5 Heaven and Earth
After a great performance from Akira, now most of the player regained their spirits back albeit there were still some of them that still in negative.
Akira after his speech came down from the spotlight and approach Kayaba as he was still the one with the most knowledge about Aincrad. Kayaba Akihiko the genius that created the once a fiction virtual reality to existence was definitely the real person to consult in these situations.
"Kayaba-san, I hold the reign for now but it won't hold for too long."
"Yes thank you, you did a great job. I still cannot accept this is happening to me, but maybe this is also some form of Karma."
Akira who heard the later part of what Kayaba said, agreed to what Kayaba said because if one thinks about it. Kayaba fate in the Anime was quite pitiful, he created what he dreamed of from his childhood dreams. But for what? To play as the antagonist? That's just too much...
"I don't give a shit about Karma and Fate, but right now my hands are itching to give a big slap to those called Gods," Akira said with a smile as he extended his hand.
"Then let's give them a big one," Kayaba answered as he took Akira hands, and exchange handshakes.
Kibaou and Diavel at the sideline, only watching both of these guys handshakes and nodded to them. As after dragging them into here, the so-called Gods just leaves them hanging and questioning without any hints.
"But first we need to get out from this situations,"
Then Kayaba explains to the whole players what their current situation was like.
Aincrad 1st floor is made up of grassland field type and some floating islands. with 6 different dungeons as the pillar to support the top floor. From those 6 dungeons, there is only one pillar that could lead up to the next floor. And from all of this, there actually two structure that becomes the center of all Aincrad, The Ruby palace and The town of Beginning where our current location is.
Put it like this, Aincrad is a one Giant Bottle where the 100th floor is the lid and the 1st floor is the bottom of the bottle. Normally, it would be no problem if the lid is gone as long the bottom on the ground the water won't be spilled.
But what it would be like, if the bottom of the bottle of from iron were thrown from the stratosphere and falling down because of the planet gravity?
It would be shattered to pieces.
And for the inside, well... I leave it up to your imaginations.
Aincrad was floating because of the 14 magic crystal, located outside of the castle. If this was a real bottle it won't be a problem, but this magic crystal needs the two core to function normally. And now with one of them gone, it won't take long to make Aincrad lose its ability to float.
"Then Kayaba-san is there any other way?" Akira asked Kayaba the question that had been on the other player mind right now.
"Sadly there is no other way to replace the core and the connection between 100th floor and 1st floor..."
Everyone who heard that was feeling hopeless and ready to accept their fate.
"But there is a way for us to survive."
Sora with Shiro and the other two chimed in at the same times. Akira who saw the four of them was elated. Because right now they probably have 5 most genius person in the whole universe gathered in one place.
The four of them look at one another and acknowledge each other. From the group, the red-haired ponytail guy who Akira believes to be Kagami Junichirou from Denpa Kyoushi Anime series, and the white shirt and glasses guy, was none other than Shiroe from Log Horizon series. And now he took a look around the plaza carefully beside the main character of the Anime series, it seems that the one that has an affiliation is actually inside here as well!
While the five talks to each other, Akira felt like he would have a lot of headache coming toward him in the future.
"Then we could use the floating island no?" - Junichirou
"If what Kayaba-san said correct, Technically yes, because they have their own floating crystal and could last longer than the one outside." - Shiroe
"The question is, How to reach those floating island right?" - Sora
"I programmed those floating island to serves as mere decoration, a feast for the eye. And to reach it, you must have high enough Agility and Dexterity to a certain point that your jump could reach 5 to 10 meters." Kayaba
"But, there is no high-level players yet right?" - Junichirou
"And we are pressed against time." - Shiroe
"There still 15 minutes left before the last crystal outside burned out." - Kayaba
"Ughh, what's with this impossible game..." - Sora
"Nii..." - Shiro
"The odd is just too many..." - Sora
"Nii...!" - Shiro
"What is it, little sister?" -Sora
"Him," Shiro said as she points her finger toward one person who albeit the one who started it but remained silent throughout the discussion. All five of them draw their eyes toward him who still looking at the blue sky nonchalantly.
Akira who finally notice all the gaze, finally turn toward all of them with a confused look on his face.
"what?"
"Dead or Alive, your call Mr.Leader," Sora said as he looks at Akira in the eyes.
"Pfft! Leader my ass. But putting that aside, aren't all of you thinking with your logic too much that you forgot about this game most redeeming features, right Kayaba-san?"
Kayaba took Akira word seriously before it came across his mind and made all of this plan possible.
"Of course, The Sword skill!" Shiroe said as it hit him.
"With the sword skill, be it climbing or fly toward the island with the help of system assist would be indeed possible," Junichirou said while pondering the possibilities from the sword skill that could be used to do the job.
"Yes and, there is one floating island that could contain all of us near the Quest Plain Hill and it also in a good spot where it floating below the highest hill," Kayaba answered.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's run!" Akira with his biggest smile said.
*Ahem!*
That's when all of their resolution and conviction turned downhill instantly.
"It seems, that I forgot to transfer this space to the place I already assigned."
Yukari came out of nowhere said, and everything turned black.
