Floor 10 (SAO open)

After a good while, jumping in and out of guilds, Phoenix made it. It was the 10th floor and she figured she could do it on her own. Help would be nice, of course, but she'd like an extra item here and there. Maybe a cloak that gives her protection, or a potion.
She didn't know what she was against, but this dungeon was creepy.
Phoenix wasn't wearing much considering there was fire everywhere! This dungeon was full of fire monsters , fire dogs, fire skeletons, everything! She wasn't looking forward to the boss, but, yet again, she had to keep on reminding herself that this was a game and that you didn't actually feel anything.

As Phoenix walked up to the giant gates, she sighed inwardly. She was ready for this, she just had to take that first step. She pressed her palm against the door and pushed it open. She grabbed her sword and held it in front of her as she stepped into the room.
There was lava pouring from the walls into a little have circle lava moat. In the center of the room stood a red ogar with a two handed ax. It had tribe tattoos and constantly spit fire angrily. Phoenix was intimidated, but was ready. The giant ogar shot towards her and breathed fire towards her. She quickly jumped out of the way and sprinted around the ogar just to strike it in the back. It would throw it's ax around and miss Phoenix by inches.
The ax got stuck in the ground, so to use this to Phoenix's advantage, she ran up it and charged her sword. The sword glowed red as she sprinted up the ogar with frightening speed. "FIRE LIGHT!" Phoenix yelled as her sword spun like a drill. She hit the ogar right in the head, taking out half a bar of the hp. After this bar, there were 3 more to go.

Phoenix looked at the boy who entered, he took the name Jak, from his gamer tag. Phoenix was slightly mad that he took her monster, but happy that someone else came. 'Thanks for the warning!" Phoenix chimed happily towards Jak. "By the way, my name is Phoenix!" She introduced herself by sticking out her hand that wasn't holding her custom made sword. "You're really fast! Do you specialize in speed?" Phoenix asked, knowing that she also specialized in speed.

Phoenix smiled at him. "Sure!" She chimed happily, dodging the ax in a quick movement. She watched Jak attack the ogre and shot off immediately when he yelled switch. Phoenix moved with such speed it would be hard to keep up with her. The ogre would breath fire at her with she dodged with a flip and drove her sword into it's arm. She used the sword to fling her towards the ogre's face. "PHOENIX SPARK!" Phoenix shouted as sword glowed orange. She struck the ogres face so quickly that it seemed like she was lagging. He final hit sent the ogre falling down, landing in a boom.
Phoenix landed easily in front of the ogre which disappeared into pixels. She put her sword back and turned to Jak with a smile.

Taking out her sword again, Phoenix charged back into battle with a smile on her face. She was probably one of the most happiest players on SAO, with one of the coolest gamer tags!
After another epic battle filled with slashes, hits, and jabs, a rope appeared. She turned to Jak to see him ready to give her a boost. "This better not be a trap!" Phoenix shouted as she charged towards Jak, jumped on his hand, and used his boost to throw herself up towards the rope. She stretched her hand as far as it could go and just grabbed the bottom of it. She pulled herself up and held onto it like a koala to a stick of bamboo.

Phoenix opens her eyes just to see Jak jump in the cellar beneath her. He took out his crystal, and looking around, she knew exactly why. More and More ogres appeared from no where and two people were not going to be able to defeat them all.
Looking down, Phoenix took out her crystal and let go of the rope. She then dropped in the darkness, not knowing what to expect or what was going to happen.

Phoenix was laughing when she fell, not realizing the actual danger she was until she got farther down into the pit. She was caught by Jak and smiled at him brightly, thanking him. She got down gracefully and looked at the treasure chest. The bridge was pretty rickety, but she knew she could cross it.
"High enough to make it across before the monster realizes I'm there!" Phoenix chimed brightly, placing her hands on her hips. "The only problem is, if there is anything actually in the chest." She remarked thoughtfully for a moment, snapping back to reality a second later with a smile.

Phoenix nodded towards Jak and shot off at top speed with them. Although there was a possibility that they might die, Phoenix was still smiling.
They made it across the bridge and when they had to, Phoenix jumped high in the air, giving the beast no chance to get her. She took out her sword and when Jak told her so, she was ready to attack. She didn't know him well, but she was still caring enough to try her best to make sure both players got out alive.
"PHOENIX SPARK!" She yelled as she dropped down, faster then before. her blade glowed orange as she struck different sides of the monster with such speed that it was hard to see where she was at when she was attacking.

As the monster burst into pixels, Phoenix landed smoothly next to Jak. She put back her sword and looked at the chest, then back to Jak. "I think either way, we should split it. If it's a really rare item, we'd sell that, split the money, and use it for our own personal bindings!" She explained with a smile. "but, if the item is something you need, you can take it. You did come in and save my butt with the first monster." Phoenix added with a thankful smile.
