Wind forces his face backwards, along with a feeling of weightlesness.

He opens the twins.

This is unexpected.

He gets scared, flying does that to you.

But not flying as in inside a plane, he's flying on his own!

Looking at the arm that ensnares him, he recognizes the signature white metal like suit.

It does feel as cold as metal.

He doesn't even know how he should feel about this.

His friend holds him tighter and they gain a boost of speed.

Passing the clouds now...

Kirito suddenly feels something clawing inside of him.

He looks at his friend and his friend looks back, taking in something.

Unannounced, he grabs him by behind the neck and throws him to even greater heights.

Being senseless like that, lost, he simply needed to vocalize his fear, with a scream as he ascended into the unknown.

A picture of the world starts coming together, it looks red, and the land mass seems to be large, but it's impossible to tell if more continents exist on the other side.

He wants to look more, but the fear of spiraling out of control impedes him, but when he sees his friend arriving, he analyzes his surroundings.

Well, it's sort of dissapointing, in the sense that you can't even see anything you would expect seeing on the solar system.

It's empty... no white dots... no other giants of rock far, far away... nothing at all...

This was probably when he really thought for the first time after this past minutes.

-How the hell am I breathing?!!

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

No sound came from that... which only reiterates that he was really breathing on vacuum.

I can't even feel any difference.

He sees the expressionless helmet in his face and shivers.

His friend shoves his hand in his abdomen. Not to injure but to... take Khanti off?

It seems different from before, it's petrol black in color now, and emiting purplish fumes.

Such an obvious thing to notice...

His friend supports his left arm on his right shoulder and his left leg on the opposing one.

-Motionless.

With that word, Kirito feels his body clenching, he can't move an inch.

And then some pinkish tentacles emerge from Gojo's body.

He's impressed to see such demonstration.

All of them surround him and tighten up.

Gojo then pulls Khanti, but even with such strength it's a task that's proving to be difficult.

Khanti slowly detaches itself, with body tissues cracking along the way.

When he's finally removed, the three of them are pushed back.

-Shit! I didn't thought all of this through!

With these words he recoils the tentacles and prepares a throw... he throws his arm back and... there goes Khanti...

That hurt... but it doesn't now, so Kirito looks down and... the injury to his belly has been replaced by bright, crimson skin, and there's no sign of his stab wound, that is as good as it was on Earth.

Gojo grabs Kirito and flies down, he can move now.

Behind them, an enourmous blast starts forming, and it grows, and grows.

He looks back, asking himself why, why did that had to happen with Khanti.

I won't hesitate to ask now... for everything!

A trip like this would be boring, if not for Gojo's speed.

The only things remarkable in the distance is a big city... and a bright colored castle in the mountains behind it.

They arrived... through s hole in the ceiling!

I mean, it makes sense but someone is not going to be happy with that.

After taking some steps, his friend seems to drop his worry.

One obvious thing needed an answer.

-Where is...

-She's resting upstairs. I guess you already know but, it really was because of the dagger, she's fine now.

Oh, and don't you worry about the dagger... I ate it!

Saying that with a finger on his mouth and stuff, he expected something, but I already believe in almost anything now.

-Well, anyways... I caught the dude... And I don't know why I told you...

-Let me join you!

-Look, you do know that you might get involved in some crime politics stuff or something...

Kirito storms out of the door, with his mind set on the goal... but comes back for someone...

She seems fine now.

--She's sleeping now... the guy is in our special room... close the door.

Gojo touches the door, looks back and opens it.

-Ta-daaa!

It's somewhere else entirely, a grey room with the mask person trapped in the middle, in some sort of chair, guess it must be a pretty strong one.

Gojo closes the door behind them.

-Alright, let's not waste too much time here, why not start with this, to break the ice, you know?

Taking the mask off seems to be the logical first step.

-I have some tutoring to do after this, so I won't hesitate to get dirty if you take too...

His recoil isn't a good sign, let me see...

Well, I can't say I was expecting this...

It's someone from his old life.
