A/N: Hello SAO fans. It's finally time for what you've all been waiting for. The long awaited Wyvern's Inferno version of Ordinal Scale is finally here. I won't be changing many of the major plot points that happen in the movie, but I will be adding some of my own. I hope you all enjoy it as much as the movie, but as someone who saw it and thoroughly enjoyed it I highly doubt that will be possible.

One more thing, for those of you that haven't seen Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale yet, I recommend waiting until you have before reading this. Otherwise, there will be some massive spoilers and there may be some things you get confused about.


Ordinal Scale: Chapter 1


"Hello everyone and welcome to MMO Stream." the cat-lady announcer said. "Today we'll be talking about the latest device that's sweeping across Japan, the Augma."

The other announcer nodded her head. "Yes, this wearable device has brought several advancements to Augmented Reality. Unlike VR, players actually move their bodies in AR. Many people using it have found many ways to exercise through the functions of the Augma."

"That's not all. The Augma can be used for online shopping and many other things. But the feature of the Augma we'll be focussing on today is its most popular game, Ordinal Scale. This game has several monsters that players can fight against and slowly try to improve their rank. A high ranking doesn't only mean stat bonuses though. You can also reap the rewards of special discounts and free meals at certain eateries."

"This is the next generation of tech, people. Try out Ordinal Scale today."


"Clair, you ready yet?"

"Just a sec." Clair called down.

Dan sighed as he tapped his foot while waiting for his sister. As he waited, he looked through some of the features on the Augma he was wearing. It felt weird that all of the students at the SAO Survivor School had gotten one for free, but he wasn't complaining. Clair had just gotten hers a few days ago, very desperate to enjoy the experiences of AR with her friends.

His mother was also wearing one, as she found it very useful for shopping and other things. "When should you and Clair be home by?"

"Not sure." Dan said. "We're going to a boss raid in Ordinal Scale tonight, and the location for those don't get announced until the last minute."

"Alright then. When you find out the time and place, text me and I'll come pick you up once you're done."

Dan rolled his eyes. "Mom, I'm not a little kid anymore. I can walk myself and Clair home."

"Not that late. I want to be sure you and your sister are safe, so I'm driving you home."

"What's the worst that could happen?"

"Do I need to remind you what happened last month when you were walking home alone at night?"

Dan felt a nervous sweat go down his back, realizing she was referring to the incident with Yamato and Sugou. He knew she had every right to be worried about him after what had happened back then. "Alright, point taken. I'll be sure to tell you when the raid is happening and where it is."

Juna smiled at her son. "At least you're getting some exercise with this. Better than you laying around all day with that VR device on your head."

"Mom, I get plenty of exercise."

"Can't ever get too much." Clair commented as she walked into the kitchen. "Don't want you getting out of shape. What would your girlfriend say?"

Dan rolled his eyes. "Just try and keep up with your big bro out there. Don't want you getting left behind with your short legs."

Clair gave her brother a pout. "Let's just go."


"Hey, I'm headed on out to meet up with the guys today!" Hyde yelled as he ran down the stairs of his home, his Augma resting on the left side of his face.

Nohime looked up from her tablet and raised her eyebrow at her youngest son. "Honestly Hyde, what is with you suddenly being so proactive? Ever since your class passed around these Augmas you've been just so wrapped up in it. I think it's more of an addiction than the AL-whatever game you play."

Hyde looked to his resting mother and rolled his eyes. He'd maybe take this concern more seriously if it wasn't for the fact she was wearing one to do online shopping while doing her work on the tablet. "Isn't it better than lazing around my bed unconscious all day? Thought you'd be more supportive of me going outside."

"I would if it wasn't just it play games Hyde. There's more to life than just the online world."

"Tell me when you'll cut the online shopping down and I'll do the same thing to follow." he snarked back while tying his shoes. "Until then, I got some friends to meet so see ya!"

Nohime made a move to go after him but just let her raised hand fall once Hyde rushed through the door. She gave a soft groan of frustration at his stubbornness. It had been a month since the two of them made up and while their relationship was much better than it was before. It still felt like she was walking on eggshells half of the time, too afraid not to cross the line and break the slowly forming trust between them. "I swear, what is it about this AR or VR world that Hyde loves so much."

"Well I'm just spitballing here but I think it might have to do with you with how your relationship used to be."

The mother of two turned around to see Shu coming from the kitchen, clearly having heard the entire conversation. "What do you mean Shu?"

"Well when you two had your falling out when he was a kid, Hyde trapped himself within video games to feel better about the fact that his mother hated him." Shu started, seeing his mother flinch slightly at the past being brought up. "So I think that may have translated into becoming so used to a virtual world where he could do or be whatever without being compared to me which is what tore him up so much back then."

"But now things are better for him, more so than they've ever been." Nohime countered. "So why is he still so obsessed with this virtual world?"

Shu shrugged. "I can't say anything for sure but I do have a suggestion. Tonight I'm gonna be hanging out with his friends to play Ordinal Scale since he invited me. Why don't you come around to see what he sees in what he loves? It could be good for the both of you."

Now this was quite a suggestion to consider. Nohime never really wanted anything to do with anything VR related since it almost took Hyde from her but even after such an event Hyde still used his Amu-sphere. Even going so far as to buy it under her nose so that the risk of the NerveGear wouldn't be over his head, quite literally so. The subject of what happened in SAO was always a touchy one for the Gekido family since Hyde was only willing to share his glorious moments and nothing more than that. Never once did she hear of him dealing with the fact that he had to deal with life or death situations. With him being in a world where everything wanted to kill him.

But in the end it wasn't a problem for Hyde in the slightest since he always would say that some of his most precious memories came from that game. Including the fateful meeting of his beloved fiance Lilina Yoake.

'Just as he can never understand why I love you, we can't understand why he loves Lilina. We weren't there in SAO so we could never know what happened in there.' Nohime felt the words from her husband come up unbidden. Seeing Hyde move around in AR would probably be the closest the woman would get to understanding why her son loved this world so much.

Shu smiled when he saw his mother put down her tablet and motioned for him to come near. "So tell me, where in the App Store can I find and download this 'Ordinal Scale' game? And what time is the event happening?"

The older son sent the details of the time the location of the event would be announced to her Augma so she could drive out there while pointing out where Ordinal Scale was for her to download. Hyde may have some negative reactions to him sneaking their mother along but it could wind up for the best. Anything to help their relationship be back to a proper mother and son dynamic.


"Come on guys, we're almost there."

"We would have won by now if the squirt hadn't been slowing us down."

"Piss off jackass, you had way more close calls than I did."

"Almost there…" Ren said. "And…. got it." The AR field of Pacman lit up with a 'Winner' sign. Ren and the others all grinned at their victory. "We did it!"

"Still not as fast as us though." Rika teased from her booth with Asuna, Keiko, and Kazuto. "We finished three minutes ago. Guess it only makes sense with a dummy like Hyde slowing you down."

Hyde scoffed at Rika's insult. "As if a plain manish girl like you could understand strategy like mine."

Rika glared at the ash haired teen. "You little…"

"Alright you two, no fighting." Asuna said. "We're in a public place."

"Here's your free dessert." the waitress said, bringing them over to Dan and the others. Everyone quickly laid claim to a dish and began eating.

"This is great." Clair grinned as she ate. "Free desserts are always a plus in my book."

"You know, I heard the Augma can also tell you how many calories certain foods have." Kazuto commented.

Almost immediately, a sense of dread overtook Rika as she noticed a warning label appeared over her food from her Augma. Hyde instantly took notice and shot a teasing grin at her. "Don't worry. It's not like you have any womanly figure to try and hold up. You can eat at your leisure."

"Shut up!" Rika growled as she got up from the booth and stormed off.

"Rika, wait!" Keiko called out, running after her friend.

Asuna sighed as she and Kazuto got up from their seats as well. "Looks like we better go. We'll see you guys later."

The group of Wyvern's Inferno all waved goodbye to the couple as the two went after their friends. Once they were finished eating, Dan and the others all got up and left as well.

As they walked through the mall, people wearing the Augma seemed commonplace. The device had really begun to spread in popularity. Dan and the others may have only gotten them because they were handed out at school, but they were still using them just as often as anyone else.

"So what should we do while we wait for the location to be announced?" Hyde asked.

"Well we are in a mall." Lilina grinned. "That means only one thing."

Dan and Hyde looked at each other nervously. "You don't mean…"

"Shopping!" the girls all cheered in unison, which was immediately followed by a groan from Dan and Hyde.

Emi smirked at the two boys. "You tagged along with us, so now you've gotta pay the price. Us girls need a new wardrobe after all."

Hyde could barely stand having to tag along on a shopping trip, but he would not take Emi teasing him lying down. "If you ask me squirt, you're wasting you're time and money. A shrimp like you wouldn't look cute in the best clothes in the world." Before Emi could yell out a retort, Hyde quickly used his Augma and a long strip appeared with Emi on it. Lights and camera flashes were all around her, as were the eyes of the people looking at what was going on in curiosity.

"Come on squirt. Work it, work it." Helios teased. "We know you don't have anything to show off, but at least put in some effort."

"I am gonna get you back for this Hyde!" Emi growled as she glared at him. She stepped out of the long strip, not willing to take part in her friend's game. A few boos were heard from the onlookers, but she paid no mind to them.

Alicia sighed at Hyde's antics. "So as for the raid in Ordinal Scale tonight, do you think the rumors are true?"

Lilina looked at her friend curiously. "What rumors?"

"I heard that some of the old SAO bosses are showing up in it." Alicia explained. "But could it really be true?"

Dan thought to himself. "I suppose they could be doing it as a way to promote the game and get attention. But to go so far as to use SAO bosses?"

"Who cares? It just makes things easier for us." Hyde shrugged. "We've beaten them all before, so we'll know exactly how to fight them."

"That's true, I guess." Dan nodded. "But we should still be on guard anyway. Even if they look the same, attack patterns might be different."

"That's our brainy leader for you." Lilina said with a smile. "Always taking everything into account." She leaned in towards him with a grin. "While we're at it, think you can use that big brain of yours to guess how much higher our ranks will go up in Ordinal Scale from this boss fight?"

Dan shrugged his shoulders. "No clue. It all depends on how much each player contributes. But if your HP hits zero, your rank will shoot down."

"But if I do lots of damage, then my rank goes up." Lilina grinned. "And that means more free stuff for me."

Alicia let out a sigh. "Of course that's what's on your mind."

"Hey, can't expect me to change. If they're offering free stuff, then I'm grabbing it." Lilina said. "And speaking of stuff…" she turned to Dan and Hyde, seeing them begin to tiptoe away. "Oh boys~"

Dan and Hyde nervously turned their heads back to the girls, who were all giving them dangerous grins. "You didn't forget about our shopping trip, did you?" Alicia asked.

"O-Of course not." Hyde said.

"Good, then let's get going." Clair said as she and the girls began to walk towards one of the stores.


To Dan and Hyde's misfortune, the shopping trip for the girls lasted for the next few hours. During that time, the two guys endured the boredom of being dragged along from store to store throughout the mall. The only break they took throughout the entire time was to eat dinner.

But finally, relief came as the group of Wyvern's Inferno all got notifications on their Augmas about the location of the raid event. Once they had the time and location, Dan had made sure to text his mother to inform her as she had asked. Luckily, the location was nearby, so they were all able to get there after a quick ride on the trains.

Dan had managed to contact Kazuto and the others to make sure they would be coming. Unfortunately, only the duo of Kazuto and Asuna were able to come. Something about Asuna winning rock paper scissors, or something like that based on the reply they got.

"Man, did you have to invite my brother to come join in on this though?" Hyde asked Dan as they all walked. "Knowing him, he's gonna be on my case about my form and whatnot."

"Come on, Shu wouldn't do that." Dan said. "Besides, you have the edge on him when it comes to fighting. I doubt he'll be able to criticize you once he sees you in action."

"I don't know." Mai said. "I've seen him in action plenty of times and I've got several criticisms."

"Well nobody asked for your opinion, did they squirt?" Hyde countered.

Suddenly a new voice spoke up. "Is this how you treat all your friends, bro?"

Hyde nearly jumped out of his skin when he heard Shu's voice and noticed him walking at their side. "Dude, when did you get here?!"

"Just now." Shu replied. "Luckily I found a parking spot a few blocks away from the location announced. I saw you guys walking so I thought I'd join you."

"Hmph, just remember you're the newbie here Shu." Hyde told him. "Make sure you follow my instructions so you don't get killed after the first minute."

"And by that, he means listen to Dan here." Alicia said. "He's our team leader, not Hyde."

"Really?" Shu asked with a raised brow. "Hyde, didn't you always say that you were the driving force behind your guild, Wyvern's Inferno was it?"

The group, minus Hyde at least, all looked at each other before breaking out into laughter. Hyde couldn't help but scowl at his friends. "Hey, who pulls the most DPS out of all of us? Oh that's right, me!"

"And who acts like a crazed lunatic that wouldn't get anywhere if Dan didn't lead him with his strategy?" Alicia asked. "Oh that's right, you."

"Regardless, Hyde's right about this being your first time Shu." Dan commented. "You should probably avoid doing anything on your own until you get the hang of it."

"What's your weapon choice anyway?" Lilina asked. "Hyde uses an axe, but that just doesn't seem to fit your style."

"I chose a rapier." Shu said. "It wasn't much, but I did do a bit of fencing when I was younger. I figured it would be the best choice for me, considering that."

"So you'll be fighting with speed and precision." Dan said. "I'll be sure to keep that in mind."

"Come to think of it, what should we do about names?" Emi asked. "Should we call each other by our real names, or our avatar names."

Lilina thought to herself. "Well we may not be in the virtual world, but we've always been as our avatars when we've fought monsters. It might feel weird to suddenly do the same with our real names. Let's just use our in-game names to make it feel easier."

"What about me?" Shu asked. "I've never played any VRMMOs before."

"We can just call you by your real name." Hyde shrugged.

Alicia pointed up ahead. "Look, there's the spot. And there's already a ton of people there."

True to Alicia's word, many people were all gathered at the spot the notification mentioned. As they walked up, Dan and the others caught sight of Kazuto and Asuna, as well as Klein's guild, Fuurinkazan.

"Yo, what's up guys?" Klein greeted with a wave. "You were able to make it too, huh?"

"As if we'd miss this." Emi grinned. "I can't wait to kick some ass."

"Is Shirou coming too?" Asuna asked.

Dan shook his head. "No, he lives too far away. Hopefully he'll be able to make the next one."

"So who's this?" Klein asked, looking at Shu. "Never this this guy before."

Shu walked up and held out his hand. "Hello, I'm Shu Gekido, Hyde's older brother. Nice to meet you."

Klein and the rest of Furinkazan blinked in surprise. Klein turned his head to Dan. "No seriously, who is this guy?"

"Believe it or not, he's telling the truth." Dan said. "The two of them are quite different, but Shu is Hyde's older brother."

"Hyde having a brother that's not a psycho. Who knew?"

"Piss off." Hyde glared.

Asuna checked the time on her phone. "It's almost time guys. We better get ready."

Everyone reached into their bags and put on their Augmas. They all got ready and logged into Ordinal Scale.

"Ordinal Scale, activate!"

All of a sudden, the world around them began to change. The color of the sky turned dark, and the scenery was changed with different designs, still sticking to the same basic structure of the real world. As the group looked around, a pillar of fire shot up in front of the gathered players. As the flames slowly died down, Ren saw the boss they were fighting. It was a large armored demon warrior with a long katana sword. It hissed at the players with a long snake-like tongue.

"Looks like the rumor was right." Alice said as she readied her scythe in her hands. "You remember this boss guys?"

"I don't." Dagger shook her head.

"That's cause you didn't join the front lines for a while." Ren said. "That's the boss of Floor 10."

"Kagachi the Samurai Lord." Helios said. "Man this guy was a pain in the ass back in SAO."

As Ren and the others looked at the boss, a new arrival manifested on the bridge behind it. It was a girl with long white hair and a mic in her hand.

"No way! It's Yunna!" one player exclaimed.

"I love you Yunna!" another player called out.

Yunna waved out to the crowd. "Hello everybody. Are you all ready?" The response she got was a loud cheer from the players. "Alright then. Music start!"

As she snapped her fingers, Yunna began singing. All of the players felt a green aura surround them briefly. If Ren remembered correctly, this increased the points everyone would earn at the end of the raid, provided they survived of course.

Emi stretched out her arms. "This is sure gonna bring back some memories. Well then, let's do this shall we?"

Ren nodded his head. "Alright guys, this may be the real world, but we've beaten this guy before. Let's do this!"

Everyone nodded in agreement and got ready to fight. "Right!"

A/N: Well all of you that have seen the movie know what's coming up. I'm hoping to make all of the fights as epic as they were in the movie so look forward to it. I'll try to update this when I can, but I don't have any set update schedule for this right now.
