Floor 11
Taft
My sister, kirito and I are in a bar with a small guild that we saved whale we were collecting some materials on this floor. "Here's to us, the Moonlit Black Cats! Cheers, everyone!" ducker said and the rest of the guild replied. "I got another. Here's to the guys who saved our lives!" the rest of us raised our glasses. We then, chatted a little and I only spoke when kirito lied about his rank being half of what it was and I 'corrected' him still having us not show our full levels but there reaction was fun still. "Really? You're at that level and still only a party. You're an inspiration!" I simply told them that we have just been working together since the start of the game and cover each other's weaknesses. I then, stated to zone out until they had somehow convinced kirito and my sister to join there guild so I did to but reminded them that I needed to work on some of my other skills which was why we were down here.
The next day
The rest of the guild went off to grind in the forest while I stayed back and worked on my smithing skills cause right now I am only a little better than those on the highest available floor at the moment so I needed to crack down on that skill cause I am not going to lose to some npc. As time went on I ended up maxing my curent sword out for the time being and raised my smithing levels.
Then, the other came back with an announcement saying they had enough to buy a house soon and that tomorrow they wanted me to up there normal armer up whale they all used there back ups. I was okay with that as long as they supplied the materials for the upgrades.

It has been about two day and they not have enough to buy a house and the rest of the guild decided to go out and earn more money and I went with them. We were just moving through when ducker noticed something ahead as we entered I told ruby to stay in the doorway getting a bad feeling from this room but kirito and I realized why to late the room glowed red and the door slammed shut separating us from ruby. Then, mobs started to spawn in around us so I got next to the closed guild member ready to protect them (that ended up being Sachi) but the others were quickly over through in the end only me, Sachi, and Kirito got out of there alive. When we got back to town and told the Keita what had happened he accused us of not belong with them and having no right to have lied to them and then, he committed suicide.

It is now December 25 and what is now called the remnant of black cats were going to take down Nicholas the Renegade, who'll drop an item that can revive a dead player. If we do the event separately we should have enough to revive the rest of the guild. As we walk a group of people appeared behind us it was klein's guild so I ran a head since I was currently a level stronger then, the others and later kirito caught up to me and explained the situation with the holy dragon alliance. Lets just say that at that moment I needed a very durable punching bag then, after the chime of a clock tower I got just what I wished for. Me and kirito charged at Nicholas the Renegade.
(sorry i would do the battle but it was not apart of the episode)
When we got back to the others we even got two revival items but we were still angry.
Klein: "Huh? Kirito, hey! W-Wha?"
Kirito: "There. That's the revival item."
Kirito tosses Klein his item.
Klein: "Let's see... it says it must administer to affected player... within ten seconds?!"
Kirito: "If someone dies in front of you someday, make sure you use it."
Klein: "Kirito ... Listen. Stay alive, you hear? I don't care how you do it. Just stay alive, to the end!"
Kirito: "See you."
The rest of us walk away with our heads hung low because we had failed the moonlit black cats.

Pov Kirito
I was sitting on a chair in front of a desk in my room alone when an item appeared in my box from Sachi. It was a recorder and when I activated it I heard her voice.
Sachi: "Merry Christmas, Kirito! By the time you hear this, I'll probably be dead. How can I explain this, let's see… To tell you the truth, I never really wanted to leave the Town of Beginnings. And I knew if I fought with an attitude like that, I would end up dying someday. But that's not anyone's fault. That's something I have to deal with. Kirito, ever since that night you found me, you kept telling me I wasn't going to die, no matter what. But what if I got killed anyway? I knew that if I died, you'll blame yourself. That's why I decided to record this for you.
By the way, I know how powerful you really are. Sorry. I sort of peeked when you weren't looking. I wondered why you and your friends weren't telling the truth about what level player you guys really were. I wondered why you decided to fight with us. I never figured it out though. You know what? When I found out how strong you were, I don't know, it made me so happy. I so relieved. So even if I die, promise me you'll go on living, okay, Kirito? Stay alive, so you can see the end of this world, and find out why it was created. Find out why a weakling like me ended up here. Find out the reason you and I met. Please. That's what I wish. Looks like I still have time, so… Seeing how it's Christmas and everything, I'll sing you a song. [she hums rudolf the rednosed reindeer] Anyway, Kirito. I'm so glad that I met you, and that I could be with you... even for a little while. Thank you. Goodbye."
Then, the recorder lost its glow and hit the desk just sitting there. Just then, Sachi walked in to the room so I turned to her and walk up to her and gave her a hug and whispered in her ear. "Do not worry Sachi we will survive I am not going to let any more of us die."
