Year 2024, November 1st. Aincrad Standard Time, 19:00.. Floor 1, Orphanage Church..

After stocking up their supplies in Floor 50's marketplace, they return back to Floor 11 for the preparation.

*Door knocks*

Sanya: They're back.

Sasha: Yeah...

Oathkeeper opens the door, seeing Kirito, Asuna and Sanya who are already prepared for the raid.

Asuna: You're back! Should we start, Oathkeeper?

Oathkeeper: I'm not the commander..

Koharu: Oh yeah, I forgot! The Solo Team should be on the move first before everyone. We need a good timing on when to strike.

Kirito: You can count on us! Sanya, Oathkeeper and me should be the one heading there first. We'll update you every of the guard's move.

Koharu: Great! Asuna and I will return back to Floor 11 to get the squads going. We'll arrive with you guys in 30 minutes. And Oathkeeper...

Oathkeeper: ?

Koharu: You know... Since we're married and our storage is shared, you can use any of my tools if you need.

He checks his storage again, confirmed that she has stored over thousands of knives and other throwable weapons, hundreds of Titan's Shurikens and several rolls of invisible strings and tripwire for traps.

Oathkeeper: You sure carry these a lot..

Koharu: It's a good thing that the weight system doesn't apply on the storage. It should be enough. I chose these because we don't know what they'll pull out from their disposal. Might be something with huge firepower or something..

Oathkeeper: Yeah..

He closes the storage..

Oathkeeper: We almost forgot Thinker and Yulier. They're on their move right now.

Koharu: Let's hope they are doing okay so far. I'm so worried about them..

Kirito: Let's act fast. Teleport: Floating Palace!

Oathkeeper and Sanya follow Kirito's lead and teleports to ALS's secret base. Leaving Koharu, Asuna and Sasha in the church.

Koharu: They're heading there now...

Somehow, her worries only gets worse after seeing them off. Asuna notices her worries.

Asuna: What's wrong?

Koharu: No.. I got a bad feeling about this..

Asuna: Because of Thinker and Yulier?

Koharu: No.. As soon as the raid starts, Oathkeeper will unleash his wrath to its fullest. I just can't bear the image of him standing surrounded by corpses. And I afraid that all of you will be scared by him as a monster or even a demon.

Asuna: But everyone has known him as the Savior. No one will recognize him as a demon. Maybe you're just overthinking.

Koharu: Yeah... I should stop worrying on some things that won't even happen. Anyway, let's go back to the HQ.

Asuna: What about the kids?

Koharu: Sasha will take care of them, right? Are they ready?

Sasha: Yeah. Mina, Gin and Kain are geared up.

Kain: We're here!

Mina: Me too!

Gin: Hey! Wait for me!
