Welcome to the first mission of the story. Here are today's headlines.

Chapter is in: Opal's and Lloyd's Point of view

HERE WE GO! I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!

Last lines before the bell

Francis will be unconscious for 4 days is tough to take, but he is a hero for saving Opal. Leo being possessed by Kuja is the correct guess right now. The team continued to check out the base, and found a message center. On the system, it listed all messages sent and received so far. As we checked it out, a mission message came in. This is our first mission of A.L.O.

From: A.L.O NPC

Subject: First Mission: Find 'Lightning Flash'

Hello team Star Shine. I am a NPC, a non-playable character if you will. As I was walking in the Ancient Forest, There were cries for help coming from somewhere. It turns out that there was a photo of 'Lightning Flash'. I do not know who "Lightning Flash" is. Meet me in the house to the left of your team base, I have the photo for you.

Current Scene

Los Angeles, CA- Medical Center

Status: Francis the Snivy still unconscious

Time: 6:20 PM (Tuesday)

Opal and the team that logged out of A.L.O hours ago are still inside Francis's medical room. They know that Francis will still be unconscious for a while. Opal opens her messenger to check a reply from Freya.

(Opal's turn)

Learning that Francis will be unconscious for a while is tough to take, but at the same time, he saved me from the same possibility. I checked on my messenger to see if I got a reply from Freya, but none came. I just hope they are ok on the first mission. My feeling is that this long-range mission will be a bumpy ride.

Current Missions

1. Finding 'Lightning Flash'

Lloyd Irving and the team inside the game have just accepted their first mission. They head over to the house next door to meet the NPC (Non playable character).

(Lloyd's turn)

We are now about to begin the first mission of this adventure. I wonder who is this 'Lightning Flash' is. As we head inside the NPC's house, we a greeted by a young female sylph. She looks like she is 9 in RL.

"Hello team Star Shine. My name is Erika, and I am the one who sent the mission to you. Please come in" Erika tells us as she lets us in.

Erika's house is amazing. There are luxurious chairs, a big living room, a nice couch and more. We also see some packages with our team name on them. There was a woman standing by them as well.

"Hello there, you must be the team leader of Team Star Shine. I am Erika's mother, Diana" Diana greeted us

"Well, I am the current team leader, but I am not the main one" I said as I shook hands with her.

"I see. Would you like to talk about it? Im open" Diana offered us a couch to sit on

We took the offer and got to chat about the real leader, our unconscious hero. The chairs we sat on were very comfortable.

"You said that you are not the main captain Lloyd" Diana told me as I explained.

"Correct. I am the captain now, but the main captain is unconscious in the real world" I told her as Erika sat down with me.

Having Erika sit down with us reminded me of sitting with Colette, my girlfriend. I miss her. Please Colette, Francis, be safe.

"Where in the real world?" Erika asked me

"Los Angeles, CA. The city of Angels" I responded

"Let me guess. Francis the Snivy right?" Erika asked

Oh my gosh. She is right on with her guess.

"Yes Erika it is" I replied as I stroked her hair

"You see, Erika has been a fan of Francis ever since he was a human. The kindness he brings to the people of Los Angeles. It is amazing"Diana tells us.

This chat was amazing, but we remember the mission.

"Excuse me Miss Diana. Is there a picture we can see of 'Lightning Flash'?" I asked

"Oh yes, here you go" Diana said as she gave us the picture.

The picture looks exactly like what Francis described a few hours earlier. Talavera, Luna, and Colette unconscious in a cage, but the one to the right of Colette could be 'Lightning Flash'. Francis mentioned the name 'Asuna'. If this is Asuna, will we see Kirito? Only time will tell. I had Freya text this to Opal.

Attachment: Mission Photo

This is the photo for the first mission. We have a guess that 'Lightning Flash' is Asuna from the S.A.O animie. I will keep you updated as soon as we get more information.

We now know all the victims we need to rescue. Luna, Francis's human friend. Talavera, Francis's human friend. Colette, my girlfriend. And finally Asuna, the main heroine of the Sword Art Online animie. The next piece of information to know is Leo's 'Francis deserves to die' behavior. I have a feeling that Leo is not the real person saying it. It's Kuja possessing Leo's body. My fear of Kuja possessing Leo is about to be handed to us.

"I also found this tape. Let me play it for you" Erika told us.

On the tape, my fear confirmed.

Tape recording

Record Date: March 2nd, 2014

During the Crescent Cup

[SCRIPT MODE]

Leo: Where am I?

Kuja: Your worst nightmare. I will make sure you will kill Francis, and Opal to make sure they can't get in the way in your relationship with Talavera.

Leo: You will never get away with this!

Kuja brings out his hypnosis eyes

(Skiping Hypnosis scene)

Kuja: You shall now kill Francis, Opal, and your 'sister' under my control.

Tape recording ends

(Lloyd's turn)

Kuja will pay. Francis, Luna, and Opal never deserved this. The only way to bring Leo back is wiping out his memories of killing Francis, and being under Kuja's control. Opal has to read this. Freya goes to her messenger.

Freya Crescent-Messenger-Reply to subject "Francis's Injuries (5)'

To: Opal

We have just found out that Leo was possessed by Kuja during the Crescent Cup. Kuja hypnotized Leo to kill you, Francis, and Opal. The only way to bring Leo back to his senses is to wipe out his memories of being possessed by Kuja. I have a feeling that Kuja is forming a plan to kill Luna and wipe her out from existence. We have to stop that.

PS. Kuja is planning to kill Luna, but someone helps out. Is the helper Kirito? Find out in two weeks on 'Francis the Snivy's Adventure II'
