What Harold didn't want to handle was his dreams, but of course, they haunted him anyway. His first dream was...odd to say the least about it, it was when he dueled Pegasus Maximillion to a draw and that won him his deck that he still uses today. The next dream was one that he hazard to guess that was in the future, he and Sophia were married and their kids were playing. The third dream, however, was the weirdest of all. He was in another VRMMO game, but he was flying in the air and was dueling a man in red armor. Harolds lightsaber was blocking the man's blade, but he had a sense that his weapon was able to stop the man's own blade from doing something. "Grr~Your good...Demon." The man grunted as he swung his blade, Harold blocked the sword with a one handed block. 'You're not bad yourself, Salamander. But you've forgot what type of demon I am." Harold hissed before his helmet of his kaiju armor snapped into place and he kicked the Salamander in the chest. The fairy sped back at him only to be met with Harold's fist breaking his nose. "I am a Kaiju Demon and you have only just barely seen the surface of what I can do!" Harold roared and he woke up at the same moment, his back burning for some reason.

Groaning as he got into the shower, Harold put on the cold water to sooth his back though it didn't help much. Turning off the shower and drying himself, Harold got dressed and left the room and headed to the forest. Harold felt like his back was being branded and then cut off, it hurt so much. He made his way to the tree he used for snipping mobs but upon reaching it, he collapsed and screamed. The burning sensation was now on his shoulders and it was like someone had put two suns there. "AURRGH!" Harold roared before he blacked out. As fate would have it, Kirito had run towards Harold's scream and found that the back of Harold's shirt was ripped opened to reveal a pair of black, dragon-like wings. Kirito then opened his menu and sent a message to Asuna, who was still with him in a party even though he had nearly kicked her out of the party they had formed on the first floor. Then Kirito was at Harold's side and was going to put him on his side, when a voice said "I wouldn't do that if I were you."

Kirito grabbed his sword and pointed it at Kayaba, anger burning in his eyes. "Why should I even listen to you?" Kirito snarled at the game's creator, Kayaba looked indifferent at the weapon pointed at his chest and then looked at Harold. "Because if you had, you would have been sent into a tree by Echo. His body is changing and adapting because someone is using my system for their own means, a game called Alfheim Online. Echo is the only one that would experience this because I could only stop so much from that game from changing my world." That's when the two heard "It had to be me, didn't it? You have better get out of my sights, Kayaba, before I get up and rip you head from your shoulders." Kayaba vanished into thin air, leaving a confused Kirito and cursing Harold behind. Asuna then crashed into her partner, sending them into the ground. Harold smirked at the two before pulling himself up off the ground, cursing and swearing under his breath the entire way. The two japanese players could only stare at Harold because he was speaking English and not Japanese, but they could tell he was not a happy camper at the moment.

Harold flexed his new wings, giving them a once over before smiling "They'll go well with my armor, now how do I explain this to Sophia and the others?" Harold pulled off his ruined shirt and activated his kaiju armor. Asuna had a deep blush covering her face and Kirito's mouth was open, Harold had the build of a olympian. Harold noticed the player's faces, then realized why they looked like that and then glared at the two of them. "Oi! Off the ground, you two. It's very rude to stare and I have a bone to pick with you, Kirito." Kirito snapped out of his daze and shuddered, he had heard of The Forgotten Echo 's feats in battle as well as rumors of his wrath. Asuna got off of Kirito and backed away from the two, far enough away to be safe but close enough to help if their was any trouble. Harold's wings folded against his armor as he took a step towards the black swordsman. Grabbing the front of Kirito's shirt, Harold pulled him off the ground before smacking Kirito upside the head. "OUCH! Hey, what was that for!?" Harold glared at Kirito before he said "That was for being a complete idiot on the first floor, that player that was shouting that the beta testers were only hording the best items and said that the beta's already knew that the weapon the boss had beforehand, was because of jealousy! And what do you do? You fell for his bait, hook-line-and-sinker. You then made the whole situation worse by calling yourself a 'Beta Cheater' or 'Beater', then you put the blame that you thought was there when there was none on yourself. You're lucky that Asuna stayed by your side this long, why she stayed is way beyond me but I would have left you for being such a moron!"

Harold then dropped Kirito and turned to leave, stopping when Asuna asked "Will you be able to get back to where ever you are going?" Harold opened and closed his wings before he said "I'm not going to be flying there, if that's what you're asking. I can walk just fine, though thank you for asking about my health, Asuna." He then turned and headed back to the inn, hoping that his friends could help him with his wings. They had no clue about his wings, though they did find that his wings blended with his armor perfectly. Learning to fly, however, was the most embarrassing moment in his life. If the houses hadn't been immortal objects, they would have been flattened in his attempts to learn how to fly. Flying in his kaiju form was not the same as flying with wings in SAO and yet, no matter how many times he crashed into houses, he would get up and try again.

His dreams weren't getting any better either, his friends were worried about him. He would talk in his sleep before abruptly screaming and wake up, the only person that was able to calm him down enough so he could sleep again was Sophia. It got to the point to where she moved her bed into his room and her presence in the room seemed to calm him immensely. Though, Harold would not talk about what he was dreaming until a month and a half later. Sophia had told him that if he wanted to go with the clearers to defeat the boss on this floor, he would have to tell her about his dreams. "Fine, you win..." Harold sighed in defeat before he he told Sophia about his dream of them, the duels he would fight in duel monsters, and the dreams of when he was in a world similar but somehow different to SAO. When he finished, Sophia had a thoughtful look on her face before she pulled Harold into a hug. Sophia held him in her arms, humming a tune that had a calming effect on him before he felt that something was off. Very off, standing abruptly and activating his kaiju armor, Harold ran out of the hotel and into a panicking crowd.

"Whats going on here!?" Harold shouted over the noise and he heard "It's the boss! It's running loose in Taft!" His instincts took over and he launched himself into the air. Hovering in air, Harold heard the roar of an enraged boss and he sped towards it. The boss was Limia like creature and it carried a massive scythe in its hands. How the boss was able to escape from its room was a mystery in and of itself, but Harold was too busy dodging the massive scythe from ending his life. Harold then started shouting " Kelia Dria Rikos Fiva Girta Belo Laia !" Golden words surrounded him and then vanished, leaving his hands glowing deep red. Shoving his hands forward towards the boss, Harold let out a battle cry as a beam of energy shot out of his palms and into the boss, emptying two of its health bars. Harold growled as he noticed that his friends and Kirito and Asuna were attacking the snake monster's tail, only taking a quarter of the boss's health away. Raising his hand, Harold hissed out more words, the golden words appeared again before a golden chain flew at the boss. The chain wrapped itself around the boss's chest, arms, and mouth and made it drop its weapon.

Activating his lightsaber, Harold charged the boss with a cry of rage. His weapon slashing and hacking at the boss so fast that all there was a blur of red. The boss's health vanished quickly under the assault before exploding into polygons. Snorting at the congratulation message, Harold landed before he spoke in the language again, healing his fellow players. The others stared at him before Sophia shouted "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?! THE BEAM OF ENERGY AND THE CHAIN!? HOW?!" Harold gave her a blank look before shrugging, he had followed his gut. He didn't know how he did those...wait, Kayaba had mentioned that someone had used this game as a base for another. Alfheim Online, could that have been a skill in that game, using magic? If Harold thought about it, it made more sense to him. Kayaba had done damage control and made it so Harold was the one that got all of the abilities, skills, and whatever else that was from the Alfheim Online. And he was going to kill Kayaba when he found him, oh he was going to die a slow and painful death when Harold got his hands on the game creator.
