Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online II: SAO Shippuden ❯ Arc II, Chapter 8: Remnants of Revenge ( Chapter 16 )

The action is ever growing as we get closer to the conclusion of this story arc and you must be asking on how they tapped Sailor Celestial with Sailor Moon. Well, remember, all those of Lunarian royal heritage are linked to the Silver Crystal, right? Well, in this story series, Sailor Celestial and Kazuto are Lunarian royalty after all. But why did Future Suguha collapse and Kazuto didn’t? In this story series, Suguha and Serena are the direct daughters of Queen Serenity and Kazuto is their cousin. While Lunarian royalty and have a ‘connection’ with the Silver Crystal, his connection isn’t as deep as his step-sisters’ connection to it. Now, before I begin, I would like to give thanks and credit to Belletiger and Kanius and Kanius’ YuYuGiDigiMoon series, especially this author’s The Invasion of the Rajita story, for giving me permission to use the idea of Valkyrie Sailor Soldiers and everything that’s a part of them. I would also like to give thanks and credit to Matty G91 and this author’s story of Kamen Rider Lunar for giving me permission to use Kamen Rider Lunar, his looks, and everything about him.

AD 2047, Unknown location

 

At an unknown location, Kyrila and her associates, all of whom have their features still shrouded, are looking at a crystal filled with a familiar energy that Sailor Celestial once shown to her family, friends, and allies.

 

The leader of the group says, “Beautiful, isn’t it? It is a treasure that will give us the world that we deserve.”

 

Kyrila says, with a nod, “Yes, sir.”

 

Another of the group asks, “But what about Sailor Moon?”

 

The leader responds, “Thanks to our countermeasures, she can’t escape the Accelerated World so easily.”

 

Kyrila says, “However, I doubt that Sailor Moon’s allies and family wouldn’t take that into account, sir.”

 

The leader retorts, “True. Too true.”

 

Kyrila asks, “So, what shall we do?”

 

The leader responds, with a sly tone, “Do not worry, Kyrila. I have seen that possibility and I have agents already hunting her down. She will not escape the Accelerated World…alive.”

 

Kyrila responds, “She is the only one that can stop us since our use of her has left her sister get quite in a ‘vulnerable’ position.”

 

The leader replies, with a nod, “And that means there is no one to stop us now. The future is us and we shall finally take it.” As the leader of the group, including Kyrila, look at the crystal filled with the ‘power’ from Sailor Celestial, we can see wicked smiles on their lips as their sinister plan seems to about to bare ‘fruit’.

 

Sailor Moon Online II: SAO Shippuden

 

(Sword Art Online II music ‘Courage’ starts)

 

As we start, we see dozens upon dozens of swords and various other blades in which we can see in the reflect surfaces, the eyes of Serena, Kazuto, and Asuna are seen.

 

Then Kirito, Asuna, Yui, in her human form, Usagi, Leafa, Sinon, Klein, Lisbeth, Silica with Pina on her shoulder are then seen with Kirito, Asuna, Usagi, Klein, Lisbeth, and Silica are in their SAO avatars with Leafa in her ALO avatar and Sinon in her GGO avatar.

 

Usagi then looks to see Rini and she transforms into Sailor Neo Moon in which she leads Usagi who transforms into Eternal Sailor Moon and then Valkyrie Sailor Moon into a portal emerging in the Tokyo of 2047 AD.

 

Valkyrie Sailor Moon then looks to see the ‘accelerated world’ of Brain Burst and ‘dives in’ where she and Rini transform into their Brain Burst Duel Avatars in which they look over the accelerated world from a skyscraper roof within the BB world.

 

There is an image of Serena surrounded by her SAO avatar of Usagi and Sailor Senshi form of Valkyrie Sailor Moon with various scenes of locations in SAO surrounding her while Rini ‘shadowed’ by her Sailor Senshi self as Sailor Neo Moon and as her ‘dark self’, Wicked Lady, is surrounded by scenes of Crystal Tokyo during the battle with the Negamoon as well as scenes of her battles against the Heart Snatchers and Dead Moon Circus.

 

They are joined by Kuroyukihime, Haruyuki, Chiyuri, and Takumu, who are ‘flanked’ by their Brain Burst Duel Avatars of Black Lotus, Silver Crow, Lime Bell, and Cyan Pile, are surrounded by scenes of their battles and ‘trails’ in the Brain Burst world.

 

The next scenes show Serena, Rini, Kuroyukihime, Haruyuki, Chiyuri, and Takumu together in the real world and then they are in their Brain Burst Duel Avatars.

 

A mysterious young woman with short violet hair and wearing violet glasses in front of her eyes gives a sly smile and shows something in which a gateway to the brand new section of the Digital World is revealed and hundreds to thousands of Digimon bursting into the real, virtual, and Brain Burst worlds with Brain Linkers and other ‘cyber warriors’ with brand Digivices ‘teaming up’ with these Digimon.

 

With the next scene, Black Lotus, Silver Crow, Lime Bell, and Cyan Pile are joined by Serena and Rini in their own Brain Burst avatars along with the members of the Red Legion and few other members Nega Nebulus partner with many Digimon leading them against other Burst Linkers and other ‘cyber warriors’ in an all-out battle in the Brain Burst and ‘cyber worlds’ causing shockwave that are felt in the ‘real world’ as well as the Digital World. Then we see Sailor Moon, with a brand new Duel Disk, flanked by Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500), Dark Magician (2500/2100), and Ancient Fairy Dragon (2100/3000) dueling against a ‘mysterious shadow’.

 

The next scenes show Nega Nebulus and the Red Legion somewhere within a mysterious region that flanks the Digital World and the Brain Burst one in which a gateway opens in which Serena, in her Brain Burst Duel Avatar, steps through with the scenes changing to the Moon Kingdom, locations in SAO, then locations in ALO, and finally, the Brain Burst world.

 

The final scenes show Sailor Moon’s battles with the Negaverse, Negamoon/Doom Phantom, Heart Snatchers, Dead Moon Circus, and Shadow Galactica, then her battles, as Usagi of SAO, with Kirito and Asuna from inside of SAO, and finally, the final battle with Kirito, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Celestial against Kayaba/Heathcliff within Sword Art World. It then shows Serena and Rini flanked by the Sailor Scouts, Digidestined, and SAO survivors on the left with the Brain Linkers of Nega Nebulus on their right where the last part is Elucidator and Dark Repulser swords on the ground with a Neuro-Linker around the hilt of one and a digivice hanging off the hilt of another.

Arc II, Chapter 8: Remnants of Revenge

 

AD 2047, Accelerated World

 

Joining our group from Nega Nebulus along with Silver Valkyrie and Cheery Cheetah as well as Silver Valkyrie’s future self, the Valkyrie Sailor Moon of 2047 AD AKA Future Sailor Moon, they are hiding out within a building within the area of the Accelerated World known as the Unlimited Neural Field as they prepare to make a venture into an area where Future Sailor Moon can return to the ‘physical plane’.

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “I hope that they are okay out there.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “Don’t worry, Serena. They are really clever felines. I should know.” Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “I hope that those two, their counterparts, are okay. They must be worried sick.” Future Sailor Moon smiles and says, “Through I doubt BlackGatomon will admit it.”

 

Black Lotus asks, “Sailor Moon, you believe that the remnants of the Enhanced that survived the war are responsible for this.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “Yeah…”

 

Lime Bell says, “They are just sore losers that you stopped them from conquering the world.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a solemn tone, “It is kind of more than that, Lime Bell-san.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, curiously, “What do you mean?”

 

Future Sailor Moon sighs and says, solemnly, “At the end of the war when we defeated the last of the ‘Dictators’, the top leadership of the Enhanced, the people that were conquered and oppressed by them went on a rampage. The United Nations wanted to take them in as war criminals, but plenty of people thought differently.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, stunned, “Don’t tell me…?”

 

Future Sailor Moon nods and she says, with a solemn sigh, “They went on a spree of revenge and retribution with the surviving Enhanced and those known to have created them, members of MIST, in which all and any facilities that involved genetic manipulation were destroyed. While the knowledge was saved, the United Nation came together and created a resolution that banned genetic enhancement and experiment unless it involved scientific research and most of all, medical improvement, which they included expanding the human life-span and getting rid of diseases like cancer and AIDS for example.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “You have to admit that’s understandable.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “I agreed to that too. However, the widespread retribution was something that I didn’t agree with and I made my views clear on that. Yes, the Enhanced were guilty of crimes against humanity and such, but if we went down to their level, how can we be any better? Support from fellow SAO survivors helped in that regard and my ‘fan base’ was also a great help. However, the revelation of my identity caused…problems.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “I heard.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “Raye is the only one living where she used to live since she is too proud, stubborn, tough, or a combination of all three to get ‘moved’ by them and anyone attacking her home got that lesson the hard way.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, with a nod, “I’ll bet.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “Amara and Pyro warned about doing stuff like that. They said that has happened before in history and it has led to a repeat of mistakes or problems for the next generation.”

 

Black Lotus says, “Wise words.”

 

Silver Valkyrie tells her future counterpart, “I have so many questions.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “I know that you do Serena. However, right now, we have work to do.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “No kidding. The reason that they kidnapped you was to get Auntie Suguha.”

 

Silver Crow asks, “How could they get access to Sailor Celestial’s power through you?”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “There are many factors, but the first ‘main one’ is that.” Cherry Cheetah points to Future Sailor Moon’s broach and she says, “The Imperium Silver Crystal. All members of the Lunarian royal family by blood are connected to it with some more deeply than others. Even through the source of Auntie Suguha’s powers isn’t the crystal, she is still connected to it because she is Lunarian royalty by blood literally.”

 

Silver Valkyrie gasps and she says, “You’re right! I had forgotten that because I use the Silver Crystal and not Suguha.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, nodding her head, “That’s right. Even though I use the Silver Crystal at the core of my powers as Sailor Senshi, Suguha is still connected to the crystal and so is Kazuto since both of them are Lunarian royalty by royal blood. There are other factors between Suguha’s and my ‘connection’, but Silver Crystal is one of them. They captured me for the crystal to get to that ‘link’ with Suguha. The crystal was there goal and getting me was a bonus since it made the ‘link’ even stronger.”

 

Silver Crow asks, “What do you think that they want with Sailor Celestial’s power?”

 

Cyan Pile says, “It isn’t good, Haruyuki. Remember what that power is all about? They could do anything and could possibility wreck the fabric of universe if not reality.”

 

Silver Crow says, “I know, but this…”

 

Black Lotus responds, interrupting Silver Crow, “…Is beyond us? You do have a point. Not even Burst Linkers go through this. This kind of job is usually for people like Sailor Moon and her fellow Sailor Scouts as well as the Digidestined.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “That’s true, Master.”

 

Black Lotus says, “However, with Yellow Legion and the Accelerated World as well as the fact that our world is under threat, this makes it as much our battle as theirs.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “I figured that you would say that.”

 

Lime Bell says, “And what we are doing is important! We are helping Sailor Moon get back to reality in order to stop the bad guys!”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “They don’t want Meatball Head, this time’s Meatball Head, coming back for good reasons. I’m sure that they are going to do what they can to make sure that she doesn’t return.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, sarcastically, “No duh, squirt.”

 

Cherry Cheetah glares at Future Sailor Moon and Silver Valkyrie asks, “Um…?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “I know what you want to ask and trust me, I’ve tried it, but they made sure the area that they were ‘born’ in and any information to that was destroyed especially during the war. MIST kept themselves very well hidden and believe me, you are going to look for a long time to prevent that part of this timeline from happening. All you end up with is a major migraine.” Future Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “You know that I can’t tell you much about the future, but all you can do is trust yourself. Trust yourself, your family, your friends, and all that you love. It is the best thing that you can do.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, with a sigh, “I always do, but…”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “I know. You just came back from investigating GGO, didn’t you? That brings back old memories…bad ones.” Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “Even after all this time, I still don’t completely understand.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, curiously, “Have you…?”

 

Future Sailor Moon responds, shaking her head, “No, I haven’t. And trust me, I still have plenty that I can’t forgive him for beyond SAO. You already know what I’m talking about.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, nodding her head, “I do.”

 

Lime Bell asks, a bit meekly and concerned, “Are you okay Sailor Moon?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “I’m fine, Bell-san. The whole experience is…Well…I know exactly how a veteran of World War Two and similar wars feel like.”

 

Black Lotus says, “Understandable. Since what you went through wasn’t a game, it was a ‘battle for survival’ like those that fought in the wars past. But then again, you are also a war veteran yourself.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “Please don’t. To be honest, I’ve had it up to here being called one of the ‘heroes and heroines of the war’.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, curiously, “Do you still wish to be just a ‘regular girl’?”

 

Future Sailor Moon asks Silver Valkyrie, “Do you?”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, nervously, “Now I really sound silly.”

 

Cherry Cheetah retorts, “No kidding, Meatball Head.” Silver Valkyrie and Future Sailor Moon glare at Cherry Cheetah until everyone hears footsteps causing them to look to see BlackGatomon and Gatomon come into the room.

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, “How does it look?”

 

Gatomon responds, “We found a path.”

 

Black Lotus asks, “Any ‘problems’?”

 

BlackGatomon says, “Nothing that we couldn’t handle.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “Lead the way.”

 

Gatomon says, with a nod, “Right.” Our group immediately takes to their feet and starts to head out with Future Sailor Moon taking a deep breath as they head out.

 

Silver Crow asks, “Are you okay?”

 

Future Sailor Moon responds, “I’m quite drained. Even with my ‘past self’ boosting me, I’m not completely back up to snuff.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “It isn’t surprising since you are stronger than the current Meatball Head. You have two decades’ worth of experience.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, in a sarcastic tone, “Lucky me.”

 

Silver Valkyrie thinks in her mind, “What did she…I…Man! This time travel stuff is so confusing! It makes me wonder what I’m going to experience!”

 

Black Lotus asks Future Sailor Moon, “Can you transform into your ‘higher forms’?”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, confused, “Higher forms?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, shaking her head, “No, Lotus-san. I’m still too drained for that.” Future Sailor Moon then tells Silver Valkyrie, “Do you really think your ‘current form’ is the only level of a Valkyrie Sailor Scout? You haven’t even begun to tap into the true depths of the Valkyrie Sailor Scout power.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, amazed, “Really?”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “Spoiler alert.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “I know, but this is me, squirt.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, annoyed, “Yeah, I know.” Our group continues to head out to the location in this area of the Accelerated World where Future Sailor Moon can return to the ‘real world’.

 

AD 2047, Moon Kingdom

 

Within the Moon Kingdom, Future Kazuto, Future Asuna, Future Yui, and Future Suguha are assembled together as they prepare what looks like high-tech equipment including pods that look similar to the virtualization pods that our heroes and heroines used to infiltrate Sword Art World to help and save Davis, Kari, and Suguha when they were trapped in that world for a few months.

 

Future Asuna asks, “Are you sure that this will work?”

 

Future Kazuto says, with a nod, “I’m sure, Asuna. We worked it out.”

 

Future Suguha says, “I can’t believe that they used Serena and the Silver Crystal to get to me.”

 

Future Kazuto says, “We can’t blame ourselves, Sugu. We didn’t think that they would use a roundabout way to get to your power and also, Serena has become a powerful Sailor Soldier in her own right. We never thought that they could capture her much less you.”

 

Future Suguha says, with a snort, “Yeah, I know. I should have remembered that I have a ‘deep connection’ with sis more than that the fact that we are siblings and the fact that despite I use ‘something else’ as the source of my powers, I’m still a Lunarian princess and thus, I’m connected to the Silver Crystal as much as you and Serena are.”

 

Future Kazuto says, “Right now, we have to focus on the here and now, Sugu.”

 

Future Suguha says, with a smile, “Right.”

 

Future Asuna asks, “But Kirito-kun, if it was them, they could be using Suguha-chan’s power as we speak.”

 

Future Kazuto says, shaking his head, “I don’t think so, Asuna. Only Suguha and ‘one other’ can contain and harness the power of Etherion within themselves.”

 

Future Suguha tells Future Kazuto, with a sigh, “You are kind of still sore at ‘him’, huh?”

 

Future Kazuto responds, “I’m a big brother. What did you expect Sugu?”

 

Future Suguha says, “Seriously, big brother. It has been around two decades since then.”

 

Future Kazuto says, with a smirk, “Like I said, Sugu, I’m a big brother after all. Personally, I’m surprised that mom and dad don’t still have kittens.”

 

Future Suguha says, “I’m not that ‘little girl’ that you remembered by before you know what.”

 

Future Kazuto says, with a grin, “Sugu, it can be one thousand years into Crystal Tokyo and you are still going to be that ‘little girl’ that I knew before SAO.”

 

Future Suguha says, with her arms crossed, “Thanks a lot, Kazuto.”

 

Just then a male voice calls out, “Is this a private party or can another family member join in?” Everyone then looks to see what looks like a young adult version of Sammy Tsukino wearing a black jacket over a white shirt with blue jeans that has a matching brown belt as well as black sneakers come into the room.

 

Future Yui says, excitedly, “Uncle Sammy!”

 

The young adult version of Sammy tells Future Yui, with a smirk, “Hey, kiddo.”

 

Future Yui says, annoyed, “Uncle Sammy, I’m not a little girl anymore.”

 

The young adult version of Sammy, Future Sammy Tsukino, says, with a grin, “You are still going to be the cute little girl that can turn into a fairy in ALO.”

 

Future Yui gives a pout and Future Kazuto says, “I’m glad that you are here.”

 

Future Sammy says, with a smirk, “Not surprising that Meatball Head would get into trouble.”

 

Future Suguha tells Future Sammy, “After all these years, Sammy…”

 

Future Sammy says, with a smile, “Meatball Head is still Meatball Head, Suguha. To be honest, I still remember her that way. And despite all of her ‘changes’ since ‘that day’ one-quarter of a century ago, she is still that person deep down.”

 

Future Kazuto says, with a smile, “You have a good point, Sammy.”

 

Future Asuna asks, “Do you have anything?”

 

Future Sammy says, “So far, nothing exact, but there are plenty of clues. They think that they are so smart that they can leave false leads and stuff, but what they don’t know is that their false leads have clues that lead us to them. And we have plenty of help on our side to outwit them.”

 

Future Kazuto says, “Well, you aren’t too bad yourself.”

 

Future Sammy says, with a smirk, “Sis isn’t the only one ‘gaining strength’ especially with what happened after her ‘past self’ manages to go back home.”

 

Future Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah, don’t we know it.”

 

Future Kazuto says, “It was quite a surprise.”

 

Future Sammy says, “Meatball Head isn’t the only one that’s a Signer after all…But then again, everything that happened with me was quite a shock. I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible.”

 

Future Kazuto says, with a smile, “And then some.”

 

Future Asuna says, “We are losing focus Kirito-kun.”

 

Future Suguha says, “Our main focus is getting sis home.”

 

Future Kazuto says, with a smile, “Right, sorry.”

 

As the group continues on their work, Future Sammy thinks in his mind, “You had better get home soon, Meatball Head.”

 

AD 2047, Accelerated World

 

Returning to the Accelerated World, Black Lotus, Silver Crow, Lime Bell, Cyan Pile, Cherry Cheetah, Silver Valkyrie, and Future Sailor Moon are going through the ruined city area of the Unlimited Neural Field with Future Sailor Moon taking a deep breath.

 

Lime Bell asks, “Are you okay Sailor Moon?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “Yes, Bell-san. I’m just really drained.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “That isn’t real surprising.”

 

BlackGatomon and Gatomon then appear and Silver Valkyrie asks, “What’s up?”

 

BlackGatomon retorts, “What do you think?”

 

Gatomon says, “Trouble.”

 

Silver Crow says, “I don’t like the sound of that.”

 

BlackGatomon says, “You shouldn’t.”

 

Gatomon says, “Let’s get into cover first.” However, both Silver Valkyrie and Future Sailor Moon ‘sense’ trouble.

 

They shout out in unison, as they tackle everyone else down, “Get down!” Just then nearby area explodes from some kind of explosion.

 

Black Lotus says, with a serious tone, “Take cover now!” The group immediately leaps to their feet and start to run as fast as they can.

 

Silver Crow asks, “What was that?”

 

Cyan Pile asks Black Lotus, “Master, do you think…?”

 

Black Lotus says, “It can be no other Cyan.”

 

Lime Bell asks, confused, “Huh?”

 

Silver Valkyrie and Future Sailor Moon ‘sense’ something and Future Sailor Moon says, “Dodge now!” The group immediately leaps to their left as another explosion rips a hole into the side of a building and opening a massive hole in the wall.

 

Silver Crow says, shocked, “Whoa!”

 

Black Lotus says, seriously, “Inside now!” The group then leaps through the hole into the building and Black Lotus leads down into a basement area. Black Lotus tells Cyan Pile, “Cover the door.”

 

Cyan Pile says, with a nod, “Got it!”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “That kind of sharpshooting looked familiar.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “Something tells me that you met before and I’m going to meet this ‘person’ one day.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “Like a real pain in the neck.”

 

Silver Crow asks Black Lotus, “What’s going on?”

 

Black Lotus says, “It looks like we are now the targets of the most infamous mercenary of the Accelerated World.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “He is beyond dangerous, Haruyuki.”

 

Lime Bell asks, a bit nervously, “He is?”

 

Black Lotus says, with a nod, “He has been here since the first Burst Linkers or that’s what they say. All I do know is that he was here long before I was.”

 

Silver Crow says, “Whoa! That means that he is experienced!”

 

Cyan Pile says, “That’s putting it lightly Haruyuki. He is a well-trained veteran beyond veteran.”

 

Lime Bell says, stunned, “Wow.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “That’s one way of saying it, Bell-san. Let’s just say that if you knew some of the things that he has done…You wouldn’t be impressed.”

 

Silver Crow asks, “Who is he?”

 

Cyan Pile responds, “His name is ‘Prism Fang’.”

 

Cherry Cheetah asks, “Prism Fang?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “It is like he said squirt.”

 

Cherry Cheetah asks, “Would you stop calling me that?”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, with a grin, “I guess that some things never change.” Cherry Cheetah glares at Silver Valkyrie and Future Sailor Moon in which she ‘huffs’ in annoyance.

 

Gatomon says, “This is a really strange family.”

 

BlackGatomon says, “No joke.”

 

Silver Crow asks Black Lotus, “What do you know about this ‘Prism Fang’?”

 

Black Lotus says, “His very name does suggest that he is different from other Burst Linkers. As you know, our avatar names suggest our color and a good portion of our ‘nature’. Like in the case of Silver Crow, he is one of the rare fliers and Lime Bell’s abilities are activated in the way that you would expect.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “And as you can see, my name tells something about me as a Burst Linker in the form of my main weapon. However, Prism Fang is different. As you know, a prism takes white light and turns it into all of the colors of the rainbow.”

 

Black Lotus says, with a nod, “You are well informed.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “As you know, Master, information is vital in the Accelerated World.”

 

Black Lotus says, with a nod, “Indeed.” Black Lotus tells Silver Crow, “Prism Fang has the ability to take on the other ‘colors’ of Burst Linkers and gain some of their ‘natures’ like how green colors like Lime Bell have higher defense than others for example. However, Prism Fang can’t have the ‘natures’ on the level of the ‘colors’ of the Burst Linkers. Prism Fang’s defense is stronger than most Burst Linkers, but nowhere near the level of a Burst Linkers that’s ‘green’.”

 

Silver Crow says, “However, this makes very ‘versatile’.”

 

Black Lotus says, with a nod, “Correct, Crow-kun. He can also assume the forms of any other Burst Linkers and cloak himself as well.”

 

Silver Crow says, shocked, “What? Really? That’s…!!”

 

Cyan Pile says, “However, he can’t gain the abilities of other Burst Linkers like your ability to fly for example.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “That doesn’t mean that he isn’t deadly.”

 

Black Lotus says, “Indeed.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “Prism Fang is a deadly sniper. He could rival Sailor Orion in ability.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, surprised, “Really?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “And trust me, she has gotten better over the years. It is why she is known as the best huntress in the galaxy.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, with a nod of her head in agreement, “That’s a fact.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “And that means that this guy is bad news.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “Big time.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, “If he can cloak himself…?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “Don’t worry, he won’t be able to get us so easily. His cloak works to bend light to make himself invisible to us, but it does have a flaw.”

 

Black Lotus says, with a smile, “It needs light to bend to work.”

 

Lime Bell says, seeing the lack of light in the room, “And it is pretty dark in here.”

 

Black Lotus says, “Exactly. He needs plenty of light in order to bend it to make himself invisible.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “However, he isn’t stupid. He didn’t last so long in the Accelerated World by being that way. He will wait us out.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “And time is a luxury that we don’t have.”

Cherry Cheetah says, plainly, “No joke.”

 

Black Lotus says, “That just means that we have to outmaneuver him.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “Master, I don’t want to insult you…”

 

Black Lotus says, with a nod of understanding, “I understand. Prism Fang is very smart and even the Seven Kings have a hard time with him in which they can only battle him together.”

 

Silver Crow asks, “He is that strong?”

 

Cyan Pile says, “Yes. He has been here since the first Burst Linkers, Haruyuki.”

 

Black Lotus says, “And that means that we have to be very careful with him, Haruyuki-kun.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, “So, how do we outwit him?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “By doing something that he doesn’t expect.”

 

Lime Bell asks, curiously, “What do you mean?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a smirk, “I have a few tricks.” Future Sailor Moon then closes her eyes and holds out her right arm causing her to glow in which the others are amazed in which then a tunnel appears in one section of the area that they are in.

 

Lime Bell says, shocked, “Incredible!”

 

Cyan Pile says, stunned, “I can’t believe it!”

 

BlackGatomon says, shocked, “No way.”

 

Gatomon says, amazed, “Way, sis.”

 

When Future Sailor Moon stops glowing, she takes a deep breath and she responds, with a smile, “The Accelerated World is ‘another realm’ just like the virtual world and people tend to make the mistake that they ‘feel’ that VR is ‘fake’. Remember, ‘VR’ stands for ‘virtual REALITY’ and that means that it just another form of reality with its own set of rules.” Future Sailor Moon tells Silver Valkyrie, “You’re going to be surprised hearing this from me, but you’ll learn Serena.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “Trust me. I’m surprised.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “I’ve got a lot of questions for mom when I get home to Crystal Tokyo.”

 

Lime Bell asks, confused, “Crystal Tokyo?”

 

Cherry Cheetah responds, with a slight nervous tone, “Nothing for you needing to be worried about.”

 

Silver Crow tells Future Sailor Moon, “You are amazing Sailor Moon.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “It is nothing…” Future Sailor Moon stumbles backwards a bit and Cherry Cheetah catches her before she could fall down.

 

Cherry Cheetah says, with a sigh, “You strained yourself didn’t you? You really are a pain, Meatball Head.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, weakly, “Like I haven’t heard…that before…”

 

Black Lotus says, “We had better get going and get some distance away before Prism Fang suspects anything.”

 

Silver Crow says, with a nod, “Good idea.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “Bell-san, you had better help me with her.”

 

Lime Bell says, “Okay.” With Cherry Cheetah and Lime Bell supporting her, our group heads into the passageway and when they are inside, the passageway entrance fades away. A short time soon after, our group emerges from the side of a building in which they look out.

 

Silver Crow says, “I don’t see anyone.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “With Prism Fang, I doubt that you will. While his cloak needs light to work, it is an excellent cloak and that means that other signs that you could use are negated.”

 

Silver Crow asks, surprised, “You mean like sound?”

 

Black Lotus says, “Yes, Haruyuki-kun. He is like a shinobi.”

 

Lime Bell asks, “Then how did Sailor Moon and her past self detect him?”

 

Future Sailor Moon and Silver Valkyrie look at each other and Silver Valkyrie responds, “Bloodlust.”

 

Cyan Pile asks, surprised, “Wait! You sense his intent to kill or something like that?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “Yeah…”

 

Black Lotus says, “A SAO developed skill.”

 

Silver Valkyrie looks at Black Lotus in surprise and Silver Crow says, “Oh, I see.”

 

Black Lotus says, “However, that kind of skill can prove quite useful as you just saw.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “But getting it is something that you don’t want to experience.”

 

Future Sailor Moon and Silver Valkyrie think at the same time, “No kidding, pal.”

 

BlackGatomon says, “With all of this talking, he is bound to heard us by now.”

 

The others winch and Gatomon thinks in her mind, “Up to the point as usual sis.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “BlackGatomon has a point. Let’s get going.” The group starts to move along and it seems like nothing is wrong, but Black Lotus, Silver Valkyrie, and Future Sailor Moon are quite cautious.

 

After a short time, Cheery Cheetah says, “It is too quiet around here.”

 

Lime Bell asks, “What do you mean?”

 

Black Lotus says, “I believe that Cheetah-san has a good point. This place seems to be a bit too clear.”

 

Lime Bell asks, “Isn’t that a good thing?”

 

Cyan Pile says, “No, it isn’t. Master is right. This is the Unlimited Neural Field. There has to be at least one creature lurking about. I don’t like this.” Cyan Pile looks at Silver Valkyrie and Future Sailor Moon and both of them are glancing around in which Cyan Pile says, “We need to be careful.”

 

Silver Crow asks, curiously, “Why?”

 

Cyan Pile says, “There is someone here.” Cyan Pile makes a motion of his head towards Silver Valkyrie and Future Sailor Moon and the others see them glancing around.

 

Cherry Cheetah says, seriously, “He’s right, everyone. Their ‘danger sense’ is on alert big time.” Silver Crow and Lime Bell gasp in which they start to look around.

 

Black Lotus says, with a serious tone, “Don’t panic. If you panic, you are going to fall into his hands.”

 

Cyan Pile asks, “Master, do you think…?”

 

Before Cyan Pile could finish, Silver Valkyrie and Future Sailor Moon yell out in unison, “Get down!” The others gasp as they see an energy attack heading towards them and Future Sailor Moon creates an energy dome that negates the attack, but she grunts out.

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “Geez, Meatball Head! You are already drained! Stop pushing it!”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a weak smile, “You know that I can’t…do that…”

 

Cyan Pile says, with a serious tone, “It’s him!”

 

Silver Crow asks, “What should we do?”

 

Black Lotus says, with a serious tone, “Lime Bell, use your power around the area where the shot came from!”

 

Lime Bell asks, surprised, “Huh?”

 

Cyan Pile says, with a serious tone, “Do it! I know what she is planning!”

 

Lime Bell says, with a nod, “Okay!”

 

Black Lotus tells Cherry Cheetah, “If this works, prepare to attack.”

 

Cherry Cheetah responds, with a nod, “Right!”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, “Right what?”

 

“Citron Call!”

 

Lime Bell unleashes her attack all over the area and just then a humanoid wolf-like Burst Linker Duel Avatar appears with a high-tech futuristic rifle in his hands.

 

The Burst Linker shouts out, stunned, “What?!” But before he could make a move, Cherry Cheetah is on and gives him significant damage, but he then vanishes as quickly as he appeared.

 

Silver Crow says, “I see! You used Lime Bell’s time reverse ability to make him visible!”

 

Cyan Pile says, with a nod, “That’s right, Haruyuki. Like she did to get your wings back, she can ‘reset’ a Burst Linker back to a certain point.”

 

Black Lotus says, “Yes, but it won’t work twice.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “Gather everyone around…”

 

There are surprised looks and Silver Valkyrie asks, “Huh?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “I’ve got…idea…”

 

Cherry Cheetah asks, surprised, “You’ve got an idea?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a glare and annoyed tone, “Yes, squirt…I’ve got an idea…”

 

Silver Crow says, “I don’t think that we have a choice.” Immediately, our group closes rank as Future Sailor Moon puts her hand onto the ground and focuses in which all of the ground outside of the area that they are standing in turns into some kind of mud.

 

Cyan Pile asks, surprised, “Huh? Mud?” Just then everyone hears a loud ‘splat’ from nearby and Black Lotus charges where she slashes in a where a ‘depression’ formed in the ‘mud’ in which she impales the enemy Burst Linkers, said to be Prism Fang, and he vanishes as he shatters to pieces.

 

Silver Crow says, “You got him!”

 

Cyan Pile says, “And he is gone for good, Haruyuki. Master is a level nine and Prism Fang was one of the few Burst Linkers in history to rival the seven Kings.”

 

Silver Crow asks, surprised, “Hold up! I thought that only the Kings like Kuroyukihime-sempai were level nine Burst Linkers.”

 

Black Lotus says, “The only level nines are usually us, Haruyuki-kun, but it doesn’t mean that there aren’t others outside of the Kings. They are just rarely ever seen in the Accelerated World.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “Most likely, they ‘left’ the Accelerated World. And that means that they stopped being Burst Linkers, but they still have Brain Blast program and can still accelerate, however, they choose not to anymore. Also, since Burst Linkers are usually in Tokyo, it is most likely, they have left the cities and possibly even the country.”

 

Black Lotus says, “However, the legend of Prism Fang has ended today.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “I think that it is for the best that no one knows about it, Master.”

 

Silver Crow says, with a nod, “You are already ‘infamous’. If other Burst Linkers knew that you defeated this infamous Burst Linker, even though it was with Sailor Moon’s help…”

 

Black Lotus says, with a sly tone, “Yes, it would get really…bothersome.”

 

Future Sailor Moon is sweating heavily and Cherry Cheetah says, “Man. You are really pushing it.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, wearily, “Yeah…Yeah…I know…”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “To manipulate this digital realm…”

 

Black Lotus tells Silver Valkyrie, “To be honest, I don’t think that it is some kind of ‘special power’.” Black Lotus tells Silver Crow, “Haruyuki-kun, do you remember what you did to get back your wings?”

 

Silver Crow says, “Yes…Hold on! Are you saying that it is like what I did to climb back that tower? But I can’t do anything like that!”

 

Cyan Pile says, “Maybe not yet, Haruyuki. I also believe that any one of us could do what Sailor Moon just did. I think that it is a matter of knowledge and will.”

 

Lime Bell asks, curiously, “You really think so?”

 

Cyan Pile says, looking at Future Sailor Moon, “Yes, but I think that it takes a lot of work. Remember, Sailor Moon has a ton more experience in virtual worlds than we do. Not to bring back bad memories, but she has been fighting in other ‘virtual realms’ before we were born. That might be a part of that ‘ability’.”

 

Silver Valkyrie thinks in her mind, “Could that be it?”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, as the ‘mud’ hardens and the ground returns back to its original condition, “Well, I think that’s a discussion for another time. I need to get this time’s Meatball Head back home.”

 

Black Lotus says, with a nod, “Good idea.” The group then starts to move out with Silver Crow and Cherry Cheetah helping to support a greatly weakened Future Sailor Moon.

 

AD 2047, Unknown location

 

Returning to the unknown location where Kyrila and her associates, including the group’s leader, are, they are assembled together in front of the crystal that contains Sailor Celestial’s Etherion energy is connected into a machine that sends the energy into a pit that turns it into something similar to the Lazarus Pit’s from Batman series.

 

Kyrila says, with a sly tone, “It is so lovely.” Kyrila then walks into the open where we find that she is a lovely young woman with long brown hair, blue eyes, and wearing a female business outfit that shows her strong and lovely female frame.

 

The leader says, “Indeed, Kyrila.” Then the leader comes out into the open to reveal that he is a young looking male with red hair, green eyes, and look akin to Lex Luthor’s clone body.

 

Kyrila says, with a wicked smile, “We will revive our people and pave the way for a new world.”

 

The leader says, “And this time, no one can stop us, my dear.” Just then another associate goes over to the leader and whispers something into his ear.

 

When the associate is done, Kyrila asks, “What is it?”

 

The leader says, with a smirk, “They are more inventive than I thought.”

 

Kyrila asks, confused, “Huh?”

 

The leader tells Kyrila, “Kyrila, it is best that you prepare for some ‘guests’.”

 

Kyrila asks, “Guests? Wait! You don’t mean…?”

 

The leader responds, “We have underestimated them yet again and I don’t want to do that another time.”

 

Kyrila responds, with a nod, “Understood, sir.” As Kyrila races off, the leader looks at the device and ‘pit’ that they are filling up with what looks like a liquid version of Etherion.

 

The leader says, “You won’t be able to stop us this time, your majesty.”

 

AD 2047, Accelerated World

 

Returning to the Accelerated World’s Unlimited Neural Field, we find our group stopped in front of what looks like a massive energy dome.

 

Gatomon says, “Here we are.”

 

Lime Bell asks, curiously, “Is this the place?”

 

BlackGatomon says, “Well, this is the place that we were told to go to.”

 

Silver Crow asks, “What is this place?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “It is a kind of a backdoor.”

 

Silver Crow asks, “Backdoor?”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “An ‘emergency exit’.”

 

Black Lotus tells Cherry Cheetah, “You seem to know this well.”

 

Silver Valkyrie asks, “So, we bring you in here and you’ll head back.”

 

Future Sailor Moon asks, with a plain tone, “Has it always been that easy?”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, with a sigh, “Yeah, I know. A girl can dream.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “Yes, she can.”

 

Black Lotus asks Future Sailor Moon, “Since you know about this area for obvious reasons, then you know what’s to come.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “Well, I know what’s going to face us.”

 

Silver Crow asks, “What’s that?” Just then a loud ‘boom’ is heard and everyone looks to see a humanoid figure that looks like the Black Racer from the DC Universe.

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “That would him.”

 

Lime Bell asks, nervously, “Who is that?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “The Accelerated World’s version of the Grim Reaper: The Death Speedster.”

 

Black Lotus asks, shocked, “What?”

 

Silver Crow asks, “You know about…him?”

 

Black Lotus says, “That it isn’t a ‘him’, Silver Crow.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “It is the Accelerated World’s personification of death. True death. If you lose to him, you don’t just have Brain Burst uninstalled and you lose your memories, you are truly gone.”

 

Lime Bell asks, nervously, “Truly gone?”

 

Cyan Pile says, realizing what Future Sailor Moon is implying, “No, that’s not possible!”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, shaking her head, “I really wish that it was. Your body is still alive, but your mind, your conscious mind, is gone. Basically, you are left as a vegetable.”

 

There are gasps and Silver Crow says, stunned, “No way…”

 

Black Lotus tells Silver Crow, “I don’t blame you, Haruyuki-kun. Many Burst Linkers thought that it was just mere legend.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “We have a few cases.”

 

They look at Future Sailor Moon and Cyan Pile asks, “Are you sure?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “I know about two Burst Linkers that lost to the Death Speedster and their bodies are lying in hospitals never to wake up.”

 

Silver Crow asks, looking at the Death Speedster, “What is he waiting for?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, “Its challenger.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “I get it. It can’t do anything to us unless we challenge it.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “But we can’t use this place to get Sailor Moon back home unless we beat it.”

 

Black Lotus says, “You have to accept whatever its challenge is and beat him at it.”

 

Silver Valkyrie looks at Future Sailor Moon and the two of them don’t say anything in which Silver Valkyrie steps forward in which Cherry Cheetah asks, “Hey! What are you doing?”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “Something tells me that this isn’t…or should I say, this will be my first time with this ‘guy’.”

 

Silver Valkyrie steps forward to face Death Speedster and Cherry Cheetah yells out, “Hold on there!” However, when Cherry Cheetah goes over to stop Silver Valkyrie, she slams into a force-field and she is knocked to the ground.

 

Death Speedster says, in a deep menacing voice, “None shall deny the challenge.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, “We’re coming through you Grim Reaper wannabe.”

 

Death Speedster responds, “We shall see. You already know what it means to lose to me.”

 

Silver Valkyrie says, nervously, “I kind of got that.”

 

Death Speedster says, “And yet, you wish to continue? You are braver or more foolish than most.”

 

Silver Valkyrie thinks in her mind, nervously, “A part things that I’m going insane actually.”

 

Death Speedster says, “Then let us begin!” Death Speedster than creates a Duel Runner similar to Hunter Pace’s Duel Runner and with a bright glow, everyone is forced to cover their eyes and when they are able to see, there is a massive Duel Runner tracks similar to the ones in Neo Domino City all around and Silver Valkyrie has been ‘transformed’ to look like Serena in a silver version of Akiza’s Duel Runner outfit.

 

Serena asks, surprised, “What’s going on?” She then sees what looks like a silver version of Akiza’s Duel Runner with a dueling deck inside of the duel disk portion of the runner.

 

Death Speedster says, “This is my challenge: A Turbo Duel. We will use the Field Spell that they use to combine Turbo Dueling with Action Dueling: The Action Field Spell known as Crossover Accel! So, the same rules as an Action Duel apply, so, there is no need to worry about Speed Counters and such since you will be using your regular spell cards.”

 

Serena asks, sternly, “And I’m supposed to believe that it is fair?”

 

Death Speedster responds, “Look at your deck.” Serena then goes over, takes out the deck, and her eyes widen to see her Duel Monsters deck in front of her in which Death Speedster says, “Your mind has created your deck from the cards that are bonded to you. I take it that they are to your approval.”

 

Serena says, inserting the deck back into the duel disk portion of the runner, “Fine.”

 

Cherry Cheetah yells out, “Hey, Meatball Head! You never Turbo Dueled in your life.”

 

Serena responds, solemnly, “Don’t remind me.” Serena thinks in her mind, “Now, I need to Turbo Duel for my life.” Both Serena and Death Speedster get onto their Duel Runners, they activate them, the Duel Disk portions of their runners gain ‘energy blades’ for the Monster and Pendulum Card Zones, their decks are automatically shuffled, and their runner’s screens and life-point counters displays 4000 life-points for each duelist.

 

Death Speedster yells out, “Time to ride!” Death Speedster and Serena, who yelps out as her runner gets starts, speed off into the track while a shower of cards rain from the sky as the Action Field Spell, Crossover Accel, is activated.

 

Death Speedster and Serena say in unison, as their duel starts, “Duel! /Duel!”

 

Starti ng Scores:

Serena: 4000

Death Speedster: 4000

 

Death Speedster says, “I shall take the first turn and per the rules of an Action Duel, I don’t draw a card since I am taking the first turn!” Death Speedster puts a card on his duel disk and he yells out, “I start with Ancient Gear Hunting Hound in attack mode!” Ancient Gear Hunting Hound (1000/1000), a mechanical canine monster made up of old gears and such, appears on the field in attack mode and Death Speedster says, “Thanks to his ability, when he is Normal Summoned, my opponent loses six hundred life-points!” Just then a massive flame comes from the mouth of Ancient Gear Hunting Hound and Serena yelps out in pain and surprise as she loses 600 life-points.

 

The others are shocked and Cherry Cheetah says, shocked, “She really got hurt!”

 

Black Lotus says, plainly, “I’m not surprised by this.”

 

Death Speedster says, putting two cards into the main slot of his disk, “And that’s just the start! I end my turn with two cards face-down!”

 

Silver Crow says, “This is bad.”

 

Cyan Pile says, “Yes. The first turn and she already lost life-points. This isn’t going to be easy.”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 3400

Death Speedster: 4000

 

Serena says, drawing a card, “My turn!” Serena says, putting one care on her duel disk, “Fly, Assault Wyvern!” Assault Wyvern (1800/1000) then appears on the field in attack mode and Serena says, “Okay, Wyvern, put down that hound!” Assault Wyvern slices up Hunting Hound causing it to shatter and explode in which Death Speedster winches as he loses 800 life-points and Serena says, putting another card on her duel disk, “Now, I use my Wyvern’s ability! When he destroys a monster in battle, I can release him to play one dragon from my hand or graveyard! And I choose my Blue-Eyes White Dragon!” Assault Wyvern vanishes and Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3000/2500) comes to the field in attack mode to take its place.

 

Silver Crow says, amazed, “Oh, wow.”

 

Lime Bell says, “I’ve only seen that monster on television.”

 

Black Lotus says, with a sly tone, “Yes, it is a rare treat. This monster has only been used by a few duelists and two of them are Sailor Moon and Seto Kaiba.”

 

Serena shouts out, “Blue-Eyes, attack! White Lightning!”

 

Blue-Eyes unleashes its classic attack on Death Speedster, but he says, pushing a button on his disk, “I don’t think so! Reveal, Defense Draw!” Death Speedster’s face-down card is revealed to be the Defense Draw trap card and he says, “This card not only negates the damage, but I get a new card too!” A shield protects Death Speedster from Blue-Eyes White Dragon’s attack and the Grim Reaper of the Accelerated World draws a card.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “He is good. He waited until Serena’s second attack to use that trap card.”

 

Black Lotus says, “Yes, you have a point.”

 

Serena says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 3400

Death Speedster: 3200

 

Death Speedster says, drawing a card and in a taunting tone, “Is that all? Then it is my move!” Death Speedster pushes a button on his disk and he says, “I activate my trap card: Ancient Gear Reborn!” Death Speedster’s other face-down is revealed to be a continuous trap card, Ancient Gear Reborn, and he says, “As long as this card remains on the field, once per turn, I can revive one Ancient Gear monster and it comes back with two hundred more attack points! So, return to my hound of death!” Soon after, Ancient Gear Hunting Hound (1000/1000-1200/1000) returns to the field in attack mode.

 

Silver Crow says, confused, “But it only has two hundred extra attack points now, right? It can’t stand up to a Blue-Eyes White Dragon.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “Something tells me that worse is yet to come.”

 

Death Speedster says, “And now, I play my Hunting Hound’s other ability! I can fusion summon one Ancient Gear Fusion Monster with monsters on my field and hand without the need for a Polymerization!”

 

Serena asks, shocked, “What?!”

 

The others are also shocked and Cherry Cheetah says, “I knew it.”

 

Death Speedster discards two more Ancient Gear Hunting Hounds (1000/1000 X 2) and one Ancient Gear Soldier (1300/1300) monster cards causing them to appear on the field and he yells out, “And now, I combine my other two Hunting Hounds and Ancient Gear Soldier with the Hunting Hound on my field!” All four monsters then go into a fusion vortex as a card comes out of Death Speedster’s Extra Deck and Death Speedster says, slamming the card onto his duel disk, “Awaken, my giant of demise: Ancient Gear Chaos Giant!” Out of the fusion vortex, Ancient Gear Chaos Giant (4500/3000), a massive mechanized behemoth that’s rivals Obelisk the Tormentor in height, appears on the field and loom over everyone in attack mode.

 

There are gasps of shock and horror from everyone, minus Death Speedster, and Lime Bell says, stunned, “It’s huge!”

 

Silver Crow says, “I think beyond huge, Chiyuri!”

 

Cyan Pile says, nervously, “I have to agree with you, Haruyuki!”

 

Serena says, nervously, “That’s not good.”

 

Death Speedster says, “Indeed. Plus, my Chaos Giant can’t be affected by spell or trap cards!”

 

Serena says, shocked, “Oh no!”

 

Death Speedster yells out, “Correct assessment, my dear! Now, Chaos Giant, destroy her precious dragon!” Chaos Giant swings its massive claw like right hand into Blue-Eyes White Dragon causing it to roar as it is sent flying and shatters into pieces with the shockwave nearly causing Serena to crash in which she yelps as she loses 1500 life-points.

 

Cherry Cheetah says, horrified, “Serena!”

 

Gatomon says, “Oh no!”

 

BlackGatomon says, “That’s a good way to put it, sis.”

 

Death Speedster says, with a sly tone, “Turn end.”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 1900

Death Speedster: 3200

 

Death Speedster says, “You should also know that monsters can’t use their special abilities during the Battle Phase as long as my Giant remains on the field.”

 

Serena says, sarcastically, “Thanks for the tip.” Serena draws a card, puts one card into the main slot of her disk, and she says, “I activate my Dian Kato the Cure Master! My life-points go up by one thousand!” A golden light shines on Serena as her life-points go up by 1000 points and Serena says, putting one card on her duel disk, “Then I play Aqua Madoor in defense mode!” Aqua Madoor (1200/2000) appears on the field in defense mode and Serena says, with a sigh, “And that’s all.”

 

Silver Crow asks, shocked, “That’s all?!”

 

Cyan Pile says, nervously, “I’m afraid that’s all she can do Haruyuki.”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 2900

Death Speedster: 3200

 

Death Speedster says, drawing a card, “Now that’s just sad! Now, I use my trap’s effect and revive one of my mighty hounds!” Just then Ancient Gear Hunting Hound (1000/1000-1200/1000) comes to the field due to Ancient Gear Reborn’s effect and Death Speedster says, with a wicked sly tone, “By the way, if my monster has more attack points than your monster’s defense points, you get slammed with the damage!” Serena gasps in shock and Death Speedster roars out, “Attack!” Chaos Giant slams its fist into Aqua Madoor, crushing it, and causing a shockwave that rocks our Moon Princess, causing her to be barely able to keep going, while she loses 2500 life-points, but she manages to grab an Action Card.

 

Serena says, putting the card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate the Action Card: Damage Draw! Since I took over two thousand life-points of damage, I get two cards!”

 

Serena draws two cards and Death Speedster says, “It won’t stop my hound! End this now Hunting Hound! Bring her soul to me!”

 

Hunting Hound charges right for Serena and Silver Crow shouts out, “Watch out!”

 

Serena says, discarding one card from her hand, “I activate the effect of my good friend, Kuriboh, from my hand! When I send him to the graveyard, your damage is zero!” Kuriboh (300/200) appears in front of Serena and stops the attack from Hunting Hound.

 

Death Speedster says, “You are only delaying the inventible. I end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 400

Death Speedster: 3200

 

Lime Bell says, nervously, “This isn’t good.” Lime Bell asks, looking at Future Sailor Moon, “And if she goes…?”

 

Black Lotus says, “She and all of us have no future…not even a present. However, do not count her out yet.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, “Yeah! Meatball Head has gotten herself out of more dangerous situations than this!”

 

Silver Crow says, with a nod, “Yeah! She is Sailor Moon after all!”

 

With Serena, she thinks in her mind, “Thank you, everyone. I know that there is a solution in here, but I don’t know what.” When Serena reaches to draw her next card, she gasps as an image of a dragon enters her mind and her crescent moon sigil glows on her forehead for a moment. Serena then says, drawing a card, “My move! I draw!”

 

Death Speedster says, “Refusing to surrender? I honor your courage, but curse your common sense.”

 

Serena says, putting one card into the main slot, “I activate Pot of Greed and draw two cards!” Serena draws two cards, displays Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon (1200/2400) and Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon (1200/600) Pendulum Monster cards, and she says, “I use the scale one Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and scale eight Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and set the Pendulum Scale!” She puts the cards on the Pendulum Zones of her duel disk causing the word ‘Pendulum’ in rainbow colors to appear in her Monster Card Zones and then said monsters to appear in two columns of light, one column of light to either side, and the number 1 below Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and number 8 below Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon. Serena says, as a replica of the crystal pendulum appears between the columns and starts to swing, “And now, I can play monsters that are level two to seven this turn! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Serena puts three cards on her duel disk and she yells out, “Come on out, everyone! Cave Dragon, Delta Flyer, and Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!” A circle of light appears on the field, three lights come out, and the ‘lights’ are revealed to be Cave Dragon (2000/100), Delta Flyer (1500/900), and Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (2500/2000) in attack mode.

 

Future Sailor Moon gives a secret smile and Black Lotus says, “Good move.”

 

Silver Crow asks, “What do you mean Kuroyukihime-sempai?”

 

The image of the dragon comes to Serena’s mind and she thinks, “I hear you.” Serena yells out, “And now, I tune my level Delta Flyer with level four Cave Dragon!” Delta Flyer turns into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Cave Dragon, turning it transparent, and then causing a column of light to appear on the field. A beam of light comes out of Serena’s Extra Deck, goes onto her duel disk, and revealing what looks like a monster card that has a border that has the top half a Synchro Monster white and the bottom half being a Spell/Pendulum Monster green. Serena then chants out, “Spread your wings at the speed of sound and blaze through your enemies like a bullet! Synchro Summon!” Serena shouts out, “Shoot through to victory, Clearwing Fast Dragon!” Out of the column of light, Clearwing Fast Dragon (2500/2000), a large white and dark armored green dragon with six dark green crystal wings spread out through its form, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Death Speedster asks, confused, “What kind of creature is that?”

 

Serena winches a bit and she yells out, “The one that’s going to turn you into ash, you Grim Reaper wannabe! Clearwing Fast Dragon allows me to negate one of your monster’s abilities and turns its attack power to zero for this turn!”

 

Death Speedster asks, shocked, “What?!”

 

Serena yells out, “Dichroic Drain!” Clearwing Fast Dragon unleashes a powerful energy that causes Chaos Giant to slump as it loses its abilities and it goes from 4500/3000 to 0/3000!

 

Death Speedster says, shocked, “My monster!”

 

Serena responds, “Is now helpless! Time to end this! Clearwing Fast Dragon, destroy his overgrown tin can now! Whirlwind Sonic Burst!” Clearwing Fast Dragon zooms into the skies, does a barrel roll, and rockets into and through Chaos Giant causing it to explode in a massive explosion while Death Speedster grunts loudly as he loses 2500 life-points.

 

Cherry Cheetah yells out, “Way to go, Meatball Head! Bring it home!”

 

Serena yells out, “Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon, end this duel now!” Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon unleashes its attack on Hunting Hound causing it and Death Speedster to be engulfed in a massive explosion and he roars as he loses 1300 life-points as well as the duel.

 

Final Score:

Serena: 400

Death Speedster: 0

 

Death Speedster just laughs as he shatters into data particles while the whole of the field glows causing everyone to cover their eyes and when the light fades as quickly as it came, Silver Valkyrie is standing in front of what looks like a gateway.

 

Lime Bell says, excitedly, “She did it!”

 

Black Lotus says, with a nod, “Indeed.”

 

The group assemble around Silver Valkyrie in which she asks Future Sailor Moon, “This isn’t the last time that I’M going to be seeing him, huh?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, shaking her head, “Nope. And neither am I.”

 

Cherry Cheetah says, annoyed, “Geez! You attract trouble like bees to pollen Meatball Head.”

 

Future Sailor Moon responds, annoyed, “I don’t want to hear it from you, squirt.” Future Sailor Moon stumbles forward and she says, “Okay. I’ll be able to get home from here.”

 

Lime Bell asks Future Sailor Moon, “Are you sure?”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “Yeah…” Future Sailor Moon tells Black Lotus, “Thank you for all of your help.”

 

Black Lotus responds, “It was my pleasure…sempai.”

 

Future Sailor Moon says, shaking her head, “You never change.” Future Sailor Moon tells the group, “Anyway, I’ll see you on the other side.” Future Sailor Moon then walks through the gateway and the gateway then closes behind her.

 

Black Lotus says, “We had better get back as well.” The others nod their heads and all of them, Burst Linker and Digimon, glow as they vanish and return to the ‘physical world’.

 

AD 2047, Moon Kingdom

 

Within the Moon Kingdom, a good time afterwards, Serena, Rini, BlackGatomon, and Gatomon are racing through the palace where Serena and Rini enter a hospital room where they find Future Yui, Future Kazuto, and Future Asuna looking at this timeline’s ‘version’ of Serena.

 

Future Serena looks a lot like the Serena/Sailor Moon of 2025-2026 AD, but her form has more ‘adult womanly’ shape to it, her lips are a deep and shimmering as well as gorgeous pink color, and the overall ‘feel’ of Future Serena is a more adult version of Serena/Sailor Moon of 2025-2026.

 

Future Serena is lying on the bed and she tells Rini, “What kept you two, squirt?”

 

Rini responds, with a smirk, “Very funny.”

 

Future Asuna says, “We’re so glad that you are back and okay.”

 

Future Serena says, with a smile, “Sorry to make you worry.”

 

Future Yui says, with a pout, “You should be sorry, Auntie Serena. Do you know how much Auntie Suguha, Mommy, and Daddy were worried about you?”

 

Future Serena says, with a smile, “Nice to see you, too, Yui-chan.”

 

Future Kazuto says, “Well, due to your actions ‘back there’, you are quite drained and you are going to follow Ami’s orders and stay in that bed.”

 

Future Asuna asks, with a smirk, “Or do we have to bind you in there Serena-chan?”

 

Future Serena says, nervously, “I rather you don’t…”

 

Rini says, “Well, our work isn’t done.”

 

Just then Future Sammy’s voice booms out, “The ‘Mini-Meatball Head’ is right.” Everyone then looks to see Future Suguha and Future Sammy enter the room.

 

Serena asks, shocked, “Sammy?”

 

Future Sammy says, with a smirk, “Hey, Meatball Head, what’s shaking?”

 

Serena says, annoyed, “It is you.”

 

Future Serena says, rolling her eyes, “Yeah, tell me about it. He is an adult and still a kid. And trust me, I’m amazed that I don’t have grey hairs.”

 

Future Sammy says, with a smile, “Nice to see that you didn’t lose your sense of humor Serena.”

 

Future Suguha says, “We don’t have time for chit-chat. ‘They’ have made their move.”

 

There are looks of shock and Future Serena asks, “Are you sure?”

 

Future Sammy says, “No joke, Meatball Head. We are detecting increased seismic activity on the planet and it is getting bad.”

 

Future Kazuto asks, “Seismic? What are they doing? Drilling to the Earth’s core?”

 

Future Suguha says, “Got me, big brother. However, we managed to get a lock onto the energy that they stole from me and Serena using sis and the Silver Crystal.”

 

Future Serena says, “Well…”

 

But before Future Serena can try anything, Future Asuna says, sternly, “Oh no, you don’t! You wore yourself out and you are still drained! You aren’t going anywhere Serena-chan!”

 

Future Yui says, with a nod, “That’s right.”

 

Future Kazuto says, shaking his head, “Don’t argue with them Serena.”

 

Future Serena says, with a sigh, “Don’t I know it? All right, I get it.”

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “I guess that I’m elected.”

 

Future Sammy says, “No kidding.”

 

Future Kazuto says, “Let’s get planning.” Soon after, Future Kazuto, Future Sammy, Future Suguha, Serena, and Rini take off with BlackGatomon and Gatomon head off while Future Asuna and Future Yui make sure that Future Serena doesn’t rush off.

 

Future Serena says, “Speaking of my two Digimon felines…”

 

Just then a familiar female voice retorts, “Really, Serena?” The group looks to see another Gatomon and BlackGatomon enter from the shadows with the same digivice that Serena has.

 

The other BlackGatomon asks, “What kept you?”

 

Future Serena says, “I was ‘hung up’.”

 

Future Asuna says, with a smile, “Bad Serena-chan.”

 

Future Yui asks, concerned, “Do you think that they will be okay?”

 

Future Asuna says, with a sigh, “We know, Yui-chan. Just because it happened one way for us, it doesn’t mean that things can change.”

 

Future Serena thinks in her mind, “If there are any ‘changes’, let’s hope that they are for the better.”

 

End of Chapter 8 of Arc II

 

(Sword Art Online ending music ‘No More Time Machine’ starts)

 

As the music starts to play, we see a Gatomon and a black version of Gatomon, BlackGatomon, running around.

 

The scene switches to Serena/Sailor Moon as we see her go through the ‘eventful moments’ in her life starting as Sailor Moon up to the end of SAO in which she ‘splits’ into her ‘real-life self’, her ‘SAO self’, her ‘ALO self’, her Brain Burst avatar, and her various Sailor Moon transformations including what looks like upgraded version of her Valkyrie Sailor Scout form.

 

Next, we see Rini/Sailor Neo Moon and the eventful moments of her life, starting from when she arrived in the past during the ‘Negamoon Saga’ up until currently where she then splits into her ‘ALO self’, her Brain Burst avatar, and Sailor Neo Moon transforming including what looks like a Valkyrie form.

 

Then we see Kuroyukihime, Haruyuki, Chiyuri, and Takumi together with their real-life selves, their virtual avatars, and their Brain Burst avatar forms.

 

And then we see Sailor Moon looking at the vast ‘virtual universe’ in front of her and she then turns to see a group of hands where we find Sailor Neo Moon along with the ‘future versions’ of Sailor Moon, the Sailor Scouts, and the Digidestined extending their hands and pointing the way to something.

 

Next, we see Serena, Rini, Kuroyukihime, Haruyuki, Chiyuri, and Takumi in their Brain Burst avatars within one of the fields of the Accelerated World facing off against other ‘Burst Linkers’.

 

The next scene is them still in the Accelerated World with their avatars and they are on the back of Imperialdramon Dragon Mode.

 

Finally, we find Serena, Rini, Kuroyukihime, Haruyuki, Chiyuri, and Takumi, in their Brain Burst avatars, running towards a mysterious shadow with Serena’s future self below him with her arms crossed in front of her and looking like in a deep slumber with them and two legions of Digimon facing off against each other.
