As they were walking back to Port Isle, they discussed about Kirito. “Say, Yuki. What do you think of Kirito? Has he changed since SAO?" Leon asked.

“E-eh? Umm..... I think he has become more friendly. Ah and also, he's stronger."

“Eh.... He was already strong to begin with though..... Anyways, I can't wait to see him again tomorrow! I'll perfect my skills and challenge him again tomorrow!"

Just as Leon finished his sentence, a mysterious glow emitted from both of them, followed by a bell.

“!! What's happening?!" Leon was shocked and then a very loud scream was heard just behind him.

“Yuki!! Oi, Yuki!! What's wrong?! YUKI!!!" Leon ran up to Yuki and hugged her tightly. Yuki was screaming. Her whole body was shaking frantically. “T-This i-is just like what h-happened back in SAO........ I-It's happening again......" Yuki started crying.

“What...... That incident is going to repeat itself? Yuki, don't worry! I'll protect you!" Leon hugged her more tightly and they were forced teleported back to Port Isle.

A lot of players were getting teleported as well. Many were shocked and chaos started its reign on Port Isle. 5 minutes later, there was no one being teleported to Port Isle and a huge dome barrier appeared around Port Isle.

“Oi! What in the hell is going on?" One of the players shouted.

“This barrier! We can't pass it!"

“Let us out of here!"

“This is no joke man! Let us out right now!"

The players were busy pounding on the barrier. They wanted to escape of the barrier.

Suddenly, a number appeared in the direction of the bell tower. 100 000. A figure started appearing. It wore a hoodie and its eyes glowed red.

“Good evening, players of SVO. My name is Rei Kurahara, the developer of SVO. I'm so happy to see so many of you players just on the first day of the launch of SVO. I thank you for your support."

“Don't bullshit with us! Why did you trap us all in here?! You can't possibly be only thanking us right?!" One of the players shouted.

“Hahaha. It seems that I have been found out. Yes. It is indeed true. I have called you all to Port Isle to tell you something. But before that, please check your console. There should be a log out button there."

“Oh! There really is a log out button! Let's get out here right now!" Players then started pressing the log out button and soon everyone pressed it, including Leon and Yuki.

“Huh?! What's happening?! Why am I not logging out?!"

“Yea, what's wrong?!"

Players then started panicking.

“Hahaha. Players of SVO. What you have just pressed was the button which you will regret pressing."

“D-Does he mean that we just...... locked ourselves in this world forever....." Leon was shocked. He thought that he could save Yuki before anything happens but in actual fact, he has pulled her into trouble.

“Do you all remember the incident of SAO? Akihiko Kayaba had asked everyone to look into a mirror and they foolishly obeyed him. I am smarter than him. I have developed SVO just so that I can prove that I am more powerful and smarter than he is. I welcome you all, officially, to the world of SVO! That tower behind me. The Tower of Clouds. Climb that and reach Floor 100. I will challenge anyone who reaches there. If anyone defeats me, I will release all 100 000 of you. Now I'm sure that you all should know that by now, you will die when your HP bar reaches 0. Please be careful in your journey up the Tower of Clouds. I will be waiting." Rei then vanished with an evil laugh.
The players then remained silent for a while. They were stunned by the fact that they were literally trapped in the game and is about to repeat what happened three years ago.

“Shit! Why?! Why does it have to be like this!" One of the players then ran towards the gate and left Port Isle. Leon, seeing Yuki so shaken, carried her and chased after the player to see if he is going to test what Rei Kurahara ssid was true.

“I don't believe that load of bullshit! As if I'll die! Argh!!!" The player then drew his sword and charged at a level 5 boar. Leon looked at the HP bar of the player. Archie Lvl 2. “!! He's not going to survive an attack from that boar! Oi, you over there! Retreat immediately! You won't survive!!" Leon was too late. The player, Archie's HP bar dropped to 0 and he shattered into pieces.

“....... Ah.......... W..What the hell....." Leon dropped to his knees. Moments later, panic grew in Port Isle again. This time, it was because the player who just died did not resurrect.

“Leon-nii chan....... A-Are we going to die?...... I don't want to die!! I don't want to relive that ever again!!" Yuki then burst into tears.

Remaining silent for a while, Leon then raised his head and clenched his fists. “Don't worry. I will protect you..... I won't let you down, Yuki. I promised you, didn't I? At the character customisation screen? I'll protect you with my life. So, let's forget about the past and face the future..... So what if we are going to die when our HP bar reaches 0? If we are strong enough, we won't ever experience that! So, in the name of Kirito, we have to be him! We have to become as strong as he is. But to do that, you have to forget about the past and confront the future. I'll be with you. Now, let's go." Leon stood up and offered his hand to Yuki.

“Go where?" Yuki started to stop crying and grabbed Leon's hand.

“To the next town, Arch Land. The faster we reach there, the better it is for us."

“Ok Leon-nii chan. Let's go." With this, the two of them looked into the horizon and stared at the Tower of Clouds, both determined to live through this.

Hi, all! I hope you liked it so far! I did say it was a SAO, ALO and GGO fanfic but there won't be much of Kirito in this story. Maybe as I develop this, I might add in bits of flashbacks of Leon and Yuki with Kirito. Of course, Asuna, Silica, Liz and Sinon will be featured too:) Without them, you can't call it an SAO fanfic can you?
This concludes what happens to Leon and Yuki for now. Next chapter will be featuring Kirito and co. Hope you'll vote for this story:)
Also to kick off the mood, I have put up SAO op 1 tv size! Hope you enjoyed it:)
