Several days have passed since the first skirmish with the infected, numerous factions and coalitions travelled towards Y/N's location to help, helping thousands of players escaping from Deadlands.

They fear that the hordes will follow them, their worries were right, The Black Horde is coming...
_______________________________________

Y/N, Sinon, and other troops from other factions discuss the situation about the refugees and the infected.

Colonel Riker - The Enturions
"We're risking the safety of the Avalon, War and Valor, and Pantheon Online if we continue this, there's too many players we're letting in!".

Colonel Ardin - Soviet Faction
"He's right, we may be spreading the infection far and wide, we must limit how many people can get in, the risk of one of them being a host is too high".

"We need to save them, the total players in Deadlands is 8 Million, we haven't even broke two hundred thousand!".

Colonel Riker
"We're already pushing the limit..".

A soldier runs into the room, and informs the entire group that they need to cease all extractions from Deadlands right now... They have attracted something.... Malevolent. An argument erupts in the room about the fate of the remaining players of Deadlands.

Either they cease all operations and block the portals, ensuring that nothing will escape... Including players.

Or continue the operation, but they'll risk the safety of everyone, and bringing the Black Horde to their doorstep.

Sinon
"How many infected are coming?".

Operator Joker
"From what scouts seen, it's in millions, there's is no way we can stop it with our current strength... They will break through us".

Colonel Riker
"Millions!?".

"How much time do we have until they come?".

Operator Joker
"Our best estimates, we got till 10:00 in at night .... What's your orders Colonel Riker?".

"Riker, we have to save what's left of the remaining people within our range, this maybe their last chance to live!".

Colonel Ardin
"We must close that portal Y/N, we can't fight it!".

Sinon
"He's right, there's no way we can save everyone, we have to close the portal".

"What happened to saving peoples lives, we are are there last hope in that hell of a game!".

Colonel Ardin
"We are closing that portal, the lives of millions of players are on the line. Do you want that on your conscious, being the one to literally doom everyone!?".

Colonel Riker
"Ardin... Most of my men have family in that game, brothers, sisters, hell even one of my men is damn parent and their son is in that game. They aren't going to leave until they save their family, I'm a man of my word, I'm staying with him and my soldiers".

Colonel Ardin
"It's pure suicide to stay, you can't even be considering to stay!?".

Sinon
"What about Lisbeth, Kirito, Silica, Asuna and the rest of Arcadia... You can't stay, even if you are superhuman, you will die. What about Lisbeth, you just kissed and finally got together, she'll die from heartbreak if something happens to you!".

"I'm staying, and I'm going help as many people as I can".

Sinon
"Your not staying, for you and for Lisbeth's sake!".

Riker
"Listen, we may have a fighting chance... Ardin, it's time to call in Magnus...".

Sinon/Operator Joker/Ardin
"Magnus!!".

"What's Magnus?".

Operator Joker
"A ballistic missle with the strength of a nuclear bomb! Riker, are you serious!?".

Riker
"It may be only fighting chance, reinforcements will be here within days, and the bomb is ready at anytime".

Colonel Ardin
"If that lands, it will kill all of us if we are in range!".

Operator Joker
"Even if you are going to fire it, your going to have someone or something to keep them distracted, pack leaders can sense bio-signatures, or body heat left off by unaffected players".

Operator Joker
"Also... Have you realize that bomb has to get through the portal to actually affect them!? You'll be forced to launch it on ourselves!".

"I have an idea then, evacuate everyone from the area, I'll stay to keep distracted long enough until you launched the bomb, I'll use my teleport crystal to escape. Thank God teleport crystals are universal".

Colonel Ardin
"Y/N, don't tell me your actually going to do this!? Teleport crystals have the tendency to not work!".

"I'll risk it, for Riker and his men".

Colonel Riker
"Y/N, I thank you for what your doing, you don't know how much this means to my men, we owe you big time".

Sinon
"This may be the biggest insane thing you've done... ".

"Yeah... I wonder how I'm going to top this off".

Sinon
"I wonder your going to explain this to your girlfriend... Better yet.. she's right behind you".

Y/N turns around to see Lisbeth furious.

"Hey... I.... I'm doing something".

Lisbeth
"Room... Now!".

For the past hour, Sinon and the rest hear a battle in Lisbeth's room, for Lisbeth is yelling at Y/N for making a stupid decision already, she gave him hell. After an intense argument, she calmed down and began to sob about Y/N going through with it.

"I'll be fine, but you need to get out of here with everyone else alright... Don't worry, your not going to lose me".

Lisbeth
"Please becareful, I just got you, and I don't want to lose you".

"I'll be okay".

Lisbeth
"If you get back alive, you owe me big-time for this!".

"Fine, whatever you want".

Colonel Riker
"Hey Y/N, you done fighting the beast? We need for further debriefing!".

Lisbeth
"What did you call me punk?".

"That's my girl... I'm coming Riker!".
