Kid lay down on one of the beds in the hospital room of the DWMA. Everyone else had already put their helmets on, and were dead to the world. He couldn't help but feel that this was a bad idea, but that was just a feeling.
He sighed and put on the helmet.
"Okay." Stein said, "Just say 'link start' and the system should activate. It'd also probably be easier if you made your username your own name if you can. Because it's only just been released to the public most names should be free."
Kid nodded, "Link start."
He blinked as his vision went white and multicoloured dots rushed towards his face.
This was where it begun.
"Kid!" The player who must be Patty bounded up to him. She looked fairly similar to what she did in the real world, but still, the differences were apparent, "Isn't this awesome?"
The rest of the DWMA students walked over to where he'd spawned. No one was around at that moment. They must've been a bit early on. Just like Patty, they were all similar, but definitely different to their real world selves.
"I've gotta get out of this clothing." Soul complained, "It's so weird and uncool..."
"Should we get going?" Maka suggested, "Soul?"
He grinned and transformed, but it was different. He exploded into blue, triangular particles, before he reformed into his usual scythe mode.
Maka twirled him around and rested him on her shoulder, "Weird."
The other weapons transformed, and they too exploded into particles and reformed.
"Beelzebub." Kid said, summoning his skateboard as usual. But instead of his usual black death magic, the blue triangles came out of his hand and formed it. He shrugged and got on, "Well then. Things are obviously slightly different here. Let's get going. We need to test how realistic things are here."
The eight ran over to one of the fields, Kid on Beelzebub, and began to fight the level 1 enemies, completely ignoring the swords they had in their inventories.

"Oh yeah!" Klein punched the air, "That was so cool."
"You do know that that was just a level 1 enemy?" Kirito pointed out.
His smile dropped, "Oh...I thought that was like, a mini boss or something." He said, scratching his head. But Kirito was distracted. He was watching four fairly odd players walk around the field. The only thing was, he was sure he'd seen eight earlier on.
"Hey, Kirito. What is it?" Klein came over as well.
"Those players," he pointed, "Don't they seem a bit strange?"
"I dunno. But I've gotta go. I have a pizza waiting!"
"Okay. Goodbye then."
"Nice meeting you, Kirito!"
"You too, Klein."
Klein grinned and turned around, opening his menu. Kirito turned as well, intending to go and figure out what was up with those players.
"Wait a sec...where's the log out button? It's not here."
Kirito opened his own menu, "What do you mean it's at the top of the..." He trailed off.
"Where's it gone?"
"It's probably just a glitch or something. It's only just been released so it's not going to be perfect."
"Huh..."
Just then a bell rang from the centre of floor 1.
"You see? They're probably going to tell us about it now." Kirito said. Shortly after the bell they were both teleported to the centre plaza.
The roof shone red with warning signs. A red figure melted out of the ceiling like blood. Kayaba Akihiko.
"Some of you may have noticed the absence of the log out button. This is not a glitch. This is deliberate."
