A month after the first boss battle, a Press Conference in the real world was to answer questions about Golden World. The Prime Minister of Australia, Eva Orton said, "Thank you for coming to this Press Conference everyone. As you may know, I'm the new Prime Minister of Australia, Eva Orton."
Everyone started cheering and whistling and then Eva said, "Today, we're going to learn about what went wrong with the game known as Golden World. And they'll answer any questions that you have. So, please welcome the CEO and President of Rosario Studios, Miyuki Sendo."
Andrew turned the tv on and said, "Look at this. A Press Conference."
Suguha Kirigaya asked, "What for?"
Andrew answered, "To know more about the incident that we all want to know."
Keiko Ayano asked, "What?"
Rika Shinozaki said, "There's another incident."
Andrew answered, "Yes, Shelby is trapped inside of the game and is being hunted by the players and the Admin."
Rika heard that and said, "Shelby, the most insane man in the front lines."
Kazuto said, "Yes. He lost his mind after losing everyone in his guild."
Suguha heard that and said, "I'm sorry."
Kazuto said, "Don't worry about it."
Miyuki appeared and said, "Thank you for coming. I am the CEO and President of Rosario Studios, Miyuki Sendo. I'll be answering any questions that you may have for me. But I want to apologise about the 200,000 players that have been stuck inside of the game. Please forgive us."
Everyone heard that and then asked, "Why should we forgive you? You guys trapped people inside of your game like SAO."
Suguha said, "This isn't looking good."
Miyuki answered, "The day before the launch, Rosario Studios and Helio Games went to a bar to celebrate the launch of Golden World at midnight. Everyone was accounted for. But one member from Helio Games was acting strange the entire time. Like she had no idea what we were talking about."
A reporter asked, "Why would we believe you?"
Miyuki heard that and asked, "If you don't believe me, then Thomas' efforts to speak to us through the game REC system that he created would be pointless."
They heard that and then said, "He hasn't contacted us in a month. Why do you think that is the case?"
Miyuki answered, "They are probably still looking for the next boss room still. They are hidden all over the universe of Golden World."
A reporter said, "You made the games impossible to beat."
Miyuki said, "No, I didn't make it this way. The CEO of Helio Games, Kane West did."
A reporter asked, "How many worlds and bosses are there?"
Miyuki answered, "6 worlds, 15 bosses on each. There are also Raid Bosses and loads of quests to complete. But during the Beta Test, only one man completed the game all by himself. Which should be impossible."
Everyone heard that and asked, "Who would that be?"
Miyuki answered, "Thomas Grapes. He completed it in less than a month. But because Kane took over the game, all of the Dungeons where the bosses are at have been moved and no one has any clue on where they are at. Plus, Thomas is on the front lines. I wonder what he'll do to escape."
A reporter asked, "Is there a way to save them from the outside?"
Miyuki answered, "Currently, no. But the staff at Helio Games are looking through Thomas' things for what he said about ending the game. But no luck."
A reporter said, "He knew that this would happen?"
Miyuki answered, "Nope. He created the project so that if he did get stuck inside of a game for a second time that he would be prepared. So he created the REC system in the game as one purpose. And the project as another one. If we fail to find it, then they are stuck in the game for good till they beat the game."
Her co-worker whispered something into her ear and then Miyuki said, "Kane is out of the game. She's in the hospital, isn't she?"
She nodded and then Miyuki said, "She has a twin."
Her co-worker nodded and Miyuki turned her head and said, "Shit. That's not good. Officers, one, Kane isn't the only enemy. She has a twin helping her out. And Thomas' body is missing from the hospital."
Everyone heard that and Chelsea looked at the screen and Andrew asked, "Why would they want Thomas' body?"
Kazuto said, "They both love him."
Shino Asada said, "That's not good."
The officers nodded and called it in and then a reporter asked, "What would the twin want with Thomas' body?"
Miyuki answered, "Kane loves Thomas. Her twin probably has other intentions. I don't know what though."
A reporter said, "Thomas is the key to victory, or is it everyone's duty to help out?"
Miyuki answered, "It's everyone's duty to help out. The boss battles are impossible to win alone. Unless you are a professional lone wolf like Thomas. He was known as the most insane swordsman on the front lines during SAO. After the attack on Laughing Coffin, Thomas lost his mind and decided to never join another party or guild unless necessary."
A reporter said, "It's been a month since the second death game began. How many died so far?"
Miyuki heard that and looked at them and then said, "17,496 players. 6,004 of them were killed by players. 200 had their plugs pulled for unknown reasons. The rest died by the monsters."
A reporter asked, "Do you think that the Admin is using Thomas to kill all of those people?"
Miyuki answered, "Thomas is the bait in fact. Two players on the first day tried killing him if you remember. He killed one of them and someone else killed one. They were both Beta Testers. We believe that Kane is using the Beta Testers to kill the monster that she despised in SAO. And didn't know who he really was till a month ago."
A reporter said, "What is the project that Thomas created?"
Miyuki answered, "Unknown. Everything in his office was compromised. No one knows who did it because the person disabled the camera's in the building. We can't use it to save them."
Everyone looked at each other and then Miyuki said, "But there is a high possibility that it was Kane's twin. She really is taking her time with this."
A reporter asked, "Why would she take the project away?"
Miyuki answered, "So we can't interfere with Kane's plans. To trap them in the game for eternity. Or to just plainly capture Thomas and marry him inside of the game. Thomas doesn't want that, so he's fighting for survival and running away as far as possible. I have a feeling, that every time they get close to the Dungeon, it teleports away."
A reporter asked, "Is it possible to do that?"
Miyuki answered, "Yes. If you are capable of controlling the game, then you could literally do anything you damn well please."
They heard that and then asked, "Why are people such idiots?"
Miyuki answered, "I'm sorry. I don't know the answer to that."
A bullet grazed her cheek and then Miyuki felt that and then put her hand by her cheek and swiped her finger across the wound and looked at it and saw the blood and ducked and the next bullet hit the board and the police yelled, "Get down."
The shooter said, "Shoot me, we all die here."
They saw the detonator and said, "Shit."
The girl said, "You are trying to put all of this on me and my sister. You really are an idiot, Miyuki. Thomas will never love you. He belongs to us."
Miyuki said, "He belongs to no one."
She asked, "Is that so?"
Miyuki answered, "Yes. He does whatever he wants, when he wants."
She laughed and said, "Oh well, you people really fell for it. And yes, I was at the celebration party. And yes, Kane tampered with the device to annihilate everyone in 3 years and a month. If they can't complete the game by then, they will all die. And their deaths will be on Thomas' hands. Hahahahaha."
The officers said, "You lost your mind."
She said, "I didn't lose my mind yet, officer. In SAO, I've killed many players for fun. Like Thomas has been doing for the past month. Thomas will fail to save them because as soon as they beat the game, they won't be saved."
Everyone heard that and Miyuki asked, "What do you mean by that?"
The girl answered, "There are 6 worlds, 15 bosses each. Making a total of 90 bosses. You beat them all, you didn't beat the game. Raid Bosses are there every Weekend. But you still won't be free. The only way to beat the game is to defeat Kane. And no one knows that except for reality and Kane herself."
Miyuki grinned and then she said, "I got everything off of my chest. Oh yeah, almost forgot. The project that Thomas created to help out the game was just destroyed by me. There is no interfering with her plans."
Everyone in the real world started talking and then Miyuki said, "You didn't?"
She took out the 6 torn apart flash drives and said, "I did."
Miyuki looked and saw them and said, "You gotta be kidding me."
She put them away and said, "Farewell now."
She took off and then the officers followed her, but as soon as they got to the intersection where she turned right, she was gone and the officers saw that and said, "You gotta be kidding me. How is she so fast?"
Miyuki stood up and looked at the reporters and asked, "Are you all ok?"
They answered, "Yes."
Miyuki said, "I can't continue. Not after this. I'm sorry."
Eva heard that and appeared and said, "That is all we have time for today."
They said, "Thank you for all of your comments. Now we know that it wasn't Rosario Studios' fault. It was Kane and her twin sister's fault."
Miyuki smiled and put her thumbs up and they left and the limo took off and then at her base of operations, Kane's twin sister took her mask off and unattached the bombs from herself and said, "I, Carly West, will take care of you honey. Hahahahaha."
