Sword Art Online: The Duo Factors

Chapter 43: Counter attack.

Somewhere in her dream.

Koharu's POV

I feel my head is now resting somewhere with the familiar warmth that I can recognize it. As I open my eyes, the first thing I can see is that Tokyo city has now fallen into everlasting flames with people fighting against the government. It is an all-out war between the people and the military just because of the full-dive tech. I watched it happen before, at the mall. But the only thing my mind would only care about is the familiar warmth, ignoring the chaos that happens in front of me. But this dream I had, only lasted for such a short time.

!!!

Japan Standard Time, 8:00pm.. Northeast of Tokyo, Katsushika City. Somewhere at the back alley between buildings.

*Boom!*

During the early night in Tokyo, the sound of far away explosions and the outrage of the people can be heard throughout the City, enough to wake Koharu up from her short dream, sleeping on Lai's lap. She found herself and her partner is now waiting in a car that Lai has stolen from the burglary.

Koharu: Is this..?

He notices Koharu has woken up.

Lai: You're awake.

Koharu: Where are we now?

Lai: Katsushika City, North East of Tokyo.. But we're still far from our target.. Those idiots protestors set up roadblocks everywhere with bricks they pry off from the pedestrian pavement. Look at the front.

Koharu: Huh?

She notices a large group of protestors parade throughout the City. Like a group of cannibal corpses roaming in the street that will attack anyone they see. They both watch in a car with their lights off to conceal themselves in the dark.

Koharu: My god..

Lai: Now we're just waiting until the attacking group parade walks away. All of our weapons are on the backseat. Check your ammo and weapons for now.

She looks behind, noticing a bunch of firearms lying around in a mess due to all the bumping from unbalanced roads and avoiding road obstacles. She grabs her XM8 Rifle and wears the sling around her to carry the rifle without actually holding it. She chugs a Standard 30 rounds mag in it, grabbing from their shared ammo supply rucksack and notices all of their weapons are silenced.

Koharu: Silencers?

Lai: Aki told us there are snipers on the rooftop guarding one of their "facilities" disguised as nightclubs. And we're hitting them tonight, very hard.

Koharu: What's the plan?

Lai: We're taking down the snipers first and quick. Then, we will use the RC Plane to blow up the Nightclub. Causing a distraction and then we strike straight front. Kiss our "pacifist" self goodbye and kill everyone we can.

Koharu: Sounds bold.. But I can't think of any better than this.

Lai: *sigh*

Koharu: So how are we gonna escape after the attack?

Lai: He will stay here for a while. After we switch our weapons, Aki will drive the car to the escape point and get us out. I trust his driving skill.
