They were in the sky, surrounded by the clouds. The orange sun reflecting upon them.
The two lovers could see the castle from above the clouds. The world of Aincrad, the castle in the sky, their prison for the last two years was crumbling.

"There goes my castle."
"Why …" her husband spoke up.
"Why did you do this?" asked Kirito, the man who slain a god.
"Why?" a small smile on the GM's face. His face then split into a huge grin.
""I am mad scientist. It's so cool! Sonuvabitch!" Kayaba Akihiko then did an obnoxious laugh before disappearing into smoke.
The two players stood there with their mouths hanging. Moments before they both disappeared, they both only had three words to say which were spoken simultaneously.
"What."
"The."
"Fuck?"
Their world disappeared in bright white light.
All credit goes to Festus Flare. We were discussing what the true reason Kayaba made the world, he said the line and immediately, this fic came into reality.
Go read his stuff. Like now. It's awesomesauce.
Yes and I'm working of the fourth chapter of Aincrad Retold. Just a minor distraction. Chill out you guys.
