No one's POV
After Ronye was forced to bring out Nhazul by a Red Knight, PoH just smirked and looked at him, as started walking up to him. As he did, Ronye stood in front of Nhazul trying to protect him.
Ronye: No! I won't let you hurt my Senpai!
PoH just looked at her before quickly kneeing her in the stomach, before he grabbed her by the hair, throwing her back to Sinon and the others. After he did, he looked at the comatose Nhazul and started kicking his leg.
PoH: What the hell is this? Hey, Wolfie, wake the hell up. You hear me, Mr. Wolf Swordsman?
Nhazul: ...
As Nhazul remained motionless, visible tears on his face, Ronye spoke up.
Ronye: Nhazul Senpai.... He kept trying to stand, over and over, during the battle, crying the entire time...
Sinon: Ronye...
Sinon then looked at PoH furiously.
Sinon: You get it now?! He continued to fight over and over and over to the end, and now he's wounded! So leave Nhazul alone! Just let him rest!
PoH just completely ignored Sinon, looking at Nhazul irritated.
PoH: Hey, hey, hey, hey! You're kidding me, right?! This isn't any fun at all! Hey! I said wake up!
PoH then started kicking Nhzual again.
PoH: Hey! Stand up! Good morning! Wake up, you fucking Mutt!
As PoH kicked Nhazul out of his wheelchair, he fell to the ground.
Sinon: Nhazul!
As Sinon went to go and try to get to Nhazul, a Red Knight put their blade to her neck. Now on the ground, with his Night Sky Sword next to him and still holding the broken Blue Rose Sword tightly, PoH grew more irritated looking at Nhazul.
PoH: What the hell? So you're really busted? The great hero's a vegetable now?
As PoH reached down and took the Blue Rose Sword away from Nhazul and unsheathed it, he saw the blade was broken, however he looked and saw Nhazul desperately reaching for it.
Nhazul: Ah....Ah...Ah...
PoH: You moved! What, you want this? Does the Mutt want his toy?
As PoH started taunting Nhazul with the Broken Blue Rose Sword, he threw it away. As Nhazul continued to reach for it, PoH grabbed him by the arm and lifted him up, slapping his face.
PoH: Come on, say something, Mutt!
Completely and utterly furious, Strea ignored the pain from her broken leg and stood up and glared at PoH.
Strea: You bastard! Get your hands off my little brother!!!!
Suddenly, a Red Knight stabbed Strea from behind with a spear into the ground. However it didn't stop her, as she continued to crawl forward. As she did, another Red Knight stabbed her into the ground, making her cough up blood.
Silica, Lux and Lisbeth: Strea!
Despite the pain she was in, Strea then looked back at PoH.
Strea: You... You're the one...! The only one who put my brother through so much pain! Never...I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!!!!!!
As PoH just looked at Strea and smirked, held up his cleaver to Nhazul's neck, taunting them.
However, suddenly a mysterious figure rushed in, saving Nhazul, as PoH jumped back and looked at them.
PoH: Who the hell are you?
As the figure revealed themselves, those who took part in Ordinal Scale were surprised to see the mysterious figure was Eiji.
Everyone: Eiji?!
As Eiji looked at PoH, he turned his attention to the comatose Nhazul, remembering what he did for him.
Eiji: Guess this makes us even, Wolf.
As Eiji returned his gaze towards, PoH rushed him, pushing him back. As PoH looked back up, he was surprised to see Eiji right on top of him and as the two started trading blows, PoH ended up quickly gaining the upper hand, knocking Eiji back.
PoH: You scum! Get out of my face!
Suddenly, a dark aura started swirling around PoH, as it was his Dark Incarnation that took the shape of a Devil.
PoH: He's a dirty Japanese! Don't forgive these cowardly hackers!
As the dark aura started spreading to the Red Knights, it began making them move towards Eiji.
As this happened, suddenly, a pillar of light came down from the sky, as the one to appear was Yuna the Idol.
Eiji: Yuna?
Yuna: Eiji, sorry to keep you waiting!
As Yuna made her appearance, the Red Knights were all surprised to see her, as her Eiji stood side by side.
Yuna: Let's do this, Eiji!
Eiji: Yeah.
PoH just looked at them annoyed.
PoH: Who the hell are you two?
As Yuna began to sing her song, Eiji began receiving multiple buffs through Yuma's Incarnation, as he smirked at PoH.
Eiji: This is round two.
As Eiji rushed in with his enhanced speed,
he blitzed him and kicked him in the face, pushing him back. As Yuna continued to sing, The Red Knights were starting to get free from PoH's control,
they started to see that they were really in a Japanese server. As the battle between PoH and Eiji continued, PoH attempted to hit Eiji with the Sword skill «Accel Raid», however Ejij dodged it, using his own Sword skill «Horizontal», only for PoH dodged it as well.
PoH: Bastard. Who are you?
As Eiji just looked at PoH, he clinched his fists tightly, as a white aura started swirling around him.
Eiji: I'm ...The Knights of the Blood Oath's... Natutilus!
As Eiji rushed towards PoH again, through Incarnation, Eiji's clothes to change changed to that of his SAO KoB uniform.
PoH: Never heard of you, scum!
As PoH went to slash Eiji, he dodged it, sweeping PoH's legs and went to slash him, however he quickly blocked it.
Eiji: True, back then, I was... a complete useless weakling. But!
As Eiji got into a stance, he used the Sword skill «Vorpal Strike»,
launching himself towards PoH, as he barley dodged it, having his poncho slashed.
Eiji: For murdering so many of the other players and my comrades in Aincrad, you're the one person... I'll never forgive!
As Eiji leapt into the air and used the Sword skill «Slant», PoH once again dodged it, but just as quickly was grabbed and thrown. As he did, he was suddenly reminded of his past and his hatred fur the Japanese...
Upon reliving those memories, PoH brought down his clever, cutting off both of Eiji's arms, shocking everyone, as his arms fell before him, still clutching his sword.
PoH: A puissant Japanese like you. Did you really think... you could beat me?
As PoH brought his clever down on Eiji, slashing his chest, he kicked him towards the others , as he continued to stand.
Asuna: Eiji, you...
As PoH walked over to them again, he just smirked.
PoH: Look at you now, you dirty Japanese! Time for you to go.
As Eiji just glared at PoH, lunged at him, biting a piece of his neck off, no longer suffering from his FNC.
Eiji: I'm not the same as I was before!
PoH: You annoying little shit!
As PoH looked at Eiji even more pissed,
he brought his clever down on his back and kicked him once again back to the others. As he did, Yuna, overwriting her data, transformed into her SAO avatar and ran to Eiji's side.
Eiji: Yuna... Did I do what I needed to do?
Yuna: Good job, Ei.
Asuna: Eiji...
Sinon: You really came to help Nhazul? Why?
Eiji weakly looked at them, before looking back to Yuna.
Eiji: I owed the Wolf... And I rather not be indebted to him...
After defeating Eiji, all the Red Knights looked at PoH, as Moonphase and Mei noticed the emblem on PoH's hand and were completely shocked and horrified.
Moonphase: Doesn't that emblem look familiar...?
Mei: Yeah...Isn't that the mark of [Laughing Coffin]...?
When they said that, all the other Red Knights immediately recognized the name and knew it was from SAO, the guild who murdered hundreds in the game.
As PoH just looked at them with an evil, sadistic smirk,
his dark aura started surrounding him again, as his Dark Incarnation took the form of a Devil once again. Amplifying the Red Knights through his Dark Incarnation, as they all began turning on and started to kill each other. Seeing this, PoH started laughing at the chaos he's created.
PoH: Hahahaha...Hahahaha....HAHAHAHA!!!
As the surviving players all watched in horror as the Red Knights all turned on each other, PoH looked at Nhazul and when he did, he was instantly reminded of his half brother just before his kidney transplant, who looked like Nhazul. As he knelt down to him, he gave yet another sadistic smile.
PoH: Just you wait. I'll wake you up soon. You keep laying there in a daze, everyone's going to die. And after you die here, after you return to the real world, I'm going to make you watch as I take my time killing the sniper.

Still fighting within the Rocky Mountains, Kirito and Subtlizer were still clashing with each other. As Kirito continued fire of air slashes as well as trying to deflect and dodge his sniper shots, however due to not having bullet lines, it's very difficult, as he couldn't deflect one of the shots in it priced his side, making him cough up blood.
Kirito's thoughts: Without GGO's bullet lines, predicting where his shots will go is damn near impossible....
As Kirito launched another air slash at Subtlizer, he dodged it, as the slash hit a mountain, completely destroying it, cutting it clean in half.
Kirito's thoughts: If I can get one good hit on him, I can immobilize him...
As Kirito reversed gripped his Dark Repulser and threw it at Subtlizer, he effortlessly dodged and looked back. With an incredible amount of speed, and power, Kirito lunged him self at
Subtlizer with the Sword skill «Vorpal Strike». Just as the blade pierced Subtlizer's heart, black energy surrounded Kirito, as his mind suddenly went blank. As his thoughts returned, Subtlizer had appeared behind, Kirito's eyes widened.
Subtlizer: I'm bored with this.
With that, Subtlizer shot Kirito's left arm and right leg, before he threw him towards ground, coughing up blood.
Kirito's thoughts: I'm sorry, Sinon...I'm sorry...Strea...I'm sorry...Nhazul...

Back within the Northern Chasm, both Yuuki and Leafa were still taking on the Red Knights, both becoming beyond exhausted, as blood dripped off Yuuki's face, along with slash marks all over her body, as well as missing an arm. Leafa had multiple spears stabbed into her back, but they continued fight.
As Yuuki's sword stared glowing white an aura surrounded her, as Leafa's sword started glowing green and a forest like aura surrounded her, they both fired off their attacks, which were multiple energy blades and mini air slashes, killing a large amount of them. As three of them rushed through the smoke, they stabbed Yuuki in the back and cut off Leafa's arm, however they were quickly killed by Yuuki, as Leafa stomped her foot on the ground, healing them both. As Leafa reattached her arm, she knelt down to Yuuki, who was panting heavily.
Leafa: Yuuki, you rest... I can finish the rest...
As Yuuki planted her sword into the ground, she weakly stood up, pieces of her armor falling off he.
Yuuki: No... I refuse to-
Suddenly was Yuuki cut off, by a thrown spear hitting her directly in the eye as blood mixed in with her tears from the intense pain started streaming down her face. So after, she began to glow, signaling that she was out of life. Seeing this, Leafa looked at them furiously and held up her sword as it started glowing red.
Leafa: YOU BASTARDS!!!!
Using the Sword skill «Vorpal Strike», through Incarnation the reach, radius and power was much more destructive,
taking out a massive amount of Red Knights. with Yuuki, she could fell herself dying, losing consciousness.
Yuuki's thoughts: I can't... I can't die here...
As Yuuki stood to her feet, she grabbed the spear in her eye.
Yuuki's thoughts: I won't....! I will not die here! I beat Death once to stay with him...
Yuuki then ripped out the spear in her head as blood started gushing everywhere, staining her purple hair red.
Yuuki's thoughts: And I will beat Death again to save him!!!!!!
Through her sheer willpower and Incarnation, Yuuki stopped glowing and her life started to regenerate, she grabbed her sword and started rushing the Red Knights.
Yuuki: I WILL NOT FALL TO WOUNDS LIKE THESE!!!! I AM [ZEKKEN THE ABSOLUTE BLADE]!!!!
As Yuuki jumped into the air, shocking Leafa who thought she had died, her sword began glowing purple.
Yuuki: BIG BRO'S... NHAZUL THE WOLF SWORDSMAN'S.... LITTLE SISTER!!!!!
Yuuki then used her OSS from ALO, the 11 hit combo «Mother's Rosario», through her Incarnation, a pair of purple energy wings sprouted from her back, as well as 10 large purple light swords appeared and rained down on the Red Knights,
before the 11th hit caused a massive beam to annihilate the 1,000 remaining Red Knights, causing a massive explosion. As Yuuki landed on the ground and fell, but Leafa quickly caught her.
Yuuki: I...I put up a good fight, didn't I, big bro...?
Leafa: Yeah, you did, Yuuki...
Back with Kirito, as he was still falling and Subtlizer fired a shot at him to end the battle. However as the shot nearly made contact, the bullet was stopped inches away from Kirito's heart. As he opened his eyes, saw two phantom sword, blocking the bullet in a cross pattern and he instantly recognized the swords to be the Nhazul's swords from SAO, which just made him started laughing.
Kirito's thoughts: Even now you still... I thought I told you.... I would be your shield!
As Kirito gripped his Elucidator tightly and raised it, as red aura started flaring up, as he looked towards Subtlizer.
Kirito's thoughts: Even if my Incarnation transformed my swords, the system feature should still be intact.
Kirito then looked behind Subtlizer and saw his Dark Repulser flying back towards him with a blue aura flaring around it.
Kirito: If you think you'll win you're dead wrong! Nhazul would never fall to the likes of you! And neither will I!
The aura around Kirito's swords started flaring even more.
Kirito's thoughts: Zanza's swords... They will return to the owner, no matter the reason...and said to act as one and draw out each other's power, even without the welders assistance! The power of the [Monados Blades]!
Kirito: This ends now!
As Kirito fired off a powerful air slash from in front and behind Subtlizer, both hit him and caused a massive explosion. As he hit the ground, Kirito looked up and saw Subtlizer was missing an arm and half his face was severely burned, as he looked at him furiously. Despite his injuries, Kirito pointed his sword at him.
Kirito: Bring it... I'll take you on as many times as it takes!
Subtlizer didn't say anything and just started to fly away and Kirito's swords returned to normal, as he leaned up against a rock wall.

Back in the Oceans Turtle, as Higa was still being held a gunpoint by Yanai inside the Main Shaft, they suddenly both heard Rinko.
Rinko: Higa, watch out!
As Higa heard Rinko, suddenly a wrench fell from the top and onto the platform, startling Yanai, making him lose his footing on the platform and causing him to fall to his death.
Rinko: Higa, are you alright?! Answer me! Hey!
Higa: Uh, well, you did startle me...I didn't know you could scream like that.
Rinko: H-How can you be so calm? Are you hurt? We're you shot?
Higa: Uh, well...No, I'm totally fine! It's just a scratch! I'll continue the operation. So please continue to monitor Nhazul!
Rinko: You're sure you're okay? I'll take your word on it! If you're lying, I'll never forgive you!
Higa: Of course, you can trust me!
Rinko: Then I'll head back to Subcon, but I'll be back here as soon as there's a change on the graph! I'm counting on you, Higa!
Higa: W-Wait, R-Rinko!
Rinko: Huh?
Higa: Uh, well...um...um, when all this is over, do you want to go out for dinner sometime?
Rinko: Fine. Hamburgers, beef bowls...I'll treat you to whatever you want! So good luck with this!
Higa just lowered his head.
Higa: What a cheep date... Actually, that line had " Death flag"written all over it...
As Higa grabbed his laptop and started connecting the STL's of everyone to Nhazul's STL.
Higa: Alright, Nhazul. Time to wake up.
Inside the Main Visualizer, Blue, Red, Black, Purple, green yellow and pink balls of light all connected to Nhazul's STL. At the same time as well two unknown gray lights did as well.
Back in the Underworld, PoH who was still standing over Nhazul continued laughing, as everyone watched helplessly. Soon Sinon started to glow, praying for Nhazul, the person who saved her from her pain and suffering , the person she fell in love with, to stand once more.
Sinon's thoughts: Please...we need you...I'll give you my heart, my soul, my everything...so please...please stand up, please open your eyes and stand up, Nhazul!
Sitting next to Nhazul, Asuna, as well started to glow, praying for Nhazul, one of her closest friends, someone who she's as younger brother.
Asuna's thoughts: Please, Nhazul...
With Leafa and Yuuki, the two of them started glowing as well, praying for the person who helped them so much, the person they saw as a second brother and an actual brother to wake up.
Leafa's thoughts: Nhazul...
Yuuki's thoughts: Please, big bro...!
With Kirito, he started to glow as well, praying for Nhazul, the first friend he made in the SAO Beta, someone he's known from the very beginning, his brother, to wake up.
Kirito's thoughts: Come on, Nhazul....
Back with Nhazul, the broken Blue Rose Sword that was stabbed into ground began to glow as well, as the voice of Eugeo could be heard.
Eugeo: Now, Nhzual...
And finally, a ghostly figure that was barely even visible appeared next to Nhazul and placed their hand on his cheek.
???: It's time, Nhazul.
Elsewhere, as Nhazul started to open his eyes and sat up and saw he was sitting in an empty classroom with his hood up.
Eugeo and ???: Nhazul...
As Nhazul heard the voices, he looked around confused.
Nhazul: What? Was that a dream...?
