What if Silica died in SAO along with Pina? AU.

Kirito didn't make it on time to save Silica, then she met a very odd person who told her to believe the impossible is possible.

Don't own RoTG or SAO just the plot!

"Pina...?" Silica cried out as she watched her only companion die in front of her as she held Pina in her arms, crying and begging it to stay with her as it dispersed into shards of data.

"Pina!"

She let out the tears as she felt a whole lot of pain hit her and watched her health bar go down to zero.

'Is this it? I guess I'll see you soon Pina.' She thought as she closed her eyes and dispersed into data shards.

She woke up to hearing Pina chirping as she chocked out the tears when she saw her dragon.

She held Pina in her arms as Pina rubbed against the tamer's cheek.

'Silica.'

Silica heard a voice above as she looked up and saw the bright full moon shining bright in the sky.

'Keiko Ayano, you are the guardian of Companionship.'

The voice said as she looked at the mirror of the hospital room and saw her SAO attire on and a new dagger on her hip.

She saw her mother and father crying for their daughter as she walked up and kissed their foreheads saying goodbye.

"Pina, let's go." She called for her small dragon as she walked outside in the cold freezing winter as she rubbed her arms to bring warmth.

"G'day Sheila," an Australian voice brought her attention to the left as she saw a human sized rabbit leaning against a lamppost which made her scream.

She fell back as she dropped her dagger and Pina was breathing small fire at the rabbit warning him as he stepped forward and helped her up. Silica picked up her dagger and placed it back in the sheath.

"I'm Bunnymund, but call me Bunny."

"Sorry about that, I'm Silica." She apologized and introduced herself to Bunny as Pina chirped and perched on her master's shoulder and rubbed her cheek, until a dark laughter was heard around.

Silica has her hand on the dagger handle and Bunny had two boomerangs, one in each hand as Pina growled at the shadows, Bunny growled as well as a dark figure approached from the shadows and laughed again.

"Pitch." Bunny growled with venom laced within his voice which made the Nightmare King chuckled.

"Bunny, I'm see you found another child to believe in you." He darkly said as Silica glared at him.

"He didn't make me believe in him, I died!" Realizing what she said, she clamped her mouth but not before Bunny was shocked at her words.

"You died? How?" He asked the dragon tamer as she brought up all of her courage and pulled out her dagger.

"Sword Art Online, and I also know a few tricks as well." She courageously announces as she sprinted to the Boogieman and used Fatal Edge on his nightmares.

He watched as they disappeared and she called her dragon to set a blazing fire on them. Pitch had saw the courage built up in the little girl and retreated for now.

"Look, North wanted me to bring you to the Pole. Hold on." He said as he tapped the floor with his paw and a hole formed below her and she screamed the way there and bumped into a boy with white hair and a blue hoodie.

"Ow, that hurt." She said as she rubbed her head to rub the pain away until she saw the boy and apologized for bumping into him. He quickly placed his hand on her head and said that it was no problem.

Pina flew into her arms and perched on her shoulder until a fairy came over and checked if she was okay until a man with a white beard came and picked her up and placed her on her feet as she was greeted by another man that was yellow, she was also greeted by the yeti, heck, even Phil had a soft spot for her.

Pina chirped at the elves as they gave her a cookie for her to munch on.

"So, kid, what's your name?" The boy in blue asked the young girl as she smiled.

"Silica, my name is Silica. The guardian of companionship."
