Kotrik turned his head towards the room Mallory was in and then back towards Kirito. "The man you've been looking forward to killing... you want him dead," he spoke. "I know him. That man is Commander [[Zavala]], and 7 centuries ago, someone similar to him helped numerous enemies from your past slaughter your home and take everything from you. I believe you once knew him as Alphonse Perrier du von Scheck, the man responsible for your cousin's betrayal, for Sugou Nobuyuki's release from prison, for Laughing Coffin's revival, and, worst of all, for your friends' deaths. Well, up until now, Zavala has been sending forces of his own to do the same to our homes and families. He thought he was doing it to save the Traitor Machine, but all he did was delay the inevitable." | Kotrik turned his head towards the room Mallory was in and then back towards Kirito.

"An inevitability which is now here," Dominus Gha'arn said. "For as of today, that same 'Traitor Machine' will have nothing to save it." | |||
As | As Gha'arn said what he had in mind, Kirito turned around and looked eagerly towards him and Kotrik. "Well said," Kirito responded, grinning evilly. "With all of our forces combined… the City will fall, and there will be no hope left for them. We will succeed where our predecessors failed and finally attain total control." | ||
"For now, I'm going to call one final meeting for all of us soon, in order to go over our plans and ensure our success in this attack," he said, before walking out towards another room. Kotrik and Gha'arn stayed behind. "But first, there's someone I have to speak to. Head to the meeting room. I'll meet you guys there." | |||

"Should we really go?" Aoi asked her husband nervously. The rain was pouring outside. Sheets crashed almost horizontally into the house. Buffeted by the wind, the monsoon rains were hitting hard. | |||
"We have to. We can't sacrifice our son because of a bit of bad weather," Yukito replied stubbornly. Lying in his crib, their first born, Kazuto, was only two months old. Unease swept through the parents as Kazuto coughed again. With a fever that continued to creep higher, their only child was in danger. | |||
Winds roaring, the house shook around them. "I'm scared," Aoi admitted. Her husband is the only one she would trust with this information. Road conditions were deteriorating, and phone lines were down. | |||
"I'll go start the car," Yukito told his wife. "It will be alright, I promise you. Our son will live." | |||
"Of course." Aoi nodded, hardening her resolve. No monsoon would make her risk her child. | |||
Opening the door with a bang, Yukito fought his way to the small car on the driveway. Climbing in was a struggle. He knew he'd have to go help his wife with their child. Turning the key in the ignition, fate shifted. Initially roaring to life, the engine puttered out. Shock battling despair, Yukito pleaded with any god that would listen as he tried again. | |||
"Just spare my son," Yukito cried, banging his hand on the steering wheel. "Please." | |||
Turning the key again and again, the engine showed no sign of life. There were no options for repairs, nowhere dry to put the car and attempt them himself. Trudging roughly back to the house, Aoi locked eyes with Yukito. | |||
"The car isn't working?" | |||
Shaking his head, Yukito wrapped his wife and child into a hug. | |||
"We'll just have to wait, and hope." Aoi told her stricken husband. A strange feeling in her chest. Logically, she knew she should be upset as she has no way to get her child to the hospital, however, her instincts told her this was for the best. That Kazuto was strong. That he would survive. | |||
A short while later, on an all but abandoned highway, a semi-truck rolled, the result of a fierce gust of wind hitting its cross-section. Back in the warm house, three people would never know that their destinies had changed that day. | |||
