 After much sacrifice and determination, the Guardians succeeded in killing Kirito, Asuna, and the Shadowkeepers, driving the Shadow Army and Ghosts of Nagasaki away, saving Mal, and destroying the Darkness for good. Despite this momentous victory, various figures of the Shadow Army, including Kirito and Asuna's eldest son [[Forum:Tatsuyi Kirigaya, Vibebreaker of Shadows|Tatsuyi Kirigaya]], would resurrect the Shadowkeepers and his parents as [[Nightmares]] and attempt to carry on the Shadowkeeper Apocalypse, either for their own purposes or to finish what the Shadow Army elites and the Darkness had started in destroying the Guardians. Despite these new foes, the Guardians maintained their strength and determination, while also contending with major threats besides the Shadow Army and Ghosts of Nagasaki.
+==Prelude: The Swordsman's Arrival==
+{{Quote|We have watched over majicks and worlds since the stars were young. But man has destroyed the balance. Just as they tried to destroy you." <br> "But you brought us back. Why?" <br> "Because you can right what the [[Guardian|mortals]] made wrong." <br> "How do you know that?" <br> "You come from their world, but fight for ours. You will be the Black Swordsman and Lightning Flash, Overlords of Shadows. You will be the instruments of our reckoning.|The [[Darkness]], speaking to Kirito and Asuna.}}
+Some time after the Guardians' victory during the events of [[Lightfall]], the [[Darkness]], having found a still-open portal, used its dying breath to send the [[Black Fleet]] into the dimensional gateway to recruit its new allies: Kirito and Asuna. Having known firsthand about how they had seen what it saw and mourned for the deaths of their friends and of innocence, the Darkness not only gave them back their powers from Sword Art Online, but also granted them permanent access to its Pyramids, knowing that they can succeed where its previous forces failed.
+Upon accepting the Darkness's gift, after stepping out of their dimension and into the [[The Guardian|Guardian]]'s universe, Kirito and Asuna would go on to recruit various villains from numerous dimensions, including Totomaru, a former member of the Phantom Lord guild and the manipulator of the [[Solar]] element; [[Forum:Eobard Thawne, Speedbreacher of Kirito|Eobard Thawne]], the Reverse Flash and a speedster who murdered Nora Allen, the mother of Barry Allen; [[Forum:Malcolm Merlyn, Crystalline of Kirito|Malcolm Merlyn]], the Dark Archer and the man who orchestrated the destruction of the Queen's Gambit and played a role in Sara Lance's apparent death; Damien Darhk, the leader of HIVE and the man who murdered Laurel Lance; Tobias Whale, a crime lord and the man who murdered Jefferson Pierce's father; The Doctor, a Framework persona of Leopold Fitz and HYDRA's ruthless second-in-command; Anton Ivanov, the leader of the Watchdogs and a powerful mercenary known as Omega; Hiram Lodge, a powerful businessman and the leader of a notorious criminal empire responsible for the emergence of the Ghoulies; Morgana le Fay, the Mother of Monsters and a powerful wizard who was betrayed by Merlin and allied with Gunmar and his army in her quest for revenge on the Trollhunters; [[Uldren Sov]], the Prince of the Reef who was presumed dead during the [[Battle of Saturn]]; Djin, the leader of the Numeros and a former member of M.A.T.A.; Sasuke Uchiha, the lone surviving member of the Uchiha clan who acquired the Sharingan and the Rinnegan; Phoenixaro Uchihamaki, the leader of the Akatsuki and Kakashi Hatake's estranged brother; and Ruby Hale, the Destroyer of Worlds and the daughter of General Hale, who had been genetically engineered by HYDRA's leader Daniel Whitehall, forming a notorious organization unlike anything the world had ever encountered known as the Shadowkeepers. They would also resurrect [[Forum:Reign, Heart of Kirito|Sachi]] and [[Forum:Fikrul, Armament of Kirito|Eugeo]] by implanting the respective memories of Reign and [[Fikrul, the Fanatic]] into their vessels' bodies.
+At some point in time, Kirito and Asuna would also rally numerous enemies of both the Traveler and its Guardians, instilling into them a profound sense of freedom and purpose, promising them that they would be the one to save them and those cast out and left for dead by their own people from the Traveler's lies. During the course of the impending war between the Guardians and the Witch Queen's armies, many key leaders of various Fallen houses, Hive sects, Vex collectives, and other factions would pledge their allegiances to the Shadowkeepers.
