AN: I do not own Touhou Project, Madoka Magica, or Sword Art Online.
Well the results are in… after about three reviews, one of which was just one line. And the deciding vote goes to Tommiboy, who actually gave decent teams for each server. The 'Peaceful' team going to SAO, who have it the easiest. The 'Diplomat' team who has to deal with Alfhiem, and its politics, and the 'Assault' Team who is going to Gun Gale. And so the teams are set with some changes, so here's the verdict.
SAO: Vaati, Patchouli, Rumia, Wriggle, Daiyousei, Mokou, Kaguya, Reisen
ALO: Marisa, Alice, Cirno, Mami, Reimu, Suika, Sanae, Aya, Momiji, Madoka, Homura
GGO: Nitori, Kasen, Meiling, Renko, Sayaka, Ran, Sumireko
Omega E The Reader: None of these teams make any lick of sense.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Let's go through each team one at a time.
Omega E The Reader: First up is SAO team and it's peaceful…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Rumia hunts people. Mokou is always eager for a fight. Kaguya (or at least this version of Kaguya) is a NEET who does whatever at random and Reisen uses guns. NONE OF THE CHARACTERS HERE USE SWORDS! And Mokou's sword made of fire doesn't count.
Omega E The Reader: Yeah, the first group is made up of people who are either terrible at fighting or really like the shoot first ask later policy.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Not to mention that Daiyousei would fit better in ALO since she's a fairy. And that Vaati and Patchouli are probably some of Gensokyo's better diplomats. As for Wriggle, her overall fairy-like traits would make her a better fit for ALO, too. In short, NONE OF THEM FIT! ! !
Omega E The Reader: Now onto ALO. The diplomat team sucks! There are so many characters who are terrible at resolving things peacefully!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Marisa is a "shoot first, forget about asking questions" kind of girl, Cirno's an idiot, Reimu is not much better than Marisa, Suika is a drunkard who loves to fight, Sanae is impulsive and quick to make rash decisions if she's not following the orders of her goddesses, Aya's more interested in what will make the latest breaking news, Momiji's a watchdog with no history of diplomacy, and Homura favors guns over discussions. And although Alice, Mami and Madoka are better suited for diplomacy, they still stand out due to lacking fairy-like traits. So at best, all but three DON'T AT ALL and the remaining three only HALF-FIT!
Omega E the Reader: And now for the GGO team. And NONE of them fit in the game where everyone uses GUNS in combat.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: ONLY SUMIREKO USES A GUN! ! ! And even THEN, it's only for ONE SPECIAL ATTACK! ! ! Though Nitori has water guns in the fighting games, I don't think she has ANY water guns in this fic! In fact, tell me, does Nitori ever use water guns during GGO?
Omega E The Reader: I think she wears that Iron Maiden suit.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Doesn't fit GGO. GGO has nothing like the Iron Maiden suit.
Omega E The Reader: I can agree.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: In short, that reviewer chose poorly.
Omega E The Reader: Because he has terrible tastes.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: So how many sins per poorly chosen character?
Omega E The Reader: 10 each.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And those that half-fit?
Omega E The Reader: 5

"This is a stupid idea." Remilia muttered as she looked over the three assembled 'teams' Which was more of ragtag bunches of people who would be splitting up to cover all three 'worlds in data' as Yukari had put it. "I believe that to be the point Lady Remilia." Sakuya said, smiling slightly in amusement as Yukari stood by Remilia, smirking as she looked over the groups. They had all assembled in the Arena that Remilia still had.
Each team was going into a different world, each one literally going in blind to what could be there. 'And knowing them they'll all be just fine.' Yukari thought as she started her speech. "So I know that all of you know why we are gathered here. So I'm going to cut to the chase. On a recent gathering mission our 'recon' team we discovered three different worlds with trapped souls in them, known as VR worlds, or as I'm going to call them Virtual Worlds." Yukari said as each group mingled with each other, Yukari watching as they paid very little actual attention to her, Yukari just rolling her eyes as she looked over the three groups.
The first group was rather laid back, Vaati leading it with Patchouli. The three little girls who had grown up quite a bit over the two years all playing together as they waited, Mokou and Kaguya standing slightly away from each other as Reisen stood next to Kaguya… holding what Yukari could only guess was a giant laser pointer. 'Note to self, remove all weapons from Eientei later.' Yukari thought before looking at the next group.
Marisa was at the lead of this group, Alice behind her as Mami just stood around humming, Reimu holding her face in her hand as Suika was smirking, Sanae standing behind the former shrine maiden for protection from the crazy witch. Aya and Momiji standing off to the side as Aya whispered in Momiji's ear about something, Madoka and Homura also standing tighter just waiting as Madoka hummed, Homura just watching over her best friend. Cirno however had joined this group on Vaati's request. All in all, this group was the largest.
The third group, in contrast, was the smallest, being lead by Meiling of all people with Nitori and Kasen as her backup, along with Sayaka and Sumireko. Yukari however had assigned Renko and Ran to assist them anyway, it would be much easier that way. She just hoped they wouldn't get themselves killed or anything… Who was she kidding Sumireko would probably do something stupid anyway. And if not her then Sayaka would do something stupid.
"If any of you would actually listen, I would tell you what each of these worlds has to offer, and what your targets are." Yukari complained, everyone still chatting as she sighed, Remilia giggling as she knew that Yukari wasn't going to get their attention without something drastic. And drastic it was.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: It is a stupid idea. The team leaders for ALO and GGO are TERRIBLE PICKS! ! !
Omega E The Reader: Yes, it really is stupid…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And in fact, ONE leader will PROVE to be a VERY TERRIBLE pick later...
Omega E The Reader: How many sins?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Well we already sinned the characters themselves, so now we add sins for the leader picks.

A train fell into the middle of the arena from a gap, everyone having scrambled out of the way as they all looked at Yukari, who was smiling innocently as the train dropped into a new gap back to wherever Yukari kept it. "Now that I have your attention, please try to pay attention." Yukari said as everyone finally focused on her. "So as you all know, there are three different VR worlds, and we have three teams, each of you will be going to a different world." Yukari said as she opened three gaps with a flick of her wrist. "Alright… now here you all go, take your teams and stick together, I'll be watching so just call if you need help or need to get out, good luck everyone, and good hunting." Yukari finished, knowing she wasn't going to keep everyone's attention any longer as the groups all started heading towards a gap each.

Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: That song doesn't fit the scene.
Omega E The Reader: I mean it sounds VERY wrong when an uplifting theme song is playing when they are at someone's GRAVES!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Exactly!
Omega E the Reader: The theme song should be VERY somber since many people DIED in SAO, more than in the canon timeline.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: In fact, there shouldn't even BE a theme song playing.
Omega E z the reader: Why though?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Because there aren't any theme songs in SAO that would fit the mood.
Omega E The Reader: Really?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Yeah, no point with looking for theme songs that fit the mood. There are none.

Vaati and Patchouli nodded as they turned to their group. "Let's get going." Vaati said quietly as she and Patchouli floated through the portal. Rumia started giggling as she spread her arms out and started running through the gap, Wriggle and Daiyousei chasing after her as Kaguya smiled to Mokou and grabbed Reisen's hand, dragging the moon rabbit through the gap as Mokou sighed. "Why didn't I go with one of the other teams…" Mokou complained as she walked through.
It wasn't even a long trip as a gap opened up above a large town, a giant pillar standing tall in the town as Patchouli and Vaati fall out of the gap and floated down gently, followed by Rumia freefalling from the gap and dropping to the ground like a brick, almost smacking it but managing to float just before that happened… until Wriggle and Daiyousei fell on top of her. Knocking all three of them to the stone ground. Kaguya flew out of the gap with Reisen struggling in her grip, Kaguya letting go and allowing the moon rabbit to fly herself as Mokou was the last one out of the portal before itself.
"Where are we?" Mokou asked, bored and looking around the plaza they had just landed in, a large monument in the middle with thousands upon thousands of names on it. Mokou putting her hand on the monument as she mumbled the names she could read. "Sachi… Diabel… Godfrey? Who are these people?" Mokou mumbled as she looked up the monument, the others gathering behind her as the three little girls pulled themselves up. "I… I think it's a gravestone." Kaguya said, the others looking at her before looking at the monument. "Where would someone find the time to write this many names on a single stone?" Reisen asked Kaguya, wanting an answer. "I don't think anyone wrote these names… this is a virtual world, and I think it kept track of everyone who died…" Vaati said quietly, floating around the monument and up to the top. On the very top of the monument was a name all alone, Vaati pressing her hand to it. "Heathcliff… what's so special about this person they are all alone up here." Vaati muttered to herself as Patchouli floated up next to her. "We can ask those we were sent here to find." Patchouli said as they floated back down, Mokou cracking her neck as everyone gathered around.
"So what's the plan?" Mokou asked, ignoring Kaguya. "Simple, we scour this world until we find the survivors." Patchouli said in a deadpan tone, Mokou nodding as Kaguya sighed. "That's no fun." Kaguya said, this had been one of her first times out of Eientei in a long time and an entire world to explore soundly like something fun to do, not like the Lunarians could find her HERE! "Then you can take the girls and Reisen and go have fun while we search." Vaati coincided, knowing they should have just come alone, or at best with Mokou.
"Alright then, come on girls!" Kaguya said excitedly as she grabbed Reisen's hand and pulled her in a random direction, Rumia, Wriggle and Daiyousei following her. "That takes care of them for a while." Mokou muttered, this was no time for children. "Did you expect me to leave them home after the last time? When we came back everything had been pretty much blown up, no chances this time." Vaati said, silently hoping that Kaguya wouldn't do anything reckless and would keep the girls safe. 'At least Reisen has a head on her shoulders.' Vaati thought.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Bringing Kaguya was a stupid idea.
Omega E The Reader: She is nothing but a NEET.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: She's useless.
Omega E The Reader: At least in this story.
Sin Count: 1587
"So, where should we start?" Patchouli asked, Vaati putting her hand on her head and thinking for a moment as Mokou walked around the plaza, looking for any signs of life. "We need to find out just how big this place is, so I say we find the 'edge' of the world first and take a short flight to see just how big this place is, it may be a world but it can't be that big." Vaati suggested, not knowing just how wrong she was.
BGM: Tales of Xillia: Opening Theme
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And now we have a different theme song from a different game.
Omega E The Reader: Honestly he REALLY loves to play theme songs from different series entirely. No SAO, No Puella Magi Madoka Magica and not even ANY Touhou theme songs! Reading a Touhou story with themes songs from anything BUT Touhou in it is dumb.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: It makes me wonder if the author would've used the theme song of Tales of Arise had it been out at the time…
Omega E the Reader: He must like using theme songs that don't fit thematically.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Which is incredibly stupid.

"I fully retract my previous statement…" Vaati muttered in awe as she, Mokou and Patchouli floated among the digital sky, just looking at the monstrous castle that floated before them. "And we have to find ONE pocket of survivors in this thing!" Mokou complained, that would take FOREVER! "No time like the present… all we can do is look for the survivors anyway." Patchouli said quietly. "I say we start at the top and work our way down, I mean surely if they were climbing this thing for years they much be near the top right?" Mokou suggested, the three of them already beginning the long flight to the top floor of Aincrad. "Just the size of a single floor is enough to dwarf Gensokyo…" Patchouli muttered in awe as they flew, slowly making their way towards the top.
"I know Yukari would have a field day with this castle, she'd probably use it as a house." Vaati said to that statement. For the rest of the long flight it was just idle chatter, trying not to get extremely bored flying up the side of a castle in the sky.
Back on the first floor in the fields Rumia was chasing after a boar, laughing as it ran away, Wriggle and Daiyousei chasing after her as they tried to catch the digital critter, the monster turning around and huffing before charging at Rumia, who tackled it and knocked it to the dirt, laughing in triumph as she tried to take a bite out of it, only for the boar to dissolve into a flash of sparks. And with the loss of what she thought was going to be her meal Rumia's eyes started tearing up as Wriggle and Daiyousei tried to comfort her, Kaguya and Reisen catching up to them within moments, Kaguya panting from running across the field in her dress, Reisen right behind her, still lugging her rather massive gun with relative ease. "I… need… to… get out… of my dress…" Kaguya panted, before holding her hand out to Reisen for the bag she had asked Reisen to bring with them, the moon rabbit handing it over as Kaguya looked for a tree and went behind it, coming back from behind it dressed in her tee-shirt and sweatpants, and the bag on her shoulder as Rumia stopped crying as more boars started running past them.
"So… where to?" Reisen asked, Kaguya putting her finger in her lip as she thought a bit, Rumia, Wriggle and Daiyousei already chasing after more boars, laughing away until a wolf lunged as Wriggle, the insect youkai spinning around and delivering a kick to the wolf's face, causing it to shatter into light. "Yeah!" Wriggle cheer for herself as she looked up and the trees, jumping into them as to try and get to the boar before Rumia and Daiyousei.
"Well… how about we try to find somewhere to explore, like a dungeon or a cave!" Kaguya suggested, getting excited at the thought of finding treasure. "Girls! Come on! Were's going to go and find treasure!" Kaguya shouted, Wriggle and Daiyousei turning around from their places on the ground and in the trees as Rumia tackled the boar, causing it to shatter into light, before getting up, huffing in childish annoyance as she floated towards her friends, who flew back to Kaguya as they started walking in a random direction, trying to find somewhere to explore with Kaguya happily in the lead.
On the fiftieth floor Kirito was walking around the quiet and dull town, alone. He had needed some time to think after Klein's latest outburst. 'Is he right? Are we really just shades, just shadows of who we used to be?' Kirito thought, looking at his hand before closing his eyes and clenching his fist, opening them as he looked up at the sky. Nearby was the edge of the fiftieth floor. 'Wait…' Kirito thought, hearing something that sounded like talking coming from below. Looking at the edge of the world he had only a split second to see something… no SOMEONE fly past the barrier, Kirito gasping as he ran towards the edge of the world and looked up, seeing three figures shooting towards the top of Aincrad, FLYING! 'This I've got to tell the others." Kirito thought as he stared for a few more moments before starting to run back towards Agil's house, this was definitely something new. 'Those couldn't be players, but who were they… only one way to find out!' Kirito screamed in his mind as he dashed through the streets. 'We'll have to find them!'
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: They missed him by THAT much!
Omega E The Reader: What do you mean,
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: They flew RIGHT past him! We could've saved a LOT of BS if they didn't have such POOR EYESIGHT!
Omega E The Reader: But they do.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Which is incredibly stupid.
Omega E The Reader: They all have the mental IQ of Cirno, it seems.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Absolutely terrible. They should've brought Momiji.
Omega E The Reader: Because she looks like a pillar….
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And her canon ability is her eyesight.

Marisa smiled as she turned towards her team as they were about to enter the gap, Cirno staring off at Vaati's team and waving goodbye after Vaati and Patchouli had gone through. 'I need to be strong, she'll be fine, we'll all be fine.' Cirno thought, hoping that her big 'sister' would be okay without her. 'She fought that giant witch, she should be fine.' Cirno thought, trying to reassure herself.
"Alright everyone, with me!" Marisa shouted happily before racing through the portal, Reimu rolling her eyes as she chased after her with Suika. Sanae running after her, trying to stay as close to what she thought was the safest out of the bunch she had teamed up with as Alice ran in after her, Mami following Alice quickly as Aya smiled at Momiji, flying through the portal as Momiji followed her, Madoka and Homura smiling at each other as they walked through together, leaving Cirno alone. "I'll make sure we all make it back… don't you worry everyone." Cirno promised to herself, before running through the gap as it closed.
High above in the skies of Alfheim a gap opened in the sky, Marisa falling out of it in a free fall, the others following her out and starting to fly before Marisa started shouting. "WHOEVER GETS CLOSEST TO THE GROUND WITHOUT FLYING GET FIRST DIBS AT ANY TREASURE WE FIND!" Marisa shouted before cackling as she sped up in her free fall, the other girls falling after her as Cirno shot out of the portal last, watching as everyone freefalled towards the ground. Not bothering to start flying she dived after them, smiling as she caught up with the pack, the group rapidly approaching the ground as Cirno angled herself and shot towards Marisa as Sanae chickened out and started floating down gently towards the ground, Alice sighing as she stopped and started floating as well, it wouldn't do to loss anyone after all.
After her Mami stopped falling, starting to float as she watched the others shoot towards the ground, it wasn't like she needed treasure anyway. However on Marisa's face as a great large grin as the ground grew ever closer, only for Cirno to pass her in a head first free face, turning around to give Marisa a mock salute as Marisa scowled, she wasn't going to lose her own competition! By this point everyone else had started descending safely as Marisa and Cirno shot towards the ground, nearing it as they looked at each other, smirking as they neared the ground, Cirno not showing any fear as they were only around fifty meters from the ground, Marisa not stopping as they got ever closer, only for Cirno to try and pull up to avoid going splat as Marisa stopped on a dime inches from the ground, Cirno having stopped just a few feet before her, Marisa laughing heartily as she poked her chest. "That was awesome, but I'm the winner here!" Marisa shouted happily as Cirno huffed in annoyance, there was always someone better…
The others landed softly as Aya had her camera out, having stopped solely to take pictures of the daredevils who continued to freefall. "You two were so close, that was awesome!" Aya shouted loudly as Sanae covered her ears, Reimu shaking her head and sighing, everyone was a crazy adrenaline junkie around her. Except Sanae. "Does the shrine maiden need a new pair of robes?" Marisa asked insensitively as she started laughing, no one else laughing with her as Sanae's breathing leveled out, she may have stopped first but falling from that high scared her, which was ironic considering she herself was the priestess of a weather based goddess.
"Cut it out Marisa." Reimu said, slapping Marisa and sending her flying into a tree, the witch sliding down it as an acorn fell out and hit her head before shattering into blue sparks. "You did that… on purpose." Marisa said before falling backwards out cold from the direct encounter with an Oni's palm. Reimu sporting the smallest of smirks as she looked at the girls around her, with Marisa out cold it fell to her to give the directions… "Alice, figure out what we need to do." or she could just pass it off to Alice and be lazy about it.
Omega E The Reader; Why the hell are they fooling around?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Because they're brain dead morons, Marisa was a terrible pick for leader (Patchy and Vaati would've worked so much better than that greedy moron), and it doesn't fit the theme song AT ALL!
Omega E The Reader: This is no time to fool around after all. Every second they spend is a second of time someone may or may not die.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And believe me, they'll keep proving themselves worse and worse.

Alice rolled her eyes as Suika chuckled before hefting the out cold Marisa over her shoulder. Alice taking the for front as Reimu sat down and casually grabbed Suika's gourd off her belt and taking a drink from it. "Alright… so our goal is to locate the survivors within this virtual world, and as none of us have any experience with this sort of thing barring Homura from being trapped in a time loop for who knows how long." Alice said before Homura interrupted her. "I ended up going over it a while back out of boredom, it was about twenty years worth of loops." Homura said casually, having already told Madoka as Alice nodded, unimpressed. "I thought it would have been a higher number." Aya whispered to Momiji, who just shrugged.
"Ok ignoring that, we need to find the survivors, so what I suggest is we stick together and keep to the sky, that way we have an aerial view." Alice said, everyone nodding as Suika cracked her neck and patted Marisa's back gently, with much more control over her strength then Reimu had. "So… we take to the air and stick together, hoping either we see them, or they see us?" Suika asked, Alice nodding as she started to fly. "Then let's get to it." Mami said with a smile as she took point, flying ahead of everyone as they started following, Cirno covering the back as they flew.
'So this is a virtual world, doesn't feel all that different from home.' Cirno thought as she looked at the land, mountains and trees covering the land they were flying over, an extremely large tree off in the distance that Cirno stopped to look at in awe. "Cirno come on!" Alice shouted, having seen her stop. "Coming Alice!" Cirno shouted back before taking one last look at the massive tree in the distance before smirking and flying after the group, she wanted to reach the top.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: See how Alice is the one making the serious decisions? It's a testament to how TERRIBLE Marisa is as a team leader.
Omega E The Reader: It'd be best to have her part of a team who likes fighting, instead.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Yeah, she works better for GGO.
Omega E The Reader: I can agree as well.

Leafa gave a loud grunt as her sword stabbed the beast in front of her, the beast falling over and exploding into sparks as Leafa flicked out of the rewards screen instantly as Eugene finished his half of the monster pack that had been in the way of the evacuation efforts. She and Eugene had been sent ahead to keep to road clear as the leaders stayed with the army and citizens. "How is it looking on your end?" Leafa asked, wondering about Eugune's status, his health bar was full, but stamina was another thing. "I could go all day Leafa, the question is, can you?" Eugene responded.
"Fully topped and stocked big guy." Leafa said with a smile, it was times like these she could almost… almost believe that she and Eugene were just playing a game, yet not it was a matter of life and death in a virtual world. 'Hard to think I would have a salamander as my best friend.' Leafa thought. Eugene had been her constant companion for the two years she had been general of the sylphs, and co-generals of the fairies of Alfheim. Sometimes she actually wished they could just be a little bit more.
'And to think, still nearly two years ago we were mortal enemies on the battlegrounds of this world.' Leafa thought as she looked to the sky, seeing the world tree's ever present form in the distance. "Leafa on your left." Eugene called out, Leafa grabbing her sword from her sheath in one clean motion and stabbing it through the monster that had tried to charge her, getting into position as Eugene went back to back with her with his legendary sword, the Demonic Sword Gram in his hands. "We've been fighting for nearly ten minutes now… this isn't a normal horde." Eugene pointed out, Leafa growing tense as she gritted her teeth, looking at the enemy apes that surrounded them. 'That means a field boss is going to spawn if we clear these monsters out… and that could wipe out everyone if we let it roam.' Leafa thought. "I say we clear them out, we have to, either way if we don't deal with it it's delaying the inevitable." Leafa said, suggested that she and Eugene take on the field boss alone. Eugene smirked at that. "I've always had to admire your spunk kid, think we can takem?" Eugene said in almost a mocking tone. Leafa silent smirking back. "Wanta bet?" Leafe said as they shot forward with glowing swords.
The load roar that indicated the field boss' arrival was loud, the sound of a gorilla beating on it's chest being heard as Leafa and Eugene turned towards the last remaining enemy before them, the field boss itself. A giant ape stood before them, it's fur pure black with red skin, a giant club in it's hand as it roared again, it's six health bars visible to both Eugene and Leafa as they stood confidently against it. "Only six health bars? I've killed stronger creatures in my sleep." Eugene bragged as he was about to swing at the field boss. "Keep your eyes on the prize Eugene, if we don't take care of this thing it's still a danger to everyone else." Leafa said as the monster tried to block Eugene's sword, only for it's special ability to activate and pass through the monster's club and cut into it's body, leaving a red mark of pixels in a gash on it's arm as Leafa charged at it from below, stabbing at it's exposed stomach as Eugene blocked it's club, stabbing his glowing sword through the monster's stomach at the same time as Leafa's sword pierced it's flesh, the field boss going limp before shattering into red sparks, Eugene staring at where is was for a moment, not sheathing his blade as Leafa held her's out. "That wasn't the field boss, it went down way to easy." Eugene muttered as once again a loud roar pierced the clearing's still air, Eugene and Leafa turning towards the sound once again as loud stomps were heard, yet they couldn't see the boss.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: So, the boss is a giant gorilla, huh?
Omega E The Reader: Yes but there's a plot hole…you know how in SAO anyone can die, right? But in the other games like Gun Gale and Alfeim they just respawn? Well this is a problem since no one can die in those games at all, unlike in SAO.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: That's because everyone's souls are trapped in the game, right now.
Omega E The Reader: Really now? That's your best explanation? I don't think so. SAO has people be killed so I disagree.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: That's not my explanation, but the story's explanation. Which would only work if the death system was the same as SAO, which it's not. As ALO has the dead turn into flames until they respawn, for example.
Omega E The Reader: But…I want to another counter…BIG MASSIVE PLOT HOLE COUNT! Because the respawn mechanic exists in the other games!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Right. I guess we can already add two to it.

Standing side by side the two generals stood ready as they grit their teeth, preparing for the worst as the stomping grew louder and louder, the roar being heard again, this time much closer as Leafa looked up, a shadow being cast over her and Eugene as she pulled the salamander player out of the way as the shadow came down, a large foot landing where they were just standing.
"Now that… is a field boss." Eugene said as they looked up at the ape, the thing towering over the forest with it's club literally a tree as Eugene and Leafa activated their wings, flying up to level with the massive beast. A whooping ten health bars appearing on it as they floated in the sky, ready for action. "Still think this is going to be easy Eugene?" Leafa asked, Eugene smirking. "Well I did always like a challenge." Eugene said confidently as the beast swung at them, the two fairies swerving out of the way of it's massive swing. "But the issue is actually getting close to the dam thing." Eugene pointed out, Leafa nodding as the beast took another swing, the two fairies flying around it's head wildly to avoid getting hit.
"UGGGGGG! This is boring, we've been flying forever!" Sanae complained, floating near the back of the group as Marisa, who had woken up, lead the front in place of Mami. "Shut up Sanae, we're fine, and it's only been half an hour!" Marisa shouted back from her seat upon her broom. "How do you know what time it is…" Sanae muttered under her breath. It was then a loud roar reverberated through the air the girls all turning towards the sound as they saw a giant ape trying to attack when looked like, from their distance, two different figures. "Could that be?" Reimu pondered as Marisa smirked. "Looks like we found our survivors, now let's kick some ass!" Marisa called as she shoot towards them on her broom, Aya following quickly as Cirno was in a close third, Reimu also joining the front of the pack as the others lagged behind the better flyers as they sped towards the giant beast.
"What I wouldn't give for the mage squad to be here right now." Eugene said as he dodged yet another swing from the giant ape. "Is the great general Eugene at a loss of what to do?" Leafa said in a mocking tone. "More like we can't get close to this thing, we need range." Eugene said as he focused on the monster, only for maniac laughter to be heard from nearby. Almost instantly some… thing rammed right into the giant ape, staggering it as the beam of light shot past it, the beast dropping it's club as sparks radiated from it's head. Just after whatever had collided with the beast had gone past it and stopped something kicked the beast in the head, Eugene and Leafa seeing a girl with crow wings kicking the beast in the head, staggering it as she used her fan to whip up a tornado at the beast, the wind not doing anything as the beast roared, only for something to slam straight into it, Eugene and Leafa staring stuned as a girl with horns straight up punched the field boss in the face, it's health bar dropping by an extreme amount as one last figure attacked it, a girl with blue hair holding a sword made of ice, the size of which put Eugune's to shame yet she held it in one hand as the girl yelled, her wings made of ice flaring behind her as she brought the blade down on the monster's head, cleaving straight down through it and landing on the forest floor as the monster exploded into red sparks, leaving Eugene and Leafa stunning in sheer disbelief at what had just happened. "Last time I checked there wasn't any races with crow wings or horns… right?" Leafa muttered, Eugene shaking his head slowly as the one who had first rammed into the beast flew up to the other three girls on a broom, no wings in sight dressed in a witch's outfit, laughing her head off as she held an item in her hands, casually throwing it up and down as the other three all looked exasperated with her before the horned girl grabbed the item and straight up smashed it with one hand, leaving the witch to huff in annoyance as several more people flew up.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And Marisa just offs the thing like that...
Omega E The Reader: You got a problem with that?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: It's a little anti-climactic.
Omega E The Reader: I can agree…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: The boss being easily dispatched and all that. Why couldn't the story just have Leafa and Eugene take it out before they arrive?
Omega E The Reader: It could help show how relatively good they are.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Bear in mind that Kirito never gets into such trouble.
Omega E The Reader: But Kirito is in an entirely different game.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Yes, but he STILL never needs rescuing from bosses. Why couldn't his little sister show off her own sword skills?
Omega E The Reader: We get none of that…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: What a disappointment.

BGM: Disgaea 5 OST – Who are You?
Omega E The Reader: So many theme songs to choose from Touhou, SAO, and Puella Magi Madoka Magica and you choose one that's not even from those series.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And kind of a shame that there are no Disgaea characters. Trust me, these characters are a riot.
Omega E The Reader: How good are these Disgaea characters, anyways?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: I think it'd be easier if you check it out yourself. But I'll say that they'd give Mima and Byakuren some relevance.
Omega E The Reader: Why, though?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: If I was to get into detail, I think the word count would double. But long answer short: Wise-cracking demons and no 4th Wall.
Omega E The Reader: Oh.

A two girls with angel wings, one set black and one set white flew up followed by a girl who looked like a dog version of a Cait Sith armed with a sword and shield flew without wings next to them, along with a second horned girl and two girls who looked somewhat normal… if they were human and flying without wings. "Eugene…" Leafa muttered in utter disbelief. "We need to report this." Eugene said as he and Leafa started to fly away, only for the girl with crow wings to appear in front of them. "Not so fast, we got some questions for you." The girl said, Eugene drawing his sword and pointing it at the girl's neck as she backed off a little bit, holding her hands up. "And who the hell are you, an NPC, there are no races in Alfheim with wings like yours, and every living player is currently with the relocation group, so who are you?" Eugene asked, wanting answers until he feel something being pointed at the back of his head, slowly turning his head around to see a musket, a weapon that shouldn't even exist in Alfheim being pointed at the back of his head by the yellow haired girl with drill tails, and with a closer looked at her, she appeared to be actually made of wood, like a living puppet. "We came here with a mission to save you and the survivors of the end of the human world… I was honestly not expected what looks like alternate versions of Cirno." The living doll said. "Dear Yukari we don't need MORE OF HER!" The witch said in a clearly joking tone. 'So that blue haired fairy must be called Cirno.' Eugene thought as Leafa tried to draw her sword, only for it to disappear out of her hands and appeared in the hands of the witch, who was swinging it around without a care in the world. "I'm just going to borrow this." The witch said, only for the large horned girl to grab the sword and hand it back to Leafa. "Ignore her, she has a rather bad case of kleptomania." The girl said. "I'm not a klepto, I'm just borrowing!" The witch said, clearly offended. "Yeah right Marisa." The second yellow haired girl said, this one clearly human… if she even was.
"Enough of this, can we just tell them what we are here for, we only came to help them get out of this virtual world, and what are you nutcases doing!" the wolf girl complained, everyone turning their attention to the rather peeved wolf girl, the witch, Marisa looking sheepish as she motioned for someone other then her to say something, the rest of the girls sighing as Eugene and Leafa looked at each other, genuinely confused. This was just out there on the weird scale. "Explain what you mean by save us." Leafa said, wanting to just understand SOMETHING in this mess. The tall, short horned girl sighed before putting her hand on her head. "It's a long story… a very long story." She said as Eugene and Leafa looked at each other again, hopefully the army and the others would get here in time to spare them from this insanity…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And Marisa just keeps showing how bad of a leader she is.
Omega E The Reader: What makes you say that?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: She STOLE LEAFA'S SWORD FOR NO GOOD REASON! ! !
Omega E The Reader: Other than "borrowing".
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: She also tries to get someone OTHER than her to explain things. She's the LEADER of the team! Yet all she does is STEAL and have everyone ELSE do the responsible things!

Meiling looked at her team with a nod, it had been quiet a while since she had actually done anything, and it felt good to be back. "Alright everyone, It's our job to get into this world and rescue everyone we can, it doesn't matter if it's one person or a hundred, we need to save as many as we can… and if they've gone completely nuts we may… have to deal with them." Meiling said to her team, Nitori shaking in her armor as the others looking on without much issue, killing was in their nature as youkai, and only Nitori didn't have that 'killer' instinct.
Omega E the Reader: HER team. Meaning Meiling is the leader of the SCARLET team.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: She does NOT have Scarlet Blood! And has ZERO EXPERIENCE as a leader! She is at the BOTTOM of the SDM's named totem pole!
Omega E the Resder: I agree!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: China Team would've been a much more fitting name. And even then, it wouldn't be a fitting team.
Omega E The Reader: Yeah and this sucks!
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: So much.
Sin Count: 1775
"Lady Yukari has monitored all three worlds, and while the first two are not so dangerous in terms of sanity and those we can save, there is a massive issue in this third one… it's a bloodbath, humans killing each other on all sides without care, just over resources and anything they can get their hands on. But in her observations she has only found one candidate for extraction." Ran said as Meiling motioned her to go on, Ran nodding as she started speaking again.
"Our insertion point has been personally made by Yukari, while the other two teams where just dumped into their worlds we are going to be close to our target, but just extracting her isn't the only goal… the other is to eliminate all the hostile forces… which is everyone else still alive in the world. Raiders, Gunners, and Bandit factions, all filled with not so sane people, armed to kill. We will not to collaborate with the target to take them out. As we can not risk them being alive." Ran briefed them, Nitori shaking in her armor at that, the other girls, even Renko and Sayaka perfectly fine with it. Humans are bastards indeed, but not all of them.
"The target is a girl who's name is currently unknown, she is identifiable by her blue hair, green outfit and very, very big rifle, a gun known as the Hecate. She is near the edge of the world, in a tower that we will be inserting above. We need to make contact and gain her trust, and keep her alive as lady Yukari has requested." Ran said, finishing her briefing as all the girls except Nitori nodded, Meiling taking charge again. "Alright then team, let's move it." Meiling said, leading the all through the gap as Nitori followed behind slowly, scared out of her wits. 'Please tell me I don't have to kill anyone… please?' Nitori thought futilely, but she would avoid actually killing anyone for as long as she could. Running through the gap after everyone else.
Omega E The Reader: Nitori's thinking is wrong. She's a Youkai, meaning that she doesn't share the whole not wanting to kill shtick like humans.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: And even if she did, it would just mean the team was picked poorly. They should have nothing but hardened soldiers who will not hesitate to kill the enemies standing in their way.
Omega E The Reader: I mean, this IS the assault team.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Exactly. And the assault team needs people who have the will to kill.
Omega E The Reader: Reimu and Marisa would obviously fit very well in this team since they are more than willing to kill people without hesitation.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Their canon selves, that is. Can't say the same of the ones in here.
Omega E The Reader: Reisen would fit well on this. Hell the CANON SDM would fit in this team.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: But because of how everyone is in here...it means there are way too little fitting people...
Sin count: 1850
Shino sat in her tower, occasionally peaking out at the wasteland to see if there was anyone coming. 'So far, nothing, I can only hope it stays that way.' Shino thought, breathing in and breathing out, despite not needing to. Looking up at the ever present night sky of Gun Gale she sighed. "I just want this nightmare to be over already." Shino muttered, bringing her scarf up to her mouth as a muffler as she was about to close her eyes when she felt something above her, her eyes hooting open as she grabbed her rifle and aimed up, before lowering it and blinking as a literal hole in the world opened in front of her, a girl with red hair in a Chinese outfit dropping out and landing in front of her as several other girls followed, one of whom had nine yellow fox tails, and a figure in what looked like armor.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Shino was said three times.
Sin Count 1853
"Mind if I ask your name?" The red head asked politely, putting her hand out. Shino looked at it cautiously before putting her hand in the girl's hand, seriously wondering just what was happening. 'Maybe the nightmare is almost over…' She thought with some slight happiness. "Shino." She said, giving her name. "No last name? Alright then, My name is Meiling, these are Renko, Ran, Nitori, Sayaka and Kasen." Meiling said, pointing at each girl as she introduced them.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Not only was Shino said twice in this paragraph, she DOES have a last name! It's Asada. So for that, three more sins will be added, going from two to five.
Sin Count: 1858
"What do you want?" Shino asked. "Let's just say… actually you know what, screw it, I'm giving you the full explanation. We're from Gensokyo, and the human world ended. So while our scavenging crew was searching the ruins of the human city they found out about several servers filled with trapped people, and we are here to get you out Shino." Meiling said, trying to keep it as simple as possible. "Life it's going to be that easy, if you haven't noticed I'm dead." Shino said, referring to her IRL body. Meiling however put her hand on her shoulder. "We just entered this world in our own bodies Shino, you go through that gap, and what you are now becomes your real body." Meiling said, Shino looking at her like she was crazy before looking at her closer. No health bar, no info, no nothing. "Suppose you are telling the truth." Shino suggested as she turned around and took a peak at the wastes again, just in case.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Shino was said six times in this paragraph.
Sin Count: 1864
"Shino… the one who got us in here, Yukari, she's been monitoring this world ever since the crew found the servers, and she knows how screwed up everyone in here is… except you, she specifically sent us in here to save you… the one human in Gun Gale that isn't crazy or unstable." Kasen said truthfully. "What's the catch." Shino said, just knowing there was a catch, there had to be. "Our job is twofold, keep you alive, or get you out… and take out all the psychos in this world. And we want your help, but we can do it alone if you don't want to." Ran said, Shino thinking for a moment. 'They want to save me… they actually want to save me… guess I'm pretty dam lucky.' Shino thought before looking back at the group. "I'm not going to say I trust you… but I'll work with you. Cleaning this place up is something that should be done… and recently I was attacked, so I've more then likely got incoming from the Gunners, if you know who those are." Shino said, Meiling nodding. "We got a simple briefing that they are one of the main factions here, so let's get to work." Meiling said as the other girls flew off the tower to get ready, just in case, Meiling staying behind for a moment with Shino. "You don't have to fight Shino, it's you're choice." Meiling said calmly, in almost a pleading tone, trying to get her to leave.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Shino was said seven more times.
Sin Count: 1871
"Meiling… I've been here for a very long time, and I stood idle while this world went to hell. This is my nightmare, and I can't just sit idly by with knights in shining armor rescuing me… I'm going to get out of this nightmare, with my own merit, and with your help." Shino said. "Alright… just try to stay safe." Meiling said before jumping off the tower, Shino looking over the edge as Meiling ran down the side of the tower and jump off before leaning against a wall for cover and being hidden. 'So it begins… my path to redemption!" Shino thought as she aimed her rifle at the wastes. Now all they had to do was wait.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Well at least she's not gonna sit it out.
Omega E The Reader: Yeah I know…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Don't get used to proactive measures like that. The rest of the story will have a lot more cases of individuals sitting Incidents out.
Omega E The Reader: No sin?
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Only for the three times Shino is said in this paragraph.

AN: And here we have it, SAO with one group, who just ended up MISSING Kirito and split up, one half on top the other half on the bottom and the Survivors in the middle. In ALO we have a rather… weird thing going on with Leafa and Eugene, but you try staying trapped for two years with your former enemy turned best friend and try to not have some feeling for the other. And then GGO… It's going to be a bloodbath, basically a Black Ops mission, Eliminate all hostiles… to keep them from spreading. Most badass moments are going to come from Gun Gale I assure you, these girls brought magic and in Meiling and Kasen's case their FISTS to a massive gun fight.
On the next Chapter, The spilt push from top and bottom, Marisa meeting the leaders of Alfheim (guess how THAT is going to end) and the attack by the gunners. Please read and review, that is all I ask you. And thanks for your support guys and girls.
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Magic and fists, but no guns.
Omega E The Reader: Right…
Lunatic-Over'9000'Lord: Something that should be there is missing.
