"Yea yea, yeah..." Isidro said complacently as he finished his last bites. "You can keep all those useless materials. I'm just here for the money. Got it?" He had no use for them. Even if he acquired some, he'd just sell them off real quick to make some quick cash. As Kevin geared up, he felt really under prepared. Isidro didn't wear any real armor. Just his normal clothes. Heavy armor would just slow him down anyways.

Then Kevin asked if he was ready, and he looked down at himself. There was little for him to ready. Unlike Kevin, he lived very lightly, and didn't require many supplies. The man stood up and brushed the dirt off of his pants, and fixed up his hair so it no longer stood up. "The question is, are you ready to go, boss?" He emphasized the word boss, and used it rather teasingly. It was true though. Isidro was technically employed to Kevin now.With that Isidro took out a teleportation crystal, and waited for the orders.

Isidro teleported up to floor 58, and Kevin was waiting for him. The man was hardly anxious, and proceeded along next to Kevin pretty slowly. He listened to his boss' instructions, and rolled his eyes. "Pfffttt... whatever." Isidro said brushing off Kevin's advice. There was no way he would be switching with this kid. It would just get them both killed. "Look, thanks for the advice, but I can handle myself just fine."

Isidro gave Kevin a hardy pat on the back. "Don't worry." He said trying to be assuring. Something he's not really great at. "I won't let you get killed. At least not too quickly." He joked.

Bump!~

Isidro went in after Kevin. He took a moment to prep himself, brushing the hair out of his eyes, and adjusting his sword in his hands. With a deep breath, the man rushed at the ogre, his sword pointed outward ready to strike. But he had already made a critical mistake. The beast's hand descended towards Isidro, and swatted him away with ease. Isidro went tumbling off to the side until he hit the wall. His health gage fell slightly, but he was hardly out yet, nor nervous. Taking his turn, the ogre bellowed out at charged at Isidro. The man pulled himself to his feet, and jumped out of the way. In the air, Isidro performed his Cyclone technique, landing a deep cut in its back as it rushed past.

The giant ogre, now enraged, turned to Isidro and charged once more. This time, Isidro didn't have time to jump out of the way, but rather he sliced at the monsters arms when he went in to attack. Isidro was only able to perform this for so long until the ogre was able to snatch him up. The monster held Isidro by the torso, and the man dangled upside down in front of the ogre. But Isidro had this won, or so he thought. With a victorious scream, the man plunged his sword into the ogre's abdomen, fully expecting that to be the final blow. But the monsters health still hung in the red, not dropping completely.

With an ungodly amount of force the ogre retaliated, throwing Isidro against the wall. His health meter paid severely dropping down to the low yellow zone. The man pulled himself to his feet, now completely unarmed and his health dangerously low. "Kevin!" He called out, completely disoriented on where he was anymore. The ogre was approaching quickly. "Quick, get over here!" Now, Isidro was pretty nervous.

[ ooc: Hey, sorry about my absence. I took an unexpected hiatus, and completely forgot to post again. Super sorry about that. But I'm back! ]

Kevin's attacks had managed to provide the perfect distraction that Isidro needed to recoup. While the other was attacking, Isidro scrambled to his sword that had fell to the floor some feet away from him. Grasping the sword tightly between his hands he charged again, but this time with more precision. If this attack failed, no doubt Isidro's health would be gone completely. Just after the ogre smacked Kevin against the wall, Isidro leapt into the air digging his blade into the monsters back. The sword drug its way deep down the ogre's back. That was it. Like everything else that died in SAO, the ogre exploded into a flurry of particles. The battle was over, for now.

Isidro ran over to Kevin. "Hang in there." He said not seeming to worried anymore. Just exhausted already. Isidro took a deep breath, calming his body down from the battle. Now slightly more stable, the man flicked through his inventory for a healing crystal. Isidro sat down next to the boy. Isidro positioned one of his hands behind Kevin's head to support it, the fur from Isidro's glove gently brushed his cheek. With his other hand he used the crystal on Kevin, and watched. The man wasn't certain if the crystal would work since Kevin appeared to be stunned. He just hoped he selected the right one. He wasn't the smartest when it came to all the different types of items and things in SAO.

But whilst healing the boy, it didn't even cross his mind to heal himself first. Something quite odd for Isidro, who usually only cared for his own security.

{ ooc: Added a health bar for reference. ^.^ }

OOC:bump and great idea for the health bar

Kevin finished his food and opened his inventory. He had a few extra Buff type cyrstals left. he handed half of them to isidro. "At each room use one yellow one and one blue. one reduces damage taken and one is an armor buff. We have too look at like a raid in an old school mmo. someone will tank while the other supports and does dps. We have to switch or something. Teamwork will have better odds then anything else."

Kevin quickly stood and slashed at a tree in frustration. "Mabye this is impossible . mabye we will never get out of this place." Kevin opened his menu and sent Isidro's payment to him " If you dont want to do this i understand.

Kevin quickly turned around when isidro grasped him. He sighed and shook his head. He hadn't even thought about how he was acting. "I-im sorry for my behavior, i just haven't been the same since i lost my brother. Anyway if you wish to go in i must warn you we may not come out."

He grasped the key from his inventory and placeinto the keyhole on the grand entrance. Just then he got a notification and a friend of his popped up on his menu. and he spoke with him for a moment Okay the first few rooms will be easy if we use these crystals. its the boss i have no idea about. my friend decephiered the markings last time we were here giving us some info. And in case you wonder why he is not here is he is afraid of everything and would't return."

When the door opened he began to walk inside. he felt embarrsed he did not mean to act childish its just the fact that he cannot return to his real Home.
