Chapter 3: To London

"How are you doing buddy?" He asked in a friendly smile while Kirito was all confused, looking at him in a surpried anger. "Eiji? What the hell are you doing in here? Huh?" Kirito asked Eiji in anger as Eiji pulled up his hands, looking at Kirito in a friendly worried face. "Calm down Kirito! Please! I know you hate me bro just..." Eiji was talking innocently as Kirito got more angry. "Excuse me? Calm down?" Kirito yelled at Eiji in anger while Alice was watching them in widen eyes, same as Kikouka and Higa. "Calm down? How can I calm down for what you did to Asuna? You stole her memories, and other players with the help of Dr Shigemura! And you also tried to kill me back in Ordinal Scale! You were the asshole one and you still are!" Kirito yelled in anger as he remembered the past.

Ordinal Scale tournament, the moment when Eiji pushed Silica on the ground Against the drason boss as Asuna hugged and for protection. The dragon hitted Asuna and took all her health as her healthbar reached to zero. Kirito ran to her while she was crying. Kirito looked up an anger at Eiji who was smirking at them. Kirito stood up to argue at him but Eiji put the tip of his neck very face and said "Look at that, the greatest VR players, can't play good in AR" and he walked away.

back in 2024, Kirito saw Asuna couldn't remember anything about her moments in SAO, nothing! Kirito promised that he'll bring her memories back no matter what. Yuna told Kirito that he needs to reach to the 1st rank to bring Asunas memories back as he did. He faced Eiji and beat him down while Dr Shigemura was taking all players memories to bring his daughter Yuna back to life. Kirito and his friends faced SAO's 100th floor, which was the final boss of the game to reach Kirito's rank to 1th as he turned into the god of the game and saved everyone, and Yuna vanished away, Asuna's memovies returned, just like others and Dr Shigemura got arrested for what he did.

Now Kirito is staring at him in anger and CAN'T trust a person like him. Eiji took a deep breath of disaapointed and sadness, looking at Kirito very innocently. "Look Kazuto. I just did It to cure Yuna! And yes, I felt jealous and you and your wife because you two were the best players, I was the only one who was always knocked down and I'm sorry about that bro!" Eiji said while looking at him as Kirito got more angry. "I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING BRO! I can't forgive you for what you did to the innocent people to cure Yuna! You and Shigemura!" Kirito was yelling at innocent Eiji who was looking sad, he looks at him a little serious. "Dude I was doing something wrong! and I'm sorry please!" Eiji asked for his forgiveness but Kirito denied it. "I won't forgive you at all! I'm not going to be a partner of a bastard who stool around of 2.000 players memories for a girl!" Kirito said in anger as Eiji's sadness turned into anger. "Ohh yaeh? yeah I did that! Me and Shigemura but he also used me to bring back Yuma! I also lost my memories by him after our fight in the parking! Do you even know how does it feel to lose a person who you love?" Eiji asked a bit serious as Kirito was about to answer, but Kikouka stood up from his chair, with a serious face. "Enough you two!" he yelled at Kirito as he got silent, looking at Seijirou with others.

"If you want to keep arguing about past for like maybe 7 years ago, keep it for later. Focus on the mission now! You guys are the only people who we can trust. The reason I choosed you it's because no soldier are not smarter than you all! and no one didn't accept the mission to save the world!" Seijirou finished as Kirito and Eiji sat on their sit. Kirito took a deep breath and Folded his arms. "Fine, let's create this squad and get back to the work!" he told as everyone smiled at him, except Eiji who was looking a bit sad. "Good!" Seijirou said as a soldier brought them a table of guns, Kirito, Eiji and Alice got shock by seeing some weapons on that table including Pistols, SMGs and Shotguns. "So here's what you guys gonna do! Arm yourselfs, get into a plane that I bought for you guys and get to London, The luxury hotel called 'BigLife' hotel. He's there." Seijirou finished as Kirito and others got surpried and excited. "Ohh yeah! let's kick their ass!" Alice said in passion as she grabbed a Shotgun 'xm104' model. Eiji grabbed a SMG 'MP5', Kirito grabbed a pistol 'Five-seVen' model. He was looking at the pistol that it was so real, more than Virtual Reality games. He was kinda scared for seeing it, but he had too. "Alright, armed!" Alice said as she grabbed a bag of ammos. "Ammunition, ckeck!" Eiji said as he grabbed it from Alice and puts it on his back.

"Everyone armed?" Higa asked as they all nodded to him. Higa smiled. "Good! now, follow me, I'll take you to the plane!" He said and lead them outside of the secret area. Kirito,Alice and Eiji saw a big VIP jet was ready for them. Kirito was looking at it confusely. "VIP Jet? really?" Kirito asked as Serijirou smiled. Walked toward to them. "Yupp, this is for more safety. Because for now on, you work for FBI!" Seijirou said in smile as Kirito got shock, widen his eyes. "Hold on! I said I will help you to finish the mission! Not joining the FBI!" Kirito yelled. "Yeah I know, you're an FBI member until the mission ends. Now go! The fate of the world is in your hands!" Seijirou said as Kirito and others walked inside the plane, inside of the plane was beautiful and the chairs were made by a good leather. There were four chairs. Kirito took a sit on behind left side as Eiji was right side, Alice was front, left. The planes motors were started as Kirito could hear the sound of fans. "Hello this is your captain! We're about to move the wings and fly up from the ground! Please buckle your sit belts and do not leave your sit until the plane stay straight on the air!" The speakers said as they all buckled their belts, watching outside from behind of the window. The plane started to go forward slow. After second it got faster, faster, very fast until the planes wheels were leaving the ground and wings were helping the plane to go up. The plane left the ground and flew away, leaving California. Kirito was watching outside, in a worried face. "Goodbye Asuna, Goodbye Sachi. I promise I will come back alive, I promise." Kirito said in his mind.

Moments passed as the plane stood straight on the air and it was flying to London. Alice was behind her Laptop, checking out the air situation in London. Kirito was still watching outside from the window. Suddenly he remembered what Eiji said earlier to him as he turned his face to Eiji who was playing on his phone. "Hey... about the question you asked..." Kirito started while Eiji was listening while playing Flappy Bird game, keep losing. "I know how does it feel to lose a person who you love... I know..." Kirito said in his normal voice as Eiji turned off his phone, looking at Kirito. "Do you know how much it hurts?" Eiji asked. "Do you know how hard it is? Do you know how does it feel after all things you did for her to keep her safe? Do you know?" Eiji asked while tears filling up his eyes. "YES! I was the bad guy! I tried to kill you and Asuna to prove myself! But all those things I did was for Yuna! She's also dead by some BOT Players in GGO, 2 years ago! Her soul is totally destroyed!" He started to cry while Kirito could feel his face, same as Alice. Kirito wanted to bring Yuna back for him but he can't because her soul added as an NPC character and he can't do anything about it. "I'm so sorry for hearing this dude..."

Kirito said while Eiji was still crying. "I would rather to become a murderer but bring her back! But I couldn't! It hurts!" Eiji yelled as Kirito put his right hand on his shoulder, looking in his innocent eyes. "I know, I also lost too many people I loved. Back in SAO, Sachi! She was a player that I was her group member. She sacrified herself to save me from the highest leveled NPC enemies. I couldn't forgive myself for what happened." Kirito said while Eiji was listening and looking in his eyes, Alice was listening as well. "In the underworld, I lost another who was like my brother, Eugeo. He was like my brother, I would rather die but keep him safe, but he also died to help me stay strong, and I was blaming myself for his sacrifice, for a long time in the underworld. They lost their lifes to keep us safe, make us get stronger, and always protect other people who you love and they love you! And we should take the responsibility and never let them to feel their sacrifice was worthless! Okay, bro?" Kirito said in smile as Eiji got a bit calm. Alice stood up and walked to them.

"I also lost my uncle in the underworld, Bercouli. He was like my father, more than a father and a master. He also sacrificed himself for me to keep me away from the dark lord. For that, I almost gave up, but I learned that I should stay strong and protect everyone with all cost! So Eiji, Never give up! You lost Yuna, so it doesn't mean that you should become a murderer to bring her back! You should stay strong, and take the responsibility, because it taught you well." Alice finished in smile, Eiji smiled back to them. "Thank you, all of you!" He said in smile and wipped his tears with his hand, smiling at them. "Thank you for understanding. I promise, I will take responsibility of this, for her sake and for everyone. I promise!" Eiji said as Kirito and Alice smiled at him. "We're glad for hearing this dude, and Eiji, I forgive you, because all you did was for your love, you tried, but you failed, and now you learned a new lesson to be more careful." Kirito told in smile as they shack their hands, became friends. "Thank you Kirito." Eiji said in smile to him. Kirito sat on his sit watching outside behind the window again, watching the clouds. Kirito, Alice, Eiji were all filled by stress. They can't believe that they're going to fight in real life. after 5 hours, they finally reached to London as they were coming out from the plane with their bags and weapons
