RWBY/Sword Art Online (Discontinued)

Chapter 72: LLENN, Fukaziroh, and Pitohui

The next day, at the Yokohama North General Hospital, Asuna was placed in a Medicuboid and the doctors analyze what happened to Asuna.

Jaden: Asuna lost her memories of SAO?

Weiss: But how? You don't think it was the Augma, do you?

Kazuto: I have a feeling it was.

After analyzing what happened, the doctor explains what happened.

Doctor: I will need to go through the data so that I can know the details, but it seems that Asuna's brain shows signs of having its memory scanned in certain parts.

Kazuto: Memory scanned? Could it have only read her memories of SAO? But how?

Doctor: It's possible that she could be reliving her memories from SAO, and the single neurons as the key to those memories were noticed, and so the images could have been forcibly scanned with focused electromagnetic pulses. There were multiple similar multiple reports in the past few days.

Weiss: There's no doubt about it. It has to have been the Augma that's doing this.

Jaden: Are you sure about this?

Doctor: It's not confirmed yet.

Kazuto: Will she be alright?

Doctor: There's no sign of organic anomalies in the brain at this time. Most likely, her ability to recall those memories were impaired when the electromagnetic pulses degenerated her spine. So I can't really tell without further observation if the symptoms will worsen.

Weiss: Do you mean that she might lose even more memory than the already has?

Kazuto and Asuna's eyes widen. A while later, they head back down to the main lobby to meet with Yuuki and Yui.

Yuuki: Are you alright, Asuna?

Asuna: I'm fine. I'm really sorry everyone.

Jaden: Hey, it's fine. It's probably not gonna last very long.

Kazuto: Yeah. It will come back to you soon.

Asuna starts raising her hand forward. She then shakes a little bit, and she collapses on the floor.

Jaden, Weiss, Kazuto and Yuuki: ASUNA!

Yui: Mommy!

Later on, Kazuto, Asuna, and Yui log into ALO, and they show her around the first floor of Aincrad, and they head back up to Floor 22. They eat some lunch together.

Kirito: Well?

Asuna: I'm sorry, I can't remember. But I do remember buying this house in ALO. That's all I know.

Asuna starts getting a headache.

Yui: Mommy?

Asuna starts hugging her daughter.

Asuna: I'm sorry Yui. These are precious memories, I know.

Yui: I'm scared.

Asuna: It's ok. Mommy will be fine, right Kirito?

Kirito: Yeah. I'm sure Ruby and Weiss will find out something about OS that will help you get your memories back.

Asuna: Yeah. Even though I can't remember, it's true that we all live her together.

Kirito: Yes, it is.

At sunset...

Kirito: You want me to make some tea?

Asuna: No thanks. I'll do it.

Asuna grabs the plate and she heads back inside. Kirito and Yui wait for a little while. When, Kirito stands up, he hears the sound of glass breaking, and he slightly opens the door and see's Asuna breaking down and crying.
