Chapter 11: The End... For Now

The rest of "The SAO Incident" went relatively smoothly. Kei and the White Crusade eliminated a large portion of the thieves and player killers in the game and scared the rest into hiding. The only real incident was when Kei convinced Yui to admit that she was just a program made from the SAO server, the matter was made worse by Kei admitting he knew almost from the very beginning, but the couple eventually got over it when he revealed his backup file that could be transferred between games. In the end, SAO ended with about 4,500 people dead, Kei's crusade responsible for about one thousand of those and Kei himself responsible for 283, a number only Kei knew.

When the death game was finally over, Kei was placed in jail for the murder of so many people and also taking responsibility for the actions of his entire guild. Kei was found guilty of his crimes, but, miraculously, received minimal sentencing on the grounds that they were all in consideration for the safety of the people.
