Rinko Koujiro sat in the control seat at the console of Subcon, staring at the glass hatch placed to the left of the board. The LCD screen at the top of the hatch flashed a message in red letters: Ejecting...

There was the deep sound of pressurized air leaking. Eventually, for a second time, a small black quadrilateral shape appeared beyond the glass window. The LCD screen changed to Complete for a second time.

Rinko reached out once again with a trembling hand to open the little hatch and take out its contents.

It was another hard metal package, a cube a little over two inches to a side, and surprisingly heavy. A six-digit number was carved on its sheer face, and there was a very small connector port on it. The first one was exactly the same with a different set of six-digit numbers on its sheer face.

Trapped in this second and third one was the second ALICE fluctlight that appeared long ago and was just discovered a little ago, Eugeo's and Edith's souls.

Following the commands of the system, the LightCube Cluster installed in the center of the Ocean Turtle's Main Shaft ejected a specific cube, sealing it into a protective package and then shooting them through a pneumatic, which was done twice.

At the same time, it was a journey from the Interior Underworld to the exterior real world.

Rinko was speechless for a few moments, struck with an indescribable sensation, but recovered when the second cube appeared and carefully with both hands placed it into a briefcase with another cube to the right of it.

She turned to the mic and shouted.

Ringo: Asuna, Sachi, Alice, Edith, Kirito and Eugeo have been ejected! All of are that it's left! Make it quick!!

She glanced at the crimson countdown on the monitor and added.

Ringo: You've only got thirty seconds until the maximum acceleration starts! Log out now!

There was a moment of silence.

Kazuto: I'm going back in.

Sachi: yeah we're going back in.

Rinko: but you'll there for a while and unable to log out!!

Asuna: Yami has been there with us since SAO and now it's our turn..

????: I know that but if I do that then Yami's fluctlight will be gone forever by the time we're able to enter the Underworld again.

A voice filled with emotion came from the speakers and said:

????: I can't lose him again so I have faith in Kitsune to protect the last bit of Yami in the real world while we come back no matter what.

Yami's fluctlight is inside of his body.

That's what Rinko wanted to interject with but Asuna's voice came through the speakers once again, calm and gentle and full of purpose.

Asuna: We're sorry. Please Take care of Alice, Edith and Eugeo. They're each sweet people. The two hold great love within him, and they are loved by many. For the sake of the souls who vanished for their sake... and for my boyfriend's and Kirito's sake, please don't let them turn them into a weapon. We're already dealt with problems please no more wars.

Rinko's voice was stuck in her throat as she grabbed the mic to croak out something else but then...

Kazuto: And tell everyone else, too, that... We're sorry... and thank you... and Goodbye...

The countdown hit zero.
