Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online: Gaiden ❯ Story 3: Digital Knights Tales 1: In another ‘Digital World’ ( Chapter 3 )

Welcome to the next ‘tale’ from the Sailor Moon Online story series and now, we are returning back to the ‘Aincrad arc’ of the story series. As you well know, the Digimon 01/02 ‘crew’ are a vital part of this story series in which Davis Motomiya’s sister, Jun Motomiya, was trapped with five of the Odiaba Digidestined in SAO, namely Tai, Matt, TK, Ken, and Yolei. You saw them in cameos in the first story of the story series, Sailor Moon Online in which they have had good and very significant roles in the later stories of this story series thereafter. However, the stories of this group’s time in SAO haven’t been told…until now.

A world that was supposed to be game, but because a nightmare prison when its creator, Akihiko Kayaba, trapped the ten thousand players within this virtual world and if they die here, they will die in real life. The ten thousand players struggle in this ‘game death’ to reach the top of the floating castle where the final boss and the key to their freedom waits.

 

You may know this story and the stories that come after it, but do you know all of the stories? All of the tales that happened within the floating castle? What about the tales that happened after the floating castle was conquered? There are stories connected to the ‘tale’ of this floating castle, its ‘history’, and its ‘aftermath’, but they weren’t told…until now. These are those stories…

Story 3: Digital Knights Tales 1: In another ‘Digital World’

 

Note: This story takes place around and during Chapter 1 through Chapter 2 of Sailor Moon Online.

 

November 6, 2022, Tokyo, Odiaba District

 

Today, we are inside of the Odiaba District of Tokyo where we head to one apartment complex, the apartment of the Kamiya family, in which we find one Hikari ‘Kari’ Kamiya, around age 14-15, is holding a copy of the box containing the game cartridge for Sword Art Online, the world’s first VRMMO, virtual reality mass multiplayer online game, for the NervGear, a second generation Full-Dive virtual reality device and the first commercial Full-Dive virtual reality device, with her brother, Taichi ‘Tai’ Kamiya, around age 16-17, who is looking on with a smile on his face.

 

Tai says, “Man! I can’t believe the luck that you, Davis, Ken, TK, Matt, and Yolei have!”

 

Kari says, with a smile, “I know, Tai.” Kari says, with a sigh, “It is a shame that I won’t be able to go online today.”

 

Tai tells Kari, with a weak smile, “It is what it is, Kari.”

 

Kari tells Tai, with a smile, “Maybe you would like to give a try, Tai.”

 

Tai asks Kari, amazed, “Really?”

 

Kari responds, with a smile, “Sure!”

 

Tai says, with a smile, “I call Matt and the others and tell them I’ll be joining them for opening day.”

 

Just then a female voice calls out, “Kari, it is time to go!”

 

Kari shouts out, “Coming mom!”

 

Kari gives Tai the container that contains that game cartridge for Sword Art Online and Tai tells Kari, “You and Davis don’t go pushing yourselves.”

 

Kari tells Tai, annoyed, “Tai! Davis is good with me.”

 

Tai tells Kari, with a plain tone, “How ‘good’ is what I’m worried about.”

 

Kari says, with a blush, “Tai!”

 

Tai says, with a smile, “I’m kidding! I’m kidding!” Tai then gets a serious look and he says, “However, I’m worried about you and Davis.”

 

Kari says, nervously, “Well…”

 

Tai tells Kari, seriously, “Kari…”

 

Kari says, nervously, “Anyway, I have got to get going, Tai.” Kari then rushes out of the room with her Digimon partner, Gatomon, who also in the room with Tai’s Digimon partner, Agumon.

 

Agumon asks, concerned, “Is Kari going to be okay, Tai?”

 

Tai responds, with a solemn sigh, “I don’t know, Agumon…I really don’t know…It has been a good long while since that…”

 

Agumon tells Tai, “Kari is strong, Tai. She has been through a lot.”

 

Tai says, with a nod, “Yeah, I know, buddy. All of us have been through a lot as Digidestined, but we only seen what happens when Digimon die. Humans die in a different way and humans don’t turn into data and are ‘reborn’ as a new Digimon.” Tai says, with a sigh, “Kari and Davis are both strong…Maybe we overestimated their strength…especially Davis…I mean, how can’t you? Davis is the one that brought Kari and the others back from MaloMyotismon’s delusion and inspired the kids that were brought under the influence of the Dark Spore, much like Ken was, out from the darkness. I guess that we thought him as invincible…unbreakable…”

 

Agumon tells Tai, “I’m sure that they will rebound from this, Tai.”

 

Tai says, with a weak smile, “Yeah, I’m sure, buddy.” Tai tells Agumon, “Anyway, you said that you needed to go to the Digital World for a bit?”

 

Agumon says, with a smile, “Yep!”

 

Tai says, “Oops! I should have Kari open a Digital Gate! You can only open one with a D-3!”

 

Just then a familiar male voice says, “Actually, that’s not necessary, Tai.” Tai looks to the source to see Gennai, as his younger self, in the room.

 

Tai yelps out in surprise and he shouts out, “Gennai! How did you get here?”

 

Gennai responds, with a smile, “Seriously, Tai?”

 

Tai responds, with a sigh, “I should have known…”

 

Gennai tells Tai, “Anyway, I’ll help Agumon to the Digi-World through the Digital Gate that I created.”

 

Tai tells Agumon, “Well, problem solved.”

 

Agumon tells Tai, “I’ll catch you later, Tai!”

 

Tai responds, “Later, buddy!” Soon enough, Agumon leaves with Gennai and Tai watches as they head to the computer in a nearby room and get sucked into it. With them gone, Tai asks, “Geez, how does Gennai keep doing this stuff?” Tai says, looking at the box containing the SAO game cartridge, “Well, I had better inform Matt and the others that I’m coming in for opening day.” Tai thinks in his mind, “Since Davis has the same appointment, what is he going to do with SAO game cartridge? Guess he is going to wait until he gets back tonight and join with Kari. I just hope that they will be okay…” Tai then prepares to call the others about him joining them in SAO on the opening day of the retail version of the game.

 

November 6, 2022, Sword Art Online, Aincrad Floor 1, Town of Beginnings

 

Now, we are within the virtual world of Sword Art Online and inside of the setting of this virtual world, Aincrad, the floating castle world in the sky, players are just entering this world as it opens its ‘doors’ to the players in which there is a male player appearing through a teleportation effect of the game.

 

This male player has short brown hair, light hazel-green eyes, handsome male features, and wearing starter gear with a starter level one-handed curved sword in sheath strapped to his waist.

 

The male player says, in Tai’s voice, “Whoa. This is it. This is…SAO.” The male player looks and looks on in amazement in which he says, seeing his avatar’s reflection in the mirror, “Whoa! Is this…me? Incredible!” The male player looks at his reflection and he says, with a smirk, “Looking good.”

 

Just then a familiar male voice says, “Keep up that face and it is going to stick.” The male player yelps and he turns to see four other players in front of him.

 

The first of the players is male player has short blond hair, blue eyes, handsome male facial features of an American Hollywood movie star, and wearing starter gear with a basic long-arm/spear type weapon in his hands.

 

The second of the players is another male player with well-combed blond hair, blue eyes, handsome male facial features, and wearing starter gear with a basic longsword in a sheath strapped to a belt across his waist.

 

The third of the players is yet another male player with handsome blue-black shoulder length hair that’s well-combined, brown eyes, handsome male facial features, and wearing starter gear with his own basic one-handed sword in a sheath that’s strapped to his waist by a belt.

 

And finally, the fourth player is a female player with long flowing violet hair, lovely ruby red eyes, deep and gorgeous red-pink lips, and wearing female start gear that shows the shapes and curves of a female super-model body shape as well as a basic rapier sword, an Iron Rapier, in a sheath that’s attached to a belt across her waist.

 

The male player says, nervously, “Um…”

 

The short blond hair male with a spear-like weapon says, in a familiar male voice, “Come on, Tai, don’t tell me that you don’t recognize us.”

 

The male player asks, shocked, “Matt?!”

 

The blond male with the spear responds, with a grin, “In the flesh…so to speak.”

 

The blond male with the sword says, in another familiar voice, “Come on, bro.”

 

The male player asks, amazed, “TK?”

 

The blond male with the sword says, “Yep, but in here, I’m Takeru.” The blond male with the sword then points to the other blond and he says, “And Matt is Yamato here.”

 

The female player says, “I’m Miyako and my darling Ken-kun is Sam.”

 

The male player asks, “Sam? As in…?”

 

The final male player, the one with blue-black hair, responds, with a nod, “Yeah. It seems like a simple way to honor him…”

 

The blond male player with the sword, Takeru ‘TK’ Takashi in his SAO avatar of Takeru, responds, with a smile, “I think that he would be honored Ken.”

 

The blue-black haired male player, revealed to be Ken Ichijouji in his SAO avatar of Sam, named after Ken’s deceased older brother, Sam Ichijouji, tells Takeru, “Thanks.”

 

The female player, revealed to be Yolei Inoue in her SAO avatar of Miyako, asks the male player, Tai Kamiya’s SAO avatar, “What’s the name of your avatar?”

 

Our Digidestined of Courage responds, “Taichi.”

 

The blond haired male player with the spear, Matt Ishida’s SAO avatar of Yamato, responds, “Well, nice to meet you, Taichi.”

 

And then a female voice shouts out, “And nice to meet you too, pretty boy.” The group then looks over to see another female player coming over to them.

 

This female player has long and luscious fiery red hair, lovely green eyes with luscious eyelashes, deep and lovely ruby red lips, and wearing female starter gear showing a gorgeous female super-model frame with a starter level mace held on a belt on her waist.

 

Sam asks, surprised, “Who are you?”

 

The female player responds, “The name is Juniper.”

 

Taichi then says, shocked upon recognizing the voice of the player, “Wait! I know that voice! That’s Jun!”

 

The others gasp in shock and the female player asks, with a pout, “Ah, man! You ruined the surprise!”

 

Takeru asks, “What are you doing here Jun?”

 

Taichi says, plainly, “She must be using Davis’ game cartridge in her NervGear.”

 

Miyako asks, “She has her own NervGear?”

 

The female player, revealed to be Davis Motomiya’s sister, Jun Motomiya, in her SAO avatar of Junpier, responds, annoyed, “Hey! Just because I don’t look like doesn’t mean that I’m not a hard-core gamer myself!” Junpier then says, proudly, “I’ve been the squirt at quite a few games and that always pisses him off!”

 

Taichi says, with a sigh, “Got to admit that’s true.” Taichi says, “But I thought that you preferred that VR idol game that they came out that one time…”

 

Junpier says, with an annoyed blush, “And what inspiring teen idol wouldn’t? That’s a dream come true for us.”

 

Miyako says, nervously, “Got to admit that she has a point.”

 

Junpier says, with a confident smile, “Anyway, I’ve also played quite a few MMO games myself and I’ve got the friends to prove it. I mean, come on, that’s part of the point of MMO games!” Junpier says, taking out her starter mace, “And what person that’s played MMO games would want to miss this? This is a chance of a lifetime!”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “Jun…I mean Junpier has got another good point.”

 

Takeru asks, “How did you get the game?”

 

Junpier says, with a smile, “Simple. I found out where my squirt of a brother hid it of course.”

 

Taichi says, with a sigh, “Of course!”

 

Junpier says, with a grin, “Hey, the squirt of a brother is going to get back and piss me off gloating about the time he had with your sister in here! Well, I can’t wait to piss him off when I get to experience the first day here! And I’m going to milk it for all its worth!”

 

Yamato says, with a sigh, “You would.”

 

Junpier says, “Anyway, let’s get started.” Junpier tells Yamato, “Catch you later, cutie pie.” Junpier then runs off into the distance and swinging her mace around.

 

Yamato says, with a solemn sigh, “I’m glad that it is just one day.”

 

Takeru says, with a smile, “Anyway, let’s take Jun…Juniper’s advice and get started. Tai…Taichi is only going to be here for the day.”

 

Taichi says, with an annoyed smile, “Thanks for reminding me.”

 

Takeru says, with a nervous smile, “Sorry.” The group then forms a party of five and head out into the field in which they don’t notice a young woman with short blond hair, brown eyes, wearing a simple red dress with the skirt going to just above her kneecaps, pink sleeves that cover from her wrists almost to the tops of her arms, simple brown boots, and a brown belt across her waist containing a small sword, the starter one-handed sword for the game, running in another direction to get out into the fields herself.

 

November 6, 2022, Sword Art Online, Aincrad Floor 1

 

Within the fields of the first floor of Aincrad, Taichi, Takeru, Yamato, Sam, and Miyako are battling another boar and Taichi uses a Curved Sword Skill to defeat it.

 

Miyako says, excitedly, “Way to go, Tai!”

 

Sam tells Taichi, with a smile, “Great job, Taichi.”

 

Taichi says, “Thanks, Ken…I mean Sam.”

 

Takeru says, “Man! This is really something!”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “I agree, Takeru. And it isn’t just the VR, it is the way that game is made. Forgoing magic, like in most MMO games, and having these sword skills forces us into close combat situations.”

 

Miyako says, nodding her head, “No joke! This takes a lot of tactics to figure out since you mainly can’t attack from long range and the few ranged weapons have ‘limited ammo’.”

 

Taichi says, with a grin, “You don’t see me complaining.”

 

Takeru says, with a smirk, “Not surprising, Taichi.”

 

Just then a familiar female voice yells out, “Hey, guys!”

 

Yamato says, with a sigh, “Oh, boy.” Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see Junpier, with a really worried look on her face, running up to all of them.

 

Sam says, “She seems worried.”

 

Takeru says, with a smile, “I’m sure that it is nothing.” Taichi, Yamato, and Miyako aren’t so sure and they get a ‘bad feeling’.

 

Junpier stops in front of them and she says, “This is an emergency!”

 

Yamato asks, curiously, “What’s wrong?”

 

Junpier says, “My log out button…It’s gone!”

 

There are gasps of shock and Miyako asks, stunned, “What?”

 

Taichi asks, “Is this some kind of joke?”

 

Junpier yells out, annoyed, “Why would I be joking about something like this?” Junpier activates her menu, goes through it, and sets it to visible mode to show the others in which she says, pointing to where the log out button should be, “There! Do you see that? That’s where it is supposed to be! That’s where it usually is!”

 

The others look at each other and Sam asks, “Did you mean make sure that you looked through the whole thing?”

 

Junpier responds, “Yes, I did! Twice!”

 

Miyako says, a bit nervously, “Okay…That’s a concern.”

 

Takeru asks, curiously, “Could it be a bug?”

 

Yamato says, “Everyone, check your menus.”

 

Takeru asks Yamato, “Bro?”

 

Yamato says, with a plain tone, “Just do it.” The others look through their menus and they are shocked to find that they don’t have log out buttons either!

 

Miyako asks, stunned, “Where is my log out button?”

 

Junpier asks, her eyes wide, “You too?!” Miyako gives a weak nod of her head and Junpier says, shaking her head, “I don’t like this…”

 

Takeru says, trying to sound reassuring, “Maybe it is some kind of bug.”

 

Juniper yells out, “If it was just me, yes! But if you don’t have log out buttons, then this is more than a mere ‘bug’!”

 

Sam says, concerned, “She’s right. If it was just her, it would be most likely a bug through I’m not sure with someone like Kayaba. I read all about him and someone like him…He isn’t the type to let ‘bugs’ through like that.”

 

Junpier says, her avatar starting to shake with nervousness, “I’m really not liking this.”

 

Yamato tells Junpier, “Easy. There has got to be an explanation for this.”

 

Takeru says, with a nod, “Yeah, Jun. Listen to my bro. I’m going call the GM and see what’s up.” But just then they heard bells coming from the Starting City AKA Town of Beginnings, but before they could say or do anything, all of them vanish through the bright light of a teleportation effect.

 

November 6, 2022, Sword Art Online, Aincrad Floor 1, Town of Beginnings

 

In the center of the Town of Beginnings, all of the players that are inside Sword Art Online are being teleported into the main square of the Town of Beginnings, minus a certain blond female player, who was teleported into nearby building and she is ‘fighting’ to get out to the porch of said building, but on the meanwhile, we are focused on Junpier and our five Digidestined as they appear with the masses along with a certain black haired male former beta tester and a bandana wearing ‘retail player’.

 

Junpier asks, confused, “What the heck?”

 

Taichi asks, confused, “What just happened?”

 

Sam says, “We were teleported back into town, but there shouldn’t be any teleportation effects until we start clearing the upper floors and only within the towns not in the fields!”

 

Miyako asks, confused, “What’s happening?”

 

Sam responds, “I wish I knew.” Just then the ‘sky’ of this virtual world become filled with panels that either say ‘Warning’ or ‘System Announcement’ and what looks like a red ‘blob’ coming out of the redden virtual sky.

 

Yamato says, “Even for a virtual world, this isn’t typical.”

 

Taichi says, with a nod, “No kidding.” As a certain blond female player emerges onto the balcony of a nearby building, the ‘blob’ turns into massive red robe figure without a face in the hood of the robe.

 

Miyako asks, nervously, “Who or what is that?”

 

Takeru asks, “Could it be a GM?”

 

Just then the massive avatar says, in a male voice, “Attention players! I, welcome you, to my world!”

 

Junpier asks, confused, “His world?”

 

Sam asks, realizing something, “Wait! Could it be…?”

 

The massive avatar says, “My name is Akihiko Kayaba and as of this moment, I am in control of this world.”

 

Junpier asks, “Akihiko Kayaba? The creator of the NervGear?”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “And the creator of Sword Art Online.”

 

The massive avatar then says, his plain and emotionless tone not changing in the least, “I’m sure that most of you have noticed something missing from your main menus: The Logout button.” The massive avatar creates a player menu in front of him that everyone in the ‘audience’ can see and he says, “Let me assure you, this is not a defect in the game. I repeat: This is not a defect. This is how Sword Art Online was designed to be.”

 

There are a lot of gasps around our Digidestined and Davis’ brother and Miyako asks, shocked, “What?”

 

Taichi says, shocked, “He has got to be kidding!”

 

Takeru says, narrowing his eyes, “I don’t think so, Tai.”

 

The massive avatar, revealed to be Akihiko Kayaba, the creator of Sword Art Online and the Full-Dive VR device being used to enter the game, the NervGear, says, “You cannot log yourselves and no one from the outside will be able to remove the NervGear from your head. If anyone attempts to, your NervGear will discharge a microwave signal into your brain, destroying it, and ending your life.”

 

There are more gasps and Junpier says, shocked, “No way! No way!”

 

Miyako adds in, “Is this some kind of joke? Because this isn’t funny!”

 

Sam says, seriously, “I don’t think that he is joking around.”

 

The massive avatar then says, “Despite my warning, the friends and family of some players attempted to remove the NervGear and as a result, the game has two hundred and thirteen less players. They have been deleted from both Aincard and the real world.” There are looks of pure horror from the players and the massive avatar says, creating dozens of holographic images of news reports from television, internet, and print showing reports about what’s unfolding in the ‘real world’, “As you can see, there is already round the clock news coverage including the deaths. At this point, the likely hood of a NervGear being removed is minimum at best. I hope this brings you a little comfort as you complete the game. It is important to remember the following: There is no longer any way to revive anyone in the game. If your HP drops to zero, your avatar will be deleted… and your NervGear will simultaneously destroy your brain.”

 

Yamato says, horrified, “This…This is no joke. Those are real news reports!”

 

Takeru says, horrified and with a serious tone, “I know! I recognize dad’s television network anyway.”

 

Junpier says, her tone showing signs of panic, “Come on! You have got to be kidding me? This can’t be happening!”

 

The massive avatar then says, “There is only one way to escape now. You must clear the game.” The massive avatar then displays a hologram of the floating castle of Aincard and it says, “Right now, you are gathered on floor one, the lowest level of Aincard. If you get through the dungeon and defeat the boss, you will be allowed to advance to the next floor. Defeat the boss at one hundredth floor and you clear the game!”

 

From nearby, a certain bandana wearing male player shouts out, “Even the beta testers never made it that high!”

 

The massive avatar then says, “And last, but not least. I have placed in the item storage of every player. Have a look.” One by one, the players go through their menus and materialize a small mirror. After a few seconds of looking at it, the players gasp in shock as they glow including Junpier and our Digidestined. When the light fades away, Junpier and our Digidestined look to see that look like they do in real life as Jun, Tai, Matt, TK, Ken, and Yolei, but they are wearing the same clothing and wielding the same weapon as their avatars from earlier.

 

Takeru asks, shocked, “Bro?”

 

Miyako asks, confused, “What the?”

 

Taichi says, looking at the mirror, “We look exactly as we do in real life!”

 

Junpier asks, “But how is that possible?”

 

Sam says, “There is a high density scanning device in the NervGear, so, that’s how it can get our facial data.”

 

Miyako says, “You’re right, but how could it know our body shapes and height down to the last detail? And by the way, that’s creepy!”

 

Takeru says, realizing something, “The calibration test when you first put on the NervGear.”

 

The others look at Takeru and Sam says, “You’re right. That’s how it got our physical data.”

 

Junpier asks, really nervous in her tone, “But why?”

 

Taichi says, “He made us look like who we are in real life to make us accept that this is our new reality.”

 

Everyone looks at Taichi and Yamato says, with a nod, “Yeah, I’m getting that feeling.”

 

Miyako asks, nervously, “W-Why? Why is this happening?”

 

Takeru says, looking up at the massive avatar that’s Kayaba, “I think that he is going to tell us.”

 

As Junpier and the Digidestined, along with the lot of other players look up at the massive avatar, he says, ““Right now, you must be thinking: Why? Why would Akihiko Kayaba, developer of Sword Art Online and the NervGear do this? An act of terrorism? An elaborate kidnapping to exact ransom money? I can assure you that this is nothing of the sort. The answer is simple: I created Sword Art Online was control of a fate of a world of my design.”

 

Taichi thinks in his mind, “Oh, crap. We are facing a dude with a god complex.”

 

The massive avatar then says, “As you can see, I have achieved my goal. This concludes the tutorial phase of Sword Art Online. I wish you the best of luck dear players.” Soon after, the massive avatar turns into virtual smoke and fades into the virtual sky which returns to what it was before this ‘event’ and all of the players in the main plaza stay their silent in disbelief, but quite a few players know that what Kayaba just said is the truth including a certain blond female player, who is a familiar young blond haired and blue eyed young lady with her blond hair in two long pigtails with the buns of her pigtails shaped like meatballs, who collapses to her knees and tears flow from her eyes. At that exact moment, the crowd comes out of their stupor and screams and yells of horror, fear, anger, and disbelief come from the crowd as they shout out into the empty skies. Taichi, Yamato, Takeru, and Sam look at each other and Sam immediately looks at Miyako, who has a look of pure panic in her eyes.

 

Sam tells her, “We need to go!” Miyako looks at Sam and he says, “I need you to remain focused! We need to get out of here now!”

 

On the meanwhile, Yamato is looking at Junpier, who has pure panic and horror in her eyes, and he yells out, “You need to look at me! Look at me, Jun!” Junpier looks at Yamato and he says, “You need to follow us now! Do it!” Junpier is surprised, but she nods her head in which the group of half-a-dozen immediately runs out of the plaza while a certain black haired former beta tester drags a certain bandana wearing player into another alley. Junpier, Taichi, Yamato, Takeru, Sam, and Miyako are assembled in another alleyway and discuss what just happened.

 

Junpier asks, pure fear and panic in her voice, “Come on! This can’t be happening! It can’t! A VR device can’t kill you, right? Right?”

 

Sam says, “Unfortunately, it is true. The NervGear uses microwaves for the Full-Dive process and there are safeties to prevent any damage, but take away the safeties and the NervGear can fry your brain. Cutting the power won’t work either. It has an internal battery.”

 

Taichi says, “Actually, it is the reason that thing is so heavy. One-third of it is battery.”

 

Miyako says, with a nod, “Yeah.”

 

Juniper says, fearfully, “No…No…No…!!”

 

Ya mato tells Junpier, “Jun, you need to calm down!”

 

Junpier shouts out, her voice filled with pure panic, “Calm down?! Calm down?! Don’t you just what happened? The guy who created all of us has just shown us that he is a complete madman and trapped us in something that’s supposed to be a game! A game! And now, his ‘game’ has killed over two hundred people already! And if we die in here, we die in real life! This can’t be happening!”

 

Taichi says, seriously, “Well, it is happening, Jun. And until we can figure out a way out of here or someone manages to find a way to break us out, we need to survive in here.”

 

Junpier shouts out, her voice filled with fear, horror, and panic, “Are you crazy?! This world is full of monsters and other surprises here and in games, you can’t get through a game without losing at least just one life! But we have just one life in here! ONE LIFE! We lose it and we are dead…FOR GOOD! Oh, Kami! We…We’re going to die!”

 

Yamato gently forces her to face him and he tells Junpier, making her look him in the eyes, “We’re NOT going to die, Jun! We’ve fought in a ‘digital world’ with monsters and we managed to survive as well as save two worlds!”

 

Miyako says, nervously, “But we had our Digimon partners with us!”

 

Takeru thinks in his mind, nervously, “Not helping my bro, Yolei.”

 

Yamato says, “While that’s true, but our Digimon partners needed us as much as we needed them! We worked together to save both worlds and that’s what we will do to survive this world!” Yamato tells Junpier, looking her in the eyes, “Do you hear me, Jun?! We aren’t going to die! We are going to survive! We are going to survive and get home no matter how long it takes! Do you understand me?!” Junpier then nods her head and start then starts to cry on Yamato’s virtual chest in which he allows it.

 

Sam asks Miyako, “Are you okay, Miyako?”

 

Miyako responds, “No, I’m far from okay. And do you have to call me that?”

 

Sam tells Miyako, “This may be another ‘digital world’, but this world has just become like the Digi-World Yolei. For now, you are Miyako. And I’m Sam.”

 

Miyako says, with a nod, “Right.” Miyako’s arm is shivering, but Sam gently holds onto her arm.

 

Sam says, with a smile, “Davis and the others are with us. They are with us in spirit. We can’t let them down.”

 

Miyako says, with a smile, “Yeah.”

 

Takeru tells Taichi, “What’s the plan?”

 

Taichi then says, looking back in the direction of the plaza, “For now, let’s go to an inn and get some rest. We’ve just had a big shock.” Taichi says, looking at the crying Junpier, “Some more than the rest of us. Then as soon as we can, we need to start exploring and grinding.”

 

Sam says, “In an MMO, resources are going to be limited and the area outside of the Town of Beginnings is going to be picked clean soon. In order to avoid being left out, we are going to need to move on.”

 

Yamato says, still gently hugging the fearful Junpier, “But we don’t know anything about the terrain and monsters in that terrain, so, we need to get stronger in order to move on.”

 

Takeru says, “The best people that would know their way around would be the former beta testers, but they are probably long gone by now.”

 

Miyako asks Takeru, “Why would you say that?”

 

Taichi says in reply, “Basic human instinct. Can’t say that I really blame them.” The others, minus Junpier, nod their heads in agreement and Taichi says, looking at Junpier, “Come on. Let’s find an inn out of the way to rest for a while and then start to level up and explore.” The others, including Junpier, nod their heads in agreement and they head off while on the meanwhile, the black haired male former beta tester runs out into the field to start his battle for survival while the blond haired female player on the balcony just remains in place overlooking the crowd and plaza in a condition of pure shock.

 

November 7, 2022, Tokyo, Odiaba District

 

Back in the ‘real world’, we are within a hospital in the Odiaba District where we find the motionless form of Tai Kamiya with the NervGear attached to his bed lying down in a hospital bed and covered up like he is in a coma with his younger sister, Kari, crying at his bedside.

 

Kari says, pure sorrow in her voice, “Why? Why you Tai? Why did it have to be you Tai? This can’t be happening!” Kari then starts to cry in which she goes onto her mother’s, Yuuko Kamiya’s, chest, who also has tears in her eyes in which Sora Takenouchi, Joe Kido, Biyomon, Gomamon, Agumon, and Gatomon are here with them.

 

Sora says, solemnly, “Tai…”

 

Agumon says, “There has got to be something we can do!”

Gatomon responds, “There is nothing that we can do. One attempt to tamper with that and his brains are toast…burnt toast!”

 

Joe asks, confused, “Why would he do this?”

 

Gatomon asks, “Does it really matter?” Gatomon says, “Our main focus is trying to find how to get Tai and the others out of there!”

 

Biyomon says, with a nod, “Yes, I guess you’re right.”

 

Joe asks, curiously, “But how?”

 

Just then a familiar male voice says, “That’s a good question, Joe.” The Digidestined and Digimon look to see Izzy Izumi and Tentomon walking into the room.

 

Joe asks, “How are the others?”

 

Tentomon asks, “Do you have to ask?”

 

Joe says, nervously, “Right.”

 

Izzy says, “Matt’s and TK’s parents are in a panic and their dad is about to go on a rampage in which he is using his contacts to try to find where Kayaba is hiding.”

 

Gatomon says, “Something tells me that he won’t find him so easily.”

 

Izzy says, with a nod, “I have to agree with Gatomon. If Kayaba did this, I doubt that he would let himself be caught so easily. Rumor has it that not even his family members know where he is right now and they also never suspected a thing.”

 

Sora asks, “And everyone else?”

 

Tentomon says, “Also in a bad way.”

 

Izzy says, “Especially Davis.”

 

Sora asks, “Davis?”

 

Izzy says, “He might not be showing it, but he is badly ‘shaken up’.”

 

Joe says, with a solemn sigh, “And he has far from recovered from ‘that incident’.” Joe says, shaking his head, “The instant that he thinks that someone has a gun in their hands, he…”

 

Joe, Izzy, and Sora look at Kari and Sora says, solemnly, “I never thought that could have happened.”

 

Joe tells Sora, “None of us expected it and none of us would have expected what happened with Davis. We thought of him of being so strong…invincible…”

 

Izzy says, with a sigh, “That was our mistake…And it cost Davis a good chunk.”

 

Sora says, concerned, “I thought that he and Kari were getting better.”

 

Joe says, with a sigh, “You know how cases like this can be.”

 

Izzy says, looking at Kari, “I’m worried what this will do to them.”

 

Sora says, with a nod, “Same here.”

 

Joe tells Sora, “We can only hope, Sora.” The Digidestined and Digimon look at crying Kari and then they look at the motionless Tai.

 

Sora thinks in her mind, “Tai, don’t you dare die on us! Kari will just die herself, literally, if you do. Come home to us. You and the others come home to us.”

 

November 12, 2022, Sword Art Online, Aincrad Floor 1

 

Returning to the virtual realm of SAO, Taichi, Yamato, Takeru, Miyako, Juniper, and Sam are inside the village of Horunka in which Sam is swing his brand new Anneal Blade.

 

Takeru asks Sam, “How does it feel?’

 

Sam says, putting his new sword in its sheath, “It feels great.”

 

Miyako says, with a smile, “I’m happy for you, Sam.”

 

Taichi asks Miyako, “How is that new Wind Fleuret?”

 

Miyako says, with a smile, “Good.”

 

Sam says, “I think that we have enough to bring it up a few levels.”

 

Takeru says, “At best, the NPC blacksmiths are going to get it to plus four without too much problem.”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “After that, who knows? We had better see how many NPC blacksmiths there are and see about their success stories.”

 

Yamato asks Junpier, “Are you going to be okay?”

 

Junpier responds, plainly, “To be honest…No.” Junpier says, looking at Yamato and with a weak kind smile, “However, I’m good enough not to do something stupid that will get me killed. Thank you.”

 

Taichi says, with a smile, “I doubt that Davis would forgive us if we let anything happen to you.”

 

Junpier asks, with a weak smile, “Yeah…How is the squirt doing now?”

 

Yamato says, with a plain tone, “As I said before, we’re going to get home.”

 

Junpier responds, with a solemn sigh, “Yeah, I know. With you guys, all of you and your Digimon friends, including Veemon, saved the world more times than I can count. But you guys are without your powerful friends and this isn’t your ‘Digi-World’.”

 

Taichi says, plainly, “It doesn’t matter. Agumon and our partners needed us in more ways than one as much as we needed them. We worked together as one to survive and all of our friends and family are with us and we’re going to get home alive.”

 

Miyako says, “And our experience as Digidestined taught us that just because this is a ‘digital world’ doesn’t mean that it is real. Even ‘digital information’ can be lethal and destructive.”

 

Takeru says, with a nod, “No kidding.”

 

Junpier says, “Well, I don’t have the same experience as you.”

 

Taichi says, with a smile, “Well, this is a new experience for us too. Remember, while we have experience with a ‘digital world’, it isn’t this one.”

 

Takeru says, with a smile, “That’s encouraging.”

 

Junpier asks, amazed, “How can you be so calm?”

 

Miyako says, with a smile, “Actually, we’re not calm…At least not all of us. Right now, I’m pretty much in a panic.” Miyako says, with a smile, “But I’ve got my friends and my Sam-kun with me.”

 

Miyako wraps her arms around Sam’s left arm and he says, nervously with a blush, “Geez.”

 

Takeru says, with a smile, “Get a room.”

 

Taichi says, “Anyway, we have a long way to go.”

 

Yamato says, nodding his head, “A real long way to go.” Every one of them look up towards the ‘pillar’ that houses the ‘main dungeon’ for this floor where the floor boss for the first floor of SAO.

 

December 4, 2022, Aincrad First Floor, Tolbana

 

Today, we are at Tolbana, the town on the first floor of Aincrad that’s closest to the floor labyrinth, the ‘main dungeon’ of the floor, that contains the way to the next floor and the floor boss blocking the way where we find Sam, Miyako, Yamato, Taichi, and Junpier, with some slight upgrades in armor and weapons, assembled together.

 

Taichi tells Sam, “Man! It was lucky that you found someone that upgraded your Anneal Blade to plus five.”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “I know. Personally, I think that it was a one in a million fluke. I doubt other players will have the same luck.”

 

Miyako says, looking around, “We finally made it here.”

 

Taichi says, with a nod, “I know, Miyako.”

 

Junpier says, “Wish we found a beta tester that could have helped us.”

 

Miyako tells Junpier, “Easy, girl. You know how many of the other players feel these days.”

 

Junpier retorts, “Well, I think that it is stupid. And people call me ‘flaky’. Geez! Kayaba used the beta testers to perfect this ‘death game’. They were his ‘lab rats’ to perfect his trap for all of us. I mean, he had two months since the beta ended to get it ready.”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “That might be so. However, something tells me that he had this planned for a long time…a long time.”

 

Yamato says, “Right now, HE is the last person that I want on my mind.”

 

Taichi says, with a snarl, “Yeah. Two thousand people are dead because of that ass.”

 

The others nod their heads and just then Takeru’s voice booms, “Everyone!” The others look to see Takeru rushing up to them.

 

Yamato says, “Hey, bro.”

 

Takeru tells them, “Hey! I just heard! They did it! They actually did it!”

 

Miyako asks, “What do you mean?”

 

Takeru responds, “A raid party of the top players have defeated the first floor boss! They did it!”

 

There are gasps and Taichi asks Takeru, “Are you sure?”

 

Takeru says, with a nod, “Yep! It’s been confirmed!”

 

Miyako yells out, excitedly, “All right!”

 

Soon enough, they heard other players in town that heard the news start to cheer and Sam says, “Well, it might be too soon to celebrate. We’ve only made it to the second floor.”

 

Miyako tells Sam, with a warm smile, “Don’t be such a ‘buzz kill’, Sam-kun. We actually made it to the next floor.”

 

Junpier thinks in her mind, with a warm smile, “Maybe we can do it! No, I can’t think that! We can do it! We will beat this stupid game and we will get back home! We’ll survive and get home!”

 

Yamato tells Junpier, “Told you.”

 

Junpier says, with a warm smile, “Yes, you did.”

 

Taichi says, “While Sam is right in that we have a long way to go, there is a good step forward.”

 

Takeru says, with a solemn sigh, “Yeah, but I have a bit of bad news.” Everyone focuses on Takeru and he says, solemnly, “The leader of the raid group died during the fight. I don’t have the details, but the leader of the group, Diabel, was killed leading the group against the floor boss.”

 

There are gasps and Yamato says, “That’s not good.”

 

Junpier asks, “What do you mean?”

 

Yamato says, “If that Diabel guy was the leader, he must have leadership and charisma to bring the players together to fight the floor boss especially the time that it took to find him and all of the deaths.”

 

Sam says, “If the leader died, then the moral of the top tier players assaulting the floors to get to the top and out of here will take a major hit.”

 

Takeru says, with a nod, “No joke. We need to join them.”

 

Junpier asks, surprised, “Huh?”

 

Yamato tells Taichi, “Takeru is right, Taichi. We need to join the front runners and help them. They need leaders like you.”

 

Taichi asks, “Huh? Hold on! What?”

 

Yamato tells Taichi, “This isn’t the time! You were the leader of our group of Digidestined during our first adventures in the Digi-World! You are a leader!”

 

Takeru tells Taichi, “My bro is right. They need leaders to show them the way and you are a ‘leader type’. You choose Davis because he had the same leadership qualities as you and he showed it in spades, but you chose him as the next leader and helped him down his path to be a good leader for the team by seeing those qualities.”

 

Junpier asks, concerned, “Hold on! Why us? Why you?”

 

Yamato tells Junpier, “If us, then who?” Junpier gives a look of surprise and Yamato says, “The majority of people haven’t been in a life or death situation like we have when we were Digidestined, Junpier, just like you. This is a horrible situation and people have already died because of the chaos and confusion with fear causing them to make mistakes that got them killed. They need help to inspire them and help lead the way or we will never get out of here.”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “Yamato’s right, Junpier. Right now, our bodies are most likely in hospitals on life-support and we can’t stay that way forever. If we get stuck, we’ll just waste way until our bodies collapse.”

 

Miyako says, sarcastically, “That’s a pleasant thought.” Sam gives a nervous look and Miyako tells Junpier, “But they have a point. If not us, then who? I’m scared right out of my wits! I was just as scared when I first became a Digidestined, but unlike that day, I’m not just going to sit and wail about it. I want to get back to my family…and our friends including that brother of yours. I’m going to fight! This stupid world isn’t going to take me without a fight and I will get home to the people I love!” Junpier gives a look of surprise and thinks about her family especially her brother, Davis Motomiya.

 

Yamato tells Juniper, “We can understand if you are scared and want to play it safe…”

 

Junpier shakes her head and she responds, “No, Yamato. You and your friends are right.” She says, with a determined look in her eyes, “If my squirt of a brother can survive being a Digidestined, then I can survive this stupid ‘death game’.” Junpier says, with a determined smile, “Plus, I can show the squirt that I’m just as tough as he is!”

 

The others smile at Junpier and Taichi says, “Let’s head back to the Town of Beginnings and hopefully, by tomorrow, we’ll be in the next floor too.” Everyone else nods their heads and they start to head off to make their preparations to head back to the Town of Beginnings in order to use the teleport gate to head to the recently opened second floor of Aincrad.

 

Junpier tells Yamato, “Thank you.”

 

Yamato asks, curiously, “For what?”

 

Junpier responds, “For inspiring me to become stronger.”

 

Yamato says, with a smile, “No problem.”

 

December 5, 2022, Aincrad Second Floor, Urbus

 

On Aincrad’s second floor, we are in the main town of said floor, Urbus, in which we find Taichi, Yamato, Sam, Miyako, and Junpier are looking around while Takeru has gone off to get information.

 

Junpier says, “Wow. This is amazing.”

 

Miyako says, nodding her head in agreement, “I’ll say.”

 

Taichi says, “It just cost too many lives to get here.”

 

Yamato says, with a nod, “Yeah.”

 

Just then Takeru’s voice booms, “Hey!” The others look to see Takeru running over to them.

 

Yamato asks, “What’s the word?”

 

Takeru tells them, “You aren’t going to believe what I just heard.”

 

Miyako asks, “What’s the story?”

Takeru says, “You aren’t going to believe this, but I heard from this player that among the players that fought the boss monster, one of them was Kayaba’s niece!”

 

There are gasps and Taichi asks, stunned, “Say what?”

 

Junpier says, shocked, “No way!”

 

Yamato asks, “Kayaba’s niece?!”

 

Takeru says, “Told you.”

 

Taichi asks Takeru, “Did you get the whole story?”

 

Takeru says, with a nod, “Yeah. I got from a member of the raiding party. His name is Agil.” Takeru then explains what Agil had just told him about the boss raid against the first floor boss, a monster known as Illfang the Kobold Lord, and what happened.

 

When Takeru is done, Taichi says, angrily, “Monster! Archfiend!”

 

Miyako says, shocked, “This...That’s horrible! It’s bad enough that he trapped us here, but he trapped a member of his own family?! That…That…sicko!”

 

Takeru says, “Yeah, I know. I was shocked when I heard it. However, it is the truth. He says that the emotions that she showed were far from fake.”

 

Junpier says, solemnly, “Poor girl.”

 

Sam says, “I heard that there are rumors of a player in a white cloak that has been saving people.”

 

Takeru says, with a nod, “Yeah, I heard too. Agil believes…No, he KNOWS that Kayaba’s nice and ‘that player’ are one and the same.”

 

Yamato says, “Most likely, she feels responsible for what her uncle has done and she is doing everything that she can to save lives.”

 

Miyako says, “What? That’s insane! She never knew what her uncle was planning!”

 

Takeru says, “True, but it sounds like she is the really caring type and she took it on herself to find Kayaba and make him stop.”

 

Taichi says, with a solemn sigh, “Good luck. Knowing these type of sickos, he might be like Piedmon and waiting at the ‘final level’. Kayaba is most likely at the final level at the top of Aincrad.”

 

Yamato says, with a nod, “Good point.”

 

Sam says, “And to be honest, I think she knows that fact too.”

 

Takeru says, nodding his head, “And that’s why she is giving her all to protect everyone.”

 

Junpier thinks in her mind, amazed, “She’s fighting with all she’s got to protect everyone.”

 

Miyako asks, “What do you think about this ‘Kirito’ guy?”

 

Takeru responds, “Based on what Agil told me, he is an upstanding kind of guy. Agil said that he knew that this Kirito player is taking the heat off of her and the former beta testers by focusing the hate of everyone else on him.”

 

Junpier says, “Sounds like he is trying to save his fellow beta testers.”

 

Sam says, “It is more than that.” Junpier looks at Sam and he says, “He wants to keep the players united together for one goal: Getting the heck out of here. There are still around eight thousand players left and the few of us that are venturing through the game are going to get stuck eventually with the numbers that we have. Like it or not, we’re going to need more people joining us and helping in our quest for freedom for all of us despite the risks.”

 

Miyako asks, “So, he took the blame so that there wouldn’t be a ‘civil war’ between the players?”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “Yeah, it is what it seems like to me.”

 

Takeru says, with a nod, “I’m getting the same feeling based on what Agil told me. That big mouth anti-tester jerk, Kibaou, was about to start a civil war between the beta testers and the non-beta testers until this Kirito player came in to take the blame for them and turn the hatred against them as well as Kayaba’s niece since he most likely felt that she deserved nothing for it.”

 

Sam says, “Especially she is risking her life despite her being a non-beta tester like us.”

 

Miyako asks Sam, “What makes you think that she wasn’t a beta tester?”

 

Takeru responds, “Remember what I said Agil told me? She was fighting the boss alone and she didn’t know it was the boss in which she had a feeling that it was some kind of boss monster in which she felt that she couldn’t escape from the boss monster like in most games.”

 

Yamato says, “She sounds like she is an expert gamer, but a rookie to this game.”

 

Sam says, “Yeah.”

 

Junpier asks, amazed, “And she is out there? Risking her life?”

 

Taichi asks, “Can we do any less?” When everyone else looks at Taichi, he says, “That girl had high hopes for this place. It was supposed to be a dream come true for her and everyone to enjoy. She loved that man as a second father and what does that ass do? He traps her along with us in this prison and leaves her along with us to rot! And now, she is risking everything to save and protect us despite doing nothing wrong to us! We can’t just do nothing less!”

 

Sam says, with a nod, “I agree. We have to join in and help free all players no matter who they are.”

 

Takeru says, nodding his head, “That’s right. It doesn’t matter if they are beta testers or not. All of us are victims of Kayaba’s madness which should be apparent since Kayaba trapped his own niece in here.”

 

Miyako says, nodding her head, “No kidding.”

 

Junpier thinks in her mind, “If someone like her can get up and fight on, then how can I do anything less?” Junpier then says, “Let’s see if we can find any good deals on items and weapons.” The others look at Junpier and she says, with a confident smile, “Hey, I already said that I’m not going to sit on my butt and wait for someone to get me out of here. I may not seem like it, but I’m a fighter too.”

 

Takeru says, with a smirk, “That wouldn’t surprise me in the least.”

 

Yamato says, with a grin, “No kidding.”

 

Taichi tells Takeru, “Let’s go over what you discovered as we get to work.” Takeru nods his head as the group of half-a-dozen players to find new items and weapons for improving themselves as well as preparing for the rigors of joining the top players in the conquest of this virtual floating castle. As they continued on, they pass by a female player who is wearing a dark red leather tunic with a lightweight copper breastplate, leather pants, boots up to her knees, and she has on a hooded cape that covers her hair and hides much of her head/face in which attached to her waist is a sheath for a Wind Fleuret, the same weapon that Miyako is currently using. The hooded female player and the group of half-a-dozen pass by each other not knowing of the connections that will bind them in the future…

 

The End…For Now

 

Well, this is the first tale of Jun and the five Digidestined of their time in SAO and you have to admit that it is an interesting beginning, huh? Yes, I know. This is just the first month of SAO and they formed a guild called the Digital Knights in this story series, but that’s a ‘tale’ for another time, everyone. Tell me what you think about it and please read and review, but no flames, please! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
