Hi guys, I'm back with chapter 2. Thanks for all the reviews and yeah. First though, I would like to answer some questions and some stuff in the reviews.

" chapter 1 . 10h ago

Hey! It is interesting story but can u make your story more realistic or more information about the item like "crystal" (I know what it mean but the other word, maybe not) and keep updating"

So, Kaisar, what do you mean by realistic? I could take some guesses, but I don't really understand right now. I think that some of my scenes were a bit stretched, but not that much. Please tell me what I was doing wrong.

One other thing. I am beginning another story, so I set up a poll that will be entirely important to the whole story. I may just choose my own, but for now, I will leave it to you guys to answer my poll. Thanks!

Well then, after that I think that I am finished. Let's begin!

Chapter 2

Ichika POV

On the helicopter, a man spoke to us.

"Ok, so, guys, we will have to be treating you like hostages, so you might want to be prepared." He said.

"Ok, thanks for the heads-up," I replied to the voice.

"So, first, we will inject you with a sedative to make it look more realistic," he said.

In return, we all nodded. Then, I heard a soft clinking signaling that they had some sort of metal thing, like needles. The clinking soon stopped as the syringes were brought out. I felt a sharp prick on my shoulder right before everything started to blur and I blacked out.

Scene Change

I was waking up. My eyes fluttered open and were met with black. I removed the blindfold from my face and tried to look around. It was a very dim lit room somewhere. I saw Kirito and Klein both slumped on opposite sides of the warehouse.

I tried to get up. I felt a sharp pain in my leg as soon as I put weight on it and I collapsed on the ground. I shifted my body so that my weight was not on my injured leg. I groaned out loud.

"Hey, Kirito," I managed. There was no reaction.

I sighed and inspected my wounds. I had a few bruises and I felt pain everywhere through my body. I tried to get reactions from both of my hands. It turns out that they were only bruised. I tried to move my injured leg. I felt another sharp pain dig into my foot. I grimaced and pondered on what happened.

Okay, so, those guys must have done what they should have. I feel pain everywhere! Is my leg broken? It hurts, is it dislocated? No, it can't be, it must be broken.

I felt along my injured leg, my left leg. Everything was fine until I reached the center bone.

It's a fracture! Great, now I can't walk!

At that moment, Kirito woke up. He groaned "Why does it hurt so much?"

"Kirito, you awake?" I asked.

"Yeah, how are you doing?" he replied.

"My leg bone has been fractured." I said.

He winced in sympathy "Ouch, what happened?"

"Don't know." I replied.

He nodded grimly.

"Can you stand?" he asked.

"No, it hurts too much," I replied.

"Alright I'll try to help you," Kirito said.

He shakily stood up and started to stumble towards me.

I shook my head "Wake up Klein, he might know what to do."

"Sure," he replied. Kirito stopped coming toward me and started awkwardly shuffling toward Klein. "Hey Klein, wake up already."

Klein shot up, but instantly regretted it.

"Oww, why did you kick me Kirito?" he asked.

"I didn't," Kirito replied.

"Oh, then why does my back hurt?" he asked.

"Don't you remember earlier?" Kirito said.

"Oh yeah," Klein said, coming to realization with the memories flooding back into his mind. "So, what do we do?"

"I think we should go and call for help." I said. "Klein, could you try to find out where we are?"

"Sure Ichika." Klein replied to me. Then, his eyebrows raised in concern. "You alright there Ichika?"

"Got a fracture in my leg." I replied.

Klein looked over to Kirito. "Hey Kirito, do you have any of that balm from the game?"

"I'll check," Kirito replied. Then, Kirito brought up his main menu and looked through his items. He scrolled down for a few minutes until he found what he was looking for.

"Ah, here we go." Kirito said. Then, he turned toward me. "Hey Ichika, take this balm, it should help with the pain and speed up the recovery." He tapped one more time and a menu popped up. It said:

A new menu called the "trade menu" popped up. I waited and a trade agreement menu popped up. I tapped yes and a small canister named [Healing Balm] appeared in my inventory.

Then, I went into my main menu and brought up the items list. A menu popped up about the medicine. It said that this was a low grade medicine that could heal fractures, diseases and some other ailments that a player could go through. I brought out the medicine and held it.

"Hey Kirito?" I said.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"How do I use this?" I asked.

"Hold it over your wound," he answered. I did so and soon I felt the balm applying itself onto my fracture location. It stung a little, but I held it in and waited for the system to finish the application process.

While the system was going, I talked with Kirito and Klein.

"Hey Kirito-"I started before I was interrupted.

"Just call me Kazuya," Kirito/Kazuya said.

"Ok, but do you have a phone or anything that can be used to signal someone?" I asked.

Kazuya paused. "No, but me and Klein suspect that some authorities have already been contacted and people are already coming for us." Kazuya said. "I don't think that the organization would leave us here like this. They would have at least tipped someone off as of to our location.

I nodded. "Yeah, probably, I was thinking the same for a little, but I was unsure about it."

"So, what should we do now?" Klein asked, interrupting.

"I don't know." I said conclusively.

The system finally finished its application and my leg felt much better than before. I tested it out a little and I felt that it moved great. I stood up.

"Hey Kazuya, can I call you Kirito?" I asked.

"Sure, whatever you want." He replied.

"Well, that medicine works great, how much of it do you have?" I said.

"Not much, and I don't think we can make more of it anytime soon." Kirito replied.

"Oh, that sucks." I said.

A silence came over us. I tried to create a few conversations, but they all died out. Kirito and Klein just seemed to be out of it.

They're probably still dealing with the circumstances of what happened to them. I mean, when I was in their world, I freaked out a lot too. I guess that they could have had family waiting for them back in their old place.

I noticed the glum looks on their faces.

Feeling inspired, I started to talk. "So, Kirito, Klein, how is the change going with you?"

"I don't know," Klein said. "I just learned not so long ago that I would have to stay in a new world. It just seems so different."

"Yeah, I don't really know what to do or expect." Kirito added.

"Well, if you need anything, feel free to call me up. I bet I could help you a bit." I said.

"Thanks Ichika," they said. "We kind of needed that."

Then Kirito seemed to realize something. "Oh yeah, I totally forgot!"

"What," I said.

"We still need to add you to our friend list." He said.

"What? I thought I was in your friend list." I said, confused.

Kirito shook his head. "Nope, you were instantly put into our "party" when we got into the boss room since a player is usually not allowed to go in without a party now." Klein was right beside him confirming it.

"Ok then, let's start with that." I said, excited that the old Kirito and Klein were back.

We all added each other to our friend lists that had been wiped according to Kirito. When he said that they had been wiped, he seemed sort of sad. He brightened up soon as we messed around with the functions. We called each other with the phone and messed around for a while. Soon, Kirito and Klein decided it was time to go. They said their goodbyes and left. After that I just sat down and waited. I got bored and opened the packet I was given. It contained details of training, missions, what I would say to the authorities, and other things like that. It was packed!

Soon the promised retrieval crew came to the warehouse. As in my sister.

She crashed through the roof and hit the ground. Her IS had signs of long use and lots of battles. She was also still being chased by other IS. She dropped to her knees and her IS, Kurezakura, finally deactivated and shut down.

"Chifuyu-nee?" I said hopefully.

She looked up and saw me staring at her. I saw eyes with complete bloodlust in them and I stumbled backwards in surprise. Her eyes instantly cleared and she stepped gingerly toward me.

"Ichika?" she whispered.

"Chifuyu-nee?" I replied. She smiled warmly and walked over to hug me. She broke out in tears.

I tried to hold her tighter to comfort her. She cried into my even as the authorities came by to investigate and help. They separated us for questioning. For hours, I was questioned on what happened. I told them the basic outline that was included in the packet of information. After a few more questions, I was released and I went to meet with my sister.

When I found her, she was talking to a group of people. By their badges and the text on their uniforms, they were Germans. When they were finished. I said "Hey Chifuyu-nee."

Out of respect they left. "Hey Ichika." she said. "You alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied.

"Ok. Good. Listen, Ichika, I'm going to be leaving soon alright?" she said.

"Why Chifuyu-nee?" I asked, confused.

"It is because I owe the Germans a favor." She said. "I'm going to be leaving you in the care of Tabane alright?"

I looked down and felt extremely sad. Still though, I lifted my head up and gave a smile. I had to be good for my sister. I had to be strong so that I could protect myself and the people precious to me.

"It's alright Chifuyu-nee." I said. "I'll be good for you."

My sister smiled gently. "Thanks Ichika."

Then, we went home.

Scene Change

Later, my sister left for Germany to train their military in the use of the IS. Soon, Tabane came to pick me up. She also brought Kirito and Klein. We all used the teleporting crystals and went off to the Headquarters of Phantom Hunters. We greeted everyone and went straight into a lab. There, Tabane handed us our IS units.

Mine was a unit called Wild Tempest or Yasei no Arashi. It was lightning streaked and had tons of slots where I could pull out weapons. It was colored read with the lightning bolts cutting across. It looked like it was an all-rounder. It looked awesome and my thoughts were exactly, perfect. I looked forward to using it overall. Its standby form was a thin bracelet with the same color scheme as my IS.

Kirito's unit was called the Black Swordsman or the Kuroi Kenshi. It only contained two scabbards on its back. There was also a pouch for darts. The unit was entirely black like its name pointed to. It was sleek and looked like it was designed for speed and maneuverability. Overall, the unit gave off a feeling of experience and strangely, sadness. Its standby form was a long cloak that showed up as [The Cloak of Midnight]. This was the cloak that Kirito commonly used in his SAO days. He smiled sadly at the coat no doubt reminiscing of the old days. Its standby form was also a bracelet much like mine accept entirely black.

We looked over our IS while Tabane showed Klein around much of the building. Once we were finished, Tabane showed up with a dead looking Klein in tow. "Save me," he groaned.

We sweat dropped as Tabane dropped him on the ground with a loud thump.

"You ok Klein?" I asked.

He shakily lifted his head up "Evil. Evil. Evil woman." He replied. "That woman is evil!"

"Who, Tabane-nee?" I said.

"Who else?" he said back. He laid his head back down.

"What did she do to you?" I asked. I was getting scared. Kirito was also showing signs of being frightened.

He tried lifting his head back up but failed. I rushed to him. He was completely unconscious. I looked at Tabane fearfully. "What did you do Tabane-nee?"

"Oh, just some light warm-ups," She said. Then, she added, "Don't worry about him. You guy will be doing twice his warm-up." My face contorted to an expression of horror as my eyes shot between Klein and the door. A few moments later, I made the only logical choice. I sprinted toward the door. I peeked behind me and saw that Kirito was still frozen behind me.

I'm sorry Kirito, this is for the good of everyone. Try to survive until I get back! I thought sorrowfully. I just imagined his grave saying "Here, Kirito lays because of mad scientist's thirst for knowledge." I turned my head back to the front and ran harder. The door started to shut. I didn't make and slammed into the new wall.

"There, now, let us get started on your tor- I mean training." She said. Klein had woken back up after a few minutes and decided that it would be better to go back to sleep, so he fainted. Kirito was shaking and on his knees most likely praying to whatever gods he believed in that he would survive this. I lay down on the floor and fell asleep thinking of my drastically changed plans for the year.

Scene Change

I woke up in a soft bed with a heavy feeling on top of me. I opened my eyes and saw Tabane on me. "Eh! Tabane-nee, what are you doing?" I was starting to panic at the misunderstanding that this would cause. "Tabane-nee, get off!" I said. I got no reply except for her snuggling in closer. I tired from trying to pry her off eventually and I gave up to my fate. Three hours later, she woke up and sat up. Then, she said, "Thanks Ik-kun!" She looked to the clock ignoring my red face as she was in an awkward position on top of me. "Okay Ik-kun, we are going to start your training now! Kirito and Klein should be waking up soon too!" As per her words, I heard two separate screams. Tabane whistled "Wow, Sakura and the new girl must be really good!"

I frowned "Who's the new girl?"

"We pulled her out of Sword Art Online too, to help." She said.

I waited a few moments "So, can you get off of me now?"

"Oh, doesn't Ik-kun like it though?" she said with a hurt expression on her face. I turned beet red and stuttered out "Eh? Wh-What di-d y-you sa-y?"

"Ah, just kidding Ik-kun," she replied, laughing. She got off and helped me off. Then, her expression turned serious "Ik-kun, we will be starting your training today, are you ready?" I saw her expression and turned serious as well. "Yes Tabane-nee." I replied.

She nodded, "So, let us get started."


Alright, so that chapter is finished. A short chapter, but I think that this was pretty important in the development of the story here. I will try to make my chapters at least 3000 words long when I write, but I am a very young writer and I have not wrote that much, so please give me a break if you want to complain about the length or the time it takes for these to come out. I have not written very much and 7000 is about the most I have typed in my life.

I feel kinda bad about the cliffhanger. So, the next chapter will be a overview of missions that they undertake and the training for the year. They won't be overpowered to their opponents from Phantom Task, but should be able to keep up with Tatenashi without their IS.

About pairings. I have not decided them, so I am open to suggestions from anyone. Just find some way to tell me. I can't read you minds! Although that would be really cool...

One last thing, I have put up a poll for a new story that I am starting soon. So, please go to the poll as the poll is vital to most of the story.

Alright then, that's it and I will see you in the next chapter!
