A couple of days later.
On Saturday Shino and Seth went on their date and it went very smoothly. They watched an action movie, much to Seth's surprise. He expected some sort of chick flick. After the movie, Seth took Shino to a restaurant. After their date, the two of them when back to their home. As Seth was getting ready for tomorrow he began to feel his body become incredibly warm.
"My body…" Seth felt like he was burning up. His knees fell to the floor and laid there for a minute. Once the burning feeling was over he had to figure out what happened to him.
"Blaze, Flame what happened? My voice?!" Seth asked. As he spoke he could tell that his voice was a lot deeper.
"Seth, find a mirror." Blaze said.
Seth wasted no time in heading to the bathroom. As he was walking to the bathroom, he swore things around him seemed smaller. Seth turned on the lights in the bathroom and when he saw his reflection in the mirror, he was shocked. He saw a man wearing a suit of black segmented armor all around his body with a white marker symbol on his chest. His hair was Crimson red with golden highlights and dark green eyes with a power symbol in them replaced his usual orange eyes.
"I'm a CPU?!" Seth said as he took a little while to admire his new transformation. Seth normally stood at 6'1", but now red soul was standing at about 6'8". He could feel an insane amount of power in his body. Blaze and Flame suggested that he test out his new powers.
Red Soul went to the roof of his apartment and activated his wings. (The wings look like god Gundam's wings) The wings locked into place and some sort of red energy formed in the space between the wings. Red soul was lifted off the ground and took flight for the first time. It felt surreal to him. Normally he would fly with one of his machine, but now he was flying unassisted. Red Soul decided to find out what his weapon was. A railgun appeared in Red Soul hands. Seth learned he could also use [Kurikara] in this form.
Seth continued to experiment with his new found powers, but he started to remembered what Histoire told him about CPUs. They don't age after a certain point and that they can't die of old age. As Seth was trying to remembered what else Histoire said, the glowing white marker symbol on Red Soul chest began to pulsate. Seth's Red Soul transformation undid itself and he fell on a nearby roof. Before could think of anything, he blacked out.
Several Hours Later.
Seth woke up very cold with a small blanket of snow covering him. His head was aching.
"What happened?" Seth would later learn that his transformation has a time limit, and the other powers Red Soul has.
A Couple of Days Later. With Asuna.
Asuna was currently awaiting for Zekken to appear. This Zekken had placed a thread asking for people to challenge this player to a fight and if they won they would be rewarded with an eleven point original sword skill. Which was the highest original sword skill at the moment.
Asuna decided to give it a shot after hearing that Kirito, Leafa, and Seth had given it a shot and lost. She wasn't expecting Zekken to be a girl.
"Hey Liz…" Asuna said.
"Yeah?"
"Zekken is a girl!?"
"Huh? Didn't I tell you?"
"You didn't. Wait…is the reason you lost…" Asuna gave Kirito a glare.
"No…I didn't go easy on her because she's a girl. I'm serious. Really. At least halfway." Kirito said. Asuna was about to say something, but before she could, Zekken spoke.
"Anyone want to go next?" The purple hair girl said. Liz pushed Asuna into the center. Right in front of Zekken.
"Miss, you wanna fight?"
"Um…Okay, sure."
"Okay!" Zekken said in a very cheerful voice. The two of them set the rules for the duel and the countdown started. Asuna saw that Zekken's in game name was Yuki. The same as her last name. The battle was quick and fierce, but in the end Yuki over powered the heal berserker.
"Miss could you please follow lease from follow me." Yuki said to Asuna. Yuki led Asuna to an isolated area where she asked her an important question.
"Please… help us."Yuki said.
"Huh?"
A few minutes later.
Yuuki had taken Asuna to a nearby inn, where there was a group of people Yuuki wanted Asuna to meet.
"Asuna, I'll introduce you to my guild! The Sleeping Knights!" Yuuki said cheerfully. A young salamander boy was the first the answer.
"I'm Jun! Nice to meet you Asuna!" Jun said cheerfully. The second person to speak was a leprechaun class player.
"I'm, uh… My name is Talken. Nice to meet- Ow." Talken was suddenly hit by the spriggan member of the guild.
"Stop being so nervous all the time, Tal. This happens whenever you talk to a girl." The girl said. She turned to Asuna and introduced herself. "I'm Nori, glad to meet you Asuna." After Nori introduced herself, the female Undine and male Gnome introduced themselves.
"Nice to meet you. I'm Siune. Thanks for coming." Siune said.
"My name is Tecchi. Nice to meet you." The gnome said.
"And I'm Yuuki, the guild leader! Asuna listen…we want to defeat this floor's boss monster. With just the eight of us." This was shocking to hear. It took seven teams of players to successfully take down a boss. Then something popped into her mind. Including her there were only seven people here.
"Uh, Yuuki where is the eighth person?"
"Hm? Ah! Where did he go? He said he would be here." Yuuki said. Just then the door behind Asuna opened up.
"Sorry I'm late. The dungeon I was in took longer then expected." Asuna turned to the source of the voice and was shocked to see a certain male imp player standing in the door way.
"You're late. The meeting started five minutes ago." Yuuki said to the boy.
"Sorry about that Yuuki. Eh? Asuna? What are you doing here?" Seth said to Asuna.
"Seth?" Asuna responded.
"You two know each other?" Yuuki asked as it was clear to the members of the sleeping Knights that their two new members know each other.
"Yeah. She's my friend, and the girlfriend of Kirito. Remember when I told you." Seth said.
"Yuuki why is Seth here?" Asuna asked.
"Oh, that's because he beat me. So I asked him to help us beat the floor boss."
"Huh? He beat you? I thought you were still undefeated?"
"Well she kinda beat me as well." Seth said.
"We had a draw. So I won and lost." Yuuki said.
The group of eight sat at the table to discuss the matter at hand. Defeating a floor boss with just the sight of them was nuts, not to mention impossible. Yuuki explained that they had gotten close to succeeding in their impossible mission on the 25th and 26th floor bosses, but failed. Which is why they wanted to add two new players to see if they can finally accomplish their goal.
There was still one thing Asuna wanted to know about the group before she gave her help. Why? For what reason does this group of players want to defeat a floor boss all by themselves. Siune decided to speak.
"We met in a certain game's online community, and we all became good friends. But unfortunately, will probably only be able to adventure together until spring. Everyone will be busy with there own lives. So before that happens, we all decided to make a memory we'd never be able to forget." Siune said.
"And it's a boss fight?" Asuna said.
"Yeah. If you defeat a boss your name appears on the swordsman's memorial on the first floor,in the Black Iron Palace, in the town of beginnings, rights? I know it's silly, but we really want to have our names on that memorial. But there's one problem…if only a single party get pizza boss everyone's name appears on it. But if there are multiple parties, only the party leaders' names appear. In other words, to get all the sleeping knights' name on the memorial, we have to defeat the boss with a single party. And so, we all agreed. A party is a maximum of eight people. So we fight we find two new members as strong as our strongest member, Yuuki…or even stronger. And ask them to join our party..."
"That's why you were fighting those duels?" Asuna said as she turned to Yuuki. The guild leader only let out a chuckle in response.
"Well? Will you help us out? We may not be able to do much thank you but..." Siune sent Asuna a message offering a sum of Yuld.
"Fighting a boss takes a ton of money, so you should save your cash. If I can get something from the boss, that'll be enough." Asuna said as she refuse the cash, putting smiles on the faces of the Sleeping Knights members.
"Then you'll do it?" Siune asked with glee.
"I'll give it a try." Asuna said making the members of the sleeping Knights happy.
"Thank you Miss Asuna." Yuuki said.
"There's no need to be so formal. You can drop the miss." Asuna said.
"You can call me Yuuki!" The happy guild member said. The guild members enjoyed themselves till it was time to leave. Asuna suggested that they meet up tomorrow at 1:00. They agreed and went on their way.
The next day.
The group met up and planned out their strategy and headed out for the dungeon to do a little recon mission. The group easily made it past the Labyrinth and we're now in front of the boss doors. When Yuuki saw the boss doors, she couldn't contain herself. Asuna quickly noticed something was off and called out to the leader of the sleeping Knights.
"Yuuki, Wait!" Asuna said as she and the group caught up with Yuuki. Asuna brought out her wand and started using a spell.
"Ecc. Karra. Fim. Fiscul. Buryota. Ryuga. Glado!" What appeared to be small fishes made of a blue light appeared in Asuna's hand. Asuna blew on the fishes and the began to search the area for something. They revealed three players that belonged to one of the floor clearing guilds. Seth wasted no time in bring out his two katanas out and moved towards the three unwelcome players.
"Stop! Stop! We aren't here to fight!" The man pleaded.
"Then lower your weapons!" Asuna said. The group lowered their weapons. Seth stopped walking but he would be able to easily run towards the group of three if they tried anything.
"If they look like they're about to draw their swords again, cast aqua bind right away." Asuna said to Siune who was excited that she might be able to do a pvp match for the first time.
"If you aren't PKers, why were you hiding?" Asuna said.
"We're waiting for someone. We didn't want to be fighting mobs while waiting for friend, so we were hiding." This excuse was enough for Asuna so she would let them go.
"Fine. Since your waiting for your friends, you won't mind if we go ahead of you and challenge the boss."
"Not at all. Good luck!" The man said. As the group was heading towards the boss door, one of the people in the group of three casted a spell.
"Oth. Shal. Opis. Glon. Ropt." The group of three disappeared.
The sleeping Knights and their two additional members now entered the room that the floor boss was housed in. Seth noticed something else entered the room. Seth killed whatever entered the room and before he could get a good look at the thing he just killed, the boss appeared. It was a two headed, four armed giant. The boss wield two massive battering ram like hammers in the upper arms and two thick steel chains in the lower set of arms. The group took notice of the red eyes.
"Let's do this!" Asuna shouted. The point of this fight was not to defeat the boss, but to learn it's attack pattern. They would fight until they were all dead. In the end Seth and Yuuki were the only ones left alive and were taken out then the boss unleashed some sort of poisonous breath attack.
Back at the town.
The group was tired from fighting and losing against the boss, but they did learn the bosses attack pattern and could not form a good strategy to win the next time they saw the boss. However before they could think of their next course of action, Asuna informed them that the players they saw in front of the boss doors were scouts from a guild that only fight bosses. The The sleeping nights suddenly realized they were being used by the bigger guilds to find the boss this weakness.
It was not coincidence that after they challenge the 25th and 26th floors their bosses were suddenly defeated. The sleeping Knights Felt discarded by the fact that they were you several times. But they had one hope. It was 2:30 PM in the real world. The bigger guild will need at least one hour to get enough players to challenge the boss, they had a very small window to defeat the boss. This would be their last chance.
Half an hour later.
The sleeping Knights were back at the boss doors and they found other players at the boss doors. However there were only about 20 or so. The main group had yet to arrive. They still had a chance to defeat the boss. Asuna approached one of the guild members.
"Excused me. We want to challenge the boss. Can you let us through?" Asuna asked.
"Sorry. This place is off limits right now." Seth tapped Asuna's shoulder.
"What exactly do you mean by off limits?" Seth said to the guild member.
"Well our guild is about to fight the boss. I have orders not to let anyone inside."
"Let me get this straight, Just because of your guild said you can't let anyone in, you're going to block a group that is ready to go."
"That's correct."
"I see. Well everyone I can see a solution to our little problem. All we have to do is kill them." Without warning Seth brought out his katanas and impaled the player in front of him. Seth lifted up the player using his blades, before dropping him. Seth impaled the player again while he was on the ground killing him.
"Hey! That was a sneak attack! That wasn't fair!" One of the fellow guild members said.
"You wanna know what's not fair? Have a group of douche bags blocking our way to the boss. Now this is your only warning. Leave or I will kill you." Seth said. The guild members drew their blades.
"So be it." Seth jumped into the air. He landed on two guild members and impaled them. Three other guild attacked Seth. The male imp blocked the incoming attack. The three attacking players were hit by Yuuki and Asuna who decided to help out. The other members of the sleeping Knights joined Seth in fighting their way to the boss.
The group only had a few more enemy guild members to kill when the rest of the guild members arrive. The sleeping Knights were ready to go down fighting if they couldn't fight the boss, but suddenly two people that were in the front of the large group sped up and turned around.
"Sorry, but this place is off limits." A black sword with two swords said. Standing next to the swordsmen was a light blue hair Cait Sith.
"Kirito-kun?!" Asuna said in shock that her in-game husband arrived in there hour of need.
"I'm here too! Just in the back!" Klein said as he was in the back of large group. Seth was shocked to see Sinon standing next to Kirito, but before he could say something, his girlfriend spoke.
"I really don't know what's going on, but get going! Explain to me later!" Sinon said as she fired at the large group with her bow.
"Thanks! I'll make you whatever you want for dinner tonight!" Seth said as his group finished off the people that were getting in his way and opened the boss doors. As they were closing the boss doors behind them, they saw Kirito give them a V sign with his hand.
Inside the boss room.
The boss appeared in front of the sleeping Knights once more and this time they had to win. The group took their positions and began the battle. As the battle continued Asuna began to notice something. The boss seemingly random guard pattern was actually covering something. The boss had a gem on it's chest. Asuna asked Siune to take care of the healing for 30 seconds while she tested a theory.
"Leave it to me, Asuna." Siune said. Asuna used an ice spell and launched several spears of ice at the boss. The ice spears hit the gem on the boss' chest. The boss recoiled in pain as Asuna had discovered the weak spot on the boss. Asuna gave the rest of her healing supplies to Siune and rushed towards Yuuki.
"Yuuki the gem on the boss' chest, that's it weak point." Asuna said.
"Got it Nee-chan!" Yuuki replied.
"Nee-chan?" This new information was heard by Seth who quickly devised a plan.
"Tecchi, point your shield towards the roof!" Seth shouted.
"Huh?" Tecchi said as he was caught off guard.
"Now!" Seth shouted and Tecchi reacted without thinking. Seth jumped on the shield and was able to reach the gem on the giant's chest. Both of his katanas began to glow before he unleashed the sword skill Eclipse on the boss. The boss recoiled in pain as the 27 hit attack struck him. The boss was not defeated yet. The boss used one of its hammers and struck Seth sending him flying back. Seth flew back and collided with Siune.
Things were not look good for the group, that was until Yuuki did the same thing as Seth and used Tecchi as a jump platform. The leader of the sleeping Knights used her original sword skill, Mother Rosario. The eleven hit sword skills hit the boss in its weak spot. The boss shatter into millions of pixels and the fight was over.
Now the giant boss doors behind the group open and the large guild group that Kirito, Klein, and Sinon were fighting off entered and the entire dropped their jaws in shock. They saw that the boss was defeated by only eight people.
"Impossible!" The leader of the guild said. In response the sleeping knight members raised their hand in a V shape and smiled. With their mission completed the group decided to head to Asuna and Kirito's Home to hold a celebration.
At the celebration the sleeping Knights realized that they forgot to give some sort of payment to Asuna and Seth for helping them defeat the boss. Seth said he didn't need a reward and that having his name go down in ALO history do to their action would be enough. Asuna asked if she could join the sleeping Knights officially and was told that the guild was to disband in the spring. Seth was curious now. Why would a guild need to disband in this day and age considering the fact that social media was so advance in this universe that they could always stay in touch unless they were dead?
"Dead?" Seth thought in his mind. Asuna was rejected from joining the guild and she decided to change the mood by heading to the swordsmen memorial to see their names on the wall.
Town of beginning.
The group rushed towards the wall and look for their names on the wall. They quickly found them.
"There they are." Yuuki said. The names on the wall read Yuuki, Siune, Tecchi, Talken, Jun, Nori, Darth Dominus, Asuna. Seth thought that he should have changed his screen name, but he liked how unique it appeared on the wall.
"There they are. Our names…" Yuuki was starting to tear up.
"Hey, let's take a picture!" Jun said. The group got in place and took the picture. Seth decided to look at the wall again just to see all the names on the wall and noticed that Kirito was on it a lot. Seth suddenly heard sobbing and turned around just in time to see Yuuki log out.
"Asuna what happen?"
"I don't know?" Seth now had to get to the bottom of this mystery.
In the real world.
Seth logged out of ALO and took off his Amusphere. He got out of his bed and grabbed something to drink. Soon after he got up Shino had arrived in his apartment. Their was a look on her face that clearly said that she wanted to know what he was recently up to.
"Before I tell you what I was doing, I was wondering what you want for dinner?" Seth asked.
"Okonomiyaki." Shino said. Seth was in luck. Okonomiyaki was pretty easy to make. As he started to get to work on making dinner Shino decided to start her homework. Seth began to explain the about his time with the Sleeping Knights and why Asuna and he were helping them. He also told Shino that there was something off about the guild he had helped.
They seemed to be hiding something and Seth was going to get to the bottom of it. Somehow the conversation shifted to the topic of marriage. Of course Shino meant in game marriage, but Seth was actually wondering if he should get married soon. He was almost 25 and traveling to other dimensions was taking a toll on him emotionally. Akikaze also needed a mother, considering that what Seth had in store with his PMC was going to eat up all of his time. He couldn't just ask the girls at the moon base to keep watching him. And what if something happened to him. Who would watch after his son. His mother maybe, but he needed to be sure his son would be safe. Seth asked Shino if she wanted to get married in game considering they were already going out. She agreed and said she would log on later that night.
A Few Hours Later.
Seth logged back onto ALO and messaged Sinon on where they should meet. She said to meet him at a nearby inn. Seth made his way towards the inn and there he found the blue hair Cait Sith.
"Come with me." Sinon said as she grabbed Seth's hand and led him to a room. Once inside, Sinon locked the door. Seth was wondering why she was acting all jittery.
"Could she really be that nervous? I mean it's just in game marriage and we've only been dating for three weeks." Seth though in his mind. Suddenly a message appeared on Seth's screen. It was a marriage proposal. Seth hit accept and another message appeared that said 'Congratulations'.
"Well then, I guess there's one last thing to do." Seth placed his hands on Sinon shoulders and planted a kiss on the Cait Sith. "I have to kiss the bride, don't I?" Seth said. Sinon open up her option menu and turned a switched. She started to removed her clothing until she was in her bra and panties.
"Sinon what are you doing?" Seth asked.
"What?! Aren't we gonna…" Sinon blushed and turned away. "You're gonna make me say it out loud? You're cruel." Seth suddenly realized what she was implying.
"Huh? You can have sex in ALO?" Seth asked.
"Well yeah, you have to go into settings and turn off the Ethic code setting." Sinon said. Seth quickly opens his setting and turn off the ethic code.
A Few Days Later.
With the help of Blaze and Flame, Seth learned Yuuki's real name, Konno Yuuki and the location where Yuuki was staying. It was in a hospital that was testing a new type of fulldive device. The medicuboid. Unlike the retail models of fulldive technology the medicuboid was supposed to be used on medical patients with terminal illnesses. Seth knew now that Yuuki's health was not in good shape. Seth arrived at the hospital and approached the front desk. Where there was a single person at the desk.
"Excuse me. I'm looking for a person named Konno Yuuki. The one testing the Medicuboid." Seth said.
"Your name sir?" The lady said. Seth gave his name and the Attendant asked him to sit down.
Thanks to Kirito, Asuna learned that Yuuki was most likely at a hospital were they were testing the medicuboid. She made her way to the front desk, but she heard her name called.
"Asuna! Over here!" Asuna turned her head and saw a man with black hair and white highlights was waving at her. She recognized that face the man had.
"Seth?" This was the first time the two had met in real life.
"The one and only. I'm guessing that you're here to see Yuuki as well." Seth said as Asuna took the seat next to him.
"Yeah. How did you know that Yuuki was here." Asuna asked.
"Let's just say I have my resources." Seth said. As the two were talking the two were approached by a doctor.
"Hello. Are you two by any chance Seth and Asuna?" The two of them nodded their heads.
"My name is Dr. Kurahashi. I'm Konno Yuuki's doctor." The Dr. Kurahashi talked to the two of them before he took them to Yuuki. They saw her hooked up the medicuboid and that was when Dr. Kurahashi told them Yuuki's history.
Around the time of her and her twin sister's birth, their mother suffered a dystocia and had to have a Cesarean performed on her. Due to an accident during the procedure she needed a blood transfusion. But this blood was tainted with the HIV virus and by the time they realized what had happened. The virus had spread to all other the immediate family members. They fought the disease for a long time, but two years ago, Yuuki's parents lost the battle and a year after that, Konno Aiko fell to the disease. Now it was just Yuuki and things were looking grim.
Seth started to wonder if there was anything he could do. Seth remembered that he is immune to HIV. They did some test when he was around 13, but AIDS was a medical condition when the body's immune system is compromised to the point where a simple cold could kill the infected host.
"Has someone tried to restore an immune system?" Seth thought in his mind. Suddenly it hit him. Stella was in a similar situation with a the added chemicals in her body and with the years of damage, but thanks to the virus in his body.
"Could it fix Yuuki's body?" He wondered.
What happened next was a compete shock to Dr. Kurahashi and Asuna. Seth asked if he could barrow a lab in the hospital to see if he could repair Yuuki's body. Dr. Kurahashi wanted to know what on earth he could have that could cure for aids. Seth explained that he was experimented when he was young and now had a virus in his body that could be used. To his surprise the doctor said yes. Seth would spend about a month working on a cure.
Two months later.
The virus in Seth's body was engineered to a weaker form, but it still had it's healing abilities and Yuuki was feeling a lot better. Dr. Kurahashi was in complete awe as he witness Yuuki recover from a terminal illness and become clear of the HIV virus.
Asuna and company were going to host a party to celebrate Yuuki discharge from the hospital. Seth was sent to pick up Yuuki. He arrived at the hospital and he was immediately approached by the security guard.
"I'm sorry sir. I have orders not to allow you into." The guard said.
"Eh? Sora, I've been here for the last two months?" Seth said as he got to know several members of the staff at the hospital. He always greeted the guard when he came into the hospital.
"I'm sorry, but I'm just doing my job." Sora said.
"No, it's fine. I understand." Seth closed his fist and extended his pointer finger and middle finger out. He waved his hand in front of the guard.
"You will let me through." Seth stated.
"I will let you through." Seth was glad that the Jedi mind trick worked on the guard. After all he was just doing his job. Seth walked into the hospital and used the Jedi mind trick on the attendant and made his way to Yuuki's room. She was gone. There was nothing in the room. Not even the medicuboid. He quickly made his way to Dr. Kurahashi office and slammed open the door.
"Ah?!" Dr. Kurahashi said as he was startled by Seth entering the room.
"WHERE IS SHE?!" Seth said as he grabbed Dr. Kurahashi and slammed him on the nearby wall.
"Seth! I'm sorry! I had no choice! They took her away. They threaten my family if I didn't hand her and the culture sample over to them. Please you have to understand!" Dr. Kurahashi said frantically.
"What happened here?" Seth said as he calmed down and put Dr. Kurahashi down. He explained that shortly after Seth and Asuna left last night spending time with the recovering Yuuki, a group of men Wearing black suits arrived and demanded that Yuuki, along with all research regarding the treatment she received be handed over. If they didn't their family members would be hurt.
Seth knew that it was a possibility that a government agency could try and take the data, but was sure none of the information was leaked. How did someone learn about their research. That was not important. What was important is finding out where Yuuki went. Seth looked at the security tapes but they had been erased.
Seth sat on the roof of the hospital and began to meditate. He began to use the force to search for Yuuki. He spent an hour for using before he was able to sense her. She was far, but still in Japan.
Later that Night. Dicey Café
"Where are they?" Shino said as she along with the others were waiting for Seth and Yuuki to arrive. Asuna had invited Kazuto, Shino, Ryotaro (Klein), Suguha, Rika (Lisbeth), and Keiko (Silica). They decided to host the party at Andrew's (Agil) Cafe. The party was supposed to start about an hour ago, but they had yet to head anything my from Seth. The group was starting to get worried, but they heard the door open. They saw Seth walk in the building with Yuuki who looked like her avatar except that she had shoulder length purple hair.
"Asuna!" Yuuki said as she rushed to the brown hair girl and hugged her. Asuna returned the hug and the two enjoyed each other company. The group instantly noticed that Seth was wearing some sort of black skin tight outfit that clearly outline his body, leaving nothing to the imagination.
"What the hell are you wearing?! Where have you been?!" Shino said as was is blushing red at the clear outline of Seth's body. The other girls were blushing at the sight of Seth's muscular body.
"Oh, this is a plugsuit and as for where I've been, well I think I'm on the news right now." Seth said. Andrew quickly turned on a TV and switched over to a news network. There they was a news reporter in front a fence that said 'U.S. Military Facility. Unauthorized Entry Prohibited and Punishable by Japanese Law'.
"Hello everyone. I'm standing just outside of the United States Navy base located in Yokusuka where they were just attacked by an unknown assailant. We're getting reports that some sort of unknown machine attacked the base and destroyed over 8 ships, 24 tanks and several buildings. In all the damage is expecting to surpass over 11 billion dollars. Miraculously we are being informed that there are no death. We will update you as the situation develops." The news reporter said.
"Seth did you-"
"I think it's better if I did this." Seth said as he partially deployed [B.L.A.Z.E.]. "Trans-am burst!" Seth said as the fold out armor on [B.L.A.Z.E.] expanded and the group inside the café were surrounded in green GN particles.
A few moments later.
The group stood in silent as they were processing the data they just took in. Of course it was hard to believe that their recently made gaming friend was an inter-dimension traveler. Seth however had another pressing matter to deal with. What was he to do with Yuuki and Shino. Yuuki would be hunted down, Shino was his current girlfriend and he had to leave soon. He couldn't just take her back with him. She has a family here.
"Okay we need to answer a serious question. Yuuki what are your plans after this?"
"Huh?"
"Well you're now wanted by the United States government and most likely several other world agencies. They will hunt you down to the ends of the earth. So I think you have only three choices. One you could travel from place to place avoiding all contact with people as you try to avoid the people that will eventually capture you. Two you can come back with me and be under my Organization protection and you'll be able to live a normal life." Seth said.
"What's option three?" Yuuki asked.
"Well, I'll kill you right here and now, but I'm pretty sure you don't want that." Seth said with Yuuki instantly agreed that option was here least favorite. She had to make a life altering decision so soon. Seth saw that she was troubled so he decided to try and persuade her.
"Look Yuuki, I know this is a tough decision, I'm not gonna force you to do anything, but I assure you I only want the best for you, after all this is my fault. Seth said. Yuuki thought for a bit and she decided that she would go.
"Great, now then I have one last thing to deal with." Before Seth could finish his sentence Shino spoke.
"If you're taking her, than you have to take me as well." Shino stated.
"Huh?! Shino? This is leaving your dimension, now just moving to a different country, if I was to take you back with me, there's no guarantee that the flow of times will sync up. One day in my dimension could mean a year here. What about your family?" Seth wanted to take Shino back with him. He loved her, but she has a family here.
"Seth you know my father died in a car accident and my mom in a mental ward. They say she's not going to recover. The only person in my family the I can speak to is my grandfather and he's pretty old already. I think he old has about five years left at most." Shino said causing the mood to change. Seth took a few seconds to think before he made his decision.
"Well if that's the case, I'll take you with me, under two conditions. One you finish your school year. You only have like two month left, right? And secondly I'll ask your grandfather if it's okay to take you with me. Alright."
"Sure!" Shino said happily.
"Yuuki, you'll be staying with me in my apartment until we leave alright."
"Sure." Yuuki said. The group decided to enjoy the party.
About two months Later.
With these two months, Yuuki had grown attached to Seth. Very attached. Shino obviously did not like this. The black hair with white highlights did not mind this, but he started to think that he had to stop bring girls back with him. He couldn't keep leading girls on. He had to come to a choice and stick to one girl.
Or did he.
What if he decided to take more then one girl to stand by his side. He was planning to use WILLE to help expand humanity into space, building colonies on other worlds, but he needed some form of way of keeping control. He was going to have selected official officials to report to him as he would be the leader of this his new country, but what if he had a royal family. Loyalty would not be a problem. He could build his nation. No an empire that expanded several planets.
He explained his plans to Yuuki and Shino. At first they thought he was crazy, but they warmed up to the idea and to his suprise they agreed to it.
Seth, Yuuki, and Shino were now about to head back. Their friends had met them one last time before they left. They promised to meet each other again someday. Seth equipped [B.L.A.Z.E.] and opened a portal back to the moon.
At the Lunar Base.
Seth had called Samus, Tabane, Amelia, Gina, Rattle, Stella, and Serra Keto into a meeting room for a very important meeting. Once the girls were all in the meeting room, Yuuki and Shino enter the room. The girls were wondering why Seth called them into the room. Seth entered the room and he had several small boxes that he placed on the table.
"Ladies, I'm sure you're wondering why I've called you all here. Well…" Seth used the force to open the boxes and revealed several rings with red crystals in them. "I want you to marry me." Seth used the force to lift the rings in front of them. It took several seconds for the girls beside Yuuki and Shino to process what they just heard.
"WHAT?!"
