Chapter 1: Let the Death Game Begin!
November 6th 2022 22:55 PM: Amity Park, Illinois America
No One's POV
"Today is the day as fans of VRMMORPG gather in Japan to buy a copy of the latest and most wanted VR game of the century Sword Art Online, unfortunately the game is only available to those in Japan so far due to the creator Akihiko Kayaba, wanting to start small and eventually spread out to other countries with this game if it is a success in Japan. The only exception to this rule are the Beta Testers outside of Japan that were lucky enough to test the game in its beta stage before the official release as a personal thank you from Akihiko Kayaba for helping test and perfect the game. Good luck to those who managed to get a copy though, this is Harriet Chin of Amity Park News in Tokyo Japan signing out".
A young boy of the age of fifteen nearly sixteen with black hair and blue eyes is staring at his computer screen watching the local news report on the newest and hottest topic to take the world by storm, Sword Art Online, the world's first successfully working VRMMORPG. Just thinking about been one of the few lucky people within America to be chosen to be one of the games Beta Testers causes him to smirk, although the smirk is gone from his face when he hears a loud bang from the middle of his street causing him to rush over to the window and look out to see his parents trying to repair the Fenton Ghost Assault Vehicle or GAV as it was known as by its abbreviation, with his sister as usual telling them of for over charging the ectoplasmic filter in the middle of the night …again. The boy just stares at his family arguing over the repairs on the Gav causing him to laugh until, he hears a beep from his computer screen. The boy turns back around to face his computer screen when a message pops up on his screen from one of his closest friends, a young girl of the age of fifteen with black hair with purple streaks tied into a ponytail and purples eyes wearing a gothic looking outfit. Danny are you there, cause the server for SAO is going to open soon and me and Tuck aren't diving without you mister, reading the message caused Danny to laugh to himself before he typed his reply back Sam, don't worry I'm here, just saw my parents blow another filter for the GAV, nothing to worry about, I wouldn't miss this for the world, anyway I am about to dive so I will meet you and Tuck in the town centre of the town of beginnings.
Danny's POV
I sigh to myself trying to calm myself down Me, Sam and Tucker had been waiting to dive into SAO since it was announced to be public play, my thoughts are interrupted as one more message pops up Alright, Don't forget this is a chance for you to relax from your paranormal problems! :D, when I read this message it causes me to laugh before I look at my Nerve Gear sat on my bed before I get up and put it on and lay on the bed. When I activate my Nerve Gear "Link Start" my only thought while watching all my setting been checked was a chance of normalcy at last, the only thing was that I was wrong so very wrong, my life will never be normal and I final have come to accept that, this is what makes me realise that my life, the life of a Phantom is better than no life at all and this is how it happens.
November 6th 2022 13:01 PM Japan Time: SAO Aincrad, Floor 1 Town of Beginnings, New Dawn Tavern
"Well Aincrad, I said I would be back and here I am and better than ever, so you better watch out", with this been said I run out of the New Dawn Tavern causing the NPC working at the bar to yell at me and I start sprinting towards the town centre looking for Sam and Tucker. When I reach the centre, I start to look around for Sam and Tucker, noticing them standing next to the Fountain talking to a girl player about the SAO system, Sam's player was set to the average avatar height and build with pale skin, long black hair tied in a ponytail and purple eyes with the standard female beginners outfit in purple and black with the pre-set sword, while Tucker had set his avatar to the maximum height and build "No Surprise really, he always though himself as a ladies man" with dark skin, short black hair, brown eyes with the standard male beginners outfit in red and brown with the pre-set sword. I walk up to them "Techwiz, Chaos, there you are", this been said caused Tucker and Sam to turn around and look at me, my avatar was based on my real life appearance in almost every way except for a few things such as my hair which was a bit longer due to it been the closest one to my real world hair style and my outfit which was a white, red and black coloured male standard beginners outfit.
Sam responded first to me greetings, "Phantom, you made the dive on time for once", this been said caused me to blush and Tucker to burst out laughing at my expenses, while Sam smirked playfully at me, the female player that they were talking to earlier, suddenly squealed causing me to wince due to my enhanced hearing "one of the only few powers I still have in the Virtual World". I turn to look at the female player she was by the looks of her avatar a preteen, this was noticeable due to the fact that her avatar was set to the shortest height and build for the female avatar with hair that was a light brown colour tied into two ponytails, brown eyes, pale skin and a red and yellow standard female beginners outfit and pre-set sword. She final finds her words "B….bb…By any chance are you three the Doomsday Trio, Chaos, Techwiz and Phantom, winners of the first VRMMORPG DOOM: VITRUAL STRIKE", this causes me, Sam and Tucker to look at her in shock, before Tucker regained some form of dignity "Well, erm miss ….", the girl looks at Tucker in confusion before laughing "Silica" "Right Silica, how would you know about that game it was a fifteen plus". Silica then looks at us nervously because we were giving her concerned glares "Don't look at me like that I never played that game my friend, who likes to travel a lot claimed that her cousin was a player in that game, named Phantom and his team consisted of himself, a female called Chaos and another male called Techwiz and they were the champs earning them the title the Doomsday Trio".
Sam then looks at me in shock "Phantom you don't think that Silica is talking about Da….." but before Sam could finish a familiar face charges past us causing us to be pushed into the fountain. Me, Sam and Tucker pulled ourselves out of the fountain spiting water looking around for Silica only to discover that she had vanished, but we could still see the avatar that pushed us into the fountain running into a nearby ally. Sam looks at me with a fierce look of anger "Phantom was that who I think it was?", I then sigh and nod in her direction before Sam starts shouting at the top of her lungs and charging after the players avatar "Get back here Kirito, I'm going to kill you, slowly and very painfully". Tucker then laughs in the direction Sam ran off "He's so going to get it this time, Phantom", I look at Tucker with serious expression "You do realise that she is serious this time?", you could instantly see Tucker's expression shift from one of mirth to panic before jumping in the air and charging of after Sam, shouting his head off and causing several other players to look at us, "CHAOS COME BACK HERE!, DON'T DO SOMETHING YOUR'LL REGRET!". I then sigh before stating "Friends can't live with them, can't live without them, WAIT UP", before sprinting off in the direction the others and had ran in.
No Ones POV
SAO Aincrad Floor 1 Outskirts of the Town of Beginnings
Klein and Kirito were slaying the wild boar mobs using the beginner's sword skills attempting to level up before Kirito was tackled by a black and purple blur. Causing Klein to stop attack anymore wild boars and Kirito's HP Bar to decrease by a small amount before it start to drop more rapidly due to blur been Chaos punching Kirito to a plumb. "YOU MORONIC IDIOT KIRITO, YOU HAD TO PUSH ME AND THE OTHERS INTO THE FOUNTAIN WITH YOUR CARELESS RUNNING THROUGH TOWN!" each word of this sentence was accompanied by Chaos punching Kirito. Klein just looked at Kirito and Chaos in confusion "Dude who is this crazy but hot chick", fortunately due to Chaos's rage she didn't hear Klein's comment and was still punching Kirito but was broken out of her rage by a familiar sound "CHAOS, STOP IF YOU KEEP THIS UP YOUR'LL BECOME THE FIRST PKER OF SAO!". This been said causes Chaos to blink and then leap of Kirito and then help him up with a sheepish expression on her face, "Sorry Kirito I didn't mean to actually try to kill your avatar", Kirito just looks at Chaos with a concerned but humoured expression "Hi Chaos nice to see you too", but before the conversation could continue Phantom appeared with Techwiz who was a mile or two away crawling in attempt to reach them.
"Phantom, why did you let my rage get the best of me again", causing Phantom to blush but in what Chaos couldn't tell and his mumbling didn't help either although this was interrupted by Techwiz making an over dramatic appearance with him breathing heavily. "N….Never…D….Do…..Th….That….AGAIN!", Phantom just sighed at Techwiz "Dude, SAO Rule Three: Our natural capabilities are enhanced in the VR world, so I don't know why you panting like you do back home". This been said causes Techwiz to scowl in Phantom's direction while Kirito and Chaos to burst out in laughter at Techwiz, although this was interrupted by Klein "Wait a minute are you telling me that all four of you are Beta Testers". The four other players exchange looks before slowly nodding in Klein's direction before Phantom stepped forward and started pointing at himself and the other Beta Testers, "I'm Phantom, that's Chaos and Techwiz and I can see you have met Kirito". Klein looks at the four players for a while before looking at Phantom directly in the eyes "Phantom, were have I heard that name before", causing Phantom to start sweating proverbial bullets "Erm…I don't know, I chose my name because no one apart for my family and two closest friends ever seem to notice me, so I'm like a ghost get it". Klein then starts to look at Phantom with confused expression before smirking "Well, alright then" causing Phantom to sigh in relief. Kirito then approaches Phantom "Hey Ghost Boy" causing Phantom to glare at Kirito and the others to burst out in laughter, before Kirito resumed "You owe me a duel" and sent Phantom a duel request causing Phantom to smirk before hitting the confirm button "Well a deal is a deal". Kirito and Phantom then stepped into a clear field free from monster mobs at least a twenty feet away from the others before removing their blades and getting into their preferred fighting stance. Kirito then looks at Phantom, "Remember first to get yellow on their opponents HP bar wins", causing Phantom to nod in Kirito's direction and then both of the duelling players start waiting for the alarm to announce they can start. While the clock was counting down, Klein looks in Chaos's and Techwiz's direction "Hey Guys, why are they talking about owing each other a duel", this causes Techwiz to smirk and Chaos to look in Phantom's direction with a blush trying not to look at Klein and Techwiz, while Phantom also snuck a glance at Chaos causing him to blush.
Techwiz looks at Klein "You see Klein when the game first came out for the Beta Test me, Phantom and Chaos dived in immediately and well in one of our first quests before we attempted to take on the Floor 1 Boss, we had to rescue a young girl from a horde of monsters of all shapes and sizes, although they were low level. And well we met Kirito during this quest when Chaos and Kirito accidently attacked each other because they mistook each other for monsters. Phantom prevented this by intercepting the attacks with his blade and utilized the motion created by the three blades to eliminate the remaining monsters. Unfortunately Kirito claimed it was his win not Phantom's but Phantom managed to talk Kirito into a duel but we never got around to it because we got so used working together, we sort of… well forgot". Techwiz then gives a sheepish smile to Klein before Klein blinks and then smirks back at him before leaning in and whispering "So I'm guessing the reason why they both blushed just then, is due to the fact that they have feelings for each other, therefore they can't bring themselves to admit that they do". Techwiz then looks at Klein before bursting out in laughter causing Chaos to turn around and glare at the two male players behind her, causing them to turn white in fright before Chaos turned around to watch the duel, giving Techwiz a moment to lean in and whisper to Klein "So you noticed the lovebirds too then, I suppose it isn't hard to notice in the VR World either" causing Klein to burst in laughter again.
Although any more conversation between the players were interrupted by the duels starting alarm causing Kirito to charge towards Phantom "AAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!" with his blade stationed behind him before the sword skill set in allowing him to charge forward with a thrusting charge, only to be blocked by Phantom using a sword skill to parry the blow above their heads causing Kirito to let out a gasp before he head-butts Kirito, receiving a "Oooohhh" from the players on the side lines and a "Aaaarrrggghh" from Kirito and his HP to drop a few segments. Kirito then responds with by twirling his blade around his body in a circular motion fuelled by a Sword Skill causing Phantom again to block with a upper cut Sword Skill to block Kirito's attack only to discovered it was a feign allowing Kirito to retaliate with a slice to the face, only to barley catch Phantom's face due to his fast reflexes causing his health to drop a few segments as well. Kirito growing tired with Phantom's constant ability to avoid serious damage to his HP, starts to chain multiple Sword Skills together in quick succession attempting to chip away at Phantom's HP, only to be block with retaliation at every blow by Phantom in a similar way to his own. From the other players point of view they could tell you that all they could see was two blurs of black and white constantly clashing. Suddenly both of the blurs skidded apart to reveal Phantom and Kirito with several virtual wounds covering them but before they could resume to the alarm went off to state the duel was over, causing all the players to look up to see that the duel was a tie.
Klein jaw drop "A tie, I thought ties weren't possible in SAO duels", Chaos turns around to Klein "Actually they are, but they are very hard to achieve in SAO, the good news is that duels are recorded by the main system and can be played back to see how the duel was won, lost or drawn, so let's find out". Chaos then opened up her menu while the others surrounded her while she loaded the footage from the duel, after watching the duel several more times Chaos found what they were looking for "Guys I have found where you both tied", causing both the Kirito and Phantom to learn in closer, only for Phantom to put is chin on Chaos's shoulder causing them both to blush and look at each other before resuming what they were doing. The video was currently set near the end of the duel but was slowed down to see the details, when played it showed at one moment both Phantom and Kirito performed a spinning Sword Skill in attempt to block each other, only to miss each other's blades and catch each other instead causing their health to drop to yellow at the same time officially ending the duel. Techwiz's and Klein's response to the end of duel was almost immediate and at the same time "Dudes that was awesome", while Chaos's response was that of a "I knew you could do it Phantom" and a "Well done" to Kirito causing both Techwiz and Klein to glance at each other with knowing looks and a blush from Phantom.
SAO Aincrad Floor 1 Outskirts of the Town of Beginnings 17:25 AST (Aincrad Standard Time)
After helping train Klein train and adjust to SAO's gaming system, the group was walking along the main road back to the Town of Beginnings, Kirito, Klein, Phantom, Chaos and Techwiz eventually stopped and sat down on the grass nearby on a cliff edge to admire Aincrad's sunset. The admiring of the sunset was eventually interrupted by Kirito "You ready to move on?", this been said causes Klein to jump up from where he was sitting "Yeah, man. Let's keep going.", he then starts to walk away while the other get up from the grass before pausing "When I look around, I can't believe it. We're inside a game, bros. Whoever made it is a genius. The things amazing. Makes me glad I was born when I was, you know?". Kirito then looks at Klein with a confused look "It's not that big a deal", Klein then looks back at Kirito with a annoyed look but before he could retaliate Chaos interrupted "You think that is bad Kirito, you should have seen Phantom's and Techwiz's faces when they first dived" causing the two let out annoyed "HEY!" causing Klein to relax a bit before he resumed his conversation with Kirito "Cut me some slack, it my first full dive!". Kirito then had a look of genuine curiosity "You've never used the Nerve Gear before today, huh? This is your first time ever?. Causing Klein to smile and look up into the sky "Uh-huh. As soon as I got the money together, I rushed out and bought all the hardware to play SAO. Stood in line and scored one of the ten thousand hard copies. Guess you could say I was pretty lucky. Although, you lot", pausing and then pointing at the others, "Were ten times as lucky getting to Beta-Test it, especially those from outside of the country, because they also got a free copy of the game when it was released".
Techwiz losing all his restraint there and then, couldn't resist showing off as usual "Well me, Chaos and Phantom are three of the American Beta-Testers", This been said causes both Phantom and Chaos to leap on top of Techwiz and attempt to cover his mouth with their hands and was accompanied with a shout of "TECHWIZ!" and a lot of arguing afterwards. Kirito and Klein just resumed their conversation while the argument resumed nearby "Dude you and the others over there, are four of the one thousand people that got the chance to test it". Kirito looks thoughtful over what Klein just said "Yeah, I guess us four were lucky, especially those three since they are international Beta-Testers" and pointed at the three arguing players. Klein then looked at the group then back at Kirito before resuming their conversation "Hey, mind if I ask how far you got into the Beta?, Kirito then looks up into the sky thoughtfully "Two months and I couldn't get further then floor eight. But now, I think I can get there within a month easy. The others often teamed up and traveled together they got to the six flour but didn't proceed because they came across a unique quest in the Beta but never finished due to the Beta been shut down." Klein just smirked at Kirito's response "Sounds to me like you're really into this!", this makes a smile appear on Kirito's face "Yeah, you could say that. During the Beta-Test, SAO was the only thing on my mind, day and night. In this world, a single blade can take you anywhere you want to go. And even though it's a virtual world, I feel more alive in here than I ever did in the real one. Anyway, you want to go do some more hunting?".
Klein gets a look of excitement on his face "You know it! But shouldn't we first break up their argument and the thing is I'm really hungry. I have to log out." Kirito looks at Klein with a look of amusement "Yeah, we really should break up the argument but it is funny to watch and they do it a lot. As to food problem, too bad the food you eat here only satisfies you hunger virtually". This causes Klein to put on a heroic pose "Yeah, for reals! That's why I ordered pizza for 5:30!". Seeing Klein do the pose caused Kirito to sweat drop and look at him with respect "Wow your prepared", Klein just laughed "You Know it! Besides, the game can wait until I get my Pizza on" "I guess". Klein looks at Kirito with a sad look due to his response "Hey, I was going to go meet up with some people I know from another game. I don't know what you're up to after this, so, I, uh, you know, if you want, you can friend them and hang with us. No, it's cool if you don't want to, no pressure. I can always introduce them another time or something". Kirito then looks at Klein with a saddened expression "Yeah, sorry. Thank, anyway", Klein looks at Kirito with a surprised expression "No way! I should be doing all the thanking! Hey, one of these days, I promise I will pay you and the others back for all your help! Virtually that is!", Kirito just sighs "Yeah, right". Klein then looks at Kirito with a happy expression before opening up his menu to begin the log out process, "Thanks for everything, man, really. Guess I'll see you around, then". Kirito then looks at Klein with a look of sincerity "If there's anything else you want to know, message me", Klein just smiles back at Kirito "Oh, sweet! I'll do that. Huh? …. Where did the log out button go?".
This been said causes Phantoms head to appear out of top of the argument turned doggy pile, "Wait, did you say the log out button isn't there?" before climbing out and running over to Kirito and Klein with Chaos and Techwiz in pursuit. Kirito looks over to Klein before opening his own menu to start the log out process "It should be there", Klein shakes his head in response "Nope, it's not here", Kirito then looks at his menu in concern "It should be at the bottom of the main menu. Huh?", Phantom looks up to Chaos and Techwiz to see they had similar confused expressions on their faces as Kirito but his thoughts were interrupted by Kirito and Klein's argument about the log out system and bugs that might have occurred on the first day out of Beta. "Seriously? SO NOW WE GOT TO WAIT UNTIL SOMEONE GETS AROUND TO FIXING THE BUG?!" causing Phantom, Chaos and Techwiz to sweat drop, before Kirito tries to calm down Klein "That or someone in the real world comes along and takes the Nerve Gear off us. That's it" causing Klein to panic even more "I LIVE ALONE. What about you lot?". Kirito just sighs again "I've got a mom and a sister. And I'm pretty sure they'll notice by dinner and come looking for me", Phantom responded next "I've got parents and a sister but they hardly ever seem to stop working, so for me it could take a while", Chaos looked around annoyed "Parents and a Grandma, but my parents are so annoying that I'm sure I will be pulled out of the game soon" and finally Techwiz " Just parents but I'm known as a techno geek so they won't visit me for a while, so I might be here a while as well".
Klein suddenly leaps at Phantom and Kirito with a crazy look on his face "You've got sisters?, how old are they?, what are they like?" but before Kirito could respond Phantom punched Klein in the stomach sending him across the field before turning to Chaos and Techwiz with a serious expression "Techwiz can you find out what is happening with the main system?", Techwiz just shook his head "Sorry Dude, the main system has locked me out". Phantom just sighed before a blue light engulfed them.
Danny/Phantom's POV
When the blue light passed I realised that I had been forced teleported, so I look around frantically for Sam and Tucker, as well as Kirito and Klein to discover they are still next to me and we had been teleported into the centre of the Town of Beginnings near the water Fountain. I could hear various cries of panic such as "What's going on? And "What happened?" etc, before noticing a lot of emergency notices appear such as warnings around the centre trapping us in. Then blood started to pour out between the crack falling into a ball before forming into what appeared to be the game master, my thoughts are interrupted by the figure suddenly speaking "Attention, players. I welcome you to my world", when this was stated various players questioned who was this mystery player "My name is Akihikio Kayaba. And of this moment, I am in control of this world". When I heard the way he worded and said that I felt something was about to go wrong, Sam calls it my Phantom sense, He sounded too much like Vlad. My thoughts are interrupted by Kayaba "I'm sure most of you have already noticed an item missing from your main menus, the log out button. Let me assure you that, this is not a defect in the game. I repeat, this not a defect. This is how "Sword Art Online" was designed to be". This causes several players to cry out at Kayaba in outrage, Tucker and Klein included.
Kayaba let the players let out their opinions before resuming "You cannot log yourselves out of SAO, and no one from the outside world will be able to shut down or remove the Nerve Gear from your head. If anyone attempts to do so, a transmitter inside the Nerve Gear will discharge a microwave signal into a microwave signal into your skull, destroying your brain and ending your life". Klein starts talking to Kirito about how the Nerve Gear works and if it was possible for what Kayaba said to actual happen if it was messed around with, Kayaba again waited for the players to release their anger at him including several profanities before he resumed. "Despite my warning, the families and friends of the some of the players have attempted removing the Nerve Gear, an unfortunate decision, to say the least. As a result, the game now has two hundred and thirteen less players than when it began. They've been deleted from both Aincrad and the real world." I heard Kirito mention the two hundred and thirteen dead players and Klein mumbling something about not believing it and each time a new piece of information was revealed by Kayaba I felt my anger building up at him. Kayaba then opens up links that appear to have the local news for all areas that the players of SAO originated from including Amity and what I saw broke my heart their weeping over a body of comatose boy was my family in a hospital room and then I saw another two articles which made me panic even more in big bold letters Local Children in Coma and World Famous Hero Phantom Vanishes. What worried me more than anything was that I was the one and only effective defence against ghost attacks without me Amity Park …. No the World would fall to the ghosts with world domination ambitions, the only thing I could think of in this situation was …..this is bad and out of my eye I could have sworn I could have saw several players including Kirito and Klein looking at me like they had read the article.
My train of though is interrupted again when Kayaba continues "As you can see, international media outlets have round the clock coverage of everything, including the deaths. At this point, it's safe to assume the likelihood of a Nerve Gear being removed is minimal at best. I hope this brings you a little comfort as you try to clear the game. It is important to remember the following: There is no longer any way to revive someone within the game. If your HP drops to zero, your avatar will be deleted from the system…. Forever. And the Nerve Gear will simultaneously destroy your brain". When this was said by Kayaba I felt a hand grasp my own, causing me to look down at my hand to see Sam had grasped my own in fear of dying like that, all I could was give her hand a comforting squeeze which she managed to return. "There is only one way for a player to escape now – you must clear the game. Right now, you're gathered on Floor One, the lowest level of Aincrad. If you can get through the dungeon and defeat the boss, you may advance to the next floor. Defeat the boss on Floor One Hundred, and you will clear the game". Several of the players were still confused because they were still questioning what Kayaba meant and Klein wasn't to amused in fact he and tucker looked like they are about to have a panic attack "We can't clear all One Hundred floors….. That's Impossible….. Even the Beta Testers never made it that far". I looked around and several of the players that were near Klein started to panic after hearing this but before they could go into a full blown panic Kayaba spoke again "Last but not least, I've placed a little present in the item storage of every player. Please have a look".
I opened up my item storage to find a mirror when it loaded in the palm of my hand, I inspect the mirror more closely to see a perfect image of my real life self and for a second I could have sworn I saw my ghost half but before I could say anything I see a bright flash and hear a lot of terrified screams. When I open up my eyes and look I see Sam and Tucker in their real world forms in their avatars clothes "Sam…Tucker is that you?, Sam turns and looks at me before whispering my name and hugging me with Tucker crying out to the world "No my looks, more gorgeous VR looks", surprisingly causing several players to laugh. Kayaba says one more thing before removing himself from the public's eye "As you can see, I have achieved my goal. This marks the end of the tutorial and the official launch of SAO. Players, I wish you the best of luck.", then suddenly all the players start to panic causing me, Tucker and Sam to be separated from Klein and Kirito in the huge crowds of people. I pull Tucker and Sam towards the New Dawn Tavern to try and gather ourselves before heading of before my hearing picks up a cracking sound and a shriek coming from a nearby ally causing me to snap out of my shocked state. I suddenly feel my ghost half's obsession kick in and I sprint in that direction to see several children players been pushed into the side of the ally with such force causing the balcony above supports to start to break and fall toward the children with several wooden crates behind that. So I do the one thing that comes to my mind I grab my sword, prepare a sword skill and leap into the air shouting orders at Sam and Tucker "Chaos, Techwiz get the children out of harm's way, no one gets hurt on my watch" this been said causes Sam and Tucker to snap out of it and rescue the kids from harm's way.
My jump carries me into the path of the falling debris before they are destroyed by using sword skills and land on the ground sheathing my weapon before I am grabbed by several players "Thank you for saving our children, we thought we had lost them in the confusion, who are you?", I look at very one around me, all of them had looks of admiration on them before I responded with the most cryptic thing I could say "I nothing but a wondering soul protecting those in need" before grabbing Sam and Tucker and running of in the direction of the New Dawn Tavern. I won't die here, I refuse to, I have to protect those outside and inside this world that is why I am still alive, that is why I will do what I can to protect those who are trapped within this world, I will not let a single soul die within my sight that is my promise, no that is my job now to allow those in here to see the outside world again, those who stand in my way won't stand a ghost of a chance.
