The Reinforcements
Chapter 1 The SAO incident
A/N I am new at writing Fan Fictions but I would love feedback on how I am doing or if i do something very off from the story line (I haven't read the books so i'm kinda winging it) and I will try to reply to Reviews as fast as I am able.
It started yesterday at around 1600. I was at work at the US base in Japan. I was hoping to get off work early so I could play Sword Art Online which I had gotten as a beta tester. I looked at the clock again…..1601….
Being a civilian worker on a military base was fun. Working almost as military but not having to do the physical work to get there. But having to work the sometimes odd hours I get was a little off putting especially with my sister visiting for a couple months.
"Hey Darren" my military co-worker called "get over to the electronics you gota see what's happening"
"Just a sec sergeant I'm almost done with the new inventory" I replied
"Just leave it and get over here"
I set down the packages of new stock that I was sorting and walked over to where he was standing with several other people watching the local English news channel
'We repeat to not try to forcibly remove anyone connected to the nerve gear in connection with Sword Art Online or SAO as it is commonly called. All attempts to do so has proven fatal for the individuals that are now trapped in SAO there has been reported almost two hundred cases of family and friends doing so and killing the occupant of the nerve gear. Kayaba Akihiko has trapped ten thousand people in the VRMMORPG that he himself has created. There is information saying that the people affected can be transported to hospital where they can be cared for during this crisis. If someone you know is connected to a nerve gear do not call the emergency number but call this number…..'
I stood there blank faced thinking I just escaped a possible death sentence trapped in that game
'Wow Darren you lucked out on that one…I know you have been working hard to get home early to join into that.'
"ya I did get lucky there Sargent." I said with a bit of relief
"Didn't you say you let your sister try it and she liked it." I froze at the words of the woman standing next to me. "She wouldn't have gone in while you where at work work would she?"
In a flash I was running for my phone behind the counter and speed dialing my house.
Ring
Ring
Ring
Ring
No answer
"go home and check here is the number they said to use just in case" said the Sargent passing me a slip of paper." I'll let the gate know your coming though and to just wave you on"
"Thank you Sargent," I said gratefully snapping off a proper military salute to show my respect before running for my car
The drive to my apartment was torture. All radio channels where spilling updates on the SAO incident and I had no idea if my sister was asleep in the bath or trapped in the game. Ambulances rushed everywhere likely picking up people to take them where ever they would be going to be cared for.
I finally reached my home and ran for all I was worth up the flights of stairs to my place. I always thought of it as small comfortable but sister called it 'cramped and cute'. I quickly keyed the lock and burst though to the sight I had most feared for the past three quarters of an hour
My sister lay on the couch the nerve gear on her head, her breath slow and even. She looked peaceful with her sleep like posture almost like a sleeping beauty trapped in a prison with no walls facing the now named death game of Sword art online.
A/N I know this was short but it's my first time. I'll try to have the next chapter out soon.
