Sword Art Online 2: Back To The Virtual World
One Little Step And The End Of GGO
*Let's Continue Where We Left Off*
Asada ran to her to try to escape. As soon as she unlock's the door very quickly she fall's down at the ground as Shinkawa grab her leg.
"A-Asada..."
Asada try's to escape but she get's pull by him back. He than get's om top of her.
"Asada... Asada! Asada! Asada! Asada! Asada! Asada! Asada! Asada! Asada! Asada!" Shinkawa repeating her name
She then scream's. Then, The door open's and two people came running inside. Shinkawa look's and get's knee and punch at the same time. The three of were fighting eachother. Asada saw the three of them fight. From pushing eachother to punching.
"Run, Sinon!" Kirito yelled
"Leave right now!" Sonic yelled
Asada look's to see Kirito and Sonic. She also had a vision of there GGO selfs.
"Kirito... Sonic..." Asafa whisper's
The three of them got up and push eachother a lot.
"What the hell are you doing?" Kirito yelled
"Leave!" Sonic yelled
Then, Shinkawa punches Sonic in the face and kick's him at a wall. Sonic was bleeding threw his mouth and breathing heavily.
"Sonic!" Asada yelled
"What... What are you doing?!" Shinkawa yelled
Shinkawa pushes Kirito toward's the bed.
"Stay away... Stay away from my Asada!" Shinkawa said
Shinkawa started punching Kirito in the face a lot. Shinkawa garb's the syringe from his pocket.
"Kirito!" Asada cried
"No!" Sonic yelled
Shinkawa put's the shot at his stomach and needles him. Asada get's angry and get's up. She look's around to find a item she can use as a weapon. She spot's a music box in the table.
"Sonic." Asada said
"Got it." Sonic said
Asada grab's the music box from the table. Sonic stand's back up. Asada soon's hit's Shinkawa with the music box while Sonic punches him the face very hard. They both knock him out cold. The syringe hit's the wall.
"Kirito!" Asada cried
"What happen?" Sonic said
"He got me. I had no idea that was a syringe..." Kirito trying to talk
"Where? Where did he inject you?" Asada said
Asada zip's down his sweater and to the inject right at his heart.
"Don't die... Don't die like this!" Asada said
"Keep fighting it man!" Sonic said
Asada put's his t-shirt to see the injectson. There were liquid coming out of it. Asada grab's a napkin and wipe's the liquid off. She throw's the napkin away and touches the thing from his chest. Kirito was struggling.
"Hey, um... What is this thing that's stuck to you?" Asada said
Kirito look's at it.
"Did he inject me here?" Kirito said
"It looks that way. What is this?" Asada said
"Um... I think it's an electrode for a heart monitor." Kirito said
"I had one but they took it off." Sonic said
"Jeez, that scared me..." Kirito said
"That's my line! I thought you were going to die." Asada said
"I... I am going to die." Kirito said
Asada get's close to him. Kirito was about hold her face but she didn't want it. The three of them look at Shinkawa.
"Is he okay?" Kirito said
Asada walk's to him and touches his hand slowly.
"It looks like he is. Anyways, thanks for coming you two." Asada said
"No, in the end, I wasn't able to do anything. And were sorry were late. Are you hurt" Kirito said
"Don't be shy." Sonic said
Asada look's at them and look's at the floor. She was shaking and crying a little. Kirito and Sonic get up close to her and hold her shoulder.
*The Next Day*
Asada was at school just sitting down looking at the building. She then hears girls laughing. She look's to see the same girls that tried to rob her.
"Don't call me here and keep me waiting." Asada said
"Asada, you've been a little cocky lately, haven't you?"
"Yeah, it's a bit much, isn't it?"
They walk closer to her.
"It's fine. We're friends. But of course, if we're in trouble, you'll help us, right? For now, 20,000 yen will be enough. Lend it to me." Endou said
Asada take's off her glasses.
"I told you before. I'm not lending you any money." Asada said
"I seriously did get it from my brother today. Do what you want." Endou said
Endou take's out a real gun and point's it at Asada.
"He told me to sure I never pointed it at anyone... But you're fine, aren't you? You're used to it. Now cry. Kneel and apologize!" Endou demaned
Asada blood rate was going fast and started having flashbacks of the person she killed. Endou pulled the trigger but it didn't worked. She try's pulling it again but nothing.
"What's with this thing?" Endou said
She keep's trying to pull the trigger. Asada then walk's up to her and grab's her Endou's wrist.
"Ow!"
Asada take's the gun away from her and look's at it.
"A Government 1911, huh? Your brother has good taste. Not my preference. Most guns require you to take the safety off first." Asada said
Asada point's the gun at a can. She hold's still and pull's the trigger. The bullet hit's the can and fall's down at the ground. Asada took a breath. Asada look's at the three of them.
"C-Crap..." Endou scared
"It's dangerous to point it at anyone." Asada said giving the gun back to Endou
"Here you go." Asada walking away
Endou knee's down at the ground. The two other girls knee down as well.
"Are you okay? Endou?"
The three of them looked at Asada. Asada turn's around.
"Bye." Asada looking at them and walking away
When Asada was far enough. She hold's on the wall and breath's heavily.
"This is my first step..." Asada said
Asada continue's walking like nothing ever happened.
*At The School Entrance*
Asada was about to leave threw the school entrance. Before she did, she saw Kirito and Sonic leaning back on Kirito's motorcycle. The two of them were just talking to each other about some stuff nothing personalj
"Asada! Who are those two?" A girl said
"Is that your boyfriend with his blue pet?" Another girl said
Asada leave's the school and walk's toward's Kirito and Sonic as they were talking to eachother.
"Hey! I told you we could me, but what are you two doing somewhere so obvious?" Asada said
The two of them stoppe talking and looked at her.
"Yo." Kazuto said
"Hey." Sonic said
"Hey there, Sinon." Kirito said
Asada got mad at them both.
*Information On What's Going On*
"After what happened, Shinkawa Kyouji and his brother, Shouichi, were arrested. Shouchi's testimony made the existence of anotjer conspirator clear. The thrid Death Gun, Kanamoto Atsushi, is still on the run, but Kikuoka says it's only a mayer of time until he's caught. Death Gun began when Shouichi purchased a cape, which could make you invisible, in a real-money trade. Using that cape and binoculars, Shouichi began to fanatically collect other players' information. Meanwhile, his brother, Kyouji, was having trouble leveling his character." Kazuto explaining everything
*FlashBack*
"The idea the agility is the only stat that matters is only an illusion."
*End Of FlashBack*
"Spiegal was an AGI type, and he hated Zexceed for previously saying that AGI was the most important stat, while he shifted to STR/VIT-based build. When Shouchi heard this, he told Kyouki Zexceed's real name and address, and the two of them discussed how to kill him. Even so, they say that at first they weren't serious. But as they debated for days and days, the plan began to seem increasingly realistic. At last, they settled on stealing a dangerous drug and a master key, used for opening doors in emergencies, from their dad's hospital. They carefully researched their targets, focusing on people who lived alone, in places with weak security. Shouchi used this master code to enter the house of Zexceed, AKA Shigemura. They settled on a time to kill Shigemura's character. Kyouji logged in, using his brother's character, "Sterben." He called himself "Death Gun," and attacked Zexceed with a gun. The second victim, Lightly Salted Tarako, was killed in a near-identical manner. But GGO players didn't get scared of Death Gun. They treated it as a joke. The perpetrators became infuriated, and decided to kill three different players in the BoB tournament. Their targets were players who met the same conditions as the other murders, Pale Rider, Garrett, and Sinon." Kazuto explaining a lot of info
*At A Restaurant*
Kikuoka, Kazuto, Sonic and Sinon were all talking on what's happening.
"But there was a big problem with killing mutiple people." Kazuto said
"That's right. A partner needed to be at the target's house. When the killing took place." Kikouka said
"And that's when a third partner, Kanamoto, was brought in." Kazuto said
"You could say Kanamoto was an old friend of Shouchi's. In SAO, they were members of the same guild. His character name was Johnny Black. Do you and Sonic remember him?" Kikuoka said
"That was a long time ago." Sonic said
"A poison knife user who paired with Zaza." Kazuto said
"Kanamoto's house was near Pale Rider's and Garrett's, so he took them. Kyouji took Sinon. Until now, Shouichi had been doing the killings, but this time, Kyouji insisted." Kikouka said
"Um... Did you hear that from Shinkawa... I mean, from Kyouji?" Asada said
"No, this is based on his brother's testimony. Kyouji is keeping silent." Kikouka said
"Oh..."
Kikouka take's out his tablet.
"By the way, about Shinkawa Shouichi. Since he was little, he's had a weak constitution. His father gave up on him early, and decided that his younger brother, Kyouji, would take over the hospital." Kikuoka said
*FlashBack*
"There's no problem, instructor!"
*End Of Flashback*
"Even so, it seems like the two of them got along well. But Shouichi got into MMORPGs. And in 2022, he became a prisoner of Sword Art Online." Kikuoka said
Kazuto and Sonic both got a little angry.
"When Shouichi came back, Kyouji was the one person he told... About how he'd been feared as a real murderer in that world. To Kyouji, his brother seemed like a hero. Shouichi says that everything about Death Gun plan, including the murders, was a game. That there was no difference between it and how, in SAO, they'd research their targets, ready their equipment, and carry out attacks." Kikuoka said
"The dark side of virtual MMOs, maybe. Reality starts to seem less real." Kazuto said
"As for you... What about your reality?" Kikuoka
Kazuto look's at the window.
"It's ture that there are things I left in that world. And that, because of it, there's less of me here now... I think." Kazuto said
"Do you ever think you want to go back?" Kikuoka said
"Don't ask that. It's in bad taste." Kazuto said
"But Kirito... What you just said is different than what you said earlier." Asada said
"Huh"
"You said there was no such thing as a virtual world. That wherever you are is reality. Right now, the world i'm in... The world is my only reality. Even if the were a virtual world, I think it would still be reality to me." Asada said
"I see... You're right. What Sinon just said may be the one truth of any worth in this whole thing." Kazuto said
Asada hit's him.
"Don't tease me!" Asada said
"You're quite right. At the moment, that's all I know. Any questions?" Kikuoka said
"Well... What's going to happen to Kyouji?" Asada said
"From the way they act and what they say, they're likely to be sent to a medical reformatory. Those two don't actially have a "reality." Kikuoka said
"No, I don't think that's ture. I don't know anything about his brother, but to Kyouji, reality was inside Gun Gale Online. He abandoned everything in this world, and decided that GGO was his reality. He did hours of painful and boring grinding for experience every day, trying to be the best. I'm sure he was under a ton of stress." Asada sakd
"Stress in a game? But isn't that confusion of reality what a game is supposed to accomplish?" Kikuoka said
"Yes, I think Kyouji got this world and that one mixed up." Asada said
"But why?" Kikuoka said
"I don't know that. Kirito, do you?" Asada said
"Because he wanted to be stronger." Kazuto said
"More stronger inside the game." Sonic said
"Yes, I was that way. Maybe every virtual MMO player is the same way. They just want to be stronger. Kikuoka, I'm going to see him. I'd like to see him and tell him what I've thought so far, and what I think now." Asada said
"You're a strong person. Please do. When he's allowed to have visitors, I'll semd you an e-mail message. I'm sorry, but I have to go." Kikuoka said
"Yeah, sorry to take up your time." Kazuto said
"Yeah, hope you didn't have stuff to do that were important." Sonic said
"Um, thank you." Asada said
"No, it was my fault that you three were in danger. I need to do at least this much." Kikuoka said
Kikuoka get's up from his chair but say's something to Kirito and Sonic.
"Oh, right, Kirito and Sonic... Death Gun... No, Red-eyed Zaza, AKA Shinkawa Shouichi, gave me a message for you two. Of course, you have no responsibility to hear it. What will you do?"
They both looked at Asada.
"Will hear it." Kazuto said
"No matter what it says." Sonic said
"Okay, then." Kikuoka said
Kikuoka take's out the letter and open's it. He start's reading it.
"*Clear's thoart* "This isn't the end. You don't have the power to end it. You two will be made to realize this soon. It's show time." That is all." Kikouka reading the letter to them
"Wow. He is just getting started." Sonic said
*Later*
Kikuoka was waving bye to them as he walking away. The three of them were just looking at him.
"Um, Sinon?" Kazuto said
"What?" Asada said
"Are you free after this?" Kazuto said
"I don't really have any plans..." Asada said
"Could you hurry up, People are looking right at me." Sonic said
*At The Dicey Cafe*
The three of them finally made it to Dicey Cafe. Asada get's off Kazuto's motorcycle. Kazuto turn's off his motorcycle and get's off. Sonic walk's next to them as he followed them with his speed.
"Is this where you wanted to take me?" Asada said
"Yeah. I wanted to introduce you to someone." Kazuto said
Kazuto open's the door of the cafe.
"You're late. While I was waiting, I ate two pieces of apple pie. If I get fat, it's your fault." Rika said
"Why?" Kazuto said
"Don't blame us." Sonic said
The three of them walked inside the cafe.
"Great to see you again Sonic." Agil said
"Yea. It's been a while hasen't it." Sonic said
"Introduce me, Kirito." Asuna said
"O-Oh, right... This is third champion of Gun Gale Online, Sinon AKA Asada Shino." Kazuto introducing Asada for them
"S-Stop it."
Rika and Asuna bith get mad.
"A-And these are my friemd from SAO. Lisbeth, AKA Shinozaki Rika, the rip-off blacksmith." Kazuto said
"What? What did you say?" Rika said
Rika ran up to Kazuto as she was about to punch him until Kazuto moved away from as she fell down at the floor.
"Wow. You haven't changed a bit." Sonic said
"Shut up!" Rika said
"Anyway, That's the berserk healer, Asuna, AKA Yuuki Asuna." Kazuto said
"Th-That's mean..." Asuna said
"Ow..." Rika on the floor
"Anyway, take a seat." Kazuto said
The three of them took a seat. Along with Asuna and Rika.
*Later*
"Sterben... It wasn't "Steven," was it? A word used by hospitals for "death." I wonder what he was thinking when he named himself that." Asada said
"It's better not to look for more meaning than there is in a name. You'll lose sight of a lot more than you notice." Asuna said
"Ooh, pretty smart. Coming from someone who uses their real name for their character, it sounds persuasive..." Rika said
"I heard that." Sonic said
Asuna and Rika were pushing eachother around.
"Don't say that!" Asuna said
"Sorry, Sorry!" Rika said
Asada gave a little smile at them. They both stopped fighting.
"Anyway, I'm happy to meet a female VRMMO player in real life." Rika said
"Yeah. Please be our friend, Asada." Asuna said
Asada didn't talk but looked at the floor. Kazuto and Sonic both looked at Asuna.
"Listen, Asada... Sinon. There's a reason we asked you here today." Asuna said
"A reason?" Asada said
"Sinon, Sonic and I need to apologize to you first. We told Asuna and Liz about what happened to you long ago." Kazuto said
"Huh?"
"We needed their help." Kazuto said
"Sinon, we actually went to the town where you used to live." Asuna said
"What? Why did you..." Asada getting up from table
Kazuto and Sonic both grabbed her by the wrist.
"Because we thought you hadn't met the person you needed to meet, or heard the words you needed to hear. It may hurt you, But we couldn't just ignore you." Kazuto said
"The person I needed to meet? The words I needed to hear?" Asada said
Asada look's to see Rika opening a door. It was a mother with her young mother. They both sit down with Kazuto and Asada.
"Sonic, Can you please give us a little alone time. Not trying to be mean to you or anything." Kazuto whisper's
"It's ok. I was about to get up anyway." Sonic whisper's
Sonic stand's up and walk's toward's Asuna as she was standing. The both of them wre just standing up looking at them.
"Um, who are you?" Asada said
"Hello. You're Asada Shino, right? My name is Oosawa Sachie. This is Mizue. She's four." Sachie introducing her self and her daugther
No response from Asada.
"Before she was born, I worked at the post office." Sachie said
"Huh?"
Asada get's a flashback of the robber pointing the gun at lady. She get's more shock that the lady was her. Sachie.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Shino. I should have come to see you earlier. I neve apologized. Or thanked you." Sachie crying a little
"When it happened, I was pregnant with her. So, Shino, you not only saved my life, but hers, as well. Thank you... Thank you so much. Thank you." Sachie thanking Asada so much
"Saved your life?" Asada said
"Sinon, you've always blamed yourself. You've tried to punish yourself. I won't say that's wrong. But at the same time, you have the right to think about the lives you saved. You have the right to think about them and forgive yourself. I want you... I want..." Kirito tearing up
Sonic walk's toward's him and pat's him in the back.
"There there Kazuto." Sonic said
Mizue walk's up to Asada. She take's out something out of her and and show's it to Asada. To Shino. It was a drawing that she made. Asada slowly grab's the drawing from her.
"Shino, thanks for saving Mom and me!" Mizue thanking her
Asada hold's the drawing tight as tear's fell down her face and onto the paper. Mizue hold's on to Asada hand. Mizue was smiling at her, Asada smiled back. They both put both there hands together.
