When Asuna returns to where she left them, Klein and his gild are nowhere to be seen. The following morning, equally Kirito practices with Os in Yoyogi Park, a daughter he doesn't know appears in a white hood, mouths something wordlessly and points off into the altitude before disappearing. A dislocated Kirito is surprised by Asuna who has arrived to have lunch with him.

They are easily overwhelmed until Asuna, Leafa, Klein, and several other memorable players from ALO and GGO come to their aid. Yui restores their saved abilities from SAO, assuasive anybody to defeat the boss.
