Death Gun: Do you not understand my question?
Kirito: I don't. So what do you mean by the real deal?
Death Gun: No matter. But whether you are fake using his name, or if you are the real one, someday I'll kill you.
Death Gun walks away and Kirito sits down. Sonic goes up to Kirito.
Sonic: Kirito, that guy... that emblem he was wearing on his wrist.
Kirito: I know.
Sonic: Are you ok?
Kirito: I'm just starting to have bad memories.
Tails: Hey Sonic, Kirito, we're back.
Sonic: How did your fights go?
Knuckles: Pretty smooth.
Tails: Not bad at all. Huh? Is everything alright guys? It looks like Kirito's about to have a panic attack.
Sonic: Guys, listen. You two remember the murder guild from SAO right?
Tails: Laughing Coffin, right? Why do you ask?
Sonic: We just saw Death Gun, and he was wearing their emblem on his wrist.
Tails: What?!
Knuckles: You're kidding right?!
Kirito: I've met him once, but I don't remember.
Flashback from SAO... Kirito, Asuna, Sonic's friends, and an entire party from the assault team heads over to Laughing Coffin's headquarters to confront them and take them in.
Divine Dragon Alliance Member: We're almost at Laughing Coffin HQ as said in the reports. I'll go over this one more time. They are red players. When the fight begins, they will do nothing but kill us. So we can't hesitate. They will kill us if we do. But for us in the assault team, we have more people and higher levels than they do. Perhaps they'll surrender without fighting.
Sonic: Hmm.
Tails: You alright Sonic?
Sonic: It's just that something doesn't feel right.
Mighty: I get that same feeling.
Kirito: Look out!
The whole Laughing Coffin guild starts attacking out of nowhere. Kirito blocks with his sword, and Asuna knocks some of them back. Sonic and Tails use their spin attack and Knuckles starts punching them. Mighty and Ray also use their spin attack.
Diving Dragon Alliance Member: Leaked info about our plan?! Impossible!
Knuckles: It's an ambush!
Sonic: Let's go!
The entire assault team attacks each of the players from Laughing Coffin. A couple of them let themselves get captured or killed, or maybe ran for it. More than ten people from the assault team were killed. So far at least twenty laughing coffin members let themselves die. Two of them were killed by Kirito's elucidator. Nobody was killed by Sonic or his friends. Back in GGO, Kirito begins to shake.
Sonic: Kirito, calm down.
Kirito: If he was a surviving member of Laughing Coffin, then he must have spoken to me some point after the fight. Or could he be one of the two that I killed? No, that can't be right, his voice was the same as Death Gun's. That guy in the cloak was Death Gun.
Tails: Kirito, snap out of it.
Sinon walks to them and taps Kirito's shoulder.
Kirito: Oh, sorry guys.
Sinon: You are one big mess. Was the fight really that close? If so, you sure made it back pretty early. You'll never make it to the finals if your fight is like that.
Kirito looks away from Sinon.
Sinon: Get a grip. You owe me, you know.
She starts to walk away but Kirito holds her hand in fear. Sinon gets some memories of herself.
Sinon: What's wrong? Is everything alright?
Kirito gets teleported to his next match.
Sinon: What happened?
Sonic: It's complicated. All I can say is that it wasn't good.
Kirito fights against Ginko, and Sonic fights against Itsuki (Also from Fatal Bullet).
Tails: Man, I can't believe Kirito can deflect bullets.
Knuckles: That's really insane.
Sonic then fights against Mighty in round 4.
Sonic: Mighty's here?!
Mighty shows up from behind.
Mighty: Hey Sonic.
Sonic: Mighty, what are you doing here in BoB?
Mighty: Just thought that this Death Gun guy would show up here. Ray is also here too.
Sonic: I see. Well I already met Death Gun. The bad news is that he was with Laughing Coffin.
Mighty: The murder guild from SAO?! What are they doing here in GGO?
Sonic: No idea. Anyway, no holding back now, alright?
Mighty: Ok.
They both spindash at each other, attacking. The fight lasts for quite a while. Meanwhile, back at the hub area.
Tails: This fight sure is taking quite a while.
Spiegel: How long has it been, ten minutes?
Sinon: They both seem equally skilled.
Knuckles: Yeah, well that's Sonic and Mighty alright.
Ray shows up and waves to Tails, Knuckles, and Sinon.
Ray: Hey guys!
Tails: Ray! Man it's good to see you again.
Ray: So what are you guys doing here in GGO.
Knuckles: Checking out the whole Death Gun crisis.
Ray: Well, that's why me and Mighty are here as well.
Tails: You wouldn't believe the bad news about him though.
Ray: What do you mean?
Tails: He was with Laughing Coffin back in SAO.
Ray: What?! But why are they here?!
Knuckles: Isn't it obvious?
Sinon: Umm, hey Ray, how are you?
Ray: Hi Sinon. By the way, you guys seen Kirito? He's insanely cool! He was deflecting bullets. Why is he disguised as a girl?
Kirito: Because that's what happens when you convert an account from another game. Remind me never to do that again.
Meanwhile, back in the fight between Sonic and Mighty...
Sonic: Man, now I know how it feels like getting hit by your shell.
Mighty: Yeah. How long have we been here?
Sonic: About ten minutes?
Mighty: Ok. Let's finish this.
Sonic dodges Mighty's spindash and he see's an opening and finishes him off using his spindash. Sonic wins.
Sonic: Yes!
Sonic gets teleported back to the hub, along with Mighty.
Tails: You were great Sonic! You too Mighty!
Mighty: So, I guess now is the semifinals. You, Kirito, and Sinon are in it. Good luck you guys.
Sinon: Let's hope that I kick Kirito's butt in the finals.
Spiegel: Good luck Sinon.
Sinon: Thank you.
In the semifinals, Kirito fights against Sonic and Sinon fights Stinger.
Sinon: He uses an FN SCAR Carbine rifle as his main weapon. Since I'm a sniper, I'll have no chance if he gets close to me. But if he wants to get close to me on this map, he has to pass through the streets. I'll finish him off then.
Sinon starts to think about Kirito.
Sinon: It's his fault...
She notices a shadow coming passed and shoots at the ground she's aiming at. She missed. A truck passes by.
Sinon: So, he wanted to make me waste that first shot to try to get close. But my shot should now be more accurate.
She shoots the driver in the window and kills him. The car explodes when it crashes.
Sinon: My advice, should have gotten out of the car. If you did, you might have seen the bullet line in time to dodge it.
Sinon gets teleported back to the hub. In the finals, she fights against Sonic.
Sinon: Oh, well that's just great. And I was so looking forward to killing Kirito.
When she gets teleported, she runs inside the bus, getting ready to snipe Sonic.
Sinon: Not sure if I'll stand a chance. He's too fast. But, why did I want to kill Kirito so much? Is it because he's like me?
Sonic starts running through the field looking for Sinon.
Sinon: He doesn't even know I'm here. This could be easy.
She aims at Sonic very calmly. She shoots at him but he suddenly dodges when he knew that something was up.
Sonic: Yikes!
Sinon: He dodged my shot? But there was no bullet line. Still, I'm not surprised.
Sonic: There she is!
Sonic starts running to the bus where Sinon is at, but she quickly jumps away.
Sinon: You know, I wanted to fight Kirito right?
Sonic: Like I care. Besides, he was too easy to beat anyway. By the way, do you think it's possible to shoot a player in game and have their heart stopped in the real world?
Sinon: No. That's not even possible. Is this about Death Gun?
Sonic: Yeah sorry for changing the subject. How about we finish this.
Sinon: Alright.
Sonic dodges every bullet Sinon shoots. He uses his spindash on her.
Sinon: He's ridiculously strong.
She throws a grenade at Sonic but when he dodges it, he loses most of his rings from the blast.
Sonic: Oh crud!
Sinon: Here I come.
She shoots Sonic with her sniper rifle, but he dodges. Sonic charges at Sinon and punches and kicks her.
Sinon: Not bad. Just letting you know, my Hecate can take you down in one blow.
Sonic: Yeah. Well I'm very spiky.
Sinon: I can see that. You're as sharp as nails. And also really fast.
Sonic: Well, they call me Sonic because I'm faster than sound. And I keep on jumping around.
Sinon: Sure they do.
She throws a grenade while they were talking and it explodes.
Sinon: Guess I won. Did I?
Sonic is now behind Sinon. He finishes her off with one last spindash. Sonic wins. Him and Sinon get teleported back to the hub.
Sonic: At least we'll be able to meet in the main tournament.
Sinon: Yeah.
Spiegel: You were great Sinon.
Sinon: Thanks.
Kirito: Well, tomorrow's the main event.
Tails: Let's hope we'll see Death Gun there.
Knuckles: We better.
