"Talk"

'Thoughts'

*Place/time*

(Flashback)

"...How long have they been doing this?" Nightmare asked Kirito, who shrugged his shoulders as they both were looking at Sinon and Punisher as they were kissing for who knows how long, which the adopted brothers found a bit surprising.

"You got me, but hey you two, come on and separate, cause we seriously need to get our heads in the game right now, otherwise Death Gun can appear at any moment and can kill us when he finds us, then we might die in the real world cause he shot us." Kirito replied, before calling out to the two, who ignored him, which made Nightmare shake his head at that, before he thought about what Kirito said at the end, before he looked at the puddle in the cave that they were in and saw a lizard drinking water, which he found a bit interesting for some reason, but he shook his head a bit to get focus then looked at Kirito with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

"That is actually impossible, because before me and Punisher came into the game we look at our stuff and found out that the stuff we have now is nothing like nerve gear, only problem is that when you unplug the device it may make you unfocused with the world, and in that sense it could mean that you will waste a few minutes of your life thinking that you are still in the game, which is something to worry about, because there is the warning that doing it a bunch of time will lead to you going to some doctors so that they can check if you are okay mentally, and that is something that I rather never find out how it is, but besides that Death Gun can't kill us the same way a nerve gear does, so he has some alternate method, which I don't know about, or have any guesses at the moment, but what I have to say is that he is slow when it comes to his kills, because it is easy for someone to take the kill if he does his pose in front of a bunch of people, I mean seriously I could have killed him myself if I was not so focus on saving everyone." Nightmare told Kirito, who looked at him in disbelief for a few seconds, before he thought about what he said, not realizing that both Sinon and Punisher stopped kissing, and looked at both boys with blushes on their faces, but they heard what they were talking about, and they were also curious on the subject.

"Maybe that is the case...time...killing in real life...yes I can see some pattern, but what it is, I have a thought on that, but it comes to the thought on how can he find their targets, and I do not mean in the game, I mean in real life, cause if I am right then we have a problem." Kirito replied, making Nightmare blink for a few moments, before he looked at the top of the cave, and saw that a bug was almost invisible with it due to the color and place it was at, which made his eyes widen, when he thought of when it was the beginning of the tournament, then to at what happened at the city and the bridge, making him become really pale when he realized the answer to Kirito's question, making him drop to the ground.

"The answer was in front of us the whole time, his cloak it can make him invisible, and with that ability he can use to turn invisible then he can look over our shoulders and see any information...good thing I barely put anything, all I honestly did was put in my phone number, and even then I type so fast that barely anyone could see it, then I covered Punisher's info from anyone, so that is good, hell I saw what you put when I passed by you, so that is pretty cool that you thought something similar to me, I do not know about Sinon, but now that we are talking about this I can understand this all now a bit more, checks peoples info, and pass users info and get their location, probably uses some drug to kill them, finds person in game, kills then and at that moment the person is killed, but there is something missing to this, how can he be here and there at the same time, plus if that is the case then from that broadcast here in the game that guy died almost the same time that Death gun shot that screen with his gun...plus it was wide out in the open, and he got the attention of a bunch of people...attention, but why, maybe a timer, for who, does he set up a device at the location and it is hidden so well, or does he secretly put it in someones place like a gas which kills the person?" Nightmare spoke up with an idea, before saying some ideas out loud, but when Kirito heard them he looked at Nightmare for a few seconds, then at Punisher, which he noticed was done kissing Sinon, which both of them looked at them with thoughtful looks on their faces as if they were trying to come up with some ideas with what was going on, but the second he looked at both Nightmare and Punisher back and forth, then looked at a lizard which had two tails, his eyes widen, before he looked at Sinon in panic.

"What happens if there is a partner...someone that is in the real world, and Death Gun and this person came up with a list or something and calculate the time to at the place, and with that in thought if you think about it most of the people that they are after might live alone at an apartment, which if I am right many of the places around have old lock systems, electrical or not, and they brake the lock to get inside the place and do what they have to do, which is to use a drug that will kill the person, because if I am right then the reports they have about the people that were killed were that they died due to heart giving up...which explains the slow killings and the timing of it all, and finally the cross signal that Death Gun was giving...showing that a person is waiting...and if that is the case then Sinon..." Kirito claimed with a small gulp, before at the end he looked at Sinon, who looked at him confusion, but Nightmare and Punisher caught onto what he said quickly and looked at Sinon with wide eyes, though Punisher looked like a ghost when he realized what is going on.

"Sinon...lives alone...if Death Gun saw her info, then that means she knows where she lives, and I have been to her place the lock was old and easy to access, but unlike if Death Gun did found out where me and Nightmare were it would not matter since both of us are protected by my brother, so Sinon, please calm down, and be careful how ypu react, because what I am about to tell you will either end up with you getting logged out, or something worse, now listen now how the three act with us with sword is a mind set that we develop in SAO, but Death Gun if he was a part of laughing coffin then he has the mindset to kill anyone, which makes me believe that you are in danger, so please listen, at this moment we fear that the person working with Death Gun is in your place, waiting until Death Gun shoots you so that he can kill you, and I can prove it since he was aiming to kill you with that pistol, and to make it worse he was taking his time." Punisher told Sinon, who looked at him for a few seconds, before her eyes widen and fear started to appear on her face, as she slowly backed up to a wall and was breathing hard, which Punisher noticed and ran to her and hugged her and was telling her some comforting words, while Nightmare and Kirito looked at the two guilt since they told the two how Death Gun kills people in real life in a game, which Nightmare's grip on his hand tightens as he soon gained a determine look in his eyes.

"Don't worry Sinon, we won't let him finish you off, we will make a plan and finish Death Gun off once and for all." Nightmare declared, which Kirito nodded his head in agreement, while Punisher looked at him with agreement, but was still trying to calm Sinon down.

*In ALO*

"Chrysheight, what the hell took you so long!" Liz called out in rage as she looked at a man who was a the same race fairy as Asuna, he had long hair that was blue and was wearing some robes, and glasses, but as the man known as Chrysheight entered the room he noticed that Asuna was glaring at him.

"Well I did had to travel here at the fastest flying speed I could produce, and I was at the spot I saved at, so please don't yell at me for not being here in advance, jeez if there were cops that would give tickets I would get a bunch at the speed I was going at." Chrysheight told everyone as he tried to lighten the mood, but noticed that everyone was looking at him with narrowed looks, causing him to sigh.

"I want answers, what is going on in GGO? Why did you send Kirito in there for? And Seven did you get into contact with either Nightmare or Punisher in the real world?" Asuna asked a bunch of questions aimed at Chrysheight, who looked a bit nervous when the questions were aimed at him, before she looked at Seven, who sighed for a moment.

"No, they are not anywhere, there phones are off, and so far everyone in their families is saying they had not seen them, but I think that Punishers brother might know something, but enough of that what is going on in GGO." Seven replied, before she glared at Chrysheight, who flinched, but before he could say something Yui appeared and landed on the table that was near him and Asuna.

"That is simple, there were reports on November 9th that a player named Death Gun, well that is what he calls himself killed someone by shooting a screen about a report happening in GGO and in that process killed someone some how, and in the real world people found out he was really dead, causing this mass chaos, then if I have to guess what happened to Papa is that he was forced to go to GGO by your orders too find out if this was true or not." Yui claimed, which shocked Chrysheight, before he gave her a small smile.

"Well I have to admit that you are right, and we did find out that he found a way to kill people, but I suppose it is time to be serious here...huh, well that is true, which was a concept that me and Kirito argued about for a while, which we both agreed on." Chrysheight told everyone, but when he said that Seven gasped and was pointing at the screen that was showing the list of players.

"Seven? Why are you gasping, what has your attention?" Sumeragi asked Seven, only for her to point at what she was looking at, and once everyone saw what she was pointing at everyone just looked from disbelief or horrified what they saw.

"Player...Nightmare and Punisher...they are in the game..." Rain muttered with her eyes widen, while Chrysheight looked a bit interested when he heard those two names and thought about something for a few moments, before nodding his head.

"Yes that explains it, I knew something was off, but earlier today I had a message sent to me about there being something wrong with the system, and that it was going to be messy, and I thought it was someone joking about it, but it seems I was wrong, and that this is something I need to prepare for, now if you have anything to say then go ahead and say it." Chrysheight told everyone, causing everyone to look at him with wide eyes, before Klien shook his head and looked at him.

"Well then it something that you should do now then, Death Gun is a part of Laughing Coffin, a red mark guild that kills people, and let me tell you that is something that you can't allow in a game like that at the moment." Klien replied, to which made Chysheight sigh in regret, making everyone even more worried when they heard it.

"That is something, GGO is an overseas game, and that is something that is hard to even contact, get the right people to get info, I know all about the red guilds and all that in SAO, and don't get me started on that, since my group was the reason that you were all well protected and why the press didn't attack you or your families, an other reason it would be your fault, since the SAO incident was something the press stopped talking about for a long time, now if you want to know where Kirito is then he is at the same place he was at that he had to relearn how to walk and all that, and I think you know where that is Asuna considering that you two are dating, and I have a feeling that you knew who I was and where I work for and all that from Nightmare and Kirito, well since I do talk to them a lot, well no surprise that they would tell you, now I suggest that you find Nightmare and Punisher, cause if they somehow die then I can't go into detail about that, let's just say that it will lead to things getting even more messy than you think, and I already have an idea on how they got info on what is going on, which I bet Kirito might be embarrassed about, considering that he butt dialed his own brother, so yes, now I suggest you move now, and while we can't contact them we might be able to do something about these people, but that is only for me to know, and for you to find out." Chysheight told everyone, before he smiled at everyone, before he suddenly logged out of no where shocking everyone.

"I...no, we need to focus, listen we should use our phones to check this out, a few of us should stay here and keep an eye out, while the rest of us find out where Nighmare and Punisher are, this is not a case to agree or disagree, this is the matter of saving peoples lives, so decide now! But Asuna get to where Kirito is and fast." Blade spoke up, making everyone look at him for a few minutes in thought, before they nodded their heads at what he said.

*In GGO*

"Alright, now it is time, we are clam, prepared, and we have a plan, it is pretty simple, Punisher and Sinon will cover me and Kirito on the high ground at the nearest location, and cover us if something happens or quickly take care of Death Gun, once that is done Punisher will get killed so he can get to where Sinon lives fast, then he sends a message to both me and Kirito to where she lives, then bam! We get the guy, get info out of him and we are good, now since the next scan is soon we better get ready, so everyone are you ready?" Nightmare said to everyone, which they nodded their heads to what he said, before they left the cave to go out and finished this fight once and for all.
