No one's POV

After being teleported by Yui. Zora, Kirito and Rio were all in a white hallway and both Yui and Rio were no longer in their Pixie form.

Rio and Yui: Papa...? Papa...?

Kirito: Yui?

Zora: Rio?

Kirito: Where are we?

Yui: I don't know. There's no mapping data available.

Zora: That aside, do you guys know where Asuna is?

Rio: Yes. She's close...very close in fact. This way!

Both Yui and Rio then started to run down the hallway and both Kirito and Zora started to follow them and the two of them turned the corner and made a door in the wall and both Kirito and Zora followed them through it and continued to follow them and they were outside of the tree and they saw what it looked like a pathway on the tree branch.

Kirito: Is this it? Is this the top of the Yggdrasil?

Zora: There's nothing but trees here? There's suppose to be a floating city up here...?

Kirito: Your right, there was any Grand Quest. This whole damn thing was a lie! He's gonna pay!

Zora then looked up and saw a bird cage at the top of the tree.

Zora: Look!

Kirito, Yui, and Rio looked up and saw the bird cage as well.

Kirito: But first, let's all get Asuna together.

The 4 of them continued to run up the path leading to the bird cage and once they reached it, they found Asuna. Asuna was laying against her bed and Yui called out to her.

Yui: Mama!

Asuna got straight up and turned around and saw Kirito and Zora and Yui and Rio standing in front of the door and Asuna started crying seeing them and Yui made the door shattered and she ran up to Asuna and hugged her.

Yui: Mama!

Asuna: Yui!

Yui: Mama...Mama!

Kirito then walked in and went straight to Asuna and she smiled at him.

Asuna: Kirito.

Kirito: Asuna.

Kirito and Asuna hugged each other and pressed their foreheads together.

Kirito: Hey, sorry I took so long.

Asuna: No, it's okay. I always knew you save me.

Asuna then looked back at the door and saw Zora and she was completely surprised.

Asuna: Zora? Is it really you?

Zora: It's me alright. I'm so glad your save.

Asuna: Why are you here?

Zora: How could I do nothing when my friend is in tro-. No I mean was how could I do nothing when my big sister was trouble?

Asuna smiled at him and walked up and hugged him tightly and he hugged her back.

Asuna: Thank you, for coming to save me, little bro.

Asuna then looked behind Zora and saw Rio.

Asuna: Who is she?

Zora: This is Rio. She is mine and Philia's daughter. So that means she's your niece.

Asuna looked surprised and Rio smiled at her.

Rio: Is nice to finally meet you, Aunty. Papa, Uncle and Yui talked so much about you. I wanted to meet you for so long.

Rio then hugged Asuna tightly and Asuna smiled at her and hugged her back.

Asuna: Is nice to meet you Rio. And thank you for coming here.

Kirito: Yui, Rio, can the two of you log Asuna out from here?

Rio: Aunty's status is lock by complicated logs that we don't have access to.

Yui: We need to find a system console to bypass them.

Asuna: I found a console on the laboratory. I ca-

Before Asuna could finish her sentence, the area surrounding them started to change and they all started to get pulled down to the floor.

Zora: Rio... what's happening?

Both Rio and Yui started to spark.

Yui: Papa! Mama! Uncle!

Rio: Be careful...somethings bad coming.

Both Yui and Rio disappeared into Pixels.

Kirito and Asuna: Yui!

Zora: Rio!

The force pulling them down get even stronger and suddenly they heard a voice.

???: What a surprise... The lasting I expected to find two cockroaches in my little bird cage.

Both Zora and Kirito looked up and saw a man with blonde hair and fairy wings.

Kirito: You gotta be kidding... it's Sugou?

Zora:...

Sugou: I prefer if you didn't call me that name in this world. You should address me as your Highness, the Fairy King Oberon!

Sugou then kicked Zora and Kirito to the ground and he put his foot on Zora's head.

Asuna: Kirito! Zora!

Sugou then started to grind his foot on Zora's head.

Sugou: Zora? The hero of SAO. Or should I say Sora Yatagami!

Asuna and Kirito looked completely shocked when they heard that.

Kirito: What the?

Asuna: Yatagami? You mean, the previous Vice President of RCT. My father's right hand...

Zora:...

Sugou continued to smirk at Zora and he spoke up.

Zora: Nobuyuki Sugou, I never like you when we first met 9 years ago. But now you disgust me! You bastard!

Sugou: Oh well, want to know why the two of you can't move? Is a little something called Gravity Magic, coming out in the next update. You think the players will go for it?

Asuna: Leave them alone... you coward!

Sugou: Tell me something, Kirigaya, Yatagami... or should I call you Kirito and Zora instead? How did the two of you managed to get all the way up here? I saw a strange program running, is that how?

Zora: We flew up here, with our wings.

Sugou then took both Zora's and Kirito's swords from their back.

Sugou: Suit yourself. If you don't want to tell me that's fine, I'll just go ask your mind instead.

Kirito: What?

Sugou: Oh please, you both really think I went to all that trouble setting this whole thing up just for fun, did you? I have 300 hundred former players of SAO under my thumb, and now thanks to their dedicated cooperation, the technology I develop for total control for emotions and though is 80% complete. I'm about to achieve what no one else have, the total control of a human souls! The power of a GOD! Is so close I can almost taste it! Seriously, thank GOD for virtual reality!

Sugou then started laughing maniacally and Zora nd Kirito glared at him.

Zora: You bastard!

Kirito: Sugou!

Asuna: You're never gonna get away with these, you here! You monster!

Sugou: Who do you think is going to stop me? Maybe a God, but sadly there's none on this world. Except for yours truly! I know, before I start tinkering with your little souls, why don't we have ourselves a little fun!

Sugou then snapped his finger and suddenly shains and shackels fell from the sky in front of Asuna and he started to put them on her.

Kirito: You bastard, leave her alone!

Sugou then looked back with a smug on his face and he lifted his finger and Asuna was hoisted up and held in place with the chains.

Sugou: Now!

The gravity magic started to pull Asuna down as she was being held up and Sugou continued to smirked.

Sugou: Great! That's what I was hoping for! You can't get NPC's girls faces like that!

Sugou then grabbed Asuna's hair and started snuffing it.

Sugou: You smell lovely. Figuring out the way you smell the same way in your real life was a challenge. And don't get me started on how hard it was to analyzed it on your hospital room undetected?

Kirito: Stop it!

Zora: Get away from her!

Both Zora and Kirito started to stand up weakly and Sugou just sighed.

Sugou: Give me a break. Why don't the both of you stay down and grovel like a good little doggy!

Sugou then picked up their swords and kicked both of them in the face and stabbed both of them in the face and stabbed them through their backs, pinning them to the ground and Asuna looked horrified.

Asuna: Kirito! Zora!

Sugou: System command! Change the pain absorber, from level 10 to level 8.

Zora and Kirito: AAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Sugou then set the pain to level 8 and both Zora and Kirito cried out in pain from the swords being stabbed through them.

Sugou: Hurts, doesn't it? I'll increase the pain gradually, to something to look forward to. By the way, once it drop below level 3 it will start effecting your body on the real world. As for you...

Sugou then walked up to Asuna and started to feel up her body.

Kirito: Stop it, Sugou...

Zora: Get away from her!

Asuna: It's okay, Kirito, Zora. Whatever he does he's not really hurting me.

Sugou: I was hoping you said that. But I wonder how long your pride's going to last? 30 minutes? An hour? Why don't we see how long you can hang on to it!

Sugou then ripped off Asuna's top, exposing her upper body and Zora and Kirito could only watch helplessly and Sugou then walked behind Asuna and started to feel her even more.

Sugou: Now that that's out of the way, would you like to know what I'm thinking? Once we had our fun here, I'm gonna pay you a visit at the hospital. I'll set up a big monitor and played back a recording of this, and we can enjoy ourselves all over again. With your real body.

Asuna's eyes widened when Sugou said that and she started to tear up even more from the thought.

Zora: STOP IT!! LET HER GO THIS INSTANCE!!!

Sugou then looked at Zora and smirked at him.

Sugou: And also this time, your parents won't be here to stop me! Unlike the last time.

Zora glared at him.

Zora: What are you?

Sugou: I mean, who else I'm talking about? With them gone there's no one who can stop me anymore! It was worth it hacking into their bank account!

Zora's eyes widened in realization so was Kirito and Asuna.

Zora: You mean...?

Sugou: That's right! I was the one who framed them! They managed to figure out my plan ahead of time. So I know that if I don't do something, all of these wouldn't be possible. I was the one who stole the money and deposit them into their account. And after they were gone, the money belongs to me.

Zora, Kirito and Asuna looked completely and utterly shocked at what he just said and Zora looked at Sugou completely furious.

Kirito: Damn you, Sugou...!

Asuna: How could you?!

Zora: YOU BASTARD!! BECAUSE OF YOU!!! MY LIFE WAS RUIN!!! ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!!

Sugou: They try to ruin my plan. All I did was take out the trash. And no one can stop me now.

Sugou then licked one of Asuna's tears and he smug.

Sugou: Yummy...how sweet!

Sugou continued to lick Asuna's tears and faces and Zora and Kirito looked at him completely furious.

Kirito: SUGOU, YOU BASTARD!!

Zora: LEAVE HER ALONE!!

Zora tried to fight against the gravity and pulled himself up looking at Sugou completely furious.

Zora: I'll kill you! YOU HEAR ME!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!! I'M TORTURE YOU UNTIL YOU BEG FOR MERCY AND BREAK YOUR NECK!!!

Zora continued tp try and pull against the gravity and was constantly thinking of everything that happened to him in his life. His parents framed, their deaths, abandoned, bullied, meeting his big sister Rumia and her death and the gravity magic was to strong and slammed him back down and he started crying.

Zora(mind): Why is this happening? Is this my punishment? For doing the right thing? Am I this powerless? Am I just gonna sit back and let him get what he wants?

As Zora continues to cry, powerless to stop Sugou, a voice started to talk to him.

???: Are giving up? Are you going to run away?

Zora: NO...I'm facing reality...

???: Then you are giving up! To the power of the system you once defied. What happened to those unbreakable will I witness before? Or that was just a lie?

Zora: What choice do I have...? I'm just a player... and he's the Game Master.

???: Then our battle was what, a joke? Do you remember the power you showed me. The power of the human will was superior to the system. How you showed me the power of the possibilities of the future.

Zora: You're...

Kayaba:Get up! Stand up once more, nephew!

Zora then opened his eyes and started to pull himself up and Asuna and Kirito saw this.

Zora: Your attacks are weak. The blades in SAO hit way harder...

Sugou then looked back at Zora who was getting up.

Zora: And they are way more... more than you could ever know!

Zora then stood fully and his sword fell to the ground and Sugou started to walk over to him.

Sugou: Unbelievable, I've got a few bugs left to deal with.

Sugou then went to hit Zora, but he grabbed his arm and Sugou looked at him shocked and Zora glared at him and all three of them saw that Zora's eyes was yellow-gold instead of his normal blue.

Zora: System Login... ID Heathcliff.

Sugou then looked at Zora completely shocked as different system windows appeared around him and Kirito and Asuna also looked at him shocked.

Sugou: Wh-What? Whose ID are you using?!

Zora: System command. Enable Administrator privileges. Set ID Oberon to level 1. Dispel gravity magic and revert pain absorber back to 10 for ID: Kirito.

Sugou was then turned into a normal player and his Administrator Privilege were taken away and the Gravity Magic disappeared and Kirito stood up and Sugou looked at Zora completely and utterly shocked.

Sugou: An Id that outranks mine? That's impossible! This is my world! I'm the creator! I'm its ruler! It's King! Its GOD!

Zora: No, I don't think so. You stole everything in this world. Everything, including its people! You're nothing but a king of thieves, sitting alone on your stolen throne!

Sugou then looked at Zora completely furious.

Sugou: You little punk...! You dare! You dare talk to me like that...! Do you want to happen the same thing like your parents did?! System Command: Generate Object ID Excalibur!!

Sugou tried to summon in an object but nothing happened.

Sugou: Do as i say you piece of crap! System! Your God is ordering you to comply!

Zora then looked at Kirito and Asuna.

Zora: Kirito, go to Asuna. This is between me and him. And Asuna can you wait a little bit longer? This will only take a sec.

Kirito and Asuna smiled at him and nodded.

Kirito: Right.

Kirito walked over to Asuna and Zora glared at Sugou.

Zora: System Command! Generate Object: ID Excalibur!

Suddenly, the Holy Sword Excalibur then spawned and appeared on Zora's hand.

Zora: A simple commands summons a legendary weapon. Who knew?

Zora then threw the Excalibur at Sugou and he barely caught it and Zora kicked his sword into the air and caught it and pointed his sword at Sugou.

Zora: It's time to settle the score. The kKing of Thieves vs the Gilded Hero!

Sugoua step back and looked at Zora terrified.

Zora: System command: Set Pain Absorber to 0.

Sugou then looked at Zora completely shocked.

Sugou: No-No that?!

Zora: Did you just flinch?! Cause the other guy never flinch, no matter how bad things got! You know him, my Uncle, Akihiko Kayaba!

Sugou and even Kirito and Asuna looked at Zora completely shocked.

Sugou: Y-Y-Your uncle?! Kayaba's your Uncle?! Oh my God. I get it... that was his ID... Why? You're supposed to be dead? Why are you still getting in my way! You are always doing this! Acting all high and mighty! Taking everything that was rightfully mine! You! His parents! Even him! You and your whole family!

Zora: Sugou...In a way I get where your coming from. I lost to him too. And I had to go work for him. But, whatever happen I never wanted to be him. Trying to steal everything for your own personal game.

Sugou: You goddamned brat!

Sugou tries to slashed Zora, but he effortlessly blocked his attacks and Zora slashed his cheeks and Sugou cried out in pain.

Sugou: That hurts!

Zora: Hurts, doesn't it? But it's nothing to the pain you made me and Asuna feels. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!

Zora then slashed Sugou's arm, cutting it off and Sugou cried out even more and had multiple tears in his eyes.

Sugou: Ma hand! My hand!

Zora then walked up and cut Sugou in half and his lower body had disappeared.

Zora then picked up Sugou by the hair and held him up and Sugou looked at Zora completely terrified.

Zora: Your done!!

Zora then tossed Sugou's body into the air and he raised his sword up and Sugou's face fell onto the blade of Zora's sword, killing him and bursting into pixels.

Zora:...

Zora then looked over at Asuna and Kirito and he walked over and cut down Asuna from her chains and Kirito caught her and the two of them held each other tightly.

Asuna: I had fate in you. And I still do. And I know that you'll always save me. Because you are my hero.

Kirito: That isn't true. I don't have any power. I'm not a hero. If it wasn't for Zora...I wouldn't been able to save you. But, I'll do my best to be one.

Zora: I haven't done anything that deserve your praise. I just don't want to lose person I care.

Zora then looked down saddened.

Zora: Just like how I lost her.

Asuna then walked up behind Zora and warp her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

Asuna: You didn't lost her... Your Big Sister, Rumia is still with you. She'll always be... right here.

Asuna then pointed at Zora's heart.

Asuna: Not just her. Your parents, Philia, even us. We'll always be with you.

Zora then smiled and had tears on his eyes.

Zora: Yeah your right.

(Flashback)

Rumia: No matter what world your in. No matter where you go. I'll always be by your side and I'll always love you, little brother.

(Present)

Zora then looked back towards Asuna and Kirito and they both smiled at him.

Zora: Come on, let's go home.

Zora then pulled down his menu and went to log out Asuna.

Kirito: It's gotta be nighttime already back there. But I'll see you at the hospital as soon as I can.

Asuna: I'll be waiting for you. I want you to be the first person I see when I wake up.

Asuna then looked at Zora.

Asuna: Will you please come too?

Zora looked at Asuna surprised.

Asuna: Of course, I want to see my little bro.

Zora smiled at her.

Zora: Sure, I'll be there.

Asuna: Good. It's finally over, isn't it? We're going home, back to the real world.

Kirito: That's right. But a lot has change so try not to freak out.

Zora then hit the log out button and log Asuna out and he disappeared and Kirito looked at Zora.

Kirito: Zora... I can't thank you enough for everything. Thank you for being the best brother I could ever hope.

Zora: No, It's alright. You don't have to thank me. That's brother's for, right?

Kirito: Right! I'll text you the address and the rooms Asuna's at.

Zora: Right, I'll see you there.

Kirito smiled at him and logged out and Zora closed his eyes.

Zora: It's all over. What do you think, Heathcliff. Or Uncle.

Kayaba then appeared in front of Zora.

Kayaba: Good to see you again, Zora.

Zora: So you are alive?

Kayaba: You could say I'm alive, in a way. Ultimately I'm the after image of the mind that was Akihiko Kayaba. An Echo.

Zora: And as usual, I have no idea what are you talking about? But thank you.

Kayaba: That's not necessary.

Zora: What do you mean?

Kayaba: Even though we are family you shouldn't accepts favor from each other. There's always a price.

Zora: Okay, what do you want me to do?

Suddenly, a bright light appeared above Zora and descended onto his hand and he looked at it.

Zora: What's this?

Kayaba: The beginnings of a new world. I call it "The Seed".

Zora: The Seed?

Kayaba: Once its sprout, you'll know what it is. What you do with it is up to you. You can even delete it if you want? However, if you still have a tiny bit of fondness left for the Virtual World. You'll take care of it.

Zora didn't say anything and just looked at the seed.

Kayaba: I should get going now. I do hope we meet again, Nephew.

Zora: Goodbye, Uncle.

Zora then was consume by a binding light and he returned back to the bird cage.

Zora: Rio! Yui! Are you okay? Where are you?

Rio and Yui then appeared in front of Zora and the two of them hugged him tightly.

Rio: Papa!

Yui: Uncle!

Zora: Thank goodness. The both of you are safe.

Rio: Yup. We hid ourselves inside the local memory of your's and Uncle's NerveGear rig.

Yui: Where's is Papa and Mama?

Zora smile at the two of them.

Zora: Don't worry, your Papa and Mama is save. And your Mama is back home now.

Yui: Mama's back? Thank goodness.

Rio and Yui had tears on their eyes and hugged Zora even tighter.

Zora: I promise that we'll be back to visit soon. Although, I'm not sure how much longer these world is gonna be around?

Rio: It doesn't matter, because our core programs is inside your's and Uncle's NerveGear now. So we'll always be together.

Zora: Alright, I better head out. I'm gonna see them.

Zora the hit the logged out menu and log out
