"Ok we're gonna be returning to the Sword Art Online universe. We're gonna be fast forwarding a little while later in the story. Basically, Ochako asked the leader of the Knights of the Blood Oath, Commander Heathcliff, to allow her to take a leave of absence from the guild. Heathcliff said no, so Izuku challenged him to a duel. If Izuku won, Ochako got to take a leave of absence. If Heathcliff won, Izuku had to join the Knights of the Blood Oath. Izuku lost. So now he's joined them" said Luke pressing a button on his remote.

It began with Izuku and Ochako in a room. Izuku was now wearing a white and red variant of his normal costume.

"Uh... don't you guys have uniforms that aren't so flashy?" asked Izuku.

"Actually that's one of our less flashy ones" said Ochako who was sitting on a stool.

Ochako giggled. "You look great" she said.

Izuku just sighed and fell onto the bed.

"I'm in a guild" he groaned.

"Why do I have a problem with being in a guild?" asked Izuku.

"Keep watching and you'll see" said Luke.

"I guess it's sort of my fault, isn't it?" said Ochako.

"No, this is a good opportunity. As a solo player I got as far as I could go" said Izuku.

"That makes me feel a little better" said Ochako as Izuku sat up.

"Hey, Deku? Why do you avoid guilds... and people? I hope you don't mind my asking" asked Ochako.

"Yeah, why?" asked Ochako.

"I mean, it's not because you're a beta tester or because you have unique skills, is it? You do care about people" said Ochako.

"Beta tester?" asked Izuku.

"You were one of the few people to play the beta version of Sword Art Online. So that means you have more experience than others" said Luke.

Izuku looked down. "It was a long time ago... about a year or so. Up to now, that was the only guild I was in. It was small, including me there was 6 of us in it. They called themselves the Moonlit Black Cats" said Izuku.

It then showed flashes of Izuku with the Moonlit Black Cats.

"As players, they were good. But their levels were way lower than mine. And I thought if I told them what my level was, they wouldn't have wanted me around. So I decided to keep my mouth shut about it, and I joined up with them. I'd watch them messing around, having fun, and I guess I wanted to be part of that, too" said Izuku.

"He just wanted to fit in with them" said Iida.

Izuku lowered his head even more. "Then one day..." he said.

It then showed Izuku and most of his teammates in a dungeon, surrounded by enemies, and we hear an alarm going off. It then showed Izuku's teammates being killed by the enemies, as Izuku explained to Ochako what happened that day.

"They went into a dungeon, and they entered a room Izuku was already in during his beta testing. He knew it was a trap but he didn't say anything because he didn't want them to know he was a beta tester, or beater as they call it. So they all died because he didn't say anything" explained Luke.

Ochako looked at Izuku in complete shock.

"I'm the reason the guild was wiped out. If I hadn't hidden the fact that I was a beater, I could've convinced them how dangerous that trap really was. I killed them. Sachi... all of them" said Izuku.

Ochako stood up, walked over to Izuku, cupped his face, sat next to him on the bed, and looked him in the eyes for a few seconds.

"I'm not gonna die, got that?" said Ochako.

Izuku was speechless.

"I can't die because... I have to protect you" she said.

She then leaned her face closer to his, and then... she hugged him.

"Aw man I thought they were gonna kiss!" said Mina.

"I know, right?" said Luke.

Izuku was about to hug her too, but he just left his hands at his sides.

It then skipped to Izuku and Ochako sitting in a room at the Knights of the Blood Oath HQ while talking to Vlad King, who was also wearing a Knights of the Blood Oath uniform.

"I gotta train?" asked Izuku.

"That's right. You, me, and one other guy are gonna form a party. Then we're all gonna go clear the dungeon on this floor" said Vlad.

"Vlad King's also a part of the Knights of the Blood Oath" said Luke.

"Makes sense" said Vlad King.

Ochako sat up. "Hold on, Vlad! Deku and I are already in-"

"I can't do anything about it, ma'am. Besides, as second-in-command you know we can't ignore the rules. If he's gonna be joining us then it's my job as commander of the front lines to take the kid out and evaluate his skills" said Vlad.

"But... that's ridiculous! He doesn't need evaluation! He's stronger than you!" said Ochako.

Izuku sighed.

"Kid, in 30 minutes I wanna see you at the western gate! OOH-AH!" said Vlad raising his fist in the air.

Vlad then left the room laughing.

Ochako sighed. "We finally had a chance to be alone" she said with her head down.

Izuku got up and patted her on the head. "I'll be back soon. Think you can wait for me?" he asked.

"Mm-hm. Just be careful" said Ochako, Izuku nodded.

It then cut to Izuku outside on his way to go meet up with Vlad and whoever else he was joining up with.

He saw Vlad up ahead at the entrance to the base, but then he saw Vlad pull a familiar looking person into view.

"Hey, kid! We're waitn' for ya!" shouted Vlad.

"Wait is that?" said Kendo.

When Izuku got closer he realized that it was Monoma as an adult, who had a look of regret on his face.

"Finally. More screen time" said Monoma.

"Are you serious?" said Izuku.

"Yep. Look at it this way, we're all in the same guild, so I figured now's a good time as any for you guys to bury the hatchet" said Vlad laughing.

Monoma took a few steps closer to Izuku.

"About the other day, I apologize for my behavior. I was rude to you, and I- I promise it won't happen again" said Monoma bowing to him.

"Yeah. Sure" said Izuku.

"What happened?" asked Monoma.

"You were assigned to Ochako as her bodyguard, but she kept trying to escape you because you were basically stalking her. Izuku challenged you to a duel to get you to leave her alone. He ended up winning and you were humiliated in front of a whole crowd of people who were watching" explained Luke.

"Alright, ladies, time to focus. Today, I'll be checking out how you react to dangerous situations. So I'm gonna need you to hand over all the crystals in your storage" said Vlad.

"Even my teleport crystals?" asked Izuku.

"Mm-hmm!" said Vlad.

"Teleport crystals are what players use to teleport to different parts of the game" explained Luke.

Monoma handed Vlad all of his crystals.

Izuku wasn't comfortable with handing over all his crystals, but he did so anyway.

"Yeah, ok" said Izuku as he handed Vlad all of his crystals.

"Awesome! Now, let's go clear a dungeon!" shouted Vlad raising his fist in the air.

"Yay" said Izuku and Monoma in monotone voices as they raised their fists in the air slightly.

It then cut to the 3 of them walking through a canyon.

"This looks like a good place to take a break!" said Vlad King.

Izuku and Monoma sat down on some rocks.

"Chow time, ladies!" said Vlad as he opened his menu and summoned two bags, he tossed one to Monoma and one to Izuku.

Izuku opened his and thought he saw one of Ochako's sandwiches in there. He then had a vision of Ochako lifting the sandwich in front of him.

"Say 'Ah!' " she said.

But it cut back to reality as Izuku saw that it was just a plain old rice cake in the bag.

"What was that all about?" asked Ochako.

"You're a hell of a good cook in this. And Izuku misses you and your delicious sandwiches" explained Luke.

Izuku sighed, then pulled out his bottle of water and drank it.

He then turned to see Monoma chuckling with an evil grin his face, and he wasn't eating or drinking any of his meal.

"This doesn't look good" said Mina.

"Yeah I'm just gonna go and teleport the kids to the kids room real quick" said Luke as he snapped his fingers and Eri, Kota, Katsuma, and Mahoro were gone.

Izuku then realized that the water was poisoned and threw it. When the drink hit the ground, it shattered into particles, or whatever it is you call them.

Izuku fell backwards and saw that his HP was dropping. He also saw Vlad King collapse onto the ground, since he was also poisoned.

"MONOMA, WHAT DID YOU DO?!" said Tetsutetsu.

'We've been poisoned!' said Izuku in his head.

Monoma then got up and started laughing like a deranged psychopath.

"The Hell's going on? You packed the water, Monoma. What'd you do? You bastard!" said Vlad weakly.

"Antidote crystals. Hurry!" said Izuku weakly.

Vlad pulled out an antidote crystal, but Monoma kicked it away.

"Poor, sad, old Vlad. I always knew you were a colossal idiot. But this proves you're even dumber than I thought" said Monoma.

"What the Hell, Monoma?!" said Vlad.

"Other me, sir!" said Monoma in his defense.

Monoma then pulled out his sword.

"Don't do this!" groaned Vlad.

Monoma then swung his sword down into Vlad's back. As Vlad's health began to drop, he said the crystal above Monoma's head turn from green, to orange.

"No! Stop it!" said Vlad in pain as Monoma pulled the sword out of his back.

"Here's my plan. Our party was walking along, when..." and then he swung the sword down into Vlad's back again.

"...we were attacked by this gang of criminal players who appeared out of nowhere" said Monoma as he swung his sword down onto Vlad again.

"You both fought hard, but you were killed in battle. It was just me against all of them, and, somehow, I courageously and single-handedly fought them all off!" said Monoma as he cackled maniacally and swung his sword down on Vlad yet again.

Izuku could only watch in horror as Monoma kept swinging his sword down on Vlad, leaving glowing red marks everywhere.

And then, Monoma slammed the tip his sword down into Vlad's back while screaming like an animal.

"MR. VLAD NO!!!!!" screamed Class 1-B.

"MONOMA YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!" screamed Tetsutetsu in Monoma's face.

"YOU'RE FUCKING DEAD, BRO!!!" screamed Awase.

"OTHER ME!!!!!" screamed Monoma in tears.

Vlad screamed as Monoma jammed the sword even deeper into his back. And then... he died. His whole body shattered into particles.

Monoma then turned to Izuku with a psychotic smile on his face.

Izuku tried to get up, but couldn't.

"You know, I just killed an innocent bystander because of you. How am I gonna live with myself?" said Monoma as he approached Izuku.

"From over here, you looked like you were having a blast doing it. Why the Hell would a guy like you join the Knights of the Blood Oath? You'd be more at home with one of the criminal guilds" said Izuku.

"Yeah, he would" said Kendo.

"What an interesting observation. You have sharp eyes" said Monoma as he opened his menu and removed his left sleeve.

Izuku's eyes widened and he gasped when he saw what was on his arm.

"You're with Laughing Coffin, the murder guild!" said Izuku in shock.

"Laughing Coffin?" said Kendo.

"They're a group of psychotic murders who kill for fun. Monoma's secretly a part of them" Luke explained.

"That's where I got the skills to paralyze bastards like you. Where's my head?" said Monoma as he put his sleeve back on.

"I better stop talking, or the poison will wear off. And we wouldn't want that. Time to finish you off for good!" said Monoma as he jabbed his sword into Izuku's wrist.

"MIDORIYA NO!" screamed Class 1-A.

Izuku screamed in pain as Monoma moved the sword around a bit.

'The poison's not wearing off!' said Izuku in his head as Monoma pulled the sword out of his wrist.

Monoma then jabbed the sword down into Izuku's thigh.

"How's it feel? Come on! I want to know how it feels, knowing you're about to die like a dog" said Monoma as he moved the sword around in Izuku's thigh.

"Oh yeah. You are so dead, Monoma" said Kendo.

"Aw come on!" said Monoma.

Izuku didn't say anything.

"What? Is your tongue paralyzed, too?" said Monoma.

Izuku saw that his HP was dropping even more now.

'Is this it?' said Izuku in his head.

He then remembered when Melissa died. 'Is this where I'm gonna die?' he said in his head

"Come on, now! It's your last chance to say something. You really are going to die!" said Monoma as he pulled the sword out of Izuku's thigh.

Monoma then jabbed his sword down into Izuku's stomach. Izuku saw that he had very little HP left.

Izuku closed his eyes, ready to die. But when he did he saw a vision of Ochako, and he realized that he couldn't die now. He needed to get back to her.

He opened his eyes, and grabbed the blade and weakly tried to pull it out.

Monoma noticed this. "Huh! Why do you keep struggling? Are you afraid of dying after all?" said Monoma.

"No... I'm just not... ready yet!" said Izuku weakly.

Monoma laughed again. "Is that so?! That's the way I like it!" said Monoma with another psychotic look on his face as he pushed the sword down more.

Izuku desperately tried to get the sword out, and he saw that he had barely any HP left.

"DIE. DIE! DIIIIIIIEEE!!!!!" screamed Monoma.

Izuku was almost dead, when suddenly it showed the first person view of someone moving quickly through the canyons, and then running up to Monoma and blasting him back into a wall in a flash of green light.

"What just happened?" asked Izuku.

"Keep watching" said Luke.

Izuku looked up to see that it was Ochako. She went over to Izuku and pulled out a healing crystal.

"Heal!" she said, and the crystal disappeared and Izuku's HP bar was refilled.

"I made it. I made it in time. Thank god. I made it" said Ochako in tears as Izuku looked up to her.

"I was tracking your position on the map the whole time. And then I saw Vlad disappear. I got worried something happened. But you're alive! I'm not dreaming, am I?" asked Ochako in tears.

"No. You're not" said Izuku.

Monoma then got up, and Ochako turned her head and glared at him.

"Hang on. I'll finish this" said Ochako standing up.

"Kick his ass, Uraraka!" shouted Kirishima.

Ochako walked over to Monoma and pulled out her rapier.

Monoma started to panic. "Uh, O-Ochako, I-I can explain everything! We were just training when all of a sudden, there was this-" but then Ochako cut his right cheek with her rapier.

Monoma stumbled back. "Damn you!" shouted Monoma as he swung his sword at her, but Ochako ducked under it.

Ochako then unleashed a flurry of strikes on Monoma, covering him in glowing red marks. Monoma screamed as his health started going way down.

Monoma dropped his sword and put his hands in the air. "I give up! I surrender! Please don't kill me!" begged Monoma as he dropped to his knees.

"I'll leave the guild! You'll never see me again! I promise! Please!" cried Monoma.

"Coward" said everyone, minus Monoma.

Ochako was about to jab her rapier down onto Monoma.

"I DON'T WANNA DIE!!!!!" screamed Monoma as he buried his face into the ground.

Ochako was about to stab him, but stopped herself.

Monoma then chucked and grabbed his sword and knocked Ochako's rapier away.

"The oldest trick in the book! And you fell for it, bitch!" said Monoma as he was about to swing his sword down on her.

"OCHAKO, NO!!!" screamed Izuku.

But then, Izuku blocked Monoma's attack with his left arm, cutting off his virtual hand.

Monoma was shocked by this, and then Izuku's right hand started glowing yellow, and he punched it right through Monoma's chest.

"Finally" said Bakugo.

Monoma's HP then went all the way down. "God damn you. You murdered me" whispered Monoma before his whole body disappeared into particles.

Izuku then collapsed to his knees.

"Alright I'll bring the kids back now" said Luke snapping his fingers.

Ochako walked over to Izuku and sat down on her knees behind him. She was gonna grab his hand, but didn't.

"I'm sorry. This was... all my fault, wasn't it?" whimpered Ochako with her head down.

"Don't think that, Ochako!" said Izuku.

Ochako started crying as we see tears land on her hand in front of her.

Izuku turned his head to her. "Ochako..." he said.

"I'm sorry. But I- I should... stay away from you" said Ochako with tears running down her round cheeks.

"For your sake" she said.

Izuku grabbed Ochako's shoulder with his remaining hand and pulled her in for a kiss.

"Never gets old seeing them kiss" said Mina.

Ochako was shocked at first, but she soon gave into the kiss.

After a few moments, Izuku broke from the kiss, then rested his head on Ochako's chest.

"Ochako... my life belongs to you. I'll give it up for you. I want to stay with you until the end" said Izuku.

"And I promise I'm do anything to protect you, too. Forever... no matter what. I swear" said Ochako.

"I'll do everything I can to make sure you get back to the real world" said Izuku.

Izuku then looked up at her. "Ochako, could I... stay with you for the night?" he asked.

Ochako blushed, but then she smiled and nodded. "Mm-hmm" she said.

"Before anyone says anything. Izuku meant he wanted to have dinner with her, not sex. Ochako doesn't realize that though. But now we're gonna fast forward to after all that" said Luke pressing the fast forward button on his remote.

It then showed Ochako sleeping in bed with a blanket covering herself up. Izuku sat the edge of the bed and smiled at her, then poked her cheek, waking her up. She turned to Izuku and smiled.

"Hey. Whatcha smiling about?" asked Izuku.

"Mm. I was just having a dream... about my old life. It was weird. In the dream I had, everything in Aincrad, everything that happened, and meeting you, was just that: a dream. And I was so scared. But it wasn't. Thanks god it wasn't" said Ochako.

"Now that sounds weird. Don't you want to go back?" asked Izuku.

"Of course I do. I do! It's just, I don't want my life here to disappear, is all. The last two years have been very special to me. I realize that now" said Ochako.

Ochako then sat up while still covering herself up with the blanket. "Listen. Deku? I was thinking... maybe we could leave the front lines for a while" said Ochako.

"What?" said Izuku.

"I'm scared. I feel like if we return to the battlefield now, something bad's gonna happen again. Or maybe I'm just tired of it all" said Ochako.

"I know what you mean. I guess I am, too" said Izuku as he looked out the window.

There was a moment of silence.

"In the southwest of floor 22, there's this tiny little village by a lake and a forest. We could get a house together. And then..." said Izuku.

"And then what?" asked Ochako.

"Then..." he turned to look at her.

"We get married" he said.

"In the game, two players can get married if they want too, not actual marriage, but still" Luke explained to the audience.

Ochako was shocked at this, but then tears of joy started to form in her eyes. "Ok!" she said.

The screen then went to black, but not before the audience heard this song:

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

"You'll be seeing more SAO later" said Luke.

Thx for reading. I've done more Sword Art Online.
