RWBY/Sword Art Online (Discontinued)

Chapter 16: The Black Iron Palace

Kirito, Asuna, Yui, Sasha, and David's friends head to an orphanage where the children eat breakfast.

Kirito: This is... amazing.

Sasha: It's like this pretty much all the time. Is Yui alright?

Kirito: We made sure that she got a good sleep.

Sasha: Has this happened before?

Asuna: We don't know.

David: You guys said you found her on Floor 22, right?

Asuna: Yeah. But it seems as though she's lost her memories. All she remembers is her name.

Evelyn: You think she has amnesia?

Asuna: I guess so. That's why we came here.

Yui: Here you go Mommy.

She gives her a bun.

Asuna: Aww, thanks Yui.

She strokes her head.

Ruby: M-Mommy?!

Yang: Oh brother.

David: Are you both adopting her?!

Asuna: Umm. It's complicated. Anyway, we figured that someone around here might know who she is.

Kirito: Do you know anyone Sasha?

Sasha: Unfortunately. I don't she ever lived here. When the game started, most of the children were scared and traumatized. I couldn't leave them to fend for themselves, so I brought them here in this church. Everyday, I walk around town looking for children who need help, but I've never seen anyone like Yui.

Asuna: I see.

They hear the door knock and go to answer it.

Yulier: Pleased to meet you. I'm Yulier from the Liberation Army.

Weiss: Oh. You here to cause more trouble?

Yulier: No. I wanted to thank you for yesterday. I also wish for your assistance.

Asuna: Assistance?

Penny: I'm confused right now.

They head inside in a private room.

Yulier: Originally, our guild leader, Thinker, never intended to make the oppressive organization that we are today. He wanted to give information and food to those who needed it.

Kirito: But the army grew way to large.

Yulier: That's right. In the midst of internal struggles, a man called Kibaou rose to power.

David: Kibaou? That name sounds familiar. Oh yeah! He's the guy we saw during the boss meeting on this floor a month after the game started and was also growing so much hate on the beta testers like Kirito. Not to mention he's a beater.

Kirito: Uh. Yeah.

Yulier: Well, his faction grew in power, monopolized efficient hunting grounds, and went as far as to extort people with tax collection.

Jack: And of course. I'm not surprised.

Yui starts drinking her milk.

Yulier: However, an increasing number of players disapproved of Kibaou's neglect to clearing the game, which led him to dispatch his highest-level players to the front-lines.

They think about what happened to Corvatz when fighting the Gleam Eyes.

Yulier: The terrible outcome caused Kibaou to be heavily reprimanded. It also reached the point where we were able to exile him from the guild, but with desperation, Kibaou lured Thinker into a trap. He was deserted, deep inside a dungeon.
