In the year 2022 the SAO incident occurred, in which nearly 10,000 SAO players were trapped in the game Sword Art Online and would remain trapped there until they complete the game. 2 years into the game, and it was finally cleared by the Black Swordsman Kirito, with over 6, 000 players surviving the death game.

In one timeline, that is when after clearing SAO, 300 of the SAO survivors would be transported to another game to be experimented on allowing the Black Swordsman to take flight in the game Alfheim Online to rescue them, however this isn't that timeline.

(December 9, 2024: A Month After SAO Was Cleared)

A young man with black hair can be seen watching the waves crash down by the shore, as a young beautiful woman garbed in black and white clothes walked towards him.

Girl: Congratulations! You have been chosen to take part in a new game.

The girl presents the young man a yellow case.

The young man, without hesitating, opens the case to reveal a black device along with a white circular object, with the image of a red fox on it.

The young man could only smirk as he took the black device and circular object from the case before inserting the circular object into the black device.

Entry

(December 31, 2024)

Ring.....

The bells connected to the door chimed as a group of girls, wearing ordinary clothes, entered the cafe which the door leads to.

Within the cafe was a tall, big African-American man with a bald haircut carrying boxes around. The man sees the group of girls and smiles.

Man: Asuna, Liz, Silica welcome.

Asuna: Hi Agil.

Liz: Sup.

Silica: Go-good day.

The girls all greeted Agil as they all took a seat by the counter.

Asuna was a young teenage girl who had long orange hair with hazel eyes. Liz looked around the same age as Asuna, with short brown hair and dark-pink eyes. And Silica was the youngest of the three with brown hair tied into two tails by red ribbons, and light-brown eyes.

The clothing the girls were wearing consisted of jackets, blouses, skirts, and leggings to combat the cold brought by the month of December.

Agil: It's rare to see you three out and about this early in the day. And the party won't start till later tonight.

Agil had set down the boxes he was carrying, to allow him pour drinks for the three girls.

Liz: Well we had a lot planned today.

Liz huffed as she had set down a stack of papers on the counter.

Agil: More posters, huh?

Liz: Tell me about it! It's been nearly 2 months since SAO was cleared, but that idiot still hasn't shown his face yet.

Agil: Just what could have happened to the guy, there was no security footage that showed what happened.

Liz: For worrying us this much, I'll smack him real good once we find him

Silica: Geez Liz, no need for you to hit him like that. Plus we didn't know if left the hospital of his own volition.

Liz: I guess you're right. Aso.....

Flick!

Silica: Hey!

Silica rubs her forehead, after Liz had flicked with a smile on her face.

Liz: No using in-game names in the real world.

Silica: Oh right, sorry

Liz: You too Andrew.

Agil: Yeah, sorry about that.

Silica and Liz began conversing with one another, allowing Agil to focus his attention on Asuna.

Agil: Hey Asuna, how're you feeling?

Asuna: Oh, I'm fine Ag- I mean Andrew-san thanks for asking.

Agil: His disappearance must be hard on you.

Asuna: Yeah, but his family is taking it even harder.

Agil: It seems you met them.

Asuna: Yeah, I met them a couple of times now.

Agil: That's good, getting to know your in-laws.

Asuna: Oh come on Agil, you know I never confessed to him!

Asuna blushes at Agil's words, while Silica and Liz pouted out of jealousy. However Agil and the other two girls were quick to notice Asuna's sadness, causing them to worry.

Liz: Hey Asuna....

Asuna: Huh?

Liz: Don't worry we'll find him.

Liz gives Asuna a reassuring smile, causing Asuna's smile to brighten and the others to smile.

(Elsewhere)

In a dark room, the girl from before can be seen under a spotlight holding a tablet in her hand.

Girl: For the final game, it's the Slug Fortress Jyamato. The goal of the game is for the players to defeat the last boss, the Fortress Jyamato. You can accumulate points during the round by completing secret missions, or defeating ordinary Jyamato.

The girl brings out a holographic screen with her tablet showing a map of the city.

Girl: The Fortress Jyamato won't appear until a certain amount of time has passed, so I wish you all the best of luck dealing with the minor Jyamato......

The girl puts down her tablet as she turns around as a spotlight turns on revealing a middle aged man wearing a black and blue jacket, with black pants and black combat shoes.

Girl: Shirowe.....

Another spotlight turns on revealing a young teenager with gray hair wearing the same outfit as Shirowe.

Girl: Buffa....

One final spotlight turns on revealing a young teenage boy around the same age as Buffa with black hair, wearing the same type of clothing as the other two.

Shirowe: The location this time is in Saitama. Many SAO survivors are located there with many being students of the Survivor School located nearby.

Buffa: Heh, it doesn't matter.

Shirowe: Doesn't matter, those kids spent two long years trapped in a game where they could die! I don't want them to experience something like that again.

Geats: That doesn't really matter, since they'll all forget anyway after the game, bye.

Geats turns and is about to walk away till Buffa calls out to him.

Buffa: Geats! Where do you think you're going?

Geats: I thought I'd let you guys attempt to rack up some points first, before I take the win.

Buffa: Bastard! You actually think you could win.

Geats: Obviously....

With that Geats takes his leave, leaving an irritated Buffa by himself.

Buffa: Bastard.....

(Elsewhere)

???1: Damn it! Where is she?

???2: She doesn't seem to be here. Let's move on to another to find the young lady?

Two men wearing suits were surveying the area looking for someone.

Suit 1: It doesn't seem that she's here

Suit 2: Let's move on then.

The two suits leave the area, continuing their search in another.

Behind the bushes a girl was seen peeking through them. She was wearing a jacket with the hood on, a cap, and glasses to hide her identity.

Girl: sigh....... Thank goodness, they left.

???: What are you doing?

The girls look up to find it was Geats staring right at her. She was surprised at the sudden appearance of an unknown boy finding her.

Girl: KYAAA!!!

The two suits were still close enough to hear the girl's scream, causing them to hurriedly turn around.

Suits 1/2: Young Miss!

The two were met with empty air as they turned around to find no one, including Geats.

Suit 1: That voice definitely belonged to the young miss.

Suit 2: Yes, she must be here somewhere. Let's search the area again.

Suit 1: Yes.

The two began searching the area again,

Behind the bushes the girl is seen on top of Geats, with her glasses falling off revealing her red-eyes. She looked back through the bushes at the men in suits. As soon as the suits leave the area the girl releases a sigh of relief, as she sits right up.

Geats: You know.....

Girl: Huh?

Geats: As much as I appreciate how close you are to me, I think it's best if we get lunch first before advancing our relationship.

The girl looks down and blushes, as she sees the position she and Geats were in.

Girl: KYA! I'm so sorry!

The girl had hurriedly gotten off Geats, with her blushing madly. The young just laughs it off as he slowly gets up.

Geats: It's alright, and I'm taking it from how you're hiding from those suits that you're a runaway then?

The girl was hesitant to reply, however she eventually slowly nodded.

Growl....

A small growl can be heard from the girl's stomach, causing her to blush even more and look down.

Geats: Sounds like you're hungry, how about we grab something to eat.

Geats gets up, and offers his hand to the girl. The girl was hesitant at first, but there was something about Geats that made him special to her. In the end she ends up taking Geats' offer.

Girl: Sure.

The girl smiled as Geats pulled her up, causing her hood to fall off revealing her long flowing white hair.

Girl: I'm Yuna. Shigemura Yuna.

Geats: Nice to meet you Yuna, I'm Eisuke, but you can call me "Ace."

Later, Ace and Yuna can be seen dining in a nearby Ramen Restaurant, with the waitress having delivered their food.

Ace/Yuna: Itadakimasu!

Before Yuna could begin she realizes something.

Yuna: Ah!

Ace: What?

Yuna: I forgot to begin streaming.

Ace: Streaming?

Yuna: Yeah, I almost forgot.

Yuna reaches inside her jacket before taking out a white-headset looking device. Ace immediately recognizes the device.

Ace: An Augma?

Yuna: Yeah.

Yuna then activates her Augma, as a hologram of a small spheroid object appears, the object seems to be a floating camera based on the lens seen within it.

The floating camera began floating, as Yuna began streaming

Yuna: Yo! Everyone

(Elsewhere)

Somewhere else, on the rooftops of the Buffa and Shirowe can be seen watching the skyline of the city. The two watched as a dome suddenly began forming around one part of the city.

Buffa: So it's begun.

Buffa smirks as he stares at the dome slowly forming around them. Shirowe could see the smirk forming on BUffa causing him to get angry at the young man.

Shirow: How can you smile at times like this! People's lives are on the line!

Buffa: Meaning extra points for us.

Buffa takes out a black and gray device that had white curves at the center giving a shape of an almost circle, and circular purple object at the center that had an orange image of a buffalo. Buffa places it on his waist, allowing a belt to appear and strap the device to Buffa

Desire Driver!

Shirowe: Why you!

Shriowe then proceeds to take out his own Desire Driver similar to Buffa's; the difference is that the circular object was white and had a blue bear symbol on it. Shirowe also puts it on his waist and a belt appears strapping on to him.

Desire Driver!

Both Shirowe and Buffa take out one more device, they were buckles however they were special. Shirowe's was small, as it had a green arrow on, as for Buffa's his was bigger, it had a key with a rib cages like design.

The two slid their device into their own set respective drivers.

Set!

The two positioned themselves, as they moved their hands to their respective buckles. Holographic logos with the words 'ARROW' and 'ZOMBIE' appeared beside Shirowe and Buffa respectively.

Shirowe/Buffa: Henshin!

The two turn or activate the switches that were on their buckles, causing the logos beside them to transform into pieces of armor. The two also transformed with bothe having similar looking black suits, however the difference between the two is that Shirowe's helmet consisted of a white bear and one consists being a shape of a star and Buffa's was a purple buffalo with silver horns.

Two mechanical arms appear behind Buffa and Shirow before grabbing onto the pieces of armor and drags them, equipping them to their own respective user.

Zombie

Armed Arrow

Shirowe was now equipped with a crossbow with his eyes turning yellow, and shoulder armor appearing on him, and the Arrow symbol appearing on his right chest and green straps strapping the armor to his body.

As for Buffa, he was now equipped with a purple armor on his upper body. His torso has a skeleton-like design, with spikes on his shoulders. He gained a gauntlet on his left hand that contained long orange nails. A giant sword that had a chainsaw for its blade.

Ready, Fight!

The two jumped down from the building.

(With Ace)

Ace and Yuna were eating their ramen, with Yuna still streaming her meal.

Yuna: Yum! This ramen's super good. I really recommend you try this the next time you're in the area, bye!

Yuna ends her stream, as Ace looks up at her.

Ace: So you're a streamer huh?

Yuna: Hm? Yeah, sorry if I troubled you while you were eating.

Ace: No, it's fine. Although wouldn't streaming be a bad idea since you're on the run.

Yuna: giggles.... I know, but I just love doing this.

Ace: Really why?

Yuna: Well it's because I- Huh?

Yuna was suddenly interrupted as a red barrier appeared, splitting the restaurant into two sides. People begin panicking, including Yuna, as Ace smiles knowing what's happening and the reason why the barrier.

Yuna: Nani?! What's happening?!

Ace: Looks like it's starting.

Yuna: Huh?

Yuna turns to Ace, however before she could ask him anything a loud explosion was heard that shook the ground.

Yuna: What was that?!

Yuna ran off towards the exit.

Ace: Yuna wait!

Ace attempted to stop the young girl, however he was too late as Yuna had reached the door and exited the restaurant.

Ace: sigh..... Damn it.

Outside, Yuna found that the section of the city was encased in a red dome, with her being within it. The city was in shambles, as she grew scared of the sudden turn of events.

Yuna begins looking around the surrounding area, only finding destroyed buildings and empty streets.

Yuna: Wh-what is this?

BOOOOOOMMMMMM!!!!

A nearby explosion gets Yuna's attention, as she sees people running away from an unknown entity. As people ran, strange beings dressed in red kimonos appeared, holding different kinds of weapons chasing after them.

Yuna hid behind some rubble, as she quietly the creatures corner a man.

Yuna: What are those things doing?

The creatures raise their weapons, causing Yuna's eyes to widen in horror as she realizes what they were about to do.

Man: Wait no! Please!

The creatures didn't listen to the man as they brought their weapons down, beating the man till there's a pool of blood left.

Yuna: Gasp.....

Yuna's gasp catches the creature's attention, causing her to quickly hide behind some of the rubble. She held her hands over mouth as she avoided making any noise that could attract them to her.

Unfortunately, her earlier gasp had already attracted them, causing them to walk towards the rubble she was hiding behind. Just as they were about to find her, a newcomer suddenly arrives and punches one of the creatures away, and begins to quickly disarm and beat each and every one of the creatures.

???: You ok?

Yuna looks up to see it was Ace who had saved her.

Yuna: Ace?

Ace extends his hand towards Yuna, the girl only looks up at Ace with a look of horror fresh on her face. Ace quickly notices Yuna's expression.

Ace: What's wrong?

Yuna: Tho-Those things they.....

Yuna pointed to the pool of blood that were meters away from them, and Ace immediately understood what happened.

Ace: So the Jyamatos have already started, huh?

Yuna: Jya-Jyamatos? You know what they are?

Ace: More or less.....

Ace looks out at the streets, to find more Jyamato appearing. Yuna had gotten a horrified look on her face from the numbers of Jyamto appearing, causing her to back away in fear.

Yuna: Ju-just what is goin on?

Ace: Isn't it obvious.....

Yuna turns towards Ace, as she notices the young teen has an Augma on his face.

Yuna: 'An Augma?'

In Ace's perspective, he was looking at a screen that appears to be the rankings of a game. On that screen he sees his name as Geats, Buffa, and Shirowe on it and sees the words Eliminated on Shirowe as Buffa is now in first place.

Ace: It's the end of the world.

Desire Driver

Ace takes out a Desire driver, with a core that has the image of Fox on it, and attaches it to his waist. He takes out a device that had a magnum cylinder attached to it and a trigger on it. Ace inserts it in the desired driver.

Set

A logo appears, with the word "MAGNUM" on it. Ace turns his body as he snaps his fingers at the Jyamatos.

Ace: Henshin!

Ace spins the cylinder on the driver, before proceeding to pulling the trigger on the device. Bullets flew out of the device before directing themselves at the logo, causing it to transform pieces of armor.

Ace is transformed into a black suit, with armor padded around the body, as a mask of white fox appears on his.

A hologram of a mechanical hand appears behind Ace and grabs the pieces of armor, before pulling it towards Ace.

Magnum

The eyes in Ace's suit glowed orange, as he is now wearing the white armor that appeared earlier, and a piece of cloth attached to it. On his waist was a white, orange, and black gun that follows the theme of his suit.

Ready, Fight!

Yuna was shocked at Geats' transformation, with her eyes wide and attention focused solely on him.

Yuna: Ju-Just who are you Ace?

???: Geats..... Kamen Rider Geats.

Magnum Shooter 40x

Geats takes out his gun and points it at the Jyamatos.

Geats: A no good deevious fox.

(A/N: That's it, I hope you enjoy this. I thought of this story over a year ago but could never really figure out how to tell, but finally now I do so I hope you enjoy it.)

Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang... Bang...

Geats fired his gun at the Jyamato as he started fending the kimono-dressed monsters one at a time. He raises his arm as he blocks a strike from one of the Jyamato's as he sweeps the legs of several others.

Soon, Geats finds himself surrounded by the group of Jyamato, as they point their weapons at Geats. The white fox rider only scoffs at the Jyamatos' attempt to surround him.

Geats: Heh... Do you really think this is the best that you could do?

A piece of armor on Geats' forearm unfolded, revealing another gun as part of his armor.

Geats: Now, show me what you've got?

Geats aimed his guns at the Jyamatos, as the kimono-wearing monsters charged him. Gunfire ranged through the area where Geats was having his battle.

Yuna: What the hell is going on?!

With Yuna, the white-haired girl was watching Geats battle from afar, as she watches Geats trapping a Jyamato under his foot. Geats soon ended the Jyamato with his gun, causing her to flinch.

Yuna: This has to be a dream......

Yuna soon steps away, not accepting the reality of her situation, as she bolts away from the area where Geats battle was being held. She ran even faster as she heard the gunshots echoing in her ears.

(Opening)

https://youtu.be/xpN7rNcm5Vc

Bang... Bang... Bang...

With Geats, the white fox rider had gunned down the last Jyamato that had surrounded him. It's dead body soon dropping down on the ground, before soon disappearing into a pile of ash.

Geats: Man, I thought I would finally get a challenge from those grunts.

Mission Complete!

Hearing that announcement, Geats turns his attention to where the sound came from. There he finds a small box materializing in the middle of the air and quickly takes it.

Geats soon transforms back to normal, as he begins his examination of the box. He soon opens and smiles, seeing the contents of what's inside

Ace: Now that just made this all worth it.

Ace smiles, as he takes something out of the box.

(With Yuna)

Yuna was currently running for her life. She was attempting to create enough distance herself from any battle that involved these "Jyamatos" and "Kamen Riders."

Yuna eventually stops running, as she is now out of breath. She leaned her back on a nearby wall, as she rested to recover her strength.

Yuna: What the hell?!

Yuna slowly slid to the ground, holding her knees tightly to her head. She begins to cry as she could feel the hopelessness of her current predicament.

???: Jyamar!

Yuna's eyes widen, as she recognizes the familiar cries of Jyamatos nearby. She peeks out of her hiding spot to look at what was happening.

Yuna's eyes widened in horror, as she watched a small group of Jyamatos surrounding an old man.

Old man: No.... please... I beg of you.....

The Jyamatos did not give notice to the old man's pleas as they mercilessly killed the man in one.

Yuna gasped in horror at the scene before her, earning the attention of the Jyamatos. The kimono-wearing monsters turned towards her direction, causing the white-haired girl to duck as she covered her mouth hoping that they wouldn't find her.

Yuna: 'Please, someone save me!'

As the Jyamatos closed in on her, she held her breath hoping that they wouldn't find her. They soon found her spot, her eyes widened in fear as they were about to attack her.

Yuna: 'Is this the end?'

Just as the Jyamatos were about to attack her, arrows made of green energy were suddenly fired at the group of Jyamatos.

Yuna was surprised when another masked armored warrior appeared. It was Shirowe as he began to fight off the small group of Jyamatos.

Yuna: 'Another one? And a bear this time?'

Shirowe: Are you alright?

Yuna: Huh? Yeah...

Shirowe: Good...

Shirowe pulls on the trigger on his Arrow Buckle, causing his green crossbow to glow with green energy.

Arrow Strike!

Shirowe fired multiple green arrows at the Jyamatos, destroying them. Once ensuring that all the Jyamato's were dealt with Shirowe focused his attention on Yuna.

Shirowe: Are you alright? Were you with anyone?

Yuna: I'm fine, but no I wasn't with anyone....

Shirowe: You sure? Because I could've sworn that I heard a man's voice calling for help.

Yuna: Well that's because....

Yuna trails off as she looks towards the dead human body lying meters away from them. Shirowe sees this and immediately understands what happened.

Shirowe: Come with me, I'll take you somewhere safe.

Yuna followed Shirowe in silence, as he leads her to somewhere. Soon, she finds herself being led to a rooftop by Shirowe.

Shirowe: It may not seem the most ideal hiding place, but most of the Jyamatos are focused on whatever is on the ground and not up on the roofs. You should be safe here till the games end.

Yuna: What the hell is going on?! What game are you talking about?

Shirowe: It doesn't matter, you wouldn't remember by the end of it anyways.

Shirowe opens the door to the roof, revealing a small group of survivors that he had rescued. Among them were Asuna, Lisbeth, and Silica.

Asuna: Goutokuji-san, you're back!

Shirowe: Yes, and I've brought another survivor.

Asuna: That's great, thank you very much for your hard work.

Yuna looked around the roof, as she noticed that among the survivors Shirowe had rescued, there were Asuna, SIlica, Lisbeth, a blonde-haired boy, and a dark-haired girl with glasses.

Asuna: Nice to meet you, I'm Yuuki Asuna.

Yuna: Nice to meet you, I'm Shigemura Yuna.

Asuna: Yuna, as in the singer?!

Asuna's statement gets the attention of her two friends, along with the blonde-haired boy's. As everyone gets acquainted with Yuna, Shirowe was busy looking at something in his phone-like device.

Shirowe: 'Still no update? Damn it, we need to end this game soon, otherwise...'

Shirowe's eyes drifted towards the group of survivors that he had rescued so far.

Shirowe: 'These kids won't last long , if the game lasts any longer.'

???: Excuse me?

Shirowe: Hm?

Shirowe turns his attention to the voice calling him, as he sees the blonde-haired boy approaching him.

Shirowe: You're, Eugeo, right?

Eugeo nods to Shirowe's question, as the white bear rider puts away his device.

Shirowe: What is it? What do you need?

Eugeo: I was wondering, if you can tell us what's really going on? I mean what's this game you're constantly saying is the reason for all of this is happening?

Eugeo's words caught everyone's attention, as they focused their attention on Eugeo's conversation with Shirowe.

Shirowe: Listen kid, I know that you're all scared but trust me, it's better that none of you know.

Eugeo: But we all have a right, I mean it's basically the apocalypse and none of us know why all one section of Tokyo is suffering from it. So you could tell us what's going on!

Shirowe was hesitant, as he was left speechless by Eugeo's words.

Shirowe: Listen Eugeo, the truth is-.

???: The game's called the Desire Grand Prix......

Everyone turns their attention to the source of the new voice. They soon find Buffa lying on the roof of the door, his leg hanging over it and his sword resting on his shoulder.

Shirowe: Buffa!

Buffa: Relax, it's not like they're going to remember the truth, especially since we're on the final game now, or is it because you think knowing will endanger the extra points you've got from saving these weaklings?

Everyone on the roof had an annoyed look on their face from Buffa calling them "weakling," except for Eugeo and Shirowe. SHirowe had a guilty look on his face, as for Eugeo he was focusing more on something on what Buffa had said.

Eugeo: Extra points?

Shirowe: Buffa, that's enough!

Buffa: Yeah, the Desire Grand Prix is a death game where you put everything on the line to come out on top, and at the end you can get any wish you granted.

Eugeo: Any wish?

Buffa: Yep,It's done in several rounds, and depending on how well you do you earn points, but you can also earn bonus points from secret missions, such as saving civilians...

Buffa's words registered in everyone's heads, as a realization dawned on them. They all turned to Shirowe who looked like he was caught red-handed in doing something heinous .

Eugeo: Goutokugi-san? Is it true?

Shirowe: Listen, it's true that I get points from saving people, but I didn't-

Eugeo: You lied! You said you were helping us but you were really after all those points!

Shirowe: Eugeo!

Eugeo bolts through the door to the roof, as he runs down, leaving behind Shirowe and the others.

Buffa: Ho, that kid is going to get himself killed.

Shirowe: And it'll be your fault because of it!

Buffa: Whatever, a brat like him is perfect bait for the Jymato anyways.

Shirowe: Why you!...

Buffa: See ya!

Buffa soon leaves, leaving behind a furious Shirowe who was gritting his teeth. Everyone was left speechless over Buffa's words, however it was Asuna who decided to approach Shirowe.

Asuna: Is it true?

Shirowe: Huh?

Asuna: Is it true that you only saved us for the points?

Shirowe: I-...

Asuna: Answer honestly...

Shirowe: Honestly? Honestly... Honestly... In a former life, I was a firefighter who saved people for a living, but that's not why I joined this damn game.

Asuna: Then why is it that you joined?

Shirowe reaches for something in his pocket. He searches, till he finds what appears to be locket with the image of a young girl with blue hair.

Shirowe: My sweet Sachika...... My little Sachi......

Asuna: You're daughter?

Shirowe: Yes, she died during the SAO incident.

Hearing Shirowe talk about the "SAO" incident causes Asuna and her friends to look away, as they remember their past in SAO.

Shirowe: And ever since then, I've wished for a way to get her back. It was then when I was invited to-...

Asuna: The Desire Grand Prix, right.

Shirowe: Yes, the pure irony of it all, to get back my daughter who died in a death game is for my wish. But after learning that the Desire Grand Prix would put innocents in danger I decided to look after those who couldn't defend themselves.

Shirowe words resonated with Asuna, as she smiles at him.

Asuna: Then I suggest we search for Eugeo-san, now.

(With Ace)

Ace: Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm... Hmmm...

With Ace, the young man was humming as he sat inside an empty cafe happily mixing two cups of tea for himself. Tsumiri soon appears before, with a confused look on her face.

Tsumiri: Ace-sama, what are you doing?

Ace: Hm? Tsumiri-chan, come and join me.

Tsumiri was hesitant but eventually took the seat in front of Ace, as he handed her the extra cup he had prepared.

Tsumiri: I thank you for preparing an extra cup for me, but I must ask what are you doing? You are currently in last place, but you aren't doing anything to change that. You protecting the civilian you were with earlier, only earned you a few points.

Ace: Oh, it's nice that you were Tsumiri-chan, does that mean you like me?

Tsumiri blushes at Ace's words, however she soon coughs, recomposing herself before turning serious at Ace.

Tsumiri: Ace-sama, be serious about this.

Ace: I am, and you don't need to fury. I have a much bigger target set.

Tsumiri: Are you talking about the boss? I hope you know that this is a final round boss, one much stronger than many others.

Ace: Yeah, I know, but that's why I'd make sure I have a trump card in place.

Ace smirks as he takes out a big red Raise Buckle that had a black motorcycle handle attached to it. He enjoys his tea till he notices movement behind the counter of the cafe.

Ace: You can stop hiding now, you two!

???1/???2: EEP!

(WIth Eugeo)

Eugeo: Pant... Pant... Pant... I can't trust any of those masked guys, I need to find Alice and Selka, before something happens to them.

???: Jyamar!

Eugeo: Huh?

Eugeo could hear a group of Jyamato coming closer to his location. He quickly hid behind a wall and waited for the group to pass by. He gulps nervously as he watches the group of Jyamatos pass by.

As soon as the group of kimono-wearing monsters leave the area, the blonde-haired boy lets out a sigh of relief.

Eugeo: Thank goodness, looks like they're gone now.

Eugeo gets out of his hiding spot. He soon turns to leave, only to be met with a surprise as he comes face-to-face with another Jyamato.

Eugeo: WAH!

Eugeo drops to the ground, scared, as his outburst attracts the attention of the Jyamato once more. Soon, the Jyamato surrounded the scared blonde boy as they pointed their weapons at him.

Eugeo: 'Is this the end?'

Arrows, made up of green energy, were suddenly fired at the Jyamtos. The Kimono-wearing monsters staggered back as Shirowe suddenly arrived and began fighting off the monsters. He pushes the Jyamatos back, as he turns to Eugeo.

Shirowe: Eugeo, are you okay?

Eugeo: Ye-yeah...

Shirowe: Good, come with me.

Shirowe soon takes Eugeo away from the area, as the Jyamatos soon recover from Shirowe's attack on them.

(Later)

After their escape from the group of Jyamatos that attacked Eugeo, both Shirowe and Eugeo find themselves at the base of the building where Shirowe had gathered the group of refugees he had gathered.

Asuna: It's Eugeo and Goutokuji-san!

Silica: Goutokuji-san brought him back!

Lizbet: Alright!

As the three girls celebrated, Yuna noticed that the dark-haired girl with them was looking out in the city.

Yuna: Is something wrong, Shino-san?

Shino: There's something wrong, I can feel it in the air.

With the two below, they needed to catch their breath, as they recovered from all the running they had done.

Shirowe: Man, I'm getting too old for all this running. I need to find a different hobby than this game. Hey, listen, it's true that I may get points by saving you guys, and that I'm only in this game to have my wish granted. To have my daughter back.

Eugeo: You're daughter?

Shirowe: Yes, I lost her during the SAO incident. She and her friends wanted to play that damn game, I still remembered the day she got it and logged in. What would I give to see my daughter smile again.

Eugeo listens to SHirowe's heartfelt words, a tinge of guilt washed over him.

Shirowe: Of course you wouldn't, I'm just a fireman who took part in a death game to bring back his daughter.

???: Enough with your sob story already. You just wanted more points, and saving a small crowd is worth a bunch!

Buffa suddenly appears behind them, putting both Eugeo and SHirowe on edge.

Eugeo: It's him....

Shirowe: Buffa, what do you want?

Buffa: Looks like I was right, the kid was good bait.

The purple-bull themed rider walks past them as they could see a large horde of Jyamato's walking towards them.

Eugeo: What the-?!

Buffa: What's with all these Jymatos?!

RUMBLE.....

The ground began to shake, surprising Eugeo however both Shirowe and Buffa knew what was causing the ground to shake.

Eugeo: What's going on?

Shirowe: It's here...

Eugeo: What's here?

Large tendrils began to spring out from the ground, as nearby the ground surrounding an old japanese castle began to crack.

The ground of a nearby Japanese castle begins to crack. Large tendrils began to spread out, covering the city with them. They continue to spread throughout the city, as more and more tentacles appear.

With Buffa and Shirowe, the two were fighting off hordes of Jyamato as more and more continued to spawn. Shirowe had prioritized more on protecting Eugeo, as Buffa focused on taking down more and more Jyamatos.

Shirowe: Damn it! Eugeo, take cover!

Eugeo hides behind a wall as Shirowe holds off any Jyamato that attempts to target the young boy.

(With Ace)

???1/???2: EEP!

Two girls came out. Both had blonde hair, however one had a darker shade as the other had a more brighter shade. The one with the brighter shade of hair, had seemed to be the older of the two as the two girls looked to be sisters.

Ace: Well, isn't this a surprise...

Tsumiri: I didn't notice them...

The older of the two girls had stepped forward as she had her arm held up in front of the younger one, in a defensive manner. She looked wary of both Ace and Tsumiri, as she glared at the two.

???1: Selka, stand behind me.

Selka: You got it, Onee-chan.

Ace: Hey, there's no need for you to be so wary of us. Me and Tsumiri-chan are completely harmless.

???1: If that's the case then tell us the truth. You and that girl talked as if what's happening is some form of game...

Ace sees the intense glare the girl had at him and Tsumiri. He smiles seeing the intense glare.

Ace: Then how about this you tell us your name first before we tell you how about you tell us your names first...

The two girls glanced at each other, unsure of what their next course of action should be. A silent exchange occurred between the girls through their eyes.

???1: Fine....

Selka: I'm Selka...

Alice: And I'm her older sister, Alice...

Ace: Nice, well then as promised-.

Just as Ace was about to begin speaking Tsumiri's tablet begins to flash. This catches everyone's attention as Tsumiri begins to examine her tablet.

Ace: What's wrong, Tsumiri?

Tsumiri: This is terrible...

Soon Tsumiri brings a large screen that appeared before them, surprising both Alice and Selka. The screen showed a quick glance at the current rankings showing that Ace was in third place, before showing footage of both Shirowe's and Buffa's current whereabouts.

In the video both Selka and Eugeo had immediately recognized some they knew.

Alice/Selka: Eugeo!

Tsumiri: The boss has awakened...

(With Shirowe and Buffa)

Poison Charge!

Buffa's weapon is charged with immense energy, as he faces a horde of Jyamatos.

Tactical Break!

Buffa deals a powerful slash with his Zombie Breaker at the horde of Jyamatos. His attack wipes out the horde he was facing.

With Shirowe, he evades an attack from one of the Jyamato's and fights them off. He sees two charging at Eugeo. The polar bear-themed rider aims his bow at the Jyamatos before firing at them.

Shirowe: Eugeo, you need to evacuate somewhere safer...

Eugeo: You got it!

Eugeo comes out of his hiding spot. He makes a break for it for a safer location, however as he tries to escape a large tentacle bursts out of the ground and aims itself at Eugeo. Shirowe sees this and runs to Eugeo.

Shirowe: Eugeo, watch out!

Eugeo turns to Shirowe. He could only watch as Shirowe pushes him away. The polar bear-themed rider is soon struck down by the tentacle, as it slams him into the wall.

Eugeo: Goutokigi-san!

The tentacle slowly retracts itself to reveal the crushed Shirowe. Shirowe soon drops to the ground as he transforms back into his civilian form.

Eugeo: Goutokigi-san!

The blonde-haired boy rushes to Goutokigi's side. He soon cradles the fallen rider in his arms. Goutokigi was able to gather enough strength to open his eyes to find Eugeo cradling home.

Goutokigi: Eugeo?....

Eugeo: Don't worry I'll get you some help......

Goutokigi: No...... It's too late for me......

Eugeo: What are you talking about?! Hey, Goutokigi-san?!

Tears began to pour out of Eugeo's eyes, as he shakes Goutokogi's body. Urging the fallen rider to continue.

Eugeo: Hey, it's not over yet! Get up, you still want to see your daughter, right?

Goutokigi: Yes.... And now I will surely see her again...

Eugeo: Don't talk as if it's the end for you!

Goutokigi: I want to thank you Eugeo.... You and the others...... For allowing me to rescue you.... Allowing me to perform my duties as someone who saves people one last time.......

Goutokigi closes his eyes, causing Eugeo to cry out louder.

Eugeo: Hey, Goutokigi-san!

Mission Failed

Eugeo watched as Goutokigi's body was enveloped in a cloud of red-black static before fading into nothingness

(Opening)

https://youtu.be/xpN7rNcm5Vc

(With Ace)

Alice/Selka: Eugeo!

Ace's Group is currently watching events unfold, as they saw a tentacle aiming for Eugeo, which had caused the girls to scream. They watched as Eugeo was pushed away by Shirowe, saving the blonde-haired boy at the polar bear-themed rider's expense.

Alice could only watch as Eugeo wept for the fallen rider. She soon examines Eugeo's surroundings and notices that he was still in danger. She turns her attention to Ace, as she remembers how Tsumiri was urging Ace to fight.

Alice: Hey, your name's Ace, right?

Ace: Hm? What do you need from me?

Alice: You said you can end all of this, right?

Ace: What if I can?

Alice: Then please-!

Alice then grabs Ace by the arms as she pleads with him.

Alice: Please go save Eugeo!

Ace just stares at Alice's pleading eyes, those eyes caused a memory of someone else giving him those eyes.

(With The Girls)

Girls: Goutokigi-san!

The girls had watched everything from high above the building. They watched as Shirowe had saved Eugeo, only to be struck down by the tentacle that was aimed at the blonde-haired boy .

Unbeknownst to the girls the cracks began to appear under the building when Shirowe was slammed into it earlier. The cracks began to spread till they reached where the girls were.

Crack....

The ground the girls were on began to crumble. Both Asuna and Yuna were the only ones to notice the cracks as they pushed the others away just in time. Soon the ground below Asuna and Yuna gave in causing both girls to fall.

Asuna/Yuna: KYAAAAA!!!

Silica: Yuna-san!

Lizbeth: Asuna!

(Down Below)

Silica: Yuna-san!

Lizbeth: Asuna!

Eugeo could hear the scream coming from above him. He looks up to find rubble about to fall on him. Among the rubble he could also spot both Yuna and Asuna amongst the rubble, falling at rapid speed.

Eugeo: Yuuki-san! Shigemura-san!

Eugeo tries to position himself to catch the both of them but couldn't as the falling rubble made it difficult for him to catch them

VRRRROOOOOMMMM!!!!!

Eugeo's ears perked as he could hear a live bike engine from a distance. The sound also catches Buffa's attention as he turns to the source.

Buffa: Damn it, Geats is here....

Ace soon arrives, riding on a custom red motorcycle. He drives straight through the hordes of Jyamatos blocking him. He spots a flipped car and uses it and twists the handles of his bike. Flames spew out of Ace's bike giving him an extra boost of speed, as he drives it off the car and high into the air.

Ace catches both Yuna and Asuna into his arms, surprising the two girls at his sudden arrival. Yuna had immediately recognized their savior.

Yuna: Ace?!

Ace: Yo Yuna, can't believe you left me behind like that.

Ace soon lands his bike with both girls,safely. The girls soon get off, as Ace takes off his helmet. For a moment a flash of recognition appeared in Asuna's eyes before fading.

Yuna: Thanks for the helmet!

Ace: If you want to thank me, how about buying me lunch sometimes?...

Yuna blushes at Ace's question, however she eventually fights off the blush and gives Ace a nod.

Yuna: Alright!

Eugeo: Shigemura-san! Yuukia-san!

Everyone turned to Eugeo, who was running towards them.

Eugeo: I'm glad you're alright!

Asuna/Yuna: Eugeo!

Ace: You're Eugeo then?

Eugeo: Yeah...

Ace: Ok, then it's best that you and the girls get out of the harm's way, while I finish the game.

Eugeo: Eh? How are you going to do that?

Ace: By taking out the boss, of course...

Ace points to the sky, as he points out the large monstrous flying castle in the sky. The others looked fearful of the castle as it was the source of the tentacles that killed Got.

Eugeo: Are you seriously going to take that thing on?

Ace: Yeah....

Eugeo: You can't! It took out Goutokigi-san in one-!

Yuna: It's alright....

Eugeo was confused as he saw Yuna killing off his protest. Ace sees this and smirks.

Yuna: I think he has this...

Eugeo was about to protest again, however a group of Jyamatos had surrounded them. The group of Jyamatos were about to attack them till Ace turns to reveal the Magnum Shooter 40x in his hand. He fires at the group of the Jyamatos, holding them

Ace: You should listen to Yuna-chan. I'm not weak like Shirowe. Now back off, while I claim my prize....

Eugeo wanted to retort at Ace for disrespecting Goutokigi, however he remained silent knowing that he was powerless. He could only watch as Geats gets off his bike and walks towards the horde of Jyamato, with Buffa right in the middle.

Ace: Yo, Buffa, need any help?

Buffa slices a Jyamato in half before turning around and kicking another. He then slams his weapon at a Jymato, launching into a nearby wall. He then turns to Ace.

Buffa: As if I need any help from the likes of you-!

Buffa couldn't finish talking as he raises his sword in time to block one of the tentacles that came from the giant castle in the sky. The force from the impact was enough to send him flying away.

Ace looks up at the gigantic castle, and smirks with unwavering confidence. He takes out his Desire Driver and puts it on.

Desire Driver

Ace: So it's the Fortress Jyamato, huh? Sounds easy enough, but how about a bit of a warm up first.

Ace turns to the horde of Jyamatos in front of him. He takes out the Magnum Raise Buckle, and inserts it into his driver.

Set

The Magnum logo appears floating beside Ace. As the black-haired teen raises his arm at the horde of Jyamatos and....

Snap!

Ace: Henshin!

A bullet flies out of Ace's Desire Driver, and it flies before hitting the Magnum Logo, causing the Logo to transform into white armor, as a mechanical arm appears and grabs the armor. Ace is soon clad in a black suit, before the Armor is pulled into him, causing him to be equipped with it and a white fox mask with orange eyes.

Magnum. Ready, Fight!

Geats eyes glowed a bright orange glow, as he twirls his gun in his hand, and points it at the Jyamatos.

Geats: Now, it's time for the highlight!

(Play Trust・Last)

(Invitation, when it reaches your hands)

GEats charges at Jyamatos, as he begins to fire at them. The Jyamatos countered as they all tried to surround him. The fox-themed rider sees this, and couldn't help but laugh under his mask.

Geats: Your friends already tried this once.

(Open up the dungeon, and consider what it is you want)

Geats performed a quick spin, as he fired his gun causing all the Jyamato surrounding him to back off.

Geats charges at another Jyamato. It raises its weapon to defend itself. Geats fires at its hand causing it to drop its weapon, as Geats makes a jump. He traps the Jyamato between his legs as he fires at two more, who tried helping their comrade. He slams the trapped Jyamato to the ground.

(Once your in, no complaints, so who's gonna be the ace?)

Geats to proceed to unfold a part of his armor, to reveal a second gun attached to his arm. He stands up as he aims it at a Jyamato in front of him. He fires at the Jyamato.

Geats soon raises the arm that contained the second gun, using it to block a sword from a random Jyamato.

Geats: Nice try!

Geats points his Magnum Shooter 40x at the Jyamato and fires, driving it away.

Geats charge at the random Jyamato. The Jyamato attempts to counter, only for Geats to evade by jumping over the Jyamato. Geats spins in the air as he fires his guns at the surrounding Jyamato

(Get Ready? Shut it down, because there's no turning back)

Geats looks around to see more Jyamato spawning as they surround him. He didn't seem worried as he still has his overconfident attitude.

(The world churns in an endless spiral)

Geats fires his guns at the Jyamatos, as he begins taking them all on. Using his guns to fire at all of them.

(Beyond space and time)

The Fortress Jyamato soon has Geats in its sights as it sees Geats fighting off the other Jyamatos. It began firing beams at Geats.

(Until the day we're all set free)

Geats notices the beams the fortress Jyamato fired at him. He quickly finds cover as the beams take out the Jyamatos that had previously surrounded him. Geats eventually comes out to see the aftermath of the Fortress Jyamato's attacks.

(You want power? Or maybe diamonds?)

Geats: Whew, thanks for the assist with that. As a treat I'll take you down right now, time to change gear.....

Geats soon takes out the large red raise buckle and replaces his Magnum raise buckle with it.

Set!

Geats quickly twists the handle of the Boost Raise Buckle, causing flames to spew out of the buckle. Soon, the Boost logo appears before transforming into a red motorcycle-themed armor, with exhaust pipes attached to the arm. The Boost armor soon replaces Geats Magnum armor.

Boost.

The red motorcycle that Geats had driven earlier, soon appears beside him. He quickly gets on the bike.

Ready,

Geats twist the handles of the bike, causing its engines to ignite.

Fight!

(Love & Peace? Whatever the desire)

Geats drives his bike straight at a nearby building. He twists the handle causing the exhaust pipes to spew out flames as he jumps up, and lands his bike on the sides.

Geats begins driving up on the side of the building, as he uses the flames that spew out from his bike to propel him upward in extreme speed

(Come on! Got to go the next round)

Geats lands on the roof with his bike, as the Fortress Jyamato comes face-to-face with him.

Geats: Let's go!

Geats drives straight at the Fortress Jyamato, jumping straight off the roof.

(Be the final victor)

The Fortress Jyamato opens its mouth, and swallows the fox-themed rider, shocking everyone who was watching. Buffa, who had recovered, also witnessed all of this.

Buffa: What the hell is Geats planning?

(Stand by for your moment of glory)

Geats is now inside the Fortress Jyamato, driving his bike. He drives his bike with one arm as he raises his other.

Geats: Don't count me out yet.

(No matter what drama you brought with you)

Geats twisted the handle of his bike as flames began spewing out from the exhaust points from both his bike and other arm. He rockets through the insides of the beast, as he smashes through anything inside

(Trust・Last)

Outside, everyone watched as an explosion occurred from within the Fortress Jyamato. Creating an opening for Geats to jump through, as he lands on the ground with his bike. He makes a turn to face the Fortress Jyamato, that's still standing.

(Because if they shake you off, you drop out)

Geats: It's time to end this!

Geats takes out the Magnum Raise Buckle, and sets it on the other slot in his driver.

Set

Geats gets off his bike for a moment as he activates the Magnum Raise Buckle.

Dual On! Get ready for Boost & Magnum!

Geats is soon equipped with the Magnum armor as his lower armor, with the Magnum Shooter 40x attached to his hip.

Ready, fight!

Geats: Now for something amazing!

(Whoa)

Geats presses a button on his Desire Driver, allowing him to spin 180 degrees.

Revolve On!

(No matter who you end up hurting)

Everyone was surprised as Geats floated above the ground, as an amalgamation appeared surrounding Geats. He too was span 180 degrees, and to every civilian's shock, his head was detached from his body as his armor shifted causing the Boost armor to be the lower half and the Magnum armor to be the top.

(Or getting hurt by, there's no quitting this game)

Geats is soon dropped to the ground now in his MagnumBoost form.

Geats: Sorry, Buffa but this is my win

Besides Geats the headlights on his bike began flashing. The fox-themed rider soon gets on his bike, as he uses the flames from the bike's exhaust ports to propel high into the air.

(Trust・Last)

Geats then activates the triggers for both of Raise Buckles, causing his driver to glow.

(So let's stroke the flame of desire in your heart (Go for the win))

Geats propelled himself and his bike high in the air, above the Fortress Jyamato. He soon jumps off his bike, allowing it to transform into a robotic red fox, and lands right on it.

Boost Time!

Geats faces the nearly-destroyed Fortress Jyamato, as he twists the handle on his Boost Raise Buckle once more.

MagnumBoost Grand Victory

Flames surround Geats and red fox as he jumps off the fox, and aims his foot at the Fortress Jyamato, with the fox right behind him.

For a moment the fox and Geats had merged, as it propelled faster. He crashes straight through the Fortress Jyamato.

(Decieve to win, see how it goes)

Geats lands on the ground, as the Fortress Jyamato explodes behind him. Eugeo, Asuna, and Yuna ran to Geats. TheFox-themed rider turns to face the.

(Maybe join hands, and then betray)

Everyone remained silent not knowing what to say to the fox-themed rider till Eugeo spoke up.

Eugeo: Th-Thank you for helping us-.....

Geats: I didn't fight to help you. Unlike Shirowe I only saved you guys for the extra points....

Everyone was silenced by Geats' words. As the looked at the fox-themed rider in fear

Ace: And also you guys should probably duck.....

This question got everyone out of their fearful state as they looked at fox-themed riders in confusion.

Beep... Beep... Beep...

Flames spew out of the Boost Raise Buckle, as it rockets out of Geats's Desire Driver. The others ducked, narrowly avoiding as the Boost Raise Buckle rockets away never to be seen.

Asuna: Well, that was something...

Crash!

Yuna: Kya!

(But never surrender your hopes and dreams)

Eugeo WHat's going on?!

Everyone looked around to see the world crumbling around them. As particles of lights began to float from the ground.

Geats: My new world is being born....

That was all they could hear as everything fades to white

(And when you've come out on top in the chase for dreams)

(New World)

The streets of Tokyo were bustling as everyone was having a normal day. Yuna was running away from her guard, Asuna was spending time with her friends, Eugeo is with both Alice and Selka, enjoying the sights of Tokyo, and Buffa, in his normal human form was walking around a college.

(Tell me, what will you find?)

Step... Step... Step... Step... Step...

Within a large prison, steps echoed throughout the prison where a certain man is imprisoned. He looked up once he heard that the steps ended in front of his cell. He finds Ace standing there with two guards.

Ace: I hope you don't mind us talking...... Akihiko Kayaba....

Yuna: Kya!

The world began to crumble, as the rubble began to turn into particles of light that floated inyo the sky. As everyone begins to panic, Geats looks up in the sky, not paying attention to the crumbling world around him.

Geats: Let my new world begin!

Everything faded into white.

Beep... Beep... Beep...

Ace slowly opens his eyes to the sounds of his alarms.

Ace: Yawn...

Ace sits up in his bed, to find himself inside a small apartment. It was small as it only contained a closet for him to keep his clothes, a small fridge, a sink, a bathroom, a small television, and his bed.

Ace stretches his arms as he lets out a long yawn as he gets off his bed.

Ace: You here to accept the invitation to a date, or you were hoping I was at least half-naked, Tsumiri?

Tsumiri: You know why I am here!

Ace glances to find Tsumiri, with a small blush on the girl's face. He smirks knowing how he got under the girl's skin.

(Opening)

https://youtu.be/xpN7rNcm5Vc

Tsmuriri turns serious as she pushes away her blush, as she presents Ace a black and yellow box. He smiles knowing what it was. He opens it, revealing his Desire Driver and the Geats Core ID.

Tsumiri: sigh... I'm still surprised, despite winning the last few Desire Grand Prix in a row you still choose to live in this apartment.

Ace: Its not like I need a fancy home. Not with my plans, an easily disposable apartment is the only thing I need.

Tsumiri: And what exactly are your plans?

Tsumiri has narrowed her eyes on Ace, as Ace walks over to pick up the

Ace: Sorry, that's for me to know and for you to find out.

Ace gives her a wink as he begins to undress, causing Tsumri to blush once more seeing Ace undress. She quickly turns around to hide her blush, fuming at Ace.

Tsumiri: What is wrong with you?! Why are you undressing?!

Ace: Isn't it obvious? I have to change into my uniform.

Tsumuri: Why are you changing in front of me?

Ace: Its my apartment and I thought I'd give you a show.

Tsumuri: Hentai!

(Later)

Ace: Why are you following me? I thought you would be handing out other invitations by now.

Tsumuri: Unfortunately, the next Desire Grand Prix is still being prepared. And you were already a chosen player.

Ace is now dressed in his uniform, with Tsumuri walking beside him wearing a female version of his uniform, walking side-by-side on the sidewalk.

Ace: So you guys thought for safety reasons I should have my driver already?

Tsumuri: It's so I don't have to deal with you later.

Ace: You hurt my heart, Tsumuri-chan....

Tsumuri: That was my intention.

Ace: But that still doesn't explain why you're following me.

Tsumuri: Despite you being given the privilege of receiving your driver early, you still need to be monitored in case you misuse your powers.

Ace: Hmmm... It looks like management doesn't fully trust me.

Tsumuri: Of course they don't. How could anyone trust a fox like you?

Ace: You do have a point.

Ace gives Tsumuri a sly smile as they proceed to make their way to Ace's school. The duo soon arrive to the front of Ace's school.

Ace: Here we are. The SAO Survivors school......

Tsumuri stares, not showing any reaction as she watches Ace enter the school grounds. She soon follows behind him.

???1: Watch out!

???2/3: Young miss!

A familiar voice catches Ace and Tsumuri's attention. They turn to find Yuna, wearing the same uniform as Tsumuri, as she runs away from her guards.

Dust kicked up as Yuna and her guards ran past Ace. The dust soon settled revealing that Yuna had disappeared from the guards' view.

The guards, realizing that Yuna had disappeared, began to frantically search for the white-haired girl.

Guard 1: Where did she go?

Guard 2: You two kids, have you seen where the young miss went?

Ace: If you're talking about that white-haired girl then she want that way.

Guard 1: Thanks kid!

Ace had pointed out a random direction to the guards. The two followed Ace's instructions, as they left Ace and Tsumuri alone in search of Yuna.

Ace watches as he sees the guards' figures soon disappear from his line of sight, as they frantically search for Yuna.

Ace: They're gone now...

Yuna soon pops out of the bushes behind Ace and Tsumuri, surprising the girl but not Ace.

Yuna: Thanks for the save.

Ace: Not a problem. You're, Shigemura Yuna, right? The famous content creator?

Yuna: Yep that's me! And thanks again for covering for me. I'll see you guys around.

Yuna soon leaves the two by themselves as they watched her entering the school.

Ace: Gotta say, I wasn't expecting to see her here.

Tsumuri: I feel this will be a venture.

Ace: By the way, how did you get a uniform from our school? Are you enrolled in the school or something?

Tsumuri: That's for me to know, and for you to find out.

Ace: Hey, that's my line!

Tsumuri: Turnabout is fair play, Ace-sama.

The two soon entered the school, as they begin their school day.

(Later)

Ace: Yawn...... Lunch time already?

Ace and Tsumuri were both in the same class as they had finished the first half of their school day. He looks around in their classroom as he takes note of all the students in the school.

Ace: Is it me or are there more students than before?

Tsumuri: That may be due to your wish.

Ace stares at a small group of five students, who were having fun and chatting amongst each other.

Tsumuri: To wish for all those that had perished back from the dead and no one realizing it was a tough wish to grant.

Ace: But not an impossible wish for the God of Desires, right?

Tsumuri: Yes, although your wish was difficult to grant nonetheless. Why did you wish for their reaction?

Ace: Hmmm....

Tsumuri: Let me guess, I'll have to find out for myself.

Yuna: Hiya Ace! Tsumuri

Yuna soon joins, as she takes her seat beside Yuna. Ace soon notices the sunglasses and cap she was wearing.

Ace: What's with the outfit, Yuna-?

Yuna: Shhhh! I don't want to be found.

Yuna points out to the several students that were here, and on their phones.

Yuna: I was finally able to sneak into school without my dad stopping me.

Unbeknownst to the trio, a strange orb was monitoring them. They scattered amongst themselves as the orb closely observes them.

(Elsewhere)

In another part of the world, in an isolated room a masked man watches Ace and Tsumuri through the orb that was spying on them.

Masked Man: Geats... Just who are you?

The lights behind him lit up to reveal a list of people, including Ace and Yuna's names.

(With Ace)

Yuna, Tsumuri and Ace are all currently in class. Unbeknownst to Yuna, both Ace and Tsumuri were closely observing one another.

Ace: 'Tsumuri, she's been the navigator for the players since my first Desire Grand Prix. She's usually distant with players, so for her to come with to my school must mean that I'm getting on some people's nerves.'

Tsumuri: 'Ukiyo Eisuke, otherwise known as "Ace," he's been the God of Desire ever since his first appearance in the Desire Grand Prix. There isn't much information that could be searched about him, except that he attends the SAO survivor school.'

The day went on as normal, as the two watched each other like a hawk. The school day soon ended, as the two were about to leave.

Yuna: Hey Tsumuri-chan, want to hang out for a bit?

Tsumuri: My apologies, but I have other matters I must currently attend.

Ace: It'll be alright Tsumuri-chan, you should go with her and have some fun.

Tsumuri: You know that I must stick with you no matter what.

Ace: I guess you leave me with no other choice.

Tsumuri/Yuna: Huh?

Ace: Is that Shigemura Yuna the famous singer!

Students: Huh?

All the students turned to Yuna, who was frozen in place.

Yuna: Eh?!

It took a moment 'for the students to recognize Yuna. Soon they begin to crowd the poor girl, alongside Tsumuri preventing any escape she may have.

Student 1: No way, you are Yuna-chan!

Student 2: Yuna-chan, I love you!

Student 3: I'm a huge fan!

Student 4: What are you doing here?

Student 5: Does this mean you were an SAO survivor?

Yuna: What the hell, Ace?!

Hearing no response from the boy, both Yuna and Tsumuri looked around to find that Ace was nowhere to be seen.

Yuna: Eh?! He disappeared!

Tsumuri: This was his plan all along!

Amongst the commotion even the orb that was spying on the earlier had lost track of the sly fox.

Outside, Ace is already outside as he glances at the entrance of the classroom where he had left Yuna and Tsumuri to the mercy of Yuna's adoring friends.

Ace: Sorry that I had to use you as a distraction, Yuna but can't get Tsumuri and the other guy catch wind of my plans.

Ace takes out his Core ID, and looks at it before gripping it tightly in his hand.

Ace: I've already made my decision a long time ago.

(Later)

Guard: You sure you want to do this kid?

Ace was now in a prison, being accompanied by a prison guard. Their steps echoed throughout the prison as they made way to their destination.

Ace: Yeah, I have something I need to do and this man is the only one who can help me.

Guard: Can't see how a man on death's row can you but oh welll.

The two soon arrive at a maximum secured door. The guard performed several scans first to prove his identity before opening the door to the cell.

Guard: You only got 30 minutes with the guy.

Ace: You got it.

Ace enters the cell alone where he is met with a man hated by the world.

Ace: Nice to see you again, Akihiko Kayaba.

Akihiko Kayaba was sitting on a bench behind a pane of impenetrable glass. Kayaba is alerted by Ace's presence from the boy's call.

Kayaba: Have we met before? You seem familiar.

Ace: I guess you could say that.

Ace places his hands in his pockets as he cooly walks up to the glass,separating him from Kayaba

Ace: I am the reason why you are alive right now.

Kayaba: I see, you're the winner of the latest Desire Grand Prix.

Ace: Among others...

Kayaba: Well what can I help you with? I'm assuming that you needed something from me.

Ace: Yeah., I need you to tell me everything and I mean everything about-.

(Later)

Ace had finished asking all the questions he needed to Ask Kayaba. After going through all the questions Ace wanted to ask, the young boy turns to leave.

Kayaba: Is that all you needed?

Ace: Yeah, it may not be much but its better than I could ask.

Kayabba: I must warn you though, whatever it is your planning to learn this much is asking for trouble with-.

Ace: Yeah... Yeah. I know, whatever it takes to accomplish my goals.

Ace gives Kayba a confident smile, as Kayaba was left speechless at the young teen's confidence.

Ring... Ring... Ring...

Ace: Huh?

Alarms began to ring throughout the prison. The guard that had let Ace in earlier rushes into the jail cell.

Ace: What's going on?

Guard: We've got a problem, monsters are attacking.

Ace: Huh?

Ace drags the guard in, as take a peek through the door and finds a bunch of Jyamato rampaging throughout the prison.

Ace: Jyamatos? What are they doing here?

Kayaba: They've come for me.

Ace: Sounds like you were messing with the wrong people.

Ace takes out his Desire Driver, which surprises Kayaba.

Kayaba: You still have your Desire Driver?

Ace: Yeah, I'm a special kind of player.

Kayaba: Then take this with you.

Ace turns to Kayaba as he finds the man dropping inside the gap that allows food and items to be transferred to him.

Ace runs over and picks up the item, and was surprised at what had found.

Ace: How'd you get these?

Ace was holding up several Raise Buckles, as Kayaba responds only with a smile.

Kayaba: I'm a special exception, like you.

Ace: Yeah...

Ace was suspicious of Kayaba, however he puts his suspicions aside as he puts on his Desire Driver.

Desire Driver!

Guard: What the hell are you doing?

Ace: Why don't you stay inside and watch.

Guard: Wha- Hey!

Ace pushes the guard inside, as he locks the cell from the outside. The guard could be heard banging from the otherside.

Guard: Hey! Let me out!

Ace: Sorry, no can do.

Ace takes out one of the Raise Buckles that Kayaba had gifted him. It was a large Raise Buckle that resembled a sheath sword, with the handle as the activation lever.

Ace sets the Raise Buckle into his driver, causing the word "Dark Kenshi" to appear next to him.

Set!

Ace: Henshin!

Ace pulls the handle on his Raise Buckle, causing a blade to appear that cuts the words beside him into pieces. Ace is soon transformed into his entry form, as the pieces soon turn into armor pieces that fly on top of him,. The blade appears in Geats hand, as his eyes were now a dark-gray hue.

Dark Kenshi. Ready, Fight!

Geats: Now, time for the highlight!

Geats new Dark Kenshi form's armor looked like a dark version of his Magnum Armor, without the the gun features of Magnum.

Geats readies his sword, as he charges at the Jyamatos. The Jyamatos were different from the ones that Geats had faced before as several were dressed as knights, some wielded shields and others swords.

Geats: It seems like a new game has started.

Geats charges at the Jyamatos as he slashes at a horde that charges at him. A Jyamato was about to attack Geats from behind, however Geats responds by ducking allowing the Jyamato's attacks to hit its allies.

Geats turns around, as swings his blade upwards at the Jyamato that tried attacking him. The attack causes the Jyamato to be thrown at a group of Jyamato. Geats releases a single slash with his sword that wipes them out.

Geats's fight leads him on a railing as he is surrounded on both sides by Jyamato. He blocks a hit from one of them before jumping off the railings.

Geats lands safely on the ground, as he takes his Dark Kenshi Raise Buckle and inserts into a slot in his sword.

Full Charge! Tactical Strike!

Geats releases an attack that destroys the railing that the Jyamato were on, causing them and the railing to crash down on the ground.

Geats looks around to find that more Jyamato had spawned in, ready to fight him.

Geats: Seriously? How much more are there?

Geats deliver a slash at one of the Jyamato, before evading another one's attack and slashing it as well.

Geats: Maybe if I knew what kind of game this is.

As Geats continued fighting off the Jyamatos an orb, similar to the one that was spying on Ace earlier, is now watching Geats as he fight off the Jyamato.

(Elsewhere)

Through the live feed the orb was feeding to the masked man's holographic screen he watches as Geats fights off the Jyamato that were in the prison with him.

Masked Man: Geats? He's already in the game area?

The masked man watches as Geats deals

With the wave from his hand another screen appeared, showing Tsumuri's face on the other end of the call.

Tsumuri: What is it, Game Master?

Game Master: You can begin the game now.

Tsumuri: But we still haven't located Ace-sama.

Game Master: Don't worry, I've already found him.

(With Geats)

Geats was about to strike down another Jyamato before he suddenly disappeared into multiple blue pixels. Geats soon finds himself transformed back to normal, in a large crowd of people.

Ace: Huh?

Ace examines his surroundings as he finds a place somewhere familiar. He soon finds Tsumuri infront of all of them.

Ace: So I guess it's already started.

Tsumuri was showing a bright smile towards them.

Tsumuri: Welcome to the Desire Grand Prix!

(A/N: Here's the new chapter for Geats. I made a new sword based form for Geats, because I wanted to and I thought the concept was intriguing to say the least. This new Dark Kenshi form uses the smae X Raising Sword Cross Geats had used, but this time its all black, with orange outlines.)

(Days Ago)

???: World Peace, huh?

Eugeo was sitting in the office of his school's guidance councilor as said councilor read what Eugeo had written.

Councilor: I'll say this, you're very ambitious but you got to make your dreams more realistic, Eugeo.

Eugeo flinches as he hears the thud from when the councilor had thrown his paper on his desk.

Councilor: Listen, I understand that your experience in SAO may have changed you but that doesn't mean you can't ignore the real world.

Eugeo: Yes......

Councilor: Listen, if you really want to pursue this kind of dream then I suggest you study up to become a politician or something, but you've got to remember this isn't the virtual world anymore.

(Opening)

https://youtu.be/xpN7rNcm5Vc

(Later)

Eugeo: What do I do now?

After leaving the councilor's office, a depressed Eugeo exits the SAO survivor school as walks in an unknown direction.

Brrt... Brrt... Brrt... Brrt...

An alert from Eugeo's phone catches his attention. He takes it out to find the call was from someone he knew.

Eugeo: Huh? Selka?

Eugeo promptly answers the call as he places his phone next to his ear.

Eugeo: Hello?

Selka: Eugeo-nii, where are you? You were supposed to meet us for lunch minutes ago.

Eugeo blinked for a few minutes as a memory hit his head. He slaps his forehead, as he remembered.

Eugeo: That's right!

Selka: So you did forget?! I owe Nee-san some yen.

Eugeo: Sorry, I got held up with my meeting with the councilor.

Selka: Were you in trouble?

Eugeo: No, sensei just wanted-.

Selka: Then no excuses! Come here right this moment.

The call hangs up, as Eugeo lets out an exasperated sigh.

Eugeo: I'm in trouble now- Huh?

As Eugeo puts away his phone he notices a shift in the city's atmosphere. He was surprised as a wall made up of red energy began to surround the city.

Eugeo: What the hell is going on?!

Eugeo examines his surroundings as he sees the walls holding, as the crowd panic and run. Eugeo was going to run in the same direction till he remembered Selka and Alice who were supposedly waiting for him.

Eugeo: Alice! Selka!

Eugeo rushes to the direction where the girls were.

???: No!

Eugeo was stopped as he spies a man falling on the ground. He was about to go help him till the Jyamato came and killed him. Eugeo trips as he watches in horror seeing the Jyamato kill the man.

Eugeo attempted to back away from the horror in front of him.

Snap!

Unfortunately for Eugeo as he was backing away he had snapped a twig in the process. The snap catches the Jyamato's attention as they focus on Eugeo. They were about to approach the blonde-haired boy till they were stopped by Shirowe and his bow.

Shirowe arrives on the scene and fights off the Jyamato. He kicks one away as he uses his bow to destroy the others, with the one that was kicked away running.

Shirowe: You're not going anywhere.

Armed Arrow Strike

Shirowe fires an arrow that shoots down the retreating Jyamato in one fell swoop.

Eugeo: A-Amaxing....

Shirowe: You alright?

Eugeo looks up to find Shirowe offering his hand to the fallen teen

(Present)

Councilor: How about it, Eugeo? Did you give any thoughts about your future?

Eugeo was once more sitting in the office of the school councilor as he reviewed

Eugeo: Sorry sensei but no.

Councilor: If you really want world peace then I suggest majoring in something related to politics.

Eugeo: Sorry, but I don't think that's what I want.

Councilor: Then what is it you want? Eugeo? Even my daughter has been able to decide on an ice cream flavor faster than you.

The councilor sees Eugeo's conflicted expression, and sees that the young man is having a hard time deciding on his future. The councillor releases a sigh as he writes down on a note.

Councilor: Listen, Eugeo I like you kid but you need to get your head straight in the game. Find a dream, and find something to be passionate about.

The councilor writes something on a piece of paper before handing it to Eugeo.

Councilor: I want to meet with you more regularly. Reports on your thoughts over what I had said. My main goal is to help you, SAO survivors, like my daughter, to survive returning to this world and moving on with your lives.

(Later)

Eugeo: What am I going to do now?

Eugeo walks out of the school as he passes by Tsumiri, who holds a yellow box in her hands.

Tsumiri: Congratulations!

Eugeo was caught off guard as Tsumiri suddenly appeared in front of him. She holds the box out for Eugeo to take.

Eugeo: I-Is this for me?

Tsumiri: Hai! You have been selected as a contestant for the Desire Grand Prix. Everything you need to know and have is inside.

Eugeo opens the box he took from Tsumiri, and inside was an augma, Desire Driver, and a green Core ID, with an image of a racoon on it. The blonde-haired boy puts on the augma first, interested in its purpose.

Eugeo: What is this? Some sort of headset?

After putting on the augma, Eugeo focuses on the other content of the box, as his finger grazes the Core ID. He could feel the pain in his head as the memories of what had happened before enter his mind and his augma starts up as a message box appears in front of him.

Welcome, Tycoon!

Eugeo: WHAAaaaa...

In a flash of light, Eugeo had vanished, leaving no trace of the blonde-haired boy.

(Days Ago)

Yuna: And I told you that I don't want to be kept locked up here forever, waiting for you and mom to set me up with someone.

Yuna's Father: Yuna, wait!

Yuna had suddenly barged out of her house as she ran away, with carry-on in hand. She ran as fast as she could but was stopped as two men in suits stopped her.

Suit 1: Yuna-ojousama, please return now. Your father and mother are worried about you.

Yuna: No way! I refuse to be locked any longer. I survived SAO for a reason and I want to live with my life!

Yuna throws her carry-on at the two suits. The carry-on topples the two suits giving Yuna the opportunity to run away from the two

Suit 1/2: Ojou-sama? Ojou-sama!

Yuna kept on running till she was able to get to a far away location from her home. She looked around and recognized the area.

Yuna: I ran all the way to Saitama.

Yuna looked down at her feet as she began walking normally. She had a cute pout on her face as she walked.

Yuna: Geez, ever since I woke up from SAO my father has been overprotective. I don't get to go out anymore!

???: WAHHHHH!!! PAPA!

A young girl's cries catches Yuna's attention. She turns to the source to find that a young girl had tripped and scrapped her knee.

The girl's father rushes to her side. He helps the girl up and dusts her off.

Girl's Father: There, all better.

Girl: Wah, papa......

Girl's Father: Hey, please stop crying. I'll tell you what. If you stop crying we'll go get some ice cream.

Girl: sniff...... Really?

Girl's Father: Yeah, sure. You can have any flavor you want.

Girl: Really then? Let's go!

The girl had urged her father to follow her as she went ahead of him. He smiles at her daughter as he shakes his head.

Girl's Father: Sometimes I feel like she only cries because she knows she can get anything she wants from me.

Yuna had watched everything with a sad smile on her face. She thinks back to when she was a child. She had been crying and her father had taken her out for ice cream to cheer her up.

Yuna: 'Everything is so different now.'

Yuna misses those times with her family, however ever since her return from SAO her father had become more overprotective. He had begun forbidding her from going out, even stopping her from attending the survivor's school and having her home-schooled.

Yuna: Why can't things go back to how it used to be?

Yuna looks up in the sky, wishing for everything to go back to normal.

Suit 1: There she is! Ojousama!

Yuna turns to the suits that were stopping her earlier. She cringes seeing them approaching her.

Yuna: Crap! How'd they find me so fast?

Yuna runs as fast as she could before the two men in the suits could catch her. The trio played the game of cat and mouse for a while till Yuna finally lost them by hiding in a bush.

Yuna: sigh... I finally lost them.

Ace: What are you doing?

Yuna: Huh?

Yuna looks and finds Ace looking down at her in a fateful encounter.

(Present, Minutes Earlier)

Yuna: Where did Ace go?

Yuna and Tsumiri had finally escaped Yuna's adoring fans that Ace had released on to them. Ace's actions ignited a fury in both Tsumiri and Yuna.

Yuna: Just you wait Ace, I'll get you for what you did.

Tsumiri: 'Ace-sama, I hope for your sake you don't encounter her in the grand prix.'

Yuna: So, Tsumiri-chan, what are you going to do now?

Tsumiri: Huh?

Yuna: I've got nothing else to do today, unless my guards find me again-.

???: Ojousama!

Yuna: Damn it. Ben and John already found me.

Yuna turns to find the same suits as before spotting her.

Ben: Ojousama, please come back!

Yuna: Never! C'mon Tsumiri-chan!

Tsumiri: Huh?

Tsumiri wasn't given enough time to process everything as she was dragged by Yuna, by the hand, away from the area.

The two had ran for a while until they had lost both suits. The two were out of breath from how much they were running.

Tsumiri: pant... Just... pant... who... pant... were those two?

Yuna: Sorry... pant... about... pant... that... pant... They're my bodyguards. My father hired them to bring me back whenever I ran away from home.

Tsumiri: Bodyguard? Are you perhaps a-?

???: Tsumiri, it is time......

An eerie voice echoed in the alley as the girls turned to the source of the voice. It was a masked man, a cloak covering any other features the man may have.

Masked Man: Tsumiri, it is time......

The masked man holds out a familiar yellow box for Tsumiri. He holds it out for Tsumiri.

Masked Man: The next grand prix awaits. Time to fulfill your duties as a navigator.

Tsumiri: Yes...

Yuna was confused at the exchange happening in front of her. Her eyes widened as she saw Tsumiri's clothes changed with a bright flash as she the navigator dons her appropriate black and white attire.

Yuna soon recognizes a device that Tsumiri had taken out as the navigator puts it on her head.

Yuna: 'An augma? But those are still in the testing phase.'

In Tsumiri's point of view, her augma activates as it shows a list of names. Two of whom she had recognized.

Tsumiri: 'Ace is still in the grand prix as always, and...... Yuna's also a contestant.'

Tsumiri was shocked as she turned to Yuna. Yuna became nervous, seeing Tsumiri's shocked gaze landing on her.

Tsumiri takes the yellow box in the masked man's hands and presents it to Yuna.

Tsumiri: Congratulations, Yuna-sama, you have been chosen for the Desire Grand Prix.

The white-haired girl was confused as she flinched for a moment before taking the box from Tsumiri's hands. She opens it, and inside the box contains an augma, a Desire Driver and a black Core ID, with the symbol resembling a cat's head.

Yuna: What is this-?

Yuna had grazed the Core ID causing the memories of the previous Desire Grand Prix to be flushed into her mind.

Yuna: Wha-!

Yuna turns to Tsumiri and the masked man, however the two had long since vanished.

Yuna: Where did they-?

Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep... Beep...

The beeping sounds from her augma catches her attention. She picks it up and examines it.

Yuna: Is definitely the augma that dad's been working on. If I remember correctly, it's like a headset.

Yuna puts on the augma, causing the device interface to open and appear in Yuna's eyes. She was surprised, as soon a message box popped out in front of her.

Welcome, Na-go!

Yuna: What is this? Who's "Na-go"- KYA!

Before Yuna could finish her sentence, she had vanished in a flash of light. As the light died, no one was let in the alleyway as Yuna had mysteriously vanished.

(Elsewhere)

On a floating platform whose surroundings seemed like a desert, Yuna, Eugeo, Geats, and several other people appeared out of thin air. Among those people was also the true identity of Kamen RIder Buffa. Many were confused as they had suddenly been transported on the platform.

Yuna: Where are we?

Eugeo: Are we in the desert?

Geats: Well, isn't this a fun surprise?

Everyone's gaze landed on Geats, many were at awe at the armored man in front of them, however there were few that would recognize the white fox mask and the person behind it.

Eugeo: You?

Yuna: Ace?

Buffa???: Geats....
