Chapter 1: Redive
It had been 6 months since sword art online had been cleared and the remaining 6,000 or so player's hadhad there minds released. Yukii Asuna was a great exception to everyone else since she had died in game and shouldn't be alive right now, but a boy named Kazuto had made a deal with the game master to keep her alive. Asuna had just regained her ability to walk two weeks ago and now she was on her way to see her savior/virtual husband right now.
When she arrived at his room a teenage girl was in the room sitting next to his bed but she couldn't see his face. Asuna knocked on the door and the girl turned to face her.
"hello may I help you?" she said in a calm tone
"erm, I'm looking for Kazuto-kun do you know which room is his" Asuna said in a polite voice "I'm a friend from that horrible game"
"I'm sorry but onii-chan has awoken yet" the girls said as tears welled up in her eyes "everyone else woke up so why hasn't onii-chan? He cleared the game right so why wouldn't he wake up?"
Before the young girl could continue Asuna had wrapped her arms around her and held on as tight as she could.
"don't worry your brother was the strongest in the game so I'm sure he'll come out soon" Asuna said trying to comfort the girl.
"your wrong" she said as she held on tight to Asuna "your wrong because onii-chans not online anymore" she then broke down into tears "the game onii-chan was playing is now in the system memory of his nerve gear"
Asuna's heart broke as Kazuto's sister carried on explaining. "because there was a fault when everyone else came back, onii-chan is stuck in the game that no one can enter an eventually his mind will crack because of the stress the nerve gear is causing it but running a whole online game that was so big that its needed to run off 307 servers around the world"
When she had calmed down she introducd her self as Suguha, Kazuto's little sister. But Asuna was too concerned about Kazuto.
After she had took a moment away she phoned her father for help but he drew a blank. So she decided on the next best thing
"Sugou is there any way to help him" she asked
A tall lean man who looked like a creep to suguha looked at the brain activity of her brother and he gave a smirk before holding Asuna's hair and sniffing it.
"considering how strong he is another player might be able to activate a full dive into his cerebral cortex and pull him out but this player has to have a strong connection to Mr Kazuto otherwise his brain will reject you." he man named Sugou explained as he took another big sniff of Asuna's hair "but this is extremely dangerous, if a player was in there they'd have to be careful because the mind could break at any time and kill them both simultaneously"
"fine plug me in" Asuna said and pulled out a spare nerve gear
