5:00pm

Kirito held Asuna close ontop of him as the couple lay naked on the shower room floor after making love for over 4 hours straight, Asuna smiled peacefully as she rested her head on top of her husbands muscular chest while her had his arms around her curvy waist, the only two noise's she could hear was the shower hose lightly sprinkling water on the dou and the sound of her soulmate's heartbeat

''Hey Asuna?'' Kirito asked.

''Hum?'' she replied with her usual bright smile.

''Is all this real or am I just dreaming?'' he asked, Asuna looked confused.

''Why say that?'' she asked, he looked down.

''Yesterday I watched hopelessly as Sugou blew up that warehouse right before my eyes'' he started ''When I saw that happen and I assumed you dead, It was like...I was thrown into that same endless pit of darkness as I was back during those first two months after SAO when he still had you in that birdcage back in ALFhiem...I lost all of my will to carry on for a moment...Then I killed a bunch of them with Kyouji's help'' he confessed, Asuna just listened ''All the anger...all the rage...all the hatred...I let It consume me just for the soul propose of exacting revenge upon them all, That's why I tortured Abdul...To channel my hate and anger and to bandage my loss of you...Then you showed up and It was like...that demon inside me had been vanquished away...So tell me Asuna: Is this all real or just a dream?'' he asked her, Asuna just smiled lovingly and looked into his eyes.

''That's what I've been asking myself everyday since our first kiss back in SAO, It felt strange at first but I was happy, that night you proposed to me, I was surprised yet I was happy, When we were at that cabin home on floor 22, We we'rent rich but we were happy because we had each other, When Sugou killed you on that T.V this morning I felt like all that happiness in that time was gone, I was lost without you Kirito, You are my compass in life, my light in the deepest cave and even though you may have killed people and I guess you will kill more later, there is nothing you can do of which I will not forgive you, I love you Kirito, That's a fact that will never change, so when I ask that question I ask another to answer it: Is the sky blue?'' she finished, Kirito smiled lovingly.

''When I'm with you Asuna...every sky is blue'' he said before they kissed passionately for a minute before Asuna stood up.

''Come on'' she said turning around ''Do it'' he added lifting her butt in the air, Kirito stood up and moved closer to her.

''In the 'other' one'' she said smirking sexily at him, he blushed heavily and widened his eyes, never in their relationship has she ever asked him to do it in the ass before.

30 minutes later

Kirito and Asuna, now fully clothed walked down the stairs to Goldkings office room where he, Sejirou, Eiji, Thomas and Kyouji where waiting for them.

''Finished?'' asked Thomas, the couple nodded.

''Good because thanks to the information you and Kyouji were able to get from Abdul we now have the location of the Holy empires base of operations'' Goldking said before he lead the group to the underground base and to the holographic world map where Shigemura was waiting for them.

''Pingowy Island, in the sea of Japan between Japan and South Korea'' Seijirou pointed to the small island ''From what we know, the ARGUS HQ building is now being called by member's of the group 'Eden's tower'' he explained

''the Large 200 story building has been abandoned since Kayaba's suicide in 2024 and the company was forced into bankruptcy due to the media's outcry and the many lawsuits from SAO's dead players families, we believe that Sugou is attempting to use the central nexus of the cardinal system to transmit his mind control dive and infect everyone who has a cellphone, computer, tablet, basically anything with an internet connection, once he does that...then he'll have everyone in the world under his control with the exception of his lieutenants, followers and himself'' Shigemura revealed, Asuna gasped into her mouth.

''Then we need to stop him'' Kirito said ''We need to assault that base and stop Sugou before he upload's the drive''

''That's a suicide mission Kazuto!'' Kyouji said ''There's going to be at least a hundred maybe even two hundred of those pigs guarding that place! You won't last fifteen seconds against that number''

''He's right Kazuto'' Thomas said ''To attack a fort like that you need to have more then just three people''

''You need to have the army, the navy and even the goddamn air force'' Eiji said counting his fingers.

''And the JDSF are all busy dealing with the battle of Tokyo right now to offer any assistance, While it maybe a losing battle for the Holy Empire the shock of the public and the entire world for that matter from your apparent death, I don't think anyone is in any state of will to help us'' Seijirou revealed before Kyouji spoke up.

''Even with me, If I go back to that place after all I've done...that's death Kazuto or something so much like it I won't be able to tell the difference'' he sighed ''I'm sorry Kazuto but its impossible'' he finished, Kirito looked around the group to see them all with sad face's.

''Impossible?...Impossible?'' he asked ''Impossible is just a state of mind, me and Asuna fought in something that everyone else though was impossible...If we don't stop Sugou now before midnight then we will all are finished, The GLA and everything it stand's for...Look I know you all are scared...scared of dying but...If Sugou gets what he want's then dying will be a mercy compared to what he'll do to us all...So is it better to die free men then to live the rest of our lives as slaves?'' he asked, The group just stayed silent for a moment, no one spoke until Kirito sighed.

''So that it?'' he asked ''You all are just gonna hide away and wait?'' they said nothing, Kirito turned to Eiji ''Eiji, the reason you were not written in that book was because you refused to be seen, because you were scared of dying, there was nothing about you to be written in it, except for the fact the you lost Yuna...and think about Anaya...Is this the kind of life you want her to have?'' he asked, Eiji looked away as Kirito turned to Thomas.

''And Thomas, your ex SAS, you killed a terrorist leader as well as over a hundred other's and now you say you want out?...what about your son? Do you want him to be growing up in Sugou's world?'' he asked before Turning to Sejirou.

''Mr Kikuoka, I expected you to be on the same page with me, as head agent of the Japanese GLA cell and JDSF lieutenant I would have expected much more then this...After all I've done for you...you can't do this one thing with me?'' he asked, Seijirou looked down,

''Kyouji'' Kirito said turning to him ''We all have made mistake's in the past but we shouldn't beat ourselves up over those mistakes...This could have been an atonement for all those mistakes you made...To do one good deed to show that there's still a chance for you to change'' Kyouji looked away.

''No amount of water can wash away the blood of those GGO players from my hands'' he said bitterly.

''But this is about more then just a few players lives, It's about that fate of the world'' Kirito replied.

''If Yukito saw all of you acting like this, what would he say?'' he asked them.

''But Kazuto'' said Shigemura from behind him ''Even if you do manage to get into the ARGUS nexas, how are you going to be able to shut down the Cybercode? The cardinal system has a complex anti hacker and virus program, no man or woman will ever be able to bypass them''

Kirito thought long about this, who was he able to accomplish something like that, he was a bright man and good with computers but even then the cardinal system would still be too much, but then it hit him.

''Then what about an AI?'' Kirito asked smirking ''Asuna, do you still have to Probe?'' he asked her.

''Oh yes Kirito'' Asuna replied pulling it out of her pocket ''I managed to pick it up before we left the manor'' she added before Kirito turned on the camrea.

''Yui? Yui are you there?'' he asked the probe ''Yes daddy! Where have you been? Where are we?'' she replied making Shigemura gasp.

''What is that?'' he asked fascinated with the probe.

''This is Yui Dr Shigemura'' Kirito explained ''An AI programmed with the cardinal system but she's different, she has cognitive speech and thought, she helped me find Asuna back in ALFhiem and to stop you in Ordinal scale'' he revealed, Shigemura thought for a moment before he got an idea.

''Here, give me the probe, Let me try something'' he asked, Kirito gave him the probe.

''What are you doing mr Shigemura?'' asked Yui as Shigemura to a USB cord out and plugged the probe into a Computer.

''I have an Idea on how we can stop the cybercode'' Shigemura started as the other's listened ''Kazuto, you said that she was programmed with the Cardinal system right?'' he asked ''Well the numbers used to program SAO were Cardinal numbers but the system I used to create Ordinal scale were Ordinal numbers, So my theory is that the Ordinal numbers are designed to surpass the old Cardinal numbers by a considerable amount and Since Yui currently run's on those same old numbers, to use her to breach the nexus would be a bad Idea as the system would restrict her movements due to her programming's directive, she would be deleted at once'' he said.

''So what?'' Seijirou asked interested, Shigemura smiled as he typed away on his computer.

''So If I can copy her AI software and reprogram it with the new Ordinal numbers, Maybe...just maybe...I can create a newer and better version of Yui to act of that of a Trojan horse virus to passby the then obsolete Cardinal system allowing her to breach the network, find the Cybercode and delete it before It goes online, in short, I can Upgrade another Yui to hack into AUGUS's nexas and destroy the drive from within'' he explained, Kirito smiled.

''Your copying her and making the newer version better! I see'' he said.

''Right you are Kazuto'' Shigemura said as the computer bleeped ''Anti-Cybercode Virus successfully completed!'' Shigemura then took a USB port and downloaded the copy to it then gave it to Kirito.

''Now I have a plan'' he said turning to the group ''Now I need to go, Asuna you stay here Until I come back, If Japan want's a hero, I'll give them one'' he said turning around expecting to go alone until-

''Wait!'' Eiji said, Kirito turned around to see Eiji standing up from his chair ''I'm going with you, Your right Kirito, I was a coward back in SAO and I was isolated for it, treated like I didn't exist, If I were to stand aside and watch the world got to shit then nothing will change, time for me to finally be put down in a book for once, for something'' he said walking up to him and standing by his side. Thomas stood up.

''Make that three'' he said ''Your right Kirito, If Sugou uploads the drive then my son's life will be made a living hell on earth, I'll die before he live's that life... We may not come back alive but like what they say in the SAS...'Who dare's wins'' he said joining the group.

''Okay, then let's go'' Kirito said before-

''Wait'' Seijirou got up ''Your right Kazuto, You've done so much of the Japanese government and me and I've done so little in return, Time for me to make up for that, I'm going too'' he said, eyes full of determination, Kyouji smiled.

''Me too!'' he said running up to Kazuto ''I'm sorry, for everything, the death gun indecent, the Killing, the torturing...I don't know why I did all of it'' he said getting more emotional ''Was it to please my big brother So I could stay in that so called family? True, the blood of Asuna and the child no longer stain thier hands, Sugou is no less a monster and everything my bother has done to me is under his influence! I want to prove that I can do something good for once, To atone for my sins, If I'm going to die: I want to take as many of those fucking pigs down with me as I can!'' he finished.

''Then I guess we'll have to make it a team of five, Shigemura, we need new equipment for out team!'' Goldking said ''If I were sixty years younger I would have gone myself'' he added as Shigemura lead the team to the quartermaster's room while Asuna stayed with Goldking.

''Good luck Kirito'' Asuna prayed for him in her mind.

''Now gentlemen'' Shigemura started ''I believe Kirito need's his equipment back'' he handed back Kirito the pen,comb and his Glock 18 ''Now for the other's'' he said before placing a large tray of guns in front of them ''Take your pick'' he smiled as the agents looked along the arsenal of weapons.

Kirito picked up a SCAR rifle ''The SCAR, a Belgium assault rifle, NATO rounds, 32 shot capacity, Holographic red dot sight and fore-grip'' Shigemura commented.

Eiji picked up a KRISS Vector ''The Vector submachine gun ,U.S custom made, 4.5 . rounds, 32 capacity with red dot vision and faster fire rate''

Thomas kept his AR-15

Seijirou took a Steyr AUG ''A Steyr AUG, an Austrian classic, Nato rounds, 32 shot capacity with a tracker sight and foregrip''

Kyouji looked around for shotgun but could not find any ''Oh don't worry mr Shinkawa, I've got something special for you'' Shigemura assured before pulling up from behind the table-

''The AA-12'' he said slamming it down in front of Kyouji who stared it it in shock ''Fully automatic shotgun, 3000 round drum magazine and fire's 12 gauge slug shot rounds, you know a single shot from this could blow an elephants head clean off'' Shigemura said as Kyouji picked it up.

''I'ts kind of heavy, But I'll be fine with this'' he assured them as Shigemura handed them the vest's ''Made with the same mixed fabric and metal alloy as the suits and coats boys, also as a precaution, I suggest using these silencers with your weapons, If Sugou know's your there he might started the download immediately before you have a chance to plug Yui's kill code in the nexas, Good luck you five'' he sautes them as he gave the silencers to the team.

''Six'' said a voice from behind them they turned around to see none other then Yukito Nurasaka himself.

''Dad!'' Kirito yelled as he crashed into him for a hug.

''Thomas called saying you were alive'' Yukito said ''I had to be sure''

7pm

After a while of changing clothes and planning, the team of five agents and one ex holy empire member made their way across an airfield to a stealth plane to take them to Pingowy Island, they all wore the same black PMC outfit except Thomas wore a black beret, Eiji wore a black backward baseball cap, Seijirou wore a Spec ops helmet and glasse's, Kyouji wore his signature black skullcap and Yukito wore his ghost mask over his mouth carrying his Berret M82, as this mission was a stealth approach, Kyouji reluctantly agreed to only use the AA-12 as a last resort, so he had a silenced P90 to use.

The group climbed into the cabin bay of the plane and took their seat's before the door closed up.

''Ready?'' asked Seijirou.

''Ready!'' yelled the others.

''take her away boys!'' Seijirou yelled to the two JDSF pilots flying the plane, the plane slowly drove to the runway and took off.

''I'm coming for you Sugou, ready or not'' thought Kirito as the plane took off into sky.

That's it for chapter 29 everyone, an epic fight is coming, will they stop Sugou and save the world? find out next time in chapter 30! Cheerio!xxxooo
