RWBY/Sword Art Online (Discontinued)

Chapter 5: The Moonlit Black Cats

Nearly a year has passed since SAO first started, and back in the real world, Team RWBY and the two members of Team JADE visit Jaden and Penny in the hospital in Japan.

Ruby: Hey Jaden, hey Penny. I know you guys can't hear me, but I really miss you guys. It's nearly Christmas time and I hope that I get to see you again someday. Sooner or later I'll find a way to get you back. Me, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Jack and Evelyn will get you and Penny back. Just hang in there guys.

Then some tears come out of Ruby's eyes.

Yang: Don't worry Ruby. I'm sure Jaden and Penny are doing just fine in there.

Ruby: You're right.

Weiss: I actually think there will be a way to help them out. If we can get our hands on some unused nervegears somehow, we should be able to log into SAO and help Jaden and Penny.

Blake: Yeah. But how will we be able to find some?

Ruby: Weiss and I will find a way. Don't worry. It's just gonna take some time. That's all.

Evelyn: Thanks Ruby and Weiss.

Jack: We're counting on you two.

Ruby: You got it.

Back in SAO...

Keita: Here's to us, the Moonlit Black Cats.

Everyone: Cheers!

Ducker: And here's to Kirito, our hero! Cheers!

Everyone: Cheers!

Kirito: Uh. Cheers.

Keita: You really saved us man. Thanks a lot.

Kirito: Uh, it's not a big deal.

Sachi: I was really scared, but then I was so relieved when you came and saved me. Thank you so much.

Keita: So Kirito, I know this is prying, but could you tell us what level you're at?

Kirito: Around level 20.

It turns out that he lied and his level is actually 40.

Keita: That's really close to ours. I'm surprised you survived so much on your own.

Kirito: Look, it's not such a big deal, I mean solo players like me just target lone mobs, so it's really inefficient.

Keita: Oh, I think I get it. Well anyway, I know this isn't a good time to ask but, could you join us?

Kirito: Huh?

Keita: Tetsuo's the only vanguard here since he uses a mace. And this girl here is Sachi. I plan on having her use a sword and shield so she can also be a vanguard, but she doesn't really know what to do. You want to train her for a bit?

Sachi: Could you please stop Keita? It's natural to be scared when you're suddenly thrown into a close combat role.

Keita: Don't worry, just hide behind your shield. Jeez, you're always a scaredy-cat aren't you?

Sachi: Hmph!

Everyone else laughs a bit.

Keita: So everyone here is a member of our schools research club. But don't worry about that. Trust me, you'll fit right in. Right guys?

Everyone begins to smile, including Sachi. Kirito then feels a little conscious about this request.

Kirito: Well then, I guess I can join your guild. Thanks guys.

Everyone begins to cheer now that he's part of the Moonlit Black Cats guild. And a month later they go out monster hunting. They fight against a giant cockroach monster and Sachi starts hesitating when up front with her shield, and she steps back.
