Shelby walked to the vendor and the vendor said, "You are back after that mental break down."
Shelby said, "Yes, Legendary of the Day, please."
The vendor smiled and Shelby put the Gold on the counter and the vendor took it out and put it in front of him and said, "There you go."
Shelby smiled and said, "Nice."
The vendor said, "Enjoy."
Shelby said, "I will. You enjoy as well."
The vendor said, "I will as well."
Shelby smiled and then the vendor said, "Now, where is that friend of yours?"
Shelby answered, "He's not a friend. He was just using me for my cards."
The vendor laughed and asked, "Does he have your cards?"
Shelby answered, "Hell no."
The vendor smiled and then Shelby said, "I gotta go. Talk to you later."
The vendor said, "Alright."
Shelby took off and about 500 players appeared to the meeting and George saw Shelby and screeched and the hooded player saw that and asked, "What are you scared of?"
George pointed at Shelby and Shelby said, "Don't point at me."
George screeched and then the leader of the meeting said, "Everyone, I am Yoshi. If you read the manual in your inventory, we could learn about all of the bosses."
Shelby looked at him and sighed and The hooded player heard that and asked, "What do you think?"
Shelby answered, "The world ended as soon as we entered this game."
The hooded player sighed and said, "You are useless."
Shelby smiled and said, "But this is going to be one hell of a journey."
The hooded player heard that and then Yoshi said, "In the manual, the first boss would be Cycorat, the Hammerhead. His maid attack is Oblivion. That is an attack where invisible light waves fly toward us."
Everyone asked, "How do you know that?"
Yoshi answered, "It says it in the manual."
They heard that and said, "Oh you are right."
Shelby sighed and said, "These guys are useless."
The hooded player said, "Just like you."
Shelby smiled and then checked his storage and saw his cards and put them back into his inventory and then said, "There we go."
The hooded player asked, "What are you so happy about?"
Shelby answered, "The man that is scared of me tried stealing my cards last night. So I hid them in my storage device for the night, knowing that he'd try something."
The hooded player said, "Oh, people sure are evil."
Shelby said, "Let's see what they are going to do."
A player asked, "What do you intend to do, Yoshi?"
Yoshi answered, "Split up into teams. And when I give the command, you attack, defend, or fall back."
Shelby heard that and the hooded player asked, "What do you think of him as a leader?"
Shelby answered, "We're screwed. Kirito was better than this shit."
The hooded player smiled and then Yoshi said, "Get your team ready. We move in two hours."
Everyone agreed and then Shelby stood up and walked away and Yoshi saw that and the hooded player looked at him and Yoshi asked, "Where are you going?"
Shelby answered, "I already have my teammate. Am I right, hooded player?"
The hooded player said, "Yep."
Yoshi asked, "Is that all that you want?"
Shelby answered, "Yes. She'll do just fine. Plus, I like working with less numbers."
Yoshi heard that and said, "I see."
Shelby said, "See you in 2 hours."
Everyone heard that and then Shelby walked to the fountain and sat there for awhile and the hooded player appeared and asked, "Why are you always sad?"
Shelby answered, "My sister is probably crying right now. I don't like to see her unhappy."
The hooded player said, "You'll make it through this and make it back to her. I guarantee you that."
Shelby said, "Oh, I'll survive. No matter how long it takes. I will survive."
An attack appeared and then hit his leg and Shelby felt that and grinned and asked, "What are you doing?"
George answered, "I'm going to kill you."
Shelby asked, "Why?"
George answered, "I can't tell you that."
The hooded player looked at him and then Shelby sat there and George said, "Ultimate Slash."
Shelby heard that and said, "Oh."
He jumped off of the bench and punched George in the face and he collapsed and then stopped moving and Shelby looked at his HP and said, "You really are weak."
The hooded player said, "We need him for the boss."
Shelby said, "No we don't. Just trust me. And I'm a solo player. So after this, I'll be leaving."
The hooded player heard that and said, "You can't be serious."
Shelby said, "I am."
The hooded player said, "Oh, it's almost time."
Shelby sighed and said, "And I was trying to have peace and quiet. Let's go."
The two of them walked back to the team and then Shelby saw them and Yoshi asked, "Are you two ready?"
Shelby answered, "Yes."
The hooded player answered, "Yes we are."
Yoshi said, "Let's move then."
They started walking to the first Dungeon and then as soon as they got there, everyone was out of breath except for Yoshi, the hooded player and Shelby. Yoshi said, "The boss is just behind this wall everyone. Let's go."
Shelby said, "We should wait. You'll kill them if you let them fight like this."
Yoshi looked at them and then one of them said, "He's right. We're out of breath. There were too many damn stairs to get here."
Another said, "There were a lot of enemies, too. So give us a break."
Yoshi looked at Shelby and grinned and said, "Alright. George, where are you?"
The hooded player looked at Shelby and Shelby answered, "He was too scared to join us. He ran."
Yoshi said, "That wimp. Alright, then I'll need a new second in command."
Everyone pointed at Shelby and Shelby asked, "Why me?"
They answered, "You saved us from going in there and you have a way with words."
Shelby sighed and said, "Shit."
Yoshi said, "We'll take an hour break."
Everyone said, "Thank you lord."
While they were in the Dungeon, the Administrator, Wyoming appeared by the fountain where George was and said, "You failed to eliminate, Shelby."
George screeched and said, "He's too strong. He didn't even use a card and took more than half of my HP away."
Wyoming said, "He was a survivor of SAO. You can't let survivors live. You have failed me. Now it's time for you to die. Excalibur."
Her Excalibur appeared and George said, "Wait, wait. He's at the first Dungeon. If you let me go there, I'll kill him myself."
Wyoming said, "Sorry George, you failed already. And it is time for you to die in the game and in reality. It's been nice working with you. Now tell me something, when you slept with him yesterday, did you learn anything?"
George answered, "He doesn't have any cards at all."
Wyoming said, "Impossible. He's a Beta Tester."
George said, "I checked everywhere for them. In his clothes, drawers, pockets, under the bed, backpack. I found nothing. Not a single card."
Wyoming said, "Hm, you check his underpants."
George yelled, "I'm not gay."
Wyoming smiled and said, "I know, George. Thank you for telling me. I have to go now. The death of Shelby awaits."
George said, "Oh yeah, his inventory was empty as well. It's just like SAO. Thomas Grapes introduced himself as a friend of the SAO survivors. And then mentioned that his boss was after him."
Wyoming asked, "Are you telling me that Thomas Grapes is Shelby?"
George said, "Yes. He used the same name tag as in SAO."
Wyoming said, "I can't believe that I didn't realize that. I'm sorry."
George asked, "Why are you sorry?"
Wyoming answered, "I'm sorry that I tried killing my fiancee in real life. In SAO, I despised Shelby because of his strength. And how he treated other players. But now that I know who he is, that makes sense. Thank you, George."
He said, "You're welcome."
Wyoming stabbed him and said, "For trying to kill him, you must die."
George felt that and looked at her and then Wyoming hugged him and said, "Rest in peace."
George disappeared and then Wyoming took off to the Dungeon. Back in reality, Andrew Gilbert Mills said, "Huh, the news log of the game was updated."
Chelsea heard that and asked, "What was it about?"
Andrew answered, "The first death in the game just happened."
Chelsea asked, "How?"
Andrew answered, "PKing."
Kirigaya said, "Shit. They are in that game as well."
Tsuboi Ryoutarou said, "It seems that Thomas got into the shit."
Kirigaya said, "Yep. And we can't do a damn thing about it."
Asuna said, "This is far beyond messed up."
Tsuboi said, "You could say that again. What'll happen next?"
Chelsea looked at the screen and everyone answered, "Unknown."
Back to the game, Wyoming appeared and said, "I'm here to help out."
Shelby heard that and then Wyoming appeared next to Shelby and said, "Sorry about George. I didn't realize who you were. Till he told me your real name."
Shelby heard that and asked, "How'd he find out who I was? I never met him before."
Wyoming said, "George was also a survivor of SAO like us."
Shelby said, "Oh, still, don't know him."
Wyoming said, "Oh well, let's do this honey."
The hooded player asked, "Who are you?"
Wyoming answered, "I'm Wyoming. His fiancee in the real world."
Shelby said, "Shit. She's the reason why I got into gaming. For me to escape her seductiveness."
The hooded player laughed and then said, "Time."
