The next day, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Yui and Kazuto head to the place where they, Mighty, Ray, Asuna, and Yuuki fought the boss the night before.
Yui: Why are we here, Daddy?
Kazuto: Don't know, really. This is where you guys fought the boss last night, right?
Sonic: Yeah. Can't believe some punk beat up Klein and his guild members.
Kazuto: Mighty told me what happened. You guys couldn't find who did it, right?
Knuckles: No. We were too late to see him or her when we arrived.
Kazuto: I see.
Tails: Say Kirito, how about you train to fight in OS right now? You should really exercise more, especially if you want to keep your family from danger.
Kazuto: You're right.
Kazuto puts on his Augma.
Kazuto: Ordinal Scale, activate.
His avatar changes into his OS uniform. He starts swinging his sword around.
Kirito: This feels really off. It's very different from VR.
Sonic: Practice makes perfect, Kirito.
Kirito: Right.
Kirito swings his sword around a little bit.
Kirito: You know...
A girl in white suddenly appears behind Kirito, and he jumps back. The girl falls on the ground.
Kirito: Oh, sorry. Are you alright?
Kirito grabs the girls hand, but it turns out that his hand went through hers.
Kirito: What the...
Sonic: What just happened?
Yui: Is that a ghost?
The girl gets up.
Kirito: Who are you?
The girl points to a certain direction and speaks in some words that make no sense. She then disappears. Everybody takes off their Augma's for a moment.
Knuckles: Was that an NPC?
Tails: I don't think so.
Kirito: What if it's an AR ghost?
Tails: Well, uh...
Sonic: It looked like she was saying something.
Kirito: Yeah. By the way her lips were moving, it seemed like she was saying look forth.
Asuna shows up and taps behind Kirito. He quickly looks behind, all startled.
Asuna: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to startle you.
Yui: Wow! You look so pretty, Mommy!
Asuna: Thank you, Yui. Hehe.
They all go and get lunch. Tails looks up some info about that AI.
Asuna: Sorry we didn't take you to the event last night.
Kazuto: It's ok. By the way, in the first OS battle, did you mention there being other SAO survivors besides us?
Asuna: Yes. It was that rank 2 guy.
Sonic: You mean Eiji?
Asuna: Yes. I believe he was a member of the Knights of the Blood Oath. But he's completely different than he was back in SAO.
Knuckles: Really?
Asuna: Back in SAO, he went by the name of Nautilus, and he was diligent and had potential, but he never overcame his fear of death, and so he never took part in any boss raids.
Kazuto: So his play style is different now. The way he moved seemed strange. Have you talked to him yet?
Asuna: No. I'm not sure if he would be happy to see me here IRL. However, I'm a little bit concerned since he was a fellow guild member.
Kazuto: Says the former vice commander.
Asuna: Stop it.
Sonic: By the way, have you heard rumors about ghosts appearing in this park?
Asuna: Don't ask me that! I don't like ghost stories!
Sonic: Ok.
Tails: Hey guys. I just found something out.
Everybody meets up in ALO.
Tails: Take a look at this.
He shows a map of where some of the events in OS were at.
Tails: So, the boss monsters in OS have appeared every night at 9. Right here is where Sonic, Mighty, Ray, Kirito, Asuna, Yui, Yuuki, and Klein's guild fought Kagachi the Samurai Lord two days ago. And right here is where we, except Kirito fought last night. Here's where the other monsters showed up. I'm pulling up a map of Old Aincrad.
He pulls up the locations of the other SAO bosses that were defeated in the event battles.
Tails: So, the places where the monsters spawn overlap with the dungeons of Old Aincrad. Translation, they are the closest parks and plazas to the coordinates that overlap with the dungeon.
Sonic: Do you know where the next boss is gonna be?
Tails: I don't know, but I think it's going to be at the Yebisu Garden Place in Shibuya at 9.
Silica: Then if we know where it's going to be, I want to join too.
Rain: Yeah, me too.
Seven: I'm joining as well.
Snow: So am I.
Strea: Me too!
Yuuki: Same here!
Mighty: You guys sure you're ok? It's at night you know.
Lisbeth: It's fine as long as I'm with you guys. Funny, if this was VR, our parents would complain.
Sinon: I can't go since I'll be at work.
Ray: What about you, Kirito?
Kirito: No thanks.
Strea: Aww, are you really bad at AR battles?
Kirito: A little bit.
Sonic: Oh well. Your loss.
Lisbeth: Asuna, Silica, let's show Yuna our veteran play!
Asuna and Silica: Yes!
Kirito: By the way, did you guys hear about what happened to Klein?
Sinon: What happened?
Knuckles: He got injured during the event battle we went to last night. So are his guild members.
Silica: Are they ok?
Mighty: It looked like they were beaten up by somebody. Klein's arm is broken right now, but he should be fine.
Asuna: No wonder why we didn't see him in battle yesterday. They said they were waiting on another Fuurinkazan member.
Sonic: First Dale goes missing, and now this.
Tails: When it comes to AR battles, it can be a pain to have to physically go to the actual venue.
Yui: Oh, we should also pick a time to when we can see the stars!
Everybody looks to Yui for a moment.
Kirito: Umm Yui, that's a family event.
Yui: Oh, ok.
Yuuki: How about we pick our own time to when we can go to the boss raid?
Sonic: Good idea.
Kirito: Hey Tails, can you send me the boss raids location later?
Tails: Sure thing.
Back in the real world, Kazuto, Asuna, and Yui have lunch together.
Asuna: I just can't wait to see the meteor shower.
Yui: Yeah. I really want to see shooting stars and make a wish!
Kazuto: I have the date planned. It's going to be a wonderful time.
Meanwhile, Sonic runs around town, and suddenly gets hugged by Amy.
Amy: Sonic!
Sonic: Oh great.
Amy: I've seen you in those boss raids in Ordinal Scale! You were so cool!
Sonic: That's good, Amy. But I have plans right now to go to another event battle tonight with friends.
Amy: Can I please come with you? Please?!
Sonic: Oh alright. Fine.
Amy: Yay!
Sonic: I'm so gonna regret this.
