Suguha: you were giving me a chance...that's what I thought. But I'd never known this would happened. I wish you'd never met me. If you had. I wouldn't have realized my feelings for you...or been sad to learn about Asuna...or fallen in love with Kitsune instead of you!!

Yami: Suguha...I'm...sorry...I wanted to...make...you...happy...

Suguha: just...leave me alone...

She closes the door.

Kazuto: Ever since then, I couldn't make sense of the distance I felt from my family. "I'm not a true child of this family." I learned this when I was ten years old. "Who is she really?" "Can I honestly say I know her?" Maybe that strange feeling of not fitting in one of the things that drive me to online gaming. An artificial world, where no one really knows anything about each other. I immersed myself in that comfortable world.

Then he had flashbacks from the two years of SAO.

Kazuto: but my two years in SAO led me to a certain truth. There's not meaningful difference between a real and virtual world. It's pointless to ask anyone who they really are. All you can do is accept and believe in them. Because whoever they are in your mind is their true identity. When I returned to the real world and saw Sugu's face, I was happy from the bottom of my heart. But when Yami arrived that feeling grew, I was able to bond with him. He's the strong guy but seeing him so exposed like mean it hurts that he felt pain, sadness and regret. He wants to save everyone and have them be happy.

Then Yami was now back to normal.

Yami: We'll wait for you in Arun on the north terrace.

Then they left and went back to the game.

Suguha: after I said such horrible things...you're really strong, Yami. But I can't be that strong. Back then, I told you to do your best, not to give up. But now, I can't stop crying.

She looks at her AmuSphere and logs back in.

Leafa*inhale/exhale* but what can I say?

Recon: Leafa!!

Leafa: huh?

He was in front of her.

Recon: I've been looking everywhere for you, Leafa.

Leafa: R-Recon? Didn't the Salamanders catch you?

Recon: I poisoned them all and escaped.

Leafa: poisoned them?

Recon: and then I followed you. Hey, where is that Spriggan and the Half demon?

Leafa: well..well, you see...I said something mean to them...something I shouldn't have say. I'm an idiot. I'm sorry for saying weird stuff. I won't be seeing them anymore so let's go back to Sylvain.

Recon: Leafa...

He ran down, stops her and grabs her hands.

Recon: Leafa!! You can't cry, Leafa!!

Leafa: wh-what?

Recon: if you aren't smiling, you aren't really Leafa. I....I'll always stay with you!! I'll never leave you alone, here or in the real world!!

Leafa: wai-

Recon: I-I....Leafa...Suguha, I like you!!

Leafa: Um...wait!! What are you doing!!

Then she punches him which he falls down the stairs.

Leafa: A-are you okay?

Recon: Ow...It's strange. I was positive the only question left was whether I had the guts to ask you out...

Leafa: you really are a moron, aren't you.*giggles* I could learn a thing or two from you sometimes.

Yui: Leafa, there you are!!

Leafa: Yui?

Yui: papa already told me what happened.

Leafa: He did? W-What do you think of it? I-I
mean, I'm sorry if this breaks Yami's
relationship with your aunties and mom.

Yui: It's okay. I do mind a little. But Papa
likes you. So, I can't stop him from liking you two.

This took Leafa by her as she was surprise.

Leafa: Really? But don't your aunty mind Yeah. I mean what if she doesn't like me?

Yui: I think she'll be surprise. But don't
Worry, I'm sure Papa will explain it to her. Come on!! Let's meet papa!!

(Meanwhile)

Kirito and Kitsune were waiting in Arun. They see Leafa flying and lands on the ground.

Kitsune: hey.

Leafa: Here I am.

Kirito: Sugu-

Leafa: Yami, I want to have a duel with you. I haven't seen what you can do in kendo.

Kitsune: okay, no handicaps, for me no using powers. Yui stay with your uncle, okay?

Yui: yes papa.

She flies to Kirito's shoulder as Yami takes out Rebellion.

Kitsune who did the exact same stand that Kirito back at the dojo which surprise.

Leafa: huh, he's did what brother did back at the dojo. Here I go!!

She charges at him as he blocks her attack. He swings Rebellion but Leafa barely dodges the attack.

Leafa: that was a close one!!

She uses her wings to fly as Yami uses his devil wings to chase after her. They swing their swords and clashed as Leafa flies up to a floating rock as she has her sword up while Yami lands on a pillar.

Leafa:....

Tears came out of her eyes. Both charged each to clash swords but Leafa let go of her sword. Yami let's go of Rebellion and catches her.

Kitsune: Leafa...

Leafa: yeah?

Kitsune: I want to apologize to you, about that. I don't know what to say though. So I though not using my powers would at least give you a chance to get a free shot.

Leafa: you did too?

He tightens the hug as black tears flown out of Yami's eyes.

Kitsune: I'm sorry, Suguha.

Leafa: I am sorry too, Yami.

Kitsune: well actually...I you know tabt I told about the Multi-relationship. Well...

He said with blush face while Leafa shocked
and surprised at this. Her crush had not one
girlfriend but five including a boyfriend and that was real.

Leafa: Huh?! You have five girlfriends!? And a boyfriend!?

Kitsune: Yeah. It's rather complicated at
first but Asuna and Sachi is the one that let me have a harem.

Leafa shocked but smile then thinking she
may have a chance.

Meanwhile, The Rebellion and Leafa's sword were embedded in the ground below them and they were positioned in a cross, with the sun's light shining in between the swords.

(Replace Kirito's sword with Rebellion)

After Yami explained what happened, Leafa was more shocked that he's dating her adopted brother/cousin, but smiles thinking that she can be with the person she loves as well. Then the three of them had met back at the entrance of
Yggdrasil and Recon was there as well

Recon: Um... Wh-What's going on?

He asked towards Yami, Kirito and Leafa
who were standing in front of him.

Leafa: We're raiding the World Tree.... with them.

She pointing her finger towards the smiling
Kitsune and Kirito.

Leafa: You.

She then pointed her finger to Recon.

Leafa: And me.

She pointed to herself.

Leafa: The four of us.

Recon: A-All right..... Wait..... What?!

Kitsune: Yui. Are you there?

Then Yui pops up.

Yui: yes papa?

Kitsune: the stats from the guardians are low right?

Yui: yes their individual stats are not that high but they're so many them that this quest was never meant to be possible.

Kitsune: so together, they add up to a single, unbeatable boss?

Yui: However, with your skills, summons, exp, it will be possible to break through with a burst of speed.

Kitsune: hey guys, I'm sorry to ask, but would mind humoring me one last time? Somehow, I feel like there isn't much time left.

Leafa: I'll dk whatever I can. And so will he.

Recon: well, Leafa and I are joined at the hip anyway.

Leafa: don't get carried away!!

Recon: I'm sorry...

Then she has her hand up.

Leafa: let's do our best.

Recon has his hand on Leafa's same with Kirito and Yui as they looked at Yami.

Yami: come on, let's do this.

They fist bump each other.

Kitsune: thanks you theee. Okay, I'll take care of the guardians. My pokemon team, my personas/demons, soul reapers and Arrancar will back you up, Leafa don't heal me.

Leafa: what!?

Kitsune: I know the Guardians will target the the healers to support the player. So, you shouldn't heal me or else you'll be targeted.

Leafa: Okay...

Kitsune: It doesn't mean I don't want your
help. If you see that I'm in danger, you can
heal me, okay? But you have to heal from the
rear, with my regeneration the healing will be quicker.

Leafa then nodded with a smile.

Leafa: Okay!

Kitsune: And Kirito can you protect the two of them witb your blade?

Kirito: yes, I'll do my best.

Kitsune: Now, let's go!!

They walked and fly up but Kirito stayed with Leafa and Recon as Yami's pokemon team, his personas, demons, soul reapers and Arrancar stayed to help Kirito.

Yami who has the Yamoto ready as the guardains charges him but he silices 10 down as he slides back and slashes so quickly that he appears to only unsheath and resheath Yamato. A cone shaped distortion protrudes outward from Yami and within that distortion forms a dark purple orb that causes a a more intense visual distortion that is then covered in slashes.

(I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROACHING!!)

Recon: no way....that was so fast...I couldn't even see it.

Yoruichi: it was so fast that I couldn't catch up.

Yami: scum....everyone send out your attacks!!

Then everyone did their attacks.

Ichigo: Getsuga Tenshou!!

Byakuya: "Scatter" Senbonzakura.

Gin: Shoot to Kill, Shinso.

Rukia: Hido 31# Shakkaho!!

Aizen: Hido 99# Goryūtenmetsu...

Star uses Dragon Pulse, Darkrai uses Dark Pulse, Cressilia uses Psybeam, Regi Trio used their attacks and Regigigas uses Zen Headbutt. All the attack combined into one large attack and defeated all enemies that were in. More spawned in but The Sylph army and the Cait Sith army joins the battle.

Kirito: well you're here for the party!!

Leafa: Sakuya, Ailica!!

Ailica: sorry, it took some time to get our gears ready.

Sakuya: well we couldn't miss the great party, with Kitsune, Kirito.

Recon: this is so cool!!

Renji: second time is gonna be better kid!!

Alicia: Dragons, ready breath attack!!

Sakuya: Sylphs, prepare for additional offensives!!

The guardians charges towards them but Ailcia yells in order.

Alicia: fire breath!! Attack!!

The dragons shoot out fire from their mouths taking down many guardians, Sakuya orders them to attack.

Sakuya: Fenrir Storm...fire!!

The Sylph army's sword shoot out lightning from the tip taking down more guardians.

Leafa: thank you!' Thank you both so much!!

Sakuya: no need to thank us. We own that to that Spriggan and Kitsune quite a lot.

Alicia: and we only had enough money for the raid because of him.

Leafa wipes the tears off as Sakuya closes her fan.

Sakuya: all forces, charge!!

The Forces: ORA!!!

They all charged and attacking the guardians. Some were able to hit the players but able to get help from the dragons as Yami uses a Soma to fully restore their health and MP, he also uses a Untouchable for everyone to have a increased power.

Kitsune: everyone, fight for your people!!

Sakuya: don't hesitate!! Keep going!!

Two guardians charges at her. She was going to attack but Leafa swoops in and attacks them. She smiles as Leafa gets behind of Yami's back same with Kirito.

Kitsune: Sugu...I got your back.

Leafa: and you got my back, Yami.

Kirito: I got yours.

One of the Guardians attacked but Yami quickly slices in half.

Skauya: follow them!!

They all did as they attack the Guardians. Everyone blasted them.

Yami: Kirito!! Catch!!

He throws him Rebellion, Kirito catches it and both combined to create a drilling attack to drill all guardians.

Leafa: Yami, brother...go...GO!!

The scream eachs towards them as they screamed to reach towards the light. They hit a stone rock. Sakuya smiles

Sakuya: Everyone, fall back!! We're withdrawing!!

They all fly back down, The pokemon, soul reapers, Raven, his personas, demons and Arrancar returned to Yami's mind as Leafa looks above.

Leafa: fly...fly forever. Keep flying through the sky. To the core of the World.

Meanwhile Yami and Kirio were at the door. Kirito was confused.

Kirito: what the? It's not opening!?

Yami: the card!!

He takes out the card.

Yami: Yui, use this!!

Yui takes the code and puts her hand on the door. The door then opens.

Yui: papa, uncle!! Your hands!! We're going to be teleported!!

They hold their hands as they teleported away.
