Gameplay

{Cinematic}

''The Guardian look through their scope of their gun as they try to watch the Shadowkeepers' meeting, while the Ghost tries to eavesdrop the Shadows' Conversation through the comms and get it to Eris and Hannah to listen on them. Kirito walks up to the stage while Asuna stands in the background beside Kirito's champions Kotrik, Zharves, Gha'arn, Thu'urg, and Vayeriks, as well as Hydrax floating in the distance as he watches. Crowds of Fallen and Cabal Shadows watch their master as he gives out a speech.'' ''The Audience starts murmuring around the area. Kirito allows them to finish as he speaks again.'' As he calls out, Kirito's daughter, Yui, teleports a large Crux of Darkness to the arena, Kirito hides a devilish smile as he turn back to the Shadows. ''He raises his hand to the Crux and he channels his power as he starts to move his hand up in the air as the Crux begins to separate into small pieces, the crowd is full of shock and awe, Asuna forms a smile at Kirito's demonstration as he quickly turns his hand into a fist as the Crux implodes into a large orange bubble. The Crowd start to cheer for Kirito as he then falls to his knees, The Crux would collapse into pieces as he was out of breath from the event. Asuna quickly runs over to him but he has his hand out to stop her.'' He gets up and dusts off his clothing as he looks back to the crowd. The congregation begins to slowly cheer on for Kirito, as the Guardian continue their aim at Kirito. ''Just then, a House of Shadows Marauder would uncloak and intervene with the Guardian, causing them to miss their shot and only grazing Kirito's shoulder. He falls to the ground as he tries to cover the wound. Kotrik and Gha'arn look up to see who did the shot. The Guardian would wrestle against the Marauder and kicks him off the cliff. Kotrik would aim with his Wire Rifle and shoots at the Guardian but misses.'' Kotrik would fire again while Asuna runs to Kirito. The crowd nodded as they exit the arena and run out to get the Guardian. {Cutscene ends}

The wait is finally over, for I, Kirito, Chosen by the Winnower, Champion of the Black Fleet, Bringer to Light's End, will bring you the Salvation and justice that you crave so dearly...
 * Kirito: And to prove my gifts, I will demonstrate the power that none have ever tried...oh Yui?
 * Kirito: WITNESS THE POWER THAT THE WINNOWER HAS BESTOWED TO ME!
 * Kirito: Fine...I'm fine...
 * Kirito: As you can see...I have the very power to manipulate even the objects of Darkness. With this, even the Strongest of the Light will fall!
 * Hannah: Kill him now!
 * Ghost: We're trying to-
 * Ghost: Okay, that's enough, We need to leave!
 * Asuna: Kirito-kun! Are you alright?
 * Kirito: I'm fine, I'm fine...but the intruders won't be... Go, my Shadows. Stop them in any way you can!
