The Apocalypse has locked thirty thousand players inside the game, and no one knows what to do.  The larger guilds are taking over Akihabara, and outside the city violent groups are Party Killing other players.  A young female member of Marielle's "Crescent Moon Alliance" is trapped in Susukino, far to the north, and needs their help.  Shiroe feels somewhat embarrassed, but makes a decision.
A-Akatsuki... You'll ride behind me.
Stört es dich, wenn du hinter
mir Platz nimmst, Akatsuki?
A-Akatsuki... Tu sali dietro di me.
Э-э... Ты полетишь со мной.
Не против?
