Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction / Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monster GX Fan Fiction ❯ Yu-Gi-Oh GX Digi-Stars: Twilight Wars ❯ The Coming of Dark Shadows ( Chapter 26 )

Well, I have to say that with over 180 reviews in the ticket, I'm glad that there are plenty of you that like my story. First of all, I do see a point where Serena/Sailor Moon is a bit too powerful in this story. And before any of you go off the barrel, I can assure that this is a valid criticism by a fan of my story. Anyway, like I said before, I'll try to `tone it down a bit' on Serena's power and abilities to make sure she matches up with the others. Plus, recently, I've got some good news. On the first of October, FedEx agreed to give me a job. This doesn't mean that my family is in the clear, but this is a good sign. Hopefully, I'll keep this job for awhile and I'll be able to start paying back my school loans as well as helping my family. I hope that we are in your prayers. Plus, I'm working on a few new stories. If I get to stay on the internet long enough, you might be able to see one go through and boy, it is a big one! Keep an eye out for it!

Chapter 26: The Coming of Dark Shadows

 

(The day after the duel between Serena and Kate; within the Ra Yellow Dorm)

 

Inside of the Ra Yellow dorm, we find a familiar face, Keiko Yukimura, inside of her temporary room within the Ra Yellow dorm as she looks at a white mask that's exactly like Aki Izayoi's mask from Yu-Gi-Oh 5ds and gives a deep sigh about it as she looks at it solemnly.

 

Keiko thinks in her mind, “I thought that I could forget about this past, but I had forgotten the lesson that `those who don't learn from their pasts are doomed to repeat it'. I can't believe that I nearly lost myself as I did back in my days in the Underground Duels. What will Yusuke, Kira, Kari, and the others think of me now knowing the truth about me?” Keiko looks at her `Dragon Birthmark' and she thinks, “I'm supposed to be some kind of `guardian' like I am as a Sailor Scout chosen by this Crimson Dragon? If it needs people to protect humanity, why did it pick me of all people? It sounds like a great wise entity. Why me? Davis, TK, and Serena I can understand, but I don't get why I was chosen out of all people in humanity.” Just then a knock comes from the door and Keiko yelps as she quickly tries to hide the mask in the drawer, but leaving it open enough to see that she put something in it. Keiko says, surprised, “C-Come in!” Just then her boyfriend, Yusuke Urameshi, his sisters, Hikari and Kira Urameshi, Kurama, Kuwabara, Alister, Yukina, Zane Truesdale, Kagome Higurashi, Sanosake Higurashi, Sota Higurashi, Yuka, Eri, Ayumi, Davis Motomiya, Jun Motomiya, Kari Kamiya, and Yusuke's, Hikari's, Kira's, Kagome's, Davis', Jun's, and Kari's Digimon partners enter the room.

 

Lunamon comes over and asks, curiously, “What are all of you doing here?”

 

Veemon says, with a smile, “We're here to check up on your partner, Lunamon.”

 

Renamon says, with a plain tone, “The duel that she fought was just yesterday and we need to see that she is all right.”

 

Hikari asks Keiko, with a concerned tone, “Are you okay, Keiko?”

 

Keiko says, with a weak smile, “I'm not really sure, Kari. It . . .”

 

Kira notices the open drawer and she asks, curiously, “Hey, what's in here?” Immediately, goes over to the drawer and Keiko goes into an immediate panic.

 

Keiko yells out, worriedly, “Kira, wait! Don't!” However, it is too late when Kira takes out her mask that she wore as the `Black Rose Witch' and looks at it in amazement.

 

Sota asks, perplexed, “I didn't know that you were into masks, Keiko?”

 

Keiko says, solemnly, “I'm not.”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “That's the mask that she wore as the `Black Rose Witch'. I saw a picture of Keiko as the `Black Rose Witch' during my days in the Underground.”

 

Kira yells out, surprised, “Whoa!”

 

Keiko gently takes the mask away from Kira and she says, with a solemn tone, “Zane's right. This was my mask . . . no, my `other self' that I created during my duels in the Underground.” Keiko says, with a sigh, “This is the part of my life that I didn't want to remember, but it would never leave me.”

 

Yusuke asks Keiko, curiously, “Kei, why didn't you tell us about these things?”

 

Keiko tells Yusuke, with a loving tone, “I didn't . . . I was afraid. I didn't know what you think of me and plus, the less you knew, the less danger you would be in. I was more afraid that if you came back and found me down in the Underground, you would be dragged with me since I knew that you would try to save me from that Dueling Circuit. I didn't want to get you hurt. I was glad to get out of there before you got back, but it was a part of my life that I didn't want to repeat and I never wanted to see again.” Keiko says, a few tears coming to her eyes, “Dueling that way in the Underground . . . it sickened me to my core. I couldn't believe what I was becoming and I never wanted to become THAT ever again. I wanted to return to at least some form of what I was once was, but I knew that was a pipe dream, so, I decided to become a better person in the way that the Keiko Yukimura that you knew would be.” Keiko wipes the tears from her eyes and Hikari comes up to Keiko.

 

Hikari tells Keiko, “Kei, Zane told us about what he discussed with Shroud.”

 

Keiko says, with a nod, “Yeah. He did force me to stay. Shroud knows about Psychic Duelists and when I, a real-life one, came into his arena, he knew that he could draw in more crowds as well as gain more fame if he had someone like me dueling in the Underground. He did make sure that I would stay by threatening my family and home, but I did tell the truth. He `enticed' me into the Underground with my inner need to become stronger for the sake of my friends and the person I loved. He used me being bait to lure Yusuke into traps to `lure' me to stay in the Underground. I can't believe that I allowed myself to stay like that.”

 

Kira tells Keiko, “Kei, there was nothing that you could have done! You didn't figure out how to get out of there at that time!”

 

Keiko says, with a serious tone, “But I did later on! If I used that focus to do it sooner, less people would have gotten hurt.”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “But even if they dueled other Underground Duelists, with those shackles, they would have gotten hurt for the electric shock.”

 

Keiko retorts, with a solemn tone, “By my powers are far deadlier, if I lose control, I would have killed people!”

 

Hikari tells Keiko, “But you didn't Keiko! Zane told us that Shroud said that you tried to keep in control as best you could and you visited every one of your injured opponents after the duels to say that you are sorry.”

 

Keiko says, plainly, “True. I felt really guilty for what I did, but it doesn't change this fact: I did become, in many ways, what Zane is now.”

 

Zane asks, with a dark sly tone, “And what is the problem with that?”

 

Alister says, annoyed, “Dude! Not helping!”

 

Davis says, with an annoyed tone, “No kidding!”

 

Yusuke grabs Keiko by the shoulders and he tells her, strongly while looking into her eyes, “Keiko, listen to yourself! I won't sit around and let you put yourself down like this! Listen to me and listen good, Keiko! You will never become what that jerk, Shroud, wants you to be! You are stronger than that! How you ended that duel proved that you will be far better than ass tried to turn into! You will always be ten times the person than that jerk ever will be.”

 

Keiko says, surprised, “Yusuke . . .”

 

Yusuke tells Keiko, with a loving tone, “To me, you are going to be Keiko Yukimura and no one else. This `Black Rose Witch' is another person and she is gone. One thing that I believed from that jerk, the `Black Rose Witch' is gone and it is time to leave her buried.” Yusuke then takes the mask from Keiko and throws into the garbage, shattering it in the process. Yusuke tells Keiko, lovingly, “Keiko, you are always going to be you in my mind and no one else.”

 

Keiko says, with a loving tone in her voice, “Oh, Yusuke . . .” Just then Keiko embraces Yusuke and they share a passionate loving kiss for the next few minutes, much to the smiles of the rest of the group in the room, minus Zane.

 

Gatomon says, with a smile, “How wonderful.”

 

Kudamon says, with a nod, “Yes. The bonds that humans and half-demons share with each other are incredible things.”

 

Davis puts Kari into his arms and he says, with a sly loving tone, “Don't I know it, right, Kari-chan?”

 

Kari tells Davis, lovingly, “Yes, it is, Dai-kun.” The two of them share a kiss for a minute or two and the two couples break apart from the kiss soon after.

 

After the two couples release from the kisses, Hikari asks Keiko, nervously, “I know that this might bring back some bad memories and I'm sorry if this hurt you. But that `white dork' version of you said that you always wanted to be a regular girl and not some kind of `Miss Perfect' by the school and now, this . . . well, I . . .”

 

Keiko tells Hikari, with a warm smile, “No, it's all right, Kari. What that `white dork' version of me said was true. You see, after I had my powers suppressed, I started to work harder than ever to make other kids seem me as one of them. Well, it worked a bit too well. I had become a hard worker and hard studier as well as one of the best students in school that it did cause kids to think that stuff was accidents or something else that wasn't my fault making the hurtful rumors stop with other kids being nicer to me. However, it ended up causing me to become that `Miss Perfect' that you heard about. They thought that I was so perfect and that I could do no wrong. To me, it was really annoying because if I got an A minus on a test that it would be the end of the world. However, I felt that it was better than being a `witch' so I stuck with it through deep down, I wanted to be treated like a regular girl and Yusuke always treated me like that and not some kind of princess . . . through technically I am a princess.”

 

Kira says, with a sly grin, “A princess of the universe, Keiko.”

 

Yusuke says, with loving tone, “And I think that someone like you is best for the job.”

 

Keiko says, with a giggle and blush, “Oh, Yusuke . . .”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “Well, we do have four of the five `Signers' and we've seen some of these new Synchro monsters in action. And I have to say that I'm impressed.”

 

Sanosake says, with a nod, “No joke, dudes!”

 

Alister says, nodding his head in agreement, “These new cards will really revolutionize the game of Duel Monsters.”

 

Kari tells Keiko, with a smile, “Keiko, we have some good news. We want to take you to Washu. She feels that we can find a way to control your powers.”

 

Keiko asks Kari, curiously, “She can?”

 

Kagome says, with a nod, “Yeah. She said that your Psychic Duelist powers aren't based on your Juraian powers, but they are similar.”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “She said that if you allow her to scan you that she might determine what your powers really are and help you to control them.”

 

Keiko asks, with a smile, “Really?”

 

Hikari says, with a sly grin, “Hey, would childhood friends of yours lie to you, Kei?”

 

Davis says, with a smile, “Come on! We'll bring you over!” Without needing another word, the group heads off to the Slifer Red dorm to meet Washu in her lab that she set up in Professor Banner's former room.

 

(In the Negaverse's headquarters; Sometime later)

 

Inside of the headquarters of the Negaverse at Duel Academy, we find Queen Beryl and her generals joined by the Sailor Animamates with others added to their numbers.

 

The first of the new Animamates has long violet hair that goes down one-quarter behind her back, a golden star jewel on her forehead, deep violet eyes, dark violet jeweled earrings, dark violet cloth choker around her neck, she has a dark violet bikini-like top covering her blossom, long purple gloves with golden Galactica bracelets over the gloves on her wrists, a pink and violet skirt that goes up to her navel and down one-eighth of her thighs, long black leather high-heeled boots that goes up to one-half of her thighs with five inch heels, and beautiful butterfly wings coming out of her back.

 

The second of the new Animamates has pink hair in four curvy braids, pink eyes, black cloth choker with a star jewel in the center with a star jewel attached below the center of the choker, black dress with thin black lines holding the dress up, black high-heeled shoes on his feet, and golden Galactica bracelets on her wrists.

 

The third of the new Animamates has the same pink hair, but in four twist-like braids, same pink eyes, pink cloth choker with a star in the center, with question mark jewel attached below the center of the choker, pink dress with thin pink lines holding the dress up, pink high-heeled shoes on her feet, and golden Galactica bracelets.

 

The fourth of the new Animamates has light green hair with one pigtail going down each side of her head, green eyes, dark brown earrings, dark green cloth choker with a star jewel in the center of the jewel, she has a green top that goes down until it stop just above her navel and a skirt that goes down to her thighs and up to cover one-half of her navel causing a bit of mid-drift to be shown, and a pair of dark green high-heeled shoes on her feet while golden Galactica bracelets on her wrists.

 

The fifth and final of the new Animamates has the same light green hair, but tied in a ponytail behind her back, brown eyes, brown cloth choker with a star jewel in the center of the choker around her neck, a brown top that covers all of her chest and body, she has a pair of high-heeled shoes on her feet, and a pair of golden Galactica bracelets on her wrists.

 

Queen Beryl says, an interest tone, “Interesting. So, these are the rest of the Shadow Galactica.”

 

Sailor Iron Mouse says, with a smile, “Yep!”

 

Sailor Lead Crow says, pointing to the first new Animamate, “This is Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon, the leader of us, Animamates, under Galaxia-sama before she was turned into that goody-good version of herself.”

 

Sailor Iron Mouse says, pointing to the second and third Animamates, “The girl with the black dress is Sailor Lethe. The other in the pink is Sailor Mnemosythe. Both of them are sisters and they are true Sailor Scouts from their planets, but Galaxia-sama showed them favor and allowed them to join our group.”

 

The black dressed Animamate says, with a bow, “It is an honor to meet you.” The pink dressed one, Sailor Mnemosythe, doesn't say a word and bows.

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, with a plain tone, “The Animamate with the green hair and dark green dress is Sailor Chi. The other one with the brown dress is Sailor Phi. They are among Galaxia-sama's most loyal servants before you know who did to you know what to our great Galaxia-sama.”

 

Queen Beryl says, with a plain tone, “Charmed. I am Queen Beryl, leader of the Negaverse, and another enemy of that rotten Moon brat.”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon says, with a serious tone, “We know. We want to take out that wretched Moon brat for what she did to Galaxia-sama.” Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon says, with an evil sly grin, “And any enemy of that little wench is a friend in my eyes.”

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil smile, “I see that we share quite a similar anger towards that Meatball Headed brat.”

 

Sailor Chi says, with a serious tone, “Galaxia-sama was among the greatest warriors in the universe. None stood in way and she deserved all that she desired.”

 

Sailor Phi says, with an angered sneer, “Before that little witch turned her into a goody-good and robbed her of her true power.”

 

Zoisite asks, curiously, “So, you desire revenge?”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, with an evil smile, “Their star seed shall decorate our walls as our prizes.”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon says, with an evil smile, “After we get their star seeds, we don't require anything more. This pathetic planet is yours to do with what you please. You don't care anything about it or this galaxy.”

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil sly grin, “Deal.”

 

Malachite asks Queen Beryl, in a whisper, “Are you sure about this? What if they want the Silver Crystal?”

 

Queen Beryl tells Malachite, in a whisper, “With the incredible powers that those `heroes' have in their possession, the Silver Crystal is just one bobble. The power of the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Millennium Items, the Sacred Beasts, and so much more including a second Silver Crystal in the hands of the Moon Prince are just as valuable to us. They don't desire them.”

 

Malachite says, with a whisper and evil smile, “You are quite wise my queen. One Silver Crystal is nothing to the powers that we can have. The Negaverse will be back to full power in no time.”

 

Queen Beryl says, with a nod and a whisper, “Indeed, Malachite.”

 

Sailor Mnemosythe whispers to Sailor Lethe, concerned, “I'm not sure about this, Lethe.”

 

Sailor Lethe whispers to Sailor Mnemosythe, in a serious tone, “Do you want to stop the end of these `Sailor Wars'?”

 

Sailor Mnemosythe says, with a nod and a whisper, “Yes, but I . . .”

 

Sailor Lethe tells Sailor Mnemosythe, with a whisper and plain tone, “Well, that settles it. You don't like it Lethe, I know. But I don't like it as much as you do. But in order to stop these endless wars, she must die.” Sailor Mnemosythe just solemnly nods her head in agreement.

 

Jadeite says, with an evil smile, “My queen, I have an idea that our new allies might consider.”

 

Queen Beryl asks Jadeite, with a curious tone, “Yes, Jadeite.”

 

Jadeite tells Queen Beryl, with an evil smile, “I found out from one of our new spies that Moon brat's Earth parents are heading to the island.”

 

Queen Beryl yells out, excitedly, “Excellent! This is indeed news, Jadeite! With that brat's family in danger, she will be putty in our hands!”

 

Zoisite tells Queen Beryl, with a plain tone, “Or she might go off the deep end. Remember, my queen, she is still trying to recover from the `damage' caused by the Light of Destruction, bring balance within herself, and get rid of the `dark emotions' caused by the pain inflicted on her heart by the Light of Destruction.”

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil smile, “And that's perfect for us, Zoisite. You see, when a person is fueled by rage, they lose all control over themselves and lose their ability to reason. If the rotten Moon brat loses all reason, we can use our minds to counter her power with ease.”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillon says, with an evil smile, “Interesting. I like how you work Beryl. I believe that this is a start of a beautiful alliance.”

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil smile, “Yes, I believe it is.” Queen Beryl thinks in her mind, with an evil sly tone, “More than you know! The best way to take down those rotten brats is to `fight fire with fire' and `Dark Senshi' of my own will also help my conquest of the universe. I shall learn to control you and your powers and you shall serve me as my loyal slaves and warriors for all time.”

 

(In the headquarters of the Orichalcos; on the meanwhile)

 

Within the headquarters of the Orichalcos, we find Mistress Nine, the Witches Five, and who looks like to be Hotaru's Earth father, Doctor Tomoe, are in front of Dartz, who has an evil smile on his lips.

 

Dartz says, with an evil smile, “I see. You desire to wipe humanity as much as I do.”

 

Mistress Nine says, with an evil sly grin, “Yes. Plus, my friend can breed a new kind of warrior far superior to your Orichalcos warriors.”

 

The look-a-like of Doctor Tomoe says, with an evil sly grin, “Greetings, Lord Dartz. I look like a human, but I'm really the Germatoid, a being that possessed a human by the name of Doctor Tomoe, the Earth father of Sailor Saturn.”

 

Dartz says, with an evil sly grin, “Interesting indeed.”

 

Mistress Nine says, with an evil smile, “Allow me and my loyal warriors to aid you in your quest to gather souls. We shall create new monsters and weapons that can capture souls instead bringing out pure hearts.”

 

Dartz states, with an evil smile, “You make quite a proposition. And what do you desire in return?”

 

Eugeal says, with an evil sly tone, “Simple. All you do is to make sure that you wipe all humans on this planet and we can leave since we did our job.”

 

Dartz says, with an evil smile, “If that is all, then it is my honor to ally the Orichalcos with you.”

 

Mimete says, with an evil sly grin, “Perfect! I can assure you that you won't regret it!”

 

Dartz says, with an evil smile, “I know that alliance shall be quite satisfying.” Dartz thinks in his mind, with an evil sly grin, “And it shall be even more satisfying your souls to the Great Beast! The darkness in your souls shall greatly add its power, but for now, I shall let you aid the Orichalcos and when the time is right, your souls shall become fuel for the Great Beast!”

 

Mistress Nine thinks in her mind, with an evil sly tone, “Perfect! As we aid him, we shall learn about the Orichalcos and learn how to harness its incredible evil powers. With its power, we shall become invincible and Hotaru Tomoe and her precious princess will pay for what they have done to me and the Heart Snatchers!”

 

(At this time; in the lands of Egypt)

 

Deep in the sands of Egypt, we find ourselves within an Egyptian Tomb and in the dimly lit tomb, lit only by lanterns, we find none other than Yami Marik walking down the tomb with an evil sly smile on his face.

 

Yami Marik says to himself, “Interesting. I know that it is here somewhere. I or should I say, my former `weak self', read about him in the ancient scriptures.” Yami Marik continues until he hits a wall and he reads the hieroglyphics inside causing him to smile evilly. Yami Marik says, with an evil smile, “Excellent! So, he isn't a legend after all!” Yami Marik then thrusts his right hand forward while the Millennium Symbol of his forehead gives off a powerful glow causing the wall to crumble and Yami Marik immediately goes through the hole in the wall that he made and finds a broken monster tablet hanging in the air by chains.

 

Just then a dark energy comes out of it and it says, in a demonic male voice, “Who has released me?!”

 

Yami Marik tells the dark energy entity, “Someone much like yourself, Tragoedia.”

 

The dark entity asks, surprised, “You know of me?”

 

Yami Marik says, with an evil smile, “Yes. I know well of the ancient scriptures and know plenty of the stories of Pharaoh Atem and the Shadow Games. You remember the Pharaoh, don't you?”

 

Tragoedia yells out, angrily, “How can I not forget the Pharaoh and his priests that sealed me away and broke me apart?!”

 

Yami Marik says, with an evil smile, “Well, you should know that this Pharaoh has been returned to life and he lives a second life with his beloved princess of stars, who has been reincarnated.”

 

Tragoedia calls out, angrily, “What?!”

 

Yami Marik says, with an evil sly smile, “You and I share the same hatred for Pharaoh Atem. I want him destroyed as much as you do. I have gained great power from the Shadow Realm, where the Pharaoh had me sealed away, but I am not strong enough to fight him since he has allies, powerful ones by his side. I ask for an alliance to destroy Atem and all that he loves.”

 

Tragoedia gives an evil laugh and it says, “Yes! I can see your hatred for him in your eyes! You are just as evil as I am! To be honest, from your aura, I am not sure that you are human at all! You have perked my interest, but as you can see, I can't revive until I am reassembled. However, in order to return to my true form, I also need one thing: A Duel Monster's Spirit.”

 

Yami Marik says, with an evil smile, “Well, you are in luck. Plenty of Atem's new allies have their own Duel Spirits including a few Winged Kuriboh monsters. I'm sure that you know of that monster well.”

 

Tragoedia replies, with an evil sinister sly tone, “Yes, I know that monster well. It might very well be the monster that I need. I believe that this is the start of a beautiful alliance.”

 

Yami Marik says, with an evil smile, “Yes. And Atem shall finally be sent wandering in the shadows to watch helplessly as we destroy all that he loves!” Yami Marik and Tragoedia laugh evilly as the new evil allies prepare their plans against our heroes and heroines.

 

(Some distance from Academy Island; Later that morning)

 

On the deck of the large ship, we find Ikuko Tsukino, Serena's Earth mother, near the edge of the deck looking in the direction of Duel Academy with a concerned look on her face.

 

Just then a familiar male voice calls out, “Dear, what's wrong?” Ikuko turns to the source of the voice to see her husband, Kenji Tsukino, walking towards her.

 

Ikuko says, with a worried tone, “I'm really worried about Serena.”

 

Kenji tells Ikuko, with a kind smile, “Ikuko, Serena may not do good in school, but she knows to stay away from stuff like that Society of Light.”

 

Ikuko says, with a nod, “I know. But ever since I had that dream . . . I can't help to worry. I saw Serena wearing some kind of weird armor and fighting some kind of weird, sinister, and `devilish' version of their leader, this Sartorius, and he is using some kind of weird sickly white light and energy against her. She uses her ninja skills and some kind of other strange powers to beat him back, but then some kind of `evil force' attacks her from the behind and impales her! In fact, Serena had this weird golden crescent moon mark on her forehead and she looks like Sailor Moon!”

 

Kenji says, with a sly smile, “Sailor Moon? Dear, our daughter is no super-hero.”

 

Ikuko says, with a serious tone, “Remember, our daughter is a ninja . . . a famous ninja back in my homelands.”

 

Kenji says, with a serious tone, “But you sealed her chakra and Sammy's chakra with some of your best seals.”

 

Ikuko says, with a plain tone, “With the secret of how to unlock them in case of an emergency. I don't know how, but I know that this dream was not just some kind of dream. It was some kind of vision or message. Serena is involved with something bigger than someone we can't even imagine and I can't help to worry about her. I need to see her and Sammy. I need to see that she is okay.”

 

Kenji embraces his wife and he says, reassuringly, “Don't worry, honey. Serena has her friends to help her. She will be just fine.”

 

Ikuko says, with a concerned tone, “I hope so.” Soon after, Ikuko and Kenji share a kiss and when they break off, they look into the distance.

 

Kenji thinks in his mind, “I didn't want to concern her, but I've had this same feeling. Serena, sweetie, please! Be okay when we get there! Ever since we got you back after thinking that you were dead for five years, your mother and I can't help to worry about you. Take care of your brother and please be just fine.” The two of them continue on their cruise to Duel Academy and not knowing what awaited them when they arrive.

 

(Back at Duel Academy; Sometime afterwards)

 

Back at Duel Academy, we find our heroes and heroines, minus Keiko and Yusuke, assembled in front of the Slifer Red dorm and looking towards Washu's lab set up in Professor Banner's former dorm room.

 

Kira says, concerned, “I hope that Kei is all right in there.”

 

Ryoko asks, with a sly smile, “With Washu, who knows?”

 

Ayeka tells Ryoko, with an annoyed tone, “Why don't you clam it, Ryoko?!” Ayeka tells our heroes and heroines, with a kind smile, “My friends, I know that you are worried for Lady Keiko's safety, but I can assure that Miss Washu does have a curious method, however, she will find solutions that we are looking for.”

 

Bastion says, amazed, “What I'm amazed is that Keiko is actually one of the most infamous Underground Duelists.”

 

Jaden says, stunned, “No joke, Bastion! Keiko of all people!”

 

Davis thinks in his mind, solemnly, “It isn't like there are some among of us that have experience with the Underground and what it can do to you.”

 

Mina asks, perplexed, “So, Keiko is one of these Psychic Duelists? How many more are out there?”

 

Ami says, looking at her computer, “Well, from what I know, all known Psychic Duelists are organized in an organization known as the `Arcadia Movement'.”

 

Zoe asks, perplexed, “Arcadia Movement?”

 

Bastion says, with a nod and logical tone, “Yes, but their ideals and motives are unknown.”

 

Kakashi says, with a plain tone, “There are also those from multiple Hidden Villages in our lands that have joined their movement. Plenty of them are considered `missing ninja' in our Bingo Books.”

 

Tsunade says, with a serious tone, “It is because of this and their mysterious powers that have kept them under suspicion, but they haven't shown any criminal actions, so, there is nothing legal that could be done about them. Plus, they also seem to be an upbeat group without any `cult-like' qualities, but the worry also comes from that they are a strong force in the dueling world.”

 

Hikari asks, curiously, “Do you think that they know about Keiko?”

 

TK says, with a serious tone, “I read up on them and I think that's a good possibility. They might be here to bring Keiko into their organization.”

 

Serena says, with a plain tone, “Well, if they aren't bad, maybe people are being too suspicious on them.”

 

Rei tells Serena, with a serious tone, “Maybe. But I wouldn't get that idea until we meet them for ourselves.”

 

Amara says, with a plain tone, “Good point, Rei.”

 

Alexis asks, curiously, “So, with Keiko, it makes four of the five `Signers' right?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “Yes. With Keiko, we find four of the five `Signers'.”

 

Jaden asks, curiously, “So, what is the deal with these `Dragon Birthmarks' after all?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain emotionless tone, “Well, it is like this.” Yeshua then creates an image of the Crimson Dragon creating from Native American pictograph writing and our heroes and heroines notices the images Keiko's, Davis', TK's, and Serena's Dragon Birthmarks making up parts of the dragon. Yeshua says, with a plain emotionless tone, “Long ago, when the Crimson Dragon had defeated all the great evils and sealed them into the Nazca Lines, the Crimson Dragon went into slumber and divided its power into five parts with help from the People of the Stars. The five parts were the head, the two claws, the wings, and the tail, each containing a part of the Crimson Dragon's power, were sealed into five people known as `Signers' in the form of birthmarks.”

 

Sora asks, curiously, “And that's why they are `Signers'?”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod, “They were chosen to weld and contain portions of the Crimson Dragon's great power and they are the ones necessary to summon it back if it is needed to fight for humanity again. That's why they are another form of `Chosen Duelists' because they can only fulfill the great task of being the legendary warriors of the universe of the `People of the Stars'.”

 

Davis states, with a sigh, “Geez! No pressure, huh?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “Thankfully, the evil power of the Light of Destruction kept it suppressed greatly within Keiko Yukimura and Takeru Takashi when they were under the control of the Light of Destruction.”

 

Alister says, with a plain tone, “Hey, dude, can we not talk about that? I'm still getting over it.”

 

Yeshua says, with a bow, “Forgive me.”

 

Kira says, with a kind tone, “Hey! It isn't your fault! You weren't the one that brainwashed all those people, Yeshua.”

 

Hikari asks, curiously, “Do you know when the new evil will come out Yeshua?”

 

Yeshua says, shaking his head, “No. However, I do know that the evil of the Nazca Lines will have agents of their own as the Crimson Dragon has `Signers' to aid it. Plus, you should remember that the five dragons play a role in this battle and the summoning of the Crimson Dragon. How is a question that I can't answer?”

 

Tai yells out, annoyed, “You've got to be kidding me!”

 

Takuya says, annoyed, “No joke!”

 

Koichi says, with a kind smile, “Come on, you know how Yeshua is.”

 

JP states, with a snort, “Don't we know it?”

 

Ayeka says, with a curious tone, “However, we only found four `Signers': Lord Davis, Lady Serenity, Lady Keiko, and Lord Takeru. There is still one left.”

 

Tenchi asks Yeshua, “Who is the final `Signer' Yeshua?”

 

Yeshua replies, with a plain tone, “I do not know.”

 

Ino yells out, annoyed, “You've got to be kidding me!”

 

Sakura says, with a plain tone, “Chill out, Ino!”

 

Serena looks over her `Dragon Birthmark' and she thinks in her mind, “I don't get it! Why did this `Crimson Dragon' choose me to protect its power?”

 

Just then a beautiful gently female voice says in her mind, “You already knew that answer, my dear!”

 

Serena glances around to find who just said that and she calls out, mentally, “Who said that?”

 

The voice replies, with a gentle teasing tone, “You have forgotten me, my darling Serena? I am hurt . . . I am sorry, I am just teasing you.” The voice then says, “It has been a long time, Serena. At last, we are together again.”

 

Serena asks, perplexed, “Again? Have we met before?”

 

The voice tells Serena, kindly, “I am not surprised that you don't remember me. You were just a little child. A `toddler' I believe that humans call younglings of your age at the time. I know that people don't remember things when they are that young. However, I prefer it that way until the time is right. And that time is now. Soon, you will remember me and you will remember the bond that we once shared . . . and that we do share now. You made a promise to me that you probably don't remember, but I know that you will once you do.”

 

Serena asks, perplexed, “Promise?”

 

The voice tells Serena, with a gentle caring tone that a mother has, “In time . . . you will remember . . .” Just then Serena's eyes go dull for a moment as images of a dragon come into her mind. The dragon has pinkish-red eyes, a golden crown on her head, pink fairy wings for ears, long beautiful grass green hair coming out from behind its head, a long dark blue snake-like body with golden armor in the chest area and one arm coming out of each area of the chest with golden gantlets on the wrists and lower arms with long blue slender fingers, and a pair of huge pink fairy-like dragon wings coming out of her back.

 

Just then Molly calls out, “Serena!” Serena blinks three times as her eyes return to normal, she comes out of her stupor, and turns to face Molly.

 

Serena asks Molly, “What's up, Molly?”

 

Molly tells Serena, “I should be asking you. You were zoning out a second ago.”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “Oh, sorry! It is just a lot to take in that's all!”

 

Molly says, with a smile, “I understand!”

 

However, Serena thoughts return to the image that she saw and she thinks, realizing something, “Wait! That dragon!” Serena takes out her new `Signer' deck combined with her Fairy deck and she looks through the cards until she stops a Synchro monster card with seven stars, the words `Ancient Fairy Dragon' on top, stats showing 2100 attack points and 3000 defense points, and a picture of that same dragon that she saw in her vision. Serena thinks in her mind, perplexed, “Ancient Fairy Dragon, could it be . . .?”

 

Just then Serena's PDA beeps and she activates it causing a message to appear on the screen that causes her to gasp in shock causing Jaden to ask, “Hey, sis, what's up?”

 

Serena says, worriedly, “Oh no! This is bad! Real bad!”

 

Ami asks, concerned, “What's wrong?”

 

Serena says, with a serious tone, “My parents are here!”

 

Davis yells out, stunned, “What?! What are they doing here?!”

 

Rei says, with a serious tone, “Doesn't matter! With all of the enemies against us, there are plenty that want to kidnap them especially Beryl since she knows Serena and Sailor Moon AKA the Moon Princess are one and the same!” Without another word, Serena rushes off as fast as she can to the harbor!

 

Hotaru calls out, worriedly, “Serena-hime, wait up!”

 

TK says, with a concerned tone, “This is not good.”

 

Matt says, with a nod, “No joke, TK.”

 

Koji says, with a plain tone, “With so many enemies after her, any one of them could attack her family.”

 

Sammy says, with a serious tone, “Not on my watch!” Immediately, Sammy runs off to follow his super-heroine sister.

 

Sasami says, stunned, “Hey, Sammy! Stop!”

 

Blair asks, perplexed, “What do we do now?”

 

Kuwabara says, with a serious tone, “What do you think?” Not needing anyone other words, Kuwabara rushes off after Serena and Sammy.

 

Lita asks, amazed expression on her face, “Not much for words, is he?”

 

Hiei says, with a plain tone, “Typical fool if you ask me.” Hiei then takes out his sword and he says, with a sly grin, “But I've always wanted see if the Negaverse were all the hype in demon lore.”

 

Rei says, with a sigh, “I keep wondering about you.”

 

Hiei says, with his usual tone, “Well, keep wondering miko and stay out of my way.” Soon after, Hiei races off to the harbor at his super-speed.

 

Zoe tells Hikari, “Wow. You have a weird bunch of friends, Kari.”

 

Hikari says, with a sigh, “Tell me about it.” The rest of our heroes and heroines assembled immediately head off after Serena, Sammy, Kuwabara, and Hiei to the harbor.

 

(At Duel Academy's harbor; A short time soon after)

 

Within the harbor, we find Kenji and Ikuko Tsukino walking down a ramp off the ship and onto the concrete harbor as they look towards Duel Academy.

 

Kenji says, amazed, “So, this is Duel Academy? It is amazing. Seto Kaiba really knows his stuff.”

 

Ikuko says, with a nod, “I'll say. This is one incredible place.”

 

The two of them continue off the ship until a familiar female voice calls out, “Momma! Dad!” Ikuko and Kenji look towards the source of the voice to see their daughter running towards them.

 

Ikuko asks, perplexed, “Serena?”

 

When Serena comes towards them, Kenji tells Serena, with a serious tone, “Hold up! When did you decide to take up the `Goth' look?”

 

Serena tells Kenji, concerned, “There is no time for that! You need to get out of here!”

 

Ikuko asks Serena, perplexed, “Sweetie! What are you talking about?”

 

Serena tells Ikuko, with a concerned tone, “There is no time to explain! You need to get back on that boat and get out of here!”

 

Kenji says, with a serious tone, “Now, you look here young lady! We're not leaving here when we just got here! Your mother was worried about you and we need an explanation!”

 

Just then a familiar evil female voice, “How this for an explanation, human?!” Just then Serena and her Earth parents look to see a black lightning bolt heading for them.

 

Serena yells out, worriedly, “Watch out!” Immediately, Serena pushes her Earth parents out of the way of the attack which crashes where they were causing a strong explosion. Quickly, Serena gets to her feet and asks her mom and dad, concerned, “Are you okay?”

 

Kenji asks, stunned, “Yes, but what was that?”

 

Just then Zoisite appears in front of them and she says, with an evil sly grin, “Allow me to show you! Zoi!” Just then Serena is hit by a powerful petal storm and she cries out as she is thrown to the ground with multiple cuts on her uniform.

 

Ikuko calls out, horrified, “Serena!” Just then Jadeite and Malachite appear behind the two of them and grab them from behind.

 

Jadeite says, with an evil sly grin, “Sorry, but your little daughter is about to get her spanking!”

 

Serena gets to her feet and yells out, when she sees her parents trapped by two evil Negaverse generals, “Momma! Dad!” Serena prepares to rush them, but a whip comes from behind and grabs her by the neck, choking her, causing her to look to see Sailor Lead Crow holding the whip.

 

Sailor Lead Crow says, with an evil sly smile, “Did you miss me, brat?”

 

Serena thinks in her mind, “Sailor Lead Crow!” Soon after, all of the other Sailor Animamates including the newer members appear and Serena thinks in her mind, stunned when she sees them, “What the? New Animamates?”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, with a sly smile, “Hey, brat, we would like for you to meet Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion, the second in command of the Animamates.”

 

Sailor Iron Mouse says, annoyed, “Or should I say our new commander after what you did to Galaxia-sama!”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion says, with an evil sly grin, “So, this is the little brat that defeated the mighty Sailor Galaxia, huh? Looks like a pathetic Meatball Head to me!”

 

Sailor Tin Nyanko says, with a serious tone, “Don't underestimate this girl! She may look like a fool, which she might be, but she is far more powerful than you think!”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion says, with an evil smile, “I would believe it when I see it!”

 

Serena thinks in her mind, plainly, “I think that's a cue if I ever heard one!” Immediately, Serena grabs hold of the whip around her neck and using her super-strength, she pulls Sailor Lead Crow right towards her. As the grip on her neck from the whip slackened, Sailor Lead Crow is being flung/pulled towards Serena and when she gets close to Serena, Serena slams her right fist into Sailor Lead Crow's face, sending her flying into the warehouse right through its metal gate and inside with a loud `crash'!

 

Sailor Lethe says, stunned, “What the? No way!”

 

Sailor Mnemosythe says, amazed, “She is . . . so strong. And she isn't even transformed. I don't like this, Lethe.”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion says, with an evil smile, “Well, she might prove to be a challenge after all. I shall enjoy destroying you . . . Sailor Moon.”

 

Kenji and Ikuko yell out in unison, “Sailor Moon?!”

 

Just then a familiar evil female voice calls out, “That's right!” Before Serena could react, a dark lightning bolt strikes her in the shoulder causing her to get a nasty burned gash on her shoulder and she cries out in pain from the attack as she is knocked to the concrete.

 

Ikuko yells out, horrified, “Serena!” Serena tries to get back on her feet, but she is slammed in the chest by Queen Beryl's right high-heeled shoe.

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil smile, “Well, we meet again, Serena. Or I should say, Sailor Moon? Well, I have to say that I'm enjoying you right where you belong . . . in the dirt!” Queen Beryl pressed down on Serena's chest causing her to yelp in pain.”

 

Ikuko yells out, horrified, “Serena!”

 

Serena tells Queen Beryl, weakly, “L-Let them go . . . Beryl . . . T-They've got nothing to do with this . . .”

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil sly grin, “Oh, but they do Sailor Moon! They are your current family after I destroyed back in ancient times remember?! It would give me pleasure to see the fear or angered filled look on your face as I emotionally destroy you in two life-times!”

 

Kenji asks, perplexed, “Who are you? And what do you have to do with our daughter?”

 

Jadeite says, strongly, “Quiet, human!”

 

Queen Beryl motions for Jadeite to stop and she says, with an evil sly grin, “Oh, I have a lot to do with this little brat of a daughter. She is who I said that she is. Your precious `little bunny' hides a lot of secrets, but then again, you know about secrets Missus Tsukino since you are a former Shinobi after all.”

 

Ikuko says, stunned, “How did you know that?”

 

Queen Beryl states, with an evil sly grin, “I know since I am Queen Beryl, ruler of the Negaverse, and one of the people that your daughter unfortunately angered by interfering with my plans for universal domination! If you don't believe that your daughter is my mortal enemy, Sailor Moon, let me tell you this: Sailor Moon has the same ridiculous hairstyle as your daughter. So, what does that tell you?!” Kenji and Ikuko gasp in shock.

 

Just then a familiar female voice booms, “You are calling her hairstyle ridiculous, Beryl?! Ha! Did you forget to look in the mirror or what?!” Just then a blast of heat slams into Sailor Tin Nyanko and Sailor Aluminum Siren blasting them to the ground hard!

 

Sailor Chi asks, perplexed, “What was that?” Just then various other powerful attacks that include a black dragon, spheres of blue spirit energy, elemental attacks, and more rain down on the villains forcing them to scatter for cover.

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion yells out, angrily, “Who dares?!”

 

Just then a male voice yells out, strongly, “Who do you think?!” Just then everyone looks to see a lot of our heroes and heroines, human, demon, Digimon, or otherwise appear on the scene with those with Senshi forms in their Senshi forms, the Legendary Warrior Digimon, the Digimon in their highest forms of evolution, and other super-powered heroes and heroines `powered up' to fight.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Mars says, with a serious tone, “We're not going to let you get away with this, Beryl!”

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil sly sneer, “And what are you going to do about it, Mars?! Your leader is under my foot and her Earth parents are in my power as well!”

 

Arbormon says, with a serious tone, “Let them go!”

 

Ranamon asks, with a serious tone, “What right do you have to do this?!”

 

Queen Beryl says, with an evil smile, “Who said that I need to answer to you, water child?! I'm holding the cards here and if you make one wrong move, these two will pay the price!” Just then Jadeite and Malachite hold knives to Kenji's and Ikuko's necks.

 

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, “Not this time!” Just then Jadeite and Malachite feel powerful blows to their necks causing them to release their grips on Kenji and Ikuko as well as their knives and falling to the side backwards on the ground, temporary stunned, while Ikuko and Kenji are hoisted onto the backs of Pegasusmon and Nefertimon by Eternal Sailor Star and TK.

 

Sailor Star says, with a smile, “Don't worry! We're friends!”

 

TK says, with a smile, “Just hang on!”

 

Kenji asks, perplexed, “To what?!”

 

Queen Beryl yells out, seeing this, “No!” Seeing her chance, Serena immediately uses her strength to throw Beryl off her and leap into the sky, taking out her brooch.

 

“Valkyrie Moon Power, Make-up!”

 

Serena's brooch opens up to reveal her Silver Crystal and she is bathed in its power as her uniform melts away and is replaced by an armored sailor fuku. After her transformation is done, Valkyrie Sailor Moon takes the place of Serena and our Soldier of the Moon has a serious glare in her eyes.

 

Her Earth parents are shocked and Ikuko asks, stunned, “Serena . . . is Sailor Moon?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, with a sigh, “Here comes a long explanation!” Valkyrie Sailor Moon turns her attention to Queen Beryl and yells out, with a strong tone, “How dare you threaten my family here, Beryl? You have showed me that your evil knows no bounds! Well, in the name of the moon, this time I will defeat you for good!”

 

Queen Beryl yells out, with a snarl, “Bah! You are becoming a real pain, Moon Brat!”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion says, with a serious tone, “Well, let's silence her for good!” Just then Valkyrie Sailor Moon is attacked by Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion using a black sword and Queen Beryl turned her specter into a black double-sided lance and charged Valkyrie Sailor Moon as well.

 

Sailor Venus says, stunned, “Two on one?! That's not fair!”

 

Queen Beryl snaps her fingers and yells out, with an evil sly tone, “Well, neither is this! Youma, attack!” Just then dozens to hundred of youma come out of the shadow and launch their attacks on our heroes and heroines.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way says, annoyed, “How many of these grosses outs does she have?!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Vortex says, plainly, “Less talking and more attacking!”

 

Olympian Solar Sun says, strongly, “You don't need to tell me twice!” Soon after, Olympian Solar Sun uses a powerful Spirit Wave to cut through two of the attacking youma, but Jadeite and Malachite quickly recover from Sailor Star's and TK's sneak attack and soon enough, the fight has turned into an all-out battle on Academy Harbor.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon, holding back Beryl and Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion, yells out, “Kari! TK! Get my family out of here!”

 

Sailor Star says, with a nod, “Right!”

 

TK says, with a serious tone, “We will be right back!”

 

As Pegasusmon and Nefertimon take off with their passengers to the Red dorm, Valkyrie Sailor Moon tells Arbormon, “Sammy, you, too! Get out of here!”

 

Arbormon says, with a serious tone, “No way, sis! I've got my own powers now!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, seriously, “Sammy . . .!”

 

Queen Beryl yells out, strongly, “You should worry more about yourself, brat!” Queen Beryl then thrusts her lance right towards Valkyrie Sailor Moon's armored waist, but she leaps above it and lands on it. Before Queen Beryl could recover, Valkyrie Sailor Moon uses a powerful kick to knock Queen Beryl to the ground. However, soon after she is done, Valkyrie Sailor Moon has to clash swords with Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon asks Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion, “Why are you doing this?”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion says, with a serious tone, “Why do you think?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a serious tone, “Galaxia wasn't the person that you think that she was! She wasn't herself!”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion yells out, with a strong tone, “Galaxia-sama was one of the mightiest Senshi in the whole universe until you made her go soft! And now, I shall continue where she left off before you came along!” Soon enough, the two of them returned to a ferocious clash of swords as the rest of our heroes and heroines continue to battle the youma, the Negaverse generals, and the Sailor Animamates. Sailor Lead Crow, who had recovered from the surprise attack by our Moon Princess, is sending dark energy into her whip while launching her whip at Valkyrie Sailor Universe and Valkyrie Sailor Galaxy.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Galaxy says, with a serious tone, “Don't you know that you will hurt someone with that? You should watch it!”

 

Sailor Lead Crow says, with an evil sly grin, “Yeah! Watch you, Sailor brats, get the shock of your lives!” Next, we find Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star, Valkyrie Sailor Light Star, and Shining Warrior taking on Sailor Aluminum Siren.

 

Sailor Aluminum Siren says, licking her lips, “Oh, man! I am starving! Let's get this done and over with so I can get a bite to eat!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Heaven Star says, with a curious tone, “Is she like this? She looks like a ditz.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Light Star says, with a smile, “That's because she is. I heard about her from Auntie Serena when she is Neo-Queen Serenity. She doesn't have much in the head.”

 

Sailor Aluminum Siren yells out, really annoyed, “I do have plenty in my head! You are going to pay for that remark you brat!” Sailor Aluminum Siren starts to fire off golden energy from her bracelet and the three of them dodge immediately.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Vortex and Olympian Solar Sun are facing off against Sailor Tin Nyanko and her spear and Olympian Solar Sun asks Valkyrie Sailor Vortex, “Just like old times, huh?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Vortex says, with a nervous sly tone, “Yep!” Valkyrie Sailor Vortex blocks a blow from Sailor Tin Nyanko's spear while Olympian Solar Sun bashes her in the face with a spirit energy punch.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way and the Eternal class Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts are fighting against Sailor Lethe and Sailor Mnemosythe with Sailor Lethe saying, seriously, “Back off! We're going to succeed in our goal and nothing will stop us!”

 

Sailor Uranus asks, curiously, “And your goal is?”

 

Sailor Lethe says, with a serious tone, “The starter of all the Sailor Wars: Sailor Moon!”

 

Sailor Jupiter yells out, annoyed and strongly, “You're nuts!”

 

Sailor Lethe says, with a serious tone, “As long as she and that crystal of hers continue to exist, battles like the Sailor Wars will never stop! For peace to come, she must die!”

 

Sailor Mnemosythe says, with a plain tone, “Please don't get in our way. We really don't want to hurt you.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way yells out, strongly, “Sorry if we don't feel the same way!” Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way sends a surge of spirit energy right at the two of them leap out of the way.

 

“Space Sword Blaster!”

 

Eternal Sailor Uranus then launches a wave of energy from her Space Sword at the two of them and they barely manage to dodge.

 

Sailor Saturn says, with a plain tone, “This isn't going to be easy.” Going to Valkyrie Sailor Mars, she along with Hiei, Kurama, and Ryoko are taking on Sailor Chi and Phi, but they easily dodge an attack from Kurama's Rose Whip as well as energy bolts from Ryoko.

 

Ryoko yells out, annoyed, “Stand still why don't you?!”

 

Sailor Chi shouts out, with a nasty smile, “Make us!”

 

Hiei says, with a sly grin on his lips, “As you wish.” Next off, we find Kuwabara in a sword duel with Malachite with Kuwabara using his Spirit Sword against Malachite's black crystal sword.

 

Kuwabara yells out, angrily, “You attacked Sailor Moon's mother and father and brought them into our battle! Have no honor?!”

 

Malachite says, with an evil sly smile, “Ha! You, humans, and your honor! You can never understand the power that we weld!”

 

Kuwabara roars out, strongly, “Oh, yeah! I'll show you what humans and their honor can do! Spirit Sword, Jigen Tou!” Soon after, Kuwabara's Spirit Sword transforms into its upgraded form.

 

Malachite yells out, shocked, “A Dimensional Sword?!” Kuwabara swipes down at Malachite, but he leaps high into the air to avoid the attack as Kuwabara's sword cuts into the ground and Malachite says, with an evil sly grin, “Well, not bad. A sword that cut through dimensions, so, it seems that not all humans are worthless.” Kuwabara gives a snarl of annoyance at Malachite. Next, we go to Jadeite where we find him battling against Valkyrie Sailor Genesis and Taigoku.

 

Jadeite says, with an evil sly grin, “The infamous Sailor Genesis and beloved dog! Small universe after all!”

Taigoku yells out, angrily, “Hey! Who are you calling a dog?!”

 

Jadeite says, with a nasty tone, “That's you, Taigoku! But then again, it is better to be a dog then your girlfriend who just someone for bed!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Genesis gives an indignant look and Taigoku yells out, as he prepares to slice apart Jadeite with Tessaiga, “That does it asshole! You are going to get it!” Taigoku charges at Jadeite and Valkyrie Sailor Genesis gasps in shock.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Genesis yells out, as she goes after him, “Inuyasha, wait!” Finally, with Zoisite, we find her facing off against Valkyrie Sailor Sedna, Eternal Sailor Mercury, Eternal Sailor Venus, and Eternal Sailor Jupiter.

 

Zoisite says, with an annoyed tone, “Do you really think that with the leader of the Outer Sailor Scouts that you can beat me?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Sedna yells out, strongly, “We don't think! We know!”

 

Zoisite says, with an evil sly grin, “That's tough talk coming from someone who used to be a weak girl that let poor Nephrite die. If you hadn't gotten involved, he might be still alive!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Sedna calls out, angrily, “You will pay for that remark Zoisite!”

 

Zoisite calls out, strongly, “We'll see about that! Zoi!” Zoisite launches a wave of flower petals at the four Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts, but then a golden phoenix appears to burn those petals away. Zoisite yells out, annoyed, “Who did that?!” Just then Sailor Hell Star and Shadow Warrior in front of Valkyrie Sailor Sedna and the others and Zoisite says, with an evil sly smile, “Oh, Pharaoh Atem! Or should I say `ex-Pharaoh'?! It looks like your little wench has been reincarnated!”

 

Shadow Warrior says, annoyed, “Watch you say Zoisite!”

 

Zoisite says, with an evil sly sneer, “Oh, what I'm saying is the truth. She is just an easy girl to get in-between her legs!”

 

Sailor Hell Star yells out, angrily, “Hey! That does it! You are toast!”

 

Zoisite yells out, with a sly grin, “We'll see about that!” The battle between the groups continues while the others are dealing with the various youma.

 

“Terra Force!”

 

“Solar Wind Destroyer!”

 

“Hurricane Wave!”

 

WarGreymon launches a large sphere of energy, Aldamon creates a large orb of flame energy, and Zephyrmon creates a huge hurricane that destroys dozens of youma, but there were more coming.

 

“Flower Cannon!”

 

“Thunder Fist!”

 

“Cleansing Light!”

 

“Horn Buster!”

 

Lillymon fires a sphere of green flora energy, Beowulfmon fires a beam of light and missiles, and MegaKabuterimon fires a beam of energy from his horn that slams into another group of youma causing them to be vaporized. While Beetlemon slams his electrical charged fist into another youma and it cries out as it turns into mush.

 

Beetlemon says, annoyed, “How many of these things are there? They are just like ants.”

 

Beowulfmon says, with a serious tone, “Ants with a terrible bite, so, watch yourself, JP.”

 

On the meanwhile, Tenchi, in his Jurian Battle uniform using his Light Hawk Sword slashes through youma after youma while Ayeka, within a shield and in her own Jurian Battle uniform, asks Washu through a hologram screen communicator, “Miss Washu, do you have the illusion shield up?”

 

Washu says, with a smile, “Yep!” The holographic communicator screen vanishes and Ayeka uses her power from defense to attack in the form of energy beams. Back with our Moon Princess, she is fighting off Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion and Queen Beryl using her sword to block attacks from their weapons.

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion says, with an evil sly grin, “You are not bad! I can see why Galaxia-sama had so much trouble with you!”

 

Queen Beryl yells out, with a strong tone, “Well, not for long!” Just then Queen Beryl sends a dark shockwave that blasts our Moon Princess, her armored heels skidding across the ground, but she holds her ground as she quickly sheaths her sword.

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion yells out, with an evil smile, “Big mistake!” Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion then leaps into the sky and prepares for the kill, but Valkyrie Sailor Moon slams her right fist into the concrete creating a good sized hole while sending pieces of concrete into the sky. Just then Valkyrie Sailor Moon puts her hands into ninja hand signs.

 

“Earth Style: Rapid Rock Bullet Jutsu!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon sends her chakra energy into the pieces of concrete that she created when she hit the harbor and they turn into bullets that rip into Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion causing her to cry out in pain as she falls into the ground. But just then Queen Beryl manages to teleport behind her and Valkyrie Sailor Moon gasps to see the leader of the Negaverse about to impale her.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Neo Moon and Tuxedo Mask see this and yell out in unison, horrified, “No!”

 

“Star Shower!”

 

“Rosetta Stone!”

 

Just then Queen Beryl cries out as she is hit on both her left and right sides by energy stars and thick stones allowing Valkyrie Sailor Moon to get out of the way while Pegasusmon, with TK on his back, and Nefertimon, with Eternal Sailor Star on her back, fly up to our Moon Princess.

 

Sailor Star asks Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “Are you okay, Serena?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon replies, with a smile, “I'm okay! Thanks!”

 

TK tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “No problem! Your mother told us to make sure that your back was okay!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon asks, perplexed, “My mom?”

 

On the meanwhile, Queen Beryl recovers from the attack and prepares to attack causing her to say, angrily, “You are going to pay for that, you brats!”

 

“Water Style: Water Dragon Jutsu!”

 

Just then Queen Beryl cries out as large water dragon slams into her and she slams into the ocean hard causing TK, Sailor Star, their two Digimon, and Valkyrie Sailor Moon look to see Valkyrie Sailor Neo Moon standing on the water showing to be the one performed the jutsu.

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion thinks in her mind, with a sneer, “I might have underestimate of Sailor Moon and all of her allies. However, it doesn't mean that I won't be denied her star seed!” Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion prepares to use her bracelets in a sneak attack, but then a rose slams into her bracelets causing her to yelp in surprise as she looks to see Tuxedo Mask throwing that rose at her. Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion yells out, angrily, “How dare you?!”

 

Just then a male voice calls out, strongly, “Hey, Sailor Fake!” Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion turns the voice only to get rammed in the face by the spirit charged fist of Solar Universe that sends her flying right into the ocean!

 

The Sailor Animamates assembled see this and they yell out in unison, “Heavy Metal Papillion-sama!” Immediately, the Sailor Animamates immediately break off the fight to get to their fallen leader as she leaps out of the area of the water that she was sent into. On the meanwhile, Queen Beryl rejoins her generals and finds that the battle isn't going well.

 

Queen Beryl tells Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion, “Bah! It looks these urchins aren't as weak as we thought!”

 

Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion says, with a nod, “Agreed! We should rethink our plans!”

 

Queen Beryl and Sailor Heavy Metal Papillion yell out in unison, “Withdraw!” Immediately, the villains and the youma vanish as quickly as they have appeared and our heroes and heroines quickly regroup.

 

Raihimon says, with a plain tone, “That was tough.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, with a plain tone, “I can't believe that there are more Animamates that we didn't know about!”

 

Sailor Neptune says, with a plain tone, “It looks like when Chaos controlled Galaxia that it didn't bring its full forces when we fought the Animamates around a year ago.”

 

Shining Warrior asks Valkyrie Sailor Moon, “Are your parents okay Serena-onee-chan?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “Yeah! TK and Kari along with their Digimon partner got them to the Red dorm safely!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Mars says to Valkyrie Sailor Universe and her boyfriend, “Speaking of whom, how did you join us so fast? You came in as soon as we came in that I didn't have time to ask.”

 

Olympian Solar Sun says, with a sly grin, “We're Senshi and half-demons, Rei. We just got out when all of you were piling out and it wasn't too hard to catch up.”

 

Kurama says, with a plain tone, “Needless to say, this `team up' does cause us problems.”

 

Tai says, annoyed, “We need this like a hole in the head.”

 

Sailor Dark Star says, plainly, “No joke.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Emerald Bright Star asks, curiously, “What do we do now?”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Garnet Dark Star replies, plainly, “We will need to come up with new plans and tactics to stop them.”

 

Tsunade says, with a nod, “Good point, Erin.”

 

Sailor Andromeda says, with a concerned tone, “We show also see if your family is okay.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon replies, with a sigh, “Yep! And boy, do I have some explaining to do.”

 

Sailor Venus says, with a nervous smile, “Yeah! Beryl and that new Animamate kind of let the cat out of the bag.”

 

Aldamon says, nervously, “I don't think that those talking cats of yours would like that.”

 

Sailor Venus says, with a nervous blush on her cheeks, “Oops!”

 

Daipenmon asks, nervously, “What about the damage to the pier?”

 

Just then Washu teleports in and she says, with a sly grin, “Leave that to me!”

 

Ryoko says, annoyed, “Oh, boy!”

 

Washu says, with a bit of an annoyed tone on her voice, “Hey! Don't think that I can do a little repair job?!”

 

Ryoko says, with a plain tone, “No. I'm worried about you overdoing it.”

 

Ayeka says, with a slight nervous tone, “Yes. Miss Washu, even through I hate to agree with the pirate, you are quite `grand' in your projects.”

 

Washu says, proudly, “That's because I'm the Great Washu, greatest scientific mind the universe!”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Big Bang says, with a sweatdrop, “You have got to be kidding me! People from the stars are more ridiculous than humans of this time!”

 

Zera thinks in her mind, perplexed, “What kind of person is this Washu? She has great intelligent and wisdom, but she seems childish nature at times!”

 

Sailor Aurora Star asks Washu, “Miss Washu, try not to go overboard, okay?”

 

Washu says, with a child-like pout, “Okay!”

 

Shadow Warrior says, with a plain tone, “We should get back to Serena's parents.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, with a moan, “What am I going to do? How am I supposed to explain about this?” Tuxedo Mask then goes over and gives Valkyrie Sailor Moon a loving smile of reassurance and she smiles back warmly.

 

Tuxedo Mask tells Valkyrie Sailor Moon, lovingly and reassuringly, “Don't worry, Sere. We're here for you.”

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon replies, with a loving tone, “Thank you, love. I'll be all right.” As our heroes and heroines prepare to head back, Valkyrie Sailor Moon isn't so sure that her confidence is right.

 

(A short time afterwards; Back at the Slifer Red dorm)

 

Returning to the Slifer Red dorm, we find Serena's parents are being briefed about everything by Luna and Atremis. Needless to say, finding out that daughter's pet cat can talk and is intelligent as any human being, will invoke many emotions and a few of them are pleasant. Soon after, we find our heroes and heroines assembling together and Serena's Earth parents immediately looking at our Moon Princess.

 

Kenji says, plainly, “There you are, Serena!”

 

Serena says, weakly, “Dad, I . . . I can explain . . .”

 

Kenji yells out, in a stern tone through panic and worry are laced inside the tone, “Explain! Explain that one year after we got you `back from the dead', you become a super-hero fighting evil demons and monsters! And you never told us one bit of it! Serena, I don't mean to yell, but for five years, we thought you were dead! Killed by that snake freak, Orochimaru, who I might add, is most of the worst village from the ninja realms! And when you return, we find that you became a pirate and had a demon sealed inside of you! I barely kept it together after learning about that.”

 

Jade asks Serena, in a whisper, “We didn't hear that part. That bad?”

 

Serena replies, in a whisper and nervously, “Yeah. My dad is quite overprotective of me because of my Earth bloodline and namely my Kekkai Genkai.”

 

Ikuko tells Kenji, with a calm tone, “Sweetie, please calm down. All this about our sweet Serena being some kind of reincarnated alien princess and all is very surprising to me, but I already she was Sailor Moon all along.” Immediately, a lot of gasps especially from our Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts, Darien, Sammy, and Kenji, are heard as everyone looks at Ikuko. Ikuko says, with a smile, “It wasn't that hard. I mean, my daughter has the same pigtails like Sailor Moon and those Genjutsu-type spells place on the Sailor Scouts to make them unrecognizable wasn't too hard for me to get around. I am an ex-Shinobi after all. The saying goes: `Ninja must see through deception'.”

 

Sammy yells out, amazed, “Wait! Why did you act all surprised then?”

 

Ikuko says, with a smile, “It is quite simple sweetie. If I acted like I had known all along, who knows what evil villainess, Beryl is what I think she called herself, would have done?” Ikuko says, with a blush on her cheeks, “I took a peek at some of Serena's comics.”

 

Luna says, with a blush, “Yes. I was quite surprised to see that, ma'am.”

 

Kenji asks Ikuko, “Dear, if you knew all along that Serena was Sailor Moon, why didn't you tell me or Sammy?”

 

Ikuko tells Kenji, with a kind smile, “I didn't say a word because even I was scared for Serena, something inside me told me that she was meant for this. That she was meant for a greater purpose beyond our understanding. Deep down, ever since she was born, I felt that she was going to be special even for someone of my blood, the surviving daughter of the Tsukikage and the Hidden Moonlight Village. It looks like I was right.”

 

Serena comes forward and she says, with a weak smile, “I'm sorry that I never told you.”

 

Ikuko tells Serena, with a warm smile, “I am not mad at you. Stunned and a bit disappointed that you never told us even through I already knew sometime after you became Sailor Moon, but I can understand why. As any super-hero, you wanted us to be safe because if the villains found out who you really are, we would be danger.”

 

Matt says, nervously, “Well, the bad news is that the majority of our enemies know exactly who is now.”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly grin, “Don't worry, your kid can take care of herself.”

 

Kuwabara says, with a sly smile, “Yeah! She has more than enough power to kick your butt, Urameshi!”

 

Yusuke bashes Kuwabara in the forehead and he says, annoyed, “Well, I've got more than enough power to kick your butt without even half trying Kuwabara!”

 

Ikuko says, with a smile, “It looks like that you have become friends with quite the `colorful' crowd.”

 

Serena then points to Naruto, Kari, Seira, and Jaden and she says, “By the way, mom, this is Seira, one of my sisters from the Silver Millennium. Along with them are Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and Jaden Yuki, two of my brothers from the Silver Millennium reborn, and Kari Kamiya, another reborn sibling of mine.”

 

Seira says, with a bow, “It is an honor to meet you.”

 

Kenji says, nervously, “Likewise.”

 

Naruto asks Serena, in a whisper, “Hey, Serena, are you going to tell them about?”

 

Luna whispers in and she tells Naruto, “Actually, I told them everything that happened thus far.”

 

Serena says, taking off her right glove and exposing her `Dragon Birthmark' on her right arm, “Then I guess then you know about this.”

 

Ikuko says, with a gasp, “That looks like the birthmark that you had around your neck!”

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “Yeah. This is the mark of the `Signer', one of a `Chosen One' of the Crimson Dragon, and this is my `Dragon Birthmark', which contains a portion of a Crimson Dragon's power.” Just then Serena's Dragon Birthmark gives off a bright glow along with her brooch and Millennium Necklace causing her to yelp out in pain as she holds her arm in pain.

 

Rei yells out, shocked, “Serena!”

 

Davis asks, perplexed, “What the heck is going on here?!”

 

Tenchi says, stunned, “Her brooch, Millennium Item, and Dragon Birthmark are going crazy!” TK, Davis, and Keiko check their Dragon Birthmarks and find that they are glowing, but only slightly.

 

TK yells out, stunned, “Our birthmarks! They're glowing, too, but not as much as Serena's birthmark!”

 

Keiko asks, perplexed, “What's going on here?”

 

Atem says, with a serious tone, “I sense some kind of presence . . .”

 

Yugi asks, curiously, “Presence?”

 

Just then the female voice that call out to Serena's mind calls out, “Serena . . .”

 

Serena's crescent moon sigil appears on her forehead and she says, weakly, “Who's c-calling me?”

 

Mina asks, confused, “No one called out to you, Serena!”

 

Kurama says, with a serious tone, “I think that someone or something is calling her telepathically.” Just then Serena's form starts to fade out of existence.

 

Darien, Ikuko, Kenji, Sammy, and Rei yell out in unison, horrified when they see this, “Serena!”

 

The voice tells Serena, “I need your help . . . your promise . . . your promise . . .”

 

Serena croaks out, weakly, “P-Promise . . . I don't . . . what you mean . . .” Soon after, Serena's form starts to fade away completely and Darien tries to grab her, but his arms pass through Serena as she fades away completely.

 

Many of our heroes and heroines along with Serena's Earth family yell out in shock, “Serena!”

 

Kenji yells out, horrified, “What happened to her?”

 

Atem says, with a serious tone, “A powerful force transported her into another realm.”

 

Tea asks, curiously, “Wait! Like another dimension?”

 

Atem says, with a nod, “Yes. Someone or something had enough power to take Serena into another realm. Or it could be possible that this force had a `bond' with Serena. I'm not sure what it is, but it is either one.”

 

Sasami asks, worriedly, “What do we do?” Just then Washu teleports onto the screen, much to the surprise of Serena's Earth family most of all.

 

Washu yells out, with a smile, “Hey, gang, what's up?!”

 

Ayeka says, worriedly, “Miss Washu, Lady Serenity has disappeared!”

 

Washu asks, perplexed, “How did that happen when she was right here?”

 

Zane says, with a dark plain tone, “We believe that she was teleported into another dimension by a powerful force that's strong enough to do or has a `bond' with Serena.”

 

Washu says, interested, “That's interesting.”

 

Tenchi asks Washu, “Washu, do you think that you could track her?”

 

Washu creates a holographic screen and she says, with a sly smile, “Do you remember who you are talking to? I'm already on it!” Just then Washu uses her advanced scanners and technology to try to find a way to track Serena.

 

Molly goes up to Serena's Earth parent and she tells them, kindly, “Don't worry. Serena is a strong person. She will be all right.” Molly points to the other heroes and heroines assembled and she says, with a kind smile, “Serena has made a lot of new friends and she has all of us, her original and childhood friends, here to help.”

 

Ikuko says, with a weak smile, “I know.”

 

Rei says, with a smile, “Don't worry, Miss Tsukino. It is our duty as Sailor Soldiers of the Moon Kingdom to protect Serena.”

 

Tai says, with a sly grin, “And Serena is one of us: A Digidestined!”

 

Matt says, with a smile, “And we never give up on each other! We won't stop until she is back here safe and sound!”

 

Yolei says, with a nod, “Yeah!”

Takuya says, with a sly grin, “You know it!”

Sora says, with a kind smile, “Believe in all of us and we will bring her home.”

 

Ikuko says, with a warm smile, “I do.”

 

Sammy says, with a sly grin, “Don't worry, mom! Meatball Head has a set of awesome friends! I should know since I got to know them!” Sammy then displays his D-Tector digivice and says, with a sly grin, “And since I'm part of one of them too!”

 

Kenji says, with a sigh, “This is getting too much. I'm getting too old for this.”

 

Ikuko says, with a giggle and sigh, “Oh, dear.”

 

Darien thinks in his mind, determinedly, “Don't worry, my love. I won't rest until you are home!”

 

(In another dimension; A bit later on)

 

Inside of another dimension, we find our Moon Princess sleeping on a bed of soft green grass as butterflies and fairies pass by and then she moans as she slowly regains consciousness. Serena slowly rises to her feet and rubs her head as she does so while keeping her eyes closed.

 

When she does get to her feet, Serena moans out, “Ouch! Who is the wiseguy?” When Serena opens her eyes, she looks to see that she is in a beautiful forest and she asks, perplexed, “What the? Where am I?” Just then she sees Dancing Fairy (1700/1000), Dark Witch (1800/1700), and other Duel Monsters of all shapes, sizes, and kinds moving around in the forest. Serena asks, stunned and rubbing her eyes, “Am I seeing things or am I in the world filled with real-life Duel Monsters?”

 

Just then a familiar voice with a Scottish accent says, “No, you aren't dreaming my dear!” Just then Serena turns to see her faithful Cyber Angels, Crystal Beasts, Advanced Crystal Beasts, and both Rainbow Dragon and Rainbow Dark Dragon in front of her.

 

Topaz Tiger tells Serena, “Serena, you have been pulled with a `Spirit World' or a world of Duel Monsters as another way to term it.”

 

Serena asks, perplexed, “How did I get here?”

 

Cyber Angel Idaten says, “It seems like a powerful force brought you here.”

 

Cyber Angel Dakini says, with a curious tone, “And it seems like that force has a familiarity with you.”

 

Serena asks, perplexed, “You mean that I could know whoever or whatever brought me here?”

 

Sapphire Pegasus says, with a nod, “Yes. However, we feel that you don't know it consciously, but subconsciously as you met this being when you were very young probably as a little girl.”

 

Just the female voice that Serena heard in her mind called out, “Yes, she did! Long ago, she came into this world, but she does not remember it because she was very young and forgotten it when she got older.”

 

Serena yells out, perplexed, “Who are you? What do you mean? Do I know you?”

 

The female voice yells out, “Please follow my song, my child! Come . . . and remember!” Just then a beautiful tune is heard throughout the forest.

 

Amethyst Cat says, amazed, “The song . . . it is so beautiful, but I sense a plea within it.”

 

Serena says, lowly, “That song . . .” Just then Serena feel soothed and relaxed as her eyes become dull as she immediately walks towards the source of the voice in a trance.

 

Cobalt Eagle yells out, shocked, “Serena!” Ruby chirps out as if to ask: `What's wrong with her'?

 

Advanced Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger says, darkly, “It's simple! The song is calling out to her and she can't help to obey its call.”

 

Cyber Angel Benten says, with a serious tone, “Well, we need to follow her.”

 

Advanced Crystal Beast Cobalt Eagle says, darkly, “No kidding, toots!” Immediately, the Duel Monsters immediately rush after their `mistress' as she continues to walk to the source of the song in a trance.

 

(Within the headquarters of the Orichalcos; at this time)

 

Within the Orichalcos' headquarters, we find Dartz kneeling in front of the Orichalcos wall tablet as he uses its power to observe what is happening outside of the walls of his headquarters.

 

Dartz says, with an evil sly grin, “Interesting.”

Just then a familiar evil female voice calls out, “Is anything wrong, Lord Dartz?” Just then Dartz gets to his feet and looks to see Kaorinite walk into the room.

 

Dartz says, with an evil smile, “Ah, good! They have revived you like advised.”

 

Kaorinite asks, curiously, “And I thank you for that! But you seem distracted, is there anything wrong?”

 

Dartz says, with an evil smile, “No. Actually, I have found that Miss Tsukino AKA Princess Serenity has been transported to a Duel Monsters Spirit World: A world where Duel Monsters are real.”

 

Kaorinite asks, with a curious tone, “Really? What is she doing there?”

 

Dartz says, with an evil smile, “I am not sure, but we can't miss up a chance to capture her powerful soul.”

 

Kaorinite asks, evilly, “What did you have in mind?”

 

Dartz asks Kaorinite, curiously, “How goes the training of Witches Five and Mistress Nine in the ways of Duel Monsters?”

 

Kaorinite says, with a plain tone, “They are doing quite well. Actually, thanks to that little brat's, Hotaru's, memories, Mistress Nine has already mastered the game. Plus, Viluy, with that brain of hers, has also managed to master the game quite well as well.”

 

Dartz asks Kaorinite, with an evil sly smile, “Good. Can you ask Mistress Nine to bring Viluy to me? I plan to send her to the Spirit World to get Sailor Moon's soul.”

 

Kaorinite says, with an evil smile, “With pleasure.” Soon after, Kaorinite walks away to tell Mistress Nine of Dartz's request and when she is gone, he looks into the ceiling with an evil smile on her lips.

 

Dartz says, with an evil smile, “Soon, the Great Leviathan will be revived and all of man-kind, Digimon kind, and demonic kind will be wiped out and the world shall be restarted anew as Paradise reigns again!” Dartz laughs evilly with a bone chilling laugh that would send chills down even the strongest of men's and women's spines.

 

(Later on; Back in the Duel Monsters' Spirit World)

 

Within the Duel Monsters' Spirit World, we find Serena, deep in a trance with her dull eyes following a beautiful song, into a portion of the forest that looks like that it was burned into the ground.

 

Cobalt Eagle asks, perplexed, “Whoa! What happened here?”

 

Cyber Angel Dakini says, seriously, “An evil force was here. The forest shows scars of evil intent on it.” Just then Serena stops in front of a large rock in front of a river that seems to contain the skeleton of a dragon and the song stops causing Serena to snap out of the trance.

 

Serena asks, perplexed, “What . . . What's going on?”

 

Serena's Duel Monster Spirits, in their `real' forms, get over to her and Topaz Tiger asks, concerned, “Are you all right?”

 

Sapphire Pegasus tells Serena, “You were in a trance of some sorts caused by that song.”

 

Serena says, nodding her head, “Yeah, I remember. The song, it was so soothing . . . so familiar to me . . .”

 

Just then the female voice calls out, “It was the soothed you to sleep when you were here, my precious one.” Just then everyone looks towards the rock and the female voice says, with a plain tone, “Yes, this is me. Sealed inside by an evil force.”

 

Serena says, with a curious tone, “You are the one that called me? I seem to know you.” Just then the image of Ancient Fairy Dragon appears in her mind and she yells out, realizing, “Wait! I remember! Ancient Fairy Dragon!”

 

Serena's Duel Monsters gasp in shock and Cyber Angel Benten asks, curiously, “You mean your `Signer Dragon'?”

 

Just then Serena's `Dragon Birthmark' glows and the female voice calls out, “Yes! I am Ancient Fairy Dragon, one of the five dragons of the Crimson Dragon legend, and I am the one assigned to aid Serena. However, she and I go way back! When she was just four years ago, during an attack by a rogue ninja, you hit your head, do you not remember?”

 

Serena says, rubbing her head, “Yeah. I remember when I asked my mom about it. We were attacked as we kept running from people trying to get their hands on our bloodline trait. I was attacked by a rogue ninja and knocked into a tree. I was in a coma for around one whole month!”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon's voice calls out, “And you were here, my child! In my care, my protection, and in our world! Remember . . .!” Just then the whole area beings the swirl and change in front of Serena's and her Duel Monster Spirits' eyes and when it is done, the forest area has transformed into a lush green forest area.

 

Advanced Crystal Beast Topaz Tiger asks, darkly, “What the?”

 

Sapphire Pegasus says, with a plain tone, “Images from the past.” Just then they hear a familiar giggle, but it sounds like that of a toddler. And when everyone looks to the source, they find a four-year old Serena playing around some Fairy-type Duel Monsters being watched by Ancient Fairy Dragon.

 

Serena says, stunned, “That's me!”

 

Amethyst Cat says, with a sly smile, “You were quite the cutie when you were a little girl, Serena.” Serena blushes in embarrassment and the group looks on at the scene of the past being shown them. As four year old Serena giggles as she plays with the Fairy-type Duel Monsters and Ancient Fairy Dragon looks on with a look of amusement on her lips.

 

Four year old Serena says, with a toddler version of Serena's voice, “This is so beautiful! I love being in this forest!”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, with a nod, “I am glad that like it here, my child. You are the first human to come to this forest and we are glad that you came.” Ancient Fairy Dragon picks Serena into its arm and she tells Serena, with a kind and loving tone, “You are like a jewel in this world, Serena. I promise to keep you safe. It is my duty.”

 

Four year old Serena says, with a loving giggle, “Thank you, Ancient Fairy Dragon.” Four year old Serena then nuzzles Ancient Fairy Dragon's chin and female dragon Duel Monster starts to sing the same tune that Serena and the others heard before causing four year old Serena to yawn as she falls into a deep peaceful sleep.

 

Serena says, with a warm smile on her lips, “I remember. My spirit came to this world and Ancient Fairy Dragon and the monsters of this forest took me in. After being on the run and scared for so long, I could relax and enjoy myself. Ancient Fairy Dragon took care of me like I was her child.” The scene switches to the same forest and four year old Serena is playing as storm clouds appear in the distance.

 

Four year old Serena tells Ancient Fairy Dragon, curiously, “Those storm clouds are scary! Why are they here?”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon tells four year old Serena, solemnly, “I fear that evil forces are trying to take over this world and they are causing damage to this world in their ruthless attempts to use us and this world.”

 

Four year old Serena says, horrified, “That's so wrong! And mean!”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, with a solemn tone, “There is no reasoning with them. They will continue to poison our world unless someone can stop them.”

 

Four year old Serena says, curiously, “Who?”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon tells four year old Serena, with a kind smile, “You, Serena. You have the heart and power needed to protect this world.”

 

Four year old Serena asks, perplexed, “Me? What can I do?”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon tells four year old Serena, with a kind tone, “You have the will and strength needed to defend our world from this evil. It is why you were sent here. To aid us against this and all evils that would seek to harm our world. I know because I felt the strength within you.”

 

Four year old Serena says, nervously, “I don't know if I can do this alone.”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon tells four year old Serena, with a kind smile, “You are not alone, Serena. I am here. I will always here. If not physically, I will always be here in spirit.”

 

Four year old Serena says, amazed, “Really? Thank you! And I promise to always protect this world.”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, with a kind loving tone, “Thank you, my darling Serena.” Just then the scene returns to normal desolate state that this portion of the forest is in and Serena sheds a few tears from her eyes.

 

Serena says, solemnly, “I remember now. I promised her. I promised Ancient Fairy Dragon that I would protect this place. But then I . . . I went home and I forgot my promise.” Serena says, falling to her knees, “And now . . .”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon's voice calls out, “Do not cry, Serena, my dear human child. You were so young. You couldn't have remembereda time so long ago. I know human abilities to remember well and so many people can't remember back to the age that you were. Plus, your powers wereeven awakened yet and I knew that you couldn't stop this evil. You had to be sent away until you can return to aid us. You are here now and that's all that matters. I know that you will fulfill your promise, my Princess of the Moon. I always knew that you were something special.”

 

Serena gets to her feet, wipes her tears, and she tells Ancient Fairy Dragon, with a warm smile, “Thank you. I promise that I will protect my world and all the world from the evils that plague it. And I will restore this place before it's fully glory.”

 

Just then an evil sly female voice calls out, “Isn't that sweet?” Serena and her Duel Monster companions turn around to see Viluy right in front of them with a Chaos Duel Disk with a dueling deck inside attached to her left wrist.

 

Serena yells out, shocked, “What are you doing here?!”

 

Topaz Tiger says, seriously, “I know her! She is one of the villains that you faced that was revived! One of those Witches Fives!”

 

Viluy says, with an evil sly grin, “Well, it looks like your Duel Spirit has more brains than you, Meatball Head.”

 

Serena calls out, seriously, “What are you doing here?” Serena then gasps to see a Chaos Duel Disk on her left wrist and yells out, stunned, “Those belong to Dartz and the Orichalcos!”

 

Viluy says, with an evil smile, “That's right, Moon brat! We've allied ourselves with Dartz and the Orichalcos since we share the destruction of all living beings on this plant in our minds!”

 

Serena yells out, seriously, “I should have known that you would go this low!” Serena then gasps in horror as the area around Viluy's feet starts to freeze and more damage to this realm starts to take form. Serena calls out, strongly, “You have to leave this place! Your evil aura is damaging this realm!”

 

Viluy says, with an evil smile on her lips, “Like I care! All I care is about getting your soul and getting rid of you once and for all!” Just then Serena's brand new 5ds Duel Disk appears on her left wrist and she takes out her `Signer Deck'.

 

Serena says, with a serious tone, “Everyone, stand back. I made a promise to defend this world! And I won't go back on my word!” Serena puts her `Signer Deck' in her duel disk, her duel disk automatically shuffles her cards, and she thinks in her mind, “My old friend, Ancient Fairy Dragon, please help me.”

 

Amethyst Cat tells Serena, “Be careful, Serena. We are here for you.” The Cyber Angels, Crystal Beasts, Advanced Crystal Beasts, and Rainbow Dragons go to the sidelines as Serena and Viluy activate their duel disks, their life-points counters display 4000 life-points each, and they draw five cards from their decks.

 

“Duel!” Viluy and Serena yell out in unison as their duel begins.

 

Starting Scores:

Serena: 4000

Viluy: 4000

 

Viluy draws one card from her deck and calls out, “I'll go first!” Her Field Spell slot opens and she says, with an evil sly grin, “And I'll start with my Seal of Orichalcos Field Spell card!”

 

Serena yells out, shocked, “Hold up! If you use that card, you are risking your soul too!”

 

Viluy says, with an evil sneer, “And who asked you for your opinion? I'm just here to take your pathetic soul!” Viluy puts the card into the Field Spell slot and when it closes, a huge eerie wind surges onto the field causing the Seal of Orichalcos to surround the two duelists as Viluy screams as the power surges through her. When it is done, the mark of the Orichalcos appears on her forehead and her eyes gain an eerie red glow. Viluy says, with an evil smile, “Now that's some power!”

 

Just then the area that the two of them were starts to decay even more and Sapphire Pegasus says, with a serious tone, “Serena! The evil of the Orichalcos is causing more damage to this world! If you don't hurry, the damage here could be irreversible!”

 

Serena gasps in horror and Viluy says, with a dark cold sly tone, “Yeah, your majesty! You had better pick up the place! Oh, wait! It's still my turn!” Viluy puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, “First, I summon my Ice Knight in attack mode!” Just then Ice Knight (1300/1200) appears on the field in attack mode. Viluy says, with an evil smile, “First of all, it gets five hundred attack points thanks to the Orichalcos, but it also gains another four hundred thanks to its special ability!” Just then Ice Knight gains the mark of the Orichalcos on its forehead and red glowing eyes as its stats rise from 1300/1200 to 2200/1200! Viluy puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, with an evil sly grin, “I'll place this face-down and end my turn!”

 

Serena thinks in her mind, with a serious tone, “I don't want to fight this duel, but I have to protect this world and I have to win soon or the evil of the Orichalcos will damage it for good!” Serena says, drawing one card from her deck, “It's my turn!” Serena puts one card into the spell/trap slots and calls out, “I play my Ancient Rules spell card! This card allows me to summon one level five or above Normal monster from my hand directly to the field!” Serena puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, “Come forth, Wingweaver!” Just then Wingweaver (2750/2400) comes to the field in attack mode. Serena yells out, strongly, “Wingweaver, attack her Ice Knight now!” Wingweaver launches a wave of holy energy into Ice Knight and destroys it costing Viluy 550 life-points. Serena puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and she says, “I place two card face-down and end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 4000

Viluy: 3450

 

Viluy draws one card from her deck and yells out, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I play my trap: Call of the Haunted!” Viluy's face-down card is revealed to be the Call of the Haunted continuous trap card and Viluy says, with an evil smile, “Now, I can revive one monster from my grave in attack mode! So, come back Ice Knight!” Just then Ice Knight (1300/1200-2200/1200) returns to the field while embracing the powers of the Orichalcos once more. Viluy puts one card on her duel disk and yells out, “And now, I sacrifice him to summon Mobius the Frost Monarch in attack mode!” Serena gasps as Ice Knight is frozen and becomes replaced by Mobius the Frost Monarch (2400/1000-2900/1000) in attack mode while he embraces the power of the Orichalcos. Viluy then says, with an evil smile, “And now, his ability destroys two cards on the field! So, say goodbye to your face-downs! Go, Freeze Play!” Just then Mobius unleashes an blizzard that destroys Serena's face-down card, Dummy Marker and Mirror Wall trap cards.”

Serena says, drawing one card from her deck, “Since you destroyed my Dummy Marker, I get one card from my deck!”

 

Viluy yells out, with a dark cold smile, “You'll need it! Mobius, attack her Wingweaver with Ice Lance!” Just then Mobius creates a lance made of ice and launches it at Wingweaver causing it to impale Wingweaver. She cries out as she is destroyed while Serena loses 150 life-points.

 

Serena yells out, shocked, “Wingweaver!”

 

Viluy puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, with an evil sly grin, “I'll throw this face-down and end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 3850

Viluy: 3450

 

Serena says, drawing one card from her deck, “It's my move!” Serena puts one card on her duel and she says, “I play my Tuning spell card! Thanks to this spell card, I can take one Tuner monster from my deck and add it to my hand, but in return, I must discard one card for every level that monster has!”

 

Viluy asks, perplexed, “Huh?”

 

A card comes out of Serena's deck, Serena takes out, displays Counselor Lily (400/1500) Tuner monster card, and she says, “And I choose my Counselor Lily!” Just then Serena discards the top three cards of her deck and she says, “And since she is a level three, I discard the top three cards of my deck!” Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, “Next, I play my Silent Doom! This card can revive one monster from my grave in defense mode! And I choose one that I discarded with my spell card's effect! Dunames Dark Witch!” Just then Dunames Dark Witch (1800/1050) returns to the field in defense mode. Serena puts a card on her duel disk and calls out, seriously, “Next, I summon my Counselor Lily in attack mode!” Counselor Lily (400/1500) appears in attack mode. Serena says, with a serious tone, “Now, I tune my level three Counselor Lily with my level four Dunames Dark Witch!” Soon after, Counselor Lily turns into three stars and three rings in which the three rings surround Dunames Dark Witch causing her to become transparent. On the meanwhile, the sealed form of Ancient Fairy Dragon starts to glow a grass green and light golden color causing the other Duel Monsters to take notice. Just then a column of light appears behind Serena as she puts a Synchro monster card from her Extra deck on her duel disk and she yells out, “Now, I Synchro Summon my Signer Dragon: Ancient Fairy Dragon, return to me!” The sealed form of Ancient Fairy Dragon bursts into light and leaves the rock that it was sealed in it causing it to crumble as it slams behind Serena creating a huge amount of light that causes everyone expect for Serena to cover their eyes. Out of the light, a figure emerges and the light fades away to reveal Ancient Fairy Dragon (2100/3000) to appear on the field in attack mode.

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, strongly, “I live again!” Ancient Fairy Dragon gives a mighty roar of power as Serena's Dragon Birthmark blazes to life.

 

(Back with the others; at this moment)

 

Returning to our heroes and heroines, we find them waiting anxiously for any progress by Washu, helped by Ami, Izzy, and Bastion, but then Keiko, Davis, and TK yelp out as pain goes through their right arms.

 

Kari asks, shocked, “Dai-kun, are you okay?”

 

Davis says, groaning in pain, “My arm . . . it hurts . . .”

 

Keiko says, groaning in pain, “Mine too . . .”

 

Alister asks Keiko, stunned, “What's causing it?” Davis, TK, and Keiko expose their right arms and they gasp to see their Dragon Birthmarks giving off a powerful red glow.

 

Alexis says, amazed, “It's their Dragon Birthmarks.”

 

Syrus asks, perplexed, “What do you think what's causing that?”

 

Jaden says, “It's got to be Serena! She must be in a duel and she summoned her dragon!”

 

Bastion says, with a nod, “Jaden has a point!” Just then they hear Yusuke yelp out and everyone looks to see him holding his right arm in pain.

 

Kira asks Yusuke, concerned, “Yusuke, what's wrong?”

 

Yusuke says, groaning in pain, “My arm . . . it feels like it is on fire . . .” Yusuke exposes his right arm and many of our heroes and heroines gasp to see a red birthmark like a pair of dragon wings appears on his right arm.

 

Tyranno yells out, perplexed, “Whoa! When did that get there?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain tone, “It's the final Dragon Birthmark: The wings of the Crimson Dragon.”

 

Matt asks Yeshua, stunned, “Are you sure?”

 

Yeshua says, with a nod, “Yes. We found our final `Signer'.”

 

Ino asks, perplexed, “Is it me or Yusuke and Keiko the only couple that are both `Signers' and `Chosen Duelists'?”

 

Tenten asks, confused, “What does that have to do with anything?”

 

Alexis says, with a serious tone, “Well, we do know that Serena is all right. At least for the moment, but if she is dueling, I'm not sure that it is for the right reasons.”

 

Ami says, with a nod, “We will move quicker to find her.”

 

Washu says, with a plain tone, “Don't expect us to find her too quickly.”

 

Izzy says, with a serious tone, “However, we'll do our best.”

 

Sora says, with a nod, “We know that you will try your best Izzy.”

 

Kagome says, concerned, “I hope that Serena will be okay.”

 

Sanosake says, with a sly grin, “Oh, don't worry, Sissy. She is Sailor Moon, after all. There is nothing that she can do.”

 

Rei thinks in her mind, seriously, “Unfortunately, that's what the press wants you to think! She might have quiet the `past lives' and she is very powerful, but Meatball Head isn't all powerful! And there are some things that she can't do! Man! I hate feeling helpless!”

 

Darien thinks in his mind, concerned, “Please be okay, Sere.”

 

Rini thinks in her mind, worriedly, “Mom!”

 

(Returning to the Duel Monsters' realm; A brief time soon after)

 

Back with Serena and Viluy, our Moon Princess has just summoned her Signer Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon (2100/3000), and she gives a roar of power.

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon tells Serena, “Thank you, my child. By playing my card, the one that Pegasus made for me, I am free from the seal and can be your side once!”

 

Serena says, with a warm smile, “It is good to be with you, again.”

 

Viluy says, with a dark cold sneer, “Ha! Well, you had better keep your reunion short since I'm going to take your soul, brat!”

 

Serena says, with a strong tone, “Not with Ancient Fairy Dragon on by my side! And thanks to Counselor Lily, since she was used in a Synchro Summon, I can give up five hundred life-points to boost Ancient Fairy Dragon's attack powers by one thousand this turn!” Viluy gasps in shock as Serena's life-points drop by 500 points while Ancient Fairy Dragon's stats increase from 2100/3000 to 3100/3000! Serena yells out, strongly, “Ancient Fairy Dragon, destroy her Frost Monarch!” Ancient Fairy Dragon launches a beam of rainbow energy that slams into Mobius with strong force that causes Viluy to cry out as she loses 200 life-points. Serena puts two cards into the spell/trap slots and she says, plainly, “I place two cards face-down and end my turn!” On the meanwhile, Ancient Fairy Dragon's stats reduce down from 3100/3000 to 2100/3000.

 

Current Score:

Serena: 3350

Viluy: 3250

 

Viluy gives a growl of annoyance and says, with a dark cold serious tone, “Not bad, but not good enough!” Viluy draws one card from her deck and calls out, putting one card on her duel disk, “I summon Cold Enchanter in attack mode!” Just then Cold Enchanter (1600/1200-2100/1200) appears on the field in attack mode while embracing the power of the Orichalcos. Viluy says, discarding one card from her hand, “And now, I play her ability! When I send one card from my hand to the grave, my Cold Enchanter causes your `pet' to get an Ice Counter, making her unable to switch modes and making it a `sitting duck'!” Ancient Fairy Dragon yelps as a patch of ice forms on its body.

 

Serena yells out, shocked, “Ancient Fairy Dragon!”

 

Viluy says, with an evil sly grin, “But that's not all! For every Ice Counter on the field, Cold Enchanter gains three hundred attack points!” Cold Enchanter's stats from 2100/1200 to 2400/1200! Viluy calls out, strongly, “Cold Enchanter, put the chills on her little lizard!” Cold Enchanter fires a beam of freezing energy from her staff at Ancient Fairy Dragon.

 

Serena pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, “Wrong! I play my Waboku trap card!” Serena's face-down card is revealed to be the Waboku trap card and three maidens appear to shield Ancient Fairy Dragon from the attack. Serena says, with a serious tone, “Thanks to my trap card, my life-points and my friend are safe!”

 

Viluy pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, “That's what you think, brat! I play my Arctic's Revenge trap card!” Just then Viluy's face-down card is revealed to be a trap card with a picture someone trapped in an ice blizzard. Viluy says, with an evil smile, “You see, since you prevented a Water type monster from destroying a monster in battle, it causes you damage equal to that Water monster's attack points! Since Cold Enchanter has twenty-four hundred, you take twelve hundred now!” Just then the trap card launches icicle spears at Serena and she yelps out as she loses 1200 life-points.

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon yells out, shocked, “Serena!”

 

Viluy puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, “I place one card face-down and end my turn!”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 2150

Viluy: 3250

 

Serena says, drawing one card from her deck, “It's my turn!” Serena puts one card on her duel disk and shouts out, “I summon Sunlight Unicorn in attack mode!” Just then Sunlight Unicorn (1800/1000), a pearly white unicorn with blue flames as its mane, tail, and coming out of its ankles with a deep blue horn, comes to the field in attack mode. Serena says, with a plain tone drawing her top card, “Thanks to its ability, I can draw the top card from my deck and if it is a spell card, I can put it into my hand.” Serena then displays Card of Sanctity spell card and she says, with a serious tone, “And what do you know? It's a spell!” Serena puts the card into the spell/trap slots and she says, “And now, I play my Card of Sanctity and forcing both of us to draw from our decks until we have six cards!” Serena and Viluy draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands. Serena puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, “Next, I play De-Synchro spell card! This card allows me to return one Synchro monster to my Extra deck and return the monsters used to summon it back to the field! So, return Ancient Fairy Dragon!” Ancient Fairy Dragon vanishes from the field causing Cold Enchanter's stats to reduce down from 2400/1200 to 2100/1200 while Counselor Lily (400/1500) and Dunames Dark Witch (1800/1050) return to the field in defense mode. Serena says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “Now, I play my face-down: Replacement!” Just then Serena's face-down is revealed to be a continuous trap card with a picture of Junk Synchron on a conveyor belt moving down one way and Crystal Beast Ruby Carbuncle moving down another conveyor belt in the opposite direction. Serena says, with a plain tone, “I can use this trap card three times and then it is destroyed. Its effect allows me to replace a Tuner monster with a non-Tuner monster of the same level and vice-versa! So, I replace my Counselor Lily first!” Just then Counselor Lily vanishes as she returns to her card, Serena puts the monster card back in her deck, takes out a card, and she says, putting the card on her duel disk, “Fairy Guardian, come forth!” Just then Fairy Guardian (1000/1000) comes to the field in attack mode. Serena says, with a serious tone, “And I'm not done, yet! I return Dark Witch from my deck to my deck!” Just then Dunames Dark Witch vanishes as she returns to her card, Serena puts the monster card back in her deck, and she takes out another card. Serena put one card on her duel disk and calls out, “So, I play my Hyper Synchron in attack mode!” Just then Hyper Synchron (1600/800) comes to the field in attack mode while Serena returns her deck to her duel disk after reshuffling it.

 

Viluy thinks in her mind, seriously, “She is going to summon back her Ancient Fairy Dragon!”

 

Serena says, with a serious tone, “I tune my level three Fairy Guardian with my level four Hyper Synchron!” Hyper Synchron's chest open to revealing glowing lights as it vanishes as it turns into four stars and four rings that pass through Fairy Guardian as she becomes transparent. Just then a column of light appears behind Serena as she puts a Synchro Monster card on her duel disk and she yells out, “Return to me, Ancient Fairy Dragon!” Just then Ancient Fairy Dragon (2100/3000) returns to the field in attack mode.

 

Viluy asks Serena, with an annoyed tone, “And what was the point of that?”

 

Serena says, with a sly smile, “Since Hyper Synchron was used as material for a Dragon-type Synchro monster, the monster gains eight hundred more attacks points and is unable to be destroyed in battle!”

 

Viluy yells out, perplexed, “What?!” Just then Hyper Synchron's images goes over Ancient Fairy Dragon and Ancient Fairy Dragon's stats rise from 2100/3000 to 2900/3000!

 

Serena calls out, strongly, “Ancient Fairy Dragon, destroy her Cold Enchanter!” Ancient Fairy Dragon launches a beam of rainbow energy right at Cold Enchanter.

 

Viluy pushes a button on her duel disk and shouts out, “I don't think so, brat! I play my Mirror Force trap card!” Viluy's face-down card is revealed to be a Mirror Force trap card and Viluy says, with an evil sly grin, “Sorry, Moon brat, but both of your monsters are about to hit the road!”

 

Serena puts one card into the spell/trap slots and calls out, “Wrong! I play my Trap Booster spell card! By discarding one card from my hand, I can play one trap from my hand!” Serena discards one card from her hand, puts one card in the spell/trap slots, and she says, as a hologram of Trap Jammer counter-trap card appears on the field, “And I play my Trap Jammer which makes your Mirror Force useless!” Viluy gasps as her Mirror Force vanishes and her Cold Enchanter gets slammed by Ancient Fairy Dragon's attack causing Cold Enchanter to be destroyed while Viluy yelps out as she loses 800 life-points. Serena says, with a serious tone, “Sunlight Unicorn, attack her directly!” Sunlight Unicorn gives a horse-like cry as it fires a beam of blue flames from its horn causing Viluy to yell out as she loses 1800 more life-points. Serena says, putting two cards in the spell/trap slots, “Finally, I'll place these face-down and call it a turn!”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 2150

Viluy: 650

 

Viluy says, with a dark cold sneer, “That monster of yours has got to have a weakness!”

 

Serena says, with a plain tone, “In the second turn that Synchro monster summoned using Hyper Synchron as material, it is removed from play at the End Phase!”

 

Viluy says, with an evil sly smile, “Well, don't expect to last that long!” Viluy draws one card from her deck and calls out, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “Remember the card that I discarded with Cold Enchanter's ability? Well, I play Monster Reborn to revive the card that I put in there! My all-mighty Ice Queen!” Just then Ice Queen (2900/2100-3400/2100), a royal-type female monster with a crown made of ice that covers her eyes with icicles that down from the back of her scalp like hair, wearing an icy-white and icy-blue clothing, and has an ice-blue staff with five icicles coming out of the top, comes to the field in attack mode. Viluy puts two cards into the spell/trap slots and she says, with an evil sly grin, “First, I place these face-down.” Viluy then puts another card into the spell/trap slots and she says, with an evil sly grin, “Then I play my Cold Wave spell card! This card freezes all spell and trap cards on the field for one turn!” Just then a freezing storm comes onto the field and all holograms of face-down cards in the spell/trap zones become frozen causing Serena to gasp in shock. Viluy shouts out, with an evil sly smile, “Now, Ice Queen, ice that overgrown pony!” Ice Queen launches a freezing beam of energy at Sunlight Unicorn, freezing him solid, and then he shatters apart as Serena loses 1600 life-points.

 

Serena yells out, stunned, “Sunlight Unicorn!”

 

Viluy says, with an evil smile, “I end my turn.” Soon after, all of the holograms of the face-down cards in the spell/trap zones become unfrozen.

 

Current Score:

Serena: 550

Viluy: 650

 

Serena says, drawing one card from her deck, “It's my turn!”

 

Viluy says, with an evil sly grin, “There is nothing that you can do now, Moon brat!”

Serena says, with a sly smile, “Oh, really? That's what you think!” Serena puts one card in her spell/trap slots and calls out, with a smile, “I play my Pot of Greed! This card gives me two more cards from my deck!” Serena draws two more cards from her deck and she calls out, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “I play my Dark Spell Regeneration!

Now, one monster that's level four counters as Tuner monster for this turn and I choose my Sunlight Unicorn!” Sunlight Unicorn glows as it gains Tuner monster stats and Serena says, putting one card on her duel disk, “And now, I play my Dunames Dark Witch in attack mode!” Just then Dunames Dark Witch (1800/1050) reappears on the field in attack mode. Serena yells out, with a serious tone, “I tune my Sunlight Unicorn with my Dunames Dark Witch! Synchro Summon!” Sunlight Unicorn gives a horse-like cry as it turns into four stars and four rings that go over Dunames Dark Witch as she becomes transparent. Then a column of light appears behind Serena as she puts a Synchro monster card on her duel disk and calls out, “And I play my Avenging Knight Parshath!” Just then Avenging Knight Parshath (2600/2100) appears on the field in attack mode. Serena says, with a serious tone, “And now, I play his ability! Once per turn, I can switch the mode of your monster! So, your Queen goes into defense mode!” Just then Ice Queen switches from attack mode to defense mode.

 

Viluy thinks in her mind, with an evil sly tone, “Just you try it, little minx! Once you attack, I'll use my Zero Gravity trap card to switch our monsters around and make your attack useless! Then I will use my Meteor Rain trap card to knock you for a loop for good!”

 

Serena pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, “And now, I play my face-down: Royal Decree!” Serena's face-down card is revealed to be the Royal Decree continuous trap card and Serena says, with a sly smile, “Thanks to this card, all other trap cards are useless!”

Viluy thinks in her mind, flabbergasted, “No! Without my trap cards, I can't stop her attack! This can't be happening!”

 

Serena says, with a serious tone, “Parshath, destroy her Queen!” Parshath charges in, slashes Ice Queen in half, and Viluy yells out as her monster is destroyed while she loses 500 life-points, thanks to Avenging Knight Parshath's special ability. Serena yells out, strongly, “Ancient Fairy Dragon, end this duel! Attack her directly and wipe out the rest of her life-points!” Ancient Fairy Dragon fires a beam of rainbow energy at Viluy and she cries out in extreme shock as she loses 2900 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Serena: 550

Viluy: 0

 

With the end of the duel, the holograms fades away as the Seal of Orichalcos surrounds Viluy and she cries out as her soul is taken.

 

Viluy yells out, in horror, “NO! GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE! I'LL GET HER . . .!!!” However, she doesn't get to finish as she collapses to the ground as her soul is taken while the seal fades away from the ground.

 

Serena says, solemnly, “How horrible . . .”

 

Just then Ancient Fairy Dragon reappears near her and she says, with a plain tone, “My dear Serena, she had already chosen her own path.”

 

Serena says, happily, “Ancient Fairy Dragon!”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon tells Serena, “It is good to be back, my darling Serena. Thanks to you using my card, I have been revived. And it has been sometime. You have become a beautiful young lady.”

 

Serena says, with a slight blush, “Thank you.” Serena asks, looking at the world before her, “Can we restore your world?”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, with a sigh, “With time, my dear. And if the enemy that did this can be stopped?”

 

Serena asks Ancient Fairy Dragon, “Who did this?”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, with a serious tone, “The servants of the enemies of the Crimson Dragon.”

 

Serena asks, confused, “Huh? You mean the evil from the Nazca Lines?”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, with a nod, “Yes. As we, the five Chosen Dragons of the Crimson Dragon, and the `Signers' are the warriors of the Crimson Dragon to aid the world and the universe, the evil of the Nazca Lines have their own warriors. And when the `Signers' return, their warriors shall make their presence known.”

 

Serena asks, confused, “How will we know who these `bad guys' are?”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, with a plain tone, “You and the other `Signers' will know when they appear. For now, we must return to your world. The finals battles with the Light of Destruction and Orichalcos are close.” Just then a bright light engulfs Serena, Ancient Fairy Dragon, and Serena's Duel Monsters, but then a monster that looks similar to Kuriboh without the small hands, emerald green eyes, and a tail that has a red ribbon tied to the end of it jumps into the light.

 

(Back with the others; a short time afterwards)

 

As we return to the others, a bright light appears in front of them causing them to cover their eyes and when the light fades away, the group looks to see none other than Serena standing in front of Viluy's fallen form.

 

Rini yells out, excitedly, “Mom!”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “Hi, guys! Sorry to just vanish on you like that!”

 

Rei tells Serena, with a sly smile, “You had better be sorry, Meatball Head!”

 

Just then Amara notices Viluy and she says, seriously, “What's she doing here?”

 

Serena says, with a plain tone, “Don't worry, Amara. Viluy isn't a threat . . . at least not anymore.”

 

Michelle asks, curiously, “What do you mean?”

 

Serena moves over to allow the others to get a good view of Viluy's fallen form and she says, pointing to Viluy's Chaos Duel Disk, “This might explain it.”

 

Atem says, with a serious tone, “One of the Duel Disks used by Dartz!”

 

Joey asks Serena, “You mean that you fought her in an Orichalcos duel?!”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “Yep! She lost and her soul was taken.”

 

Trista says, with a serious tone, “It looks our enemies are joining forces.”

 

Tea says, drolly, “That's just great.”

 

Erin says, with a plain tone, “If the Orichalcos and the Heart-Snatchers have joined together, we will have to deal with a deadly alliance.”

 

Rika says, drolly, “Things have turned from bad to worse.”

 

Takara says, with a smile, “Well, at least we found the final `Signer'.”

 

Serena asks, surprised, “You did? Who is it?”

 

Just then Yusuke displays his new `Dragon Birthmark' and he says, “You're looking at him.”

 

Melissa tells Serena, with a plain tone, “His Dragon Birthmark appeared when the others were glowing. You used your Signer Dragon in your duel, didn't you?”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “Yep! I used Ancient Fairy Dragon in my duel!”

 

Alexis says, with a plain tone, “Well, that explain that.”

 

Hikari then comes over with a dueling deck in hand and she says, giving it to Yusuke, “Here, bro, since you are the last `Signer', this deck belongs to you.” Yusuke takes the deck, feels a jolt of energy go through him, and his Dragon Birthmark gives off a slight glow for a second.

 

Nyoko says, with a smile, “That's his deck all right!”

 

Alister says, with a smile, “Well, we found every one of the `Signers'!”

 

Mina asks, curiously, “But doesn't that mean that the evil that the `Signers' have to fight is coming?”

 

Yeshua says, with a plain and emotionless tone, “Indeed. Most likely, they will be the next enemy that we will have to battle and victory will depend on the five `Signers' that will have to fight this evil.”

 

Davis says, drolly, “Yeah. No pressure.”

 

TK says, with a nod, “You said it, Davis. Sheesh!” Serena goes over to Darien and kisses him on the lips with a warm loving smile on her lips.

 

Serena tells Darien, lovingly, “Sorry to worry you.”

 

Darien tells Serena, with a warm loving smile, “I know that you didn't mean to. I'm just glad that you are all right.” Darien gently embraces Serena and the two of them share another passionate and loving kiss on the lips.

 

Takuya says, with a sly smile, “Get a room, you two!”

 

Koichi asks, with a sly grin, “Isn't that what you said when you and Zoe were discussing about your first dates?”

 

Takuya and Zoe give a wide blush and they yell out in unison and embarrassed, “Koichi!”

 

Atticus asks Alexis, with a sly grin, “By the way, Sissy, you and Jaden seem to be getting closer lately?”

 

Alexis and Jaden gives major blushes on their cheeks and she yells at Atticus, annoyed, “Atti, cut it out!”

 

Zane asks, with a curious tone, “What do we do about her?”

 

Tsunade says, with a plain tone, “Without her soul, she won't be trouble at all.”

 

Kakashi says, with a plain tone, “However, we should make sure that she is contained if she gets her soul back anytime soon.”

 

Lita says, with a serious tone, “That's a good idea.”

 

Tai says, with a serious tone, “Well, let's get to work!”

 

On the meanwhile, Kurama thinks in his mind, seriously, “Yusuke has been found to be the fifth `Signer' and now, all of the `Signers' are assembled together! Will the evil of the Nazca Lines reveal itself and I wonder: If one of our `Signers' get into an intense duel, will the Crimson Dragon awaken?”

 

(In an unknown location within the Digital World; Later on)

 

Deep under the surface of the Digital World, we find ourselves in some sort of `dark shrine' with a group of black cloaked figures standing in front of a dark violet pyre.

 

One figure says, with an evil sly male tone, “Well, it looks like that the final `Signer' has appeared. His name is Yusuke Urameshi and he also is a Digidestined like the Odiaba Chosen Children.”

 

Another figure says, with an evil sly female tone, “Well, Keiko Yukimura, who is also a Psychic Duelist, and Serena Tsukino AKA Sailor Moon are new Digidestined as well. Plus, the Odiaba Digidestined, Takeru Takashi and Daisuke `Davis' Motomiya, are also warriors of the Crimson Dragon. I think that it is time for us to say hello.”

 

A third figure, with light violet eyes, says, with a deep male voice, “Not yet, my dear. However, we will soon enough. And they will learn the true power of the counterparts of the `Chosen Children' of the Digital World.” The group then holds up pitch black D-3 digivices and all of them give evil snickers.

 

(Back at Duel Academy; A short time soon after)

 

At Duel Academy's beach, we find Inuyasha and Kagome walking together looking out to sea and Kagome has a guilty look on her face while Inuyasha has a perplexed one on his face.

 

Inuyasha asks Kagome, with a plain tone, “Okay, Kagome? Why did you drag me here? I'm trying my best to hide us from Zera and Melody, but with their items, I'm not sure for how long I can hide us even with your items helping us.”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, with a solemn expression, “Inuyasha, I just . . . just wanted to say . . . I just don't know how to you, Inuyasha about how sorry I am for what I did.” Kagome turns to Inuyasha and she says, with her solemn eyes, “You did so much for me and how I do pay you back? I see something happen between you and Kikyo and I assume the worst. I hurt you incredibly and you never deserved it. I should have known that Kikyo would try something like that and I let my emotions get the better of me. If it wasn't for me, all the horrible things that happened to you would have never happened.”

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome, “Kagome . . .”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, shaking her head, “No, Inuyasha! It is my fault and I have to admit it! If it wasn't for me, you would have never been brainwashed by the Orichalcos. I should have trusted you and I broke that trust and respect. I don't know why you are still with me after what I've done. I . . .” As Kagome sheds tears from her eyes, she takes out the Shikon Jewel and she tells him, solemnly, “I don't deserve to be the protector of this after what I've done. Take it, Inuyasha.”

 

Inuyasha asks, perplexed, “What?”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, solemnly, “I don't deserve to protect this jewel and I don't deserve you, Inuyasha. Maybe it is better that you take the jewel and you wish to become a full demon and be done with me.”

 

Inuyasha says, sternly, “All right, Kagome, that's enough!” Inuyasha makes Kagome look at him in the eye and he says, “All right, you made a big mistake by not trusting me and I was pissed off about that. However, I should have known about that about Kikyo as well. And personally, I feel guilty for falling into that trap and hurting so badly. But that's not the point! I didn't risk everything so that you will beat yourself up! It's done and over now and I'm going to let you beat yourself over it!” Inuyasha gently strokes Kagome's hair and he tells her, lovingly, “I told you. I will love you and I always will.”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, as tears of happiness stream down her eyes, “Oh, Inuyasha . . .” Just then Kagome embraces Inuyasha starts crying on his kimono and Inuyasha sighs as he gently hugs her with a small smile on his lips.

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome, with a loving tone, “Look, both of us made mistakes, but it is time that we move on and start over.”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, with a nod and looking at him, “Yes. But if there is anything I can do?”

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome, with a sly loving tone, “Well, I do not like it you following Melody's ridiculous rules, so, for one thing, I want you only to follow what I tell you for the time being. No arguments from you. Plus, you are not going to treat me like a dog anymore. You will treat me like an equal in our relationship, got it?” Kagome nods her head without any arguments and Inuyasha tells Kagome, with a sly loving tone, “And there are a few more things…” Just then Inuyasha whispers into Kagome's ear and he cheeks get a red flush in her cheeks.

 

Kagome asks, stunned, “You really mean that?”

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome, with a seductive loving tone not heard in him anymore, “I'm not the guy who would kid about that. I want you to be my mate and my wife. This time, I'm not going to let you go. When you become eighteen, I want us to be wed.” Inuyasha tells Kagome, putting his right hand on her chin gently, “But this is your choice. When you mate with a demon or hanyou, like me, you are mine, forever and always. There is no turning back.”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, loving tone in her voice, “I love you, Inuyasha. And I always win. I can't believe that you are still here with me, much less offering to marry me. You know, with our histories and stuff, I can't say `no'. I'm yours, Inuyasha. I want to yours. I need to be yours.” Inuyasha and Kagome then share a passionate and love-filled kiss and soon after, Inuyasha gently pushes his tongue into Kagome's mouth. Kagome greatly flushes as an immense warm feeling comes over her as Inuyasha's tongue tastes every bit of her mouth. Kagome can't help herself to melt into Inuyasha's arms as Inuyasha's hug turns into a loving embrace. After a few minutes, they release from the kiss and Inuyasha starts to kiss down her collarbone and neck causing Kagome to sigh in pleasure. Kagome says, “Inuyasha . . .”

 

When Inuyasha stops kissing Kagome, his Millennium Pendant glows and he tells her, looking into Kagome's eyes, “I'm not going to lose Kagome. Never again. And I'm going to make sure of it. I won't do anything to hurt you, but I want to make a mental link between us like that Moon Princess' link with her boyfriend. So, if you are in trouble or in danger, I can know right away and you and I can have our own talks without Melody and Zera getting in the way. They won't hear anything between because this link is between us and us alone.”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, with a nod and loving tone, “I know what you are going to say. Do it Inuyasha.”

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome, with a loving tone, “I'm going to `mark' you as my mate and don't worry, you won't have to push our relationship to `another level' as you humans call it in this time in order to do it. However, if you don't want me to . . .”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, with a loving tone, “No. I trust you, Inuyasha. I should have trusted you before, but this time, I'm totally yours.” Kagome gently closes her eyes, knowing the various ways that demons mark their `mates', as Inuyasha gently lifts Kagome's left arm while his claws and Millennium Pendant give off slight glows as he uses his claws to gently send his demonic energy into Kagome's arm. Kagome gives a slight hiss as the demonic energy goes into her body as Inuyasha traces his claws over Kagome's skin, gently cutting it at a few points, as demonic energy goes into her body and an image of Inuyasha's father in his dog demon form with Kagome's sigil in its mouth forms over her arm. On the meanwhile, Kagome can feel her mind being `linked' with Inuyasha's mind. When Inuyasha is done, Kagome looks at her new `tattoo' on her arm with any cuts being healed with demonic energy.

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome, with a sly loving tone, “This is my special mark. It is filled with my demonic energy and emits an aura to anyone with demon blood to know that you are mine. And don't worry, I won't enter your mind through our `link'.” Inuyasha tells Kagome, with a sly loving tone, “However, when I `call' I expect you to come, Kagome.”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, with a loving tone, “I'll be there.” The two of them then share a passionate and loving kiss as Zera and Melody secretly arrive on the scene.

 

Melody says, with an annoyed tone, “Geez! We're too late!”

 

Zera says, with a plain tone, “Inuyasha has infused a bit of his demonic energy into her with the use of his Millennium Pendant. He basically marked her as his mate and made a mental link with her.”

 

Melody says, annoyed, “Oh, great! That means we won't know their plans since they can communicate mentally!”

 

Zera says, with a sneer, “And most likely, that wench will find a way to find herself and Inuyasha and Inuyasha will support her the whole way.”

 

Melody says, with a snarl, “Just perfect.” Just then Melody, Zera, Kagome, and Inuyasha immediately sense a powerful evil demonic aura in the area.

 

Just then a familiar evil voice calls out, “Ah, how sweet.”

 

Inuyasha gasps and he says, lowly, “No, it can't be…” Just then the sand in front of them bursts open and Naraku, wearing his baboon costume, appears in front of them with an evil smile on his lips.

 

Kagome asks, stunned, “Naraku?!”

 

Naraku says, with an evil smile, “Yes, miko.”

 

Melody says, shocked, “What the heck is that jerk doing here? And alive? We killed him!”

 

Zera says, with a plain tone, “You told me about him. He was a half-demon created when a human allowed tons of demons to combine with him and created an evil hanyou known as Naraku. This thief fell in love with the claypot wench, didn't he? And he was the cause of many problems as you were reassembling the Shikon Jewel.”

 

Melody says, with a sneer, “No joke! This major pain is a sadistic freak of nature that's just as bad as that alien freak and that jerk that brainwashed our brother, Zera! He is pure evil incarnate and that's why we kicked his butt long ago.”

 

Naraku says, looking over the Zera's and Melody's location, “You and the other dog demon should come out, Melody.” Kagome and Inuyasha look to see Melody and Zera leap into the open.

 

Inuyasha yells out, seriously, “What are you doing here jerk?!”

 

Naraku tells Inuyasha, with an evil sly smile, “It is quite simple. The imbalance of light and darkness somehow managed to revive me and I managed to find a way to the miko's time. And I have to say that I love the world that she is from. Artificial diseases made by humans to kill other humans and even weapons that can kill with a push of a button. Your `nuclear weapons' I presume? It is full of powerful destructive weapons and powers that I could have only dreamed of!”

 

Melody asks, with a snort, “Glad that you are impressed, jerk! Why are you here?”

 

Naraku says, with an evil smile, “Simple. I plan to conquer the miko's time and gain armies and weapons as well as powers that will grant me absolute control over human and demon alike.”

 

Inuyasha yells out, strongly, “No way! We're not going to let you do in Kagome's time what you did in my time!”

 

Naraku says, with an evil sly grin, “Trying to make up for all the innocent souls that you stole with the power of the Orichalcos? Oh, I know all about that. The two of you nearly killing each other over what that claypot witch did was very amusing to see.” Inuyasha and Kagome winch from Naraku's final comment.

 

Zera says, with a deadly serious glare, “You had better watch what you say to my younger brother!”

 

Naraku asks, amazed, “Who are you?”

 

Zera says, with a plain tone, “My name is Zera, elder half-sister to Melody and Inuyasha and sister to Sesshomaru.”

 

Naraku yells out, surprised, “The infamous Zera the Destroyer?!”

 

Zera asks, with a sly tone, “Are you scared?”

 

Naraku says, with an evil smile, “No. In fact, this is a very interesting development. This shall make our second conflict much more interesting.”

 

Inuyasha yells out, strongly, “There isn't going to any more battle because you and I are settling this right now!”

 

Naraku says, with an evil sly grin, “Patience, Inuyasha. Our battle will come. I see that you have given a special `mark' to the miko to mark her as your mate. I guess that you wish to get in-between her legs in the near future.” Kagome and Inuyasha give flushes of indignant annoyance as Naraku gives an evil laugh as he gives off a bright glow forcing Inuyasha, Kagome, Melody, and Zera to cover their eyes. When the light fades away, they find that Naraku has vanished.

 

Inuyasha yells out, angrily, “Hey! Get back here you coward!”

 

Melody says, with a sneer, “I thought that we had gotten rid of that jerk once and for all.”

 

Zera tells Inuyasha, with a plain tone, “You know, bro, Melody and I don't appreciate it doing what you did.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a serious tone while putting Kagome behind him, “Look! With the way that you and Melody are, I couldn't just do go out alone with Kagome since the two of you will be following.”

 

Melody says, with a serious tone, “And for good reason! We don't know if this witch will pull the same trick again!”

Kagome says, strongly, “I won't do something that dumb again! I learned my lesson!”

 

Melody says, with a nasty tone, “Says you, wench! I trust you as far as I can spit at you!”

 

Zera says, with a deadly serious tone, “I don't say it in such wording, but I agree with Melody wholeheartedly. If you want our trust up to the level that you had to Melody before, you will have to earn it.”

 

Melody says, with a serious glare, “And you might be leading my bro on and getting to make sure that we have a harder time to keep an eye on you, but we will have our eyes on you.” Melody and Zera then take off into the distance with Inuyasha having a look of disbelief on his face.

 

Inuyasha says, with a snort, “Geez!”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, kindly, “Inuyasha, don't worry about it.” When Inuyasha looks at Kagome, she says, with a solemn expression, “Your sisters are right. I let my emotions get the better of me and much about what happened between us is my fault. And I've got to be the one to make it up since I'm the one who destroyed what trust that I had with Melody and having no trust with Zera as a result.” Kagome tells Inuyasha, with a kind smile, “I need to take care of Melody and Zera and the trust issues that I have with them on my own, Inuyasha. I can handle it, I promise.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a smile, “You had better.” Soon after, Inuyasha and Kagome share another kiss while Zera and Melody, from a nearby hiding spot that they snuck into when they pretend to head off, watch with annoyance.

 

(Within the Digital World; in the early afternoon hours)

 

Somewhere within the Digital World, we find ourselves in a large Digital World city and we find Digimon of various types, shapes, sizes, and otherwise moving around the city going about their business. Just then dark storm clouds mysteriously appear over the city and many Digimon look up into the sky.

 

A Floramon asks, perplexed, “What's going on?”

 

A Numemon calls out, stunned, “Hey! I didn't hear that there was going to be rain today!”

 

A group of Zerimon with their caretaker, a Betamon, also look up and Betamon says, stunned when he sees something, “Run!” Immediately, he and the baby Digimon start running a huge fireballs and powerful lightning bolt crash down from the sky causing mass panic in the city as major damage is getting inflicted onto the city. And in the middle of this chaos, the black cloaked figures with the black D-3 digivices watch it all with evil delight.

 

(Back in the Real World; the middle afternoon hours)

 

Returning to Academy Island, we find our heroes and heroines assembled for another training session while Serena and Sammy keep an on their mom and dad. After what happened with Queen Beryl and the Sailor Animamates, they don't want any of their other current enemies trying to pull the stunt that they did.

 

Jaden asks Luna, “Do you think that it is all right for Serena's mom and dad to be here?”

 

Luna replies, with a plain tone, “Well, we can't have them waiting in the dorms. When the Society of Light and the Light of Destruction hears about them, they will target them to lure Serena into their clutches.”

 

Naruto says, with a dark serious tone, “Not while I'm around! Believe it!”

 

Jiraiya says, with a serious tone, “Easy, Naruto. It isn't going to be easy to keep them safe with the Orichalcos and the Akatsuki around here.”

 

Tsunade asks Serena, with a plain tone, “Are you sure that none of us have the ability to beat Madara?”

 

Serena says, shaking her head, “You never fought him like I did. He is ruthless and relentless. There are very few of us with the ability to fight Madara and I have to say that only ones of us that have the chance are the ones that fought against the Light of Destruction.”

 

Ikuko says, with a sigh, “I thought that our nightmare with Orochimaru was over.”

 

Serena tells Ikuko, with a sigh, “No such luck. This guy is real stubborn that he comes back even after he is killed and suppressed in someone's body.”

 

Jiraiya tells Naruto, with a plain tone, “Hey, kid, we are going to need to accelerate your training and you are going to need special training.”

 

Naruto asks, perplexed, “Special training?”

 

Jiraiya tells Naruto, with a plain tone, “Even with your powers from the Silver Millennium, from what we know about the Akatsuki from Serena, you don't stand much of a chance against Pein, much less Madara. It is best that we need help harness your Kekkai Genkai as quickly as possible and I'm also going to put you through Senjutsu training.”

 

Hinata asks, curiously, “Senjutsu training?”

 

Jun says, with a plain tone, “Senjutsu training, also known as the Sage's Arts, is the art of combining a ninja's chakra with the chakra found within nature. It is a special art only known by the toads of the Shinobi World.”

 

Davis asks, curiously with a suspicious tone, “Don't tell me that you learned that?”

 

Jun tells her brother in reply, shaking her head, “Actually, no. However, being the Sailor Scout of Dimensions, I tend to know plenty of things that many other people couldn't come close to even start to figure out.”

 

Tai says, drolly, “Why am I not surprised? From a total flake to `Miss Know-It-All'.”

 

Jun yells at Tai, with a deadly serious glare, “You want to test me, Kamiya?!” Tai flinches from Jun's glare and shaking his head really nervously.

 

Jiraiya says, with a plain tone, “Well, Jun Motomiya is right. That's the Sage Arts. However, it comes with a couple of weaknesses. The first one that's most obvious that it requires balance to use and perform the Sage's Arts and its techniques. If you use too little chakra combination, it won't work. Too much and . . . well, you basically turn into a toad.”

 

Naruto yells out, shocked, “A toad?!”

 

Jiraiya says, with a nod, “That's right. You need to balance your own chakra with the nature chakra that you take in and use in combination with your own chakra. However, the amount of power and abilities than you use is greater than the abilities you can use normally.”

 

Sakura says, with a plain tone, “Wow! That sounds incredible.”

 

Hinata asks Jiraiya, “Have you mastered this art, Lord Jiraiya?”

 

Jiraiya says, a bit nervously, “Well . . .”

 

Jun says, with a sly grin, “Not completely. He doesn't usually like to go into `Sage Mode' as this form is called because he hasn't fully mastered balancing his chakra with the nature chakra causing him to get a slight toad-like appearance when he goes into this mode.”

 

Jiraiya yells out, suspiciously, “And how do you know that?”

 

Jun states, with a sly grin on her lips, “Sailor Scout of Dimensions, remember?”

 

Neji asks Jiraiya, “Jiraiya, you want Naruto to try an art that you haven't fully mastered yourself?”

 

Kakashi says, with a sly tone, “I believe that Naruto will be able to handle it just fine. With his `natural abilities', he will do just fine.”

 

Jiraiya says, with a sly grin, “No joke! His father would be proud of him! He has mastered his father's jutsu, the Rasengan, in quick order, so, I'm sure that it will be a piece of cake for him.”

 

Sakura states, with a serious tone, “Okay, but if Naruto starts to look like a toad, I'm going to blame you for any `mutations' got it?”

 

Jiraiya says, with a slight nervous tone, “Well, I'm not the person that's going to teach him.”

 

Jun says, plainly, “Only the realm of the Toad Summons can teach Naruto the Sage's Arts.”

 

Sasuke asks, giving a rare perplexed quirk, “Toads are going to be teaching Naruto?”

 

Alexis says, plainly, “Okay, that sound pretty ridiculous.”

 

Serena says, with a shrug, “Not to me. Talking and human-intelligence animals is quite common through I was surprised when Luna talked when we first met because I never known animals outside of the Shinobi world to talk.”

 

Rei says, with a sigh, “These days, you don't surprise me at all Serena.”

 

Mina says, with a sly grin, “In more ways than one.”

 

Just then Izzy's laptop computer starts to beep and he says, opening his laptop and activating it, “It looks like a message from Gennai.” Just then after typing for a bit, he gasps in shock.

 

Matt asks, surprised, “What is it, Izzy?”

 

Izzy yells out, shocked, “There has been a major attack in the Digital World!”

 

Our Digidestined of the group gasp in shock and Takuya asks, seriously, “Where?”

 

Izzy says, with a serious tone, “It is in Azulongmon's territory. A major Digital World city known as Circuit City has been attacked by some kind of unknown evil force.”

 

Tai asks, curiously, “Any survivors?”

 

Izzy says, solemnly, “Barely a few thousand in a city of several million Digimon.”

 

Plenty of our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Zoe says, horrified, “How horrible!”

 

Koji says, with a plain tone, “It sounds like our foes are up to their old tricks.”

 

TK says, with a nod, “I agree.”

 

Tai says, with a serious tone, “Well, I think that it is time that we showed that we haven't been fooling around.”

 

Davis says, with a nod, “Right, Tai!”

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “Hey! Why don't the rest of us come along? We're Digidestined too!”

 

TK says, worriedly, “Well, none of your Digimon have reached even their Champion levels yet. Serena and Jun have their partners at the Mega form.”

 

Kudamon says, with a smile, “However, it doesn't mean that our partners can't take care of themselves. They have powers that rival or exceed many Digimon.”

 

Kira says, with a dark serious tone, “Plus, it could be those Society Dorks again. They could be trying something with the Digital World, again. We didn't fully clear them out even through they haven't tried anything since we stopped their plans.”

 

Keiko says, with a nod, “That's a good point, Kira.”

 

Naruto says, with a sly grin, “Well, that settles it! We're coming too! Believe it!”

 

Davis says, with a sly grin, “Why not?! We are all here for the same thing you know?! Saving the world and kicking evil butt!”

 

Tai says, with a sly smile, “Well, I have to say that you are right, Davis!”

 

JP says, with a sly grin, “Yeah! We are the more experienced Digidestined and have good knowledge of the Digital World that we have been in! Plus, they have their own kick butt powers to protect themselves!”

 

Blair says, with a sly grin, “Don't forget that Sammy-kun and I are also Legendary Warriors now!”

 

Sammy says, with a sly smile, “Yep!”

 

Serena tells Ikuko and Kenji, with a warm smile, “I'm sorry. Duty calls.”

 

Kenji says, with a plain tone, “We would argue against you going into a strange world filled with monsters . . .”

 

Ikuko says, with a warm smile, “But then again, you aren't ordinary kids since I'm not an ordinary mom. Just please promise me that you will be careful.”

 

Serena says, with a warm smile, “I will. And I'll take care of Sammy too through that might be difficult since he has been working on jutsu and his Legendary Warrior skills.”

 

Sammy says, with a sly grin, “And you know it, Meatball Head!” Soon enough, our heroes and heroines prepare to move out as Ikuko looks at her daughter with pride.

 

Ikuko thinks in her mind, “Serena, I always felt that you were different from us. You are truly special. Not because you are Sailor Moon, a reincarnated alien princess, possess powerful items that very few of us even the ninja world could understand, but your heart is strong and true and even through it has been hard, you have stayed strong! But deep down, you will always remain . . . MY little princess. Please remain safe.”

 

(Sometime later; within the Digital World)

 

In the Digital World, we find our Odiaba Digidestined with their Digimon along with the Frontier Digidestined with their new members, Sammy and Blair, as well as Jun, Jaden, Yusuke, Hikari, Kira, Keiko, Kagome, Serena, Naruto, and Sasuke with their Digimon partners as they gasp in shock from the horror that they see. The large Digital World city under attack has been totally destroyed with building and streets destroyed in a set partner of a spider.

 

Kari says, horrified, “This is . . . is horrible!”

 

Yolei asks, horrified, “Who could have done this?”

 

Sasuke says, with a plain tone, “Someone that only craves destruction.”

 

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

 

Yusuke says, with a serious tone, “There is nothing that we do, Kagome.”

 

Hikari says, with a nod, “Yusuke is right. There is nothing else that we can do.”

 

Izzy says, typing on his computer, “Hey, that symbol burned into the ground of city looks familiar.”

 

Koji says, plainly, “I don't like this. Something evil and something powerful did this.”

 

Koichi says, with a nod, “I agree, brother. But what? I don't get who or what could have done this.” Just then Serena, Keiko, TK, Davis, and Yusuke yelp in pain as their `Dragon Birthmarks' glow with red light.

 

Matt asks TK, concerned, “TK, are you okay?”

 

TK says, painfully, “The birthmark, it burns . . . it's different this time . . .”

 

Yusuke says, groaning in pain, “Feels like it is burning . . . ripping into us . . .” Just then a dark laugh comes from nearby and everyone looks to see a black cloaked figure with a black Academy Duel Disk with a dueling deck inside attached to his left wrist, but there is a strange violet spider birthmark on his right arm.

 

Keiko says, shocked, “That mark . . .!!”

 

The black cloaked figure says, with a deep dark female voice, “Come and get me if you can.” Just then the black cloaked figure runs off into distance towards the city.

 

Yusuke yells out, strongly, “Hold it!” Immediately, our heroes and heroines rush after the black cloaked figure.

 

Renamon tells Jun, with a plain tone, “I don't have a good feeling about this Jun.”

 

Jun says, with a nod, “You know it, Renamon.”

 

Veemon tells Davis, in a worried tone, “Davis, I don't like this.”

 

Davis says, with a nod, “I know, buddy.”

 

Sasuke thinks in his mind, with a serious tone, “Something tells me that that this mysterious figure is leading us into a trap!”

 

(Deep in the ruined city; a good time afterwards)

 

Within the streets of the ruined city, we find our heroes and heroines, human, hanyou, and Digimon, running after the mysterious black cloaked figure and then she stops in the middle of a large clearing within the ruined city and our heroes and heroines stop some distance from her.

 

Naruto yells out, strongly, “Okay, you! You know something about what happened here! Tell us!”

 

The female black cloaked figure says, with an evil sly tone, “You want answers. You shall have them.” Just then the black cloaked figure removes the cloaked surround the cloaked figure's form to reveal a young teenage girl.

 

The teenage girl looks to be around 17 years old with long brunette hair that flows down to the end of her back, haunting and sinister violet eyes, red lipstick on her lips, a spiked leather choker around her neck with a mysterious black tag with a mysterious crest inside, black sleeveless top that covers much of her voluptuous cleavage through there is enough exposed to give her a very sexy look with a black leather jacket over the top, dark blue skirt that goes half-way to her kneecaps with a black D-3 attached, black silk stocking covering all of her legs, and dark blue high-heeled boots with five inch heels that goes up to her kneecaps.

 

Davis asks, perplexed, “What the? Who the heck are you?”

 

The teenage girl replies, with evil seductive tone, “The name is Tessera, cutie. I'm the Dark Digidestined of Seduction.”

 

Ken asks, confused, “Dark Digidestined?”

 

Tessera says, with an evil sly grin, “That's right, Kenny boy. Unlike you as the Digimon Emperor, I am a true Dark Digidestined. You see, for every light, there also comes a dark. You are the Digidestined of the Light and we are your counterparts. You are your completely opposites in every way.”

 

TK yells out, stunned, “No way! Evil Digidestined?!”

 

Tessera calls out, with an evil sly grin, “Bingo! And you see, I have my own `Dark Crest', the opposite of your goody-two-shoes crests to prove it.”

 

Tai says, with a serious tone, “So, that's why you are dressed as a `call girl'.”

 

Tessera says, with an evil sly tone, “Hey, when you got it, flaunt it. Making those of the opposite gender go nuts over you is what I do best. Through my `charms' seem to not work on other Digidestined like you.”

 

Kira asks, with a serious tone, “So, are you responsible for this?!”

 

Tessera asks, with an evil grin, “It got your attention, didn't it?”

 

Yolei yells out, shocked, “You did all this just to get our attention?!”

 

Tessera says, with an evil smile, “Yes! And you have fallen right into our trap!” Just then Tessera's eyes give off an evil blue glow and the ground around every one of our heroes and heroines starts to shake!

 

Hawkmon says, stunned, “My words!”

 

Gatomon yells out, stunned, “Where did this earthquake come from?!” Just then ground around our heroes' and heroines' feet start to rise and fall that it causes Davis and Kari to fall forward towards Tessera.

 

Veemon exclaims, shocked, “Davis!” As Davis and Kari get to their feet, a ring of dark blue flames surrounds the two of them.

 

Kari asks, perplexed, “What's going on here?”

 

Tessera says, with an evil sly smile, “Simple. Daisuke Motomiya and I are going to duel and we are not going to get interrupted.” Tessera then displays the spider-like violet birthmark on her right arm and she says, with an evil sly grin, “It is a little price that I have to pay for a gift from the `Dark Signers'.”

 

Davis asks, perplexed, “Dark Signers?”

 

Tessera says, with an evil smile, “Yes. Those that serve the enemies of the Crimson Dragon.”

 

Our heroes and heroines gasp in shock and Keiko yells out, stunned, “You mean these `Dark Signers' are servants of the evils sealed within the Nazca Lines?”

 

Tessera says, with a nod, “Bingo!”

 

Yolei says, annoyed, “That's my line!”

 

Matt says, seriously, “Yolei! This isn't the time!”

 

TK says, with a nod, “If these `Dark Signers' are the evil agents of the Nazca Lines that we were warned about. Maybe that's why our Dragon Birthmarks are reacting so weirdly.”

 

Tessera says, with an evil smile, “Ready, Motomiya? For our Duel of Darkness?”

 

Davis asks, perplexed, “Duel of Darkness? Like a Shadow Game?”

 

Tessera says, with an evil smile, “Similar, but much worse!”

 

Yusuke yells out, strongly, “I don't think so!” Just then a blast hits from nearby and everyone turns to see two more black cloaked figures with black D-3s with various being controlled by Dark Spirals.

 

Serena asks, perplexed, “More Dark Digidestined?”

 

One of the black cloaked figure says, with an evil smile, “That's right, princess. And we're here to make sure that you don't interfere. Through you can't get in there. That space is like a small pocket dimension and it won't go away until a duel is done.”

 

Takuya yells out, stunned, “Oh, great! They're trapped!”

 

Davis takes out his new 5ds Duel Disk, puts it over his left wrist where it automatically attaches, and he says, putting in his dueling deck, “Oh, well.” Davis thinks in his mind, “Most likely, this goon wants me to use my Neos deck. Well, my best bet to beat her with my new `Signer' deck. Hey, Stardust Dragon, I don't know if you have your own `spirit' in your card, but I hope you can give me a hand here.” With his dueling deck inside, Davis' duel disk shuffles his deck and he and Tessera activate their duel disks.

 

Kari tells Davis, worriedly, “Be careful, Dai-kun.” Their duel disk's life-point counters display 4000 life-points each and they draw five cards from their decks.

 

“Duel!” Davis and Tessera yell out in unison as they start their duel.

 

Starting Scores:

Davis: 4000

Tessera: 4000

 

Zoe asks, worriedly, “Is there anything we can do?”

 

Kagome says, solemnly, “No, Zoe. Davis has to fight this on his own.”

 

Yusuke says, with a snort, “This stinks!”

 

Tessera says, with an evil smile while drawing a card, “Ladies, first, Motomiya.” Tessera puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, “And I summon my Dark Crusader in attack mode!” Just then Dark Crusader (1600/200) comes to the field in attack mode. Tessera puts one card in the spell/trap slots and she says, with a sly grin, “And I'll end my turn with a face-down!”

 

Davis says, drawing one card from his deck, “It's my move! Draw!” Davis puts one card on her duel disk and calls out, “I play Speed Warrior in attack mode!” Just then Speed Warrior (900/400), a grey armored warrior with black bodysuit, mask over his eyes, air mask over his nose and mouth, and roller-skates on his feet, comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Tai asks, perplexed, “What is that?”

 

Koji says, with a serious tone, “Davis must be using his Signer Deck.”

 

Davis says, with a serious tone, “Now, Speed Warrior's special ability activates! During the Battle Phase on the turn that he is summoned, Speed Warrior's attack powers are doubled!” Just then Speed Warrior glows as his stats rise from 900/400 to 1800/400! Davis calls out, “Speed Warrior, get rid of her Dark Crusader with Hyper Sonic Slash!” Speed Warrior charges Dark Crusader, goes into a head stand as it spins around, and slams one of its armored legs into Dark Crusader, destroying him causing 200 life-points of damage to Tessera, but then a small shockwave is caused by the attack as Tessera winches in pain from the hit.

 

Kari sees small impact marks on the ground and Kari says, stunned, “There are actually impact marks on the ground.”

 

Davis asks, perplexed, “What's going on here?”

 

Tessera says, with an evil smile, “Let's just say that you will be fighting if you are fighting Yusuke's little girlfriend over there.”

 

Keiko thinks in her mind, stunned, “Is this power the same as my Psychic Duelist powers?”

 

Davis puts two cards in the spell/trap slots and he says, “I'll throw down a couple of face-downs and end my turn.” Speed Warrior's stats reduce down from 1800/400 to 900/400.

 

Current Score:

Davis: 4000

Tessera says, drawing one card, “My turn! Draw!” Tessera says, putting one card on her duel disk, “I summon Armageddon Knight in attack mode!” Just then Armageddon Knight (1400/1200) comes to the field in attack mode. Tessera takes out her deck, takes out one card from her deck, and she says, “With it, I can send one Dark monster from my deck to my grave!” Tessera puts her deck back in her duel disk, discards Cosmo Queen (2900/2450), and yells out, “And now, I attack your Speed Warrior with my Knight!” Armageddon Knight moves in to attack Speed Warrior.

 

Davis pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “Sorry, but I play my Scrap Iron Scarecrow!” Just then Davis' face-down card is revealed to be a trap card with a picture of a scarecrow made of scrap metal. The hologram of the scarecrow appears in front of Speed Warrior and negates Armageddon Knight's attack. Davis says, with a sly smile, “Thanks to this card, I can negate your attack and stop it right in its tracks. However, instead of going to the grave, it is automatically re-set on the field for another round!” Just then the hologram of Davis' trap card goes back to its face-down position.

 

Tessera says, with an evil grin, “Turn end.”

 

Davis says, drawing one card from his deck, “Okay, my move!” Davis says, putting one card on his duel disk, “Okay, I play my Tuner monster: Junk Synchron!” Just then Junk Synchron (1300/500), a small orange monster with glasses and machine-like, comes to the field in attack mode. Davis says, with a serious tone, “And now, I tune my Junk Synchron with my Speed Warrior! Okay, Synchro Summon!” Junk Synchron turns into three stars and three rings, which surround Speed Warrior, making him transparent. Davis then gets a Synchro monster card from his Extra deck and puts it on his duel disk as a column of light appears behind him. Davis yells out, strongly, “Okay, Junk Warrior, let's rev it up!” Out of the column of light, Junk Warrior (2300/1300), a blue armored machine-like warrior with machine-like eyes, a jet-pack attached to his back, and his right arm is a large gantlet, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Jun says, with a smile, “Way to go, bro!”

 

TK says, with a smile, “It looks like Davis has got this new summoning style down.”

 

Davis yells out, strongly, “Junk Warrior, send her rust bucket knight where he belongs! Scrap Fist!” Junk Warrior slams his super-charged right gantlet fist into Armageddon Knight causing a large explosion, a `scar' to form on the ground, and Tessera yelps in pain as she loses 900 life-points. Davis says, with a plain tone, “I end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Davis: 4000

Tessera says, drawing a card, “I let you get ahead, but now, playtime is over!” Tessera says, putting one card on her duel disk, “Since I have three Dark monsters in my grave, I can special summon my Dark Armed Dragon in attack mode!” Just then a column of dark energy comes out of the ground and out of the dark energy, Dark Armed Dragon (2800/1000) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Yusuke says, shocked, “That's not good!”

 

Izzy says, with a serious tone, “I think that's what she was planning! She wanted to summon that beast, so, she led Davis to do what he did!”

 

Tessera says, with an evil smile, “That's right! And now, I can play his ability! By removing one Dark monster from my grave from play, one of Motomiya's cards on the field hits the road!” Tessera removes Dark Crusader (1600/200) monster card from her graveyard and she says, with an evil sly smile, “So, I remove my Dark Crusader to demolish his Scrap-Iron Scarecrow!” Just then Dark Armed Dragon sends dark lightning bolts at Davis' face-down Scrap-Iron Scarecrow trap card and destroys. Tessera yells out, strongly, “And now, Dark Armed Dragon, obliterate his monster!” Dark Armed Dragon blasts Junk Warrior with a sphere of dark energy, destroying it, and causing a strong explosion as Davis yelps in pain as he loses 500 life-points.

 

Kari asks, worriedly, “Dai-kun, are you okay?”

 

Davis says, groaning, “Yep . . . it will take more than that to stop me.”

 

Tessera yells out, with a sadistic grin, “Well, how about this?!” Tessera pushes a button on her duel disk and calls out, “I play my trap: Sneak Strike!” Just then Tessera's face-down proves to be a trap card with a picture of a street fighter fighting off a bad guy while another is coming on his right for a sneak attack. Tessera says, with an evil grin, “This card activates when I destroy one of your monsters with a Dark monster. Now, you lose life-points equal to defense points of your defeated monster!”

 

Takuya yells out, stunned, “What?!”

 

Keiko says, stunned, “Since Junk Warrior had thirteen hundred defense points, Davis is about to lose that much!” Just then a dark sphere of energy comes from Tessera's trap card and slams into him causing Davis to cry out in pain as he is skidding into the blue flames causing him to hit an invisible wall as he loses 1300 life-points.

 

Jun, Veemon, Kari, Ken, and Tai cry out in horror, “Davis!”

 

Kari asks, fearfully, “Dai-kun, are you all right?”

 

Davis says, his body smoking with several cuts in his clothes, “Yeah . . . just peachy.”

 

Tessera says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “I place one card face-down and end my turn!”

Davis says, drawing one card, “My move!” Davis pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “I play my trap: Lost Star Decent!” Davis' other face-down card is revealed to be a trap card with a picture of strange alien creature on it and Davis says, with a plain tone, “This card summons a Synchro Monster from my graveyard in defense mode, reducing its level by one, giving it a defense power of zero, and it can't change its battle position! So, return, Junk Warrior!” Just then Junk Warrior (2300/1300-2300/0) returns to the field in defense mode. Davis puts one card on his duel disk and yells out, “Then I summon another Tuner monster: Hyper Synchron in attack mode!” Next, Hyper Synchron (1600/800), a small blue machine monster, comes to the field in attack mode. Davis yells out, strongly, “Now, I tune my level four Hyper Synchron to my now level four Junk Warrior!” Hyper Synchron's chest opens up, taking out four stars, as it shatters and turns into four rings, and those rings surround Junk Warrior, making him become transparent. After Davis takes a Synchro monster card from his Extra deck, he chants out, “Clustering hopes become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon!” Davis puts the Synchro monster card on his duel disk as a column of light appears behind him and he cries out, “Stardust Dragon, its time to take flight!” Out of the column of light, Stardust Dragon (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode with a mighty roar.

 

All five `Signers' have their birthmarks glow bright and TK says, with a smile, “Davis' Signer Dragon!”

 

Tessera says, with an evil smile, “Not bad. Too bad it isn't strong enough to defeat my dragon.”

 

Davis says, with a sly grin, “Sorry, but since Hyper Synchron was used for a Synchro Summon, the Synchro monster gains eight hundred attack points!” Just then the image of Hyper Synchron goes into Stardust Dragon and it roars out as its stats rise from 2500/2000 to 3300/2000! Tessera gasps out in shock and Davis yells out, strongly, “Stardust Dragon, attack Dark Armed Dragon with Cosmic Flare!” Stardust Dragon fires a beam of energy from its mouth at Dark Armed Dragon, destroying it, causing a strong explosion that creates a small crater, and Tessera groans out in pain as she loses 500 life-points.

Ancient Fairy Dragon's spirit appears beside Serena and she says, “So, the third of us has been awakened! I shall wonder if your fellow `Signer' shall find out his own purpose in the battles to come!”

 

Serena asks Ancient Fairy Dragon, “Ancient Fairy Dragon, is the evil that you spoke of the evil servants of the Nazca Lines?”

 

Ancient Fairy Dragon says, with a nod, “And more. Only you and your fellow `Signers' can stop them! However, you see, each of you has a separate purpose and missions as `Signers' since each of you have your own separate dragons and different Dragon Birthmarks based on five pieces of the Crimson Dragon. They are likeyour link with the world of the spirits and the great powers of Keiko Yukimura and her Psychic Duelist abilities. But your purpose and mission are linked with your fellow `Signers' in all sorts ways and together, you must fight.”

 

Serena says, nodding her head, “I understand.” Ancient Fairy Dragon's spirit nods as she fades away back into Serena's `Signer Deck'.

 

Tessera says, with a serious tone as she draws one card, “My turn!”

 

Davis draws four cards from his deck and he yells out, “And it's my draw thanks to Mirage of Nightmare! Since it is your Standby Phase, I get four new cards from my deck!” Davis pushes a button on his duel disk and calls out, “Next, I play my face-down card: Emergency Provisions!” Davis' face-down card is revealed to be the Emergency Provisions Quick-Spell card and Davis says, with a sly smile, “By destroying one of my spell or trap cards, I get a one thousand life-point boost! So, later, Mirage of Nightmare!” Just then the hologram of Mirage of Nightmare continuous spell card vanishes and Davis gains 1000 more life-points.

Next, I give him the Mist Body equip spell card! As long as he has it, he can't be destroyed in battle!” Just then Dark Red Enchanter glows as his stats go up from 2300/2200 to 2600/2200 and Tessera says, putting another card in the spell/trap slots, “Next, I play my Card of Demise spell card! I draw from my deck until I have five cards, but in five turns, I lose my hand!” Tessera draws from her deck until she has five cards in her hand while Dark Red Enchanter's stats rise from 2600/2200 to 2900/2200. Tessera says, putting another card in the spell/trap slots, “Next, I play my Magical Stone Excavation! By discarding two cards from my hand, I can return one spell card from my grave back to my hand!” Tessera discards her Dark Grepher (1700/1100) and Skilled Dark Magician (1900/1600) monster cards to the graveyard, a card comes out of her graveyard, and she says, putting the card in the spell/trap slots, “And I choose my Card of Demise, which I will play again! So, I refill my hand!” Tessera draws until she has five cards in her hand and she says, when she does, “Since I play two more spell cards, my Dark Red Enchanter gains two more spell counters and six hundred more attack points!” Dark Red Enchanter's stats rise from 2900/2200 to 3500/2200.

 

Davis says, with a worried tone, “This is not good.”

 

Tessera yells out, strongly, “Dark Red Enchanter, attack his Stardust Dragon!” Dark Red Enchanter fires a beam of mystical energy from its staff that slams into Stardust Dragon, but he isn't destroyed. However, Davis yelps out in pain as good impulse surges through his body as he loses 200 life-points.

 

Davis says, with a groan, “Since Hyper Synchron was used as its material monster, Stardust Dragon can't be destroyed in battle. However, in a few turns, he will be removed from play.”

 

Tessera says, with an evil sly grin while putting two cards in the spell/trap slots, “Don't think that you will last that long! I place two cards face-down and end my turn!”

Serena asks, perplexed, “Stardust Dragon . . . Buster?” Just then Stardust Dragon/Buster (3000/2500), which looks like Stardust Dragon clad in armor made in its colors with a dark blue oval-like jewel in its new chest armor, comes to the field in attack mode.

 

Keiko says, stunned, “Incredible! An upgraded Stardust Dragon!”

 

Tessera yells out, putting one card on her duel disk, “Not bad! But now, I play my Dark Red Enchanter's ability: By discarding two of its spell counters, I can force you to discard one card from your hand!” Soon after, Dark Red Enchanter's stats reduce from 4400/2200 to 3800/2200.

 

Davis yells out, strongly, “And you've just activated my upgraded Stardust Dragon's ability! Since you played a monster effect, by sending Stardust to the grave, your monster's ability is negated and your card is gone!” Tessera gasps as Stardust Dragon/Buster fires a beam of blue energy from its chest at Dark Red Enchanter and it is destroyed in a strong explosion while Stardust Dragon/Buster turns into miniature stars.

 

Hikari says, with a smile, “That's what he has been waiting for!”

 

Tessera says, putting one card on her duel disk, “Don't think that you are out of the woods, yet! Since there are more than five Dark monsters in my grave, I can play my Dark Creator!” The Dark Creator (2300/3000) appears on the field in attack mode within a field of dark lightning. Tessera yells out, strongly, “Dark Creator, attack Motomiya directly!” Dark Creator fires a dark lightning right at Davis and slams into him, hard, causing a strong explosion!

 

Kari calls out, worriedly, “Dai-kun!” But when the smoke clear, it is found that Davis is just fine with his other face-down card being a Defense Draw trap card.

 

Davis says, his breathing heavy, “Sorry, but my Defense Draw trap card negates the damage that you would have given me. Plus, I get another card from my deck.” Davis draws one more card from his deck.

 

Tessera says, with a plain tone, “Turn end.”

 

Davis says, with a plain tone, “And during the End Phase of the turn that Stardust Dragon/Buster's ability is used, he revives!” Just then a blue light comes over the field and Stardust Dragon/Buster (3000/2500) comes back to the field in attack mode. Davis says, drawing one card from his deck, “It's my move!”

 

Tessera thinks in her mind, plainly, “He only has four hundred life-points and his upgraded dragon doesn't have the power to wipe out the rest of my life-points!”

 

Davis says, putting one card in the spell/trap slots, “I equip my dragon with the Junk Attack Equip spell card!” Davis yells out, strongly, “Stardust Dragon, attack her Dark Creator with Cosmic Buster Flare!” Stardust Dragon/Buster fires a powerful blue beam of energy at Dark Creator, destroying it in a strong explosion, and Tessera yelps out in pain as she loses 700 life-points. Davis calls out, strongly, “And now, the effect of Junk Attack activates! Since Stardust destroyed your monster, you lose half of its attack power now!”

 

Tessera yells out, horrified, “No, but that means . . .!!”

 

Davis declares, strongly, “This duel is over! Stardust, use Junk Attack and end this!” Stardust Dragon/Buster launches a stream of green energy blasts that explodes all around at Tessera and she screams out in pain as she loses 1150 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Davis: 400

Tessera: 0

 

With the end of the duel, the black cloaked figures yell out in unison, shocked, “Tessera!” When the smoke and dust clears along with the holograms and ring of blue flames vanishing, Tessera has her back to the ground, badly battered and unconscious, but not seriously injured while the spider mark on her right arm vanishes. On the meanwhile, Davis collapses to his right knee from his injuries gained from the duel.

 

Kari goes over to Davis and she asks, worriedly, “Dai-kun, are you okay?”

 

Davis says, with a weak sly smile, “Yeah, I'll be okay. It will take more than . . . this to stop me.” The rest of the group of heroes and heroines assemble together through they don't notice that Yusuke's, Keiko's, TK's, and Serena's `Dragon Birthmarks' stop glowing along with Davis'.

 

Jun tells Davis, with a relieved smile, “You better not worry me like that again squirt!”

 

Davis says, with a sly grin, “Don't count on it, sis.” Just then they see the two cloaked Dark Digidestined move in to their fallen comrade using the Dark Spiral controlled Digimon to cover them.

 

Naruto yells out, with a serious tone, “Hey! Where do you think you're going?!”

 

One of the black cloaked Dark Digidestined says, with a dark cold plain tone, “Don't worry, Uzumaki. We will fight you in time. However, it looks like that you are stronger than you look.”

 

Gatomon yells out, strongly, “What makes you think that we are letting you leave?”

 

Biyomon says, with a serious tone, “Yeah!”

 

Takuya says, with a strong tone, “I agree!”

 

Sammy yells out, strongly, “I think that it is time to take care of business!”

 

The black cloaked figure says, snapping his fingers, “I don't think so!” Immediately, a Dark Spiral controlled Gigadramon fires his missiles seemly at the group.

 

Sasuke yells out, strongly, “Move!” Immediately, our heroes and heroines run for their lives with Kari and Jun helping the weakened Davis out of the line of fire. The attack hits the ground in front of them and shockwave from the explosion sends plenty of them flying through the air. Naruto, Serena, Sammy, and Sasuke, who are trained in the arts of the Shinobi, manage to land safely through Serena nearly has a `klutz attack' when she lands, but plenty of the others hit the ground, hard, on their sides and back, but they are not injured. When the smoke and dust from the explosion clear, they find the Dark Digidestined and their Dark Spiral controlled Digimon are gone!

 

Naruto calls out, stunned, “What the?! Where did they go?”

 

JP says, with a plain tone, “That's a pretty good disappearing act.”

 

Koichi says, with a nod, “Yeah.”

 

Falcomon says, with a plain tone, “It could be logical that there are ninja children and teenagers in the Dark Digidestined like Naruto, Sasuke, Serena, and Sammy. They had unusual auras that are different from humans and it is not because they are counterparts to us.”

 

Ken says, stunned, “I can't believe that they are using the same technology that I used as the Digimon Emperor under the control of the dark spore. It is the same nightmare over again.”

Joe says, worriedly, “I think it's worse than that.”

 

Yolei asks Joe, curiously, “What do you mean Joe?”

 

Tai says, seriously, “Ken was under the control of an evil force. He didn't become evil completely of his free will unlike what we thought before. Remember, the Dark Spore feeds off the darkness within a person. However, these `Dark Digidestined', I can tell, are truly evil under their own free will and completely.”

 

TK says, seriously, “And that means that they are more dangerous.”

 

Naruto says, drolly, “Great. If we didn't have enough problems to deal with, we have those jerks to deal with.”

 

Sasuke says, with a plain tone, “Well, get used to it, dobe. Plus, Serena, Yusuke, Keiko, Davis, and TK should be on the lookout as well. If they are working for the evils that are the reasons that the five of you are `Signers', they will be coming after you most of all.”

 

Yusuke asks, drolly, “Aren't we lucky?”

 

Zoe asks, curiously, “What should we do now?”

 

Koji says, with a plain tone, “All we can do is help out any survivors that are left.”

 

Kagome says, with a nod, “Good idea.”

 

Palmon says, looking around, “This is so horrible.”

 

Patamon says, with a nod, “No kidding. I just can't believe that there are real bad Digidestined out there.”

 

Kudamon says, with a plain tone, “It is a fact that where there is light, there is also darkness. And where there is good, there also comes evil. In all things in life, there are two sides in everything including the Digidestined.”

 

Kari asks Davis, concerned, “Dai-kun, will you be okay?”

 

Davis tells Kari, as Jun uses medical jutsu to heal him, “I'll be okay, love.”

 

Kari tells Davis, worriedly, “I'm so worried. Now, these people are after you and if anything happened to you . . .”

 

However, Davis makes looks at Kari and he tells her, with a sly loving tone, “Hey. These jerks won't get the better of me. I promise, Kari-chan.” Davis then lovingly and passionately kisses Kari on the lips and Kari returns the kiss while embracing her boyfriend at the same time. Plenty of our heroes and heroines smile warmly at this as they set off to aid any surviving Digimon from this tragedy.

 

(Back in the headquarters of the Orichalcos; on the meanwhile)

 

Within the headquarters of the Orichalcos, we find Dartz in deep thought as he is thinking about what's happening.

 

Dartz thinks in his mind, “Well, it looks two more of the `Signers' has harness the power of their dragons. Serena Tsukino with Ancient Fairy Dragon and Daisuke Motomiya with Stardust Dragon causing the enemies of the Crimson Dragon to rise up, but it is no matter to me.” Dartz gives an evil sly grin and he thinks, “The time of the rise of the Great Leviathan draws near and humanity, demon-kind, and Digimon shall be wiped out and Paradise shall rise again!”

 

(The next day; Somewhere on Academy Island)

 

In a large area of Duel Academy, we find Kagome and Inuyasha relaxing in the trees near a cliff leading into the ocean and Kagome is in Inuyasha's arms, locked in a loving and tender kiss, and the two of them seem to be alone.

 

When they release from the kiss, Kagome tells Inuyasha, with a flush in her cheeks, “Thank you for bringing me out here, but don't you think that we should be helping out?”

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome with a warm smile, “Feh! It's early in the morning! Now, just stop worrying and relax Kagome!”

 

Kagome tells Inuyasha, worriedly, “But Inuyasha, what about your sisters?”

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome, putting his right index finger to her lips, “Kagome, I told you to relax, so, you will relax.” Inuyasha tightens the embrace, but not too much to hurt Kagome, and once again, kisses her on the lips. Kagome gains a flush on her cheeks and wraps her arms around Inuyasha's shoulders and back and returns the kiss with the same love. However, what the couple didn't know is that Zera and Kagome are nearby and watching them with annoyed looks on their faces.

 

Melody says, in a whisper, “I knew that it was smart to keep an eye on both of them.”

 

Zera says, with a nod, “Indeed. I can't believe that Inuyasha would do something like this.”

 

Melody says, with a plain tone, “With our brother so willing to forgive this wench, after all she did, it is no surprise.”

 

Zera says, with a plain tone, “However, the miko didn't expect us to make a plan to counter this move by making sure that they don't escape our sight.”

 

Melody says, with a snort, “I can't believe that my brother is allowing this idiot so close! We better make sure that she doesn't seduce him to get him you know where!”

 

Zera says, with a plain tone, “That might be a problem. Inuyasha is intending for her to become his `mate', what humans call a `wife', and he intends for them to have a long life together.”

 

Melody says, with an annoyed tone, “Our mother was a far better human than her! Our brother deserves a lot better. Our dad was the greatest of the demon rulers back in our time and Inuyasha and my mom was an elite ninja, one of the best of the best! This miko is nowhere close to our parents even with through she has a ninja bloodline of her own!”

 

Zera tells Melody, with a nod, “I agree, Melody. However, Inuyasha is dead set on making her his even through he knows that she is the reincarnation of that wench, Kikyo.”

 

Runo says, with an annoyed tone, “Not to mention that other witch, Kisara.”

 

Melody says, with a snarl, “Ooh, no matter what I do, Inuyasha is always supporting that witch.”

 

Just then bits of her aura spike out and Zera tells Melody, seriously, “Melody, watch your aura. Inuyasha will sense us if you don't calm down. I know how you feel about this darn witch, but we need to make sure that we do it without hurting Inuyasha.”

 

However, Inuyasha senses their aura and he says, looking at their direction, “Oh, great.”

 

Kagome asks, curiously, “What is it, Inuyasha?”

 

Inuyasha says, plainly, “My sisters, that's what. They can't seem to give us a moment's peace.”

 

Kagome says, solemnly, “Can't blame them for what I did.”

 

Inuyasha tells Kagome, sternly, “I told you before Kagome. You need to get over that. You've learned your darn lesson and you're making sure that it doesn't happen again.” Inuyasha yells out, annoyed, “And the two of you aren't helping one bit! Now, get out right now!” Immediately, Melody and Zera leap out into the open.

 

Melody tells Inuyasha, with a serious tone, “I don't care what you say, bro! Zera and I are not going to stop doing this! After what this witch has done, we trust her as far as we can spit at her!”

 

Inuyasha says, annoyed, “Geez! When will you get over this thing against priestesses already?”

 

Zera tells Inuyasha, plainly, “Do we need to answer that question?”

 

Inuyasha says, with a sigh, “You, two. This is getting just plain ridiculous.”

 

Just then a female voice says, sternly, “I must certainly agree.” Everyone then looks to see Prince Koenma, Sesshomaru, Rin, Jaken, and Inuyasha's and Melody's parents, Inu no Taishou, who is also Sesshomaru's and Zera's father and in a more human-like form, and Izayoi, Inuyasha's and Melody's human mother. Both Inu no Taishou and Izayoi had golden halos over their heads.

 

Zera, Melody, and Inuyasha gasp in shock and Melody calls out, stunned, “Mother? Father?”

 

Izayoi says, with a warm smile, “Hello, my children.”

 

Inuyasha brings Kagome from the tree with him and he says, shocked, “But how?!”

 

Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, “I requested that the son of the Lord of the Spirit Realm to bring them until the Light of Destruction and Orichalcos are defeated.”

 

Zera asks, perplexed, “You?”

 

Inu no Taishou says, with a proud smile, “Well, it looks like my children have grown like you said, my darling.”

 

Izayoi tells Inu no Taishou, with a loving smile, “I told you, my dear. Melody has grown into a lovely young lady and Inuyasha has become a fine young man.”

 

Inu no Taishou tells Inuyasha, “Do not worry, Inuyasha. This is no trick. This is my lovely human wife and not `Un-mother' like last time.” Inu no Taishou looks at Sesshomaru and he says, plainly, “I am disappointed that you would use such an underhanded trick, Sesshomaru. I thought that I taught you better than that after your mother was slain by that demon slayer after she underestimated him. Zera learned from that mistake never to underestimate and respect humans.”

 

Izayoi looks at Kagome and she says, with a friendly smile, “So, you are Kagome. You are quite beautiful and I can see your gentle and caring nature. However, I can see the strength and fire in your eyes. I can see why my son likes you so much.”

 

Inuyasha and Kagome blush and Inuyasha tells Izayoi, nervously, “Mother, please!”

 

Izayoi tells Inuyasha, with a loving smile, “Sorry, sweetie.”

 

Melody asks, curiously, “So, it is true, mother? You were a ninja?”

 

Izayoi says, with a nod, “Yes. I came from the elite family clan in the Hidden Moonlight Village and I came by your father when I fought him on my mission to slay him. It was an elite S-class and beyond mission. Usually, it is a demon slayer that takes care of demon, but your father was no ordinary demon. Your father was surprised and in a way, he underestimated me. The battle between us was even, but in the end, your father's stamina allowed him to outlast me.”

 

Inu no Taishou says, looking lovingly at Izayoi, “I was shocked and surprised at the power that Izayoi used against me. Instead of finishing her off with my usual enemies, I immediately fell in love. She was powerful and beautiful. I never looked down on humans, but a human with such skill and ability and a female no less completely mesmerized me. That's when I desired to make her my own. I took her back to one of the castles under my dominion and had her healed.”

 

Izayoi tells her children, “As a well-trained Shinobi, I was trained to resist torture and temptation, but your father had a way to get through my defenses.” Izayoi looks lovingly at Inu no Taishou and she says, lovingly, “I could resist a lot, but my heart was the one thing that was breaking my defenses. And soon enough, I was falling deeply in love. When he kissed me for the first time, that was it, I just melted into his arms and I became his. When he asked me to become his mate and his wife, I accepted without hesitation and became his. And soon, I bore his children: You and Melody, Inuyasha.”

 

Zera says, with a smile, “I didn't see you too many times, Lady Izayoi. However, I came to see the power that you held and I knew that you were a perfect new mate for my father.” Zera says, with an annoyed glare at Sesshomaru, “It was quite `annoying' to see that Sesshomaru didn't agree with me.” Sesshomaru gives an annoyed expression at Zera.

 

Inu no Taishou asks, curiously, “If that's true, why is a young human girl following you?”

 

Sesshomaru replies, plainly, “After Inuyasha harnessed the power of Tessaiga for the first time and managed to hit me, I was left wounded. Rin came to my care even when I turned her away. She was a poor young girl despised by even her own kind and in return from what she attempted to do to me, I decided to make her my vassal. I care for her needs and she obeys my orders without question. Even I must admit that she is quite useful and `interesting' to keep around.”

 

Rin says, with a bow, “Thank you, Lord Sesshomaru.”

 

Inu no Taishou thinks in his mind, with a mental smile, “That's what you say, Sesshomaru, but I, your father, know better. It seems like this young human girl has shown you that there are more to humans that what you once thought. Hopefully, you will see your brother in a better light.”

 

Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, “However, the main reason that I asked Prince Koenma to call your human mother and our father to the world of the living is not to help stop Melody and Zera prevent your relationship with the miko, Inuyasha.”

 

Everyone looks at Sesshomaru and Inuyasha says, with a serious tone, “I'm not surprised that you said that Sesshomaru. What are you going to do? Show dad that you are the better son.”

 

Sesshomaru says, with a rare sly grin, “Indeed.” Sesshomaru tells Rin, “Rin, go to father.”

 

Rin says, with a nod, “Okay, Lord Sesshomaru.” Just then Sesshomaru takes out his sword and his body starts to glow with not red demonic energy, but golden Sacred Energy!

 

Kagome yells out, shocked, “That's Sacred Energy! I've seen it before with Yusuke!”

 

Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, “Indeed, miko. This is the true core of my power that I have contained for so long. Personally, I felt no need to unleash on the likes of you, Inuyasha, as well as Melody. However, if I am to show how powerful I truly am, I must display my true power to you and our father.” Just then the aura around Sesshomaru causes a strong wind that causes Izayoi to hang onto Inu no Taishou with Kagome doing the same with Inuyasha.

 

Inu no Taishou thinks in his mind, with a sigh, “Sesshomaru . . . You might have changed, but much about you stays the same. Your attitude will get you into major trouble one day. I keep wondering if your mother or should I say, her death had too much influence on you.”

 

Melody says, with a serious tone, “Think that you can take my bro or me on jerk?! Well, bring it on!” But just then Sesshomaru uses new incredible super-speed to bring his blade to Melody's neck.

 

Kagome says, stunned, “His speed . . .!!”

 

Inuyasha thinks in his mind, stunned, “What the?! He was never that fast before!”

 

Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, “You should be careful. With my Sacred Energy, my power is in the Super-S class.”

 

Melody yells out, stunned, “You?! A Super-S class?!”

 

Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, “Indeed. I have moved beyond the need for Demon Energy, but the power of Sacred Energy is at a higher level that I do not want to cause unnecessary damage during my battles. To show my father that I am the stronger child, I need my full power. You have great power, but the training to get this power makes mine greater.”

 

Inu no Taishou says, sternly, “Sesshomaru, that's enough!” Just then Melody manages to knock the sword away from her neck and prepares to transform to take on Sesshomaru.

 

Kagome says, worriedly, “Come on! This isn't the time for fighting!”

 

Inuyasha says, with a serious tone, “As much as I personally much want to pound Sesshomaru's pompous butt, I agree! We have too many enemies to fight right now, so, cut it out!”

 

Melody says, annoyed, “You are taking the word of that priestess, Inuyasha! I can't believe it!”

 

Inuyasha says, with a serious tone, “Because those words are true or did you forget about the Light of Destruction and Dartz? Not to mention the other enemies that revived because of those evil forces messing up the whole `balance thing'?”

 

Rin tells Sesshomaru, “Lord Sesshomaru, please forgive me, but I do feel hungry . . .”

 

Sesshomaru powers down his aura, sheaths his sword, and he says, plainly, “There is no need for any apology, Rin. You are in my care. Besides I can show my father my strength another time.” Sesshomaru tells Melody, with a plain tone, “You are lucky Rin's hungry saved you for now Melody.” Sesshomaru immediately turns to leave and he tells Jaken and Rin, “Rin, you and Jaken come.”

 

Jaken and Rin say in unison, “Yes, Lord Sesshomaru!” Immediately, the two of them take off with Sesshomaru.

 

Melody yells out, annoyed, “Where do you think that you are going jerk?! You think that you can just leave?!”

 

Sesshomaru says, with a plain tone, “I have more important matters that to defeat you and show you my power, Melody. I shall crush you when I feel like it. Rin is under my care and she serves me. As long as she serves me well, which she has done, I shall take care of her needs.”

 

Melody calls out, annoyed, “You take the lunchtime of a little girl over me?!” However, Sesshomaru ignores Melody as he walks away with Rin and Jaken by his sides.

 

Inu no Taishou thinks in his mind, with a smile, “Well, at least this is a start. However, we need to work on a few things with your attitude my son.”

 

Izayoi says, with a sigh, “It looks like you inherited Zera's problem with priestess, Melody.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a nod, “Yep!”

 

Inu no Taishou says, with a sigh, “I can't get why you have a problem with priestess.”

 

Zera says, with a plain tone, “Father, I do not have a thing against humans like Lady Izayoi, but priestesses are another story. The only ones that I tolerate is the one in the service of guarding the legendary Moon Princess.”

 

Melody says, with a nod, “And the only reason why is that she was a help to protect us for that witch over there and her spells.”

 

Inuyasha says, with an annoyed tone, “I can't believe you, two!”

 

Inu no Taishou tells Inuyasha, “I can, my son.” Inu no Taishou says, with a serious tone, “We heard the fully story and we can understand what happened between you, two. Your mother's and my relationship wasn't all that perfect. It took a lot for me to win your mother's heart and there were plenty of `bumps' along the way.”

 

Izayoi says, with a sly loving tone, “With me giving you the `bumps' darling.”

 

Inu no Taishou gives a blush on his cheeks and he says, a bit nervously, “Yes. Your mother can be quite the stubborn woman. She isn't so easily wooed and not a human woman to be controlled.”

 

Kagome thinks in her mind, nervously, “It makes me wonder where Inuyasha got his stubborn streak from.”

 

Izayoi says, with a serious tone, “Melody, I can understand about your feeling for priestesses along with Zera's, but we're not going to stand for any interference in this. If Inuyasha wishes for Kagome to become his `mate' and she has agreed to do, then as long as your father and I are here, we are going to make sure that the two of you leave them alone.”

 

Melody yells out, stunned, “Mother!”

 

Zera says, shocked, “Lady Izayoi!”

 

Inu no Taishou gives them a deadly serious glare and he says, with a very deadly serious tone, “Melody . . . Zera . . .”

 

The two of them become nervous and they say in unison, solemnly, “Yes, father!”

 

Inu no Taishou says, with a stern tone, “Good! And to make sure that you follow the rules, I will be working with your current allies to find ways to keep tabs on both of you and you are not going to argue! Do I make myself clear?!”

 

Melody and Zera say in unison, defeated, “Yes, dad.”

 

Izayoi says, with a smile, “Good. We're glad that you see our way, girls.”

 

Inuyasha asks Prince Koenma, “How long are mom and dad going to stay?”

 

Prince Koenma says, with a serious tone, “Until this mess is done. I had to pull a lot of strings to get this done.”

 

Izayoi says, with a kind smile, “And we thank you for all this, Lord Koenma.”

 

Inu no Taishou says, with a kind tone, “Now, let us go meet the rest of your friends and allies, my son.”

 

Inuyasha says, with a nod, “Sure, pops. Kagome and I will lead the way.” Soon after, Kagome and Inuyasha `escort' Inu no Taishou and Izayoi to the other heroes and heroines with Prince Koenma, Melody, and Zera following behind. However, Zera and Melody have annoyed looks on their faces.

 

(Later that morning; at the beach)

 

At the Academy Island's beach, we find Matt Ishida and Takeru Takashi taking a walk down the beach and he looks at the Dragon Birthmark on his right arm.

 

Matt says, with a smile, “It's good that Davis is going to be just fine.”

 

TK says, with a nod, “No joke! That duel took a major toll on him.”

 

Matt asks TK, curiously, “Are you sure about Kari being with Davis?”

 

TK tells Matt, with a sly grin, “To be honest, Matt, I had a feeling that Kari cared about Davis a lot all along. And personally, Kari and I care about each other, but not in the way that Kari cares about Davis.”

 

Matt says, with a smile, “So, any other girls that catch your interest? We have a lot of them.”

 

TK yells out, with a laugh, “Matt!” The two brothers share a laugh for a minute and TK asks Matt, slyly, “And lately, you have been eying Davis' sister ever since you learned that there was more to her than meets the eye.”

 

Matt says, with a nervous blush, “I don't know what you are talking about!”

 

TK says, with a sly grin, “Oh, really? I mean Jun has become a stronger person, her Digimon can go to Mega like Gabumon, and she is a Sailor Scout with legendary Sailor Scouts powers that traveled across universes. Not to mention that she has become quite the looker.”

 

Matt yells out, annoyed, “Cut it out, TK!”

 

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, “What are you, two, talking about?” The two of them look to the source of the voice and Matt and TK gasp in shock to see none other than Jun Motomiya wearing a bathing suit that fits tightly through not unseemly on her sexy and seductive form.

 

Matt asks, nervously with a major flush, “What are you doing here Jun?”

 

Jun says, with a smile, “It was early in the morning and I decided to take an early morning swim before we start the day.” Jun walks over to Matt and TK, but then Jun unexpectedly, to her surprise most of all, trips and falls right down on Matt. When Jun and Matt regain their senses, they flush to see Jun hanging over Matt and immediately, Jun leaps off Matt and she says, worriedly, “I'm sorry!”

 

Matt gets to his feet and he says, with a smile, “Hey! Don't worry about it . . .” Matt winches in pain and rubs his right shoulder.

 

Jun says, worriedly, “Oh, dear. You might have pulled something when I feel on you. Come here.” Immediately, Jun starts to drag Matt to a nearby beach towel and he yelps out in shock while TK gives a grin on his lips.

 

Matt says, stunned, “Hey, Jun . . .!”

 

Jun says, in a plain tone, “Don't be a baby. Just sit down and let me heal you up.” Jun gently forces Matt to sit down on the beach towel and uses her medical jutsu to heal him. When she was done, Jun gently massages his shoulder and she says, with a kind smile, “And this is to make sure that there isn't any soreness after you are healed.”

 

Matt sighs in relief and pleasure and he says, “Wow, Jun. You are quite good at this.”

 

Jun says, with a smile, “Well, I learned a lot in my adventures.” On the meanwhile, TK decides to sneak away and leave the two of them alone for the moment. After a minute or two, Jun stops her massage and she asks Matt, “How's this?”

 

Matt tells Jun, with a kind smile, “I'm just fine now. Thanks, Jun.”

 

Jun says, with a smile, “No problem.”

 

Matt can't help to stare at Jun and he asks, with a blush, “Hey, Jun, I'm curious. Do you . . . Do you have a boyfriend?”

 

Jun gives Matt a look of surprise and she says, shaking her head, “No. Not really.” Jun sits by Matt's left side and she says, with a plain tone, “I did have a crush on a few boys, but they either had someone else or . . . they are no longer of this world.”

 

Matt says, giving a somewhat shocked tone, “Oh.”

 

Jun tells Matt, with a sigh, “It wouldn't have worked out anyway. I'm the protector of the balance of the multi-verse. Countless different peoples, not just humans, are depending on me to keep the balance of our universe and all other universes out there in order. Finding love is quite impossible with this job. However, I accepted that a long time ago.”

 

Matt asks, shocked, “You've given up on love?”

 

Jun says, with a sigh, “I'm not sure there is anyone for me with this job, but I accepted this duty and I will go on with it as long as I am needed which might be millennia to be honest.”

 

Matt tells Jun, with an honest tone, “Jun, you can't just give up. There is always someone special for everyone.”

 

Jun tells Matt, with a smile, “Thanks for cheering me up, Matt. But it's . . .”

 

Matt tells Jun, with a plain tone, “You can tell me.”

 

Jun then lays her head on his shoulder causing him to blush since he has got a good view of her beautiful feminine body and Jun says, with a sigh, “It is so hard . . . I've been through many battles and seen many worlds . . . the things that I have seen . . . it would have become made other people gone insane . . .” A few tears come from Jun's eyes and she says, her body shuttering a bit, “It's just so hard to keep it together . . . hard to be strong . . . and you have to be since so many are counting on you . . .” When Jun looks into Matt's eyes, he can see that she isn't the same Jun back before MaloMyotismon's defeat. Even through there are plenty of the `old Jun' within her, he can see a lot of experience and maturity in her eyes. Matt can easily see this since his time as a Digidestined has made him grow up in many ways from the battles that he experience as his time as a Digidestined and more. However, in Jun's eyes, he can see so much more and Jun can see in Matt's eyes that he can see plenty of what she has gone through. The two of them stare at each other and to Jun, it feels like her body is acting on its own as her body turns completely towards Matt as her head draws closer to Matt's, which causes her lips to come closer to Matt's lips.

 

The two of them flush knowing what could happen if their lips get too close and Matt says, nervously, “Um, Jun . . .” However, for some reason or another, Jun slips forward and she yelps as she falls into Matt's arms in which Matt uses to catch her as she falls on her. When they look at each other, they give flushes of embarrassment as they look each other in the eyes.

 

Jun says, embarrassed, “I-I'm s-sorry . . . I don't know what has come over me today!”

 

Matt tells Jun, with a flush on his cheeks, “No! No, it's no problem! You didn't do that on purpose and I . . . um . . . really don't mind.” Jun gives a major blush knowing what Matt could be implying.

 

Jun tells Matt, with a sly smile, “Don't get too hopeful, Ishida. These days, I'm not a girl that you can easy get your hands on.”

 

Matt asks, with a sly smile, “Is that a challenge?”

 

Jun asks Matt, curiously, “Why so interested?”

 

Matt tells Jun, with a sly smile, “You know that Sora and I broke up and she has gone with Tai. Needless to say, I'm single and lately, I've taken quite an interest in you.”

 

Jun tells Matt, with a smile, “That's an interesting offer, but I really don't think . . .”

 

Matt asks Jun, with a sly smile, “I thought that you would jump at the chance at this. What happened?”

 

Jun tells Matt, with a sigh, “I grew up . . . in the harshest of ways.”

 

Matt tells Jun, in a comforting tone, “Oh. Well, if you need someone to really talk about it, I'm here for you, Jun.”

 

Jun tells Matt, with a warm smile, “Thanks, Matt. I appreciate it.” Jun then kisses Matt on the lips gently and as he gives a major flush in his cheeks, Jun gets to her feet and she says, with a warm smile, “I'll also think about what you said. Maybe there is someone for me . . . one day.” Jun then runs into the ocean waters and dives into the deeper waters with Matt watching with a sly smile on his face as he watches Jun swim graceful and excellently.

 

(Later that day; Elsewhere on Academy Island)

 

Later that same morning, we find our heroes and heroines assembled together where we find Bastion training with Jiraiya and Naruto in the Shinobi arts to improve his skills while Ami finishes another exercise with Tsunade, but at the end of the exercise, Ami trips and she yelps out as she falls. Immediately, Bastion, who is nearby, snaps into action and manages to catch Ami into his arms.

 

Ami gains a major flush in her cheeks and she tells Bastion, “T-Thank you.”

 

Bastion says, with a blush on his cheeks, “No problem, Ami-chan.” Bastion helps Ami back to her feet and Mina and Nyoko come over with sly grins on their faces.

 

Mina asks, with a sly smile, “What do we have here?”

 

Ami says, with a blush, “Nothing, Mina-chan.”

 

Nyoko says, with a sly smile, “Well, we don't see `nothing'. We didn't know Bastion was quite the romantic.”

 

Bastion says, with a major flush in his cheeks, “I am doing nothing of the sort! Ami was about to fall and I helped her!”

 

Mina says, with a sly smile, “Oh, don't give us that Bastion!”

 

Nyoko says, with a sly grin, “We see how you and Ami-chan are!”

 

Ami says, with a red flush covering every bit of her cheeks and nervous tone, “W-We don't know what you mean!”

 

Mina says, with a sly smile, “Oh, Ami-chan…” Before Mina could go further, she yelps out as Rei grabs her by the ear and drags her away.

 

Rei yells out, annoyed, “Mina-chan, that's enough!” Just then Nyoko is also dragged away by the ear by none other than Erin.

 

Erin says, with a plain tone, “You are starting to adopt Mina's personality, but then again, you and she are too much alike.”

 

Mina and Nyoko yell out in unison, “Ow! Ow! Okay! Okay!”

 

Tea asks, curiously, “Are they always like this?”

 

Michelle says, with a sly smile, “Yep! That's Mina-chan for you.”

 

Takara says, with a smile, “Nyoko is the same way. She can't keep herself out of our friends' businesses plenty of times especially when it comes to romance.”

Melissa says, with a nod, “Indeed.”

 

Jordan says, with a sigh, “I always wondered why Serena-onee-chan's friend, Mina-chan, always like this before I learned that she is Sailor Venus.”

 

Jade says, with a sly grin, “Trying to be Cupid, I see.”

 

Serena, standing Darien and her Earth family, says, with a nod, “Yep!” Nearby we find Davis sitting down after another intense training session and he wipes sweat from his forehead.

 

Kari gently sits down on his lap and she asks, lovingly, “You don't mind?”

 

Davis tells Kari, with a seductive loving tone, “Not at all.”

 

Kari tells Davis, with a loving tone, “I'm so glad that you are okay. I don't know what would have happened if I lost you.”

 

Davis tells Kari, with a loving tone, “I was worried when you were trapped with me. Normally, I would have taken it easier, but I couldn't afford such mistakes in this duel when you were trapped with me. I'm just glad that I got you out safely. You mean the world to me, Kari-chan.”

 

Kari tells Davis, with a loving tone, “Oh, Dai-kun.” Davis and Kari share another passionate kiss and Tai gives a smile and crosses his arms at this.

 

Sora goes over to him and she says, “Now, give them some time. They are not little kids anymore, Tai.”

 

Tai says, with a nod, “Yeah. But she is my little sister.”

 

Sora tells Tai, lovingly, “I know, Tai. But she isn't going to stay your `little sister' forever. She is going to be your `adult sister' and soon, Davis and Kari will be . . . you know.”

 

Tai says, with a sigh, “I know.”

 

Sora kisses Tai on the lips and she tells Tai, lovingly, “Now, why don't you and I spend some quality time together?”

 

Tai says, with a loving tone, “Sure.” Elsewhere, we find Takuya resting his head on Zoe's lap while Blair goes over to Sammy to have a nice talk. Then we head over to TK where he and his brother are about to start extensive ninja training.

 

Patamon asks TK, “Are you going to be okay, TK?”

TK tells Patamon, with a smile, “I'll be fine, Patamon.” Just then he bumps into Ino and she was about to yell at him when she blushes when she looks at him close up.

 

Ino thinks in her mind, “Wow! This Takashi kid is cute close up.” Ino shakes her head and she thinks in her mind, “Not as much as Sasuke-kun, but he…”

 

TK tells Ino, with a kind smile, “Sorry about that Ino.”

 

Ino blushes and she replies, nervously, “N-No! My bad!” Immediately, Ino walks off and she thinks, perplexed, “Why did I just do like Hinata when he smiled at me? Sure, he has a ninja bloodline and one of his grandparents comes from our village, but he . . .” On the meanwhile, Yusuke is looking over his new `Signer Deck' and the monsters inside including his `Signer Dragon'.

 

Yusuke thinks in his mind, “What's the deal with these `five dragons'?” Just then a pair of feminine hands covers his eyes and he gives a sly smile.

 

Just then a familiar female voice asks, slyly, “Guess who?”

 

Yusuke replies, with a sly taunting tone, “Is it my sister Kari?”

 

The female voice yells out, with a giggle, “Wrong!”

 

Yusuke says, with a sly tone, “Is it . . . Wait! I already know!” Just then Yusuke quickly yanks the hands off him, grabs the person, and kisses his girlfriend, Keiko Yukimura, right on the lips with great love in his kiss. When they release from the kiss, Yusuke asks Keiko, slyly, “Did I win?”

 

Keiko says, with a sly loving smile, “You didn't make a guess, but I say that you won.”

 

Yusuke states, with a loving sly grin, “Don't I know it?” Keiko giggles before she and Yusuke share another loving and passionate kiss. Nearby, we find Yeshua looking on as our heroes and heroines prepare to begin their day with training.

 

Yeshua thinks in his mind, plainly, “They are establishing bonds that will serve them well in the future.” Yeshua looks up into the sky and he thinks, emotionlessly, “However, the infamous Dark Digidestined have joined up with the evil servants of the Nazca Lines which means that the `Dark Signers' will be waiting in the wings after the Orichalcos and Light of Destruction are defeated . . . if they are defeated. And I sense that our enemies will be making their next offensive soon along with new battles to come.”

 

(Joining the Akatsuki; on the meanwhile)

 

Deep within the laboratory that was used for animal experiments like the one on Wheeler, the dueling monkey, we find the members of the Akatsuki assembled together.

 

Pein says, plainly, “This shall serve us well in our mission.”

 

Madara says, with a plain tone, “Indeed. Since Sasuke has decided to remain loyal to the village that destroyed the Uchiha clan, we can't count on his support.”

 

Konan says, plainly, “We do not need it, Madara-sama. We are just fine with who we have left.”

 

Madara says, with a plain tone, “It will be difficult since the others that support the Nine-Tailed host are getting stronger and the Ten-Tailed host is with them.”

 

Pein says, with a plain tone, “They will not be victorious, Madara-sama. Especially when they experience `The Six Paths of Pein'.” Just then five other forms enter the room and having the same Rinnegan eyes that Pein has.

 

Madara says, with an evil sly grin, “Interesting. I see that you have brought them all. I shall leave this in your hands for now then.”

 

Pein tells Madara, with a plain tone, “Thank you, Madara-sama.”

 

(Within the walls of the `White Dorm'; around the same time)

 

Inside of the `White Dorm', we find the Light of Destruction possessed diviner looking at his Tarot cards, which are mainly blank, while Sartorius takes a look at the reports that his shirking supply of SOL members are giving him.

 

Sartorius says, with an evil smile, “So, the five `Signers' are also among the `Chosen Duelists', huh? I see. I must reclaim Mister Urameshi and Miss Yukimura along with Mister Takashi. Plus, it seems that I must have Sailor Moon after all along with Daisuke Motomiya. The Light must claim the power of the Crimson Dragon. And with it, everyone shall see the Light! It is only a matter of time.” Just then Sartorius gains a sickly white aura and he says, lowly, “They were fools not to finish the job, but Destiny has dictated my victory, so, it is no matter. And soon, they shall learn why that the Light is destined to rule over all!”

 

(Some distance from Duel Academy; Sometime later)

 

On a large ship heading towards Academy Island, we find Alister 2 and Raphael looking around the deck for someone and when they see that the coast is clear for the moment, they sneak around.

 

Alister 2 says, with a plain tone, “No one saw us.”

 

Raphael says, with a plain tone, “That's good.”

 

Alister 2 says, with a sigh, “I can't believe that they got Valon.”

 

Raphael says, with a plain tone, “Believe it, Valon. I should have known that when Dartz got back in the picture. He would come after us, but I can't believe that he did what he did.”

 

Alister 2 says, with a sneer, “I should have know that rotten rat took my brother for a reason.”

 

Raphael says, with a plain tone, “I know. When I got back, I learned that my family was not in good shape neither after I had been stranded.”

 

Alister 2 says, with a serious tone, “Do you think that Yugi and his friends can help us?”

 

Raphael says, with a nod, “They can and I know that they will. A new generation of `Chosen Duelists' are there and we need to get to them.” Just then they see on the main deck of the ship a group of people with ninja clothing including plenty of people clad in Hyuga clan robes, others with Jonin vests, and also none other than a member of the `disbanded' ROOT foundation that's part of Team Seven, Sai.

 

Alister 2 says, seriously, “They look like people from the lands of the Shinobi.”

 

Raphael says, with a serious tone, “They are. But what they are doing here is beyond me.”

 

Alister 2 says, with a plain tone, “Well, I heard that there are some ninja teens at Duel Academy.”

 

Raphael says, with a curious tone, “Interesting. Well, we can't stay here. Dartz's goons could be on the ship. Let's go and find a place to hide until we get to Duel Academy.”

 

Alister 2 says, plainly, “I don't like it, but you have a point.” Immediately, the two of them head off into the insides of the ship to find a place to hide while leaving the group of ninja, showing that those with headbands have the headbands of the Hidden Leaf Village on them. The reason that they are coming to Duel Academy isn't exactly unknown, but who knows what will happen when they get there?

 

Next time in Chapter 27: Accelerating and Growing Conflicts: With things seeming to calm down on Duel Academy, new problems crop up when more people from the Leaf Village arrive including the elders of the Hyuga clan, Yamato, Sai, the council elders, and a member of council that isn't liked by Tsunade: Danzo. When the Hyuga elders find out that Hinata and Naruto is a couple, they start causing even more problems and compounding the problems is the council elders and Danzo are preparing to force Naruto to leave Duel Academy. Let's just say that Naruto's `royal sister' and our Moon Princess, not to mention plenty of the others, they will get more than a `mouthful' from them. But when they learn about Serena's Shinobi bloodline, Danzo begins to cook up some sinister plans to get his hands on Serena and her Earth mother along with the others with strong ninja bloodlines. To make things even worse, Pein launches his attack on the group and Jiraiya unleashes the power of his Sage Mode. When that doesn't prove enough to stop Pein, a major team-up of our heroes and heroines might prove the trick. Next, Raphael and Alister, while trying to get to our heroes and heroines, are stopped by Dartz and a group of his associates, but this is no ordinary group of Orichalcos warriors since Raphael and Alister know them! Alister is lost to the Orichalcos, but our heroes and heroines arrive to save Raphael. And this time, Yusuke decides to prove his metal by unleashing the power of his new deck combined with the new `Signer cards' that he had been given. The Society of Light, who hasn't been too active as of late, is holding back for some reason or another, but our Destiny Hero duelist seems to think that finding his father's card might have to do with the Society of Light through our Sailor Soldier of Fire thinks differently. And then there is Diamond and his obsession with our Moon Princess. When he comes `a courting', it will take our `Chosen Duelist' from the future in a duel with Diamond along with our Treasured Era Sailor Scouts to knock some sense into him. What will happen between our heroes and heroines and the new arrivals from the Hidden Leaf Village? Can our heroes and heroines stop the power of the second-in-command of the Akatsuki? Who are these Orichalcos warriors that are known by the two former members? And what will happen between Serena's future daughter and the leader of the Black Moon family? Find out the answers to these and even more surprises on the next `Twilight Wars' next time!

 

Well, this is the next chapter! Sorry that this took awhile. I could have finished yesterday, but there was a nasty snowstorm and it was messing with our power. A tree fell on our lines, but thankfully, it only took out an old phone line that we don't use anymore. However, there are power surges and outages here and there, so, we're not sure we are in the clear yet. However, I've got some bad news. After hope against hope, the people at father's job still went through with his `removal' and they are still causing him headaches. However, my dad has a pretty good case and he might win on appeal, but some of his case is `fixed' and my dad knows this. However, he is still going to fight on, but I might have to go off the internet temporary at least. But I intend to keep writing. However, my future plans are delayed at least with new stories after `Twilight Wars' is finished and all. We will have to see. I do have a job at FedEx, but with the economy and all, things are sluggish.

 

Well, thank you for all that reviewed this story so far and liked it. Like I said before, there was a fan of my story that said that Serena might be a bit too powerful in this story and his concerns, which ARE NOT flames, are valid. I'll try to keep Serena's power down a bit to make sure that she isn't the `all powerful type'. And before I forget, I would like to give thanks and credit to inu-yusukekaiba102 and this author's story of `White and Black Hearts' for the idea of the temporary revival of Inuyasha's and Melody's mother and father during the rest of the GX tournament. Anyway, please tell me what you think. Please read and review. I'll read your reviews as soon as I can and I will catch you later, Crossover, Moon, Dueling, Digimon, and Ninja fans!
