Picking up from last episode, the following morning, the girls are visibly tired from staying up into the night discussing Kirito. Suddenly, they are summoned by Bercouli. Seems Dark God Vecta has ordered the Pugilists and Dark Knights to scale over the chasm on ropes. Iskahn is furious to see his people dying in vain.
The Integrity Knights come charging up on horseback slaughtering those poor souls who happened to make it across. This is war!
Back on the Ocean Turtle, Critter has success syncing the Underworld and the Real World times. He sends notice to gamers in the U.S. to join a Beta Test with realistic violence and a PvP with life-like human avatars. No restrictions! (They seem to make Americans look messed up... can't say as I blame them, but there are definitely more good people than bad.) Yui sees what is happening and sends an urgent call to Shino/Sinon and Leafa. They head to Minato Ward in Tokyo.
Elsewhere, Lisbeth, Klein, Agil, etc. go into ALO to hold a meeting with many familiar faces in an attempt to convince Japanese players to help the Underworld.
The end of the episode shows Critter deploying 20,000 American players on the other side of the giant chasm.
