Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online: Gaiden ❯ Celestial Stories 1: Celestial Beginnings ( Chapter 6 )

Many of you have asked for this and now, it is time! It is time for the ‘tales’ of Suguha Kirigaya as Sailor Celestial in the ‘main’ Sailor Moon Online timeline. Remember, this is the ‘main’ timeline and not the Hollow Fragment timeline through both timelines are deeply connected with each other…*Cough* However, that’s a ‘tale’ for another day. Anyway, as you already know, in the Hollow Fragment timeline, Suguha entered SAO and awoke as Sailor Celestial there causing her to join the other Sailor Scouts right away. But in the ‘main’ timeline, Serena/Usagi and Kazuto/Kirito beat Kayaba/Heathcliff on Floor 75 and ending SAO way before Floor 100 in which Asuna and 300 SAO survivors were trapped in ALO by Sugou who were later rescued in which Suguha ‘awoke’ as Sailor Celestial, but didn’t reveal herself to her brother and the others until four months after she awoke. So, what happened in-between that time? Well, get ready to start to find out, folks! Before I start, I have to give thanks and credit to Belletiger and Kanius as well as Kanius’ YuYuGiDigiMoon fanfiction series, especially his The Invasion of the Rajita story, for giving me permission to use the idea of Valkyrie Sailor Soldiers and everything that’s a part of them in my fanfiction.

I would also like to give thanks and credit to Matty G91 and this author’s story of Kamen Rider Lunar for giving me permission to use Kamen Rider Lunar, his looks, and everything about him as well as the UNI-SHOCKER organization.

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 6: Celestial Stories 1: Celestial Beginnings

 

January 22, 2025, Kirigaya Residence

 

Right now, we are within the Kirigaya Residence, where we find one Kazuto Kirigaya is lying on his bed and looks like he is sleeping with a helmet-like device over his head. This helmet-like device is known as a NervGear and this is part of Full-Dive VR technology which allows the user to ‘transfer their consciences’ into a virtual avatar in a virtual world in which it is currently being used for entertainment purposes in the form of VR games of all sorts. As Kazuto is lying down on his bed with his NervGear on his bed while his sister, Suguha Kirigaya looking over him and yelps as she sees him wake up.

 

Suguha says, nervously, “I’m sorry. When you didn’t log out right away, I got worried!”

 

Kazuto sits up, takes off his NervGear, and he says, “Sorry that I took so long to come back.”

 

Suguha asks, “Is it really over?”

 

Kazuto says, “Yeah, it is. That monster has been defeated and Usagi and her friends have gathered enough evidence put him down for good.”

 

Suguha says, with a smile, “That’s awesome!” Kazuto then sees Leafa’s image poses over Suguha for a moment and he looks in surprise.

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “Sugu, thanks for all of the help that you gave me and Usagi. You were a great help.”

 

Suguha hugs Kazuto, surprising him, and she says, “You don’t have to thank me. I’m just glad that I could help my big brother in his world.” Kazuto hugs his sister and she blushes from the hug. Suguha asks Kazuto, “What happened with Asuna? Did you get her back?”

 

Kazuto says, “Yeah. Asuna is back in the real world. Sugu, I…”

 

Asuna says, “No way. You get going. She is waiting for you.”

 

Kazuto looks at his digital clock on the wall and he says, “Yeah, you’re right.” As he gets to his feet, Kazuto says, “Sugu, I know that you love ALO for flying and all. However, with what’s going to happen, it may suffer the fate of SAO.”

 

Suguha says, with a sigh and weak smile, “Yeah.”

 

Kazuto says, with a grin, “But then again, who knows? There are so many players that like it and since it isn’t a ‘death game’, all you need to do is retool it and probably give it a new and better ‘Grand Quest’ and it can stay on.”

 

Suguha says, with a grin, “Yeah.” Suguha then asks, “What about yours and Asuna’s friend?”

 

Kazuto gives a smile and he says, “Let’s just say that she can finally spread her true wings and fly away leaving her ‘real self’ to finally and truly come home. She and I can finally and truly come home.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “That’s wonderful.” However, the images of her ‘dressed up’ like a princess, the kingdom on the moon, and image of the silver haired queen and the blond haired princess other than herself in these ‘dreams’ pops into her mind, but Suguha shakes them off for now. Outside, Kazuto, wearing cold weather clothing, is pushing out a bike with Suguha following.

 

Kazuto says, “Wow, cold.”

 

Suguha says, “Look, Kazuto. It’s snowing.” And it is starting to snow and she says, “Be careful out there. And say hello to Asuna for me.”

 

Kazuto says, “Will do. And I can’t wait for you to meet her and Usagi in for real.” As Kazuto bikes off into the distance to head to the hospital where Asuna is, Suguha gently sighs, but she holds her head as the images appear in her mind again.

 

Just then a female voice says, “Do you wish to protect him and all that he loves?” Suguha gasps as she looks around and she then sees the grey cat with a silver crescent moon sigil on top of its forehead looking at Suguha.

 

Suguha says, “What a weird cat.”

 

The cat then replies in the female voice, “And while you are quite the looker yourself, it doesn’t mean that people won’t say that you aren’t weird.”

 

Suguha yelps out and she yells out, “A talking cat!” Suguha shakes her head and she says, nervously, “Okay, I must have been Full-Diving too.”

 

The cat then says, “I can assure that this isn’t an illusion or a dream.” The cat leaps onto Suguha’s head and slams her tail into her cheek, hard, causing her to yelp.

 

Suguha yells out, “Ouch!” The cat leaps off Suguha’s head and she yells out, “What was that for?”

 

Suguha then realizes that felt real and the cat responds, “My name is Trivia and I’ve been searching for you for a long time, Suguha Kirigaya. I’ve been watching you since your brother’s sixteenth birthday when you visited his motionless form in the hospital. However, your power has been greatly suppressed and the time wasn’t right.”

 

Suguha asks, “My powers?”

 

The cat, Trivia, responds, “You have great power, my dear. I’m sure that you have heard of the Sailor Scouts.”

 

Suguha responds, “Of course! Who hasn’t heard of them?” Suguha then asks, “Wait! Are you saying…?”

 

Trivia replies, with a nod, “Very perceptive, my dear. If you think that this is a joke or gag, then why are you having the dreams about the mysterious kingdom on the moon or the strange princess and queen with the crescent moon sigils on their forehead?”

 

Suguha asks, with a gasp, “How… How do you know about that?”

 

Trivia says, “I know more about you than you can believe, my dear. I can completely awaken the power that’s inside of you. The power that can help you protect your brother and all that he and you care about.”

 

Suguha can’t believe her eyes and ears, but she asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

Trivia says, with a nod, “I can, Suguha. However, you must know that once you accept this power, you will have chosen your destiny and your future will be set. With this power comes a great responsibility like with any Sailor Soldier, but there is a war coming and your power will most likely be needed.”

 

Suguha asks, surprised, “A war?”

 

Trivia responds, with a nod, “Yes. And you will have a great mission. While you will be working and fighting with Sailor Moon and other Sailor Soldiers, you have your own great mission to perform, but I warn you, accepting this power and performing this mission will cause you to find ‘ancient secrets’ of the past, dark ones as well, in which I can guarantee you that you will never be the same person again.” Trivia tells Suguha, “If you choose not to accept this, then I will never return and you can go on with your regular life. However, I believe that you will make the right choice.” Suguha can only look at the talking female cat, Trivia, and close her eyes, remembering the images/dreams in her mind and what happened in SAO, from her point of view, and ALO, in which when she opens her eyes, there is a determined fill look in them.

 

January 23, 2025, Kirigaya residence

 

The following day, Kazuto and Suguha are together as Suguha is looking over Kazuto.

 

Suguha says, “I can’t believe that son of a bitch!”

 

Kazuto says, “Don’t worry, Sugu. Thanks to the Sailor Scouts giving me a hand, the bastard will be getting his justice.”

 

Suguha says, with a smile, “Yeah, it was really lucky that they were nearby.”

 

Kazuto says, with a grin while a bit nervous mentally, “Well, you have heard of them ‘fighting in moonlight’.”

 

Suguha says, “Well, you do remember that they have been going more public lately.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Yeah, ever since I came back from SAO, they have been dealing with more intense monster attacks lately. They have been getting bold.”

 

Suguha says, “Not surprising since Sailor Moon has been missing since around the time that SAO started.” Kazuto gets a bit nervous when Suguha mentions that and Suguha then says, “And then she makes a reappearance sometime after SAO ended.”

 

Kazuto says, in a plain tone while mentally quite nervous, “Well, they did say that Sailor Moon had ‘other important matters’ to take care of.” Kazuto thinks in his mind, “Like surviving in a virtual ‘death game’ that her own beloved uncle trapped her and around ten thousand others in and living in a practical hellish prison of death for two years without the people that she loved along with few friends should be consider a MAJOR ‘important matter’.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Well, they did say that.”

 

Kazuto tells Suguha, “By the way, Sugu, are you okay?”

 

Suguha asks, curiously, “Um, why do you ask?”

 

Kazuto tells Suguha, “Your face is wet, Sugu.”

 

Suguha gives a mental yelp and Suguha responds, “I-It’s nothing, big brother.”

 

Kazuto tells Suguha, “Sugu….”

 

Suguha replies, nervously, “Okay! Okay! I had a really bad dream that I remember.”

 

Kazuto says, his eyes widen, “It must have been a really bad dream if it caused you to cry like that.”

 

Suguha says, solemnly, “Yeah, it was a real nightmare.”

 

Kazuto asks Suguha, “Do you…?”

Suguha replies, with a smile, “No, I’m fine.”

 

Kazuto asks Suguha, curiously, “Are you sure?”

 

Suguha becomes a bit nervous, mentally, while trying not to show it as she says, “I’ll be fine, big brother.”

 

Kazuto is a bit suspicious, but he decides to let it go for the moment and he says, “Okay, Sugu, but if you need anything…”

 

Suguha replies, with a smile, “What I need is for my big brother to be more careful in the future.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “I’ll try, Sugu.”

 

Suguha asks Kazuto, “Are you planning to see her today?”

 

Kazuto says, “Yeah. She knows that I’m okay and it is going to be a while before she can start rehabilitation. She has been trapped in VR longer than me along with three hundred other survivors.”

 

Suguha says, “She must be really weak.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “She is.”

 

Suguha asks Kazuto, “By the way, is your ‘sister-in-arms’ going to visit her?”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “Yes, I believe that she will, Sugu.”

 

Suguha says, “I really hope that she will be okay.”

 

Kazuto asks, “I’m sure that she will. You seem really concerned about her, Sugu?”

 

Suguha responds, “Well, of course! As you have told me, she really believed that SAO was going to be an incredible ‘new adventure’ and it ended up to be an endless nightmare for her.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Good point, but I think that in a way, it has finally ended.”

 

Suguha asks, curiously, “Why do you say that?”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “Call it a feeling. Let’s just say that I know because with me that Kirito of SAO can finally ‘sleep’ and I can be Kazuto Kirigaya again. With Serena, she can finally have Usagi, the ‘White Valkyrie’, finally rest and she can start being Serena Tsukino again.”

 

Suguha says, with a smile, “That’s good to know.”

 

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “Though once the knowledge of what Sugou was doing with ALO comes out…”

 

Suguha says, with a sigh, “It is for the best, big brother.”

 

Kazuto asks Suguha, “Are you sure about that Sugu?”

 

Suguha responds, “To be blunt, big brother. I loved ALO for the reason of that I loved to fly. I just…can’t put it into words.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “I can understand Sugu. I think that flying for you meant for than just being able to zip through the air with your own wings.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah.” Suguha says, seriously, “However, a lot of ALO players will agree with me that they rather be unwitting accessories to what that sicko was doing.”

 

Kazuto says, nodding his head, “Thank you, Sugu.” Kazuto says, “But to be honest, ALO is a good game. I think that it was just SAO. It was a good idea…That suffered from the greed and selfishness of others.”

 

Suguha says, “The curse of SAO.”

 

Kazuto says, with a solemn sigh, “I agree, Sugu. I just that ‘cursed’ didn’t pass down to the whole of Full-Dive VR.”

 

Suguha asks Kazuto, concerned, “Do you really think that it could cause the whole collapse of Full-Dive VR technology?”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “I hate to say it, but it is possible.” Kazuto says, “While it was just in the case of a few nutjobs, the Amusphere was supposed to promote that what happened with the NervGear and SAO was just a ‘one-time thing’ that VRMMO and Full-Dive VR, but with what Sugou did with ALO…Let’s just say that the damage has been done.”

 

Suguha asks Kazuto, “Do you think that there is something that can be done?”

 

Kazuto goes into deep thought and he says, “Maybe…”

 

Suguha asks, surprised, “Huh?”

 

Kazuto says, “It is just a thought, Sugu.” Later on, we find Suguha in her own bedroom and lying down on her bed with a solemn look on her face.

 

Suguha thinks in her mind, “So, Full-Dive VR is on the verge of being destroyed, huh? Ironic. If this was the ‘old me’ around the start of SAO, I would have been glad that happened…especially since I, once, tried to do that myself.” Suguha thinks in her mind, solemnly, “Just another series of sins that add up to my series of crimes. Kazuto’s and Serena’s dreams for SAO were turned into a nightmare because of ‘him’. I’m surprised that sis doesn’t remember the true depth of her ‘connection’ to Kayaba, but if she remembers now, it would rip open those wounds from SAO wide open. She would know that he remembered the true depth of their ‘connection’ on the day that she got the Silver Crystal back. Damn him! That fucking SOB! I can’t believe that sis and I share ‘royal blood’ from him along with Serenity-mama!” Suguha thinks in her mind, solemnly, “Not like I’m blameless in this since I’m the main reason that he did SAO in the first place and what do you know? He got what he fucking wanted! It makes me wonder how cursed I truly am.”

 

Just then a familiar voice calls out, “Princess, are you all right?” Suguha groans and she looks at Trivia with an annoyed expression on her face.

 

Suguha tells Trivia, “How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that Trivia?”

 

Trivia responds, “I’m sorry, my princess, but you are of the royal house of the moon…”

 

Suguha asks Trivia, “Ugh! What am I going to do with you?”

 

Trivia says, “While I believe that you need to process more time upon learning the truth about yourself…”

 

Suguha retorts, sarcastically, “Oh? You think? Remember my past life about how the same sicko that trapped my big brother was once my father in my past life as a princess, Sailor Moon is my ‘royal sister’, and the fact that my power and awakening was the main reason that he murdered four thousand poor people that wanted to have fun exploring a brand new world which was turned into a fiendish death game won’t cause me ‘mental distress’?”

 

Trivia says, with a sigh, “While you have a good point, the world is going to need you, my princess.”

 

Suguha asks, sarcastically, “For what? To be the cause of my conflict due to the power that I possess?”

 

Trivia sighs and she tells Suguha, “Princess, your power is only a curse if you make it a curse. If you believe that you hold any responsibility for what your former father…”

 

Suguha tells Trivia, with an angered glare, “That man WAS AND WILL NEVER BE my father. He was just the ass that supplied the sperm to Serenity-mama to allow Serenity and I to be born.”

 

Trivia flinches from Suguha’s glare and Trivia says, a bit nervously, “Sorry.” Trivia tells Suguha, plainly, “However, like it or not, the world is going to need Sailor Celestial once more. You are the Soldier of Reality and you are needed once more. Sailor Moon may have recovered, but her absence for the past two years have allowed evil forces to gain a significant foothold in which her guardians barely held on. Have you forgotten the phrase ‘Evil win when good people do nothing’?”

 

Suguha glares at Trivia and she responds, “Never.” Suguha then looks at the table in her room and she is looking at a pearly white heart-shaped broach with a rainbow colored jewel shaped like the Milky Way galaxy and four rainbow wings.

 

January 24, 2025, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

It is nighttime in Juuban District and one of the alleyways, a young woman is screaming as two powerful youma, looking like female muscular gangsters, are on motorcycles and spinning around the helpless woman.

 

One of the youma says, “Scream all you want! No one is going to help you!”

 

The other ‘biker youma’ adds in, “That’s right! You are just dinner!”

 

The young woman screams out, “Help! Somebody!”

 

The first ‘biker youma’ says, “Ha! The Sailor Scouts have their hands full with our comrades, fighting day and night, even with Sailor Moon back to help them! There is no one to help you now!”

 

Just then a female voice says, “Then just call me ‘nobody’, youma freak!” The ‘biker youma’ turn around only for the first one to get cut in half before she is vaporized by an energy blast and the second one doesn’t have time to react as she is beheaded before being vaporized as well. The young woman recoils in shock, surprised by what just happened, before the female voice asks, “Are you okay?” The young woman turns to the source to see a brand new Sailor Scout in front of her.

 

This new Sailor Scout had Leafa’s hair color and hairstyle with a crown of small white feathers in the forward portion, but her eye color remains the same as Suguha’s eye color, there is a rainbow colored Milky Way with a golden crescent moon sigil on her forehead, deep, full, and lovely shimmering pink lips, rainbow milky way galaxy-shaped earrings attached to her ears, a white cloth choker with a golden crescent moon sigil in the center, her sailor collar is green, she has a white colored bodysuit with the broach that Suguha took out in the chest area of her bodysuit, she has circular and fluffy shoulder pads that are green in color, her gloves are different from the other Sailor Scouts’ gloves in which they are fingerless with green bands, she has a skirt that’s green, silver, and rainbow colored, her boots are similar to Eternal Sailor Moon’s high-heeled boots, but they have green bands with rainbow jewels in the shape of the Milky Way galaxy, and she has four rainbow colored large feathered wings. Attached to the right side of her skirt, there is a kitana like Leafa’s kitana inside of a sheath.

 

The young woman asks, “Y-You are a Sailor Scout?”

 

This new Sailor Scout replies, with a nod, “That’s right. Are you going to be okay?”

 

The young woman gets to her feet and she responds, “Yes, thanks to you.”

 

The new Sailor Scout says, with a nod, “Good to know.”

 

The new Sailor Scout then takes off into the sky and the young woman asks, “Wait! Who are you?!”

 

The new Sailor Scout responds, “No one really important.” The young woman is left confused as the Sailor Scout takes off into the skies.

 

January 31, 2025, Tokorozawa

 

At the hospital in Tokorozawa, we find ourselves in Asuna’s room, still looking pale due to the fact that she returned to her body just over a week ago, surrounded by Kazuto, Serena, our Sailor Scouts of Juuban, and Darien.

 

Asuna asks, her voice sounding still weak, “A new Sailor Scout?”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “We’ve just heard about her on the news, Asuna.”

 

Kazuto says, “They don’t know who she is either.”

 

Asuna asks Serena, “Really?’

 

Serena says, shaking her head, “Not a clue.”

 

Darien says, “All that we do know is that she is an Eternal Level Sailor Scout based on the description of the Sailor Scout.”

 

Asuna asks Serena, “Eternal? Isn’t that your ‘level’ Serena?”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “Yep.”

 

Asuna asks, “Could that mean that she is just as powerful as you?”

 

Lita says, seriously, “No way! Serena has the Silver Crystal, girlfriend.”

 

Trista says, “It doesn’t mean that there aren’t Sailor Scouts that could rival Sailor Moon, Lita-chan.”

 

Darien says, “Sailor Galaxia is a good example.”

 

Amara asks Trista, “Are you saying that there could be Sailor Scouts that rival Kitten in power?”

 

Trista says, with a serious look in her eyes, “And exceed her as well. Back in the Silver Millennium, there were quite a few Sailor Scouts that could have that power and potential.”

 

Hotaru asks Trista, “Do you have an idea on who she is Trista-mama?”

 

Trista says, “I have my theories, but without actual proof, I can’t say for certain.”

 

Amara says, “We can’t be sure that this person is a real Sailor Scout.”

 

Raye says, “It could be some kind of trick.”

 

Mina says, “Well, it seems like she wants to help.” Mina says, “And also, her appearing only a nighttime isn’t a point against her because remember, we used to do our work at night back in the ‘old days’.”

 

Lita says, with a nod, “You have got a point, Mina-chan.”

 

Serena says, nodding her head, “Back in the early days, we always sit to the nighttime to perform our ‘work’. We had a thing of trying to stay ‘off the radar’.”

 

Kazuto says, “From what I read, these days, you have no other choice, but to come ‘into the sunlight’.”

 

Amara says, with a plain tone, “No kidding.”

 

Hotaru says, solemnly, “Ever since the start of SAO, our enemies got bolder and starts to attack in broad daylight and out in public as if they sensed that Sailor Moon won’t be coming out to stop them.”

 

Kazuto asks, “That can’t be any kind of coincidence. Do you think that has any connection to what happened to us?”

 

Trista says, “We believed that while they didn’t know the exact situation, they ‘sensed’ that Sailor Moon was ‘out of play’ and made their move.”

 

Amara says, “Causing us never-ending headaches.”

 

Mina tells Serena, a bit nervously, “Not your fault at all!”

 

Serena thinks in her mind, with a sigh, “Don’t make me feel any less guilty, Mina-chan.”

 

Asuna asks Serena, “How are you and the others holding up?”

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “Barely. These youma are way tougher than the ones that I fought when I first started as Sailor Moon and fighting against the Negaverse.”

 

Raye says, “Says the girl that can cut them with twin swords.”

 

Serena gives a nervous look and Asuna asks, surprised, “You wield swords now?”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “It seems like Serena’s experience in SAO has somewhat ‘upgraded’ her Sailor Scout form.”

 

Serena says, with a nervous smile, “Yeah.”

 

Asuna asks, “Did you know that there were more of you?”

 

Lita says, “Not until we met Nebula.”

 

Asuna says, “It must have been a shock to learn that she was a friend of yours.”

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “Yeah, it was a shock to find Molly is a Sailor Scout too. It makes me feel guilty for growing apart from her.”

 

Mina tells Serena, “Hey, girl! She told you that she understands.”

 

Amara says, “It was shock to find out that she is one of us.”

 

Hotaru asks Trista, “How come you never knew Trista-mama?”

 

Trista responds, “There were quite a few Sailor Scouts beyond us in the Silver Millennium, however, my knowledge of who they are now is limited if not nonexistent.”

 

Michelle asks, “Why is that?”

 

Trista replies, “For various important reasons.”

 

Raye asks, curiously and a bit suspiciously, “Which are?”

 

Trista retorts, “One is that levels of power that they possess and possibility that an enemy could find them before they are awakened. Trust me. Back in the Silver Millennium, they were Sailor Scouts that were far stronger than us and even have powers and potential that even surpasses Sailor Moon’s current abilities.”

 

There are looks of shock and Amara says, plainly, “And this Sailor Scout could be one of them. You know about powerful Sailor Scouts that could rival or even exceed Sailor Moon, even as she is today.”

 

Trista says, “Correct, but my information about who they are reborn as is completely nonexistent for reasons of their own protection.”

 

Lita says, “Something tells me that the one slicing and dicing Dark Agency forces doesn’t need that protection.”

 

Mina says, with a nod, ‘That’s for sure, Lita-chan.”

 

Trista says, “That may be true, but for the moment, I am not going to go into theories on which Sailor Scout it could be even if she is familiar to me.”

 

Serena says, “For now, let’s not try to figure her out. It looks like she is on our side and she will reveal herself when she is ready.”

 

Asuna says, with a nod, “I believe that Usagi…I’m sorry…Serena-chan has a point.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “It’s okay, Asuna. You aren’t used to the ‘real world’ again as Serena and I are.”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “Give it some time and we’re here for you.”

 

Asuna says, with a smile, “Thank you.” As we leave the group within Asuna’s hospital room, what they don’t know is that on the roof is that said Sailor Scout is standing on the edge of the roof and looking down towards the window that the room has before turning around and flying off at top speed.

 

February 1, 2025, Unknown area

 

At an unknown facility, the new Sailor Scout is flying over it with a solemn look on her face and she says, lowly and with a familiar female voice, “I don’t know if I deserve to hold these powers after what I did to you…after letting my hatred and my anger take control of me. I don’t deserve to be forgiven. Kami knows that, but I will do my best to make up for what I’ve done…Even through my sins can never be forgiven.” The Sailor Scouts sheds a few tears and flies in which one of those tears lands on the roof where a familiar feline Digimon and familiar blue dragon Digimon are sitting on the roof.

 

The feline Digimon looks up and the blue dragon Digimon asks, “What’s wrong, Gatomon?”

 

The feline Digimon replies, “I thought that I heard someone, Veemon.”

 

The blue dragon asks, curiously, “You did? Where?”

 

The feline Digimon, Gatomon, says, pointing up to the sky, “Up there.”

 

The blue dragon Digimon, Veemon, responds, “There. Could it have been a Digimon?”

 

Gatomon replies, “I don’t know.” Gatomon says, with a sigh, “I guess that I’m hearing things.”

 

Veemon says, with a nod, “I know how you feel. Sometimes I think that I hear Davis and rush to see if he and Kari have woken up.”

 

Gatomon says, with a nod, “Same here, but while their bodies have healed, their minds are gone and we are nowhere close to find them.”

 

Veemon tells Gatomon, “We can’t give up hope, Gatomon.”

 

Gatomon says, with a smile, “I know, Veemon.”

 

February 1, 2025, Odiaba District

 

It is nighttime in the district of Odiaba where we find Jadeite along with several youma dressed in military style gear leaping away through the rooftops in which Jadeite has a bag full of jewels in his hands.

 

Jadeite says, with an evil smirk, “We have the jewels. These pathetic humans think that these are nothing more than ‘pretty bobbles’. They don’t know what kinds of power that their crystal structures can create.”

 

Just then a female voice says, “Good thing that I do.” Jadeite and the youma look towards the source of the voice to see the new Sailor Scout slowly wake out of the shadows and into the open causing her to ask, “Remember me Jadeite?”

 

Jadeite’s eyes widen and he says, angrily, “You!”

 

The new Sailor Scout responds, with a smirk, “That’s right. I’m back, Jadeite.”

 

Jadeite screams out, angrily, “You! Queen Serenity’s even more wretched younger daughter!”

 

The new Sailor Scout retorts, with a grin, “I see that you remember me so well, Jadeite.” The new Sailor Scout says, with a glare, “And I certainly remember you. You have some nerve to return after betraying my sister’s boyfriend, who you were duty bound to protect, those centuries ago jerk!”

 

Jadeite says, with a sneer, “Endymon was pathetic falling for that sister of yours, Sailor Celestial.”

 

The new Sailor Scout responds, “He is a better man than you. You can be one thousand times more powerful than him and only be one-sixteenth the man that he is.” The new Sailor Scouts says, with a smirk, “It isn’t surprising that you follow someone like Beryl. She had the brainwash him to get him to kiss his hand. Shows how much a hag she really was and how much of pathetic coward and weakling moron that you were and still are, Jadeite.”

 

Jadeite tells the new Sailor Scout, Sailor Celestial, “Despite the new upgrade, your time as ‘the ultimate Sailor Warrior’ is long since over, Celestial.”

 

Sailor Celestial responds, making a motion that says ‘Come and get me’, “Try me.”

 

Jadeite shouts out, pointing to Sailor Celestial, “Destroy her!” The military style dressed youma create military grade weapons and prepare to fire on Sailor Celestial, but she quickly takes to the air and flies around in which Jadeite yells out, “Take her down!” The youma fire their weapons on Sailor Celestial, but she easily dodges their attacks with the greatest of ease.

 

Sailor Celestial shouts out, “Still the same coward I see! You are always hiding behind something or someone to get your way, you worthless peon!” Sailor Celestial then dive bombs right at the youma and easily dodging their fire as she does causing her to draw her sword when she gets real close in which, faster than the human eye and mind can process, she slashes at all three youma causing them to stop in their tracks. When Sailor Celestial returns her sword to her sheath, all three youma explode in massive explosion as they are destroyed.

 

Jadeite says, with a snarl, “You haven’t changed one bit, Celestial.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a grin, “Maybe you should give it up before you get your ass kicked like when we first met.”

 

Jadeite responds, with an angered snarl, “How could I ever forget? The humiliation that you gave me.”

 

Sailor Celestial retorts, “That I gave you? You were the one acting like a real jerk! You know how much Endymon lost face due to your stupidity! He knew better that being a ruler was more than strength alone jackass!”

 

Jadeite drops the bag of jewels, creates a black crystal sword, and he yells out, angrily, “Enough! I won’t let you defeat me again, Celestial! Today, you die once and for all!”

 

As Jadeite charges in, Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “Never learns.” When Jadeite swings at her with his sword, Sailor Celestial draws her sword and blocks the sword.

 

(Mighty Morphin Power Ranger’s music ‘Fight’ starts)

 

Sailor Celestial and Jadeite then start an intense fight and their two swords are clashing causing minor shockwaves that cause the roof under their feet to start to crack from the sheer force, but then Sailor Celestial spin kicks Jadeite in the face causing him to stumble back, but he manages to recover from a swipe in which he swings at Sailor Celestial’s legs, however, she easily leaps away from the attack.

 

Jadeite shouts out, strongly, “You won’t beat me, Celestial!”

 

Sailor Celestial retorts, “Why do you, dorks, keep saying such things?” The two of them continue their intense sword fight and at multiple points during the fight, they also lash out with kicks, but they either block or dodge them as they continue to clash swords.

 

Jadeite yells out, strongly, “You are nothing! Nothing!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a serious tone, “You sound like an old man, Jadeite!” Sailor Celestial then jump kicks to knock Jadeite’s sword out of his hand before hitting him in the face with the pommel of her sword causing him to get knocked down to the ground in which Sailor Celestial says, “Sorry, but I would be insulting old men everywhere with that remark. You sound and fight like a drunk hog.”

 

Jadeite shouts out, angrily, “I’ve had enough!” Jadeite then leaps to his feet, gathers dark energy, and fires some kind of dark orb at Sailor Celestial, but Sailor Celestial gathers energy into her sword, spins around, and knocks the dark energy orb, which has turned into a rainbow color, right back Jadeite, causing him to scream as he is sent flying high into the sky.

 

(Mighty Morphin Power Ranger’s music ‘Fight’ ends)

 

Sailor Celestial puts her sword away and she says, “Good riddance, but I doubt he will be gone for long. Jadeite is like a cockroach.” Sailor Celestial then looks into the distance to see the other Sailor Scouts coming and she takes off high into the sky. By the time that they arrive, Sailor Celestial is long gone.

 

Sailor Venus asks, “What happened here?”

 

Sailor Uranus responds, “A battle obviously.”

 

Tuxedo Mask makes his appearance and Sailor Jupiter says, looking at the bag of jewels, “Here are the jewels that they tried to steal.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Until someone stopped them.”

 

Sailor Moon asks, curiously, “But who?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “I may have an idea.”

 

Sailor Saturn asks, curiously, “You do, Uranus-papa?”

 

Sailor Neptune asks Sailor Uranus, “You think that it is our ‘new friend’?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Probably. I had sensed a ‘wind’ similar to ours.”

 

Sailor Moon asks Sailor Mars, “You?”

 

Sailor Mars says, with a nod, “I did sense a powerful aura similar to our own, Sailor Moon. And when I say powerful, I could be making an understatement.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, “She could THAT powerful?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, with a nod, “Mars may have a point.”

 

Sailor Venus asks, looking at the jewels, “Why would they become jewel thieves?”

Sailor Mercury says, having her visor and computer out, “These jewels have unusual properties that could be used to create incredible energy sources.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “That’s oddly familiar.”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nod, “They haven’t changed a bit.”

Tuxedo Mask asks, “Why didn’t they stay around? They obviously saw fellow Sailor Scouts coming to assist, even though this person didn’t need our assistances. But why would they leave when we arrived?”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, “Guess the girl wants to keep to herself.”

 

Sailor Venus says, “Much like Nebula. Even though we know who she is now ever since she revealed herself to Serena, she has been keeping to herself.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Well, Molly has come to me many times to assure me that she has her reasons. And even though we did grow apart for a while, she is still my childhood friend. I trust her.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “As do we, Kitten. She has proven a trustworthy Sailor Scouts in all ways including battle. I understand her reasons. She may be a Sailor Scout of the Moon Kingdom, but she isn’t one of your guardians…At least in the ‘regular sense’, Sailor Moon. She is more of an ‘independent command’.”

 

Sailor Jupiter asks Sailor Uranus, with a smirk and a sarcastic tone, “Talking from personal experience?”

 

Sailor Uranus glares at Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Neptune says, with a kind smile, “Uranus-chan, Jupiter has a point.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, with a plain tone, “It is more of this Sailor Scout that concerns me.”

 

Sailor Saturn asks Sailor Pluto, “Pluto?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “As I have said before, Firefly, I have my theories, but from what I can see, my theories have gone down to quite a few.”

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, “Mind throwing us a bone?”

 

Sailor Moon says, grabbing the bag of jewels, “Let’s just bring these jewels back.”

 

The others look at Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars says, “Hey, Meatball Head…”

 

Sailor Moon replies, “Look, I don’t know who she any more than you do, but I have a feeling that she is here to help and she has her reasons, like Molly, not to reveal herself to us. She could have taken the jewels and something tells me that I doubt she didn’t know what they wanted them for. She left them for us to take back.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “You have a good point.” Tuxedo Mask says, looking at the other Sailor Scouts, “She could have taken the jewels with her, but instead, she just left them behind. And she easily got away from us. She could have easily gotten away with these. I think that gives us a clue to her intentions quickly easily.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, with a plain tone, “Point taken.”

 

Sailor Venus asks, with a sigh, “But this isn’t over until she reveals herself?”

 

Sailor Uranus retorts, with a smirk, “What do you think Venus?” Sailor Saturn sighs at Sailor Uranus’ reply and the group heads off while Sailor Moon glances in the direction that Sailor Celestial left for.

 

February 1, 2025, Kirigaya Residence

 

Speaking of Sailor Celestial, we find her returning to the Kirigaya home where she floats in front of the window leading into Suguha’s room, she opens the window, and she floats in quietly in which she closes the window and locks it in which Sailor Celestial then touches the broach on the chest area of her uniform causing her to glow and ‘revert’ back into Suguha Kirigaya, who takes the broach into her hands.

 

Trivia asks, “A successful night?”

 

Suguha says, “Beat Jadeite into the ground to prevent the Dark Agency from getting gems that could have powered them up.”

 

Trivia’s eyes widen and she says, “I see. Now, Jadeite knows that you have returned.”

 

Suguha says, “No kidding.”

 

Trivia says, with a smile, “I take that you gave him the old ‘heavy hoe’.”

 

Suguha retorts, with a grin, “Do you really have to ask that question?”

 

Trivia giggle and she responds, “Forgive me, princess.”

 

Suguha asks, annoyed, “How many times do I have to tell you?”

 

Trivia asks, sarcastically, “How many times will it take for you to give up on that?”

 

Suguha glares at Trivia, annoyed, and she asks, “Have you made any progress?”

 

Trivia responds, shaking her head, “No, not so far. If he is in the net, he has hidden himself really well.”

 

Suguha says, “Well, keep trying Trivia. I don’t need to tell you what kind of danger any piece of that ass is as long as it exists.”

 

Trivia asks, “I don’t doubt you, princess. However, how can we be sure is that what happened to him?”

 

Suguha says, “We know him better than that. I’m not going to let that ass just murder four thousand people and escape into the internet in which he NEVER faces justice.” Suguha says, looking out into the night from her room’s window, “Big brother…sis…Asuna…and so many others have been scarred...And that’s just who was just trapped in SAO! There are others outside of SAO that were hurt by him and ‘scarred’ by him and his legacy!” Suguha thinks in her mind, solemnly, “Yeah, like I can talk! With what I had done to plenty of those people, I had made their ‘wounds’ even worse! They may be physically all right, but mentally and emotionally, they will never be the same. Even if I do this, I can never be forgiven for what happened, but at least, I might give them some peace even if they never know about it.”

 

Trivia says, “Understood. I will keep up my search. However, the net is growing every day even without the VR worlds.”

 

Suguha says, plainly, “Don’t remind me.” Suguha says, with a sigh, “They could have been incredible ‘new worlds’ leaving to ‘new adventures’ and bring the human race closer than ever before.”

 

Trivia says, with a nod, “Agreed. You can talk with people with video chats and such including on your smart phones these days and these people could across the world, but you are still far apart. However, in the virtual world, you are meeting with that person ‘personally’ despite it being only in a virtual body. The applications for Full-Dive VR technology is close to limitless.”

 

Suguha says, solemnly, “And they had to use it for their own greed.”

 

Trivia says, “It shouldn’t be too surprising, my lady. Throughout history, inventions that benefit all mankind have been used for selfish purposes as well as destructive. Like it or not, it is a fact of life.”

 

Suguha retorts, “Fact of life or not, it still stinks. And now, thanks to Kayaba and Sugou, Full-Dive technology may become extinct unless someone does something.”

 

Trivia says, “Maybe your brother has a solution. He mentioned that when he and your sister met Kayaba in ALO after Sugou was defeated, Kayaba did give them something.”

 

Suguha says, “I don’t trust anything that ass gives them.” Suguha says, looking like she is in deep thought, “However…”

 

Trivia asks, curiously, “However?”

 

Suguha responds, “However, the guy is so obsessive about the ‘VR realm’ then maybe…”

 

Trivia asks, curiously, “Maybe?”

 

Suguha replies, “Nothing, Trivia. Nothing at all.” Trivia gives a confused look as Suguha walks away to head down to the living room and kitchen of her home.

 

February 1, 2025, Unknown location

 

Within an unknown location, Jadeite is discussing something with shadowy figures in which a holographic video screen is replying the fight between the three youma and him against Sailor Celestial.

 

One of them says, with a deep male voice, “She has returned.”

 

Jadeite says, with a sneer, “Indeed.”

 

Another voice says, with a female voice, “Don’t get too ‘flustered’ Jadeite or do you want to repeat of your fight with Sailor Moon, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Mars to happen again?”

 

Jadeite yells out, strongly, “I will NEVER allow that to happen again!”

 

The male voice says, “Then you need to focus or it may not be either Sailor Moon or Sailor Celestial that defeats you.”

 

Jadeite asks, with a glare, “What was that?”

 

The male voice responds, “It is just a fair warning, Jadeite.”

 

Jadeite then says, annoyed, “Excuse me if I don’t take your warning seriously. And right now, I don’t get why you aren’t using the information on the identities of that Moon Princess and her two guardians. With what that man had done, we could easily…”

 

The female voice says, interrupting, “Yes, we could. However, I don’t think that you realize the significance of SAO.”

 

Jadeite asks, “What do you mean?”

 

The male voice asks, “Have you forgotten the connection between the ‘setting’ of SAO and Sailor Celestial herself?”

 

Jadeite goes into deep thought and he then says, remembering, “Wait!”

 

The female voice says, “It seems like you remember.”

 

Jadeite asks, a shock of revelation going through him, “You mean that Kayaba is…?”

 

The male voice retorts, “None other.”

 

Jadeite gains a sinister smirk and he says, “He used his youngest daughter and now, he makes his eldest suffer as well. Queen Serenity must be rolling in her grave.”

 

The female voice says, “Don’t think that Kayaba isn’t a threat to us and he is gone, Jadeite.”

 

Jadeite asks, confused, “What?”

 

The male voice responds, “Kayaba didn’t commit suicide, Jadeite. He used his technology to successfully download his mind onto the network. His essence is now in cyberspace.”

 

Jadeite asks, curiously, “Why should that matter?”

 

The female voice says, “Kayaba’s plan should be obvious even to you, Jadeite. You fought the main reason that he committed SAO in the first place.”

 

Jadeite gasps and he says, “That means…”

 

The male voice says, interrupting, “Correct, Jadeite. While his reasoning to the other players was indeed true, there was another reason to his ‘madness’.”

 

Jadeite says, “That means that he has plans for her.”

 

The female voice says, “Indeed. They are plans that must be stopped.”

 

Jadeite asks, “Does that mean…?”

 

The male voice responds, “Yes, it does.” Jadeite then gives an evil smirk as he knows what the male voice is implying.

 

February 2, 2025, Juuban District

 

At Osaka-P, we find Molly Baker AKA Sailor Nebula working in front of a computer as her feline partner, Aurora, leaps up onto the desk.

 

Aurora asks Molly, “So, she has returned?”

 

Molly says, “Yep. It would seem so.”

 

Aurora says, in an irritated tone, “Bastard. He already sent her to her grave in sorrow causing the end of the Silver Millennium and now…”

 

Molly says, “I know, Aurora. However, he has a plan for her.”

Aurora says, with a nod, “Indeed, Molly. While he woke her up to ‘shake up the cosmos’, there is more to his plans than that.”

 

Molly says, “He is hiding in the net somewhere.”

 

Aurora says, nodding in agreement, “Agreed, Molly.”

 

Molly tells Aurora, “I’m going to need to meet with her.”

 

Aurora asks Molly, “Do you think that wise Molly?”

 

Molly replies, “He wants her to come after him, Aurora.”

 

Aurora says, “For what reason is hard to understand, but we do know is that it involves her power.”

 

Molly says, “That’s for sure.”

 

Aurora asks Molly, “Molly?”

 

Molly says, with a sigh, “I know what you are going to say, but I don’t think that it is close to time.”

 

Aurora tells Molly, “The princess is bound to find out sooner or later.”

 

Molly thinks in her mind, concerned, “I know, Aurora. I’m worried about what happens when Serena finds out the true depths of her ‘connection’ to Kayaba.”

 

Aurora says, “I’m also wondering why she is hiding in the shadows.”

 

Molly says, “I have quite a few theories why and what you were just talking about is part of it.”

 

Aurora responds, “So, you think that ‘she’ already knows even though she just awoke.”

 

Molly says, with a nod, “Yeah, most likely.”

 

Aurora says, with a sigh, “Oh dear. Then she is already falling into his ‘trap’.”

 

Molly says, nodding her head, “I agree, Aurora. I think that we need to talk.”

 

Aurora asks Molly, “You are going to meet with her?”

 

Molly says, with a nod, “I think that it is about time that I meet with Serena’s long lost ‘royal sister’.” Aurora nods as Molly continues to work on the computer which is full of files and stuff as well as a picture of Suguha Kirigaya herself.

 

February 2, 2025, Tokyo

 

On the roof of the government building that has the Ministry of Internal Affair’s Telecommunications Bureau, Advanced Network Division also known as the VR Division, Sailor Celestial is looking down from the roof.

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, with an intense stare, “Who the heck are you?” Sailor Celestial then takes off from the roof and looking out of the window of his office in the building, we find Seijirou Kikuoka looking out said window with an intense look on his face.

 

February 3, 2025, Kirigaya residence

 

Inside of the small kendo dojo that’s part of the Kirigaya residence, we find Kirigaya, in her training dogi and hakama, is practicing with not her usual bamboo Shinai, the ‘sword’ used in kendo, but a bokken, a wooden sword craved in the general shape of a real sword, usually a Japanese kitana.

 

Trivia asks, “A bokken?”

 

Suguha says, “That’s right. I’m going into real combat, Trivia.”

 

Trivia says, “True enough.”

 

Suguha says, “Shinai is for kendo through it doesn’t mean that it can’t be used for real combat. In fact, kendo was practice for combat back in feudal times.”

 

Trivia says, “True enough, my princess.” Suguha gives an annoyed expression and Trivia asks, “Through isn’t bokken used for kendo too?”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “In some cases, yeah.” Suguha continues to train with the bokken and using sword techniques and strikes that seem similar to Japanese style swordsmanship, but have a mixture of European style as well as style not belonging to either.

 

Trivia thinks in her mind, with a smile, “It seems like your skill hasn’t diminished a bit, princess. You are truly a mistress of the sword as ever before.” Trivia thinks in her mind, narrowing her eyes and in a serious tone, “However, will it be enough I bet?” Suguha continues to train extensively with the bokken until she stops in her track causing Trivia to look at Suguha confused.

 

Suguha says, seemly to no one, “I know that you are there. Come on out.”

 

Trivia asks, confused, “Huh?”

 

Just then a voice says, “You haven’t changed one bit, Princess Selene.” Suguha and Trivia look to the source of the voice to see Aurora coming down from the rafters.

 

Trivia asks, surprised, “Aurora?”

 

Aurora tells Trivia, “Hello, Trivia. It has been a while.”

 

Suguha asks Trivia, “You know each other?”

 

Trivia responds, “Aurora is just like Luna, Artemis, and I. She is the guardian feline of Sailor Nebula.”

 

Suguha says, “That means…”

 

Aurora says, “Yes, we do. Nebula and I wish for you to come to Osaka-P tonight.”

 

Trivia asks, “Osaka-P?”

 

Suguha says, “That’s the jewelry store in Juuban that belongs to Serena’s childhood…the one that she mentioned that she is Sailor Nebula.”

 

Trivia says, with a nod, “Ah, yes! Now, I remember!”

 

Suguha asks Aurora, “What does Nebula want to talk about?”

 

Aurora says, “It is not my place to say.”

 

Suguha says, “Never thought that someone like her would be the mysterious type…At least based on what Serena told me about her.”

 

Aurora says, “There is more to Nebula than meets the eye and she isn’t the only one keeping secrets from your ‘royal sister’.” Suguha flinches from those words and Aurora says, “No disrespect.”

 

Trivia says, plainly, “Of course.”

 

Suguha tells Aurora, “Tell her that I will be there.”

 

Aurora says, with a nod, “Thank you.” Aurora then takes off while Suguha and Trivia watch Molly’s guardian feline until out of sight.

 

February 3, 2025, Juuban District, Osaka-P

 

Evening at the Osaka-P jewelry store has Sailor Nebula and Aurora waiting on the roof until they see Sailor Celestial, with Trivia in her arms, floating down in front of them.

 

After Sailor Celestial puts Trivia on the ground, Sailor Nebula says, “Nice to meet you, Sailor Celestial.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Good to see you, too, Nebula. It has been around ten centuries or so.”

 

Sailor Nebula says, “So, you have the memories of your past life.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Wish that I didn’t have some of my memories.”

 

Sailor Nebula says, nodding her head in understanding, “I see. You do know everything.”

 

Trivia says, “Pretty much, Nebula.”

 

Sailor Nebula tells Sailor Celestial, “Then you know that this is what HE wants.” Sailor Celestial looks at Sailor Nebula intensely and she says, “The reasons that he did what he did…”

 

Sailor Celestial says, interrupting, “I already know that.” Sailor Nebula gives a slight look of surprise and Sailor Celestial says, with a sneer, “It makes me even more mad that this is the reason that he took the lives. He restarted the tragedy of the Silver Millennium again and stained our legacy with blood. Now, sis, and her Earth family including his own Earth parents are now hiding in shame in which what that meant before in our nation’s culture.”

 

Sailor Nebula says, “True, but we, now, have that ‘evaporation’ stuff…”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “It is only because the government kept Tsukino family’s connection to that ass secret is the reason that they are not ‘evaporating’ now.”

 

Sailor Nebula says, with a nod, “Serena told me that they are keeping that option open through Serena’s father is highly against it. He is a strong man and it isn’t surprising since he comes from samurai family in which they have nothing to do with Kayaba in all sense of the word, but he is also a realist too. He is keeping ‘evaporating’ as an option knowing what would happen if everyone knows that Serena’s mom, Ikuko, is Kayaba’s sister and Serena and Sammy are Kayaba’s niece and nephew.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, solemnly, “I know. They wouldn’t give a darn that Serena is a direct victim of SAO too. That she was trapped in that nightmare like those that died.”

 

Sailor Nebula says, “While their anger is understandable, blaming Serena’s family is completely unreasonable at all.”

 

Aurora says, “However, Princess Serenity’s Earth father has great knowledge of the ways of the world and how people think due to his experience as magazine editor which means that he started as a reporter. He knows better not to take any chances.”

 

Trivia says, “From what I hear, the government is helping in that regard. They aren’t taking any chance and already have a ‘support plan’ in case the Tsukino family needs to ‘evaporate’ right away.”

 

Aurora says, “Hopefully that day will never come.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a stern tone, “Which is why I’m not letting him get away with this. Four thousand people are murdered and so many more lives are ruined in which he gets to escape into cyberspace to do who knows what? I’m not going to let that pass!”

 

Aurora says, “Celestial, this is what he wants. He has a plan.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Yeah, I get it.”

 

Trivia says, with a sigh, “She plans to ‘trip the trap’.”

 

Sailor Nebula and Aurora gasp and Aurora asks, with a sigh, “Why am I not surprised by this?”

 

Trivia says, with a sigh, “Yes, I know, Aurora. She is who she is and that hasn’t changed for centuries as well as a reincarnation.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, annoyed, “I’m right here you know? I’m getting a bit annoyed.”

 

Sailor Nebula says, with a smile, “They mean that in a good way.”

 

Sailor Celestial’s right eyebrow twitches and she retorts, sarcastically, “Oh, really?”

 

Sailor Nebula says, with a serious tone, “Look, I understand how you feel. I’m really angry at what happened to Serena, but going off like that is just what he wants. He is…”

 

Sailor Celestial retorts, with a death glare, “Don’t complement that sentience, Nebula.”

 

Sailor Nebula recoils in surprise, but she gains a strong expression and she responds, “And that’s what I’m talking about. He knows you all too well. You are just going to allow him to complete whatever plans that he has and where is the justice in that?” Sailor Celestial winches from that remark and Sailor Nebula says, with a sigh, “However, remembering you from my memories of the Silver Millennium, I know that you will go off anyway, but I will help.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, surprised, “You will?”

 

Sailor Nebula says, “To help keep you out of trouble.” Sailor Celestial gives an annoyed look and Sailor Nebula says, “But right now, we shouldn’t worry about him. There is another thing that I need help with.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “Another thing?”

 

Sailor Nebula takes out a file and she says, “Take a look at this.”

 

Sailor Celestial takes the file, looks through the contents, her eyes grow wide, and she says, “You have my support.”

 

Sailor Nebula says, with a nod, “Thank you, Celestial.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a smile, “No problem.”

 

Sailor Nebula asks, a bit concerned expression on her face, “One more thing, Celestial. Do you think…?”

 

Sailor Celestial responds, with a serious tone, “No way! She has just started to recover from this whole experience with Asuna and the three hundred SAO survivors being freed from his prisoner hidden in ALO! What do you think that will happen if she learns this now?!”

 

Sailor Nebula tells Sailor Celestial, “I understand, but it might be better for her if she heard it from you rather than someone else.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a groan, “Maybe…” Sailor Celestial tells Sailor Nebula, “But Pluto knows the truth and why do you think she isn’t opening her mouth?”

 

Sailor Nebula says, with a sigh, “Point taken.” Sailor Nebula says, “However, while you have a point about Pluto and Serena’s ‘condition’, she will need to learn soon or the result will be…”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a sigh, “Okay! Okay! I get it!” Sailor Celestial says, “When she is ready…”

 

Sailor Nebula says, “Anyway, let’s focus on the mission.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Right.” Sailor Celestial looks up into the night’s sky and she thinks, “Sorry, Serena, I’ll tell you and big brother the truth…someday.”

 

The End…For Now

 

Okay, everyone! This is the first tale of what happened when Suguha was starting out as Sailor Celestial in the ‘main’ Sailor Moon Online timeline. Remember this takes place during the ‘main’ timeline: Namely Sailor Moon Online, Shadow of Aincrad, etc. In the Hollow Fragment timeline…Well, you already know how that goes. Speaking of that, I wanted to update World’s Song last month, but I have been delayed. Hopefully, before this month is over, I will update that story. Okay, everyone, I hope that you enjoy and keep reading and review, but no flames please! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
