Chapter 14: The Final Battle-SAO Heroes VS the Fairy King Thief

January 22, 2025, Alfheim Online, the World Tree

Within the base of the World Tree, a vast legion of the NPC guardians are out in force and facing them are Usagi, with both of her swords drawn, Kirito, with his giant long sword at the ready, Chibi-Usa, with her twin daggers, Tomoe, with her large scythe-like weapon, and Mamoru, also welding his sword. Behind them, Leafa, Recon, Minako, Makoto, Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna were preparing their spells to attack NPC Guardians.

Usagi says, nervously, “There are a lot more than I remember.”

Chibi-Usa asks, with a sly smile, “Chickening out?”

Usagi responds, sternly, “Never!”

Mamoru says, “Remember, the plan everyone. We need to get up there fast.”

Usagi says, “I know. This is going to be tricky.”

Chibi-Usa asks, “When is anything we do easy, Meatball Head?”

Usagi says, “Good point, squirt.”

Chibi-Usa yells out, annoyed, “I’m not a squirt!”

Usagi says, with a smile, “You are to me.” Usagi then says, in a serious tone that’s not usually like her in the real one, “Now, focus, Chibi-Usa.”

Chibi-Usa responds, “Right.” Chibi-Usa thinks in her mind, “Man! I never thought I would see the day that I agree with Serena.” Soon after, all of them attack and cut through the NPC guardian forces one after another in quick fashion.

Recon says, amazed, “Incredible! I knew that Sir Mamoru and Lady Tomoe were powerful, but I never thought I see three more players just as powerful.”

Haruka says, “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch, kid.”

Makoto says, “We’re not close to being done yet.”

Leafa says, “Makoto is right. There are more coming down and in to attack.” To prove Leafa’s point, more and more NPC guardians come out of the ‘mirrors’ that line the inside of this ‘dome’.

Usagi yelps out, annoyed, “Oh, man! This is annoying!” The group continues to cut through them until they gasp to see a huge wall of NPC guardians in which they barrel rush them in which they manage to hold them off, but all of them are throw back, hard.

Michiru says, “Now!” Soon after, Minako, Makoto, Haruka, and Setsuna unleash powerful attack magic that destroys a good sized group of them and Leafa, Recon, and Michiru use healing spells on Kirito, Usagi, Mamoru, Chibi-Usa, and Tomoe causing them to be healed, but then some of the NPC guardians focus their attention on them.

Minako yells out, “Everyone, it looks like we have been brought to the center of attention!”
Recon asks, “But why?”

Leafa says, “My guess is that they have different targeting programs than other bosses in the game.”

Haruka says, “Most likely, they know that they can overwhelm opponents with their sheer numbers, but if they keep getting healed, it is going to be a constant war of attrition that they might have a chance to lose, so, if they see any healers, they target them too since without them, there is no chance for the others to regain their health.”

Leafa says, “It looks like we are going to have to do something fighting after all.”

Recon then says, “Look, I don’t know what’s going on here, but this raid must be important to you, however, I don’t get why.”

Hino says, “We don’t have time to explain, Recon.”

Haruka says, “You don’t know the ‘dark truth’ behind this place, but all we can say is that ALO isn’t just a game and it never was.”

Recon asks, “What do you mean Lady Haruka?”

Makoto says, “We don’t have time to explain, Recon.”

Minako yells out, “They are about to get swarmed again!” Minako, Setsuna, and Makoto unleash more magic attacks against the swarms of NPC guardians against Tomoe, Chibi-Usa, Usagi, Mamoru, and Kirito, giving them some ‘breathing room’ for a brief moment.

Hino says, “This is insane! They can’t get an opening at all!” Recon then gets a serious look and he flies off into the distance.

Makoto yells out, surprised, “Hey, what are you doing?!”

Leafa says, “Idiot! Stop!” However, Recon doesn’t stop and he plows through the enemies and gets into the middle of a swarm of them.

Hino asks, confused, “What does that guy think he is doing?”

When Recon starts to chant another spell, Setsuna says, “That’s a dark magic spell and a powerful one.”

Makoto says, stunned, “He’s insane! That’s a self-destruction spell!” Soon after, Recon is engulfed in a massive explosion of light along with a huge amount of the NPC guardians.

Leafa says, “He used it knowing that the penalty is going to be worse than a ‘normal death’. That dummy!”

Michiru says, with a smile, “Got to say that his determination and devotion are admirable.”

Hino says, “Yeah! And it might be the lucky break that we needed!”

Makoto yells out, “Usagi, this is our chance!” Without hesitation, Usagi, Kirito, Tomoe, Chibi-Usa, and Mamoru head for the break created by Recon, but the NPC guardians regroup and block them with their bodies sending them back in which all of them yell as they are hit by multiple strikes while Usagi takes one in the back meant for Mamoru.

Mamoru asks, concerned, “Are you okay?”

Usagi asks, with a winch, “Do I look okay, sweetie?” Mamoru smiles while Michiru uses a healing spell on all of them.

Chibi-Usa says, “This is insane! Every move that we make, they seem to have a counter for it!”

Tomoe says, “No matter how many ‘holes’ that we make in their defense, they recover quickly!” On the meanwhile, Michiru is getting attacked by multiple NPC Guardians as she tries to heal the others.

Makoto yells out, as she bashes one in the face, “Back off!”

Minako’s ‘pet dragon’ unleashes small faces that burn the face of one NPC guardian in which she slices it apart and she yells out, “They just keeping coming!”

Haruka says, “We can’t give up! There has to be a way to beat this!” And just then there is a loud cheer and everyone looks to see a whole army of armored Sylphs just rushing into the dome.

Leafa says, “No way!”

Makoto says, “It’s the Sylph army!” Soon after, a legion of dragons with Cait Sith riders on their backs also appears in side of the dome.

Minako yells out, “Oh, wow! It’s the Cait Sith Dragon Riders! They made it!”

Soon after, Sakuya and Alicia Rue, riding a dragon, appear and Sakuya says, “Sorry we’re late.”

Alicia Rue says, “It took us awhile to get ready, but we’re here.”

Leafa says, “Sakuya! Alicia!”

Alicia Rue shouts out, “Dragoons, get ready to waste them!”

Sakuya yells out, “Sylph, prepare to engage the enemy!” The dragons that the Cait Sith were on unleash fireballs while the Sylph warriors unleash wind attacks from their swords that are devastating to the NPC guardians.

Makoto says, “Hey, Sakuya, thanks for joining the party!”

Minako says, “Thanks for the help, Alicia!”

Sakuya says, “There is no need to thank us. We can’t help to repay for what your Spriggan and Undine friends have done for us.”

Alicia Rue says, “Sakuya is right, Minako. The only reason that we are here is because of all of the money that he gave us.”

Sakuya yells out, “Warriors, forward to battle!”

As the Sylph warriors rush in to join the fight, Chibi-Usa says, “It’s amazing.”

Tomoe says, with a nod, “I know, Chibi-Usa.”

Usagi says, “I feel kind of guilty about this.”

Mamoru says, with a smile, “They are showing how thankful that they are to you and Kirito for all of your help and I think that it is only proper for us to show how thankful that we are for their help.”

Usagi says, with a nod, “Yeah. And I just know how to do it.” Usagi says, “Everyone, stand back!”

(Sword Art Online music ‘Swordland’ starts)

Usagi then starts to chant a spell and Kirito, Tomoe, Mamoru, and Chibi-Usa to fly away from her and this causes Kirito asks, confused, “Usagi?” Soon after the spell is done and both of Usagi’s swords are glowing in which she connects them and she leaps forward in which she sweeps her swords in a massive arc as a massive ‘blade of light’ comes from her swords causing massive amounts of the NPC guardians to vaporize nearly instantly and surprising everyone.

Leafa says, stunned, “No way!”

Alicia Rue says, awe-struck, “Incredible!”

Hino asks, “Where did Meatball Head learn that kind of powerful light spell?!”

Minako asks, confused, “You are asking me?”

Sakuya shouts out, “Now, everyone! This is our chance!” Encouraged by this turn of events, the Sylphs and Cait Sith charge in hard and fast, but the legions of NPC guardians manage to recover and when Sakuya gives out commands to her forces, the NPC guardians seem to recognize her as a leader and prepare to attack her in which she prepares to draw her kitana, but Leafa beats her to and cuts down the NPC guardians that attempt to strike her in which Sakuya smiles at this. Soon after, Leafa, Minako, Makoto, Hino, Haruka, Michiru, and Setsuna join up with Kirito, Chibi-Usa, Mamoru, Tomoe, and Usagi.

Haruka asks, “Are you okay, Firefly?”

Tomoe says, “I’m fine, Haruka-papa.”

Hino says, “This is it, everyone! We have to hit them hard and now!”

Makoto says, “Got that right!”

Kirito says, “Sugu, watch my back!”

Leafa responds, “You got it!” Soon enough, they start to fight hard and fight fast in which our group, aided by the Sylph and Cait Sith forces, is beating the NPC guardians, but the mirrors continue to produce more and more despite the guardians being hard pressed. Another opening is made and Kirito, Mamoru, and the Sailor Scouts head for it and the NPC Guardians attempt to block it.

Haruka says, “Not this time!”

Mamoru says, “Kirito! Usagi!” Mamoru extends his sword out in which Kirito over his with Usagi put her on theirs and Haruka creates a wind barrier in which all of them charge up with Kirito, Usagi, and Mamoru leading the way in which the NPC Guardians try to stop them, but Kirito’s, Usagi’s, and Mamoru’s combined powers and efforts allow them to bust through the NPC Guardians and get through their ‘blockade’ on their way to the top of the dome with the rest of the Sailor Scouts in their group following quickly behind.

Sakuya smiles at this and she commands, “We’re pulling back!” All of the Sylph and Cait Sith forces withdraw with Leafa joining them in the withdrawal.

Leafa thinks in her mind, “Keep flying, brother. Good luck to you and Usagi, Kirito.” On the meanwhile, at the top of the dome above the clouds, Kirito, Mamoru, and the others are standing at the door AKA the top of the dome.

(Sword Art Online music ‘Swordland’ ends)

Kirito asks, “Now what?”

Mamoru says, “We had a feeling that this could happen.”

Kirito says, “Hey, Yui!”

Yui comes out and asks, “Yes, daddy!” She touches the ‘door’ and she says, “Daddy, something strange is going on. This door isn’t locked by a quest flag. It’s locked by the system administrator. This door was never meant to be opened by a player!”

Kirito and Usagi gasp and Hino says, “We knew it!” Soon after, new NPC guardians were coming from the mirrors near the door and preparing to swarm.

Usagi asks, nervously, “Now what?”

Haruka says, “The card that contains the system administration code!”

There are gasps and Setsuna asks, “Remember the card that Yui mentioned contained a system administration code?”

Kirito says, “You’re right!” Kirito takes out the card from his pocket and he yells out, “Yui, use this! Hurry!” Yui flies up, ‘absorbs’ the card into herself, and she goes over to the door.

Yui says, “I’m going to input the code right now!” She inputs the code into the door and the door starts to open immediately.

Minako yells out, excitedly, “It worked!”

Makoto says, excitedly, “Awesome!”

After they fly up a bit after the door opens, Yui says, “Everyone! We’re going to teleport! Hang onto daddy! Daddy, hold onto me!” Kirito extends his hand in which Yui grabs it, Usagi and Mamoru grabs onto Kirito’s back and everyone else holds onto Usagi and Mamoru directly or indirectly in which all of them are engulfed in a bright light. Yui calls out, “Daddy! Daddy!” Everyone opens their eyes and they look to find themselves inside of some kind of corridor while Yui is back to her ‘regular form’ of a little girl with a simple white dress.

Kirito asks, “What is this place?”

Yui responds, “I don’t know. There is no mapping data.”

Kirito asks, “Do you know where Asuna is?”

Yui says, with a nod, “Yes. She is very close in fact.”

Hino says, “Good, but hold on before you run off.” Hino then activates her player menu and creates what looks like an SAO Corridor Crystal.”

Usagi says, “That looks like a Corridor Crystal from SAO.”

Hino says, “Didn’t Ami-chan mention that Meatball Head? Anyway, let’s hope that she isn’t doing anything important right now.” Hino activates the crystal and it creates a portal in which, after a few second, Mizuno goes through the portal which closes behind her.

Minako says, with a sly grin on her lips, “Welcome to the party!”

Makoto asks, “Hope we didn’t interrupt anything important?”

Mizuno responds, with a smile, “Not really.” Mizuno asks, “What is this place?”

Makoto says, showing a proud smile, “Welcome to the inside of the World Tree.”

Mizuno asks, shocked, “You made it?”

Minako says, with a smile, “Yep!”

Mamoru says, “Okay, everyone. We have got plenty of work to do.” Everyone’s faces become serious and he says, “We need to split up. Some of us need to go with Kirito to find Asuna since he is Sugou’s ‘prime prisoner’ while the rest of us go find the rest of the SAO players. Most likely, they are in some kind of lab since he is using for who know what kind of inhuman experiments.” Plenty of the others sneer at this and Mamoru says, “I think that Mizuno and Setsuna should be in the group to look for the other SAO players and get them out of there.”

Setsuna says, “Wise idea.”

Usagi says, “I’m going with Kirito and Yui to find Asuna.”

Chibi-Usa says, “Not without me, you aren’t!”

Mamoru says, “Same here.”

Tomoe says, “I’ll go with you.”

Michiru says, “Haruka and I will join you.”

Hino says, “It means the rest of us find that lab wherever it is.”

Minako says, pointing to a map, “I think that could help.” Everyone looks to see a map nearby and Mizuno looks it over to find the lab.

Mizuno says, “I’ve found it! I know how to get there from here.”

Kirito says, with a nod, “Okay, we’ll leave the other SAO players to you.”

Usagi asks Yui, “Yui, do you know where your mommy is?”

Yui responds, nodding her head, “Yes, Auntie Usagi! Follow me!” Soon after, Kirito, Mamoru, Usagi, Chibi-Usa, Tomoe, Haruka, and Michiru take off to find Asuna while the others use the knowledge from the map to head for the lab where they believe, correctly, the other SAO players are being held. With Kirito’s group, they race across the hallway in which Yui creates ‘holes’ in the walls to allow them to pass through and lead them ‘outside’ where they see the skies and clouds from the road-like branches of the World Tree.

Kirito asks, “Is this it? This is the top of the World Tree?”

Haruka says, with a sneer, “Thought so. This was just all one big façade to cover up his sick actions.”

Mamoru says, with a sneer, “The players are just pawns to cover his evil tracks.”

Kirito says, with an angered sneer, “There was never any ‘Grand Quest’. That lying manipulative freak is going to pay using all of the players of this game for his sick ends.” Yui gently tugs on Kirito’s sleeve and he says, “Yeah, we need to save Asuna first.”

Haruka says, “And then we can kick his ass.”

Michiru says, “Hopefully, Ami-chan can gather enough evidence to get Sugou arrested.”

Usagi says, “I know so. Ami-chan can do anything. Now, let’s go.” Soon after, the group runs along the path to the bird cage and when they get there, at what looks like late afternoon, they stop at the edge of the cage where Asuna is lying her head down on her bed.

Yui shouts out, “Mommy!” Asuna’s head perks up and she looks to see Yui, Kirito, Usagi, Mamoru, Chibi-Usa, Tomoe, Haruka, and Michiru in which Asuna starts to shed tears of joy as Yui breaks the bars of the cage and she yells out, leaping into Asuna’s arms, “Mommy!”

Asuna shouts out, excitedly, “Yui!”

Asuna hugs her ‘daughter’ and she says, “Yui, it’s really you!”

Yui says, excitedly, “Mommy! Mommy!”

The others enter the room and Usagi asks, with a smile, “It seems like you are still living the ‘high life’, Asuna. Through I doubt that this is what you meant.”

Asuna says, wiping her tears, “Yeah, I know, Usagi.” Asuna says, looking at Kirito, “Kirito.”

Kirito says, with a warm smile, “Hey, Asuna.” Kirito goes over and embraces Asuna with Yui in-between them in which the others smile warmly. Kirito tells her, “Sorry that I took so long.”

Asuna responds, warmly, “No, it’s okay. I knew that you and Usagi would come for me. I knew that you, two, would never stop.”

Usagi replies, with a warm smile, “I would never abandon a friend, Asuna.”

Tomoe says, with a warm smile, “It’s wonderful.”

Haruka says, “We should get going.”

Kirito says, “Good idea.” Kirito asks Asuna, “Ready to go home?” Asuna nods her head and Kirito asks, “Can you log Asuna out from here?”

Yui responds, “No, I can’t. Her status is locked by complicated codes.”

Mamoru says, “It shouldn’t be surprising that he would want to keep his ‘prime prisoner’ here.”

Usagi asks, “Is there anything that we can do?”

Yui responds, with a nod, “Yes. We need to find a system console.”

Asuna says, “I found a console in the lab…” But then there is a humming sound and immediately, Kirito, Mamoru, Usagi, and Haruka get on guard in which a vortex forms at their feet and everyone groans as they are being forced down to their knees.

Kirito grunts out, “Yui, what’s happening?”

Haruka says, “It feels like something just increases our weight... from pounds… into tons!”

Yui has violet sparks coming all over for her form and she yells out, “Mommy! Something… Something bad is coming…!!”

Chibi-Usa asks, “What… happening to her…?”

Mamoru yells out, “Yui-san, get back to your father’s NervGear! Hurry!”

Yui responds, “Right! Be careful, mommy! Daddy, I’ll be all right!”

Yui vanishes in a flash of light and Asuna and Kirito yell out in unison, “Yui!” Kirito tries to reach out for Asuna and the others try to struggle to get to their feet.

Usagi thinks in her mind, “I feel like someone put an elephant on my back!” Usagi and Mamoru try to reach other for each other, but all of them are forced to the ground on their hands and knees.

Just then a sinister male voice says, “What a surprise. The last thing that I suspect that I find in my birdcage is bugs.”

Usagi thinks in her mind, surprised, “That voice!”

Kirito says, “You have got to be kidding me. It’s Sugou!” Everyone looks to see Oberon, Sugou’s avatar in ALO, looking down on them.

Oberon waves his hand and he says, “I would prefer it if you wouldn’t call me in this world. I am his highness, Fairy King Oberon!” Oberon then kicks Kirito down much to the shock of the others.

Usagi yells out, shocked and concerned, “Kirito!”

Oberon looks at Usagi and he says, “You look familiar to me.”

Usagi responds, plainly while glaring at Oberon, “I get that a lot.”

Oberon says, “If I don’t remember you, then you are a bug not worth remembering.” Mamoru, Chibi-Usa, Haruka, and Michiru sneer at him for saying that to Usagi.
Oberon steps on Kirito’s head and Asuna shouts out, horrified, “Kirito!”

Oberon tells Kirito, “How do you like that? Wonder why you, all, can’t move? It’s a little thing called gravity magic.”

Haruka says, “Gravity magic? There is no such thing in ALO!”

Oberon responds, “Not yet, my dear, but it is due in the next update. Think the players will go for it?”

Chibi-Usa replies, sarcastically, “Yeah, it really ‘sticks’ to you, jerk.”

Asuna yells out, as Oberon steps on Kirito’s head, “Leave him alone! You are coward!”

Oberon asks, taking Kirito’s sword from his back, “Tell me Kirigaya or should I call you, Kirito, instead? How did you get here? I saw a strange program running, is that how you got here?”

Kirito says, “I flew up here with my wings.”

Oberon responds, “Okay, if that’s how you want to play it, Kirito. If you don’t want to tell me yourself, then I’ll ask your mind.”

Kirito asks, “What?”

Mamoru says, with a sneer, “Then it’s true! You are experimenting with mind control technology!”

Oberon responds, “Mind control, ha? Not even close! I have three hundred former SAO players under my thumb and thanks to their ‘cooperation’, so to speak, my research is eighty percent complete! My thought and emotion control technology is nearly perfected! I’m not going to control the mind! I’m going to do the impossible and control the human soul! It is the power of a deity!”

There are gasps and Haruka shouts out, “You’re insane!”

Usagi says, “You can’t! The human essence can never be controlled by an outside human force! There is no way that you can do that!”

Oberon says, “I’m not surprised that such a non-enriched mind as people like you has no idea the true depth of my work!”

Mamoru says, with a sneer, “We understand clear enough ‘Oberon’. You are monster…A fiend!”
Asuna says, with a glare, “You aren’t going to get away with this!”

Oberon says, stepping over Kirito, “And how is going to stop me? Maybe a Kami could help you, but there is none other…other than me!”

Haruka says, “You’re no deity… you are just a worthless coward.”

Usagi says, “You need a computer system for any power, Sugou.”

Oberon says, “Stick and stones. And they can do nothing for you.” Oberon says, “Before I tinker with your souls, let’s have a little fun.” Oberon snaps his fingers and two long chains with cuffs at the end of them come down in which Oberon snaps them onto Asuna’s wrists.

Kirito says, with an enraged sneer, “You bastard! Get away from her!” Asuna is lifted up and Oberon leers at her in whom he then increases the gravity on her causing her to gasp as she is pulled down while held up by the chains and cuffs around her wrists.

Tomoe thinks in her mind, angrily, “That monster!”

Chibi-Usa thinks in her mind, angrily, “That wretched fiend in fairy outfit! We have to stop him, but how?!”

Oberon says, with a sinister smile, “Excellent! That’s perfect! You can’t make NPC girls make expressions like that!”

Haruka says, angrily, “You sick son of a bitch!”

Oberon sniffs her hair and he says, “You smell lovely. How to replicate how you smell in real life was a challenge and don’t tell me how hard it was to get an analyzer into your room undetected.”

Mamoru thinks in his mind, “That’s just sick!”

Michiru thinks in her mind, her face showing a rare bout of anger, “That sick fiend!”

Kirito struggles to get to his feet and he yells out, “Get away from her Sugou!”

Oberon scoffs and he says, “Give me a break.” Oberon then shouts out, “Why don’t you stay down and grovel like a good little doggie?!” Oberon then kicks Kirito in the face and impales him with his own sword.
Asuna and Usagi shout out in unison, shocked, “Kirito!” Usagi and Mamoru struggle to their feet and try to attack Sugou, but the gravity field makes them sluggish.

Oberon yells out, “Worthless bugs!” Oberon then ruthlessly beats Usagi down and enraged Mamoru manages to draw his sword, but he knocks it out of his hands and knocks him to the ground with Usagi.

Usagi says, weakly, “We can’t give up…”

Usagi takes Mamoru’s hand and he says, with a nod, “I know, love.” The two of them try to struggle to their feet, but Oberon knocks them both down again.

Oberon takes one of Usagi’s swords and he says, with a sinister smile, “How sweet. The two of you can enjoy your pain together!” He then impales their connected hands with Usagi’s sword and he shouts out, “System command: Set Pain Absorber level from ten to eight!” Kirito yelps out in pain from his sword impaling his virtual body and Mamoru and Usagi yelp in pain from Usagi’s sword impaling their hands.
Chibi-Usa shouts out, horrified, “No!”

Haruka says, shocked, “Dumpling!”

Michiru says, stunned, “No!”

Oberon says, “Hurts, doesn’t it? I’ll increase the pain slowly so you, three, will have something to enjoy in the future. By the way, once it drops below level three, it will start to affect your body in the real world.” Oberon then starts to touch Asuna’s body in which the others look angered at this.

Kirito says, weakly, “Stop it, Sugou.”

Asuna says, weakly with fear evident in her eyes, “It is okay, Kirito. Whatever he does, he isn’t really hurting me.”

Oberon laughs evilly and he says, evilly, “I was hoping that you would say that, but I wonder how long your pride will last, my dear. Thirty minutes… An hour… Let’s see how long you can hang onto it!” Oberon then rips off Asuna’s top and Mamoru looks way out of respect while the others sneer at Oberon. Oberon says, “Once I’m done with our fun, here, I’ll head to the hospital to visit the ‘real you’ and I’ll set up a real big monitor to play back a recording of this. We can enjoy ourselves all over again and this time, with your real body!”

Pure fear appears in Asuna’s eyes and Haruka shouts out, angrily, “Don’t you dare!”

Usagi shouts out, with an angered tone, “Leave Asuna alone!” Usagi yelps as the pain coming from her impaled hand with the Pain Absorber reduced in level.

Mamoru says, with an angered sneer, “You are no god! You are monster… a beast... No matter what look you have, you are a fiend in the purist of sort, Sugou!”

Oberon asks, “What was that? Was that a flea I hear?” Oberon then licks Asuna’s face and he says, evilly, “Yummy! How sweet!”

Kirito yells out, enraged, “Sugou, you bastard! You are a fucking bastard!”

As he continues to lick Asuna’s virtual face evilly, Usagi thinks in her mind, “There has got to be a way! We’ve got to stop him somehow! Someway…Somehow! There has to be a way to beat him in his own game! There has to be!” Oberon laughs evilly at Kirito and the others as they look on helplessly as Oberon molests Asuna.

Kirito shouts out, enraged, “I’m going to kill you, you sick bastard! You hear me, Sugou! I’m going to kill you!”

As Kirito looks on helplessly, Usagi shouts out, “We can’t give up, Kirito! There is a way! There is always a way, Kirito!”

Oberon responds, evilly, “You keeping telling yourself!”

Usagi thinks in her mind, as she looks on helplessly while she remembers everything from her first day as Sailor Moon to end of SAO, “No matter what the odds… no matter what happened… I… with my friends… and loved ones… always found a way to come over the odds… even those precious to me couldn’t be by my side physically… They always helped me find a way! Just because he is the creator of this world doesn’t mean that he can’t be beaten in it!”

Just then a male voice shouts out in her mind and Kirito’s mind, “That’s right, my Moon Princess.” Usagi and Kirito gasp at the sound of the voice as everything seems to fade and there is only the two of them as the familiar male voice says, “This is just a system. You and Kirito have taught me the power of human will is superior to any computer system and the possibilities for the future.” The two of them then look to see none other than Akihiko Kayaba right in front of them.

Kirito says, stunned, “You are…!!”

Kayaba tells them, “Now, Serena… Sailor Moon, you must get up! Get up, both of you!” Oberon prepares to tear off the pieces of clothing that cover Asuna’s legs, but he then hears a yelp as a sword is being removed in which he looks to see Usagi helping Mamoru to his feet along with herself.

Usagi says, “Come, my love, we can do it.” Mamoru is surprised, but he nods his head as he uses his own strength to help himself and Usagi get to their feet and Oberon’s eyes grow wide while Kirito also struggles to his feet with his sword in his own chest.

Kirito says, “You are weak, Sugou. And the swords in SAO hurt more. Way more!” Soon after, Kirito’s sword falls out of his virtual body and clatters to the floor.

Oberon says, “Unbelievable. I’ve got a few bugs to deal with.” Oberon tries to swat Kirito back down, but he is shocked when Kirito grab his wrist.

Usagi says, “Bug? Now, I’m a virus that’s about to give you a system meltdown.” Usagi says, “System log in: ID Heathcliff.” Just then multiple menus appear around Usagi much to Oberon’s surprise.

Oberon asks, stunned, “What? Whose ID are you using?”

Usagi says, “System command: Activate administrative privileges and set Oberon to level one.” Oberon glows and a menu screen appears saying that Oberon’s administrative access has been restricted.

Oberon says, in disbelief, “An ID that outranks mine! I am this world’s creator…its king… its god!” As Oberon is ranking, the others get to their feet and Mamoru gets his sword.

Usagi says, “Wrong-o, jerk face!” When Oberon looks at the others, she says, “You stole everything in this world including the players that play it! You are only a ‘king of thieves’ and sitting on your stolen throne!”

Oberon yells out, angrily, “How dare you little wench?! You dare to talk to me like that? You dare?!”

Chibi-Usa retorts, with a smirk, “She dares! What are you going to do about it?!”

Oberon responds, strongly, “System command: Generate object! ID Excalibur!” However, nothing happens and Oberon ranks out, “Do as I say you piece of crap! System! Your deity is ordering you to comply!”

Haruka asks, with a smirk, “Does the words ‘Access denied’ mean anything to you?”

Chibi-Usa asks, with a sarcastic tone and smirk, “Look at the ‘supreme ruler of ALO’ now?”

Michiru says, with a giggle, “He looks more like a ‘commoner’ to me.”

Oberon shouts out, “How dare you mock me?”

Mamoru says, “Excuse me.” Oberon looks at Mamoru only for him to punch right in the nose and knock him to the ground. Mamoru says, with a deadly glare, “No one hurts my bunny ever.”

Usagi says, with a smile, “Mamoru-kun, you are so sweet.”

Mamoru bows in front of Kirito and he says, “After you, Kirito.”

Kirito responds, with a smirk, “With pleasure!” Oberon sneers as he rubs his nose and Kirito tells Usagi, “Hey, Usagi, his majesty wants his ‘royal sword’. Let’s give it to him.”

Oberon gives a confused look and Usagi shout out, “System command: Generate object! ID Excalibur!” Just then the golden sword that they saw in Jotunheimr, Excalibur, appears in front of Usagi and she takes into her hands, much to Oberon’s shock.

Kirito says, “A simple command generates a legendary weapon.” Kirito and Usagi look at each other and Usagi throws him the sword in which he manages to grab in shock while Kirito brings his sword back to his hand.

(Sword Art Online music ‘Swordland’ starts)

Kirito says, pointing his sword at Oberon, “It’s time to settle the score. The big match: The king of thieves versus the gilded hero!”

Usagi says, “System command: Set pain absorber to zero!” Just then the menu showing the pain absorber program appears and the scale goes from number 8 right down to zero.

The others, minus Kirito, are surprised by her actions and Oberon says, weakly, “No, not that.”

Kirito asks, “Is that a flinch? Cause the ‘other guy’ never flinched no matter how bad it got.”

Usagi says, “You should remember him. My uncle: Akihiko Kayaba!”

Oberon yells out, stunned, “Oh my god! Kayaba?!” When he looks at Usagi, he sees a child-like Serena Tsukino in front of her and he says, with a gasp, “I know you! I know you now! You are his meatball headed niece, Serena!”

Usagi responds, “I would say ‘nice to see you again’, but I would be lying through my teeth, Sugou. You are the same as ever, Sugou. The same weasel that always watched my uncle with jealous and spite in his eyes and always wanted a chance to outdo! Now, I see you trying to copy him, but bad news, buster, you just gave me the way to send your ‘divine might’ crashing to Earth thanks to my uncle!”

Oberon then realizes what she meant and he yells out, “I see! I get it now! That was your uncle’s ID! Why? You are supposed to be dead! Why do you keep haunting me?” Oberon swings in the air wildly and he yells out, “You were always like this! Acting all high and mighty! Taking everything that should be mine!”

Usagi replies, drolly, “Really, you piece of mega scum?!” Oberon looks at Usagi, angrily, and she tells him, sternly, “What was rightfully yours?! None of this is rightfully yours, jerk! He earned what he had gotten, good and bad! He was the one who developed the NervGear no thanks to you! He was the one who started the era of Full-Dive VR gaming! You were just jealous that he always smarter than you and always one step ahead of you! And that’s what you are, Sugou! Always one step behind and a brain cell short of an idea! None of this is your idea in the first place! This is a copy of Sword Art Online just given a makeover! You had never had an original idea in your own life and that’s what you are second best to my uncle! And once we expose you for the wretched little schemer that you are, it is what you are going to be: The ‘second Akihiko Kayaba’!”

Oberon yells out, pure rage in his voice, “Damn you! Damn you, you little meatball head wench!” Oberon charges right at Usagi, but Mamoru blocks his first sword attack and Mamoru then blocks another sword attack with a disinterested and irritated look in which Mamoru bashes Oberon in face again and he yelps out, in pain, “My nose!”

Mamoru says, “That was for attacking my princess.” Oberon tries to attack, again, but Kirito gets in the way, blocks the sword attacks, and then Kirito cuts Oberon’s face in which he yelps as he feels the same since the system isn’t blocking any pain sensations at the moment.

Kirito asks, in a deadly voice, “Hurts, doesn’t it?” Oberon winches in fear and he says, in a deadly tone, “But is nothing compared to the pain that you made Asuna feel. Not even close!” Kirito then charges in and when Oberon tries to block his sword attack, Kirito cuts off his virtual hand causing it to shatter into data polygons and the sword clatters to floor.

Oberon yells out, in pain, “My hand! My hand!” Kirito then cleaves Oberon in two causing him to yell out in pain as his lower body and legs shatter into data polygons in which Kirito grabs Oberon by his hair and lifts him to meet his face in which Oberon gives a look of pure fear in his eyes. Kirito then sneers, throws Oberon into the air, and then impales him in the head through his right eye causing the rest of his virtual body to shatter apart into data polygons while Chibi-Usa and Tomoe close their eyes to this sight.

(Sword Art Online music ‘Swordland’ ends)

When Chibi-Usa and Tomoe open their eyes, Chibi-Usa says, with a winch, “That had to hurt.”

Haruka says, with a snort, “Good riddance to bad rubbish.”

Mamoru says, “The Amusphere won’t kill him, but due to the pain not being absorbed by the system anymore, his body will most likely be suffering from the pain stimulus overload and his body might have actually gotten injured.”
Haruka says, with a sly smirk, “Couldn’t have happened to a better slime ball.” On the meanwhile, Kirito cuts Asuna down and she falls down to the ground on her knees and into Kirito’s arms.

Kirito starts to cry and Asuna says, “I had faith in you and Usagi, Kirito. I knew that you could save me, but I knew that both of you would save me. I always have faith in you. Always have and always will.”

Kirito says, weakly, “I don’t have any power.”

Usagi tells Kirito, “That’s not true, Kirito. True power comes from the heart. Not some kind of special powers or some kind of system. I’m not a hero because of my powers, but because of the power of my heart. That’s what gives me power, Kirito.”

Mamoru says, with a nod, “And that’s what gives all of us power.”

Asuna says, “Usagi and her friends are right, Kirito. You have great power because you have a strong heart.”

Kirito says, “I’m not as strong as you and Usagi think I am, but I’ll do my best.”

Michiru says, with a smile, “And quite the ‘humble hero’.”

Usagi says, bringing up a system administrator menu, “It’s time for you to go home. Everyone has been waiting long enough.”

Kirito says, “I’ll not too far from the hospital. I’ll be there as soon as I can.”

Asuna tells Kirito, “I want you to be the first person that I see when I ‘wake up’.” Asuna tells Usagi, “However, I want you to be the next person after Kirito, Usagi.”

Usagi says, with a smile, “I’ll be there. Promise.”

Asuna says, “It’s finally over. We’re finally going home to the real world.”

Kirito says, “That’s right, but much has changed, so, try not to freak out.”

Asuna says, “Let’s go places and have fun. Just the two of us.”

Kirito says, “Yeah. Real good.” Asuna hugs Kirito with tears of happiness in her eyes and Usagi then uses her system administrator menu to log Asuna out causing her to vanish in particles of light.

Tomoe says, with a smile, “We did it.”

Michiru says, shaking her head, “No. Usagi and Kirito did it, Firefly.”

Usagi says, with a smile, “I had a little help.”

Mamoru asks, “How did you do that?”

Usagi says, “I believe that HE can answer that. I think that it is time for you to come out… uncle.” There are multiple gasps and then Akihiko Kayaba appears above them and floats down in front of them.

Kirito says, “So, it is you. You are alive.”

Kayaba replies, “You can say that I’m alive in a way. Ultimately, I’m just an afterimage that’s the mind of Akihiko Kayaba. An echo as you can say.”

Kirito says, “And I have no idea what you are talking about.”
Mamoru says, with a sneer, “You have some nerve to show your face to us and to my beloved after what you did to her.”

Kayaba says, “You must be Darien Shields. You truly have shown that you care for my princess with all of your heart. It is an honor, but I doubt that you would agree.”

Haruka says, with a sneer, “Got that right, you ass.”

Kayaba says, looking at Chibi-Usa, “This must be your daughter from the future, Rini.”

There are surprised looks and Kirito asks, “Wait! Daughter?”

Kirito looks at Usagi and she says, nervously, “Heh. Long story.”

Chibi-Usa responds, nervously, “Real long story.”

Kayaba says, with a smile, “She gets her lovely looks from her mother despite how both mother and daughter deny it.”

Usagi and Chibi-Usa yell out in unison, with an annoyed tone, “There is no way that I look like her!”

The two of them look at each other and when she looks at her Kayaba, Usagi asks, plainly, “Why did you help me uncle?”

Kayaba tells Usagi, “I didn’t do it for free, my dear. There is always a price.”

Mamoru shouts out, angrily, “You have some nerve, Kayaba!” Everyone looks at Kayaba and Mamoru goes over and he says, glaring at him, “You have some nerve to ask something of her after what you did to her! You owed her, Kayaba! She absolutely trusted you and loved you like a second father! She truly believed in you and believed that you were going to make a new frontier for all of humanity! And how do you repay her faith, trust, and love? By betraying her in the worst way possible, you monster! You trapped her in a virtual prison while we, the people that love her so much, had to anguish and fear every day that she could die right before our eyes! You made her go through a nightmare that has scarred her forever! She saw who knows how many people die right before her eyes and that netherworld was created by a person that she once beloved! You! You, Kayaba! Do you know or even understand how she felt! The pain, grief, anguishes, and sorrow that you gave her?! Every single death torn into her heart and soul and even I doubt that I could ever truly understand her pain despite being the love of her life! And who knows if the wounds in her mind and heart will ever heal?! They may never! And now, you have the gall to call on a ‘favor’! She owes you nothing and you owe her everything! And if you have a shred of decency, then you know that I’m right!”

Mamoru glares at Kayaba and Kayaba looks back in which Kayaba says, plainly, “And you are exactly right, Darien-san. And this is the start of my repayment.” Just then a golden light comes from the sky and an egg-shaped transparent object floats into Kirito’s hands.

Kirito asks, “What is this?”

Kayaba responds, “The start of a brand new world. I call it ‘The Seed’.”

Usagi asks, curiously, “The Seed?”

Kayaba says, “Once it sprouts, you and Kirito will know what to do with it. You can delete it if you want, but if you and Kirito have any fondness left for the virtual world, you will take care of it. And now, there is this, my princess.” Kayaba then creates a planet-shaped orb which goes over to Usagi and he says, “I have developed many things in my quest to perfect Sword Art Online and the Full-Dive system. In fact, my dear sister, Ikuko, and your friends, Ami and Trista have already completed one.”

Haruka asks, confused, “What do you mean?”

Kayaba says, “You will realize it in time.” Kayaba tells Usagi, “This is the rest of my legacy. It is now your legacy to do with as you please. Call it the payment of my debt, but I doubt that it covers even half of what I owe you, my dear.”

Usagi asks, “Kayaba… What were you to me in the Silver Millennium?”

There are surprised looks and Mamoru asks, “What do you mean my love?”

Usagi says, “He knew about the Silver Crystal. It can only mean one thing.”

Michiru asks, “Are you saying that Kayaba also…?”

Usagi says, “I believe so.”

Kayaba says, “You may have more calculating mind that you gave yourself credit for, my princess. However, it is a story for another day. We will see each other again. Farewell for now.” Kayaba then leaps into the air, vanishes, and everyone covers their eyes as a light engulfs the room in which when they open their eyes, they find themselves back in Asuna’s prison.

Kirito asks, “Yui? Are you okay? Where are you?”

Yui appears and she yells out, “Daddy!”

Yui goes into Kirito’s arms and he says, “You’re safe.”

Yui responds, “It is like Mamoru-san told me to do. I hid myself in the local memory of your NervGear.”

Mamoru says, “I figure that since he stored her program in his NervGear, she would be able to go there.”

Yui asks, “Where’s mommy?”
Usagi says, “She is safe in the real world.”

Kirito says, “Your aunt is right, Yui-chan. Mommy is back home safe and sound.”

Yui says, with a smile, “Mommy’s back home? Thank goddess.”

Kirito says, gently stroking his ‘daughter’s’ hair, “I promise that we will be back soon. However, I don’t know how this world will last.”

Yui says, “Don’t worry, daddy. My core program is in your NervGear, so, we will always be together!”

Usagi says, with a smile, “In fact, my best friend, Ami-chan, can create a VR program special for her. She is one of the smartest people on the planet.”

Makoto’s voice responds, “Got that right!” Everyone then looks to see the others arrive on the scene.

Usagi says, “Hey, guys!”

Tomoe asks, “What happened?”

Hino says, “We found the lab and the trapped SAO players. A pair of slugs tried to stop us, but…”

Minako asks, slyly, “Extra fried monster slug anyone?”

Usagi says, a bit disgusted, “I think that I’ll pass, Mina-chan.”

Mizuno says, “Mako-chan and Hino-chan managed to force them to confess everything in which I was able to hack into the GM console in the lab room where I was able to free the other SAO players.”

There are gasps and Usagi says, with a smile, “Way to go!”

Makoto says, with a grin, “And we also got some sweet information about his ‘pet project’. It is real sick to the core and guaranteed to send him to prison for life and beyond.”

Haruka says, with a sly smile, “Perfect. Usagi and Kirito sent that sleaze back to the real world with his tail between his legs and we got Asuna-san logged out.”

Minako yells out, “Great! That means that we won and its game over!”

Usagi says, with a nod, “Yeah…” Usagi then rests her head on Mamoru’s chest and he gently strokes her hair.

Kirito tells Yui, “Okay. We’re going to log out now.”

Yui responds, “Okay, daddy! I love you!” Kirito prepares to log out, looks out into the skies of ALO, and he logs out after he kisses his daughter on her left cheeks as he vanishes.

Haruka says, “We had better follow him just in case.”

Hino says, with a nod, “Good idea.”

Mizuno says, “You go first.”

Usagi says, bringing up her player menu, “Okay.”

Yui tells Usagi, “Thank you, Auntie Usagi.”

Usagi responds, with a warm smile, “No problem, Yui-chan.” Yui hugs Usagi and she smiles as she hugs Yui back before she pushes the log out button causing her to vanish in a bright light.

January 22, 2025, Crown Arcade

Under the Crown Arcade and within the high-tech command center of the Sailor Scouts, there is a line of bed-like platforms in front of a massive super-computer where Darien, Ami, Mina, Raye, Lita, Hotaru, Amara, Michelle, Trista, Rini, and Serena are lying down with Serena using her NervGear while everyone else, minus Rini, are using Amuspheres with Rini using her Neuro-Linker around her neck while Luna and Artemis look as they see Serena slowly wake up and take off her NervGear.

Luna says, “Thanks goodness.”

Artemis asks, “What happened?”

Serena responds, with a smile, “We won.”

Luna asks, “So, it means…?”

Serena responds, with a warm smile, “Asuna and the other SAO players are free.” Soon after, the others start waking up one and after another in which they take off their Amusphere, but Rini keeps her Neuro-Linker around her neck.

Ami says, leaping to her feet, “It will take me a minute to get the data loaded into my computer.”

Darien says, with a serious tone, “We should get going to hospital.”

Lita asks, “How come?”

Darien says, with a plain tone, “Sugou isn’t a madman that will take defeat so easily.”

Amara says, nodding her head in agreement, “He has a point.”

Serena says, “And I agree.” When everyone looks at Serena, she says, “It would be just like him to take petty revenge since everyone else around him is nothing.”

Lita asks, “Then what are we waiting for?”

Serena says, “No, wait. Before we get to the hospital, I think that we should let Sugou’s boss see what’s going on.”

There are surprised looks and Raye asks, with a smirk, “Whoa, Meatball Head! What has gotten into you?”

Serena says, “I’m not going to just sit around and let the people that I care about be ‘pushed around’ not anymore.”

Darien tells Serena, with a warm smile, “We understand, Serena. Just don’t ‘push yourself’. We don’t want to lose the Meatball Head that we love deep down.”

Serena responds, warmly, “Thank you, Darien-kun.” They share a kiss and Serena says, clutching her broach, “Ready, Scouts?”

Amara responds, with a grin, “Need you ask?” The other Scouts hold up their transformation items and Darien holds his transformation rose as they prepare to transform and head out to make sure that Kazuto sees Asuna again without any ‘problems’.

January 22, 2025, Tokorozawa

At the hospital of Tokorozawa, as the snow falls, Kazuto arrives by the gate of the hospital and goes into the parking lot in which as he runs, he sees a figure come out and he moves to left in which the sounds of metal hitting flesh is heard in which we look to see Kirito’s right arm dripping blood from a slash wound causing him to hold the area of the slash and stumble to the side of a van.

Someone comes out of the shadows and says, in a familiar male voice, “You’re late, Kirito.”

Kazuto asks, “Who’s there?”

The figure responds, “I was waiting so long that I thought that I would catch a cold.” The figure is then revealed to be Sugou in which both of his eyes are red with the area around his right area looking scarred.

Kazuto says, shocked, “Sugou!”

Sugou tells Kazuto, “You did a very bad thing, Kirito. I can still feel the pain.”

Kazuto tells Sugou, “You had better turn yourself in. You’re finished.”

Sugou says, “Finished? Hardly. There are plenty of people that would kill to have my research and I. And once it is complete, there won’t be anyone or anything that will stop me. I will be the god of this world. But first, I’m going to kill you, Kirito.” Sugou charges at Kirito, Kirito leaps away to avoid the attack, but collapses to the ground.

However, before Sugou can strike, a familiar female voice shouts out, “Sugou!” Sugou turns only to get rammed by Eternal Sailor Moon’s kneecap to his face causing his head to slam through a window in which he slumps down and dropping his knife. Sailor Moon goes over to Kirito in which she helps him to his feet and she asks, “Are you okay?”

Kazuto responds, “I’m okay, U-Sailor Moon.” Sailor Saturn then appears and goes over in which she uses her healing powers to heal Kazuto’s arms.

Sugou manages to regain some of his senses and he asks, groggily, “What? What hit me?”

Just then a female voice responds, “Maybe you should ask who hit you, pal.” Sugou then regains his full senses and gasps to see all of the Sailor Scouts in front of him with glares of different degrees on their faces in which he reaches for the knife that he had with him, but a rose slashes his head causing him to pull back his hand and yelp in pain.

A male voice responds, “I don’t think so, scum!” Everyone looks to see Tuxedo Mask escorting an elderly man with wrinkles and brown hair in which he is wearing a brown business suit. Sugou yelps out when he sees the man and Tuxedo Mask says, “Sugou-san, I believe that you remember your boss, Shouzou Yuuki, who is Miss Asuna Yuuki’s father.”

The elderly man, Asuna’s father, Shouzou Yuuki, has an angered expression on his face and he says, “How dare you, Sugou? How dare you do this to me and my family? My family has turned your family and you for our lives and you do this to repay us?! By committing such inhuman experiments under my nose and holding my daughter against her will! I thought that my children were just blowing their distrust of you out of proportion, but I can see that they saw you for who and what you truly are, Sugou! The Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask have showed me your ‘research’ and I know that this is your work with your signatures on everything! You nearly destroyed the reputation of my company and my family and all for what?! To create a horror similar to the horror created by Akihiko Kayaba?!”

Sugou yells out, angrily, “Don’t you dare compare me to that fool of a man?! That fool only used his knowledge for his stupid game! He was too scared and too foolish to realize the full potential of the Full-Dive system! I didn’t! I knew the full potential of the system! And soon I had achieved something that Kayaba-sensei could never have! He may have been master of Sword Art Online, but I will be the god of this world!”

Shouzou says, shaking his head, “You truly are insane.”

Sailor Moon says, “You are no god, Sugou. You are just a jealous little man that lives forever in the shadow of Akihiko Kayaba.”

Sugou glares at Sailor Moon and Kazuto says, “She’s right. You think that I’m scum… I’m trash. Guess what, Sugou? Then you are less than trash and less than scum! You are worthless worm that’s going to where he belongs: In the dumpster to be forgotten!”

Sugou shouts out, “Damn you!” Sugou then charges at Kazuto, but a one-two punch from Sailor Jupiter slams him into the van and he slumps to the ground, unconscious.

Sailor Uranus says, with a sly smirk, “Night, loser.”

Shouzou says, with a bow, “Thank you, Sailor Moon. You and the Sailor Scouts exposed this… man for what he truly is.”

Sailor Venus says, with a grin, “You don’t need to thank us. We have some friends to thank for that.”

Sailor Moon says, pointing to Kazuto, “You can thank this guy. He and his friends, who we are well acquainted with, found out what happened and stopped him from inside of ALO.”

Shouzou tells Kazuto, “Kirigaya-san, it seems like I am in your debt.”

Kazuto says, with a nervous smile, “It was nothing, Yuuki-san.”

Sailor Moon says, “Anyway, I think that Shouzou-san’s daughter is waiting for you, Kazuto-san. Tuxedo Mask and I will escort you inside just in case Sugou has got any of his henchmen waiting.”

Sailor Mars says, “The rest of us will wait for the police with this piece of trash.”

Shouzou says, “As much as I would love to see my lovely daughter, again, I think that it is best that I wait here to make sure that this… scum is picked up by the police.”

Kazuto says, “Okay, but I think that Asuna would love to see you, again, sir.”

Shouzou says, with a nod, “I know, Kazuto-san.” Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, and Kazuto then enter the hospital and journey up into Asuna’s room in which when they arrive, they see Asuna, sitting up and with the NervGear off her head, looking up into the clear moonlight sky.

Kazuto says, with a smile, “Asuna.”

Asuna says, with a smile, “Kirito.” Asuna manages to lift up her hand despite being so weak and Kirito goes over to her, takes her hand, and gently hugs her.

Tuxedo Mask says, “Careful, she is weak as you were when you first ‘woke up’.”

Kazuto tells Asuna, “It’s over, Asuna. Usagi and I fought the last boss and the battle is over.”

Kazuto starts to shed tears of joy and Asuna says, “Sorry, but I can’t hear too well right now. I think that I know what you said. I know it’s really over and I get to finally meet you.” As Asuna sheds tears of joy, Sailor Moon goes over to a pen and paper on a note board and she writes out something in which when Asuna and Kazuto release from their embrace, Asuna looks to see the words ‘Good evening, sleepyhead’ written on the board, Asuna says, with a giggle, “Oh, Usagi-chan!” Asuna tells Kazuto and Sailor Moon, “Anyway, I’m Asuna… Asuna Yuuki. I’m finally home.”

Kazuto says, “I’m Kazuto Kirigaya. Welcome home, Asuna.” Sailor Moon writes down on another piece of paper and when Kazuto and Asuna look, they see it says: ‘And I’m Serena Tsukino. We’re all finally home’. Kazuto says, with a smile, “Yeah. Yeah, we are… Serena.” Kazuto then goes over and kisses Asuna on the lips in which Sailor Moon puts her head on Tuxedo Mask’s chest in which she looks at the window and in the her ‘mind’s eye’, she sees herself as Usagi, with her SAO outfit including her special white hooded cloak, causing her to look to see her ‘SAO self’ give a kind smile before putting on the hood, turning around, and walking away as she fades away from her ‘mind’s eye’.

Sailor Moon says, with a low smile, “Goodbye for now… Usagi.”

Tuxedo Mask asks, a bit surprised, “Huh?”

Sailor Moon says, with a warm smile, “I’m home, my love. Usagi, the White Valkyrie of Sword Art Online can finally rest for now and Serena Tsukino has finally come home.” Tuxedo Mask warmly smiles at those words and the two of them share their own kiss in which he knows that Sword Art Online, at least for the moment, is truly and finally over for his princess and that the true healing process can finally begin.

And that’s the chapter, everyone! All that’s left is the epilogue and I hope that you have enjoyed reading this story as much as I had making it! Personally, I really liked Sword Art Online due to the fact that it must have come from the idea of parents telling their children that if they play too much video games that they get stuck in their own world. A story in which that actually happens and more is kind of appealing to me, you know? However, even though this is the end of the story, it isn’t the end of the story series! I know… Spoiler alert! And you will see what I mean in the epilogue folks! Please read and review and please no flames! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
