Save 5: Leveling Up to Level 3

I do not own Kamen Rider or Sword Art Online


In the Seito Hospital in the room, Yui was laying on her bed sleeping, with her, Emu sitting down on a chair with a worried expression. He sees Yui sleeping all day and she still hasn't woken up yet.

He rethinks what happened with the Black Ex-Aid in his new form.


(Flashback)

"He took them away…he took my mommy and daddy away…" Yui sobs as she hugs Emu, in flashback.

"TELL ME! WHY WOULD YOU TAKE HER PARENTS AWAY!? WHY! WHAT DO THEY HAVE TO DO!? TELL ME!" Emu exclaimed in anger in flashback.

The black Ex-Aid still says nothing as he turns around and walks away from them.


(Flashback ended)

"Yui," he muttered, tilting his head down and clutching his fist. "Why would he take her parents, what does he have against them?" he wondered.

"Intern" he startled before turning his head and seeing Hiiro by the door. "Y-Yes, Hiiro."

"Meeting VRMMORPG at ALO, the examiner wants to talk to all of us, even him," Hiiro said before walking off, Emu knows what he is talking about as the Examiner is Kiriya. After tricking him a few days ago, he wonders what he wants to talk about.

But he decided to log in and see what he wants to talk about. Emu heads to one of the rooms, lays down and places a headset, AmuSphere, on his head. He waited for the load and the settings were all set.

"Link Start!" Emu shouted and dived in.

In a room with fancy lighting, soon someone appeared as Emu but with red hair, pointy ears and dark skin, wearing dark red cloth and red armour. This is an Avatar character in ALO as a Salamander with his name Ex-Aid after his Rider name.

Soon more appeared as Hiiro came with his hair similar but cyan, wearing a white coat with light blue. He is an Undine with his name Brave.

Taiga appeared as if he was wearing all black and a black cloak with a hoodie. He is a Spriggin under the name of Snipe, he dislikes the game because it is all about fairies.

And finally was Kiriya as he has dark gold hair, with cat ears and a tail, and he has yellow armour on his shoulder and arms. He is a Cait Sith under the name of Lazer.

"Good, you all here!" Lazer said happily but Ex-Aid, Brave, and Snipe seemed to be concerned about ever coming here, he sat down as did everyone else. "Now let's talk down to business," he said.

"Make it quick, I don't wanna be with an unlicensed doctor around," Brave said as he was talking about Snipe.

"Oh please, you being here is the last place I'd be" Snipe snorted. "Just get over it."

"Okay, let's start with this" Lazer pulls out a screen and shows it to them as they see an orange glitch they all recognize. "Is that?" Brave asked.

"Okay first off, you all heard about Dan Kuroto sending you all the new Gashat, using them we will place them in the second slot and will be gaining level 3" Lazer explained in this meeting, he pulled out a screen and shows them the image of the new Gashats: orange, red, neon yellow, and black.

"Interesting" Snipe smiled looking at the new Gashat as they will be his one day

"Level 3" Ex-Aid muttered remembering that black Ex-Aid using the Shakariki Sports he managed to level up to Level 3 form.

"Unfourtonly, those Gashat were stolen yesterday" This got every doctor shocked at what that Cath Sith player said, footage of a hooded man breaking into Genm Corporation.

"That Genm Corporation should've beefed up security" Snipe sneered.

"Like that gonna happen when you have all of the Gashat back. Will make sure to get them back in the right hands, as if you would use them" Brave glares at him as so did Snipe.

"Okay on to the next subject," Lazer explains to the next one. "It might be troubling but it would appear that some of the Bugster Viruses are starting to seep into VRMMO games as well, which means the Bugster is entering the VR World".

"The Bugster is now infecting VRMMORPG! Now they'll attack anyone in there! " Ex-Aid gasped in worry.

"Hhmm, this is gonna be a lot tough, the Bugster will infect anyone in any game," Brave said cupping his chin.

"Tck, it doesn't matter, I'll crush any Bugster who stands in my way, and take all of your Gashat" Snipe started leaning on the chair.

"Were there any games that were infected?" Brave asked.

"Just two: Alfheim Online, and Gun Gale Online, these two games were infected four weeks ago," Lazer explained.

Ex-Aid narrowed his eyes as that four weeks he met Yui.


Opening playing Excite by Daichi Miura

The music starts as the word 'GAME START' appears.

(I gotta believe!) the camera circling around, focuses on Ex-Aid who's kneeling on the ground in a circuit room. Before he stands up with his right arm up with the title screen appeared.

Ex-Aid: Gaming Chronicle

(I don't wanna know. Beta na shinjitsu nara) A pink gashat flew in the air before Emu caught it as the camera shows him up and and the back at the background, moving his right arm to the left-side.

(I don't wanna know. Shiranai kurai ga ii no nj. Why? Why? Why? Why?) Yui stands in a room before she turns and sees her parents, but it was all a hallucination. The scene changed to Emu surrounded medical displays, before he suddenly fainted as he fell with his body disappearing with pixelation, causing Yui to see him disappear with tears coming out of her eyes.

(Kizukeba I came too far) Emu reappeared in the background as he looked and saw at a tv showing his right-side of his face. It glitch a few times before Emu smiles on the screen.

(Tomaranai kanjiro kono yokan wa. The new beginning) the scene changes as Emu walks up at the camera, as the background Hiiro, Taiga, and Kiriya walk behind him as they only show them at the back. The scene cut from Hiiro, Taiga, Kiriya, including Kuroto. Then the camera focuses on Emu whu activated the Pink Gashat with a pink wave surrounding the area and cube floating out from the large title screen behind him.

(Michi no ryouiki ima wo kiri-hirakun da) Kuroto stands behind the Tv before leaving as it shows clips of Hiiro and Taiga transforming each. The camera shows Sugaha leaning forward on the tv, as Keiko and Rika stands right beside her and Ryotaro, and Shino standing behind the tv as it shows Kiriya transfomering before Emu appeared.

(I gotta believe. Turn it up) the scene shows all four doctors before transforming into their level 1 form with the camera circles around before focusing on belt up close as the pink lever opened.

(Sotou EXCITE! EXCITE! Takanaru EXCITE! EXCITE! Kokoro ga michibiki ano basho e) the battle begins as Ex-Aid jumps in the air and lands an attack at Brave, as he swings his sword Snipe, he manages to dodge before shooting his gun at the camera. Then Ex-Aid jumps on to Lazer and rides down as they pass through Sword Art Online, Alfheim Online, and Gun Gale Online.

(Kake-nukete iku dake) Emu stands at the building as the background is the city at day. Before the scene changed to Paradox standing at a building as the background is the city at night as he spread a Bugster Virus from his hand.

({Hey} I'm on a mission right now! {Hey} I'm on a mission right now!) This scene shows Ex-Aid standing in the middling riding Lazer, Brave at the left side, and Snipe stand on the right side as they all pose. As a mysterious black Ex-Aid appeared, standing in front of Ex-Aid.

(EXCITE! EXCITE! Kotae wa. EXCITE! EXCITE! Kotae wa) the two Ex-Aid clash together as the scene changes focusing on Ex-Aid as the camera circles around him with a screen surrounding the area. Then Yui runs up the stairs as she sees her parents and tries to reach out with her hand.

({One} kono te no naka {Two} susumu beki life {three} ikteku dake) the show each posed of Ex-Aid before finally the title screen appeared when Ex-Aid appeared behind it, he pose gripping his fist at the end.


"Kir-I mean Lazer, what exactly do you want to talk about?" Ex-Aid asked.

"It's about Yui" This got Emu gasp when he mentioned her name.

"What about Yui?" he asked once more.

"Well, I don't know what to say, but I don't think this girl Yui existed" Lazer as everyone was confused about what he meant by that.

"What do you mean she doesn't exist?" Ex-Aid asked.

"Well, I'm the hospital examiner. We all know that I checked up on Yui's birth and month. There is no record of even that this girl existed, it's as if she was just appearing just now," Lazer explained seriously about Yui.

"So your say, is that this girl might not be human after all" Brave said to the fact the entire time Yui is not what she seems.

"No, we can't do that!" Ex-Aid shouted denying.

"I didn't when I was spying on you, that girl appeared out of nowhere, it is a little suspicious for her" Snipe points out remembering the first day Emu and Yui first met. "Let's just face it, she is a Bugster."

"If it is, there is only one option, put this girl into lockdown quarantine cut from the outside" Brave suggested.

"No, we can't jump to that conclusion just yet, she doesn't seem to remember. Yui knows that black Ex-Aid, I think there is a connection between them, please I need to know I'm her doctor," Ex-Aid asked them.

The doctor was silent while thinking about what he suggested as Ex-Aid was worried that this won't convince them. "Well ... .if you say so, will give time by the end of the day" Lazer agrees, shocking everyone.

"You're agreeing with him after everything you pull to find the truth," Brave said as he knew of his true attention and how got his Gashat and game Driver.

"Well, if it's true then she might know of the identity of the black Ex-Aid getting in our way, so I say we give him until tomorrow then we will do something to her" Lazer explained to both doctors of Brave and Snipe.

But Brave was still thinking, crossing his arms and looking at the floor while Snipe closed his eyes as if he didn't care at all. Then Brave tilted his head back up and looked at Ex-Aid. "Fine, you got until tomorrow if not, we need to lock her up in quarantine and replace a different Doctor for you" he replied seriously.

As Ex-Aid nodded to him but was worried about what Brave said.


(In the real world)

Emu walked downtown the streets to get some fresh air, he was concerned about Yui as Hiro and the others would put her into lockdown quarantine. "Ah man, what am I gonna do, if I don't get anything else to save Yui she's gonna be locked up for good and get replaced" Emu muttered to himself worriedly he has no idea where to start, Yui was still unconscious so that's gonna help.

"I gotta find a way to make them believe she isn't an enemy" he wondered how.

Just then he notices a man collapsing to the ground and hears him in pain. "Hey, are you okay?" Emu asks as the man collapses to the ground, he rushes up to him, crouching down and checking on his condition. "Sir! Don't worry I'm a doctor, I'll take care of you" he said, taking out his stethoscope and checking on the screen as a flame picture is on it.

"He's infected by a Bugster," Emu muttered as he put his stethoscope down. He checked on the man's condition with a flame on it. But then he froze as Emu recognized that face as he was on the footage Lazer showed, he is the thief that stole the new Gashat.

Elsewhere Kiriya walked down the park before noticing someone there. "Hey, that's" he muttered, intrigued before following that person.

Back with Emu as he was in the care of the thief, just then he heard someone coming and he looked and saw a black monster with a red armour chest and a red arm with a claw.

"Wait, a Bugster" Emu gasps before checking the thief. "It's already separated from him? But that Bugster looks different?" He noticed the other Bugsters he faced. He then noticed something on its forehead, it was a red Gashat that was stolen by the thief, as the label has a picture of two red robots, and the title 'Gekitotsu Robots' on it.

"Wait, that one of the Gashats that were stolen, it's Gekitotsu Robots" Emu recognized the game of robot fighting that was released in 2007.

Then Hiiro appears and rushes over to the thief and grabs him by the collar. "Where is the Gashat you stole!" he demanded.

"Hiiro! We have another problem, that Bugster has one and he's infected!" Emu shouted this shocked the genius doctor looking at the hooded thief and then the black Bugster with the Gekitotsu Robot Gashat.

Hiiro looks at the thief but he focuses on the Gekitotsu Robot Bugster, both of them place their Game Driver on and activate their personal Gashat.

"MIGHTY ACTION X!"

"TADDLE QUEST!"

Two holographic scenes appear with the area covered in pink and blue digital energy as well as a brown box of chocolate and treasure chest scattering.

As Emu did his pose, Hiiro moved his right arm to his left side.

"Henshin!" Both doctors called out in unison, inserting their Gashat into their Driver.

"GASHATTO!"

"GASHATTO!"

"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! METCHA GAME! MUTCHA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME!? I'M A KAMEN RIDER!"

The two doctors chase their character from the selection holographic screen, both of them before Kamen Riders LVL 1.

"Dai-Henshin!" Ex-Aid shouted, pointing with his right arm pointed upright and pulling the lever.

"Proceeding with level 2," Brave said before pulling the lever.

"GACCHA! LEVEL UP!"

"MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION X!"

The rectangular gate passed through Ex-Aid as he went up to level 2 form.

"GACCHA! LEVEL UP!"

"TADDLE MEGURU! TADDLE MEGURU! TADDLE QUEST!"

The rectangular gate passed through Brave as he too went up to level 2 form.

The two Rider charges in the black Bugster raises its fist as the boosters rocket ignites and launches its red metal claw at them. Brave notice and raising his left arm to shield he and Ex-Aid were hit by the shockway and collapsed to the ground in pain from that attack.

"Man, that Gekitotsu Robot Game!" Ex-Aid groaned this game is about Robot fighting to steal.

"It's powerful.." Brave noted.

With the claw reattached back into its hand Ex-Aid and Brave get up and charge at it again. But then the black Ex-Aid appears, knocking them back down.

"You!" Ex-Aid shouted at the black Ex-Aid as well as remembering what happened with Yui now he is gonna find out now.

"Why are you stopping us?" Brave demands to know.

The black Ex-Aid doesn't reply and attacks both Riders and overpowers them by deflecting, he kicks Brave to the stomach and then swings the game console in saw mode the pink Rider dodge it.

"Tell you where Yui's parents are!" Ex-Aid demands.

"Who are you!" Brave wants to know his real identity by taking his Gashato Sword, pressing the b button three times and swinging down at the Black Ex-Aid back.

The black Ex-Aid backed away from them, he took out the neon green Gashat Shakariki Sports and activated it.

"SHAKARIKI SPORTS!"

The holographic screen appears and neon green surrounds the area.

"GACHON! GASHATTO! GACCHA! LEVEL UP!"

"MIGH~TY ACTIO~N X! A GACHA! SHAKARIKI! SHAKARIKI! BAD BAD! SHAKA to RIKI to SHAKARIKI SPORTS!"

The neon green bicycle appears and turns into armour as the face mask of a flame bicycle helmet.

Both Riders were cautious of his next move, the black Ex-Aid took out the bicycle tire on his right and tossed it, the wheel flew at them striking them with purple flames and sending them flying up and back down.

Ex-Aid stands up only to see both the black Ex-Aid and the Bugster disappear. "He is gone. Damn it!" he growled in anger slamming his fist at the ground, leaving him not getting the answer from him.

"GACHON! GASHUN!"

Both of them reverted to their normal state and let out their breath.

"Why is he helping the Bugsters?" Hiiro wants to know why the Black Ex-Aid appeared and get in their way and sided with the Bugster.

Emu was disappointed that the Black Ex-Aid got away and he didn't get the answer he wanted about the connection between Yui and her parents.

"Yo Emu!" Then he heard someone familiar and it was Kiriya.

"Kiriya!" Emu shouted pointing his finger, remembering the last time they worked together only to be used, Kiriya approached him.

"About the thief, you don't have to look for him," he said.

"Now what do you want?" Emu said of an unpleasant meeting with the man that used him.

"Oh come on it was all in the past," Kiriya smiled, Emu was still not buying his trust. "Okay I'm sorry, are you happy now?" he said just as Hiiro joins them and asks what the examiner has to say. "Anyways, I'll share some more juicy info with you. I know who the Black Ex-Aid is."


(Flashback)

Kiriya was hiding behind the tree and saw everything as the Black Ex-Aid transformed with the examiner.


(Flashback ended)

This completely shocked the two doctors as Kiriya knew who the Black Ex-Aid identity was. "Are you sure it is him?!" Emu asked.

"Who is he?!" Hiiro demands to know the identity of the Black Ex-Aid.

"It's that thief who stole the Gashat in the process of making" Kiriya replied, shocking the doctors as that thief is the Black Ex-Aid and helping the Bugsters. But why?


Soon they all return to the Seito Hospital University. Emu and Hiiro were sitting down at the table after a hard day. Just then someone special came, surprising Emu as it was none other than Dan Kuroto the Ceo of Genm Industries.

"Mr. Ceo!" Emu recognized him with excitement to see the man that made Mighty Action X, Taddle Quest, and many more games.

"You must be Dr. Hojo Emu, right?" Kuroto asked as he shook his hand at him.

"Nice to meet you."

"I've heard all about you," he said. "I also heard of you taking care of a special girl that has been with CR for a while?"

"Yeah, that Yui," Emu nodded before looking at the floor. "Unfortunately she still hasn't woken up yet."

"My apologies, I hope she gets well" he apologized. "Anyways, I heard you found out who that Black Ex-Aid is?" Kuruto asked about the black Ex-Aid identity.

"It's the man that stole from the Gashats" Emu replied, talking about the thief that stole the Gashat as the Bugster managed to use it.

"Then, please secure him and retrieve the Gashats!" Kuruto ordered him and Hiro to retrieve the stolen Gashats from him.

"Yes, but…..he's suffering from the game illness, I'm sure he still needs our help!" Emu suggested saving him from the Bugster Virus.

Of what he said, Hiiro spoke up. "That man is a criminal," he said harshly.

"Even so, he is still worth saving!" Emu shouted at him.

"Have you forgotten what that man did? He stole all those Gashat" Hiiro then grabbed Emu by the collar. "But also your Gashat was taken by Taiga Hanaya the last that happened!" he reminded him of what happened when he made a deal with Taiga and lost his Gashat to him. "I'm sick and tired of your idealism!"

Emu shocks Hiiro's hand away. "A criminal life is still worth saving! That's what being a doctor is all about!" he hollered back at him before leaving the room. Kuroto was silent before thinking of what he said.

Up in the hospital room trying to clear his mind up. "Wanting to save your patients is a doctor's natural duty and unstinted" Emu heard Kuruto's voice as he turned and saw him here. "But I'm gonna have to agree with Hiiro, we have obligations that come before saving a criminal," He said approaching Emu.

"Do you really have to think there are patients we can choose to ignore? I don't care if they did bad things, their life is worth saving! I can't just leave that patient to suffer alone!" Emu spoke out of not abandoning anyone even if they are criminals.

"You're like a crystal in the sense" Kuruto smiled after hearing that. "Your heart reflects the hearts of your patients. One that shines with a soft, kind light."

"But in the end, you worry too much as not all patients are kind people. There could be a patient who takes advantage of you, that may crush your crystal to dust, destroying that light" he explained seriously to anyone out there.

"Even so, I would rather that than regret not stepping in to save everyone!" he steps up to Kuroto before heading off.

Emu soon headed into Yui's room before he walked in, he saw her awake now, staring at the window view. "Yui!" he said as this got her attention, and she smiled.

"Emu," she said smiling.

"So Yui, do you remember what happened?" he asked, wondering if she remembered when she was in a panic with the Black Ex-Aid.

As her smile disappeared tilting her head down and trying to remember what happened a week ago, she looked up at Emu and answered. "No, I don't remember everything" she replied as she doesn't remember the Black Ex-Aid who is connected to Yui's Mom and Dad.

Emu sighs as he was black to square one he look at the window and see it was about to get dark soon, Yui will be in quarantine from the outside world as well as replacing with a better Doctor, Emu was running out of time tilting his head down and his hands on his forehead.

"Emu? Is something wrong?" Yui asked him if he was worried.

"I don't know what to do," he muttered and replied as he could not tell her she was in quarantine and he was replacing her with a different doctor.

"Please don't be sad, no matter what you'll find my mommy and daddy, I know it" Yui encourages him.

Emu was surprised by what Yui said as he stared at her and she smiled at him. "Alright, there's not much time, but one day I'll find your parents and get you home!" he declared.

"Home…home" Yui muttered as her eyes went dull orange glitches and pixelation appeared on her body.

"Yui?" Emu notices as he sees her body covered in the Bugster virus. "Yui! Please calm down! Calm down!" He grabbed her arms and tried to calm her down.

"Log ... .house…..K4…twenty two... .floor of…..ALO…Ain.." Yui muttered before fainting and falling on the pillow.

"Yui?" Emu muttered seeing Yui fainted he sighs worried about what happened. "Man, that again. Don't worry, I'll find your parents" he muttered before remembering what Yui muttered out of her mouth. "Loghouse, K4, twenty-two, the floor of…..ALO, Alfheim Online?" he blinked in confusion, cupping his chin and humming in wonder about ALO, and why there?

Emu soon heads into the room with Atmosphere headsets, and lays down on the bed, placing his headset on. "Link start" he logged into the VRMMO world and enters Alfhiem Online as Ex-Aid.


Ex-Aid was soaring in the blue sky with his red wing crossing through clouds and the sun beaming. Soon he stops as the Salamander player hovers and looks up front and sees a massive metallic oval shape with sword-like pillared around the side and at the top is a castle. This is New Aincard.

He looks at it, remembering Aincard of a hundred floors. He also remembers that this location used to be in a game that trapped thousands of players for two years, the Salamander player flew there and soon headed to floor twenty-two.

Flying there, Ex-Aid soon arrived at the floor as he was in a grassy field area, he sat down on the hillside and let out a sigh.

"Log ... .house…..K4…twenty two... .floor of…..ALO…Ain…Mommy…Daddy" Yui's voice echoed in Ex-Aid head.

"Yui" he muttered, frowning wondering what she said when she said one of them was ALO meaning Alfheim Online. "What are you trying to say?" he wondered. "And what does ALO have to do with your parent's disappearance?" he flies over to Aincrad.

Elsewhere on the field, a grassy rock monster nearby and sees it looks like it is in a battle with a few players.

One was a red-haired man with red spiked-up hair and a goatee. Wearing a blue and red flame robe on his left side, a bandana around his head, samurai armour around his torso, a white robe, brown boots, and a black glove. He is a Salamander just like Ex-Aid.

The other one is a little girl with light brown hair tied into a twin-tail with red ribbon, and red eyes. She has cat-like ears and a tail. Wearing a blue robe with golden yellow lining, silver breastplate, black skirt and long socks with lining, and blue shoes. Like Lazer, she is a Cait Sith.

There was also another girl that is a Cait Sith with sky-blue short hair, sky-blue eyes, cat ears and a tail. Wearing a green robe with his left arm sleeve, armour chest, choker neck, black shorts, and shoes.

The next one was a girl with pink short hair and freckles on her cheeks. Wearing a red shield with puff shoulder sleeves, white pants, brown belt, a white robe covering the side waist, brown boots, armour chest, left shoulder, gauntlets, and side waist. She must be a Leprechaun

And the last one is a girl with blond long hair tied in a ponytail with a flower shape headband and green bright eyes. Wearing a green and white robe with her chest exposed, a white collar, a gold ring on his wrist, a brown corset, a light brown belt, white short pants to the knee, white socks, and a brown blend with the white. She is a Sylph.

The Salamander man swings his katana then the Leprechaun, swings down her mace surging with lightning.

Then the Cait Sith girl lets out a battle crying, waving her dagger and straight stabbing the grass rock monster, but then it quickly grabs her by the leg and catches her while she dangled. Cait let out a cry for help while holding her skirt up to avoid the Salamander man from looking at the Leprechaun girl, his eyes in irritation.

The blue Cait Sith girl aims her arrow and fires directly toward the eyes and roars in pain letting go of the Cait Sith girl as she falls.

Then the Sylph girl jumps in and swings her sword, slashing the grassy rock monster as it disappears in pixelation. She let out a cheer seeing the reward from his menu as the Salamander man high five her, while the Cait Sith girl sighed letting her guard down, Leprechaun girl patted her on the back cheering her up.

Then the Slyph girl frowns with sadness as she looks up at the hill with a concerned expression. "Kirito….." she muttered in worry.


In another place in the Town of Beginning in a dark alley, the Black Ex-Aid was there as he raises his black gamepad as the black Bugster, the Gekitotsu Robot Bugster before the orange particle as the black Bugster is out entering into the VRMMORPG.


The group was also there after beating the grassy floor as they all walked down the streets.

"Ah, man it happens again" the light brown Cath Sith sighs before the Leprechaun patted her on the back.

"Don't worry Silica, you get it right, if you don't get caught" the Leprechaun girl sneered as the Cath Sith girl pouted glaring at her.

"Oh cheer up, Liz is right, you're doing fine" the Salamander grinned encouraging her.

"Yeah, if you ever do something pervert Klein" the blue Cait Sith glares at him.

"Hey, I would never do that! She is only a kid!" The salamander known as Klein shouted at her in anger. As the Caith Sith Silica glares at him when she is fifteen years old as her body hasn't been developing as the Leprechaun Liz chuckled.

The only one who hadn't talked all day was Sylph who was frowning with sadness. "Hey, Leafa" the Sylph girl known as Leafa turns to the Cait Sith Silica. "Don't worry, Kirito will be fine, I just know it" she assures the Sylph girl trying to cheer her up but was still concerned about him.

"Yeah, even Asuna too, she will" Liz assures her too but still worries as well.

"Yeah, they'll be fine, they're tough" the blue Cait Sith.

"Sinon ... .everyone," she muttered of what they all said.

Just then they saw a few players passing by in a panic in fear and damage in the game. Leafa grabs one player's arm to ask questions. "Hey, what's wrong?" she asked.

"A monster managed to get into the Town of Beginning and it attacked everyone!" the player explained before running off. The group wondered before heading down there they had to the plaza and see multiple players being attacked by the Gekitotsu Robot Bugster.

"What the hell kind of monster is that?" Leafa wonders what that creature is.

"We might as well take that thing down before anyone else gets hurt," Klein suggested, unsheathing his katana as he and the others charged at it.

Elsewhere with Ex-Aid at the field before his menu pops up with a red blinking and noise alert. He presses it as a map of the game and sees the map of the Plaza with red dots and a black dot, the salamander player gets up and flies off.

Back in the place as the group tries to fend off the Gekitotsu Robots Bugster, the players manage to escape but the black Bugster was too strong as it deflected Leafa's sword and forced her away. Then Klein swings his katana but was not inflicted before getting a punch in the stomach and flies toward the wall. Silica and Liz were in the air swinging down their weapons while blue Cait Sith Sinon aimed her bow and fired her arrow. But none of their attacks were affected as Gekitotsu Robots Bugster sent them all damage.

The group was in pain as they tried to get back up but were badly injured as it approached Leafa raising it, she was standing there in fear. But then someone kicks it in the chest. Leafa looks and sees Ex-Aid.

"You okay?" he asked and helped her get back up.

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine" she replied.

"Listen, you need to leave, take your friend out of here," he tells them to leave.

"Why, just what is that thing!" Klein shouted in demand.

"A Bugster" They all turn and see Brave arriving. "And they're not Floor monsters or bosses, their viruses" This shocked Leafa, Klein and the rest of what he said. "We'll take it from here," he said as he scrolled down his menu and got out his Game Driver and placed it around his waist.

"Yeah, you player get out and leave it to me" They heard another voice and they saw Snipe who already has his Game Driver on, unknown to him, Sinon was glaring at him.

"Snipe?" Ex-Aid was surprised to see him as Brave wondered if the Ceo Dan Kuroto.

"I challenge you, Ex-Aid, Brave….." Snipe call out before noticing Lazer here. "And Lazer."

"I'll pass" Lazer declined his challenge. "You see. I have another appointment with someone else" he said as they all saw the black Ex-Aid in Level 3 form.

"I'll fight all of you" the black Ex-Aid spoke for the first time with his voice static.

"Interesting" Snipe smirked.

"I've got lots of questions for you," Lazer said.

But Ex-Aid is still concerned as he is the thief who is infected. "Wait a sec, he is still a patient and you want to fight him?!" he asked them if they wanna fight him as his life is endangered.

"Intern, your presence is not required here for this operation, thank you," Brave said sarcastically, he take out his Gashat from his storage and activated so did Snipe and Lazer.

"TADDLE QUEST!'

"BANGE BANG SHOOTING!

"BAKUSOU BIKE!"

The plaza was surrounded by blue, navy, and yellow digital energy with each title screen of their game behind them, treasure chest, barrel bin, and trophy scattered everywhere.

Leafa and the others were shocked by what happened and saw some of the games they recognized. Brave, Snipe, and Lazer all do their pose with their Gashat in their hands.

"Henshin," they all said in unison.

"GASHATTO!"

"GASHATTO!"

"GASHATTO!"

"LET'S GAME! METCHA GAME! MUTCHA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME!? I'M A KAMEN RIDER!"

As the holographic screen circles around as they all select their character with their body covered in digital pixelation and all of them transform into Kamen Rider LVL 1 forms. This shocked me when they saw in LVL 1 forms they look ridiculous and chubby.

"I'm coming for you!" Lazer charges at the black Ex-Aid as he takes out his bicycle wheel the two of them battle, landing each other attacks.

"Lazer stop it!" Ex-Aid shouted at him trying to stop fighting the black Ex-Aid.

"Second tactic," Snipe said before pulling the lever.

"GACCHA! LEVEL UP!"

"BA-BA-BANG! BANG BA-BANG (YOW) BANG BANG SHOOTING!"

"GACCHA! LEVEL UP!"

"TADDLE MEGURU! TADDLE MEGURU! TADDLE QUEST!"

Both Snipe and Brave pass through the holographic rectangle as they are in Level 2 form, shocking Leafa and the rest to see that the Gekitotsu Robot soon moves in.

"Mission start," Snipe said before firing his Gashacon Magnum, shooting it while Brave was in close combat with his Gashacon Sword.

But both attacks weren't damaging it at all, the Gekitotsu Robots Bugster repelled him, slamming its fist at his chest and launching its first, sending him flying as Brave screamed in pain before falling by a pillar.

Lazer and the black Ex-Aid were still fighting until the bike Rider said something to him. "Just so you know, I found out who you are," Lazer snickered as this shocked the quiet that he knew his identity.

The black Ex-Aid pushes Lazer before his tire is surrounded with purple energy and throws it flying toward the bike Rider attacks him as the wheel attacks Snipe and Brave they both shout out and collapse. All of their gauge decreeing: Brave only has one life, Snipe half, and Lazer.

"They're all getting their asses kicked," Klein was shocked.

"How come he is so strong?" Sinon wondered.

"Because he's in level 3" they all turn to Ex-Aid. "While everyone is in level 2, I'm afraid his level is different, he's stronger than the rest now" he explained. "Why is he doing this, we're trying to help!?"

The black Ex-Aid's first attack for knowing his identity he brutally strikes him with a kick, then he picks from the ground hitting him with his left knee to his chest, punching him, then jumping up hitting his face with his right knee finally he sidekicks him sending him flying.

"GASHUUN!"

His Gashat ejects out reverting to his avatar as his life gauge, he was the same as his Rider Form.

As for Gekitotsu Robots taking care of Brave and Snipe he launches his fist as Snipe dodge but impacted Brave

"GASHUUN!"

Brave reverted to his avatar as he took out his Gashat in time. "It's too risky," he groaned in pain.

Snipe looks around as if he is the only one standing. "All Gashats are mine!" he shouted declaring all Gashats are his faces, the Gekitotsu Robots Bugsters are alone as they knock him over with his fist Snipe aimed at this Gashacon Magnum shooting it to its chest.

As for the black Ex-Aid, he deals with Ex-Aid. "Why aren't you fighting? Fight me, Ex-Aid" he asked.

"Why are young people doing this? We're trying to cure you?" Ex-Aid shouted in concern about his sickness.

"I think you were mistaken about someone else," he said as appearing from an orange portal emerging through it the thief that stole the new Gashats.

This shocked Ex-Aid and Brave when the thief was here. "That man, he's not the black Ex-Aid" he gasped.

The thief took out something in his hand as he held the black game console in hand pressing the red A button and playing dark standby beats.

"That's the black Ex-Aid, why does he have it?!" Ex-Aid wonders why he has the black Ex-Aid black gamepad.

"Baiyo," he said, attaching it to his right grip in his hand.

"INFECTION! LET'S GAME! BAD GAME! DEADGAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME!? THE BUGSTER!"

His body is covered in green slime as his body was covered before it changed revealing to be Graphite.

"Bugster!?" Ex-Aid gasped as everyone was shocked that he turned into a monster.

"Graphite…" Snipe muttered looking at the ground. "So it was you!?" he hollered in rage and fired his Gashacon Magnum at him. This got Brave attention when his expression changed.

Graphite was immune to Snipe blasting, he charges in with his double fang sword striking the Snipper Rider as he fires he deflects his lasers and swings his double fang sword upwards he collapses.

"Dragon Fury" Graphite shouted as his double sword absorbed the energy of red lightning as he was about to unleash an attack on him.

"GACHON!"

Snipe reverted to his LVL 1 form as he jumps with his body surrounded by a bullet projection, Graphite swings down with a red X energy slash, he breaks through his attack but Graphite knocks him and he crashes into the wall.

"GASHUN!"

Snipe reverts to his avatar as he was damaged all of the Rider Brave, Lazer, and Snipe are out leaving only Ex-Aid. The black Ex-Aid grabbed Ex-Aid by the neck and lifted him, choking him. "The only ones to survive are the strong ones. That is what you should know. Genius Gamer M…" The black Ex-Aid said. "A doctor's ideals hold no value here" he continued to choke Ex-Aid as he let out a scream.

"I'm sick and tired of your idealism!" Hiiro shouted in flashback.

"Your crystal to dust, destroying that light," Kuroto said in flashback.

Ex-Aid shouted out loud in pain. "I don't get it…..who are you? Just what do you want?" he asked while trying to breathe.

Then the black Ex-Aid felt someone trying to push him and he look and saw a little girl. "Let go of him! Let go of Emu!" a familiar voice that Ex-Aid recognized he saw that was the most shocking of all, Yui ...here as this got Brave, Snipe, and Lazer surprised that Yui here.

"Wait…. Yui?!" Leafa muttered as she suddenly saw Yui.

"Wait a minute, that girl was with those two players we infected" Graphite recognized her as well this got Klein's attention.

"You" the black Ex-Aid remembers her the other week he tosses Ex-Aid to the ground and grabs Yui in the face as his body starts to glitch orange, shocking Leafa. Then he remembers now.


(Flashback)

A field with a tree as it covers in orange pixelation and glitches, there was also a log house where the black Ex-Aid swings his game couple as he faces off against a black clothing young man wielding a sword in hand.

The two of them deflect each other their attacks before the black clothing man his sword as he goes he charges at him slashing him and creating a square slash. The black Ex-Aid collapses to the ground before looking up and seeing the black clothing young man.

"You're the reason why this game has corrupted the game. Why?" he demanded to know.

"Just two. Her" Then he heard someone as the young man turned and saw someone he knew as a blue-haired young woman wearing white and blue lining clothing as she was being held from Graphite and a man leaning on her with blond hair. This angered him and he pulled out two swords until he was stuck in the black Ex-Aid. "And you," he said before the black-haired young man collapses. He didn't notice that Yui suddenly appeared. Graphite ran the blue-haired young woman to the ground next to the black-haired man.

The black Ex-Aid, Graphite and the blonde mysterious man standing in front of them swing his right arm with the black game console spreading orange bits at them. The two let out a cough and get weaker before they turn and see Yui there in horror.

"Yui!" they both exclaim in unison as they tried to reach her, so did she, however, their bodies turn orange and both disappear.

"Mommy….Daddy….." Yui muttered. "NOOOOO!" she exclaimed if tears streaming crying out loud sorrowing her parents are gone. She was then grabbed by the neck of the black Ex-Aid.

"You won't remember any of this as you are one as well," the black Ex-Aid said before spreading orange bits on Yui as she screams in pain and disappears.


(Flashback ended)

Yui breathed in and out as his eyes widened in horror, remembering everything that happened as her body's static orange glitched. "You too mommy and daddy…..YOU TOOK THEM AWAY FROM EM!" Yui exclaims out loud before echoing, orange energy surrounding the area that shocked everyone.

"Yui! Yui!" Ex-Aid shouted out and ran towards her, reaching towards her.

However, the black Ex-Aid took out the bike wheel and threw it at her, until Leafa ran down and grabbed her in time avoidant the tire attack. "Yui! Yui, calm down, it is me Leafa, Suguha, Kirito…..you daddy brother!" she shouted with tears streaming out on Yui's face, the mysterious energy dies down and closes her eyes.

"Mommy ... .Daddy" she muttered.

Leafa then turns to the black Ex-Aid and glares at him. "You… you the reason why my brother is infected" she growls at him.

"You're his sister then. Your brother didn't stand a chance" the black Ex-Aid sneered angering Leafa she charges at him in rage and swung her sword down at him, but he deflected her sword with the tire causing an expressing as Leafa wad flying up and falling as Silica and Liz caught her, Klein and Sinon prepared to fight him with a serious expression. "All of you, their friends? Then you join them!" he shouted.

"You leave them out of this" Ex-Aid charges at him, pushing him away from them seriously. "Why would you take her mom and dad? Tell me" he demanded with his eyes narrowed with seriousness.

"If you want to know, then play the game," he said.

Ex-Aid scrolls down his menu to his storage as he got his Game Driver placing it on his waist and Gashat activates it.

"MIGHTY ACTION X!"

The wind blows on his face, waving his hair and smiling. "It's on now!" Ex-Aid waved his arm as he did his pose "Henshin!" Both doctors called out in unison, inserting their Gashat into their Driver.

"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! METCHA GAME! MUTCHA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME!? I'M A KAMEN RIDER!"

The Ex-Aid selected his character as his in Rider Form LVL 1.

"Dai-Henshin!" Ex-Aid shouted, pointing with his right arm pointed upright and pulling the lever.

"GACCHA! LEVEL UP!"

"MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION X!"

He then changes form from LVL 2 now. "He….looks familiar, didn't my brother watch one of the videos?" Leafa wondered as Ex-Aid pressed the silver button on his left side.

"STAGE SELECT!"


Ex-Aid chooses a stage and selects one as they are all on a grassy field, shocking the Players that they were all teleported. Both Ex-Aids were about to fight with the black Ex-Aid reaching his tire and Ex-Aid holding his Gashacon Breaker hammer mode, they both fought in a duel as they both deflected the attack.

Ex-Aid falls on the ground before the black Ex-Aid throws his tire at him before the pink Rider breaks a box as a red item enters his body. "Power up!" Ex-Aid shouted.

"HIT!"

Ex-Aid manages to deflect his attack with his hammer before charging at the black Ex-Aid, as he blocks with the other tire, Ex-Aid jumps on up and goes over him as Gekitotsu Robots Bugster was standing behind the black Ex-Aid.

Ex-Aid removed his Gashat from his Driver and inserted it into his Gashacon Breaker.

"GASHATTO! KIMEWAZA!"

"MIGHTY! CRITICAL FINISHED!"

As he gathers enough energy from his hammer he swings down the hammer at the Gekitotsu Robots Bugster, it launches its first but he breaks it, Ex-AId landed a slam on it and he exploded. The Gekitotsu Robots Gashat flies up as its gaming logo with the word 'GAME CLEAR!'

"GAME CLEAR!"

"Yes! Gekitotsu Robots, get!" Ex-Aid shouted as he retrieved one of the stolen Gashats. Shocking Brave and the others that he got back what Graphite stole.

"Ex-Aid" Graphite growls before walking away.

"How's that!" he turns to the black Ex-Aid.

"Very well. It's a one-on-one" he declared of a one-on-one fight.

"I'll beat you and I'm gonna find out who you really are. And tell me about Yui's parents!" Ex-Aid declaring if he wins he activates his new Gashat.

"GEKITOTSU ROBOTS!"

A title screen appears and red energy surrounds the area, a red robot emerges hovering around Ex-Aid before attacking the black Ex-Aid.

"GACHUN!"

He closed his lever and inserted the red Gashat into the second slot on his left.

"GASHATTO!"

"Dai-Dai Henshin!" Ex-aid shouted, swinging his right arm 360 degrees and pulling the lever.

"GACCHA! LEVEL UP!"

"MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION X! A GACHA! BUTTOBASE! TOTSUGEKI! GEKITOTSU PUNCH! GENITOTSU ROBOTS!"

As the pink rectangle appeared a red rectangle behind it both of them were going through a red robot hovering in front of him opening its mouth and placing itself on top of Ex-Aid's head covered like getting eaten as they were all takeback. The robot body soon attached to him with his feat shoulder pads, red armour chest, red mask with stud bolts, a gold v crest, and hands forming into a wonder gauntlet robot hand on his left forearm. This is Kamen Rider Ex-Aid LVL 2 form.

"That's"

"Level 3," Snipe said before Brave could say it.

"I'll clear this game, with no continues!" Ex-Aid shouted.

Both Ex-aid and the black Ex-Aid fight in a one on one as the black Rider swings his fist, the pink Rider deflected his attack and landed a punch with his gauntlet causing him to back away. Ex-Aid deflects his attack once more punching another black Ex-Aid once more, he charges at him, and the pink Rider dodges and lands multiple punches he was overpowering him.

Ex-Aid took out his red Gashat blowing to the top before inserting it into his left slot.

"GASHATTO! KIMEWAZA!"

The black Ex-Aid stood there as he was preparing Ex-Aid as he pressed the button for a finishing move.

"GEKITOTSU! CRITICAL STRIKE!"

He raises his left arm back and launches the gauntlet flying towards the black Ex-Aid, sending him to a giant rock Ex-Aid runs toward and throws his left fist into the gauntlet.

"PERFECT!"

The black Ex-Aid exploded as the rock blew up into pieces of rocks and smoke covered the area.

But once the smoke clears out the black Ex-Aid was nowhere to be found he manages to escape, and Ex-Aid looks around the area and he is not around anymore. "Hey, come back here and fight me! You still haven't told me why you took her parents!" he hollered so loud but no response. "Dammit!" he growled, slamming the ground with his left fist.

"Emu" he heard Yui's voice and saw he was next to him.

"Yui" he mutters before looking away from her as he tries to get an answer from the black Ex-Aid but he disappears.

Until he felt the touch of Yui's hand to her as he looked at her. "It's alright. You'll find it one day, but for now, be grateful that everyone is safe," she reassured him as they arrived at Ex-Aid. "Gah!" Suddenly, she felt a sharp pain and saw orange glitches enveloping her body.

"Yui!" Ex-Aid gasps before she sees her body and vanishes, then he wonders if she is alright in the IR world.

As he was about to log out of this virtual world. "Wait" Ex-Aid heard someone as he turned and saw Leafa with a serious expression Ex-Aid sensed that she wanted answers. "Just what were those things back there, who was that guy who resembles you, and why is Yui with you?"

"Wait, do you know Yui?" Ex-Aid blinked, wondering if this Sylph player knew who Yui was as they stared at each other in silence.


Emu woke up and sat up in the real world. He noticed that Yui was there and not in her room. He was surprised to see her here, especially with a frowning expression. "Yui," he muttered. "Hey, Yu, can I ask you something?" She listened to what Emu had to say. "How did you get in the VR World without an Atmosphere, are you…a Bugster?"

Yui frowned as she looked at her hand, then backed up at him. "I believe I was infected," she said. " Emu was surprised to realize that Hiiro was right, Yui was not what she seemed and Kiriya said she had no record of her at all. "But Emu, I remember everything that happened and who I am. Before I became a Bugster, I was an A.I." Emu was shocked by her revelation.


Back in the VRMMO game of Alfhiem Online, the black Ex-Aid wobbles in the cave with his life gauge nearly depleted after the fight with Ex-Aid. He then closed the lever and took out the purple Gashat.

"GACHON! GASHUN!"

His suit disappeared revealing to be a to have black hair and a black robe the face of Dan Kuroto. He is a Spriggon.

He bends down placing his right hand on his forehead he was not alone as with him is Parado on top of a rock and Graphite in his human form wearing a red vest with a green sleeve on his right, a fang necklace, red pants, orange sash around his waist, a black leather gauntlet on his left forearm and brown shoes.

"Ex-Aid so strong you're shaking in fear," Graphito said after seeing the fight between them.

"Fear, please…..the only thing fearsome here is my genius!" he shouted

Parado jumps off the rock. "This is getting exciting, Kamen Rider….Genm" he said as the Spriggon sneered.

He log out of the Virtual world and headed back to the real world, he was in his office as he remove his Atmosphere it was revealed to be Dan Kuruto letting out a smirk before looking at the monitor and seeing a split screen of two people lying at a hospital bed unconscious with a life support machine hook up.

The two of them appear to be the ones that Emu met Asuna and Kazuto, what happened to them?

Next time on Ex-Aid: Gaming Chronicle

Hiiro: I don't trust that Bugster

Kuroto: a game of cloak and dagger

Emu: Can you tell me more about your parents

Black haired-girl: Yui it is you

Hiiro: You failed to defeat him five years ago


And that's that I hope you guys like this as Emy finally meets Leafa and the others. Yui remembers what happened when Kamen Rider Genm attacked Asuna and Kirito and told Emu who she is. Also, I choose Emu and the other Avatar race of Fairy, as some I got from the Ex-Aid Online the first fanfic I read, well except for Lazer as I choose him as a Caith Sith. See ya later.
