Kirito and Zekken were running towards the meet up point changing their equipment equally as fast. "Sun's almost completely down, we'll be completely invisible" Zekken stated, "Didn't you just call me out for wearing black and you're putting black on right now" Kirito said, "Kirito you have too many sets of black clothes, you are literally putting on a separate black armor set! This one even has a face covering!" Zekken laughed. Kirito was about to say something but got cut off by another female dressed in black.

"Do you two ever go a day without flirting?" the girl asked, "WE'RE NOT FLIRTING!" Kirito and Zekken yelled at the same time, "Asuna you're just jealous no guy is talking to you like that" a boy, also dressed in black, said walking up to the group "Shut it Eiji" Asuna snapped at the boy, "This is quite the place to ambush a guild" Kirito said getting a good look at the area. The group was in a large field that had ruins of a tower scattered throughout the field. "Yuna and Klein are already in position and it's time we get into ours. Both guilds will be here shortly and we cannot be seen until Laughing Coffin makes a move. It would be best that mine and Kirito's guild don't find out about this since ours are the top to guilds." Asuna stated, "Is this what I miss out on in the guild meetings? Your bossy attitude?" Eiji remarked which made Kirito laugh. Asuna gave a sour look towards Eiji before releasing everyone to their positions.

Five minutes passed before more shadows appeared. "That's them, Lux was right" Asuna told Kirito since they were placed in the same position, "She's starting to become more reliable than Argo, wonder what her secret is. Also they definitely have tied up some ALS members" Kirito pointed out. Asuna then sent a message to everyone part of the team to attack on her signal. Once the Laughing Coffin members go to the spot Asuna and Kirito jumped over the wall they were behind. "Weapons down assholes!" Kirito yelled at the Laughing Coffin members, "Unless you're looking to fight!" Asuna added. Just then the rest of the group formed behind the two drawing their weapons. What shocked the Laughing Coffin members was the fact that Kirito was holding onto two blades.

"Uh, boss, these guys don't mess around. I've heard about them, the Black Swordsmen. Rumor has it they go around jailing or eliminating anything that could harm players." one of the members said. The other members began to show panic in their expression. "That's just a rumor, TO ARMS!" the supposed boss yelled as the guild drew their weapons. During all the talking the captured ALS members made their escape, help was also given from Yuna. "You won't be murdering anymore players Laughing Coffin, we finish you the others will surely come out of hiding" Eiji said pointing his sword at one of the members. Both groups were now in a stand still waiting for one of them to attack.

*On a hill near the area*

Eydis was watching intensely waiting to see who would make a move. She turned off her trackable location at the town, as much as she loved Alice and Eugeo she didn't want a scene to play out between them and Kirito's new group of friends. If there's been one thing Eydis has picked up it is that Alice has a little bit of a temper. While she was thinking she didn't hear the footsteps coming up behind her. "Well what do we have here?" a sinister voice said behind her. Before she could scream the figure put his hand over her mouth and began tying her up.

*Back in the field*

The standstill only lasted a few seconds as the Laughing Coffin members began charging at the Black Swordsmen. Swords began clashing as the fight broke out. Laughing Coffin outnumbered them but thanks to Kirito's dual blade he was able to take two at a time.

"Asuna! What's the call, do we kill them cause this is starting to get real tiring!" Kirito asked while blocking a strike from both sides, "No! We have a meeting coming up about the boss on this floor, none of us can show up as a red player!" Asuna yelled back at him, "Disarm them and use the jail teleport crystal!" Kirito cursed to himself being how he would have the hardest time doing that. "Kirito step to the left!" Eiji yelled at him, Kirito did so and Eiji stepped in to disarm one of the members Kirito was facing and sent him to jail. This left Kirito with an opening to do the exact same thing.

"Give up Laughing Coffin! We outnumber you now!" Kirito yelled as both groups reassembled facing each other, "You may outnumber us but you won't do anything to us as long as we have her!" one of the members said as another one brought Eydis next to him. "EYDIS!" Kirito yelled. Eydis tried to say something but struggled against the mans grip. "We heard your little conversation earlier, you've got a big meeting coming up so you won't be killing us! So watch as we kill one of your own!" the man lowered his sickle towards Eydis' neck. Kirito was enraged to the point all of his friends could feel it. "Put. Her. Down." Kirito said sternly, "Or what brat! Are you gonna try and talk me out of it? Well guess what that ain't gonna hap-" the whole area went silent as there was now a sword plunged into the mans face holding Eydis. The man fell down and turned into particles. Kirito stood there, anger still present in his facial features, and stared down the remaining Laughing Coffin members. During this time the rest of the Black Swordsmen surrounded the remaining members. "Now go to prison or DIE!" Kirito yelled. The rest of them were then sent away and silence returned to the field.
