STORY

When Kirito and Alice both unleash the Perfect Weapon Control in the Cloudtop Garden, the impact rips a hole into the seemingly impregnable Central Cathedral wall, sending them both flying outside. Kirito immediately thrusts his sword into a crack in the outer wall, and he also manages to save Alice from falling. But even in such dire circumstances, these two enemies can't see eye to eye, arguing furiously. Kirito then proposes to Alice that they call a truce until they can get back inside the tower.
