Chapter 62 - Yui Crownguard

John and Nesiara wanted to leave to find Thinker who was trapped by a fraction of his guild that wants to overthrow him because he was to intimidate by Jack.

What the people of the Army don't know is how difficult it was for him to deal with Jack in reality. He was happy for every deal he made with Jack that brought his guild some profit so they could keep the streets safe and the prison running.

Jack even wanted to give him a hand on the prison matter but he got a bad feeling that the people inside it wouldn't be seen ever again if he let Jack handle the matter.

The couple was about to leave when Yui sees them and runs towards them as she clings on John's and Nesiara's legs in protest of them leaving.

John and Nesiara found it quite cute as John picks her up and says, "Mom and Dad will be back in a moment. Grandpa will look after you. Isn't that right, Grandpa."

"Come here, little girl. I raised more children than your Paps over there did. You had to see how difficult it was to raise his aunt was. She was such a tomboy," says Jack as she takes Yui from John's arms and says, "How about I tell you one or two of your Paps' secrets while you stay with me."

Yui was thinking for a moment about it before she shook her head in denial while saying, "I want to go with my parents."

She then jumps into Nesiara's arms and both were defeated by her cuteness when Jack says, "It would be a good practice learning to protect your children while fighting against your enemy. I had to do that most of the time because of Alura and her dragon pet. She would follow me everywhere to see me fight against some villain I had to cover her eyes before the fight ended until she got older and found out that I would kill my enemies."

"Did you really had to say that," says Nesiara as she was radiating rage at the moment while John was covering Yui's ears so she could listen to what Jack was about to say.

Then Nesiara takes Yui by the hand and says, "I hope you can do what you told us earlier."

"Girl, I'm a Godking that can do whatever he wants. That little thing should is easier than wiping the universe out. Trust me and finish your task then return," says Jack as the group leaves to find that Underground Dungeon.

They find the entrance and the wall were completely white making John think that he was in a psychiatry. John and Nesiara were careful as they had Yui with them.

Advancing through the Underground Dungeon they find a group of Army Soldiers that were scared shitless when they saw John and Nesiara.

John rushed at them since the man Thinker wasn't between them. Once he took them down he asked, "Where is he?"

"Where is who?" asks one of the separatists when John uses more force.

"You know very well who I mean. Where is Thinker?" asks John again while putting Yamato against the neck of separatist and continues, "I won't ask again."

"He is down the floor. He bunkered himself in a room with a person wearing blue clothes," says the separatist as John put Yamato back and lets them go for now because Yui was with them.

They continue walking down the corridor as they arrive at a control room and find said person and Thinker drinking tea together. Thinker looked quite nervous as he drank his tea when the person with long black hair says, "You have finally arrived. I was awaiting you to bring the program back."

"We aren't handing her over," says John as Nesiara put herself before Yui to protect her when the person just disappears and appears behind them.

He wanted to grab Yui but an invisible wall protected Yui from the claws of the man as he says, "*humming* This shouldn't happen did father protect her? Well, it can't be helped then."

"What can't be helped and who is your father?" asks Nesiara as she pointed her spear at the man while her eyes turned red.

"A Wyrm so we are family. Come then," says the man as he returned to his seat and three more seats appeared out of nowhere as he gestures to them to sit down and three more cups appeared on the table when he says, "My name is Itachi Uchiha, adoptive son of Logan Wyrm. I have been placed here because of my administrative ability to keep everything running around here."

"Another Uchiha did Logan adopt all of your clan?" asks John sarcastic as Itachi only smiled at that.

"Not all the other two males would have been too old and my wife was resurrected by him making her his daughter too," says Itachi as he explained the situation to them.

"But why have you kept Thinker here?" asks John as Itachi looked at Thinker.

"For his own protection until you arrived to get him. I thought I could get the lost program back but it seems that she can stay with you since she got father's blessing," says Itachi when Nesiara looked at him angrily while Yui who remembered who she was got sad.

"Yui," says Nesiara angry as she continues, "Her name is Yui not Program."

"Right, I'm sorry about this Yui," says Itachi nervous as he experienced the fury of a Wyrm woman before and they continue to talk.

"Since you are here let me give you a warning," says Itachi as all three adults looked at Itachi serious and he continues, "The longer the game goes the harder the last boss will be since he is gaining strength every day he is alive. The worst thing is that he is between you players waiting to arrive at the-"

"That should be enough information," says a voice that everyone recognizes expect for Yui as it continues, "I brought you here to administrate not to help them."

"I'm sorry about that father. I thought since they have-," says Itachi as he was silenced again and continues, "I understand. You four should leave. Forget about this room because next time I won't be so lenient on you all."

"See you then," says Nesiara still with a smile on her face as they leave the room.

They walked the corridor back and find themselves back in the Town of Beginnings. They arrive at the orphanage only to find members of the Army lying around the ground or stuck in walls.

Jack seemed to have done a cleaning for Thinker as John and Nesiara recognize them as the separatists when Jack says, "Oh, you are back. I was cleaning up you came a bit too early now I can't deal with them as I would normally do."

Thinker could feel the cold in Jack's voice and eyes as he knew if they didn't arrive at this moment the people would be gone for good. Jack then takes a closer look and says, "Ah, they succeeded in recovering you. I thought they had killed you giving me a better reason to wipe the guild out of town but it seems it won't be necessary."

"Thank you, I think," says Thinker as he was nervous.

"Thank them. Alive or dead it wouldn't have mattered to me. But now that you are alive you should organize your guild better before I do that for you," says Jack as Thinker salutes and leaves in haste when Jack says, "And put them all in jail before I change my mind."

Thinker now gone Jack turns to the family and says, "Well since you brought him alive I will hold my promise. But for that I need something."

He walks towards the couple and takes a hair from Nesiara and John and says, "Let's go in it would be better to do this behind closed doors."

They enter his office and Jack carries Yui while whispering to her, "Do you want to look like your mother and father as well as be as strong as them."

Yui nods and wanted to say it when Jack puts his finger on her lip and whispers, "This will be our little secret. Since you are my Great-Granddaughter you will bear the surname both will carry soon. You will be a Parker and Wyrm your parent will be wearing crowns that's why you will be named Yui Crownguard from now on."

Then Yui suddenly was surrounded by light as she began to shine and her skin became darker her eyes turned emerald green as her hair turned crimson. She looked like a mini version of Nesiara with the eyes of John. She was a bit taller than before as she was in Jack's arms.

The light dissipated and her parents could now see her appearance as Nesiara took her out of Jack's arms and asks, "It didn't hurt did it?"

She shakes her head as she could see she grew a bit taller as she examined her new body as she felt some power in her body she didn't have before and says, "I'm fine, Mama."

"Good since we are done here we should return home what do you think," says John as he stretches his hand out and Yui takes his hand happy as well as Nesiara while John asks, "What did you do to hear?"

"Make her your biology daughter that's why I took a hair of both of you. I just gave her a little extra since she is my Great-Granddaughter. She will unlock it once she is an adult," says Jack as he smiled at Yui who put her finger on her mouth remembering to keep the secret between both of them.

The little family then leaves for home when Justice pops out and says, "Something terrible happened to Kirito and Asuna."

"What happened?" asks John as he wasn't really worried they should be able to hold their ground against anyone in the game.

"Kirito got paralyzed by some poison and was almost killed by one of the Knights of the Blood if Asuna didn't arrive he would have died," says Justice as John was relieved hearing that nothing serious happened when Justice continues, "Asuna wanted to stop the rogue but he fought back giving them only the choice to kill him."

"There has to be more behind that," says Nesiara as she was more worried than John.

"It seems that rogue was in contact with the former leader of Laughing Coffin and got to learn from him how to mix the paralyzation tonic that he feeds Kirito and another member before killing the witness before torture Kirito and trying to kill him. Kirito in the end killed the person but he is still in shock from it," says Justice as both Nesiara and John knew that feeling.

The first kill isn't the best to stomach when John asks, "Where are they now?"

"Kirito wants to hide for now from everyone while Asuna sold her house and bought a new one on the same floor as you two. She wants Kirito to recover from what he is feeling right now," says Justice as John had a serious face.

"The best way to deal with it is head-on. The longer he denies it the harder it will be to accept what he did," says John cold while Nesiara hits the back of his head while he asks, "Why?"

She points down and John sees Yui a little scared as he calms her down and carries her while saying, "Let's see them tomorrow. See how they are dealing with everything."

They then enter their home and find Asuna in it in complete panic as they try to calm her down before they begin a real conversation.
