[Maverick, Kirito, Asuna, and Koharu meet up with the group before entering the boss room]

Kibaou: Whaddya mean there are three bosses? First I've heard of it!

Maverick: We only just found out ourselves. If you are all partied up to face only two bosses, you might want to fallback and regroup first.

<Liberation> Member: If we stop here it'll be just what that Beater wants! Forget him and let's go.

[Asuna places her hand on her rapier. Maverick places his hand on hers and shakes his head. Asuna sighs]

<Knights> Member: We'll heed Maverick's word. This sort of intel can do nothing but help us here. Still, if the Liberation Squad is going on ahead, we can't simply back down here...We can't let them get ahead.

<Liberation> Member: Figured you'd say that. You're no better than these Beaters you love so much. Can't expect you to lead us.

[Maverick draws his sword]

Maverick: ENOUGH! I'VE HAD IT!

[Silence]

Maverick: Beater this and Beater that! I'm sick of it! I'm going on ahead. I'll beat all three bosses by myself!

Asuna: No you are not! You are waiting.

Maverick: Get a clue, Asuna. If you're in a party with me...stuff like this will happen all the time.

Asuna: Then I coming with you!

Maverick: I'm not putting you in danger. Why do you care so much anyway?

Asuna: Baka!

Maverick: Whatever. I don't have time for this! I'm going in!

Kirito: Stop with the edgy bullshit and think straight. You'll die! What makes you think you will survive?

Maverick: Because I'm the OP, badass protagonist of this story!

Kirito: Now you're breaking the Fourth Wall? Someone has to fix that!

Maverick: I'd do it myself but if you guys work together, you can do it. I'm going on ahead.

Koharu: Maverick, don't go through those doors. You promised me you'd stay by my side. Are you going to keep your promise?

[Maverick just stares at the group and then at the door. What will he do?]
