The Dragonturtle has been found in Cyberspace. While they tried to claiming the Dragonturtle, A massive forces of the Mavericks and Arch Criminals have appeared to stop the advance against them. However, joining the most valuable warrior, They decided to advance to Hullez Cathedral, the one who brought the Aura's statue in that cathedral.
-Hullez Cathedral (Revision 1)-
During the advance, Tri-Edge was in there earlier floated near the statue of Aura, looking curiously at it.. He said nothing as his mind was else where at the time. Anyone could've guessed what questions were going through his mind. What was thinking, seeing the statue of Aura as he just floated in front of it. As he did, the Coalition Army soon walked right through the door.
Darren: Hey, everyone quite. Look.
Tri-edge still looking at Aura's statue.
Haseo: It's Tri-edge. But why is he interested in the statue? It doesn't really matter. I can finally get my revenge.
Me: Alright, it doesn't look like he's noticed us yet. Let's hit him while he's looking at Aura's Statue. Kiryu, snipe him.
Kiryu: Right.
Kiryu's getting his Anti-material rifle. He quickly aimed and pulled the trigger, sending the bullet right to Tri-edge's head but Tri-edge was quick as he knocked the bullet away.
Asuna: So much for the element of surprise.
Tri-edge then rose it's arms as monsters appeared around it.
Kirito: He's a lot more skilled than we thought.
Ardee: Looks like he's ready to throw down. Let's give him a fight, guys. Charge!
The group ran straight at Tri-edge's forces before Tri-edge turned his head again. This time, Skeith appeared behind him.
Triborg: Skeith is here too?
Me: I didn't know he came back.
As soon as Skeith had appeared, so did familiar jellyfish like entities.
Haseo: AIDA!
Before they could take on both of them at once, Tri-edge teleported away.
Sol: Coward! Come back and fight!
Mick: Looks like Tri-edge must have finished whatever he came here to do.
Blackrose: Now we just have to beat Skeith and find some way to get him back into Haseo as an avatar.
But before any fighting could happen, robots appeared near the entrance along with a man with cyan hair in silver body armor and an eyepatch.
Me: Okay, he's new to me.
?: Heh heh, heh heh heh.
Harnett: Aaaand I can't already tell he's crazy... wait a minute... Guys, that's Hayato Kanzaki.
Hiryu: I already knew that.
Darren: Hayato?
Commander: Remember when we talked about the fourth empire? You're looking at the man who slayed it's leader.
Ardee: He took out Edward Bilstein, one of the top villains on the wanted list all on his own?
X: Sure did. Guys a skilled member of the Star Gladiators, another hero team from the future.
Zhao Sheng: Hold up, I don't think he's here to help. If he's with vectors... Hey, Hayato! What's going on? Why are you with fourth empire cronies?
Young Warrior is sensing him, he has his darkness.
Me: Hey! Stay away from him!
Young warrior using slashing blast to him, but he was blocking his attacks!
Me: What?
?: Hayato Kanzaki? Heh heh, that man no longer exists.
Darren: Wait, what?
?: Hold it!
Shouted a voice. Before them warped in a girl in pink with a weird hairdo.
?: You're still you, Hayato!
Star Gladiators
June Lin Milliam
Me: June Lin Milliam.
?: That woman... I never thought she'd make it this far.
Ardee: Is that... June Lin Milliam of the Star Gladiators?
June: Hayato! Remember who you are!
Darren: Who she is? Wait, is she saying Hayato's not himself?
June: No. He was investigating these weird black bubbles and he touched them. He's been acting different since.
Haseo: AIDA! He's been infected?
Suddenly he clutches his head.
?: Wh-what?! Argh, my head!
June: Hayato?!
Ardee: Whoa, it looks like something fighting whatever's controlling his body.
?: No! This is my own body now, Hayato! Get back down there. I am going to kill that girl so I, Black Hayato, can get full control.
Infected Gladiator
Black Hayato
Me: Black Hayato?
Fiora: It's almost like he's got two personalities.
Kos Mos: AIDA signature rising. I sense the current entities here are calling reinforcements.
Weird monsters appeared in the form of yetis and other weird creatures.
Vashyron: Hey! Monsters from Basel!
Tails: But why are they giving off the same signature?
Kite: I think it's obvious. Those monsters have been infected by AIDA too.
June: Will getting rid of the bubbles bring Hayato back?
Me: Yeah, but first we gotta knockout so that we can get the AIDA. That said, we'll help you out.
Black Hayato: Getting in my way, are you? Don't dog me anymore, or else I'll kill you!
Darren: Not happening, faker.
June then created a Plasma Ring in response to this.
June: Right, I swear I'll get Hayato back, even if it means risking my life!
(BGM: Star Gladiators 2 – Against the Absolute)
Haseo: You guys handle Hayato. Me and Kite are going after Skeith. I'm getting my avatar back no matter what.
Darren: Aty, back em up. June, stay with us and we'll dog pile Hayato's own army.
June: I wasn't planning to leave. I want him back just as badly.
Zhao Sheng: Alright, you're a Star Gladiator, right? Well, I guess it's showtime!
June: Right! So let's go you two!
Kaguya.N: Gymnastic and a Plasma Ring, your styles almost as unique as mine, June!
June: Thanks. If you want, I can give you guys a few lessons in gymnastics after this is over.
Zhao Sheng: I'm already good at sports. So I think I'll pass.
The two opened up a path straight through the Basel monsters and sliced through one of the AIDA's like butter. Hayato then compacted the two with his own blade as they cut and clashed all around the chapel. June then leapt into action.
June: Check this out!
June leapt into the battle attacking them with gymnastics as well as her plasma ring. She also looked more cheerful and having fun than before.
June: It is a delightful orb of darkness!
She then used her ring as she laid on some finishing attacks before swinging away from the battle. Zhao Sheng then knocked Hayato's sword away and punched him in the face, knocking him down.
June: Excellent work. If you two weren't heroes and a princess, I'd sign you up for the Star Gladiators.
Zhao Sheng: I'm more of a warrior than one to use Plasma weapons, really.
Kaguya.N: And I have responsibilities back home.
Black Hayato: Gah. Ahh!
Hayato screamed as he held on his head.
Beck: I think we got him. Snap out of it, now!
Beck doing the snap out thing before seeing Hayato knock the wave away.
Beck: What? He knocked away?
Black Hayato: What's happening... to my head? Gaaaah!
Hayato grabbed his sword and withdrawn the battlefield.
June: Hayato! Hang on, I'll...
Vashyron: Hold it, miss! We can't have a pretty lady like you get infected too.
Commando: We'll find a way to save him, one way or another.
Kairi: As long as you have hope in him, we can save him.
They turned to Skeith.
Darren: Oh you're still here? Didn't realize.
Darren is running to him in is husky face, dodging Skeith's sword as he pulled back.
Haseo: Nice move, but we'll take it from here.
Haseo, Kite and Aty engaged Skeith.
Haseo: We got company. Back me up, Atoli! Wait, you're not Atoli.
Aty: Now now, Haseo, no picking on your teacher.
Kite: Heh. Bet you thought The World would keep you safe from school discipline.
Kite and Haseo laid into Skeith, doing more damage as they crossed blades. Aty then came in.
Aty: You don't wanna be on a teacher's bad side.
She came out swinging with Shartos and comboed in summoning her signature beasts before raising her sword in the air.
Aty: This power is to protect those precious to me.
Aty then transformed as she hit Skeith with a huge beam of light before Kite and Haseo went in as they laid waste upon Skeith as Kite struck with daggers while Haseo hit with his twin swords before Kite activated his bracelet.
Kite: This is the power of the Twilight Bracelet!
Data then flew from it as it went to Skeith.
Kite: Data... DRAIN!
The data soon exploded and sent him flying.
Kite: I wonder if this battle'e ever gonna end?
Aty: Just take it easy. Keep walking ahead and never give up.
Haseo: At a walking pace, huh? Hah. Yeah, great.
Skeith just floated there for a minute, looking at Haseo before logging out.
Haseo: That looking at me... I'm sure of it now. That Skeith is my avatar!
Me: Yeah, I see it, it must be yours.
Later...
Commando: I think we've uncovered alot about what's happening in the future. A lot of the criminals formerly working for Meio and Scumocide are coming out of the woodwork and have somehow allied themselves with an even greater evil... Shadaloo.
Jesse: Yeah. It was evident enough when we saw Tong Pooh with Bison back on Zenobia.
Hiryu: And their using robots from the fourth empire.
June: And now Hayato's been infected by AIDA. It explains what has been happening to him, what with the headaches...
Me: This is really becoming complicated. Lots of mysteries and plans are interwining.
Neneko: It's just becoming all one big mystery, it is.
Ky: Sol, you were with T-elos for a while, can you tell us anything about their plans?
Sol: Well, I don't know what they're planning exactly, but I do know one thing. Two of those... Ouma members, was it? They have ulterior motives for joining them.
Darren: Two of them?
Sol: Yes. The red monsters, Zavok and the Sorcerer, Shang Tsung.
Me: I knew it, It was a member of Darkness Army.
Reiji: Only one option, we head back to Shibuya and figure out what Ouma's up too.
Me: And since this is R:1 of the world, I think I know someone who can help. Hey, Aura. You can be free out there. It's safe.
Haseo: Aura, you mean? Is she even real?
A ghostly girl in a white dress appeared.
?: I am real. For after all, I am here now, aren't I?
World Protector
Aura
Kite: Aura!
Aura: Kite. I want to thank you. There was some sort of bug keeping me from interacting, but thanks to you, it was removed.
Kite: Uh... I didn't do anything.
Aura: Oh. But the person who removed it looked so much like you.
Darren: Wait, Tri-edge? He must've...
Triborg: Removed the bug from Aura's system. But why would he do that? Isn't he trying to destroy the World?
Kirito: I dunno. But... this brings us to the next question. Cna you log us outta here so we can get back to Shibuya?
Aura: Yes. I believe I can.
Me: Good enough for me. Everyone in the Dragonturtle.
They piled in Dragonturtle. Outside though, they didn't notice four shapes coming their way.
?: Hurry, hurry! Under the car, gob!
Aura: Now be warned, this trip feel shaky. The World has been through a lot already.
As they logged out, the four were already under the car.
?: This is the day we have our revenge, gob. Those heroes will rue the day they humiliated us back then, back in that... graveyard.. place. Gob.
