Akiri opens his eyes to the familiar sight of the gaming room's ceiling.
With an exhausted sigh, Akiri places his NerveGear on the nightstand beside the bed. He then got into his wheelchair and just as he was about to leave the room, the door suddenly opens and Alexander walks in.
Alexander: Ah, you're finished already?
Akiri: Yeah. We just got Asuna out
Alexander: How did it go?
Akiri: It got more... Complicated than expected. I'll tell you the details later, but for now, we need to head out
Alexander: The hospital, sir?
Akiri: Yeah. Let's go
Alexander just nodded and the two of them went to the garage.
(Timeskip)
After getting through the security gate, Alexander parked the car at the parking lot and helped Akiri get on his wheelchair.
Akiri: Al, you wait here. I got a feeling something bad will happen, so be ready to call the police
Alexander just nodded and went back inside the car and Akiri went over to the main entrance of the hospital.
As he was halfway to the entrance, a voice suddenly called out to him.
???: You're late, Akiri
He then saw a figure standing in the shadows and it was revealed to be Sugou who came from the back of one of the parked vehicles.
His eyes were red and he was having trouble walking steadily, probably because of the extreme pain that he felt.
Sugou: You've kept me-
As soon as he saw Akiri, he started to burst out laughing.
Akiri: What's so funny?
Sugou: The strongest swordsman in SAO, is a cripple!
He kept on laughing as Akiri just rolled his eyes.
Sugou: That was a horrible thing you did, Akiri. I could still feel every last cut
Akiri: Good. I was worried you might pass out from the pain. Now, why don't you give yourself up, Sugou? You've already lost
Sugou: Lost? What do you mean? There are countless corporations that would want me. Yes, once my research is complete, I can become a true king... The god of this world
Akiri: You're insane...
Sugou then pulled out a knife from his jacket.
Sugou: But before that, I'm going to kill you, Akiri... And once I'm done with you, I'll kill Kirito as well!
He shouted before taking a step towards Akiri.
Akiri: I'm warning you. You better stand down before I lose my patience
