Digimon Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online: Shadow of Aincrad ❯ Prelude to a Nightmare’s Return ( Chapter 12 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Well, we
have arrived at the next chapter of the story and now, we are
starting what I call ‘The Dark Legacy Returns Arc’ in
which you may have an idea on what I mean, but you are going to
have to read and find out. Originally, I had another idea for this
arc of the story, but as I said in the previous chapter, I saw the
preview for the next Sword Art Online game known as ‘Sword
Art Online: Hollow Realization’ and I came out with this new
plotline for this arc of the story. Now, before I would start this
chapter, I would like to give thanks and credit to Belletiger and Kanius
and
Kanius’ YuYuGiDigiMoon series,
especially this author’s The
Invasion of the Rajita
story, for giving me permission to use the idea of Valkyrie Sailor
Soldiers and everything that’s a part of
them.

August 9, 2025, GGO, SBC
Glocken
Inside of the VRMMO world of Gun Gale Online,
GGO for short, we are inside of the capital city of the VRMMO
world, SBC Glocken as it is called, where we find ourselves within
one of the pubs where Dai and Akari, in their GGO avatar forms,
walk through the door and there is a massive set of whoops and
yells from the mass of players.
One of them shouts out, “Way to go,
Dai!”
Another one yells out, “Akari! You were
awesome!”
Akari says, nervously, “Thank
you.”
Dai says, with a grin, “Well, we did
just win the first ever big event in this world.”
Akari tells Dai, with a smirk, “And it
looks like I got one for the girls, Dai-kun.”
Dai responds, with a smile, “It is
because I let you, Kari-chan.”
Akari retorts, “Oh, really,
Dai-kun?”
Just then a familiar female voice says,
“Akari! Dai!” Dai and Akari then look to see none other
than Sinon, who is wearing now a desert colored military jacket,
bulletproof armor and combat boots of the same color and she wears
a white muffler around her neck.
Akari says, with a smile, “Hey,
Sinon!”
Sinon tells Akari, “You and Dai were
amazing out there. Both of you are the winners of the first ever
Bullet of Bullets.”
Dai says, with a grin, “I’ve got
to admit that Kari-chan managed to get one on me.”
Akari responds, with a smile, “One,
huh? Maybe we should have a rematch?”
Dai says, with a grin, “Anytime and
anywhere love.”
Sinon asks, “So, what are you going to
do now?”
Dai and Akari look at each other and Dai
says, “Actually, we’re not going to be part of the next
Bullet of Bullets, Sinon.”
Akari says, “In fact, while
we’re going to keep our accounts, we’re not going to be
here for a while.”
Sinon yells out, surprised, “Huh?
Why?”
Dai says, with a grin, “Well,
we’ve been here since the early days of this place and we
want to see how you guys and gals do without us ‘old
timers’ holding you back.”
Akari responds, with a smirk, “Really,
Dai-kun?” Akari tells Sinon, with a smile, “Actually,
Sinon, we started this game because we kind of ‘needed
it’.”
Sinon asks, curiously, “Needed
it?”
Akari replies, with a smile,
“Let’s just say that we felt that we needed GGO and
leave something behind and move on, but it turns out that we
didn’t. We had a great burden and while it isn’t gone,
we’ll on the road away from it, Sinon. And right now, there
are more important things that we need to do.”
Dai says, with a grin, “Yeah,
we’re kind of busy at the moment. So, get out there and make
a name for yourself! You have the potential to be
awesome!”
Sinon is surprised by Akari’s word and
she says, regaining her composer, “Thank you,
Dai.”
Akari and Dai bring up their menus and Akari
says, with a smile, “I can’t wait to see when you
become the best player in GGO, Sinon.”
Dai says, with a grin, “You go
girl!” Soon after, the two of them push their logout buttons
and the two of them vanish in stream of pixels leaving Sinon
shocked and amazement, but not just because of their
‘announcement’ to not participate in the next Bullet of
Bullets, the big event of GGO, however, what they said about Akari
said.
Sinon thinks in her mind, “Could Dai and Akari
be…be like me?” Sinon then thinks in her mind,
with a determined look in her eye, “If they are, then they have
found a way to overcome it and leave it behind. If they can do, so
can I. I will become the strongest of GGO…the ultimate
player…and finally, leave my past behind me.”
Sinon then prepares to go out to meet a friend of hers that caused
her to play GGO not knowing how she will be at the center of a
major event and battle connected to SAO, but that’s in the
future.
Sailor Moon Online: Shadow of Aincrad
(Sword Art Online opening theme music
‘Crossing Fields’ starting)
As the opening ‘scenes’ being, we
find Davis Motomiya, wearing an outfit similar to Kirito’s
outfit expect his jacket is flame designed and two swords, an
Elucidator and Dark Repulser, strapped to the sides of his waist
instead of his back, walking down a street and looking at the
sky.
Next, we find Kari Kamiya, wearing a pink and
red version of Asuna’s Knights of the Blood Oath outfit with
Crests of Light instead of crosses and strapped to her waist is a sheath for a rapier
with a pink handle and a pearly white blade, also walking down a
street and looking back behind her.
Then we see Suguha Kirigaya and her
‘alter ego’, Sailor Celestial, with their backs to each
other with ‘thin wall of light’ separating the two of
them in which the scene spins around as the two of them look at
each other where Suguha is at her home on her side of the
‘wall’ while Sailor Celestial is in the Moon
Kingdom.
All three of them are reaching out into the
skies and then the world around them transforms into center of the
Town of Beginnings for Sword Art Online in which the ground
crumbles around them as those that died on Sword Art Online and
more try to drag them into an abyss.
The scene then changes where Davis is
cutting through legions of ‘monsters’ from SAO and ALO
as well as youma in which a legion of Duel Monsters appears with
Davis having a dragon similar to Stardust Dragon and another
monster, Slifer the Sky Dragon, attack them with powerful
strikes.
Then Davis is fighting against Heathcliff in
which he transforms into the massive GM avatar that he used at the
start of SAO in which Davis lands a series of blows before slamming
him with Starburst
Stream, the classic 16 Duel Wielding Sword Skill combo. Soon
after, Kari and Leafa, Suguha’s ALO avatar, run at top speed
behind Davis and the two of them leap into the air with Kari
hitting the transformation Heathcliff with an attack that looks
similar to Linear while
Leafa does a forward flip and transforms into Eternal Sailor
Celestial, also wielding an Elucidator and Dark Repulser, in which
they glow with fire and wind power as Sailor Celestial prepares to
attack.
Then the scene shows Kazuto as his Sword Art
Online avatar of Kirito, Serena as her Sword Art Online avatar as
Usagi, Keiko as her Sword Art Online avatar of Silica, and Rika as
her Sword Art Online avatar of Lisbeth.
The scene then changes with Davis, Kari,
Sailor Celestial, Sailor Moon, and Kirito looking over the worlds
of Sword Art Online, Alfheim Online, the ‘real world’,
the Digital World, and beyond.
Then there are displays of Darien/Tuxedo
Mask, the Sailor Scouts, the Odiaba Digidestined, and
Kayaba/Heathcliff before it switches back to a scene where Sailor
Celestial, Davis, and Kari are standing in front of the
‘transformed Heathcliff’ with his back to their backs
and cleaved into multiple pieces before exploding into hundreds of
data polygons.
The final scenes show Kirito and Asuna, in
her Knights of the Blood Oath outfit, along with Sailor Moon and
Tuxedo Mask being watched over by Sailor Celestial, Davis and Kari
resting in front of a tree, and finally, Asuna’s Lambent
Light rapier, Usagi’s Lunar Excelsior one-handed sword,
Tuxedo Mask’s cane, Leafa’s ALO katana, and an
Elucidator and Dark Repulser swords are all together in a pile with
Neo Domino City Duel Disks and Davis’ and Kari’s D-3
digivices ‘attached’ to them.

‘Crossing Fields’ ending)
Chapter
12: Prelude to a Nightmare’s
Return
August 11, 2025, Tokyo, Akihabara
Today, we find
Suguha, Davis, and Kari inside a large mall area within Akihabara
district of Tokyo, known as Akiba for short, the electronic and
household good center for Tokyo as well as a center for video
games, anime, manga, and computer goods which has become
‘haven’ and center for anime and manga
‘fanatics’ also known as otaku. Right now, they are in
front of a place which has pictures of Amusphere and
‘bubbles’ containing scenes from different
‘worlds’ where there is a name that says ‘Future
Divers’.
Suguha asks,
“Future Divers, huh?”
Kari asks,
“Is this it?”
Davis says,
“Yep.”
Kari says,
“From what we could gather, this is the first ever
‘club’ detected to Full-Dive and VRMMO and they have
multiple branches all over the world.”
Davis says,
“Not to mention that it was started shortly after Sword Art
Online began.”
Kari says,
“Based on what we learned, I can’t really see it as
doing something so horrible.”
Suguha says,
“The founders of this ‘club’, yeah. However, they
have grown very large and there is always a chance for a ‘bad
egg’ like what happened with RCT and Sugou.”
Kari says,
“Good point, Suguha.”
Davis says,
“You know that this is just too convenient on us getting this
information.”
Suguha says,
“It is an obvious trap.”
Flashback; August
9, 2025, Masaki Shrine
Right now, we are
inside of the Masaki household within the Masaki shrine grounds as
Serena takes a deep breath and she is resting after her duel with
Kaibaman, a Duel Monster Spirit based on the Monster card,
Kaibaman.
Asuna asks
Serena, “Are you okay, Serena?”
Serena responds,
with a smile, “I’m just fine, Asuna.”
Lita says,
“Man! What a duel!”
Keiko says,
“And now, you are a Signer like your
brother.”
Amara says,
“I had a feeling that you were a Signer
too.”
Davis says, with
a grin, “That’s pretty cool. It means that we have four
Signers so far and two more to go.”
Sasami says,
“That Crimson Dragon sounds pretty amazing.”
Katsuhito says,
“It is Sasami. It is a mighty and noble dragon of incredible
power. In the Americas, it fought against powerful creatures of
darkness known as the Earthbound Immortals over five thousand years
ago in a war to decide the fate of the world. By its side, there
were five mighty dragons of noble and great power and they are
known as the Signer Dragons. Stardust Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend,
Black Rose Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon, and Life Stream Dragon.
There was another dragon, Black-Winged Dragon, but in the ancient
battle against the wicked demon, Red Nova, Black-Winged Dragon had
to be sealed away in order to save its life due to its injuries.
Now, all six Signer Dragons have been reborn into this world and
they, along with a new group of Signers, have been called upon to
defend mankind.”
Sasami says,
“Well, I think that Ancient Fairy is very
beautiful.”
Ayeka says,
“I have to say that while it may have been just a hologram,
the dragon held a spirit of nobility in it.”
Ryoko says,
“Who cares? It was a kick ass dragon that kicked that other
guy’s or whatever’s butt.”
Ayeka says,
“Not surprising that you would ignore the majesty of noble
dragon like that, Ryoko. Someone as uncouth as you can’t see
the beauty in anything and shows how ugly you really
are.”
Ryoko yells out,
with a deadly glare, “Want to try me
princess?”
Ayeka says,
glaring at her back, “Anytime, you worthless
pirate!”
Tenchi says, with
a sigh, “Here they go again.”
Matt asks, a bit
nervously, “Is this common?”
Tenchi says, with
a nod, “Yep.”
Davis says,
“Better make them take it outside before they blow the
house…again.”
Jun says,
“And my bro means that literally.”
Raye says, with a
nod, “I hear that Jun.”
Amara asks
Tenchi, “Need a hand?”
Tenchi says, with
a smile, “No, Amara-san. I’ll be fine.” Just then
Suguha hears a beeping sound and she takes out her smart phone in
which her eyes widen at see what’s on the screen of her smart
phone causing her to look around as she sneaks away. However, Davis
does notice her and he makes a motion to his girlfriend in which
she sees it too. Out of sight, Suguha starts to push buttons on her
smart phone and her eyes narrow.
Suguha says,
“I don’t like this. There is no sender. Just no
information at all.”
Just then
Kari’s voice booms, “What’s up?” Suguha
yelps and turns to see Davis, Kari, and their Digimon coming
towards her.
Suguha says,
nervously, “Nothing!” But before she could say or do
anything, Davis manages to snatch her smart phone from her and look
at it in which Suguha says, with a yelp, “Give it
back!”
As Suguha tries
to get her smart phone back from Davis, he says,
“Veemon!”
Veemon says, with
a nod, “Right, Davis!” Veemon then tackles Suguha while
Davis and Kari get a good look at what’s on the screen of
Suguha’s smart phone causing their eyes to widen
greatly.
Davis says,
stunned, “You have got to be kidding me.”
Kari says,
shocked, “There is no way.”
Suguha then gets
to her feet, snatches her phone, and she says, “You think
that I’m laughing about this? If someone is trying to prank
me, I’m really and seriously pissed.”
Kari asks,
“Doesn’t it have a sender?”
Suguha says,
“No. Not at all.”
Davis says,
“It has got to be virus or something. Get rid of
it.”
Suguha was about
to, but a real bad feeling came to her mind in which she asks,
“Didn’t you say that Washu character is a real
genius?”
Davis says, his
eyes widening, “Whoa! Whoa! Girl, you don’t know what
you are saying.”
Kari asks,
curiously, “What’s wrong, Davis?”
Davis responds,
“What’s wrong is her going to Washu and she is a Sailor
Scout with a super-duper power close to ‘divine power’.
Washu would love to get her hands on her and while nowhere near the
Kayaba level, Washu can be a little
‘extreme’.”
Suguha asks,
nervously, “Extreme?”
Just then
Washu’s voice booms, “Extreme, huh?” The three
humans and two Digimon yelp as they turn to see Washu looking at
them with a mischievous look in her eyes.
Gatomon asks,
“How did you get there?”
Washu says, with
a grin, “I have my ways.”
Kari thinks in
her mind, stunned, “I
can’t believe that she managed to sneak up on us without
Gatomon sensing her.”
Washu tells
Davis, who gives a rare nervous look, “Well, I hear that you
have gained your own Light Hawk Wings, huh? That’s
interesting to know.” Washu says, looking at Suguha,
“And this is the supposed legendary Sailor Soldier of
Reality, who bares one of the greatest powers in all of existence:
Etherion.”
Suguha asks,
“How do you know that?”
Washu responds,
with a grin, “You are talking with the greatest genius in all
of the universe here!” Washu gives a mischievous laugh that
makes the two Digimon and three humans quite nervous.
Suguha thinks in
her mind, nervously, “Something is so not right with
her.”
Washu says,
“Anyway, you wanted to see me? There is nothing that the
‘Great Washu’ can do.”
Suguha says,
nervously, “Well…” Suguha then displays her
smart phone and Washu’s eyes widen at what the smart phone is
displaying.
Davis says,
“Look, it has got to be a prank or
something.”
Washu says,
“I don’t think so. Not with the label that this is
sporting.” Soon after, we see what’s on Suguha’s
smart phone as it is displaying an image of a VRMMO known as
‘Sword Art World’ with a picture of Aincrad being
crossed out and that it belongs a group known as ‘Future
Divers’.
Gatomon asks,
“You know something about this?”
Washu says, with
a grin, “I told you that I’m the greatest genius
ever.”
Suguha asks,
“Miss Washu, can you please show us what you
know?”
Washu says, with
a smile, “Since you asked so nicely, follow me.” Soon
after, Washu escorts them to their lab in which plenty of the
others notice this in which they can’t help to wonder
what’s going on, but the main focus is Serena opening up the
chest and finding out what’s inside.
End Flashback;
Return to the Present
Back in the
present, Suguha, Davis, and Kari enter the place where they find
themselves what looks like the business hallway in which they find
statues of monsters, weapons, and such that you would find in
MMORPG.
Davis says, with
a whistle, “Got to say that they are
dedicated.”
Suguha tells
Davis, “Well, it isn’t too surprising since they are
real gamers especially MMORPG gamers, Davis.”
Kari says,
“Based on what Washu told us, they were started shortly after
Sword Art Online started and they were started by some of the two
hundred remaining beta testers that couldn’t get onto Sword
Art Online on that day that it started for one reason or
another.”
Davis says,
“They probably moaned that they were going to miss the start
of the retail version, but they didn’t know how lucky they
were at the time.”
Suguha says,
“They must have been shocked and horrified that the game they
were enjoying in their ‘sneak preview’ was turned into
an instrument of pain and death. These days, I can see why since I
experience what SAO should have been when I played ALO. It must be
the reason that they started this
‘club’.”
Kari says, with a
nod, “It seems like that Suguha. Washu mentioned that they
truly believe it wasn’t the NervGear that was evil, but it
was the man using it to perform such deeds. They believed that
Full-Dive and VRMMO are the way of the future of not just gaming,
but bringing the world closer together as one. It is the reason
that they actually got help from former Argus employees in which
their first attempt was to create a Full-Dive system without any
influence from Kayaba.”
Suguha says,
drolly, “We know that didn’t work out. I mean, the
Amusphere is actually based on the NervGear technology just without
of safety features to prevent something like SAO from happening
again.”
Kari says, with a
nod, “Yeah. So, based on what information that Washu
gathered, they started to work on VRMMO for the Amusphere and they
warned that leave VRMMO to companies like Argus is not a good idea
anymore despite the Amusphere being safer than the NervGear. In
their plea, they said that leaving VRMMO development in single
companies is a bad idea because like what happened with Argus,
there is a chance with the vast company, a ‘bad egg’
might get overlooked causing ‘another SAO’ to be
developed.”
Suguha says,
“And they had a point in which the ‘ALO Incident’
as what happened with Sugou and the original ALO which seem to
prove them right and their club flourished like never
before.”
Davis says,
“Add ‘The Seed’ into the mix and
boom!”
Kari says, with a
smile, “It isn’t just like that
Dai-kun.”
Suguha says,
“Yeah, Davis. Based on what Washu said, they got a major
infusion with former RCT Progress employees added to the Argus
employees and with that, they really took off. In fact, they have
‘branches’ all over the Americas and Europe too, not
just Japan.”
Kari says,
“Well, the NervGear wasn’t just here in Japan, it was
all over the world and in fact, the Amusphere joined in after it
was launched and the NervGear turned into ‘scrap
metal’. Based on what Washu learned, they are like the
motorcycle clubs expect that they aren’t like the gangs
formed from them.”
Davis says,
“Well, yet anyway.”
Kari says,
“They managed to get their income from creating expert
anti-virus programs for the Amusphere and all VR programs that go
with it to helping in the development of all VRMMO based on
‘The Seed’ to make sure that what happened with SAO and
the original ALO never happen. In fact, many of the current VRMMO
can’t go online without their approval.”
Suguha says,
amazed, “Wow!”
Davis says,
“Took the words right out of my mouth.” Davis says,
with a serious tone, “However, the kind of influence like
that is quite dangerous.”
Suguha says,
“Especially if they get a ‘bad egg’ into their
‘network’.”
Kari says,
“Based on what Washu said, it is the reason that they are
divided into so many branches and they spread the creation of their
own private VRMMO to the many branches in their club. If a
‘bad egg’ tries anything from a minor
‘inflection’ to an ‘SAO event’, they will
find out before it happens. However, they don’t seem to take
any chances. They have gotten into contact with the VR Division of
the government and set up a ‘hot line’ just in
case.”
Suguha says, with
an amazed look, “They aren’t fooling
around.”
Davis says,
“After SAO, it isn’t really
surprising.”
Suguha tells
Davis and Kari, “Okay, I’m getting suspicious. It seems
like these people have a ton of ‘safety features’ and
plans in the mix. The message might have been a wild goose
chance.”
Flashback; August
10, 2025, Kirigaya household
Inside of
Suguha’s room inside of the Kirigaya family household, Suguha
is going through her computer when she finds a strange
e-mail.
Suguha says,
“No identification at all? I don’t like this.”
Suguha prepares to delete it, but she then activates her
computer’s latest upgrade program creating by Sailor Mercury
in which Washu also gave her an awesome all-round anti-virus
program that made her computer run even better. When the special
anti-virus program says that it is safe and she activates the
safety features to make sure about that, she opens up the e-mail
causing her eyes to widen. Suguha says, lowly, “Wait! What is
this? ‘They are here. The lost souls await their heroes. They
await their freedom. They await on Aincrad.’ Is this some
kind of joke?! This is getting too weird.” She then clicks on
attachments in which it has screenshots like the one that she saw
on her smartphone and they are about ‘Sword Art World’
in which another poster as a crumbling Aincrad being replaced by
multiple shimmering golden versions of the castle. Just then
Suguha’s phone rings and she asks, answering it,
“Hello?”
Kari’s
voice answers on the receiver, “Suguha?”
Suguha asks,
“Kari, what’s up?”
Kari replies,
“Did you get a strange e-mail with no information on
it?”
Suguha responds,
“Let me guess: It has a picture of that ‘Sword Art
World’ from that VRMMO club, right?”
Kari responds,
“Yep. Dai-kun also got one too.”
Suguha asks,
“He did?”
Kari replies,
“Yeah. He had to hide it and make sure that Jun didn’t
see it.”
Suguha says,
“This is getting too weird.”
Kari asks,
“Should we tell the others?”
Suguha thinks
about it for a moment, but she replies, “No. I don’t
want to get big brother and others tense about what could be
nothing. Let’s just go and make sure.”
Kari asks,
curiously, “By ourselves?”
Suguha says,
“Look, I’m sure that it is nothing.”
Kari says,
“Suguha…”
Suguha responds,
nervously, “Okay! Okay! I’m getting a bad feeling! But
based on what Washu told us, it shouldn’t be problem! It is
probably my nerves over anything that has ‘Sword Art’
in its name.”
Kari says,
“When I saw that, I got pretty nervous actually. I just want
to see it to calm me down. Davis would say that since this club was
started by former SAO beta testers that didn’t get trapped
much like Serena’s brother, he would say that they are trying
to ‘stick it to the man’.”
Suguha says, with
a smile, “Yeah, I know!” Suguha says, with a smile,
“And I think that it is the case. They must have developed
this game to put the ‘final demons’ of Sword Art Online
to bed for good along with that ass.” Suguha thinks in her
mind, “Still it
doesn’t mean that a nightmare of the past isn’t in
there. Kayaba is within the ‘cyber-universe’ and what
if…” Suguha shakes her head at that thought and
she says, “Anyway, let’s go over and see if we can
‘join the club’.”
Kari responds,
“Right, Suguha.” Soon after, Suguha hangs up the phone
with Kari and looks at the poster in the mysterious e-mail that she
had gotten on her computer screen.
End Flashback;
Return to the Present
Back with Davis,
Kari, and Suguha, they are being escorted by a young man and woman
in business attire and they are inside of a meeting room where they
are left alone for the time being.
Davis whistles
and he says, “Not bad of a pad.”
Suguha says,
“Well, with the success that they have obtained, it
isn’t too surprising. They are more like a corporation than
just a simple club.”
Kari says,
“Well, all those statues says something
else.”
Davis asks, with
a sly tone, “Yeah? MMORPG much?”
Kari says, with a
giggle, “Oh, Dai-kun…”
Suguha responds,
“What did you expect? They are hard-core VRMMO gamers and in
fact, the people that started SAO had to be hard-core gamers in
general in the first place.”
Kari says,
“Yeah. I can’t believe that this kind of place would be
a place where trouble is starting.”
Davis says,
“Remember Argus and RCT Progress? It didn’t seem like
that too until the ‘bad eggs’ caused major
nightmares.”
Suguha says,
“Yeah, but I doubt anything that could happen here.”
Suguha thinks in her mind, “However, let’s just make
sure of that. And despite all of the defenses, there is also a
‘weak spot’ in any armor and you can exploit it if you
know where to look. I just hope that I’m wrong.”
Later on, the three of them hear the door open and they look to see
a young man of Asuna’s age with short brown hair and onyx
eyes enter the room.
The young man
says, “Hello! The name is Tokyu Ichiban.”
Suguha says,
“Nice to meet you. I’m Suguha
Kirigaya.”
Davis says,
“Daisuke Motomiya, but my bros and sweet-pie call me
‘Davis’.”
Kari says, with a
smile, “And I’m Hikari Kamiya, but my friends and my
Dai-kun call me ‘Kari’.” Tokyu shakes
Suguha’s, Davis’, and Kari’s hands and he sits
down with them.
Tokyu tells Davis
and Kari, “The two of you look pretty healthy from recovering
from comas and amnesia.”
Davis and Kari
don’t show it, but they are a bit nervous and Kari says, with
a smile, “We are quick healers.”
Tokyu says,
“Don’t get me wrong and don’t take this the wrong
way, but after what you went through, it is pretty hard for me to
believe.”
Davis and Kari
are a bit surprised and Suguha says, “You did your
homework.”
Tokyu says,
“With what happened over two years, you can’t be too
careful.”
Suguha says,
“I hear that.”
Davis tells
Tokyu, “I take it that you are a former SAO beta tester that
was one of the two hundred that ‘escaped’ the madness
that was Sword Art Online.”
Tokyu responds,
with a solemn tone, “Yes, I am. My avatar’s name was
Sokudo. In our language, it means speed. I had two friends that
joined me as SAO beta testers and I couldn’t get on the day
that the retail one started since my family was visiting relatives
in an area without Wi-Fi access. On that day, I had heard about
what happened and I was horrified. I tried to contact my two
friends and found out that they were among the ones trapped in
SAO.”
When Tokyu
stopped, Davis says, plainly, “They didn’t make
it.”
Tokyu says,
shaking his head, “They were among the two thousand to die in
the first month.”
Suguha says,
solemnly, “I’m sorry.”
Tokyu says,
“It’s all right, Suguha-san. It is still hard to talk
about it. Early on during SAO, the government came to us when they
learned that there were former beta testers that weren’t
trapped in the game and of course, we gave them our full
cooperation. They had figured early on that Kayaba wouldn’t
give anyway away that could signal trouble if he had fooled the
whole world. They wanted knowledge of our experience in the beta
test, so, they can know what the players are up against. We gave
them our experience in the beta tester, but we knew immediately
that’s what our experience was: A test version of the game in
order to get the final details done. We knew that the retail
version and the beta test version are going to be different things.
I knew that when I heard my two friends were dead within the first
month.”
Kari asks,
“So, you help found this club in their
honor?”
Tokyu says, with
a smile, “I feel that I am honoring them. When people started
to get worried about Full-Dive machines, we believed that they were
right to take away the NervGears. I mean, who knows how many other
people Kayaba could entrap in his death game, right? However, we
felt that Full-Dive were the most awesome thing in the universe and
it was the wave of the future for gaming. People have dreamed of
doing things that weren’t possible for multiple reasons, but
Full-Dive virtual reality actually allowed them to experience their
dreams and take flight in them.”
Suguha says, with
a smile, “I know how you feel, Tokyu-san. When I first went
into ALO and learned how to fly there, it was…I don’t
know how I could say it.” Suguha tells him,
“Personally, I can agree with you about Full-Dive and I feel
that you shouldn’t blame the machine. The machine was only
doing what it was programmed to do. It doesn’t know right
from wrong or what to do only what it was programmed to do much
like the game of SAO. You should blame one causing the NervGears to
kill people along with the game: Kayaba.”
Tokyu says, with
a nod, “I agree, Suguha-san. That’s why we believe that
having one single corporation develop Full-Dive games is risking
‘another SAO’ and we were proven right. I’m sorry
to bring back bad memories, but what happened with the original ALO
did prove our point.”
Suguha says, with
a sigh, “You have got a point, Tokyu-san.”
Davis says,
drolly, “No kidding. Kayaba and Sugou, those two jerks,
nearly destroyed the whole VRMMO and even the whole of Full-Dive
concept possibly.”
Tokyu says, with
a nod, “Yeah, we know, Davis-san. It is the reason that we
believe that there have to be ‘checks and balances’ to
make sure that nothing like SAO or what happened in the original
ALO could happen again. While the new Amusphere is safer, it
isn’t foolproof. While you can’t kill anyone with an
Amusphere directly, it doesn’t mean that it can’t be
done indirectly.”
Kari asks,
curiously, “You mean implant a mental command to literally
jump off a bridge?”
Tokyu says,
nodding his head, “Exactly, Kari-san. While the Amusphere is
a safer than the NervGear, Full-Dive technology is still very new
and its effects on people as well as the possibilities are still
also new: Good and bad.”
Suguha says,
“Got that right.”
Tokyu says, with
a sigh, “I just can’t believe that monster, Sugou, to
get loose. I thought that they would throw him in a cell and throw
away the key.”
Suguha thinks in
her mind, “You
weren’t the only one shocked when you heard this
information.”
Flashback; August
10, 2025, Cherry Hill Temple
Darien, the Moon
Kingdom Sailor Scouts, our Digidestined and their Digimon partners,
Jun, Suguha, Kazuto, Asuna, Keiko, and Rika are assembled together
as Seijirou comes up to all of them.
Kazuto tells him,
“Okay, we’re here.”
Seijirou says,
with a smile, “Geez, Kirito, why the face? I thought that we
had a good friendship going.”
Serena says, with
a frown, “Seijirou-san, our ‘relationship’ is
strictly profession and not personal.”
Seijirou says,
“Ouch! I thought that you were such an open-minded and heart
young lady.”
Serena retorts,
with a glare, “Live what I went through and you’ll get
a good idea on how much I’ve changed.”
Seijirou fixes
his glasses and he responds, “Now, what do you mean? Do you
mean SAO…Or your adventures as Sailor Moon as a
whole?” There are gasps from the others and Seijirou says,
with a kind smile, “Despite what little data that we got from
the SAO severs, it is quite telling including the names of the
people fighting on the seventh-fifth floor.”
Ami says,
“That’s not possible! I checked the
data…Unless…”
Amara says,
“This guy switched the data with an exact duplicate expect
for a ‘few pieces’ that he has kept to
himself.”
Seijirou says,
“So, as you may expect, this little piece of information is
with me and I made sure that I get to it first since I suspected
that a few members of my staff may be Sailor Scouts as
well.”
Ken says,
“And something tells me that he has plenty of plans in place
just in case we tried to get the information from him or do
something to his memories.”
Amara says, with
a glare, “Which is really tempting right
now.”
Seijirou says,
nervously, “Easy now! You should know that your friend has a
point.”
Amara asks,
“And what makes you think that we won’t make sure that
your ‘plans’ get to work?”
Seijirou says,
with a smile, “You should that in this situation that they
would ‘activate’ if I didn’t come back at a
certain time or if something very ‘unfortunate’
happened to me and my mind.” Seijirou says, “By the
way, Kirito, I did have a nice visit from your sister, Suguha-san,
or she would prefer the name of Sailor Celestial.”
There are more
shocked looks and Suguha says, with a glare, “I’m not
surprised.”
Kazuto says, with
a glare, “However, you don’t look like a guy that wants
payback.”
Seijirou replies,
with a smile, “Not at all. However, I hope that you will be a
little more ‘forthcoming’ when we meet in the
future.” Seijirou then says, gaining a very serious look,
“And to make sure of that, I came personally to inform you of
some horrible news. Sugou Nobuyuki has escaped from
prison.”
This hits
everyone look a bomb and plenty of them yell out in unison,
“What?!”
Kazuto shouts
out, “That sicko escaped?!”
Seijirou says,
“Believe me, I was shocked when I first heard about it and I
was screaming on how it could have happened.” Seijirou then
takes out files from inside of his suit and he says, “And
then I got these and trust me, if this is a joke, I don’t get
the punchline.” When the group looks at what’s inside
of the files, they are flabbergasted at what they see.
Lita says,
shocked, “Geez! It looks like someone took a big bite, chewed
it up, and spit it out!”
Mina says,
“No wonder he got out of that prison.”
TK asks,
curiously, “What prison, Mina-chan?”
Hotaru asks,
“What could have done this?”
Michelle says,
“That’s a good question, Firefly.”
Davis asks,
“Who would want that insane madman?”
Kazuto responds,
“The question is: What kind of unhanded and sinister people
WOULDN’T want him?”
Asuna says,
“That’s a good point, Kirito-kun.”
Serena says,
“I have to agree. While those companies that were in contact
with Sugou have backed down, but good, doesn’t mean that they
aren’t still interested in his evil
insanity.”
Seijirou says,
“And there are possibility of others that are interest in
such ‘insanity’, but there is no evidence to suggest on
that point. However, knowing a man like him, revenge is going to be
his top priority.”
Darien says, with
a nod, “With someone like him, I am not
surprised.”
Seijirou says,
“My superiors agree with me on that point and we are
preparing for the worst case scenario. However, we believe that
Sugou won’t go after either the Tsukino or Kirigaya families
just yet. He is a madman, but he isn’t
stupid.”
Serena says,
“No, far from it. And that’s what makes him
dangerous.”
Davis says,
“Dangerous and insane. What a deadly
combination.”
Ken says,
“No kidding, Davis.”
Tai says, with a
nod, “Got that right.”
Matt says,
“What can he do? His ‘research’ is
finished!”
Seijirou says,
“While that may be true, it is possible that he try from
scratch and he could have a good enough memory of his previous
‘research’ to add to that. He was obsessed with his
work after all.”
Serena says,
“Obsession and control is number one for that
monster.”
Asuna says,
nodding her head, “I agree.”
Amara says,
“However, it looks likes that he had some outside help. It
was either to rescue him or take to be used for their purposes.
However, we don’t who ‘they’
are.”
Davis asks, with
a suspicious glare, “Do you want us to get
involved?”
Seijirou says,
“Heavens no! I’m just giving you fair warning as a good
person should.”
Suguha says, in a
suspicious tone, “Really? Forgive me if I don’t believe
that.”
Seijirou
responds, with a sly smirk, “Would you have not keep yours
and Miss Tsukino’s secret?” Suguha growls as she
reaches for her broach, but Serena and Kazuto make a motion for her
to ‘stand down’. Seijirou says, as he starts to turn
away, “You have a right to think that I have my own agenda
and I do, but it would be stupid and just plain suicide for me to
endanger two of the most famous heroines of Japan. Much of the
nation, if not the whole world, would be down my
neck.”
TK says,
“That’s true. You are quite ‘beloved’ by a
good portion of the world’s populous not just
Japan.”
Mimi says, with a
nod, “If anyone put you, girls, in danger, the person that
did that would be in big trouble.”
Michelle says,
with a smile, “That’s a good point.”
Amara says, with
a sly smirk, “Yeah, it is.” Seijirou gets a nervous
expression from Amara’s smirk and Amara says, “Okay,
we’ll let it go for now…” Amara then gains a
deadly glare and she says, “However, if you do anything that
will cause Dumpling more pain, you will beg for death before
I’m done with you.”
Darien says, a
deadly glare in his eyes, “My love already suffered enough
from her former uncle’s actions and she is still suffering.
Believe me, I won’t have anyone cause any more
‘distress’ despite whatever consequences are for
me.”
Seijirou says,
nervously, “Point taken, Shield-san.”
Suguha asks, with
a sly smirk, “By the way, I wonder why someone still in the
military is doing in government…Lieutenant Colonel
Kikuoka-san.” The others are surprised especially Seijirou
who looks at Suguha with wide-eyes.
Seijirou tells
Kazuto, “You have a real smart sister,
Kirito.”
Suguha says,
looking at Ami, “Let’s just say that I have smart
friends in all sorts of places, Seijirou-san.”
End Flashback;
Return to the Present
Back in the
present, Tokyu is giving Davis, Kari, and Suguha a tour of the area
which proves to be the main headquarters and ‘branch’
of the Future Divers club.
Suguha thinks in
her mind, “I still
don’t get why a military man that’s still on
‘active duty’ is part of the government and in fact, he
is part of the branch that has to deal with technology. Something
tells me that his interest in VRMMO involves the creation of new
weapon systems and that doesn’t give me a good feeling in
which his interest in big brother and Serena especially since he
knows about hers and my identities as Sailor Moon and Sailor
Celestial. Just in case, I think that I will be working to perfect
my powers as the Solider of Reality and learn how to make
Seijirou-san…forget a few things.” As they
continue on, three of them then notice a poster for ‘Sword
Art World’ and they nod their heads secretly.
Kari asks,
pointing to the poster, “Tokyu-san, what’s
that?”
Tokyu says, a bit
nervously, “That? Well, it is our latest
project.”
Davis says,
feigning ignorance, “Latest project? It kind
of…”
Tokyu says, with
a sigh, “I know, Davis-san. There were plenty of us that were
against the project for obvious reasons, but we feel that if we
want to put the final ‘demons’ of Sword Art Online to
bed, we would have to do this. Plus, not only we will be honoring
our fellow testers and the other players that died for
Kayaba’s madness, we feel that we are showing him and keeping
him where he belongs: In his grave.”
Suguha thinks in
her mind, “Not as much
as you think, Tokyu-san.” Suguha asks, “But there
is more to it than that, right?”
Tokyu says, with
a smile, “Actually, there is. We feel that Sword Art Online
was indeed a radical and excellent change from your typical
RPG.”
Davis asks,
“Because there was no magic and it used just Sword Skills
meaning only hand to hand weapons type combat.”
Tokyu says, with
a nod, “That’s right, Davis-san. It was incredible
change from the typical RPG which had magic in one form or another
in it. We, the former testers, really believed that it could work
and like I said before, we wanted to honor our fellow testers and
the other players by creating this game. We know that this is going
to be controversial, but we felt in our hearts that we had to do
so. Thankfully, with the former Argus and RCT Progress employees,
we managed to get knowledge on SAO and with ‘The Seed’,
it wasn’t too hard to create our version of the game without
any of the death involved of course.”
Suguha says, with
a nod, “No joke, Tokyu-san.”
Tokyu says,
“But that’s not all. We’ve managed some changes
to make sure that this game is shown to be different from that
‘death trap’.”
Kari asks,
curiously, “What other changes are there to this
game?”
Tokyu says,
“Well, the original castle has been modified in which there
are now one hundred smaller floating castles with
‘castle’ being a ‘small world’ onto
itself.”
Davis asks,
amazed, “Really?”
Tokyu says, with
a nod, “And at the top, there is the Ruby Palace where the
final boss awaits.”
Suguha asks,
curiously, “We aren’t club members, so, do you think
that you are giving too much away to us?”
Tokyu responds,
with a smile, “True, but you are fellow VRMMO players and I
can tell that you understand how I and the others feel. And
I’m a good judge of character.”
Davis thinks in
his mind, “That may be
true, bro, but there is so many people with you that you might miss
a few ‘bad eggs’.”
Suguha asks, with
a smile, “Thank you, Tokyu-san. May I ask about the other
differences between this game and that nightmare?”
Tokyu says, with
a smile, “Well, we have added more Sword Skills including
Archery Sword Skills for example and we found that there were
special ‘Unique Skills’, Sword Skills that could only
be held by one player like Duel Wielding and Mimic. Well, they
aren’t ‘unique’ anymore.”
Kari asks,
“You’ve made them available to all
players?”
Tokyu says, with
a nod, “Yes, but these are very special quests that
won’t be available right away. They are going to be later on
in the game as you advance through each level going from one castle
to the next where they are assembled together in what we call
‘Aincrad City’.”
Davis says,
“Aincrad City? Sorry to be rude, dude, but that’s not
too original.”
Tokyu says, with
a nervous sweat drop, “Yeah, plenty of us said the same
thing, Davis-san.”
Suguha asks,
“So, other than what you told us, it is pretty much a lot
like the original Sword Art Online minus the death part,
right?”
Tokyu says, with
a nod, “You got it.”
Kari says, with a
smile, “Well, I think that it is great that you are honoring
your former ‘comrades’ and the other players that
suffered because of Kayaba.”
Tokyu says,
nodding and smiling, “Thank you, Kari-san. We believe that we
are also honoring them by doing especially the friends that I lost
to that asshole.”
Tokyu’s
hands turn into fists and Suguha thinks in her mind, “I can tell that he has truly
lost friends to that jerk. He really believes in VRMMO and what he
is doing here. If there are some kind of ‘bad eggs’
around here, they might ruin his dream and the dreams of those that
founded this club. Well, I’m not going to let that happen. I
swore that I never let ‘another Sword Art Online’ or
‘another Kayaba’ to ever emerge and I’m going to
do my best to make sure that Tokyu-san’s dream and club
don’t get used for evil purposes.” As Kari, Davis,
and Suguha continue to take the tour with Tokyu, they don’t
notice that the security cameras are focusing on them.
August 14, 2025, Kirigaya
household
Inside of the
Kirigaya home, we find Suguha inside of her room in which she is
holding an Amusphere game card that’s titled ‘Sword Art
World’ on it causing her to sigh.
Suguha looks at a
picture of Kazuto and herself and she thinks, “I’m sorry, big brother.
But you, Serena, and the others are still putting your lives back
together after SAO and all of this isn’t helping at all. I
wish that Davis and Kari wouldn’t come along since they are
getting their lives back together after being here only days after
returning from Rainbow Gardens, but they are stubborn. It must run
in the families for all of our sakes. If you knew about this, you
would be insisting to go with us if you couldn’t convince us
to back off. And with our luck, the others would be joining us. I
can’t let that happen. You’ve been already through too
much. I know that this is selfish, but after what Kayaba had done,
you deserve everything and something tells me, I bring these final
‘monsters’ to bed.” Suguha then puts the card
into her Amusphere rig, lies down on her bed, puts the Amusphere
over her head, and once it is ready, she says, “Link
start!” Soon after, her worlds turns into rainbow of colors
as she sets off into another virtual world.
August 14, 2025, Sword Art World, Level
1
Inside of the
world of Sword Art World, a new player teleports in and we find
that she is as tall as Leafa with Leafa’s blond hair and
hairstyle, but she has human ears and her facial shape and eyes are
perfect match for Suguha in which she is wearing a simple green
sleeveless dress, green-brown fingerless gloves, a small one-handed
sword attached to the left side of her skirt, and black boots that
goes up to half of her lower legs. She blinks a few times and she
looks around as well as looking at health bar in front of her
virtual eyes which has the name Leafa, a health bar, and her
current level on the lower right side of the health bar which
displays her level as level one. As Leafa looks around, she finds
thousands upon thousands of players overflowing and going around a
city that looks exactly like the Town of Beginnings in
SAO.
The player,
obviously Suguha’s Sword Art World avatar of Leafa, looks
around and she thinks, “This is…It looks exactly
like the vision that I saw about the first day of Sword Art
Online!” She starts to walk around and sees the sights
causing her to think, “Man! This exactly looks like
the Town of Beginnings on New Aincrad in ALO, but then again, like
this game, the Aincrad of ALO was based a lot on the original
Aincrad of SAO. I’m just so amazed at how much it looks
alike.” She then looks at a nearby window, she sees her
reflection, and she thinks, amazed, “Is that me?!” Leafa
looks over herself and she thinks, “Whoa! This is really freaky!
My avatar looks like a combination of Leafa and my real life self!
Those are my eyes…Suguha Kiriguya’s eyes with
Leafa’s hair! Well, I’ve got to say not bad, but then
again, this is starter equipment anyway, so, I shouldn’t have
expected much.”
Just then a
female voice shout out, “Leafa!” Leafa turns around to
see two players, a male and a female, running towards and stopping
in front of her.
The female player
looks a lot like Kari, but her eyes are blue like Akari’s
eyes, light pink lips, and she has on a simple pink sleeveless
dress, brown kneepads, and brown shoes with a weapon that looks
like an Iron Rapier from SAO attached to her waist.
The male player
looks a lot like Davis, but his spiky hair is a fiery red while his
eyes are exactly like Davis’ eyes in which he is wearing
fiery red shirt with a brown leather chest plate over the shirt,
dark blue jeans, and black sneakers with the same kind of small
one-handed sword attached to a belt in a sheath across his
waist.
Leafa asks,
surprised, “Davis? Kari?”
The female player
responds, in Kari’s voice, “Yes and no. We’re Dai
and Akari here, remember?”
Leafa says, with
a smile, “Yeah, you’re right.”
The male player,
Davis’ new Sword Art World avatar of Dai, says, with a
whistle, “This place looks exactly like Town of Beginnings on
New Aincrad.”
Leafa says,
“Considering this one and New Aincrad are based on the
original from you-know-what, it isn’t too surprising, but
I’m still amazed at it.”
Dai says,
“Man! There are a lot of players here!”
The female
player, Kari’s new Sword Art World avatar of Akari, says,
“I get what you are saying, Dai-kun. However, you have to
remember this game was made in their club and all of these players
are club members.”
Leafa says,
“Of which we are members of.”
Dai and Akari nod
their heads in agreement and the two of them look around causing
Akari to say, “It doesn’t look like anything strange is
happening.” However, after the three of them take three
steps, the whole image of the virtual world becomes blank and white
all around.
Dai tells Akari,
“You were saying, Akari-chan?”
Leafa says,
“Oh, boy.” They look around, but it seems like
everything and everyone, other than Leafa, Dai, and Akari, have
become black and white until they see someone that looks like a 14
year old girl with short violet hair, light blue eyes, and wearing
blue-green and white dress with brown sandals is looking at
them.
Dai asks,
“Huh?”
The young girl
says, in an emotionless voice, “You have
come.”
Leafa asks,
surprised, “What?”
The young girl
says, emotionlessly, “There is great danger here. You must be
careful, but the souls of the lost ones cry out here. They need
their heroes and you have heard and answered their call. The
bearers of the power of the dragon and eye of the Norse Ruins, but
there are things that you can’t see. Be careful of the evil
within.”
Kari asks,
confused, “What do you mean?”
As the mysterious
girl starts to fade away, Leafa says, pleadingly,
“Wait!” However, before she can move, the girl vanishes
and everything returns to normal in which Leafa, Dai, and Akari
look at each other and immediately take off to an alleyway where
they can be alone.
Dai asks,
“Did everyone see that?”
Akari says, with
a nod, “We did, Dai-kun.”
Leafa says,
“That girl…I saw her before…”
Dai and Akari
give looks of surprise and Dai asks, nervously, “You did?
Where?”
When Leafa
explains about her dream, Akari says, “Okay, things are
getting weird.”
Dai asks,
“When have they been ‘normal’ of
us?”
Akari says, with
a nod, “Good point, Dai-kun.”
Leafa says,
“That’s the same girl from my dream. But I don’t
get why no one saw her or heard her. It was like we were taken to
‘another zone’ in this virtual world for a
while.”
Dai asks,
“Are you sure that we weren’t
‘hallucinating’ or something?”
Akari asks,
“How can you ‘hallucinate’ in a virtual world,
Dai-kun?”
Dai says,
“Well, the Amusphere is sending signals to your brain right?
It could send imagines to your eyes and ears making you ‘see
things’ kind of like what’s happening now and in other
Full-Dive games.”
Leafa says,
“While you have a good point, Dai. I don’t think
that’s some kind of ‘virtual
illusion’.”
Akari says,
“Same here.”
Dai says,
“Ditto. There is something ‘weird’ happening
around here.”
Leafa asks,
“And what did she mean the ‘bearers of the power of the
dragons and eye of the Norse Ruins’?”
Akari responds,
gaining realization, “The power of the Crimson Dragon and
Ruin Eye!”
Leafa says, with
a nod, “Yeah, you’re right!”
Dai says,
“Okay, I just got a majorly ‘bad feeling’
here.”
Akari asks,
“What did she mean by ‘things that we can’t
see’?”
Leafa says,
“I don’t know, but we need to be careful here.”
Dai and Akari nod their heads in agreement in which the three of
them return to the crowd of players walking through the streets of
the virtual city while somewhere in the virtual sky, a bit of
static appears before it fades away like nothing ever
happened.
End of Chapter 12
(Sword Art Online closing theme ‘Yume
Sekai’ starts)
As the scene floats down in front of us, we
see the Moon Palace in front of a massive lake where instead of the
palace, Aincrad is being reflected by the pool of water instead of
the Moon Palace. As Aincrad is being shown, we see Kirito, Usagi,
and Asuna, in their SAO forms with their ALO forms behind them,
floating down and as we float down, we see Suguha Kirigaya
surrounded by her ALO avatar of Leaf and as Eternal Sailor
Celestial with the form of someone that looks like Princess
Serenity, but with Sailor Celestial’s sigils on her forehead.
And finally, we float down to see Davis Motomiya, in his
Kirito’s style outfit, and Kari Kamiya, in her version of
Asuna’s KOB outfit, together surrounded by the three Egyptian
God Cards, the Sacred Beasts, Signer Dragons, and many more
‘out of the ordinary’ Duel Monsters including the
Aesir.
The final scene appears where it shows Kazuto,
Serena, Asuna, Suguha, Davis, and Kari surrounded by all of their
friends, comrades, and/or loved ones: The Sailor Scouts, Tuxedo
Mask, Digidestined and their Digimon partners, Rika, Keiko, Andrew,
and Ryoutarou.
Preview (Leafa’s voice)
“Next time: Chain of Broken
Memories.”
Well, there is
the end of the chapter, everyone! The original idea that I had for
this arc of the story was the idea that Davis, Kari, and Suguha
would be get sent into an alternate universe and into the bodies or
should I say, virtual avatars of their counterparts in which they
experience their own version of SAO similar to the original
Sailor Moon Online, but with quite some differences.
However, when I saw the preview for ‘Sword Art Online: Hollow
Realization’, a brand new plotline came to my mind and I
think that it is better than the original plotline that I had in
mine. But tell me what you think of this plot as you follow it,
folks! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
