"Link start" He says as rainbow lights assault his vision while all the sensory settings boot up and his salamander avatar appears in a little village a few minutes outside of Sylvain. After flying to sylvain he sees a Cait Sith waving to him from the front gate and he lands in front of him.
"Took you long enough" Haruto, as his avatar Sokudo, said as he gives Akira, as his avatar Emiya, a fist bump and they both started walking towards a restaurant with sylph players looking at them mildly confused but not minding the two other races of fairies who were strolling through town.
"Sorry, it took awhile for me to get ready and also I found this on the mmo stream website, players are randomly being attacked and all their loot is being stolen but no one sees the attacker meaning no one can figure out which player has been stockpiling player items." He said as he pulled up the article to show Sokudo the article.
After reading it Sokudo looked shocked but wasn't really surprised, "I know there are invisibility spells but they only last for a little while and they consume a ton of mana to keep going, they don't hide footsteps though so a player should still be able to have some awareness of where their attacker is." He said but just then an alarm went off in Sokudo's menu and he looks at it sighing, "Sorry, I have a kendo tournament coming up soon so the teacher wants us to have extra training so I have to go" He said
"Alright, good luck at training" Emiya said giving his friend a smile before he logs out of ALO to get to the dojo. As soon as Haruto had logged out of the game a message appeared in Emiya's in box and he opens it up to find coordinates that tell him where to meet Shinji as his avatar, Mukō. "Well, guess it's time to go" Emiya said before going out of the inn and starts to head to the coordinates.
After a few minutes of flying he reached the location but didn't see anyone except for an undine who was Shinji's avatar, "Have you come to your senses?" He asked wanting to know if Haruto would hand over the item or not but instead of handing it over he equipped both the items he'd received at his side and didn't even move to open a trade window.
"What do you think?" Emiya asked Mukō as he looked at him with a face that shows nothing but confidence and definence
"You lowly idiot, what game are you playing, are you trying to die?" Mukō asked as he put his hand on the great sword on his back.
Emiya drew one of the swords, a short dagger looking blade that was black with the yin yang symbol on it. "Ya, who's gonna kill me?" He asked but then suddenly mages and swordsmen suddenly appeared from all different races and they surround Emiya "You coward, you can't fight for yourself" He said before blocking one of the swords but was slowly but surely overwhelmed by the seer number of people fighting him. As his vision starts to go blurry he hears yelling and another group bursts onto the scene but they seem to be fighting the army of hired goons instead of fighting him. When the screaming stopped a had covered in a black glove is the last thing he sees before blacking out.
