Ave runs through the forest and through branches and jumps rocks she then starts hearing metal bend. She stops and looks up to the the tower almost about to collapse.
"That is not a good sign."
Ave then starts running even faster than she was before. She speeds up and then bumps into other players as well.
"Ave what are you doing wheres Haru?"
A tiger male player asks.
"Haru is trying to fix the problem he'll be back shortly. Meanwhile I need to see if I can do anything here we need to find the people who are doing this!" Ave says as the Tiger male player nods and the others follow.
They all run behind Ave and making their way up hills and through plants and shrubs they then start jumping across a swamp on rocks to avoid having to deal with the alligators. Once their on the other side they start running up the hill that the tower is built on.
Then they hear another metal part bend and ropes and nails coming loose.
"We need to hurry or we'll never make it!"
All the players then transform into their animals.
"Ave hop on!"
The tiger player says.
"Haru is sooo gonna get jealous when he hears about this!" Ave hops on the tiger and all the players start running towards the tower.
"Look! The tower is holding on still!"
A male zebra shouts.
Ave and the tiger look up.
The players all stop.
"How is that possible? The ropes are cut and the metal is bent."
Ave says.
"Do you think Haru fixed it?"
A female Tigress asks.
"Its possible."
Ave says.
The players then hear a login chime as they look its Haru.
"Haru!" Ave gets off the tiger's back and runs towards Haru jumping into his embrace.
"Hey! Didn't know I was missed this much I would've came sooner." Haru chuckles as he pats Ave's head.
"Did you manage to fix it?"
Ave asks Haru pauses.
Ave looks up at him.
"There appears to be a hacker in the system he is spreading viruses throughout the system. My team is doing what they can to prevent that from happening. But, just so that all the players are informed. You have all been transferred into hospitals."
Cheetah-What?!
Eagle-What do you mean transferred?!
Bird-What the hell?!
Tiger-Haru what are you talking about?!
Tigress-Don't tell me this is happening!
Zebra-IS THIS A FREAKING EPISODE ON SAO?!
All the players look at zebra.
"What! It could be! We have the same headsets!"
Zebra says as they all turn back to Haru.
"We all need to remain calm.The worst thing we could do now is to argue and fight over this. We all need to stick together. We have all been transferred to Separate Private Hospital where their keeping an eye on each and everyone of our VR Headsets. Their making sure none of us suffer anything major if we take off our head sets."
All the players talk amongst themselves.
Haru looks to the side clenching his fists.
"This shouldn't be happening..."
"Haru don't do this to yourself. Your aren't guilty of anything. Your not at fault."
"I'm the CEO and Creator of this game. How in the hell could I have not seen this coming?"
Haru places has s hands on his face frustrated.
Ave puts a hand on his should turning Haru to face her. She then grabs both Haru's hands and holds them.
"None of us saw this coming Haru. But we can at least try to get through this together."
Ave says smiling.
Haru smiles softly.
"What would I do without you?"
Haru says caressing Ave's cheek.
"Hmm.. oh I don't know maybe turn out to be the cowardly lion from the Wizard of Oz?"
Ave says giggling.
Ave places her hand on Haru's hand.
"Oh you think your macho lion king is cowardly?"
Haru says with a smirk.
"Hmm if I wasn't around I think you'd be!"
Ave says backing away slowly.
"Come here you!"
Haru says grabbing Ave from behind and pinning her to a tree.
"Think I'm so cowardly now?"
Haru asks teasingly.
"Haru look!"
Ave says as she points from behind Haru he turns.
The sound of the tower bending makes all the players look towards the tower.
The rope starts to tear and the tower comes falling down.
"EVERYBODY RUN!"
Haru yells as he grabs ave and puts her on his back as him and the players start running away from the collapsing tower.
"Haru look! Theres kiroa mountain!"
Ave says pointing to the mountain.
"EVERYBODY HEAD FOR KIROA MOUNTAIN!"
Haru yells as everyone follows him towards the mountain.
They all arrive at the mountain and rest at the edge.
(Imagine the man isn't there just for visual reference)
The players look off into the distance as the tower collapses.
"Haru now what! The tower is gone! Now what are we suppose to do!"
Zebra exclaims.
Haru looks at the collapsed toward.
"Haruko."
Haru looks at the Tiger.
"What do we do now?"
Haru then looks back at the collapsed tower.
Haru sighs.
Ave puts her hand on Haru's shoulder.
Haru looks at her and they both smile.
Haru then transforms into his man lion transformation.
He then jumps on a high rock.
"Alright now! listen up!
I know the tower has collapsed but that doesn't mean we're going to be here forever! We have to stick together I want everyone to grab a partner or at least get in a group that way no one if left out. We need to form a pack.I'm going to contact my team and see what happened in the time being I want everyone to maintain their cool and stay up here until I get back. I'll inform all of you about the situation. Alright?"
All the players nod.
"Ave."
Ave looks at Haru.
"Yeah?"
"Follow me."
Ave follow Haru to the top of the mountain where theres is a rounded edge where there is a rounded edge where the both sit together at. Haru transforms back to himself.
He then sighs looking down at the ground then pressing a button pulling up the chat box.
"How long do you think it'll take?"
"About a few 20 to 30 minutes last time I checked."
Haru sighs then starts to type.
"Haru, talk to me. What happened when you logged out?"
Haru presses the send button and the message is sent.
Haru turns to Ave and grabs hold of her hands. He looks down at them.
"Can I...Lay in your lap?"
Haru asks.
Ave smiles.
"Of course."
Haru lays down and lays his head on Ave's lap.
"Tell me what happened"
