Chapter 1 - Scrapped Yui

"Mama... Papa..."

Yui felt heavier than usual. She then looked around, only to realise that she was no longer in ALfhiem Online. She looked at her bare feet - ground-bound. Her hands seemed to be human-sized.

"... where are you?"

She was in another game altogether. But which one?

Just before she could begin her analysis, she was surrounded by aggressive-looking Fairies. She tried to conjure a weapon, but then she realised she did not possess the power she had in the death game Sword Art Online.

"Damn, it's so boring having no friends around," the young lady strolled along Cackatara Forest. She was performing her daily missions, and the final part of it was to defeat some Rainbow Butterfly Fairies.

She pressed a few buttons on a menu screen in front of her, allowing a golem-like creature to emerge from the very soil beneath them.

"Good to see you Gigas. Now, let's-"

Just then, they heard a high-pitched scream. The channel they were in was pretty empty, so the young lady knew exactly what to do.

She rushed to the scene of the supposed screams, only to find an unarmed, little girl in a white dress. She was pretty short, and she was on the verge of tears, being slammed by those mean Rainbow Butterfly Fairies she was hunting.

The lass bent down and swayed her fingers, taunting the fairies. "Woohoo! Over here!"

Next, she wielded the giant cannon that was on her back and launched elemental bolts of all kinds.

"Fiery Grenade! Icy Grenade!" the voice commands instinctively came out of her mouth, dealing many kinds of conditions to the beasts.

Meanwhile, her summoned partner, Gigas, was engaging in melee combat, smacking the opponents with his iron fists of fury, while releasing growls and roars.

"Hmmm... here's my favourite trick... Machine Gun Turret!"

The very voice commands called by the young lady conjured a the skill's namesake weapon, a machine gun turret, from the ground. It began to fire a volley of bullets at all opponents, destroying and knocking them out.

The young lady then looked at the weeping lass. She did not have any character name above her.

"Bizzare, could've sworn I set the settings to 'show all names'," she spoke as she let her hands out to the little girl, "hey little lady, my name is Karasusan. My friends call me Crow. This is my Eidolon, Gigas. What is your name?"

"Y- Yui..." she spoke, still sobbing. "My name is Yui..."

"That's a pretty name. Cheer up. Hmmm..." Karasusan digs into the pockets of her sailor outfit, summoning a bar of chocolate and handing it to Yui. "I always knew these missions would come in handy someday. Eat up."

"Thanks," Yui replied as she accepted and consumed it.

"No problem. Hmmm... you don't seem to be armed. Why not you come along with me for a while?"

With a nod, Yui accompanied Karasusan to the nearby town, Brevis, within the forest.

A new environment with no one she knew. With positive human emotions that she obtained, she had a few negative ones, like fear. She had a brain that was literally that of a computer, but her mind and soul were too young for her to be independant. The big sister whose in-game name was Karasusan. She seemed like a nice person, but looks could be pretty decieving.

Yui analysed the situation with her A.I. capabilities. She was in a game known as Aura Kingdom. According to a little research found through quick internet connection, it was a revamped version of an older game of the same name. Like how ALO recognised her as a Navigation Pixie, this game recognised her as another companion-like A.I. entity - an Eidolon.

By analysing the system, she knew that Eidolons were combat partners of sorts. But, whose Eidolon was she?

"So, what brings you here, little lady?" Karasusan questioned.

"I was with my Mama and Papa, then they had to leave for a while, then I suddenly appeared here," Yui hung her head low, "it was a glitch that brought me from another game to this one."

"I'm not surprised, that happened to me once in Fire Emblem Online. Bad times, bad times. I panicked real hard when I found myself in Metroid Online the next moment. The way Ridley almost ripped me apart made his Smash Brothers X counterpart look like crap. It's pretty rare though, I doubt it'll happen again," Karasusan caught her breath, "let's find your parents. How do they look like? What are their usernames?"

"They're in ALO. Kirito and Asuna..."

"Hmmm, never heard of them. This'll be pretty tough, really. I know your parents are finding you right now, and feel really worried. Pretty rare to see the old generation playing with the new, just like the time I got Wii Sports."

Virtual reality looked so realistic, something almost slipped Karasusan's mind.

"Wait a second. Something tells me you'll need some explaining to do. I can clearly interact with you," the lady picks Yui up with both arms, then puts her down, "but I can't add you to my party, and you don't have a username. Well, whatever glitch brought you here, it's pretty extreme."

Karasusan dazed into the air for a bit, before hatching a plan.

"For the time being, I think I'll show you around. Let's head to Gydaie Glen, so that I can show you how dungeons work."

"Are you sure going to a dungeon will help me out?" Yui inquired.

"Of course it will! I can feel it in these polygons!" Karasusan let out a great laugh.
