What if Eugeo survived and went to the Real World with Alice? When he discovers Kazuto wasn't awake, he wants to learn how to wake him up, with Alice's help.
Can Eugeo do the impossible, to wake his best friend up and what will happen when he does?
It was dark at first, I couldn't see a thing. The only thing I could think was Alice. My best friend that I was with for so long, since her memories were taken by the cathedral.
I sighed, but then, I heard a voice. A voice that I was familiar with, as I opened my eyes to be in pure shock.
In front of me, was her. The blond hair girl who is now wearing not Integrity Knight clothing, as she once used, but casual clothing.
"Oh, Eugeo! You're finally up! About time." Alice said, looking directly at me. I groaned, as if my head was spinning.
"Ooh. My head." I groan, as Alice said, reassuring me, "I felt the same thing when I awoken up. There is someone I want you to meet."
I was confused by her words, as that I didn't know what to expect of what's to come. There was a group of people I didn't recognize as that I hid behind her.
"It's all right, Eugeo. You don't have to be afraid of them. These are the people who are the creators of our home. "
I blink in surprise, of hearing that I wasn't a real person. "Then ... you and I... "
The man in glasses step forward, "My name is Mr. Kikuoka. I'm the head of Ocean Turtle, and these are my assistants, Mr. Higa Takeru and Ms. Rinko Koujiro. You and Alice used to be "Fluctlights."
It's the human souls that used to live in the Underworld. Higa manage to get both of you here out of that system..."
"Wait! If we're both fluctlights, what happens to Kirito?" I asked desperately.
The group remains uneasy of hearing his name mentioned in the room.
"What's wrong?" I asked, looking at them.
Alice touches my hand, "I think it's best that he should see this for himself, Mr. Kikouka. I think it's the best scenario. "
He nods, "That's a pretty solid conclusion, Alice. Very well. "
Alice led me to a window seen through room, as that I was stunned of what I have seen.
In a bed lay an unconious black boy and that he was wearing a breathing mask.

"No... No it can't be. Is that..." I stuttered in shock, as Alice nod of that what am seeing is real. "Yes. It's him, Our Kirito. Or by his real name. Kazuto Kirigaya."
I fell to my knees. "Why?!? Why does this have to happen to him, it's not fair!"
"I know it's not what you expected, by seeing the real thing, but Kazuto is in a critical condition right now.
He was able to log Alice out of the system and Higa got you here, but he's stuck in the Underworld for 200 years." Rinko explains to me.
"Then how? How we are going to get him out, safely out of danger?" I asked her.
Alice said, "Eugeo... let's be patient. They just found out that Kazuto is stuck in the Underworld, so we might find a way to get him out."
I still can't get over the fact that he was in this state, and thus, I get the same feeling I've had when Alice was taken away from the Ruild Village.
I wasn't able to protect her, and just stood there, frozen in place. Now, I got the same nostalgic feeling of regret , regret that I wasn't there to protect both of my best friends.
"I'm not leaving this place until he wakes up. I'm going to be by his side this time. I'm not running away again."
Alice chuckled at my determination, "That is so like you, Eugeo. You never did change."
I smiled that she was here, explaining the condition of our best friend.
It's up to us to rescue him this time, just like he has saved us. Wait for us, Kirito.
AN:
In this story, Alice did log out of Underworld, just like the anime, but Eugeo was also was saved.
This is a what if story if Eugeo is in the real world, with Alice and the determination of saving Kirito from being stuck for 200 years in the Underworld.
