My eyes opened and I stood up in my bed. I oddly felt better almost unnaturally. I got up seeing Liena, Ronie, and Sinon all conversing with one another.

Sinon: Oh Mav, you're up.

Mav: Yup, what're you ladies up to?

Liena: We're having breakfast.

Mav: Looks like I'm joining in then. Ya boy is starving.

I plopped down next to everyone and began to eat.

Ronie: You're looking better Mav!

Mav: Thanks, I'm feeling better.

Sinon: I'm not surprised. When you have three beauties sleeping next to you, who wouldn't?

Mav: You're right. Maybe next time we can share a bed?

Ronie: M-Mav?!

Liena: Oh....I wouldn't be opposed.

Sinon: I'm down.

Ronie: You guys?!

Mav: Heh, aren't you just innocent.

Ronie: I am not!

The flaps to my tent opened showing Kirito in his armor.

Kirito: Yo, Bercouli spotted enemy movement in the distance. Come on.

We all hastily finished our meals and got ready as I steadily made my way over.

Bercouli: The real world people have some odd strategies. Emperor Vecta is taking a big risk.

I summoned a scope and looked into the distance seeing the enemy forces using a tight rope to crawl across the newly made ravine.

Mav: Well that gives us an good opportunity.

Bercouli: I see we're on the same page.

Mav: I'll leave the planning to you. You know these troops better than I.

Bercouli: The planning is simple. We attack the other side and cut the rope. The enemy has made a stupid mistake. Let's move.

Mav: I'll assist.

Sinon: Mav, are you sure?

Mav: Don't worry I think that weapon you made for me should do fine. Plus I already said I was feeling better. I don't have to use the cane anymore.

.......

The dark knights and pugilists were climbing across the ravine. The length and unstableness due to wind cause the rope to bounce. Some soldiers fell to their deaths into the ravine below. The pugilist leader was absolutely fuming with anger.

Vecta: Take the dark knights and pugilists and have them tightrope across the ravine. Do worry about casualties. Understood?

The pugilist leader could only watch as the dark knights and pugilists were massacred. Vecta watched from a distance narrowing his eyes.

Vecta: I see..... the human forces A.I. seem to be more adaptable than the forces of darkness. These Rath people are really going all out with this. Better not screw this up Critter.

A storm of horses flew towards the ravine as the Dark Forces noticed them.

Fighter: ENEMY ATTACK! PROTECT THE ROPE-

The fighter was silenced by a crossbow bolt lodged into his neck. Mav smirked reloading the modern crossbow Sinon made for him. As the forces charged in swiftly defeating the enemies trying to guard the ropes.

........

On the outside world, Critter was clicking away at the keyboard.

Critter: Okay! Time is now synced with the real world and now I can make the call.
