Kirito, Alice and Eiji walked outside from the airport with their bags. London was so cloudy and it was raining a bit. Kirito looked around the place he was at. "So this is London" he said as he got Alice grabbed her phone to see where's the hotel Patrick was. She got into her Google map, found his location. "Alright, I found Patricks location. We should move on now!" Alice said before putting her phone back into her pants pocket. Kirito walked to a taxi line next top the airport. There a man with black eyes and brown hairs, casual clothes was standing next to the car, waited for a customer. Kirito and others walked to him. "Hello sir!" Kirito said as the man looked at him. "Hello to you as well friend. How can I help you?" The man asked in his own british language. "We want you to take us to the Big Life hotel? How much it will be?" Kirito asked as Eiji and Alice was standing behind Kirito, looking at the man who threw his cigar away. "In pound it'll be 2,20 but in Euro it will be 5!" The driver said as Kirito paid him. The man smile as he opened his car trunk door for them. "Alright, put your all bags in here before get inside." The driver said in smile as Alice and Eiji put all their bags in the trunk of the car. "Kirito you sure you can fight? I mean you know you can fight in SAO or in the Underworld but, what about in real life?" Eiji asked before getting in the car.
"I've been in army for 2 years after Sachi's first birthday, and I have good aim to shoot, so yeah, I'm sure I can fight." He said as he sat front next to the taxi driver, Eiji and Alice sat behind, closed the cars door as the taxi driver started to drive to the hotel. On their way, Kirito was watching the town and roads. London is so beautiful. He could see the clock tower as they passed Londons big bridge. Kirito could see some people did some cosplay, acting like anime characters as people were watching them, enjoting. Kirito smiled. The driver saw Kirito's face one more time as he got a question in his mind. "Are you Kazuto Kirigaya? The gaming developer?" The driver asked as Kirito looked at him. "Yes, I'm Kazuto." He said as the driver smiled. "My son Jacob is a gamer. He always talk about you, you just made his favorite game become an amazing game for him, made his 14th birthday." The driver said as Kirito smiled. "I'm glad I made him happy sir, it's an honor" Kirito said as Alice and Eiji smiled at him for how talented he is.
after 20 minutes, they finally reached to the hotel as they walked out from the taxi car and grabbed their bags. "Thank you sir for the ride." Kirito said in smile as the driver smiled back at him. "No problem sir, have a nice day." He said after they picked up their bags, and the driver drive away. They looked at the hotel as they were walking to it. "So Kirito, you didn't tell me that you've a child." Kirito said in smile as Kirito turned to her. "Ohh sorry Alice, since me and Asuna got married we totally forgot each others till now." Kirito said to her. "Yeah, her name is Sachi, she's now 5 years old." He said as Eiji turned around. "You decided to call your daughter because a girl with the same name was your friend once?" eiji asked as Kirito looked at him. "No no not at all, Asuna loved this name actually." He said as Eiji understood him. either Alice. "I see, good for you that you've a happy family bro, I actually can't to anyone since I lost Yuna for the 2nd time, and forever." Eiji said as they stopped next to the hotels gate, listening to Eiji while looking at him.
"In this 2 years, my life passed by loneliness and cry, I promised myself to study and become an FBI agent, not a loser boy who's always on his knees. I promised Yuna that I will fight and keep going to matter what happens. The reason I joined is because protecting people, keep them safe, this was her wish, and myself as well." Eiji said as Kirito smiled. "You're doing great Eiji, the first time I met you I thought that you were a selfish asshole who wanted to show that he's the best, but now I see that I was thinking wrong about you." Kirito said " uuh, boys let's get into the hotel, we're running out of time." Alice said between them while looking at them as Kirito and Eiji looked at the gate door, walked inside with Alice. Inside of the hotel there was a big cafe, pool and a big luxury restaurant on the left side, right side there was stairs to lead them to the rooms and floors. Kirito walked to the woman who was checking hotels computer as she looked up at him. "Ohh hello sir, welcome to the Big Life's hotel! How may i help you? she asked as Kirito smiled at her. "Hello miss, We're looking for a man named Patrick Wattson. We're his friends, I'm Kazuto Kirigaya and this is Alice Zuberg and Eiji Nochizawa." Kirito introduced his friend as the woman recognized them. "Ohh yes! Mr Wattson told me that you were invited. He's at 3rd floor, room 355!" The woman said as Kirito gratefuled to her.
They got inside the elevator and pushed the third floor button as the elevators door closed and took them to the 3rd floor. The door opened, Kirito and his friend walked out, searched for the room 355 as they found it. "Here we are" Eiji said as he knocked on the door three times with his right hand. "Who's this?" A voice came out from behind of the door, inside the room. "It's me Patrick! Open the door!" Eiji said as Patrick opened the door. It was a man with dark hairs, dark brown eyes, muscline and a bit tall. He smiled for seeing Kirito and Alice. "Ohh you must be Kazuto! And Alice! Please come in!" he invited them inside as they walked in. "Thank you sir" Kirito said in smile as Patrick closed the door behind their back. "It's really a pleasure and an honor to meet you sir! My name is Patrick Wattson! I'm a reporter." he said as they shacked hands as Alice put her bag on the ground, same as Eiji. "It's nice to meet you sir! It's really good to meet you as well." Kirito said in smile as Patrick smiled more. "I'm really grateful about this! Legendary Kirito! Black swordsman who saved one hundred thousands player from the death game! Seijirou told me a lot about you" Patrick said as Kirito was still smiling. Patrick turned around and walked to Eiji. "Look who's here too! My dear old friend! What a surprise!" Patrick said in passion as he and Eiji hugged each others. "It's been a long time we didn't meet Pat!" Eiji said as Kirito got a question.
"You know him?" Kirito asked as Eiji smiled. "Yupp, he was my collages classmate!" He answered Kirito's question as he understood. Alice grabbed her laptop and put's in on the table, opened it, walked back to Patrick. "It's really good to meet you Mr Wattson." she said as Patrick smiled. "Same miss Zuberg, and all of you together!" He said as they all smiled. Patrick then looked at Alice's laptop and sat on the chair, checking on laptop. "Alright, now let's get back to the work!" he said as they stood next to him. "Thank you Alice for bringing the laptop because I really need it. Did Kikouka put the file in this?" He asked as Alice opened the file for him. "Yes he did." She said as Patrick got back to work. "Alright, tonight at 11:35 pm, we're going to get inside an apartment owned by one of the 'B-B' members named Saeed! Saeed Rasouli! He's the only Iranian soldier who works with this group! He knows the exacly where's the location of the swords cave!" Patrick said. "Iranian? How's an Iranian person joined a group made by American people?" Kirito asked while he was confused, in the order, Kirito had to ban Iran country from SAO servers for boycott!
"Well Saeed is the strongest. He's in his apartment, at the east of the Londom, 34th street number 55 at top floor. Saeed leaded an Iranian terrorist group and they killed around 200 people in his own country and stole their money and informations. He lives in America and London with a fake name called 'Steve'. He's not that smart, but he knows where's the cave. So tonight we're rushing in very sneaky! Eiji, once we got to the apartment..." He gave Eiji a lock pick as he took it. "You'll open the door. Alice you still stay at the 2nd floor and make sure no one's watching!" He told her as she nods. "You got it sir!" She said. "And Kirito! you, Eiji and me will break the door and we will get Saeed! Alright?" Patrck said as Kirito heard that. "Roger that!" Kirito said.
Kirito was so scared because it was his first time doing such think in real life! He knows that he's strong but he wasn't ready for this. He doesn't want to do this but he has no choice. he accepted the mission once more.
It passed moments, Kirito, Eiji, Alice and Patrick got to the east of London, near to Saeed's apartment, at a cafe, drinking coffee and laughting. Kirito talked about his life and moments in SAO with Asuna to Patrick as he explained to Kirito that he lost his pregnant wife by a car accident, Kirito was so sorry for hearing this as they drank and played chess until the time
11:30 PM
They got out from the cafe as they started to walk to the apartment. "So Kirito, first time?" Patrick asked. "Yeah, Kinda scared." Kirito said as he smiled. "Nothing will happen. Don't worry man, he's all unarmed. We only are going to talk to him and arrest him." Patrick said as they finally reached to the apartment. "Eiji!" Patrick whispered as Eiji ran to the door and put the lock pick inside the locker hole. Alice was looking around to make sure no one's watching them as they all wore their bullet proves behind their clothes on their bodies. Eiji finally unlocked the door as they got inside the apartment very sneaky. Alice closed the door very slowly to don't make noices as they start to walk up on the stairs slowly. "He's at 5th floor, on top. Alice, stay in 2nd floor" Eiji whispered when they reached to the second floor. Alice grabbed her shotgun and louded, standing and secure the 2nd and 1st floor. Kirito, Eiji and Patrick finally reached to the 5th floor as they could hear Saeed talking in Persian language. He was saying "man emshab kar daram nemitoonam! nemitoonam oskol!" He was yelling in his own language
"Kirito, kick the door now!" Patrick whispered as Kirito kicked the door and broke it! Saeed turned around and saw three men got inside, aimed their guns at them. "HANDS IN THE AIR! NOW!" Patrick yelled at Saeed as he held his hands on the air, still holding his phone. "Saeed Rasouli!" patrick said as Saeed smirked. "huh! Look who is here! Patrick the Londons reporter! It's good to meet you!" Saeed said as his phone was still on the phone and his army heard him got surrounded.. "Stay where you are Saeed!Drop the damn phone!" Patrick yelled in anger as Saeed didn't even get scared. Eiji took the phone from his hand and hung it up. "They heard us!" Eiji warned them. "They will be here next 5 minutes!" Saeed said in smirk. "So we have five minutes! Tell us where's the cave!" Kirito yelled seriously.
"You work for Simon, and from all of his members, you're the only one who knows where's the swords cave! Tell us where is it!" Eiji said seriously while Kirito was still aiming his Five-seVen pistol at him. Saeed laughed. "I know you're gonna kill me anyways, so I won't tell you!" Patrick got mad and puched his face again, making his nose bleedout. "Tell us now you son of a bitch! Or we will make you suffer instead of death!" Patrick yelled as Saeed looked at Kirito luckily. He got surprised. "Kazuto Kirigaya! Don't mind me if I call you the legendary Black Swordsman?!" Saeed said in smirk as Kirito got shock, widen his eyes. "H-how did you-" Kirito was about to ask as Saeed laughed at him. "You made Simon get's angry, six years ago." He said while Kirito listening, confused. "Simon said that you put his Japanese cousin in the jail for ten years while he was trying to become a god, Someone who was like a teacher to Simon and I think his name was... Sugou!" Saeed finished as Kirito got all scared, his eyes were widen, breathing in stress. Eiji turned around and saw Kirito. "Kirito, you ok?" He asked.
Kirito's head got all sweatie. He thought about six years ago, after he finished the game. He found Asuna in a hospital, he visited her, but she still was in the game and alive. He met a man named Sugou Nobuyuki, who was smelling Asuna's hairs infront of Kirito and he was touching her as Kirito got mad and stopped him. Sugou was the new gaming develpoer of the game called Alfiem Online. Sugou told Kirito "Asuna will wake up next weak and she will marry me in this hospital! So please, don't bother her anymore!" He warned Kirito and made him sad. Kirito had an American black friend named Agil, owns a cafe at Tokyo, sent him a screenshot of ALO, a place called TreeLand. Asuna was locked in the cage! Kirito got in there with the help of his sister named Suguha Kirigaya got in the game as she helped him to get to the treeland. he found Asuna but Sugou who was playing as Lord Oberon in the game knocked Kirito down and chained Asunas hand while using gravity power to keep Kirito stock on the ground. He was watching Sugou ripped off Asunas clothes infront of Kirito who was crying. "SUGOU! You bastard! YOU BASTAAAAAAAAAARD! I'LL KILL YOU! YOU HEAR ME! I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" Kirito yelled in anger while Sugou was Licking Asuna's face and tears, laughing at hopeless Kirito.
Suddenly he saw Kayaba's soul who reminded him his own account. Kirito used it and became to the God and finished Sugou with 100% pain. he saved Asuna and brought her back in real world! Kirito was running to the hospital to see her but Sugou stabbed him with a knife. His left eye was bleeding for what Kirito did in the game. Kirito grabbed her knife from his, he wanted to kill Sugou as he smashed his face to a car, held the knife on his throat! He wanted to kill him, his mind filled up by rage for what he did to Asuna, but he didn't because he didn't want to go for jail for him, so he just gave him to the Police while Sugou was so scared of him. he finally met Asuna that night, for the first time, in real world!
Kirito stopped thinking about the past, got all angry and rushed to Saeed, grabed his neck and punched his face! "WHERE THE FUCK IS THE CAVE?!" He yelled i anger while punching Saeed very hard. "Kirito!" Patrick yelled, he wanted to stop Kirito from hurting Saeed but Eiji stopped him, looking at Patrick. "He knows what he does" Eiji said as Saeed backed off. Kirito threw Saeed on the table, made his face bleed a lot as he spit out blood. Kirito ran to him and pointed his gun on his face. "i'm a dangerous motherfucker who's punching you now! Tell me where's the cave! NOW!" Kirito yelled in anger as Saeed was coughing hard. He also got scared of Kirito for his punches and yells. "Fine! Fine! I'll tell you! Fuck you I'll talk! It's... It's in the south! Outside of London. There's a mountain, a hug mountain! Simon is digging there! I swear I'm telling the truth! He will reach to the sword tomorrow by planting 97 TNTs! STOP! PLEASE!" Saeed begged him and scared of Kirito while he was looking at him in anger. Eiji ran to Kirito and pulled him back. "Kirito what the hell?" He asked in shock as Kirito got calm. "I'll explain my rage later!" Kirito said before walls explode! From outside, Saeed's army used a rocket luncher to break down apartments kitchens walls. Kirito and Eiji looked outside! "SHIT! TERRORISTS!" Eiji yelled as he grabbed Saeeds neck again. "You brought them!And you will die" Eiji yelled while Saeed was still scared because of Kirito. "Y-yes I did you fucker!" You all will going to die as well!" He yelled as Eiji got mad, shot his head with his MP5. The terrorist group started to shoot at them from front buldings as Alice was shooting at few enemies who were running up on the stairs, by Alice's shots, they were falling down.
People in the apartment got scared for the sounds as they were screaming, running out! "Everyone! Follow me! Now!" Alice yelled as the poeple inside the apartment were following Alice to down the stairs, Alice was keep shooting at the enemies with her shotgun while Kirito, Eiji and Patrick were shooting at them inside the 5th floor. Terrorists were using AK-47 and Galil gun, but they didn't have Kirito's sharp eyes. he was only using a pistol and he was shooting on the enemies head who were standing on the front building. "Nice shot!" Patrick yelled while he was keep shooting! They looked down as they saw there was another was who was holding RPG! They widen their eyes, running down the stairs. "SHIT! SHIT! SHIT! SHIT!" Eiji was yelling as the terrorist member shot the rocket. made the whole 5th floor turn into dust, and the apartment was falling! "RUN!" Patrick yelled as they ran so fast on the stairs. Behind their back, so many breaks were falling and irons. right at the time apartment was about to fall down, they finally ran outside! Terrorists were keep shooting at them as they got inside the alley were Alice was with the people. She told those people to hide in alleys and get to the police station! as they start running away.
"You guys OK?" She asked while Eiji was shooting whem he picks. "Yeah we're fine! How the hell we shuld get out of here?!" Kirito said before shoots a terrorist behind Alice's back with his pistol. She turned around and saw the dead body. "Let's find a car!" Eiji yelled as they started running to the end of the alley. They got into the main street but the terrorist group were shooting at them from the other side of the street. They took cover behind a van. Kirito saw the guy with his Rocket luncher again! He picked her fast and luckily, he shot at him! The bullet directly got inside the terrorists RPG and made it explodes in the soldiers hand and kills his members around him. "WOAH KIRITO! NICE SHOT!" Alice yelled as Kirito was in shock as well! "I swear I shot by an accident and it was luck!" Kirito said as Eiji opened the vans door with the lock pick. "GET IN FAST!" he yelled as they all got inside. Eiji saw 5 terrorists running at the from the alley they were at and shooting at them! Eiji was almost closed the Vans door untill...
"UUUUGH!" He got shot on his right shoulder. "EIJI!" Kirito yelled in stress as Alice locked the vans door. "KIRITO TURN THIS DAMN THING!" She yelled while she and Patrick shooting at the enemies from the cars windows, covering Kirito. Kirito looked at the car keys hole. "Shit! I can't without the key!" He yelled while Eiji was breathing in pain, put his hand on his shoulder to stop bleeding. "Get under the steering wheel and cut off the red and blue lines, make them spark by making them touch each others! It'll turn the car! DO IT FAST!" Eiji said in pain as Kirito got under the steering wheels, found the lines. He grabbed the blue and red lines and making them get closer to spark. They sparked as the car turned on. "Just like movies!" Kirito said as he started to drive fast while the enemies were still shooting at them!
Alice and Patrick got inside the van and closed the windows. Taking a deep breath as Patrick was checking on Eiji. "You Okay?" he asked Eiji who was breathing in pain, holding his shoulder to stop bleeding. "Yeah I'm fine. Just keep driving!" he said as Kirito started to drive faster. he looked at the cars left mirror and saw two terrorists members were chasing them with bikes. "great! We've more guests!" Kirito said as he was driving as fast as he could was the terrorist group were shooting at the van while riding. Alice pulled out her head out of the window again and start shooting at them with her shotgun. She also got shot in her neck, but didn't bleed because she's inside a robotic body! it just made a hole in her neck skin as she shot the first members bike wheels, he fell down and got under the 2nd one's wheels, made him also fall down with his head and dies. "DOUBLE KILL!" Alice yelled in anger as she got back inside while Kirito was still driving. "Hang in there Eiji! I'm taking you to hospital!" Kirito said while driving faster. he couldn't believe it. Simon is Sugous American cousin! Kirito was now sure that he was in danger, and Asuna! Sachi! They were in a big danger! He should had to tell Asuna the truth about the mission... He should return home, to tell her the truth, for now on... She was in danger, because of Sugou!
