RWBY/Sword Art Online (Discontinued)

Chapter 19: The Death Game Continues

Kirito and Asuna rest on their porch in their cabin on Floor 22 of Aincrad. He reads a book and his wife leans on him. Kirito looks to his beautiful wife as she sleeps next to him. He then looks up to the sky, and the clouds cover the sun. An apple rolls off the table inside the house and suddenly, everything turns red and Asuna is disappears and Kirito is in his armor. The clouds move really fast and the cabin starts to disappear.

Kirito: Asuna?! Asuna!

He breathes heavily. Suddenly he wakes up from his nightmare in his room back in the real world.

Kazuto: It was all a dream.

He looks to his nervegear for a moment, then he gets out of bed and walks to his mirror clock. He starts to cry.

Kazuto: Oh Asuna, I've become a really big crybaby.

It is now January 2025. It has been 2 months since SAO was cleared. The two heroes, Kirito and David defeated Heathcliff, letting all players log out. So many players went through rehabilitation so they could get back to their normal lives. People are still trying to get used to living in the real world again. However, 300 players, including Asuna still haven't woken up. It is of course a strange case. People are trying to find out why this is, including the people from the government, but there is so far no clue. Kazuto Kirigaya spoke with a government official from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Communications Task Force of the SAO incident in exchange for Asuna's location. She rests in the Tokorozawashi General Hospital in Saitama Prefecture. To the public's outrage, the conspiracy that Akihiko Kayaba started before disappearing still hasn't ended. And so, the SAO incident hasn't ended yet. Meanwhile, in Vale Jaden and Ruby went on their official date.

Jaden: Man. I can't believe nothing hasn't changed a bit.

Ruby: I know. I'm surprised he hasn't done anything the past two years. Oh yeah. I remember after our adventure before SAO, Weiss, Blake, Yang, Evelyn and Penny said that they want to go out with you.

Jaden: Oh yeah.

Ruby: Who knows?

Jaden: Guess so. Man, I can't believe it's been two months since SAO was cleared.

Ruby: Yeah, and 300 players still haven't logged out, including Asuna. I wonder why that is.

Jaden: I have a hunch something's gotta be wrong. Kirito is still visiting her at a hospital. I mean Kazuto.

Ruby: We keep waiting for her to wake up. But still no luck.

Jaden: Hmm. You wanna visit Kazuto in Japan?

Ruby: Yeah. He sent me his address not too long ago. Let's take a Bullhead there.

Jaden and Ruby both hop into the Bullhead.

Pilot: Where to kids?

Ruby: Tokyo Japan!

Jaden: Let's go!

The pilot starts the Bullhead's engine and they fly off into the sky. Meanwhile at Kazuto's home, his sister Suguha, wearing kendo equipment, looks down into the pond.

Suguha: We really don't look alike, do we?

She stands up and takes a swing with her kendo sword. She gets a flashback of when the game started.

Suguha: Kazuto! I'm off to practice!

There is no response. She runs out of the house and off to practice She looks up to her brothers room as she leaves and doesn't see him. She figures that he's playing SAO. For every swing with her sword in the present, she gets a flashback of when Kazuto was trapped in SAO. She gets a flashback of when she saw him asleep in the hospital bed, wearing a nervegear and she cried at that time. As she swung her sword again, she gets the memory of when her brother woke up two months ago. Both her and her mother, Midori were very happy to see him, just as Kazuto was happy to see them. She stops swinging her kendo sword as the flashbacks finish. He looks and see's her brother.
