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 26: Gamers’ Remorselessness

 

Note: This story takes place after the events of World’s Song.

 

November 6, 2025, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

Within the area around Akihabara Station in the Chiyoda Ward of Tokyo, which has become known as Akihabara, which has become famous as a center for Japanese anime, manga, and computer goods, we find our Digidestined and their Digimon partners assembled together in the center of Akihabara.

 

Yolei asks, curiously, “Isn’t anyone getting a feeling of déjà vu?”

 

TK tells Yolei, with a smile, “Come on, Yolei! We’re not going to be attacked by energy sucking vampires again!”

 

Yolei tells TK, plainly, “You never know with us, TK.”

 

Tai says, with a smile, “Yolei has a point.”

 

Kari says, with a nod, “I’ve got to agree with that.”

 

Matt says, with a grin, “Yeah, with our luck and all.”

 

Davis says, with a smirk, “Nice outlook guys.” Kari giggles as she kisses Davis on the cheek causing Tai’s eyebrow to twitch.

 

Just then a familiar female voice shouts out, “Hey, there!” The Digidestined and their Digimon partners then look only to TK to get nearly tackled to the ground by his girlfriend, Mina Aino AKA Sailor Venus.

 

Mina says, excitedly, “Hey, sweetie!”

 

TK asks Mina, “Geez, Mina-chan, have you been taking lessons from Strea on how to tackle people?”

 

Mina says, with a grin, “Maybe.”

 

Just then another female voice booms out, “Or maybe it is the other way around.” Everyone then looks to see the rest of the Sailor Scouts, minus two certain Moon Princesses, and SAO survivors joining up with them.

 

Yolei says, excitedly, “Hey, guys!”

 

Asuna says, “Hi, Yolei-chan!”

 

Davis says, “There seems to be several people missing especially two certain Moon Princess.”

 

Several members of the ‘new arrivals’ get a bit nervous and Hotaru says, “I do wonder where our himes are and where Darien is.”

 

Kazuto says, plainly, “Actually, I do know where Sugu and Serena could be.”

 

Keiko asks Kazuto, “You do?”

 

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “Today is sixth of November after all.” A few of our heroes and heroines get confused, but then the majority of them get the idea especially those that are SAO survivors in which the rest quickly figured out what Kazuto is implying.

 

Rika says, nervously, “Oh, yeah.”

 

Lita says, nervously, “Three years…”

 

Asuna says, “We’ve been back for around nine months now.”

 

Tai says, “That can be a good thing since it means that we are getting readjusted back to our lives in ‘this world’.”

 

Ken says, “I believe that plenty of us can agree that it is a REALLY GOOD thing, Tai.”

 

Plenty of the others nod their heads in agreement and Yolei asks, “So, you figured THAT’S where she has gone to.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “I believe so, Yolei. Most likely, Darien, Sugu, and even Naruto, Hinata, and Sakura are keeping an eye on her.”

 

Lita says, with a sigh, “The girl has got to stop doing this to herself.”

 

Raye says, “Can you really blame her? It hasn’t been even a year and she spent two years in a prison filled with A LOT of pain, suffering, and death. A nightmare caused by someone that she REALLY trusted and loved once. It was a betrayal that was a knife to her heart. The whole experience can matched to all of the wars that humans fought in history and like the veterans that survived those wars, there are going to be scars.”

 

Amara says, with a nod of agreement and understanding, “Scars that will take a long time to hear…some…not at all.” Plenty of the others can’t help to nod their heads in agreement.

 

Hotaru asks, concerned, “Will she be okay?”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “Serena has found way to pick herself up again. And I’m sure that she will be here soon enough. I’m sure that she wouldn’t want us obsessively worrying about her.”

 

Asuna says, with a nod and smile, “You’re right, Kirito-kun. She will just make herself more worried if we do so.”

 

Davis says, with a grin, “Yeah, let’s go and enjoy ourselves! She’ll join up with us soon enough and we’ll have a blast!”

 

Kari says, with a nod, “You’re right, Dai-kun.”

 

Rika says, with a smile, “Nothing can keep our girl down.” Plenty of the others nod their heads in agreement and all of them start to head off through quite a few of them, namely Kazuto and Asuna especially, are glancing in another direction as they headed off.

 

November 6, 2025, Tokyo

 

Elsewhere in Tokyo, namely the rooftop of the former headquarters building of Argus, we find none other than Valkyrie Sailor Moon standing on the rooftop where she puts down a bouquet of flowers down on the roof itself.

 

Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, “Sorry, but your remains are spread all over the place, I couldn’t find a better way to honor you all.” Sailor Moon gives a brief prayer and when she is done, she then says, seemly to no one, “You know, you might be losing your touches and you need to learn the stealth portion of being a shinobi, Celestial-chan.” Sailor Moon then turns in a certain direction to find Valkyrie Sailor Celestial, Tuxedo Mask, Naruto, Valkyrie Sailor Galaxy AKA Hinata Hyuga, and Sakura in front of her.

 

Sakura says, with a smile, “Maybe you have gotten better.”

 

Naruto asks, with a smirk, “Have been training without us knowing?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a smile, “You know that ‘sneaking around’ isn’t my thing. Since I practice and play kendo, I’m more of a samurai.”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a giggle, “You have a point, Celestial.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, stepping forward, “Serena…”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a plain tone, “I know, Darien. But they need to be remembered and while we can’t have this dominate our lives, we can’t let this be forgotten.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Yeah, no kidding.”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, “Since this is where Argus’ headquarters used to be and where the SAO severs were stored…”

 

Sakura says, with a plain tone and finishing for Sailor Galaxy, “Since it was in SAO where they ‘died’, this is kind of their grave through their bodies went with their families before going through your nation’s traditional funeral rites.”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “That’s right. That’s the best way to honor all of them.”

 

Sailor Celestial tells Sailor Moon, “Well, I know that most of them would appreciate this.”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “Thank you!”

 

Sakura says, “We should get going.”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, “The others should we waiting for us in Akiba.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Oh, right.”

 

Naruto says, with a smile, “Well, this time, you won’t have to worry about any wacky adventures this time.”

 

Sakura tells Naruto, “Better not say that too much, Naruto. Karma will kick us in the butt if we piss it off.”

 

Naruto says, with a nervous tone, “Yeah, good point, Sakura-chan.”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, with a smile, “I’m sure that everything will be fine.”

 

Sakura says, with a sigh, “Maybe, Hinata, but you have to remember who we are.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a sigh, “Don’t we know it, Sakura.” Soon enough, the group leaves the roof and just afterwards, a person comes onto the roof to find Sailor Moon’s flowers where she had put them in memorial of all the good people that died in SAO.

 

November 6, 2025, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

Returning to Akihabara, the rest of our heroes and heroines are together as Davis is talking with a young man with dark brown-black hair and light brown eyes.

 

Davis says, amazed, “Awesome!”

 

The young man tells Davis, “Yeah, Davis. Thanks to the Seed, the studio is going to make an VRMMO version of Mortal Kombat.”

 

Kazuto says, “I bet that it is going to be rough even with the Seed.”

 

The young man says, with a nod, “You said it. We’re going to create worlds based on the Mortal Kombat worlds including the main worlds, but the avatars and their various abilities are going to be a chore.”

 

Yolei says, with a nod, “No joke.”

 

TK says, with a smile, “However, I think that it might be great.”

 

Mina says, excitedly, “Yeah! I would love to be like Kitana or Jade!” Mina tells TK, with a sly smirk, “I’m sure that you would love to see me in their outfits.”

 

TK gives a mad blush and Raye says, annoyed, “Cut it out, Mina-chan!”

 

Davis tells the young man, “Can’t wait to see it, bro.”

 

The young man says, with a smile, “Actually, you want to take a look before the beta.”

 

There are plenty of surprised looks and Kazuto asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

The young man says, with a smile, “Sure.”

 

Tai says, with a smile, “Sounds pretty cool to me.”

 

Ken says, with a plain tone, “This is a pretty ambitious project that the company is making due to Mortal Kombat’s level of violence.”

 

The young man says, “Yeah, ever since Mortal Kombat came out back in the nineties of the last century, it has that ‘infamous reputation’ due to that.”

 

Rika says, with a nod, “No joke.”

 

TK says, with a grin, “And people might not like seeing something similar to blood and guts coming out of their avatars.”

 

The young man says, with a nod and nervous smile, “You have a point there.” The young man then leads our heroes and heroines over to a group of screens where one of them displays what looks like Shang Tsung’s island, the stage for Mortal Kombat tournaments between Earth realm and Outworld AKA Shao Khan.

 

Davis says, amazed, “Dude! That’s Shang Tsung’s island!”

 

Kazuto says, looking at it and giving a nod, “You have recreated it very well, but then again, since you are the company that makes the Mortal Kombat games, it isn’t surprising.”

 

The young man says, with a smile, “Thanks, but it isn’t easy as you think even with the Seed giving us a hand.”

 

Mina says, excitedly, “Man! It is like you are there…through since this is going to be a VRMMO, we might get the chance! I can’t wait! I want to get in there now!” Just then, the screen turns to static, but before anyone could say or do anything, there are bright flashes coming from the screens.

 

Amara yells out, annoyed, “You had to open your big mouth, Mina-chan!”

 

Mina shouts out, nervously, “Hey, this isn’t my fault!” Our heroes and heroines yell out as the light swallows them up.

 

(Elsewhere; At this moment)

 

Elsewhere in Akiba, we find Serena, Darien, Suguha, Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata walking through the streets.

 

Serena says, “This looks familiar.”

 

Suguha tells Serena, with a smile, “Well, we don’t have to worry about weird ‘energy vampires’ this time.”

 

Serena responds, with a nervous smile, “For us, that’s a common occurrence and that’s the form of youmas.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah, I know. However, lately, the reborn Dark Agency has been taking heavy blows.”

 

Sakura says, with a smirk, “Well, it isn’t just your new strength that’s helping you know? You’ve got a brand-new Sailor Scout and her two ‘precious people’ to thank for that.”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “We know, Sakura.”

 

Naruto says, “Anyway, let’s have a blast!” Just then all of them hear what sounds like a detonation and a bright light coming from the distance in which Naruto yells out, “Hey, I didn’t mean that literally!” As everyone looks towards the source, they see a bright light coming from the distance.

 

Darien says, “I don’t like the look of that.”

 

Suguha says, seriously, “Neither do I.”

 

Naruto says, seriously, “So, what are we waiting for? Let’s move it, believe it!” Immediately, all of them headed off in the direction that they saw the ‘bright light’.

 

November 6, 2025, Unknown location

 

Asuna groans as she slowly wakes up as she hears a familiar child-like female voice call out, “Momma! Momma, wake up!” Asuna groans as she slowly wakes up and she looks up to see none other than her virtual ‘daughter’, Yui, in her human form, looking at her.

 

Asuna asks, weakly, “Y-Yui…?”

 

As Asuna gets into a sitting position, Yui says, with a smile, “Mommy, I’m glad that you are okay.” After Asuna shakes her head to clear it, she realizes that her virtual ‘daughter’ is in front of her, Asuna gives a shocked look.

 

Asuna asks, shocked, “Yui?! What are you doing here?!” Asuna then starts to look around and she asks, “Where is here?” Asuna then sees that she and the others, who are also starting to wake up and get on their feet, are on what looks like the inside of a familiar island.

 

Just then another familiar female voice says, “We don’t know, Asuna!” Asuna then looks towards to the source of the voice to find Yuuki, the famous Absolute Sword from ALO, and Strea, Yui’s younger sister through she doesn’t look like it and looking as she did in SAO with her massive two-handed sword, with them.

 

Asuna asks, shocked, “Strea? Yuuki?”

 

Yuuki says, with a nod, “Yep!” Yuuki asks, confused, “What’s going on Asuna?”

 

Strea says, “One minute we were in ALO and minding our own business and the next minute, a freaky light came, and we were here with you!”

 

Asuna asks, curiously, “A light?”

 

Yui asks, “Mommy, do you know what’s going on? I sense that we are in a virtual world, but not one that I recognize. What is this place?”

 

Kazuto then says, “I think that I know.” When Asuna looks at Kazuto, he asks, “Doesn’t this place look familiar to you?”

 

Amara says, “I know. It looks like the version of Shang Tsung’s island that’s being developed for the Mortal Kombat VRMMO.”

 

The others start to look around and Yolei asks, stunned, “Wait! Are you saying that we have been transported inside of a still in-development virtual world WITHOUT a Full-Dive device?”

 

Ken says, with narrowing eyes, “And that means…”

Matt says, plainly, “Trouble.”

 

Gabumon says, with a nod, “With a capital ‘T’, Matt.”

 

Izzy says, “I don’t think that we went through a Digital Gate like the ones that we use to get to the Digital World.”

 

Gatomon says, plainly, “At least, on our side.”

 

Raye says, plainly, “Be careful, everyone.” But then Raye’s and Amara’s spiritual sense with Davis’ and Kazuto’s ‘danger sense’ going wild.

 

Kazuto yells out, “Davis, watch out!” Just then Davis barely dodges what looks like a kunai with a chain attached to the handle of the kunai where it lodges in a tree before the kunai and chain are pulled back where everyone looks to see none other than the infamous NetherRealm wraith, Scorpion AKA Hanzo Hasashi, walking up to them.

 

Rika asks, stunned, “Holy crap! Is that who I think it is?”

 

Tai says, “If you are thinking Scorpion, then yeah!”

 

Scorpion yells out, in his monstrous voice with an angered tone, “Do not call me that name! I am Hanzo Hasashi! Who are you? Are you the reason that I returned to the form of a wraith?! Answer me, NOW!!!” Beads of hellfire burst around Scorpion with the last part of his demand and Yui immediately goes over to her ‘mother’, Asuna, where Asuna stays in front of Yui.

 

Just then a male voice responds, “Indeed, Hanzo Hasashi. In fact, they have a relation with the sorcerer that murdered your clan, your family, and turned into that wraith!”

 

Everyone looks around for the voice and Scorpion yells out, “Quan Chi? They don’t look like they have anything to do with that wretched sorcerer, who has finally paid his debt to me and my clan as well as Sub-Zero!”

 

The male voice retorts, “Do you dare risk it? You know as well that things are never what they seem. You sense that they aren’t normal especially the man with spiky red hair. You sense the chaotic power with him? He especially needs to be destroyed since he has the greatest connection!”

 

Scorpion glares at Davis, who flinches, and he yells out, “Hey, dude, are you going to listen to a mysterious voice in the sky like that?”

 

Scorpion responds, “Enough! Your actions will determine your worth! Only through combat will your true colors be revealed! FIGHT!!!” Without any hesitation, Scorpion attacks Davis as Scorpion quickly gets over to Davis and Davis barely rolls out of the way of Scorpion’s kick attack in which Davis is immediately on the defensive as he blocks Scorpion’s punches and kicks while dodging his sword swipes as well as kunai-chain weapon.

 

Kari says, worriedly, “Dai-kun!”

 

Kari prepares to go help Davis, but Tai tells Kari, “Stay back, Kari!”

 

TK says, “This guy doesn’t discriminate between men and women. There is only ‘enemies’ and ‘non-enemies’ to him!”

 

Lita says, “Yeah! You are only going to distract him!” Kari stops in her tracks, knowing that they have a point, while Davis continues to fight with Scorpion where he attacks with kunai and chain where Davis dodges the kunai with him grabbing the chain.

 

Davis yells out, slyly, “Got you!”

 

A few of the other mentally slap themselves and Kazuto shouts out, “Bad idea!”

 

Scorpion roars out, “GET OVER HERE!!!” Scorpion then uses inhuman strength to yank Davis towards him and was about bash Davis in the head, hard, but Davis recovers by hitting Scorpion on the left side of his head with a spin kick and knocking Scorpion on the ground, but Scorpion gets back to his feet with ease as if the attack didn’t happen at all.

 

Mimi says, nervously, “Wow. He’s tough.”

 

Sora says, plainly, “He is, Mimi.”

 

Mina says, “It is a good thing that Serena, Darien, Suguha, Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata weren’t with us.”

 

Tai says, “Something tells me that they are having troubles of their own.”

 

November 6, 2025, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

If Tai knew what was happening back in Akihabara, he would regret about being right in which we find Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Celestial, Naruto, Sakura, and Sailor Galaxy looking around as they see a lot of ‘creatures’ all around the area and not just any creatures, but none other than living and breathing POKEMON ‘infesting’ Akihabara.

 

Sakura says, stunned, “I can’t believe this!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, flabbergasted, “You and me both, Sakura!”

 

Sailor Moon asks, nervously, “Are we dreaming?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, a bit nervously, “I don’t think so, Serena.”

Naruto says, nervously, “Well, this is…different.” As they see, the young kids are excited while the more adult people in the area are in a panic in which Houndoom unleashes its flames causing plenty of cheers and screams.

 

Sailor Moon says, nervously, “Oh, crap!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, nervously, “No kidding!”

 

Naruto then asks, “Um, forgive the pun, but how are we going to ‘catch them all’?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Forgetting the pun, Naruto has a good point. We don’t have the ability to contain them…at least in the way in their world.”

 

Sakura says, “Yeah, if try it in the way that you catch wild animals, there is going to be fighting and people are going to get in the crossfire not to mention damage to the area.”

 

Sailor Galaxy asks Sailor Celestial, “Can you use your powers to create the devices that can contain Pokémon, Celestial?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “I hope so, Galaxy. I don’t want to even think about if something like a legendary Pokémon showed up…”

 

They hear a powerful bird-like screech and Naruto says, looking in direction of the ‘noise’, “Um, I don’t think we have to wonder anymore.” Naruto points in that direction and everyone else looks to see a Zapdos, the legendary electric bird Pokémon appears and with a loud screech, unleashes a powerful electrical attack that causes plenty of nearby electronics to go wild in which plenty of them along with a lot of windows are destroyed in strong explosions.

 

Sailor Celestial says, nervously, “Me and my big mouth.” Naruto and Sailor Galaxy pat Sailor Celestial on the back as they prepared to contain the ‘rampage’ of realized Pokémon.

 

November 6, 2025, Unknown location

 

Returning to the others, we find Davis desperately doing his best to fight off the infamous wraith and Shirai Ryu shinobi, Scorpion, with Davis using his own various abilities to match Scorpion’s own supernatural strength, speed, and abilities that’s mixed with his shinobi training. Davis uses his Force abilities to predict Scorpion’s attacks, increase his speed and agility, and uses telekinetic powers, namely Force Push, to reflect Scorpion’s kunai-chan combo as well as Scorpion’s hellfire away from him.

 

Scorpion says, “You aren’t an ordinary human. I don’t know what kind of sorcery that you are using, but it won’t save you from my wrath!”

 

Davis says, with a smirk, “Good thing for me that I’m not using magic then.”

 

Scorpion says, “You remind me of someone, boy.”

 

Davis says, annoyed, “Who are you calling a little kid, pal? I’m not some little brat you can kick around!”

 

Scorpion retorts, “Compared to me, you are just a boy, boy. And that attitude reminds me of Johnny Cage.”

 

Davis responds, with a sly smirk, “His good looks and ripping muscles?”

 

Scorpion says, plainly, “Yes. You and Cage are alike. His annoying personality.”

 

Davis gives an annoyed look and Yolei says, plainly, “I’ve got to admit that he has a point.”

Davis overhears Yolei and he yells out, annoyed, “Hey, who’s side are you on?!”

 

Yolei says, “Your side, obviously. I’m just saying he is right to say that you have a similar personality to Johnny Cage: Cocky and always able to piss people off.” Davis gives an annoyed look, but focuses his attention to Scorpion, who has continued his assault on Davis. Scorpion then leaps away from Davis and then leaps into the air in which he unleashes his kunai-chain combo at Davis in which he easily leaps back as the kunai-chain goes into the ground.

 

Davis says, with a smile, “Getting sloppy, pal!”

 

Just then Davis’ and Kazuto’s ‘danger sense’ goes wild and Kazuto yells out, “Don’t let your guard down!” Davis gives a confused look, but it was too late as Scorpion’s kunai comes out of the ground behind him and Davis screams out in pain as he is impaled through his right knee!

 

The others gasp when they see this and Kari yells out, horrified, “Dai-kun!”

 

Scorpion screams out, strongly, “GET OVER HERE!!!” Scorpion yanks the chain connected to his kunai and Davis yelps as he is slammed to the ground while Scorpion yanks the chain off the ground as well as retracted it back to himself causing Davis to be dragged off with it. As he gets closer to Scorpion, Davis quickly summons an Oblivion Keyblade and cuts the chain to escape, however, said NetherRealm wraith charges in to attack, but Davis uses a Force Push to blast him away. Davis then roars out in pain as he yanks the kunai out of his leg, and he remains sitting/lying on the ground due to the injury.

 

Veemon says, worriedly, “Davis!” Kari and Veemon try to run over to Davis, but they are stopped by a force-field.

 

Lita asks, confused, “What the?!”

 

The others run up, hit the force-field, and Mina says, nervously, “Uh oh!”

 

Agumon asks, “Where did this come from?!”

 

Gatomon says, “We should have known!” Back with Davis, he groans out from his wound that makes him unable to stand up in which he looks to see Scorpion, back on his feet and looking unhurt, charging back towards him.

 

Davis says, nervously, “Oh, crap!”

 

Just then he hears a female voice boom out in his mind, “Do you need power?” Davis gives a confused look and then something from the sky crashes down near him with a massive ‘thud’ causing a good amount of dirt and debris to thrown into the air. When Davis can see what crashed down, he finds a familiar red headband wrapped with a familiar massive hammer with what looks like a dragon engraved on the head and a spike on top.

 

Davis says, stunned, “No freaking way!”

 

The others are also shocked, and Mina says, amazed, “Whoa! That’s Shao Khan’s Wrath Hammer!”

 

TK asks, curiously, “What’s that red band that’s wrapped up in it?”

 

Patamon says, “Got me, TK.”

 

Scorpion says, shocked, “That’s…!!” Scorpion roars out as he charges right at Davis and draws his sword with the intent to kill.

 

Davis says, lowly, “Ah, man!”

 

The female voice booms out, “Do you have a choice? Take them! Take them!” Davis growls, knowing that he doesn’t have a choice, and he grabs the headband and Shao Khan’s Wrath Hammer causing him to yell out as they, both, send energy into him.

 

Kari says, worriedly, “Dai-kun!”

 

Tai, Ken, and Veemon say in unison, shocked, “Davis!” Scorpion is close to Davis and attempts to cut him in two, but then Davis, his leg injuring managing to heal, lifts Shao Khan’s Wrath Hammer and bashes Scorpion in the side of the head, hard, causing to get flung far where he hits with a massive ‘crash’! Scorpion struggles to get back on his feet and regain his senses. He manages to do so and leaps back to find Davis, with the red headband wrapped around his forehead, using the Wrath Hammer to destroy the force-field entrapping the others.

 

Scorpion asks, curiously, “What are you?!”

 

Davis slams the Wrath Hammer into the ground, and he says, turning to look at Scorpion, “The guy that’s going to kick your ass! Now, as you would say: GET OVER HERE!!!” Davis then uses his Force power to flung Scorpion towards him and slams his right fist into Scorpion’s face causing him to get send flying into the ground, again, but since Scorpion survived getting hit by Shao Khan’s Wrath Hammer, Scorpion manages to get to his feet. Davis tells Scorpion, “Ready for round two?” Scorpion then gets into a defensive stance, his eyes then widen, and he lowers his stance.

 

Scorpion then says, “I believe that we have further problems to deal with.” Scorpion then points behind Davis and everyone looks in that direction to find none other than Lui Kang and Kitana, in their ‘revenant’ forms walking over to them.

 

Tai says, plainly, “Oh, crap.”

 

Matt says, with a nod and nervous tone, “My sentiments exactly, Tai.”

 

Amara says, plainly, “Ditto.”

 

Lita says, “It is a good thing that Serena, Darien, Suguha, Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata aren’t here.”

 

November 6, 2025, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

If Lita knew what was happening in Akihabara, she would be changing her opinion because, as we can see, the area known by the ‘nickname’, Akiba, is in chaos where we find Sakura fighting against the infamous Akuma from the Street Fighter where Sakura uses her super-strength to match strength with Akuma causing him to stumble backwards.

 

Akuma gives an evil grin and he yells out, in his classic sinister voice, “Excellent.”

 

Sakura thinks in his mind, nervously, “Uh oh.”

 

Akuma says, “You aren’t a frail female after all. You have great power.” Akuma says, with his classic sneer, “But you insult me by not using your full power!”

 

Sakura retorts, “Why would I waste my power and time on you?!” Akuma roars out as he is covered in a powerful dark red and black aura causing Sakura to yelp out in fear.

 

Akuma yells out, strongly, “THEN YOU WILL DIE!!!” Akuma roars out as he attacks more intensely attacks Sakura in which Sakura yelps as she is BARELY able to hold back the titan of the Street Fighter world. On the meanwhile, Sailor Moon has her own troubles as she is fighting against none other than Sephiroth where Sailor Moon is using two Keyblades, Kingdom Key and Diamond Dust, to fend off Sephiroth and his massive sword.

 

Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, “Man! This is déjà vu!”

 

Sephiroth says, “You have strange weapons, but they aren’t just oversized keys. They are powerful weapons and that means that you are strong. However, young lady…”

 

Sailor Moon asks, a bit nervously, “However…?”

 

Sephiroth says, “Despite your ability to wield such power, you haven’t proved that you have mastered such power and the ability to defeat me. You are a strong warrior, yes, but I don’t see you being strong enough.” Sephiroth then engages Sailor Moon in an even more intense swordfight than before, but despite Sailor Moon being hard-pressed, she is able fight pretty much even with Sephiroth. Around this same time, Tuxedo Mask is engaged with none other than the infamous Bowser from the Mario game series.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Personally, I never thought that I would face the main boss monster from the first game series that I played as a child.” Tuxedo Mask leaps out of the way of Bowser’s flame attack, but there is a loud ‘bam’ and Bowser is hit on his right side by something causing him and the ‘object’ that hit him slam into the side of a building with a massive ‘crash’ putting a significant hole into the building’s side. Tuxedo Mask looks in the direction that the ‘object’ came from and finds Naruto coming over to him.

 

Naruto asks, curiously, “Really? You played video games as a kid?” Tuxedo Mask gives Naruto an annoyed look that asked: ‘Did you just ask that?’ Naruto gains a nervous look and he says, rubbing his scalp, “Okay. Never mind.” Naruto and Tuxedo Mask then turn in the direction of a roar that they heard in which they see Bowser and none other than an orc for the world of Warcraft emerge from the hole in the building that they were sent into by Naruto, who knocked the orc into Bowser. The two of them glare at each other, but then turn their attention to Tuxedo Mask and Naruto where the two of them get into defensive stances knowing that they will be gunning for them. Elsewhere, we find Sailor Galaxy battling against what is known as the Swarm from the StarCraft universe, but while the good sized horde outnumbers Sailor Galaxy, her Valkyrie Sailor Scout powers, Byakugan, and Tenseigan abilities as well as ninja skills give an OVERWHELMING edge against the Swarm horde through their sheer numbers are keeping Sailor Galaxy on her toes as well as the fact that she also has to help civilians from getting caught by the horde and suffering a ‘nasty fate’. But Sailor Celestial doesn’t have such a problem, and, in her case, Sailor Celestial might be having it the worst as she is facing what could be called ‘titans’ with her fighting none other than Shao Khan from Mortal Kombat and Nightmare from Soul Caliber. Sailor Celestial is sent skidding backwards and she uses both swords to fend off Nightmare, who seems to be wielding Soul Edge.

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, with a stunned tone, “I thought that he was a nightmare in those games, but to actually fight him in real life…!” Sailor Celestial roars out as she manages to push Nightmare backwards, but she then slammed by Shao Khan using a classic shoulder tackle of his causing Sailor Celestial to get slammed into the left side of a parked car causing it to gain a great indent into its side causing her to swords to fall out of her hands as well.

 

Shao Khan says, in his classic monstrous voice, “Pathetic, mortal! You wield such great power and yet, you don’t use it correctly! You are a toothless worm just like the Elder Gods!”

 

Sailor Celestial retorts, strongly, “You want to make a bet on that, your majesty?! Because you won’t like the royal butt kicking that I can give you!”

 

Shao Khan responds, not intimated in the least, “Words! Just pathetic words from a pathetic mortal woman! Your soul is mine!” Shao Khan brings out his Wrath Hammer and he gives a moment of pause when he looks at it in which he then charges in at super-human speed at Sailor Celestial, but she backflips out of the way and in a flash, she transforms into her Valhallan Valkyrie Sailor Scout form where then Sailor Celestial kicks Shao Khan in the face so hard that not only his helmet is flung at high speed off his face, Shao Khan himself is sent flying through a building at super-sonic speeds, heard by the sonic boom that he produced, where he lands on the street on the other side of the building with a massive ‘crash’ that sends dirt and debris miles in the air. However, Shao Khan’s powerful roar is heard as he bursts through that same building and coming at incredible super-speeds to bring down his Wrath Hammer on Sailor Celestial. He roars out, “I am Shao Khan, conqueror of worlds! I will not be insulted by a mere sliver of a human female!” Shao Khan brings his Wrath Hammer down on Sailor Celestial, but she then stops his Wrath Hammer with one hand where the sheer force of the attack is seen as the shockwave shakes the whole area around them and GREATLY cracks the concrete ground around them causing fifteen-foot crater to be formed! Shao Khan asks, shocked, “What?!”

 

Sailor Celestial responds, with a strong tone, “You know what?! I DON’T CARE!!!” Sailor Celestial then slugs Shao Khan right on the chin and sending him rocketing into the sky at speeds of Mach 5 to more and when he is high enough, Sailor Celestial teleports in front of him and hits him with such a haymaker that he rockets back to the ground where he hits the ground at speeds of Mach 10 and above causing a massive explosion sending dirt and debris hundreds of miles into the sky and tens to hundreds of miles all around the city! When the smoke and dust finally clear up, there is an IMMENSE crater with the unconscious form of Shao Khan in the center. On the meanwhile, Tuxedo Mask creates a mass of thorny vines that entrap Bowser and the orc from Warcraft while Naruto comes in for the attack.

 

“Fire Style: Blaze Duo Rasengan!”

 

Naruto, with two Rasengan infused with fire chakra, slam one fire sphere into each opponent and the two of them roar out as the flame chakra energy rips into the two of them and they are sent flying through ‘flame twisters’ where they slam into the ground about a mile away where they crash into the ground as a pair of fireballs where they give off explosions of flame and light when they hit.

 

Naruto says, with a grin, “I bet that’s going to hurt!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Maybe, but we can’t let our guard down.”

 

Naruto nods his head and he says, looking at where Shao Khan plowed into the ground, “Geez, Suguha-chan really let him have it!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “When facing someone like Shao Khan, she couldn’t hold back at all. You’ve been here long enough to know who Shao Khan is.”

 

Naruto says, with a smirk, “Hey, who doesn’t know about Mortal Kombat? The folks back home call Kurama a demon? Let’s have them meet this guy and see who they prefer!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Trust me, they will prefer Kurama through they may have a choice since Shao Khan would have already killed them and sucked their souls to fuel him.” Naruto gives a nervous nod his head and Tuxedo Mask says, “I doubt that he is finished. It takes a lot more to destroy someone like Shao Khan.”

 

Naruto says, nervously, “I’m just hoping that it is enough to keep him down until we find out what the heck is going on here.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Agreed, Naruto.” Just then there is a loud female roar of power and Naruto and Tuxedo Mask leap backwards in which Akuma rockets by where he slams into third-floor wall of a building nearby where he leaps a good imprint of himself before he flops down to the ground with a sickening ‘thud’, but Akuma, slowly, but surely, gets back to his feet.

 

Forming a familiar sphere of chakra in his right hand, Naruto says, with a grin, “Excuse me.” Naruto zips over to Akuma and he yells out, “Hey, butt ugly!”

 

“Rasengan!”

 

Ak uma turns only to get a powerful sphere of chakra slammed in his face causing him to rocket through one side of a building and crashing out another side where he slams into the concrete ground with such force that a significant amount of dirt, dust, and debris is sent hundreds of feet into the air.

 

Sakura’s voice booms, “Hey, I had him!” Naruto and Tuxedo Mask look to see Sakura walking over to them.

 

Naruto says, with a smile, “I know, Sakura-chan, but the faster that we take out these jerks and morons, the faster that we can help the others!”

 

Just then Sailor Moon’s screams is heard, and Sakura says, seriously and worriedly, “And it looks like they need us!” Naruto, Sakura, and Tuxedo Mask look to see Sailor Moon, whose armor has suffered a few cracks and she has a cut or two on the exposed portions of her ‘armored outfit’, namely her cheeks, being flung to the ground by Sephiroth!

 

Tuxedo Mask yells out, worriedly, “Sailor Moon!”

 

Sailor Moon struggles to regain her senses, but finds Sephiroth’s sword, Musamune, at her face and neck in which Sephiroth says, “You have done well, but it is over.” But then thorny vines wrap around his sword and his sword arm in which he looks to see that it was Tuxedo Mask produced them. Sephiroth easily destroys them with his sword, his arm not suffering any injuries, and he asks, slyly, “Do you really think that could stop me?”

 

Tuxedo Mask retorts, with a grin, “No, distract you.” Sephiroth gives a rare surprised look and turns towards Sailor Moon only for him to see her slam him with a Starburst Stream attack causing him to loudly grunt in pain as he is hit hard.

 

Sailor Moon says, with a winch, “Leave and get back to where you belong: In our memories.”

 

Sephiroth says, “As I have told Cloud: I will never be a memory.” Sephiroth’s black wing appears and wraps around him where he vanishes in a swirl of black feathers.

 

Sailor Moon stumbles forward and Tuxedo Mask, who gets to her side nearly instantly, asks, concerned, “Are you okay?”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “Thanks to you, Tuxedo Mask-kun.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a warm loving smile, “Any time, Meatball Head.” On the meanwhile, Naruto and Sakura go over to help Sailor Galaxy where Sakura helps people in trouble while Naruto helps Sailor Galaxy where he starts off by using a Wind Style: Rasenshuriken to devasted plenty of the remaining horde of the Swarm that’s fighting Sailor Galaxy.

 

Sailor Galaxy tells Naruto, “Thanks, Naruto-kun.”

 

Naruto responds, “No big, but you have been doing great, Hinata-chan. You really know how to handle your Senshi powers quite well.”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, with a smile, “I had plenty of help from the others in order to learn how to use them correctly and effectively.”

 

After bashing in one of the Swarm, Sakura says, seriously, “Compliment on her talent later! Right now, we have a mass of evil space bugs from an MMO game to deal with!” Naruto and Sailor Galaxy nod their heads as they continue to deal with the Swarm horde while Sailor Celestial, wielding Two-on-One Keyblade, is fighting against Nightmare when her ‘danger sense’ goes wild.

 

Sailor Moon yells out, worriedly, “Celestial, behind!” Sailor Celestial then leaps away and dodging a head shot by Shao Khan with his Wrath Hammer.

 

Shao Khan says, with a sneer, “I underestimated your power, mortal! No longer! No one makes a fool of Shao Khan!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a smirk, “Guess that makes me ‘nobody’, huh? Because I just did that!” Shao Khan gives a roar of anger and power as he prepares to attack Sailor Celestial, but he blocks an attack from Sailor Moon, and she goes back to Sailor Celestial.

 

Sailor Moon asks Sailor Celestial, “Do you have to piss off the world conquer, Celestial?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a smirk, “We’ve faced worse.” Just then there is a monstrous roar, and everyone looks to see none other than infamous floor bosses for the seventy-fourth and seventy-fifth floors of Aincrad: The Gleam Eyes and The Skull Reaper!

 

Sailor Moon, Sailor Celestial, and Tuxedo Mask, who has just joined the two Moon Princesses, gasp in shock and Sailor Moon says, horrified, “But how?! Those are…Gleam Eyes and Skull Reaper!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, annoyed, “Great. I had a feeling that this could happen.” Gleam Eyes then leaps up into the sky to bring down its massive halberd right down on the two Moon Princesses and one Earth Prince, but then three ‘streaks’ seem to come down from the skies, slash through Gleam Eyes multiple times, and Gleam Eyes roars out in pain as it comes crashing down into the concrete ground with a massive ‘thud’. Those three ‘streaks’ then stop to reveal Ryu Hayabusa of the Hayabusa ninja clan and Kasumi and Ayame of the Mugen Tenshin clan.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, surprised, “You are…!!”

Ryu says, “It seems like you are in need of aid.”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “Thank you for the help, Ryu-sensei.”

 

Ayame asks, plainly, “What’s going on here?” However, Shao Khan roars in with his Wrath Hammer, but Sailor Celestial zip in with her Keyblade and when Shao Khan’s Wrath Hammer meets Sailor Celestial’s Keyblade, the clash of their weapons and their powers causes a massive shockwave in which both sides are sent skidding backwards.

 

Kasumi says, shocked, “Such power!”

 

Ryu says, “Just like in the games. He isn’t called the ‘Conqueror of Worlds’ without good reason.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Well, he won’t be getting this world!”

 

Sailor Moon tells Tuxedo Mask, “Tuxedo Mask, help Ryu-sensei and the others take care of Gleam Eyes and Skull Reaper!”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks Sailor Moon, “Are you sure?”

 

Sailor Moon nods her head and she tell Tuxedo Mask, “Sorry to be a bit selfish.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a plain tone, “I understand.” As Tuxedo Mask goes off to help Ryu, Kasumi, and Ayame, Sailor Moon uses her Keyblades against Nightmare while Sailor Celestial continues her battle with Shao Khan.

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “I wish that I could say that I’m glad that big bro isn’t mixed up in this, but most likely, he and the others are just as mixed up in this as we are!”

 

November 6, 2025, Unknown location

 

Sailor Celestial doesn’t know how right that she is and now, returning to her adoptive big brother/cousin from two lifetimes, the Sailor Scouts, in their Valkyrie Senshi forms, and digivolved Digimon partners of our Digidestined members are fighting against Lui Kang, Kitana, and various other members of the MK universe that were turned into revenants by Quan Chi as well as a horde of NetherRealm demons.

 

“Terra Force!”

 

“Metal Wolf Claw!”

 

WarGreymon unleashes his massive orange sphere of power that vaporizes a lot of demons while MetalGarurumon unleashes his cold breath that freezes them solid in which Paildramon uses his blasters to shatter them to pieces. With Lui Kang himself, he is fighting against Davis and he is matching the former champion of Mortal Kombat move for move.

 

Lui Kang yells out, “You will not deny us! We will gain the power to restore what Raiden has taken from us and get revenge on him for our pain and suffering!”

 

Davis says, “Dude, you have a point that lightning dude should have done better, but it doesn’t mean that you have to go all villain! That sorcerer asshole is dead!”

 

Lui Kang responds, angrily, “Do not talk about things that you nothing about!” Lui Kang then unleashes a dark red fireball that takes the shape of a skull, but Scorpion comes in and slashes the ‘flame skull’ dispelling it.

 

Scorpion says, “You should take his words to heart, Lui Kang!”

 

Lui Kang tells Scorpion, “Scorpion, you fight for that fool Raiden now?!”

 

Scorpion responds, “I fight for Earth-realm! As you once did, Lui Kang!”

 

Lui Kang responds, “And now, I rule the NetherRealm with Kitana! It was Raiden that cursed us, and Raiden will pay! Once we have the power that’s here, the power that exceeds even the Elder Gods and even the One Being that came before them, we will regain the lives stolen from us and have our revenge against Raiden, the Elder Gods, and all that have caused our pain and suffering! To us and all humans! We and the realms will no longer be playthings to them!”

 

Scorpion says, “Your corruption has completely taken you away from your senses! A power beyond the Elder Gods?! Impossible!”

 

However, Kazuto, who is with Rika, Keiko, Kotone, and the others of their group without special powers, thinks about what Lui Kang said and he thinks in his mind, “Does he mean…?” Kazuto says, worriedly, “Oh no!”

 

Kotone asks Kazuto, “What’s wrong?”

 

Kazuto says, “I know what Lui Kang is talking about!”

 

Plenty of the others look at Kazuto and Rika asks, curiously, “You do?!”

 

Kazuto says, seriously, “Sugu! They are after my sister!”

 

There are looks of shock and Sailor Uranus says, in realization, “He’s right!”

 

Sailor Venus says, seriously, “Oh, yeah! Etherion! It is the embodiment of creation itself and all things, living and non-living, were created by it including the divine!”

 

Kitana says, with an evil sly tone, “And now, we know our target! Thank you!”

 

Sailor Mars slaps herself on the forehead and she screams out, angrily, “And now, you just put another target on Celestial’s back!”

 

Davis says, “Over my dead body!”

 

Lui Kang responds, “As you wish!” Lui Kang unleashes a blood red flame that takes the shape of a skull right at Davis and Scorpion, but Davis counters with golden-red flames in the shape of a dragon that negates both attacks causing both Scorpion and Lui Kang to be shocked.

 

Davis asks, tauntingly, “What’s the matter? Dragon got your tongue?”

 

Lui Kang yells out, angrily, “I do not know how you replicate my power, but you will pay for mocking me!”

 

Davis says, “Give it your best shot!” Lui Kang and Davis then attack each other, again, but Davis, somehow using Lui Kang’s own fighting style, matches him move for move. On the meanwhile, Sailor Star is fighting Kitana using her rapier against Kitana’s bladed fans.

 

Sailor Star says, sternly, “You will not harm our friend!”

 

Kitana shouts out, “None shall stand in our way! Especially not you, little girl!” Sailor Star and Kitana continue to fight with Sailor Star blocking and dodging Kitana’s attacks where Sailor Pluto is fighting with Kabal and Sailor Uranus is dodging Striker’s bullets due to her super-speed. At one point, Sailor Uranus gets close to Striker, grabs his guns, kicks him away, and crushes Striker’s guns into balls of metal with her armored hands.

 

Tai says, with a snarl, “I hate this!”

 

Matt tells Tai, “I know that you are worried about Kari and Davis, Tai, but we don’t have powers!”

 

Rika asks, “But why does Strea have her sword skills?” Everyone looks towards Strea, who is fighting NetherRealm fiends with her massive sword and cutting them in two, and Yuuki, who has taken the skies on her wings and fighting the fiends from the skies.

 

Kazuto thinks in his mind, “And Yuuki has her wings and abilities from ALO as well. I wonder…” Back to the fight, Sailor Star and Kitana are fighting intensely, but then at one point, Sailor Star finds a break in Kitana’s guard and she unleashes rapid-fire multiple Linears and hitting multiple upon multiple times causing Kitana to scream out as she is sent flying from the last strike!

 

Lui Kang sees this and he yells out, shocked, “Kitana!!!” Lui Kang dodges an attack from Davis and Lui Kang knocks him down with his aerial kick assault in which he then unleashes dark red fireball in the form of a skull right at Sailor Star.

 

Seeing this, Kazuto screams out, worriedly, “Asuna, watch out!” However, Sailor Star doesn’t see the attack in time, and she yells out as she is hit by the attack in which Kitana takes advantage and slashes one of the unprotected areas of her legs with her bladed fans causing Sailor Star to scream out in pain as she is slashed.

 

Yui yells out, horrified, “Mommy!”

 

Kazuto screams out, horrified, “Asuna!”

 

Sailor Star lands on the ground, hard, and Kitana, looming over her, yells out, “Pay for you foolish with your life and your soul!” Kitana prepares to impale Sailor Star in the head with her bladed fans.

 

Kazuto yells out, strongly, “No!” With a bright glow, Kazuto zooms off while Kitana attacks Sailor Star, who is stunned and unable to defend herself, but her bladed fan is stopped by a familiar sword. When Kitana looks towards the wielder of the blade, it is none other than Kazuto, who now looks like he did in SAO AKA Kirito, the ‘Black Swordsman of SAO’, with both his Elucidator and Dark Repulser, which is the sword that stopped Kitana’s attack.

 

Regaining her senses, Sailor Star sees this, and she asks, surprised, “Kirito-kun?”

 

Kazuto yells out, strongly, “Don’t you even dare!” Moving like he did in SAO, Kazuto uses his two swords to knock Kitana’s bladed fans out of her heads and surprised by this, she hesitates for a moment which proved to be a BIG mistake by giving Kazuto the time that he needed to attack Kitana with Eclipse causing Kitana to scream out in pain and agony as the attack rips into her before sending her flying where she bounces across the ground three times before skidding to a stop around seven hundred yards away from Kazuto and Sailor Star.

 

Lui Kang and Sindel, Kitana’s mother and former queen of Edenia, see this and they shout out in unison, horrified, “NO!!!”

 

Lui Kang shouts out, angrily, “You will pay for that!” Lui Kang turns his attention to Kazuto, but he is then impaled in the shoulder by a familiar kunai and chain, however, when Lui Kang looks, he finds that it is Davis that’s holding the kunai and chain.

 

Davis yells out, “Forgetting about someone! And I hope that I don’t get copyrighted: GET OVER HERE!!!” Davis then yanks Lui Kang over to him, bashes him in the face so hard that he slams, head-first, into the ground, and Davis then grabs Lui Kang and throws him into a tree where the sheer force of the impact rips the tree from the ground.

 

Scorpion goes over to Davis and he says, “You should question on how you got this ability before you ended up as an unknowing and unwilling pawn of someone else!”

 

Davis asks Scorpion, curiously, “What’s that supposed to mean?” Scorpion doesn’t answer as he returns to fighting and Davis asks, annoyed, “Why do the ‘mysterious types’ have to be so annoying?” Just then Davis remembers something, and he thinks, “Hold up! Wasn’t there a guy that got the ability to copy the skills and abilities of other warriors because of someone else giving him that power?”  Just then a massive ‘bad feeling’ starts to well up in Davis, but he must ignore it for now as the fight is going on in which he transforms into his ‘Light Hawk’ form and continues to fight. At the same time, Sindel uses her ‘sonic screen’ to throw Sailors Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter away.

 

Sailor Jupiter yells out, “Damn! That’s just as bad as Sailor Moon’s version!”

 

Sailor Mars says, annoyed, “No kidding!”

 

November 6, 2025, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

Back in Akihabara, we find Tuxedo Mask, three Elemental Country shinobi, one Hayabusa ninja, two Mugen Tenshin ninja, and two Sailor Scouts dealing with the chaos in which Sailor Moon sneezes, making her wonder why she just sneezed, but that thought is put aside as she continues to fight the great boss of the Soul Caliber series, Nightmare AKA an ‘embodiment’ of the fiend sword, Soul Edge.

 

November 6, 2025, Unknown location

 

Returning to the others, Sindel turns her attention to Kazuto and she looks angrily at him.

 

Sindel yells out, angrily, “You will pay for hurting my daughter!”

 

But before she can attack, Sailor Sun’s voice booms out, “You are the one that turned her into that, you know!” Sindel turns towards the direction that Sailor Sun’s voice came from and Sailor Sun says, strongly, “You are the one that murdered your own daughter in cold blood!”

 

Sindel shouts out, “That was Shao Khan’s fault! He used me like a puppet and used me to kill my daughter! Quan Chi brought her back to me and now, she is right where she belongs! She is an empress as she should be!”

 

Sailor Sun responds, “An empress of the dead!”

 

Sindel says, “As you will be, little girl!” But before Sindel can strike, a powerful mystical arrow strikes her in the face causing a strong explosion and Sindel yells out as she flying to the ground. In the direction where the arrow came from, we find Sailor Orion flying in the skies and looking down at Sindel.

 

Sailor Orion says, plainly, “You should always remember to check your surroundings.” Sailor Sun gives a ‘thumbs up’ to Sailor Orion, who nods in reply, as they continue to help the others in the battle.

 

November 6, 2025, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

Once again, in Akiba, Sailor Celestial is clashing with Shao Khan with Sailor Celestial’s Keyblade going against Shao Khan’s Wrath Hammer with each clash causing significant shockwaves that greatly cracks the ground all around them.

 

Shao Khan roars out, strongly and angrily, “I am Shao Khan, conqueror of worlds! I will not be denied by a mere sliver of a mortal girl!”

 

Sailor Celestial responds, annoyed, “Don’t you ever shut up?!” With a roar of anger, Shao Khan tries to crush Sailor Celestial’s head with a powerful blow, but her roars out as a familiar Elucidator sword from Sailor Moon impales his left knee causing him to stumble and get distracted long enough, which is only for a brief second due to the damage being more of annoyance than actual serious pain, to allow Sailor Celestial to focus her energies into her broach, which opens up, where Sailor Celestial unleashes a rainbow beam of energy causing Shao Khan to roar out as he is entrapped in a massive prism-like rainbow crystal.

 

Naruto’s voice booms out, “Nice one, Celestial-chan!” Sailor Celestial looks to see Naruto, Sakura, and Sailor Galaxy come up to her.

 

Sailor Galaxy asks, “Are you okay?”

 

Sailor Celestial, breathing heavily, responds, wearily, “Okay…I guess, but he really lives up to his reputation.”

 

Sakura tells Sailor Celestial, “You don’t get called ‘Conqueror of Worlds’ for no reason.”

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “No joke!” On the meanwhile, Tuxedo Mask and the three other ninjas take down both Gleam Eyes and Skull Reaper where they shatter into hundreds of data pixels.

 

Ryu says, “Good work!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Yes, indeed.” But then they hear a massive female grunt and they look to see Sailor Moon fighting against Nightmare and two of them were in a deadly stalemate with each other with one ‘wrong move’ could mean the end of the other, but then Nightmare’s legs are bound by thorny vines causing Nightmare to stumble forward, through not fall down, which would be his undoing because that allowed an opening for Sailor Moon to slash him apart with Starburst Stream where Nightmare collapses into a heap of his dark armor and Soul Edge. Sailor Moon, breathing heavily due to exhaustion, barely stays on her feet and Tuxedo Mask leaps over causing him to ask, “Are you all right, Serena?”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “I’m…okay. Just worn out.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, plainly, “Don’t blame you. You were dealing with the boss of bosses from Soul Caliber.”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “No kidding.” Sailor Moon then asks, “But how are these ‘game characters’ coming to life? And where are they coming from?”

 

Ryu says, “Very good questions, Sailor Moon. And I believe that our answers will be appearing soon enough.” Ryu then looks in a certain direction and when everyone else does so, they are surprised to see a glowing figure that looks like a young girl with violet hair, yellow eyes, and wearing a dark robe dress.

 

Sailor Galaxy asks, “Who is that?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “I suspect that she is the center of this madness.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks the figure, “Who are you?”

 

The female figure responds, in a high female voice, “Just call me Thorn.”

 

Naruto asks, curiously, “Thorn?”

 

The female figure, Thorn, says, with a giggle, “Personally, I’m amazed that you were able to stop greatest villains from all of these games, but leave to heroes and ninja for you. I was surprised that we had real-life ninja…and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and Sakura Haruno in the flesh. And don’t say that you are cosplayers, I’ve seen the anime and read the manga too many times to know the difference between cosplays and people that can produce a real-life Rasengan.”

 

Na ruto asks, annoyed, “Fine, but what’s the big idea of doing what you did?”

 

Thorn responds, with a shrug, “Just curious. Got my hands on some strange new powers to make fantasy becomes real and I decided to try it out.”

 

Sailor Moon asks, stunned, “By causing mayhem and destruction?”

 

Thorn replies, with a shrug, “Hey, no one really got hurt. Some buildings and cars and stuff got busted, but no person suffered any major boo-boos you know? And since you did your jobs so well, it was doubly assured!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, irritated, “Well, let me show you about doing my job when I give you a spanking!”

 

Thorn says, not intimated, “Ooh, I’m so scared! Well, if you want to ‘spank me’ for being a bad girl, you are going to have to do it, my way!” Thorn produces a black Real Solid Vision duel disk around her left wrist and inserts a dueling deck inside.

 

Sailor Galaxy asks, curiously, “A duel?”

 

Thorn replies, with a sly smile, “Yep. And I’ll give you a point. Your other friends are involved, I know where they are, and unless you beat me, they aren’t getting out of their situation.” Thorn snaps her fingers and an image of what’s happening to the others appear in the sky above them.

 

They give looks of shock and Sailor Celestial says, “Big brother!”

 

Sailor Moon says, worriedly, “Everyone!”

 

When plenty of the others glare at Thorn, she says, with a sly smirk, “I think that you know better. If anything happens to me, they may not get out of there and you CAN’T take the risk.”

 

Ryu says, “And most likely, you have a way to get away even if we do.”

 

Thorn says, with a smile, “Well, an adult who is quite smart? Isn’t that a surprise? I guess that it had to happen sooner or later.”

 

Thorn snaps her fingers causing the image to vanish and Sailor Moon says, as her duel disk appears around her armored left wrist, “If you need an opponent, I’ll be your opponent!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, concerned, “Sailor Moon!”

 

Thorn says, excitedly, “Really? That would be exciting! Dueling against the famous Sailor Moon! Sounds like a blast!” Thorn says, with a grin, “Through dueling against Sailor Celestial might make me more famous if I win.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, curiously, “Huh?”

 

Thorn says, “Don’t you know. Ever since you appeared back in March of this year, you really made a name for yourself. Plenty of people are saying that you are the best Sailor Scout of all, not Sailor Moon. She is becoming ‘old news’ and you are getting quite the fanbase.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, nervously, “Oh, great.”

 

Sailor Moon asks Thorn, “Are your ‘divide and conquer’ tactics done yet?”

 

Thorn says, “You saw through me so easily? Can’t blame a girl for trying. I’m the ‘villain’ after all. So, do what villains do right? Oh, well. It seems a bit underhanded to me anyway. I was just getting into the villain’s role.”

 

Sailor Galaxy whispers to Naruto, “She doesn’t seem like your usual villain and I don’t think she is lying right now.”

 

Naruto says, with a nod and whisper, “Yeah.”

 

Sakura says, with a whisper, “She seems to be a child that has gotten a new ‘toy’ and can’t help herself.” That ‘feeling’ is felt by the others as everyone, minus Sailor Moon, gets out of the way as Sailor Moon and Thorn activate their duel disks after inserting their decks inside of them causing their decks to get shuffled, the ‘energy blades’ that contain the Monster and Pendulum Zones to appear, and after their touch screen display 4000 life-points for each duelist, both of them draw five cards from their decks.

 

“Duel!” Sailor Moon and Thorn say in unison as their duel begins.

 

Starting Scores:

Sailor Moon: 4000

Thorn: 4000

 

Thorn says, drawing a card, “I’ll start this duel off! My turn! I draw!” Thorn puts one card onto her disk, and she says, “I’ll start off with Silent Magician level four!” Just then Silent Magician LV4 (1000/1000) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Naruto says, plainly, “That’s trouble.”

 

Sakura says, “And something tells me that it is going to get worse.”

 

Thorn says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate my Level Up spell card! Now, I can upgrade my level monster to the next level!”

 

Sailor Celestial asks Sakura, “Do you have to be right, Sakura?”

 

Sakura says, with a groan, “I wish that I wasn’t!”

 

Thorn says, putting a card from her deck on her disk, “I upgrade level four Silent Magician to level eight!” Silent Magician LV4 then ‘grows up’ and ‘transforms’ into Silent Magician LV8 (3500/1000) appears on the field in attack mode. Thorn says, putting one more card into the main slot of her disk, “And then I place one card face-down and call it a turn!”

 

Sailor Moon says, drawing a card, “My move! I draw!” Sailor Moon says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I start off with Melody of Awakening Dragon! By discarding one card, I can add two dragons that have three thousand or more attack points and twenty-five hundred or less defense points from my deck to my hand!” Sailor Moon discards a card and two cards come out of her deck.

 

Thorn asks, confused, “What kind of monsters have that kind of attack and defense points?”

 

Sailor Moon says, displaying two Blue-Eyes White Dragons (3000/2500 X 2) monster cards, “Do these look familiar? Because I think that they fit the bill!”

 

Thorn yells out, flabbergasted, “What?! How do you have super-duper legendary cards like that?!”

 

Sailor Moon says, drawing two cards, “That’s for me to know and you to find out! The card that I discarded was a card known as Card of Compensation! When it is sent from my hand to the graveyard, I get to draw two more cards!” Sailor Moon says, putting another card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I play Polymerization!” Sailor Moon discards three cards to her disk’s graveyard slot, three Blue-Eyes White Dragons (3000/2500 X 3) appear on the field, and Sailor Moon says, “And now, I combine the THREE Blue-Eyes White Dragons in my hand!” As the three dragons goes into a fusion vortex, Sailor Moon takes a Fusion Monster card from her Extra Deck and she says, putting said Fusion Monster card on her disk, “Meet Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon!” Out of the fusion vortex, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800) appears on the field in attack mode. Sailor Moon says, “Blue-Eyes, destroy her Silent Magician with Neutron Blast!” Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon unleashes its powerful attack that vaporizes Silent Magician LV8 in one vicious attack!

 

Thorn says, pushing a button on her disk, “Nope! I activate my Defense Draw!” Thorn’s face-down card is revealed to be the Defense Draw trap card and Thorn says, “Not only don’t I get damaged, but I get an extra card!” A shield protects Thorn from the shockwave caused by the destruction of her monster and when the shield is gone, Thorn draws one card from her deck.

 

Sailor Moon says, putting three cards into the main slot of her disk, “First, I place three cards face-down!” Sailor Moon says, putting the final card in her hand into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate Mirage of Nightmare to end my turn!”

 

Thorn says, drawing a card, “Okay, my turn! I draw!”

 

Sailor Moon says, drawing four cards from her deck, “And mine, too, due to my Mirage! Thanks to this card, I can draw until I have four cards in my hand during your Standby Phase, but during my next Standby, I need to discard the same number of cards that I drew!” Sailor Moon says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “But I won’t with this! I play Emergency Provisions!” Sailor Moon’s face-down card is revealed to be the Emergency Provisions Quick-Play spell card and Sailor Moon says, “Thanks to this card, I can get rid of any number of spell and trap cards on my field and I gain a grand for each other! And I choose Mirage of Nightmare!” The ‘image’ of Mirage of Nightmare continuous spell card vanishes, and Sailor Moon’s life-points increase by 1000 more points!

 

Thorn says, putting one card into the main slot, “Not bad, but I play my Pot of Greed and that means more cards for me!” Thorn draws two cards from her deck, gives a sly smile, and she then displays two Pendulum Monster cards, Edge Imp Cotton Eater (2400/1600) and Fluffal Angel (600/1200), causing her to say, “I take my scale one, Edge Imp Cotton Eater, and scale eight, Fluffal Angel, and set the Pendulum Scale!”

 

There are gasps of shock and Naruto yells out, stunned, “No way!”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, flabbergasted, “Pendulum?!” Thorn puts the card on her disk’s Pendulum Zones causing her disk’s Monster Card Zones to light up with the word ‘Pendulum’ in rainbow colors while the two monsters appear on the field in two columns of light, one monster per column, with the number 1 below Cotton Eater and number 8 belong Fluffal Angel.

 

Ryu says, “You shouldn’t be so surprised. Ever since you introduced Pendulum, Industrial Illusions and its ‘supporting companies’ have managed to replicate Pendulum Monsters.” Ryu says, with narrowing eyes, “However, they haven’t become common among duelists yet, so, it does make one wonder.”

 

Thorn says, “With these, I can summon monsters that are levels two through seven this turn! Swing, pendulum of destiny! Open the gate and bring forth the terror of the forsaken! Pendulum Summon!” Thorn puts two cards on her duel disk, and she says, “Come on out, Edge Imp Sabers and Fluffal Cat!” A circle of light appears on the field, two ‘lights’ come from the circle, and those ‘lights’ are revealed to be Edge Imp Sabers (1200/800) and Fluffal Cat (700/300) in attack mode. Thorn says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I play my Fusion Substitute! Now, I can fuse monsters on my field to bring out a Fusion Monster! I fuse Edge Imp Sabers with Fluffal Cat!” Both monsters go into a fusion vortex, Thorn takes out a Fusion Monster card from her Extra Deck, and she says, putting the Fusion Monster card on her disk, “This card will leave you in pieces by clawing you to death! I Fusion Summon Frightfur Tiger in attack mode!” Out of the vortex, Frightfur Tiger (1900/1200) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Naruto says, nervously, “Yipe! That’s one dangerous stuffed tiger!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “I’ll say!”

 

Thorn says, with a sly grin, “More dangerous that your friends think! My Tiger, when summoned, destroys cards on your field equal to the number of monsters that I fused to bring out my cuddy kitty cat!” Sailor Moon gasps in shock and Thorn says, with a mischievous smile, “And that’s two! So, it is time for you to say bye-bye to your naughty dragon with one of your face-down cards!” Frightfur Tiger’s scissors then cut down Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon with one Sailor Moon’s face-down cards.

 

Naruto says, shocked, “No way!”

 

Thorn says, with a grin, “But that’s not all! My Tiger also boosts all Frightfur monsters by three hundred points for every Fluffal and Frightfur monster I control even itself!” Frightfur Tiger then goes from 1900/1200 to 2200/1200 and Thorn says, excitedly, “But I’m not done yet! My Cotton Eater’s Pendulum Effect boosts all my Fusion Monsters by three hundred and when I bring out a Frightfur Fusion Monster, I get an extra card! Good for me!” Frightfur Tiger then goes from 2200/1200 to 2500/1200 and Thorn draws one card from her deck in which a card comes out of her disk’s graveyard slot causing her to say, “Oh, my sweet kitty cat also allows me to return one Polymerization from my graveyard to my hand when he is used for Fusion Summon! And Fusion Substitute counts as Polymerization!” Thorn says, “Next, I activate my Angel’s Pendulum Effect! I can revive one Edge Imp or Fluffal monster from my grave, but I can only summon Fusion Monsters from my Extra Deck for the rest of the turn, but that’s okay with me! Time for Sabers to cut back onto the scene!” Soon after, Edge Imp Sabers (1200/800) returns to the field in attack mode and Thorn says, putting one card on her disk, “Then I play Fluffal Rabbit!” Fluffal Rabbit (300/1200) appears on the field in attack mode and Thorn says, putting one card into the main slot, “Then I activate my Fusion Substitute again! I use it to fuse Sabers and my cute bunny rabbit together!” Sabers and Rabbit then goes into a fusion vortex, a Fusion Monster card comes out of Thorn’s Extra Deck, and she says, putting the Fusion Monster card on her disk, “This is one wolf that’s going to gobble you all up! Frightfur Wolf!” Out of the fusion vortex, Frightfur Wolf (2000/1500) appears on the field in attack mode and Thorn says, with a smile, “And thanks to Tiger’s ability, they get boosted due to one more Frightfur being on the field. Plus, my Cotton Eater boosts my Wolf even more and I get another card! Good for me!” Frightfur Tiger goes from 2500/1200 to 2800/1200 while Frightfur Wolf going from 2000/1500 to 2900/1500 with Thorn drawing an extra card from her deck.

 

Sailor Celestial says, “There is no way that Sailor Moon can handle that!”

 

Thorn says, with a smile, “Yep! Oh, yeah! My sweet doggie can attack any number of times equal to the number of monsters used to summon him, so, he gets two attacks per turn! And thanks to my bunny, I get Sabers or a Fluffal monster back when she is used for a Fusion Summon, but that won’t matter in a moment!” A card comes out of the graveyard slot of Thorn’s disk and she says, “Okay, my Frightfur monsters, time to put the scare on Sailor Moon!”

 

As the two Frightfur monsters leap in to the attack, Sailor Moon says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “Wrong! I activate my trap: Negate Attack!” Sailor Moon’s final face-down card is revealed to be Negate Attack counter-trap card and Sailor Moon says, “This trap card negates your attack and ends the Battle Phase!” A swirling shield protects Sailor Moon from the attack of the two Frightfur monsters and sends them back to Thorn’s field.

 

Thorn gives a pout, but then gives a shrug of her shoulders causing her to say, “Oh, well!” Thorn then puts two cards into the main slot of her disk, and she says, “I end my turn with two cards face-down.”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Moon: 5000

Thorn: 4000

 

Sailor Moon says, drawing a card, “My turn! I draw!” Sailor Moon displays two Pendulum Monster cards, Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver (2000/2600) and Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon (2700/2000), and she says, “I take scale four, Performapal Odd-Eyes Dissolver and scale eight, Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon, and set the Pendulum Scale!”

 

Thorn says, stunned, “What? I don’t believe it!” Sailor Moon puts the two Pendulum Monster cards on her disk’s Pendulum Zones causing said monsters to appear in two columns of light, one monster per column, and the number 4 below Odd-Eyes Dissolver with the number 8 below Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon.

 

As a crystal pendulum appears and starts to swing between the two monsters within their columns of light, Sailor Moon says, “With this, I can summon monsters that are levels five through seven this turn! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Sailor Moon puts two cards on her disk, and she shouts out, “Time for a double threat with Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!” A circle of light appears on the field, two ‘lights’ come from the circle, and those ‘lights’ are revealed to be Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon (1200/2400) and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) in attack mode. Sailor Moon says, “Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon’s ability now activates! When he is special summoned, he targets one monster brought out from the Extra Deck and until the end of the turn, their abilities are negated!” Thorn gives a look of shock and Sailor Moon says, “Frightfur Tiger, now, has the heel!” Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon shoots a beam of energy at Frightfur Tiger causing it to roar out as its abilities are negated causing it to go from 2800/1200 down to 2200/1200 while Frightfur Wolf goes from 2900/1500 to 2300/1500 due to Frightfur Tiger’s ability being negated.

 

Sailor Celestial says, excitedly, “Awesome! She can use Pendulum Dragon to take care of Tiger!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, plainly, “So it would seem, Celestial.”

 

Sailor Celestial gives a confused look and Sailor Moon says, “And now, I activate Dissolver’s Pendulum Effect! Now, I can summon a Dragon Fusion Monster with monsters in my hand or field! I fuse Persona with Pendulum Dragon!” Odd-Eyes Persona and Pendulum Dragons then goes into a fusion vortex, a Fusion Monster card comes out of Sailor Moon’s Extra Deck, and she says, putting it on her disk, “This dragon is going to take you for a spin! I bring out Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon!” Out of the fusion vortex, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon (2500/3000) appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Moon says, “When this dragon starts bringing up a storm, it blows one of your monsters in attack mode back to your hand! So, your wolf is brought to heel!”

 

Thorn says, surprised, “Oh no!” Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon then creates a twister that sends Frightfur Wolf flying, but Thorn says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “I activate my trap: Frightfur March!” Thorn’s face-down card is revealed to be the Frightfur March counter-trap card and Thorn says, with a sly grin, “Since you targeted one of my Frightfur monsters with an effect, this card negates your effect and destroys the card that the effect came from!”

 

Sailor Moon says, seriously, “Wrong! I activate Vortex Dragon’s second ability! When you activated an effect, I can return one face-up Pendulum Monster from my Extra Deck back to my deck to negate the effect and destroy the card!” Thorn gives a look of shock as a card comes out of Sailor Moon’s Extra Deck in which she displays Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) Pendulum Monster card causing her to say, “I return Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon to my deck to negate your trap!” Sailor Moon puts said card in her deck, her deck is shuffled, and a powerful wind negates Frightfur March as well as destroys it causing Frightful Wolf to turn into a beam of light that goes into Thorn’s Extra Deck.

 

Sakura says, excitedly, “Way to go, girlfriend!”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Odd-Eyes, attack Frightfur Wolf now!” Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon unleashes another powerful wind storm that slams into Frightfur Tiger, destroying it, and Thorn yelps as she loses 300 life-points as a result. Sailor Moon says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I end my turn with a card face-down!”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Moon: 5000

Thorn: 3700

 

Thorn says, drawing a card, “It is my turn! I draw!” Thorn says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “I activate my face-down card: Call of the Haunted!” Thorn’s other face-down card is revealed to be the Call of the Haunted continuous trap card and Thorn says, “With this guy, I can call my Frightfur Tiger back from the grave!”

 

Sailor Moon says, as a card come out of her Extra Deck, “Don’t count on it! I activate Vortex Dragon’s ability! By returning one Pendulum Monster from my Extra Deck to my main deck, I negate your card and destroy!” Sailor Moon returns the card from her Extra Deck to her deck, her deck is shuffled, and Vortex Dragon creates a wind storm that destroys Call of the Haunted continuous trap card.

 

Thorn says, with a sly grin, “But now, you have no more face-up Pendulum Monsters in your Extra Deck!”

 

The others give concerned looks and Sailor Celestial says, “I don’t like the sound of that.”

 

Thorn says, “I activate the effect of my Fusion Substitute in my grave! By banishing it from my grave, I can return one Fusion Monster to my Extra Deck and then I get an extra card!” Thorn returns Frightfur Tiger (1900/1200) Fusion Monster card from her graveyard back to the Extra Deck slot of her disk and Thorn draws one card in which she then says, “With my set Pendulum Scale, I can summon monsters that are levels two through seven this turn! Swing, pendulum of destiny! Open the gate and bring forth the terror of the forsaken! Pendulum Summon!” Thorn puts two cards on her duel disk, and she says, “It is time for the return of Edge Imp Sabers with his new friend: Fluffal Penguin!” A circle of light appears on the field, two ‘lights’ come from it, and those lights are Edge Imp Sabers (1200/800) and Fluffal Penguin (1600/1100) appears on the field in attack mode. Thorn says, “Then I activate my Angel’s Pendulum Effect! Welcome back, my cute little bunny!” Just then Fluffal Rabbit (300/1200) returns to the field in attack mode and Thorn says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I play Aria from Beyond spell card! This card allows me to play one spell card removed from play and I choose my Fusion Substitute! With it, I fuse Sabers, Penguin, and Rabbit together!” The three said monsters go into a fusion vortex, a Fusion Monster card comes out of Thorn’s Extra Deck, and she says, putting it on her disk, “When you see this, you will regret ever playing with dollies! Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary!” Out of the fusion vortex, Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary (2000/3000-2300/3000), a ghoulish little girl doll that’s floating in the air with a long white dress, appears on the field in attack mode in which Thorn says, “And thanks to my Cotton Edge, she gains three hundred more attacks points and I get a new card!”

 

As Thorn draws a card from her deck, Sailor Celestial says, nervously, “Ugh! Makes me not want to see another doll ever again!”

 

Sakura says, with a nod, “You said it!”

 

Thorn says, as a card comes out of her graveyard slot, “Oh, thanks to my cute little rabbit! I get an Edge Imp or Fluffal back from my graveyard! But that’s not all! Thanks to my cutie penguin, when he is used for a Fusion Summon, I draw two cards and then I discard one card from my deck!” Thorn draws two cards, discards one card, and she says, drawing two cards, “And you should recognize it! It is Card of Compensation! That means two more cards for me! Then Nightmary gains three hundred attack points for every fairy and fiend monster in my grave during my turn! And I have three of them!” Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary then goes from 2300/3000 to 3200/3000 and Thorn says, putting one card on her disk, “But I’m not done yet! I play Fluffal Owl in attack mode now!” Just then Fluffal Owl (1000/1000) appears on the field in attack mode and Thorn says, as a card comes out of her deck, “Thanks to my Owl’s ability, I get one Polymerization card from my deck to add to my hand!” Thorn says, “Then by paying five hundred life-points, I can fuse monsters in my hand and on my field to summon a Frightfur Fusion Monster!” Thorn discards one card from her hand, Edge Imp Sabers (1200/800) reappears on the field and Thorn says, slyly, “And now, I can fuse my Sabers, again, with my Owl this time!” As Thorn’s life-points drop by 500 points, Sabers and Owl goes into a fusion vortex, a Fusion Monster card comes out of her Extra Deck, and she says, “And now, here comes the deadly fish of the sea: Frightfur Kraken!” Thorn puts the Fusion Monster card on her disk and out of the fusion vortex, Frightfur Kraken (2200/3000-2500/3000), a scary violet kraken doll monster with scythes as the ends of its tentacles, appears on the field in attack mode. Thorn says, drawing a card, “And thanks to Cotton Edge, Kraken gets a boost and I get a new card! Next, Kraken allows me to target one monster and it gets sent to the graveyard!”

 

There are gasps of shock and Sailor Galaxy says, worriedly, “Oh no!”

 

Thorn says, with a mischievous grin, “You know what that means! Bye-bye, you mean old lizard!” Just then a massive tsunami swallows Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon and Thorn says, “And since there are two more fairy and fiend monsters in my graveyard, Nightmary gets a power boost!” Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary then goes from 3200/3000 to 3800/3000 due to her ability.

 

Naruto says, “Oh, man! She is defenseless!”

 

Sailor Moon says, pushing a button on her disk, “Not for long! I activate my Call of the Haunted!” Sailor Moon’s face-down is revealed to be the Call of the Haunted continuous trap card and Sailor Moon says, “I use it to revive Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon!” Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon (2500/3000) returns to the field in attack mode and Sailor Moon says, “Thanks to his ability, one monster in attack mode is returned to your hand!”

 

A twister forms around Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary, but Thorn says, “You can’t use that trick again! I play Nightmary’s other effect!” A card comes out of her Extra Deck and she says, displaying Frightfur Wolf (2000/1500) Fusion Monster card, “When you target my Nightmary with a card effect, I remove a Frightfur from my Extra Deck and that effect is negated! Too bad!” The Fusion Monster card vanishes from Thorn’s hand and the twister around Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary dispels in which Thorn says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “But your troubles aren’t over yet! I activate my Polymerization!” Thorn discards two cards causing Edge Imp Saw (500/1000) and Fluffal Leo (1600/1200) appear on the field, the two monsters go into a fusion vortex, and Thorn says, getting a Fusion Monster card from her Extra Deck, “I fuse Edge Imp Saw with Fluffal Leo and bring out a monster with some claws: Frightfur Leo!” Thorn puts the Fusion Monster card on her disk and out of the fusion vortex, Frightfur Leo (2400/2000-2700/2000) appears on the field in attack mode in which Thorn says, drawing a card, “Cotton Edge is helping my kitty cat and me, yes! And now, Leo can cut your monster down to size by destroying it and you lose life-points equal to its attack points!” Frightfur Leo unleashes saw blades that slash into Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon causing it to roar out as it is destroyed in which the shockwave sends Sailor Moon skidding backwards as she loses 2500 life-points.

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, concerned, “Are you okay?”

 

Thorn says, with a smile, “She won’t be for long since my Nightmary gains another six hundred points since there are two more fairy and fiend monsters in my grave!” Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary then goes from 3800/3000 to 4400/3000 due to her ability.

 

Sailor Moon says, as a card comes out of her deck, “I will be thanks to my Arc Pendulum Dragon’s Pendulum ability! When an Odd-Eyes monster on my field is destroyed, I can summon another Odd-Eyes from my hand, deck, or graveyard! Give me a hand, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!” Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) then returns to the field in defense mode.

 

Thorn says, “Well, it is time to make that dragon go away!” Nightmary fires a powerful wail that vaporizes Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, but since it was in defense mode, Sailor Moon doesn’t lose any life-points in which Thorn says, with a smile, “You are off the hook since both Kraken and Leo used their abilities! That makes them unable to perform direct attacks this turn!” Thorn says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I place this card face-down and call it a turn!” On the meanwhile, Nightmary goes back from 4400/3000 back down to 2300/3000 due to her effect ending.

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Moon: 2500

Thorn: 3200

 

Sailor Moon says, drawing a card, “My turn! I draw!” Sailor Moon says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Pot of Greed! Now, I draw two cards!” Sailor Moon draws two cards, looks at them, and Sailor Moon says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “First, I activate my Re-Fusion equip spell! With this, by dropping eight hundred life-points, I can revive one Fusion Monster from my grave and equip them with this card!” Just then Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (4500/3800) appears on the field as Sailor Moon’s life-points drop by eight hundred points!

 

Thorn says, with a smile, “Won’t be enough to stop me!”

 

Sailor Moon says, putting the last card in her hand into the main slot of her disk, “But this will! I activate my Megamorph equip spell! Since my life-points are less than yours, my Ultimate Dragon’s attack points double!” Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon roars out as it goes from 4500/3800 to 9000/3800!

 

Thorn yells out, shocked, “Oh no!”

 

Naruto says, excitedly, “Oh, yeah!”

 

Sakura says, excitedly, “Bring it on home!”

 

Sailor Moon yells out, “Ultimate Dragon, take out Nightmary and end this duel now! Neutron Blast!” Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon unleashes its attack from its three heads that slam into Dangerous Frightfur Nightmary causing the monster to shriek as she is vaporizes in which the massive explosions send Thorn flying backwards where she screams out as she loses 7000 life-points as well as duel.

 

Final Scores:

Sailor Moon: 1700

Thorn: 0

 

With the end of the duel, the final Real Solid Vision ‘images’ vanish and Thorn slams to the ground on her bottom causing her to grunt out in which she moans out, annoyed, “Oh, man! I lost!” She then starts to glow, and she then says, “Guess you can’t win them all!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, concerned, “Hey!”

 

Thorn says, “Don’t worry about it! Once I’m gone, your friends are going to come back!” Thorn then gives lackluster smiles that the others immediately can see and ‘sense’ the sadness as Thorn waves good-bye as she is engulfed in a giant flash of light that’s so bright that the others close their eyes and yelp as they are engulfed by the light.

 

November 6, 2025, Unknown realm

 

Back with the rest of our heroes and heroines, they, allied with Scorpion, are still in a stalemate against the revenant Lui Kang, Kitana, and the other revenant warriors with the numerous hordes of NetherRealm fiends, through their numbers are much significantly diminished, but then a massive light starts to swallow all of them.

 

Lui Kang shouts out, “What kind of trick is this?!”

 

Davis yells out, “You are asking me?!” Everyone then yells out as they are engulfed by the light forcing them to cover their eyes.

 

November 6, 2025, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

Back in Akihabara, as quickly as the light appeared, the light fades away and when Sailor Moon, Sailor Celestial, Tuxedo Mask, Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata can look, they find their friends/family/allies, human and Digimon, right in front of them as they start to look around with confused.

 

Sailor Moon says, surprised, “Everyone!” When the others that were fighting against the revenant Mortal Kombat warriors look towards Sailor Moon, they give looks of surprise.

 

Sailor Star says, “Sere-I mean, Moon-chan!”

 

Sailor Mars asks, annoyed, “Where were you?”

 

Naruto says, pointing all around the area, “Take a look.” The others that have just arrived look around to see much of the chaos and destruction around Akihabara causing them to gasp in shock.

 

Yolei asks, stunned, “What happened here?”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, “It is a long story. And we believe it involved what happened to you.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “Is everyone okay?”

 

Kotone says, with a nod, “We are.”

 

Sailor Venus says, with a sigh and collapsing to the ground, “Speak for yourself, Kotone!”

 

Sailor Saturn says, with a smile, “Well, we are alive and we’re just fine.”

 

Just then a familiar male voice shouts out, “Hey, boss!” Everyone looks to see Sailor Celestial’s two Digimon partners in their Mega forms, ShineGreymon Burst Mode and Dianamon, float down in front of them.

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “How did it go?”

 

Dianamon says, “The people got to safety and there are no serious injuries even.”

 

Sakura says, “That’s good to know.”

 

Tai says, “Something tells me that you know what happened to us since something happened around here at the same time.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Yes, but like Sailor Galaxy said. It is quite a tale. We’ll explain as we help clean up this place.”

 

Sailor Galaxy says, looking around, “It seems like Ryu-sama, Kasumi-sama, and Ayame-sama just left.”

 

Sakura says, “Most likely to report what happened back to their clans.”

 

Naruto asks, with a plain tone, “That leads to the question: What the heck did happen?”

 

Tuxedo Mask thinks in his mind, “That’s a good question, Naruto. And the answer may not be as clear cut or easy of an answer.” As our heroes and heroines regroup, they don’t seem to notice that they are being watched by other shinobi as well as a young woman covered in white veils, who is looking intently at Davis and Sailor Sun.

 

Unknown time, Mortal Kombat universe, Earth Realm

 

Within what is known as the home universe of Mortal Kombat, we find Scorpion, returned to his ‘human form’ of Hanzo Hasashi, walking around the headquarters/home of his Shirai Ryu clan.

 

One member of the clan says, “Master Hanzo, we were worried…!!”

 

Scorpion/Hanzo responds, in his human voice, “Be at ease. As you can see, I am well.” Hanzo then says, “But there is much to do.”

 

The clan member asks, “Master Hanzo?”

 

Hanzo says, “Prepare a messenger. I need to talk with Lord Raiden or Lord Fujin immediately.”

 

The clan member responds, “Yes, grandmaster.” The clan member ‘vanishes’ in classic shinobi fashion, leaving Hanzo to his thoughts as he thinks of Davis as well as what he heard from our heroes and heroines.

 

Hanzo thinks in his mind, “Raiden’s aura has grown dark. I fear that purification of the Jinsei has corrupted him. However, right now, I must learn about this ‘Etherion’. If it is what I heard, then if it falls into the wrong hands, all existence, not just the realms, will be in danger. And then that young man…his power…there is much to think about.”

 

Unknown time, Unknown realm

 

Within an unknown realm, an alternate version of Sammy Tsukino, Sailor Moon’s/Serena’s younger Earth brother, is sitting crossed legged and he is floating in mid-air through a familiar power known as the Force. This version of Sammy Tsukino, after being betrayed his elder sister and her friends, the Sailor Scouts, due to a ‘dark vision’ that Sailor Pluto had about him destroying the future, he was sent into what was known as the Star Wars universe where he became the famous/infamous Jedi/Sith known as Revan and, in a self-fulling prophecy, when he became a Sith Lord, he returned to his home planet to bring about that destruction. Right now, this version of Sammy, who will be called Raven, is using his Force ‘foresight’ to see the events of what just happened with our heroes and heroines and when he is done, he opens his eyes and lands on the ground in which he gets to his feet.

 

Raven thinks in his mind, “Something is wrong. Someone is manipulating things and possibly manipulating them through their various past lives. Davis Motomiya, the one of the two ‘central timelines of SAO’, what we are calling them, isn’t known as the ‘Star Dragon King’ for nothing, but he and his girlfriend have just as much ‘dark’ as well as ‘light’. And someone seems to know this. Someone that even I can’t see. I don’t like it.”

 

Just then a male voice says, “He’s here.” Raven turns to see another version of himself, dressed like the Tenth Doctor of Doctor WHO, walking up with a third version of Sammy Tsukino, but he is dressed like Johnny Cage of Mortal Kombat.

 

This third Sammy Tsukino, the one with similar ‘style’ to said movie star fighter from the Mortal Kombat universe, says, “You are the version of me that’s bringing us together.”

 

Raven says, with a nod, “Right. And you are a version of me that’s the reincarnation of Johnny Cage. The one that comes from what we know as the ‘Midway Timeline’.”

 

This Sammy Tsukino responds, “You got it. Pretty shocked when I got my memories of my past self.”

 

Raven asks, “So, who is the reincarnation of Lui Kang and Kitana?”

 

This Sammy Tsukino, who we will call Sammy for simplification sake, responds, pulling down his glasses, “Bro, if you are who I think you are, you already know that answer.”

 

Raven replies, with a nod, “I know. I just thought that I make sure. I also know that you belong to an ‘SAO timeline’.”

 

Sammy says, “Don’t remind me. Personally, it makes me wonder if my uncle isn’t a reincarnation of Shao Khan.”

 

Raven tells Sammy, “Right now, I think that you are thanking whatever deities that you worship that he isn’t.”

 

Sammy says, “No joke. Sis is already still getting over the fact that Kayaba is the guy that was supposed to hers and Suguha’s dad back when they were Moon Princesses in which the three of them with Kirito share A LOT of history together.”

 

Raven says, “Plenty of it may not be good history.”

 

Sammy says, plainly, “No damn kidding.”

 

Raven tells Sammy, “Your Celestial is the ‘center of attention’.”

 

Sammy says, “Good guess, but then again, you aren’t guessing.”

 

Raven says, “Indeed.” Raven then hands Sammy a tablet and Sammy looks at his counterpart in which he takes the tablet causing his eyes to widen in which Raven asks, plainly, “Are you in?”

 

Sammy retorts, “Dude, is that even a question?”

 

Raven tells Sammy, “I need for you to keep a close eye on your sister and your Meatball Head’s ‘royal sibling’.”

 

Sammy asks, “They are becoming a ‘hot item’?”

 

Raven says, with a plain tone, “One way of putting it.” Raven looks in one direction and when Sammy does so, he sees holographic projections of Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Valkyrie Sailor Celestial, Kazuto, and none other than infamous castle that was the virtual location of SAO itself: Aincrad.

 

Unknown time, Unknown realm

 

In a second unknown realm, someone else is looking a hologram of said ‘death castle’ where we see that this figure has violet-blue eyes and dark grey crescent moon sigil on their forehead in which their eyes narrow at the sight of Aincrad itself.

 

The End…for now

 

This special one-shot was quite interesting and it was inspired by Memory Defrag, but I thought of my own original story based on that inspiration and my excitement over Mortal Kombat 11 that’s going to come out in April. How is going to be linked to ‘Hollow Fragment timeline’? Who is Thorn? Well, you know that I’m not going to give spoilers away. You are going to have to read to find out! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
