Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online II: SAO Shippuden ❯ Arc III: Chapter 13: Dark Ninja Strike Cure ( Chapter 31 )

Things have started to heat up, once again, in this chapter and before any confusion comes up, this isn’t like what happened in the World’s Song story. There isn’t a Fusion/Synchro/XYZ/Pendulum AKA Standard Dimension in this storyline. Kite, this Kite, comes from the Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal universe/timeline in which I have to say that Yu-Gi-Oh Zexal seems to be an alternative timeline to me since the original Yu-Gi-Oh, GX, and 5Ds flawlessly ‘link’ together while the latest three Yu-Gi-Oh series, Zexal, Arc-V, and Vrains, don’t belong in the same timeline as the other three, but that’s my opinion. Now, before we start, 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 as well as the UNI-SHOCKER organization.

Sailor Moon Online II: SAO Shippuden

 

(Sword Art Online II music ‘Courage’ starts)

 

As the intro starts, we see images of swords go by and reflected on the blades of the swords are images of Suguha and Leafa with the final reflection from the blades of the sword are Rika, Lisbeth, SAO and ALO forms, Keiko, Silica, SAO and ALO forms, Shion, Sinon, GGO and ALO forms, Kotone, Philia, SAO/SAW and ALO forms, Hiyori, Kuro, and Lux.

 

The next shows Princess Selene then turning into a toddler Suguha Kirigaya, who then ‘ages’ into a 13-year-old Suguha Kirigaya, warping into Suguha Kirigaya of 15-16 years of age, then into Eternal Sailor Celestial, and finally, into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial. As Valkyrie Sailor Celestial turns to the skies to see some unseen sight, Rika, Keiko, Shion/Sailor Orion, Kotone, and Hiyori appear behind her.

 

Just then it turns into images of Ancient Egypt of Atem’s time, Atlantis, the original Domino City, Neo Domino City, and ALO before we see Suguha Kirigaya looking at a ‘shooting star’ before she transforms into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial before facing an unknown figure that uses the Seal of Orichalcos that surrounds her and her enemy.

 

Next, Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze are seen in two separate images which change where Suguha, then Leafa, and finally, Valkyrie Sailor Celestial are using their kendo/sword techniques. Just then Rika/Lisbeth, Keiko/Silica, Shion/Sinon/Sailor Orion, Kotone/Philia, and Hiyori/Lux are seen before we see Valkyrie Sailor Celestial, using her sword techniques, is joined by Naruto, using his famous Shadow Clones and Rasengan, in this ‘fight demonstration’.

 

Then we find Valkyrie Sailor Moon walking slowly forward until she is face to face with Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and the two of them stare at each other before Valkyrie Sailor Celestial brings out Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) and Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon (2500/2000) with Valkyrie Sailor Moon brings out Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (2500/2000) and Clearwing Fast Dragon (2500/2000) in which they go into an epic clash with Valkyrie Sailor Moon and Valkyrie Sailor Celestial clashing blades themselves.

 

The scene changes to Davis and Kazuto, looking a lot like his SAO avatar of Kirito, facing off against Naruto with Naruto bring out Red Nova Dragon (3500/3000) and Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon (3000/2500) while Kazuto brings out Hot Red Dragon Archfiend King Calamity (4000/3500) and Davis brings out Shooting Star Dragon (3300/2500) along with the other Signer and Duel Dragons in which they launch into an epic titanic fight.

 

Just then we see Sailor Celestial, Sailor Orion, Lisbeth, Silica, Philia, and Lux engaged by a legion of opponents including monsters from ALO and Duel Monsters which they fight and defeat, but then a mysterious figure brings out the Divine Serpent used by Dartz, but Sailor Celestial, Lisbeth, and Silica bring out the three Legendary Dragons, Timaeus, Critias, and Hermos, and they transform into their true forms: The Legendary Knights of Atlantis where they defeat the Divine Serpent.

 

Naruto and Sailor Celestial are back to back surrounded by Sakura, Hinata, Rika, Keiko, Sailor Orion, Kotone, and Hiyori as a powerful circle brings for the three Aesir, Thor, Loki, and Odin as well as the three Egyptian God Monsters: Obelisk, Slifer, and Ra in which all of them unleash an incredible attack creating a massive bright light. From that light, Black-Winged Dragon (2800/1600) emerges along with the Crimson Dragon.

 

The scene then switches to images of Yugi Moto, Pharaoh Atem, Seto Kaiba, Joey Wheeler, Dartz, and more before switching to our heroes and heroines with images of Neo Domino City, Aincrad/SAO, ALO, the Elemental Countries including the Leaf Village, and more as images of Suguha and Naruto from childhood into their current years are seen before Suguha turns into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and the two of them look into the distance.

 

Finally, we have different scenes where we see Naruto training and mastering the Rasengan, Leafa flying through the virtual skies of ALO, Serena becoming Sailor Moon for the first time, and leading to a scene with all of our heroes and heroines, joined by Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata, racing towards some kind of unknown destination in which it finally stop at all of them assembled together flanked by Earth, Atlantis, and the Leaf Village in the background along with the Legendary Dragons/Knights, the Signer and Duel Dragons, the Aesir, and Egyptian God Monsters.

Arc III: Chapter 13: Dark Ninja Strike Cure

 

May 24, 2026, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

Within the Akihabara section of Tokyo’s Chiyoda Ward, Suguha, her two Digimon partners, and Sakura wandering through what was an underground dueling, namely illegal dueling, ring where Sakura shows them a high-tech entertainment center, more like a personal theater, an incredible kitchen used by five-star restaurants with a dining area to match, science lab used by the top of the line scientific organizations, bedrooms found in a mixture of five-star luxury hotels as well as ‘love hotels’, and finally, they are inside of an arena.

 

Sakura tells Suguha, “Here we are.”

 

Suguha says, “You made yourself at home.”

 

Sakura says, with a smile, “Well, it belongs to us now.”

 

Suguha says, “Yeah…”

 

Sakura tells Suguha, “I know what you are thinking: What about their home? Well, we plan to go home to make sure that our world is at peace and make sure that Madara’s and Kaguya’s plan go down the drain or the toilet since we know everything, but we plan on making this our new home.”

 

Suguha asks, surprised, “What? Why?”

 

Sakura says, showing a Naruto manga, “See this? This is fiction. Sure, it is highly based on our lives, but I’m real and this isn’t. I don’t let this rule my life and how I do it.”

 

Suguha responds, “Something tells me that you don’t approve of your ‘manga counterparts’ marriage to Sasuke? Why the change of heart?”

 

Sakura says, with a sigh and looking at the Naruto manga, “Seeing this and seeing a ‘watered down version’ of your bitchy self…it gets you kind of thinking.”

 

Suguha tells Sakura, “Not to mention seeing a ‘watered down version’ of Naruto’s childhood in a nutshell, huh?”

 

Sakura tells Suguha, “Lay it on thick, why don’t you?”

 

Suguha says, “From what you are saying, the fanfiction on Naruto has got his childhood story ‘watered down’ in the anime and manga.”

 

Sakura says, “Let’s say that I got good motion of that.”

 

Suguha says, “Okay, let’s get down to business.”

 

Sakura says, with a sly smile, “That’s what I was thinking.” Suguha then takes out her duel disk from her sub-space pocket and attaches to her left wrist where, afterwards, she inserts her dueling deck. Suguha then looks out to see Sakura taking out two suitcases that contains sets of three manacles.

 

Suguha says, plainly, “You have got to be kidding me.”

 

Sakura says, shaking her head, “Do I look like I’m kidding? And don’t answer that. No, I am not. You may say that you already know, if you forgive the pun, this isn’t a game. But do you really know? I think that it is time for you get a dose of what your ‘title’ is down your throat.”

 

Suguha responds, sternly, “Oh, really? And if I say no?”

 

Before Suguha could responds, a familiar female voice says, “I wouldn’t if I were you.” Sakura, Suguha, and Suguha’s Digimon partners turn to look to see Haruka with several other women with her.

 

The first is a young woman of around 18 years of age with pale skin, medium length green hair and amber eyes in a furtive or feral glance and an emotionless expression. She wears a dingy torn up yellow and black striped shirt with a snake patterned and black frill trim that is very short, stopping at the bust line, showing a lot of cleavage. Because of this, it can only properly cover one of her shoulders. She has thin necklaces around her neck, and black leather constricts going down her arms and legs, which carry knives. Her blue jeans have gashes and rips. The zipper is down and the belt unbuckled, with leather constricts below the knees and a red snake pattern on the left thigh. She has snake tattoos on her left hip, shoulder and breast.

 

The second is a young lady of around 17-18 years of age with fair skin girl and long blonde hair with a small green clip in it. Her outfit is somewhat reminiscent of a maid. She wears a teal green dress with a white slip underneath. The top of her dress only comes up to the bustline, and a single white collar wraps around her neck. On her arms, she has long white gloves and green diamond shaped arm sleeves with white frill underneath. Around her waist is a small white apron with shuriken pattern on them, and a belt that holds a brown bag and a strip of replacement darts for her crossbow weapon. She wears a teal beret with a large white bow on the back of it, and an even larger bow on the back of her dress. Under her dress are a pair of white stockings covered by long brown boots with black bows at the top, and her signature giant sword rests on her back.

 

The third is another young lady of around 17-18 years of age with tanned skin and her dark brown hair is tied in a long ponytail with a white ribbon, the ends of the ribbon standing straight up. She has on all-black sailor fuku with red trim, small light grey jacket over the fuku, wears wrist guards on her forearms with bandages underneath, and samurai leg guards around her legs. She wears white loose socks with brown dress shoes.

 

With the three young women, Shion, Hiyori, Rika, and Keiko are with them with their arms tied behind their backs and all of them bound by ropes around their chest and waists in which Suguha yells out, shocked, “Shion?! Hiyori?! Rika?! Keiko?!”

 

Rika says, nervously, “Hey, Suguha.”

 

Suguha yells out at Sakura, angrily, “What the heck is this?!”

 

Sakura says, glaring at Haruka, “That’s what I would like to know.”

 

Haruka says, “Don’t blame me, sweetie. These four were following her.”

 

When Haruka points to Suguha, she asks, surprised, “They were?”

 

Keiko says, nervously, “Well…”

 

Shion says, with a plain tone, “It is obvious why, Suguha.”

 

Suguha tells her four friends, “I told you I would handle this!”

 

The tanned skin female says, “Yeah, you are doing a good job at that.”

 

The pale skinned green haired female says, plainly, “The way that you are holding yourself tells that very well.”

 

Haruka says, “Now, Hikage, let’s not be too harsh on her…despite it being all true.”

 

Sakura says, annoyed, “Just let them go, Haruka.”

 

Haruka tells Sakura, “No can do, Sakura. I think that our little Sailor Scout of Reality needs more ‘incentive’ to get her moving.” Haruka then goes over to Keiko, hugs her, and she says, excitedly, “Plus, this one is so adorable! I just can’t let her go that easily!”

 

Sakura slaps herself in the forehead and she says, “You and your fetish…” Suguha looks at Sakura and Sakura tells her, “Haruka has a ‘thing’ for cute girls that like ‘dolls’ since she was treated like a doll by her mother. However, the mother wasn’t to blame. Haruka’s cheating asshole of a dad left Haruka’s mom quite jaded.”

 

Haruka says, with a nod, “I could never blame my mom. My so-called father never gave my mother any of the caring that he should have. All she had was me after all. While it was ‘stifling’ at times, I knew my mother was in pain. How can blame her due to that man? But thanks to Suzume-sensei, I gained the power that I needed to make sure that my mother could move on with her life when I made sure that man publicly admitted to his misdeeds despite it not being willingly.” Haruka says, with a smile, “However, thanks to my darling mother, I got an appreciation for such cuties as one right here.” Haruka hugs the bound Keiko causing her to yelp in fear while everyone else gives nervous sweat drops at that.

 

Sakura asks, “Does Naruto know about this?”

 

The tanned skin female says, “Well…”

 

However, Sakura says, interrupting, “I thought so, Homura. I’m going to tell Naruto and we’re going to have a talk.” Haruka, the tanned skinned female, Homura, the pale skinned female, Hikage, and blond haired female dressed in a green maid-like clothing gain nervous looks on their faces.

 

Homura says, nervously, “Come on, girl, you don’t have to go that far!”

 

Sakura tells Homura, “You know that despite Naruto-kun’s plans to rebuild ninja society on Earth from the ground up in any way possible and restart his clan here, Naruto has his ‘boundaries’ you know. It is his ‘ninja way’ after all.”

 

Suguha thinks in her mind, her eyes amazed, “Naruto wants to do what here?!”

 

Haruka says, with a smile, “True. However, your ‘prize’ for Suguha-san may not have been enough ‘enticement’ for her to duel in your way for her to teach her a valuable lesson. Right now, she needs more incentive for her to fight.”

 

Sakura says, with a sigh, “Fine. I don’t like this, but I need to get her to do this.”

 

Suguha asks, with a serious glare, “And if I ‘protest’?”

 

The blond haired young lady in green says, “Sorry, but thanks to some technology that we swiped from UNI-SHOCKER, you can’t transform here and your Digimon can’t digivolve here.”

 

Suguha gasps in shock and Hikage says, “Yomi is right, Suguha-san. You might have felt a ‘tingle’ when you came in, correct? That was the field created to ‘disconnect’ your items from your ‘power sources’ making you unable to tap in your Sailor Scout powers.”

 

Suguha says, with a snarl, “Damn it!”

 

Sakura says, “Sorry, but my ‘girlfriends’ have a point. Let’s just duel and not have this go any further.”

 

Suguha responds, with a growl, “Fine, Billboard Brow!”

 

Sakura tells Suguha, annoyed, “Excuse me for trying to be nice!” Sakura throws Suguha the manacles in which both Sakura put them around their necks and their wrists where they step out to duel.

 

Hiyori says, worriedly, “Suguha…”

 

Suguha tells Hiyori, “Don’t worry, I’ll be all right.” Suguha tells Sakura, “I’m about to teach her what it means not to mess with my friends.”

 

Sakura tells Suguha, “Watch it, girl. You might be the one going through the ‘school of hard knocks’ if you aren’t careful. If you think that this is your arena, think again.” Sakura and Suguha activate their duel disks, their decks become shuffled, and the ‘energy blades’ containing their Monster and Pendulum Zones then appear in which when the disks’ touch screen display 4000 life-points for each duelist, they draw five cards for their respective decks.

 

“Duel!” Suguha and Sakura say in unison as their duel begins.

 

Starting Scores:

Suguha: 4000

Sakura: 4000

 

Sakura says, “Since I challenged you, you should start off.”

 

Suguha responds, sarcastically, “Thanks. Real nice of you.” Sakura sighs as Suguha draws a card from her deck and she says, “Okay, I draw!” Suguha then displays Stargazer Magician (1200/2400) and Timegazer Magician (1200/600) and she says, “I take scale one, Stargazer Magician, and scale eight, Timegazer Magician, and set the Pendulum Scale!” Suguha puts the two cards on her disk’s Pendulum Zones causing the Monster Card Zones of her disk to display the word ‘Pendulum’ in rainbow colors as two said monsters appear on the field in two columns of light, one monster per column, in which the number 1 is below Stargazer and number 8 below Timegazer. Suguha says, as an image of her crystal pendulum swinging between them appears, “And now, I can summon monsters that are levels two through seven this turn! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Suguha says, putting three cards on her disk, “Now, it is time for a triple Odd-Eyes threat! Odd-Eyes Persona, Odd-Eyes Mirage, and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragons!” A circle of light appears on the field, three ‘lights’ come from the circle, and those ‘lights’ turn into Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon (1200/2400), Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon (1200/600), and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) in attack mode.

 

Haruka says, “Three of her dragons in one turn? Impressive.”

 

Suguha says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “If you think that’s impressive, get ready for my Odd-Eyes X-Mas spell card! This card allows me to draw one card for every Odd-Eyes card on my field and since I have three, I get three new cards!” Suguha draws three new cards in which she says, putting two cards into the main slot, “First, I place two cards face-down!” Suguha says, putting the last card in her hand into the main slot of her disk, “Then I play my Mirage of Nightmare to end my turn!”

 

Sakura says, drawing a card, “Then it is my turn! I draw!”

 

Suguha says, drawing four cards, “And I draw, too, due to my Mirage of Nightmare! During your Standby Phase, I get to draw until I have four cards in my hand, but during my next Standby Phase, I have to discard that many cards to the graveyard.”

 

Sakura says, with a smirk, “It is quite obvious that you have a spell card that will ‘negate’ that negative effect.”

 

Suguha says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “Good eye! I play my Emergency Provisions!” Suguha’s face-down card is revealed to be the Emergency Provisions Quick-Play spell card and Suguha says, “By getting rid of spell and trap cards on my field, I get one grand in life-points per card and I get rid of good old Mirage!” The ‘image’ of Mirage of Nightmare continuous spell card vanishes from the field and Suguha’s life-points increase by 1000 points.

 

Sakura says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Not bad, but let’s see how you deal with this. I start off with my Machine Angel Absolute Ritual spell card! Now, by releasing monsters from my hand and field, I can bring out a Cyber Angel Ritual monster!” Sakura discards Cyber Tutubon (1800/1600), puts a Ritual Monster card on her disk, and she says, “I release my Cyber Tutubon to play Cyber Angel Natasha!” Soon after, Cyber Angel Natasha (1000/1000) appears on the field in attack mode and Sakura says, “Next, Cyber Tutubon’s ability activates! Since I used her for a Ritual Summon, I can return one Ritual Spell card from my graveyard to my hand!” A card comes out of the graveyard slot of Sakura’s disk and Sakura says, putting it into the main slot of her disk, “Next, I activate Machine Angel Absolute Ritual once again! By the way, not only I can use monsters in my hand and on my field, but I can return fairy and warrior monsters in my graveyard to my deck that are equal to the level of the Ritual Monster that I’m summoning as well! I return Cyber Tutubon to my deck to play another Cyber Angel Natasha!” A beam of light comes out of the graveyard slot of Sakura’s disk, back to her deck, causing it to be reshuffled, and when Sakura puts the Ritual Monster card on her disk, another Cyber Angel Natasha (1000/1000) appears on the field, but this time, in defense mode. Sakura says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I equip my attacking Natasha with my Ritual Weapon equip spell! This boosts a Ritual Monster that’s level six or below by fifteen hundred points!” An extravagant crossbow appears on the left wrist of one of the two Natashas and that Natasha goes from 1000/1000 to 2500/2500 in which Sakura says, with a smirk, “And now, I activate Natasha’s ability! Once per turn, I can boost my life-points by half the attack of one monster of the field including herself!”

 

Suguha says, with a plain tone, “You are going to use both Natashas to boost your life-points by half of the attack of the powered up one.”

 

Sakura says, with a grin, “Obviously.” Both Natashas glow and Sakura’s life-points go up by 2500 life-points in which she says, putting one more card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate my Graceful Charity! I draw three cards and discard two from my hand!” Sakura draws three cards, discards two from her hand, and she says, drawing two cards, “And one of those cards was Card of Compensation! Since you used this card, you know how it works! I discard it from my hand to the grave and two new cards are given to me!” Sakura says, “And now, Natasha, attack Mirage Dragon!” The stronger Natasha turns her weapon towards Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and fires an arrow of light at him.

 

Suguha says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “I don’t think so! I activate Draining Shield!” Suguha’s face-down card is revealed to be the Draining Shield trap card and Suguha says, “Due to this card, not only is your attack negated, but I gain life-points to your monster’s attack points!” A shield protects Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and Suguha’s life-points increase by 2500 life-points in which Suguha smirks.

Sakura says, putting three cards into the main slot of her disk, “Don’t think that you just helped yourself. You just made this lesson all the more painful. I end my turn.”

 

Current Scores:

Suguha: 7500

Sakura: 6500

 

Hiyori says, amazed, “Wow. They are good.”

 

Suguha says, drawing a card, “Okay! My turn! I draw!” Suguha says, putting one card into the main slot, “I play Pot of Greed! I use it draw two new cards from my deck!”

 

Suguha draws two new cards and Sakura says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “Bingo! I thought so! I activate my Talisman of Reversal trap!” Sakura’s face-down card is revealed to be the Talisman of Reversal trap card and Sakura says, “When you draw cards outside of the Draw Phase, I can draws equal to the cards in your hand right now! So, thanks to the new hand!”

 

Sakura draws half-a-dozen new cards from her deck and Suguha says, “Well, it looks like you are using that brain of yours.”

 

Sakura says, with a grin, “More than you using yours.”

 

Suguha says, with a snarl, “We’ll see!” Suguha says, “Now, I release Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon to play Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon in attack mode!” Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon vanishes and Odd-Eyes Advanced Dragon (3000/2500), a larger and more ‘feral’ version of Odd-Eyes Dragon, appears on the field in attack mode in which Suguha says, “I can summon this monster by releasing one level five or higher monster in which when summoned in this way, I can destroy one monster on your field and you suffer damage equal to its attack points!” Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon unleashes a powerful flame right at attack mode Cyber Angel Natasha.

 

Sakura says, discarding Effect Veiler (0/0) monster card, “By discarding Effect Veiler, your monster’s special abilities are negated this turn!” An ‘image’ of Effect Veiler surrounds Odd-Eyes Advance Dragon and its flame dispel before they reach the attack mode Cyber Angel Natasha.

 

Suguha says, putting one card on her disk, “Okay, but since I have Pendulum Monsters in my Pendulum Zones and an Odd-Eyes Pendulum Monster in my Extra Deck, I can bypass Pendulum Summoning this turn to bring out Odd-Eyes Phantasma Dragon!” Light comes from Stargazer and Timegazer and out of that light, Odd-Eyes Phantasma Dragon (30002500), a massive grey-scaled dragon with the classic Odd-Eyes dichromate eye set, green left eye and red right eye, and rainbow colored wings, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Homura asks, shocked, “How many of these dragons does she have?”

 

Haruka says, with a sly smile, “Not bad, but probably not good enough.”

 

Hikage says, “Sakura’s Natashas have an ability to negate an attack targeting a Ritual Monster.”

 

Haruka says, “And each Natasha has the ability to protect the other.”

 

Suguha says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Shield Crush spell card! One of your monsters in defense mode is now sent packing!” The defense mode Natasha screams out as she shatters into pieces. Suguha shouts out, “Odd-Eyes Phantasma, attack her other Natasha now! And when Odd-Eyes Phantasma attacks, your monster loses one thousand attack points for every Pendulum monster in my Extra Deck!”

 

Sakura says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “Not if I stop your dragon right in tracks! I activate my Gravity Bind!” Sakura’s face-down card is revealed to be the Gravity Bind continuous trap card and Sakura says, “As long as this remains on the field, monsters that are level four or higher can’t attack!” Just then a gravity field stops all of Suguha’s Odd-Eyes monsters, minus Mirage Dragon, and Sakura’s own Cyber Angel Natasha.

 

Suguha says, “That goes the same for your Natasha.”

 

Sakura says, with a sly smile, “True, but I have other ways to get things done.”

 

Suguha thinks in her mind, “I don’t like the sound of that.” Suguha says, putting three cards into the main slot of her disk, “I end my turn with three cards face-down.”

 

Sakura says, drawing a card, “My turn!” Sakura says, putting one card on her disk, “I summon Cyber Tutu in attack mode!” Just then Cyber Tutu (1000/800) appears on the field in attack mode and Sakura says, “And since there aren’t any monsters on your side of the field that have less attack points than Tutu, she can attack your life-points directly!”

 

Cyber Tutu rushes in to attack Suguha and Suguha says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “I don’t think so! I activate my Defense Draw trap!” Suguha’s face-down card trap card is Defense Draw trap card and Suguha says, “Thanks to this card, I don’t suffer damage and I get a new card!” A shield protects Suguha from Cyber Tutu’s attack and afterwards, she draws a card from her deck.

 

Sakura says, “I guess that’s enough for me.”

 

Suguha says, drawing a card, “Then it is my move!” Suguha says, “Your trap card might have stopped most of my dragons, but Mirage Dragon is a level three and that means you dancer is about to get burned!”

 

Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon prepares to attack, but Sakura says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “Not with my Kunai with Chain!” Sakura’s next face-down card is revealed to be the Kunai with Chain trap card and massive bladed weapon on the chain bursts out in which it wraps around Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon with Sakura saying, “This forces your Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon to defense mode and now, I equip to Tutu to boost her attack points by five hundred!” Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon switches from attack to defense mode while Cyber Tutu goes from 1000/800 to 1500/800 due to the effect of the trap card equipped to her.

 

Suguha says, “Now, you can’t attack me directly since your Tutu has more attack points than my Mirage.”

 

Sakura says, with a grin, “That could change you know.”

 

Suguha says, putting one card on her disk, “We’ll see! I play White Wing Magician in defense mode to end my turn!” White Wing Magician (1600/1400) appears on the field in defense mode.

 

Sakura says, drawing a card, “My turn! I draw!” Sakura says, putting one card on her disk, “Now, I summon Cyber Gymnast in defense mode!” Soon after, Cyber Gymnast (800/1800) appears on the field in defense mode and Sakura says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I play my Stop Defense and force your Mirage Dragon back to attack mode!” Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon then switches from defense mode back to attack mode and Sakura says, discarding one card from her hand, “Then I activate Cyber Gymnast’s ability and discard one card to destroy your Mirage Dragon!” Cyber Gymnast’s eyes glow and she leaps into the sky in which she drops kicks Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon causing it to howl as it is destroyed. Sakura says, drawing two new cards, “By the way, the card that I discarded was another Card of Compensation! So, it means two brand new cards for me!”

 

Suguha says, pushing a button of her disk’s touch screen, “Good for me! Time to turn the tables since I activate my Talisman of Reversal!” Suguha’s face-down card is revealed to be another Talisman of Reversal trap card and Suguha says, drawing half-a-dozen cards, “The card basically explains itself since you used it on me! Turnabout is fair play!”

 

The blond haired young lady in green maid-like outfit says, “It looks like the girl got one on our Sakura.”

 

Sakura says, “Very funny, but you won’t like this punchline.” Sakura tells Suguha, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “When you thought of me and what kind of deck I would play? You thought that I would play Amazons or Harpies don’t you? Yeah, I’ve seen in Naruto fanfictions before. And you may have point since I play Harpie’s Feather Duster and blow your cards away!” Just then a powerful wind destroys Suguha’s face-down cards along with two Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zones since they count as spell cards in those zones. Sakura says, “Now, Tutu, show her a real ‘chain dance’!”  Cyber Tutu leaps high into the air, doing a mid-air spin, and the ‘head’ of the chain and sickle that’s the Kunai with Chain slams into Suguha’s chest causing her to stumble in which she yells out in pain as the manacles shock her as she loses 1500 life-points.

 

Hiyori says, worriedly, “Suguha!”

 

Keiko asks, worriedly, “Are you okay?”

 

Sakura says, “She’s just fine. She took worse than this.”

 

Suguha says, with a growl, “Doesn’t mean that it doesn’t hurt like heck!”

 

Sakura says, putting one card into the main slot, “Well, I leave it that and end with a face-down.”

 

Current Scores:

Suguha: 6000

Sakura: 6500

 

Suguha says, drawing a card, “My move! You made a mistaken on not using your Natasha to boost your life-points!”

 

Sakura retorts, with a sly smile, “Oh?”

 

Suguha says, putting one card on her disk, “I play Performapal Coin Dragon!” Just then Performapal Coin Dragon (1700/1000) appears on the field in attack mode and Suguha says, “This dragon’s ability causes other dragons to gain five hundred attack points and can’t be destroyed by card effects, but I need to Overlay him with White Wing Magician creating the Overlay Network!” Both White Wing Magician and Coin Dragon becomes lights that goes into a vortex that appears in the ground while she puts both cards on the same Monster Card Zone of her disk with her putting an XYZ Monster card from her Extra Deck over them.

 

Haruka thinks in her mind, slyly, “Here it comes!”

 

Suguha says, “Formed from pitch-black darkness to fight those foolish enough to oppose its treacherous fangs! I XYZ Summon Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon!” Out of the vortex, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon (2500/2000), with two Dark Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode and Suguha says, “Your Gravity Bind has no effect on Dark Rebellion since it has a RANK not a level. Now, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon’s ability activates! By using its Overlay Units, it can cut the power of one monster on the field in half and Dark Rebellion gains those attack points! Go, Treason Discharge!” Dark Rebellion absorbs its Overlay Units and unleashes dark energy binds on Natasha causing to go from 2500/2500 to 1250/2500 while Dark Rebellion goes up from 2500/2000 to 3750/2000 in which Suguha says, “And now, Dark Rebellion, it is time for Tutu to make her final performance! Attack with Revolt of Lightning Disobey!” Dark Rebellion charges right for Tutu and she yelps as she is cuts down by Dark Rebellion in one strike.

 

Sakura says, pushing a button on her disk, “Activate trap: Hallowed Life Barrier!” Sakura’s face-down card is revealed to be the Hallowed Life Barrier trap card and Sakura says, discarding a card from her hand, “By discarding a card from my hand, my damage goes to zero for this turn!”

 

Suguha says, putting two cards into the main slot of her disk, “I end my turn with a couple of face-downs.”

 

Sakura says, drawing a card, “My move! I draw!” Sakura says, putting one card into the main slot, “This turn, I start off with Card of Burial Magic! By removing three spell cards in my graveyard, I can draw two new cards!” Three cards are removed from the graveyard slot of Sakura’s disk and after putting them ‘out of play’, Sakura draws two cards and she says, “And now, the Natasha in my graveyard activates her ability! By removing another Cyber Angel from my graveyard, I can revive her! I remove my Cyber Angel Benten that I put in my graveyard earlier and revive Natasha!” Sakura removes a Ritual Monster from her disk’s graveyard and Cyber Angel Natasha (1000/1000) returns to Sakura’s field in defense mode in which Sakura says, “And I also take control of one of your monsters! Natasha, bring Dark Rebellion to my side!” Natasha sings some kind of song and Dark Rebellion ‘teleports’ from Suguha’s side of the field to Sakura’s field.

 

Suguha says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch, “Wrong! I activate Remove Brainwashing!” Suguha’s face-down is revealed to be the Remove Brainwashing continuous trap card and Suguha says, “As long as this card remains on the field, all monsters brought out to the field must remain with the ‘owners’ of said monsters!” Soon after, Dark Rebellion goes back to Suguha’s side of the field.

 

Rika says, slyly, “Denied!”

 

Sakura says, discarding a card from her hand, “Then I activate Cyber Gymnast’s ability and eliminate Dark Rebellion!”

 

Suguha says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “Wrong again! I activate Divine Wrath!” Suguha’s face-down card is revealed to be the Divine Wrath counter-trap card and Suguha says, discarding a card from her hand, “By discarding a card from my hand, your monster’s ability is negated and your monster is destroyed!” A lightning bolt from above slams into Cyber Gymnast and she yells out in pain as she is destroyed.

 

Sakura says, putting one card into the main slot, “Okay, I guess I have to go with ‘Plan B’. First, I activate my Magic Planter! By destroying a continuous trap card on my field, I get two new cards! I choose my Gravity Bind!” The ‘image’ of Gravity Bind continuous trap card is destroyed and Sakura draws two cards from her deck.

 

Suguha says, “Now, my monsters are free to attack.”

 

Sakura says, putting one card into the main slot, “They may not get the chance since I play my Machine Angel Ritual spell card! By releasing monsters in my hand and field, I can summon the Ritual Monster in my hand that I want to summon and I choose to release both of my Natashas!” Suguha gives a gasp of shock as both Natashas vanish in a spiral of flames in which Sakura says, putting a Ritual Monster card on her disk, “And now, I play Cyber Angel Vrash in attack mode!” Out of the flames, Cyber Angel Vrash (3000/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Suguha says, with a plain tone, “Not bad, but she can’t beat my monsters.”

 

Sakura says, with a grin, “You might want to think again since when summoned, she destroys all Extra Deck monsters on your field!” Suguha gasps in shock and Vrash unleashes golden energy balls that destroy Dark Rebellion.

 

Suguha yells out, shocked, “Dark Rebellion!” Suguha then yelps out in pain as she is shocked as she loses 1000 life-points.

 

Sakura says, with a sly smile, “Oops! I forgot to mention that you lose one grand in life-points for each monster destroyed in such a manner.” Sakura says, “I should also mention that this also allows my monster to attack twice this turn! Angel Vrash, take out Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!” Vrash fires a beam of golden energy from her energy that destroys Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and Suguha yelps out in pain again as she shocked, once more, while losing 500 more life-points. Sakura says, “And now, Vrash, it is time to take out Phantasma Dragon!”

 

Suguha says, surprised, “But our monster’s power is equal! They will destroy each other!” Both Odd-Eyes Phantasma Dragon and Vrash attack each other at the same time.

 

Sakura says, removing a card in her graveyard, “Machine Angel Ritual has another effect! When a Light monster on my field is about to be destroyed, I can remove it from play to protect it!” The two attacks collide in a massive explosion, but while Vrash is protected by a shield, Odd-Eyes Phantasma Dragon is destroyed. Sakura says, putting two cards into the main slot of her disk, “Next, I place two cards face-down!”

 

Current Scores:

Suguha: 4500

Sakura: 6500

 

Suguha says, drawing a card, “My move! I draw!”

 

Hikage says, “She doesn’t have much in the way of ability to attack. Their current monsters’ power is equal.”

 

Haruka says, with a sly smile, “Maybe. Maybe not, Hikage.”

 

Suguha says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate Monster Reborn! I use it to revive Dark Rebellion!” Soon after, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon (2500/2000) returns to the field in attack mode and Suguha says, putting one more card into the main slot of her disk, “Next, I activate the spell card, The Phantom Knights’ Rank-Up-Magic Launch! This cards allows me to use a Dark XYZ Monster with no Overlay Units and rank it up to an XYZ Monster that’s one rank higher with that XYZ Monster and this card! With Dark Rebellion and this spell card, I rebuild the Overlay Network! Go, Rank-Up XYZ Evolution!” Dark Rebellion turns into a beam of light that goes into a vortex in the sky while Suguha puts an XYZ Monster card from her Extra Deck on top of Dark Rebellion’s card on her duel disk causing her to say, “From the depth of Purgatory, sing the songs of rebellion dedicated to restless souls! Let it echo for all eternity and appear! Awaken, Dark Requiem XYZ Dragon!” Out of the vortex, Dark Requiem XYZ Dragon (3000/2500), with two Dark Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode. Suguha says, “And now, I use Dark Requiem’s ability and remove an Overlay Unit to drain your Vrash of her power while giving said power to Dark Requiem!” Dark Requiem absorbs ones of its Overlay Units and Suguha says, “Go, Requiem Salvation!” Dar Requiem then binds Cyber Angel Vrash in which her stats go from 3000/2000 to 0/2000 while Dark Requiem goes from 3000/2500 to 6000/2500 in which Suguha says, “Now, take down her Vrash!” Dark Requiem flies up and its wings become like a rainbow stain glass window in which Suguha shouts out, “Requiescent Disaster Disobey!”

 

Dark Requiem then dives down on Vrash and Sakura says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “I activate my trap: Impenetrable Attack!” Sakura’s face-down card is then revealed to be the Impenetrable Attack trap card and Sakura says, “Thanks to this card, none of my monsters can be destroyed by battle this turn!”

 

Suguha says, seriously, “But you still take the damage!” A shield protects Cyber Angel Vrash from Dark Requiem, but the shockwaves slam into Sakura before she screams out in pain and agony as she is shocked by her manacles as she loses 6000 life-points.

 

Homura asks, surprised, “Whoa! Are you okay, girl?”

 

Haruka responds, with a sly smile, “Seriously? You are asking her that question? Sakura is a tough girl. This is nothing to her.” After the shocking stops, Sakura breaths heavily and she just smirks at Suguha causing her to get a bit unnerved.

 

Sakura says, with a smirk, “Why are you so surprised? Did you really the manga about our world at all? I was trained by Lady Tsunade, one of the legendary ninja of the Leaf, and do you really think that someone like her, the Fifth Hokage, would train me with ‘training wheels’? No fucking way! She was harsh and brutal and that’s what helped me to become a better kunoichi! A medical ninja has to remain alive to save the lives of her fellow shinobi and that means that they need to be tough! To withstand hits as well as avoiding them! So, this is nothing compared to my sensei’s training!”

 

Suguha says, putting two cards into the main slot, “I get it. I end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Suguha: 4500

Sakura: 500

 

Sakura says, drawing a card, “My move! I switch Vrash from attack to defense mode.” Cyber Angel Vrash then switches from attack mode to defense mode and Sakura says, “And now, I remove one Natasha from play to return the other to the field!” A card comes out of the graveyard slot of Sakura’s disk and Cyber Angel Natasha (1000/1000) returns to the field in defense mode.

 

Suguha says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “I don’t think so! I activate my Darklight trap card!” Suguha’s face-down card is revealed to be the Darklight trap card and Suguha says, “By releasing one Dark monster that has fifteen hundred attack points or more, all special summoned monsters that were summoned this turn are gone! I release Odd-Eyes Advanced Dragon!” Odd-Eyes Advanced Dragon vanishes with a dark violet ‘light’ which causes Cyber Ange Natasha to vanish.

 

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

 

Suguha says, drawing a card, “My turn!” Suguha says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Fairy Meteor Crush equip spell! Now, my Dark Requiem can cause damage to you despite Vrash being in defense mode.”

 

Rika says, excitedly, “She has got this!”

 

Suguha yells out, “It’s over! Dark Requiem, end this duel now!” Dark Requiem flies up and divebombs Vrash in which Suguha shouts out, “Requiescent Disaster Disobey!”

 

As Dark Requiem attacks Vrash, Sakura says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “This isn’t over yet! I activate my Gift Card trap card!” Sakura’s face-down card is revealed to be the Gift Card trap card and Sakura says, “And now, you gain three thousand life-points!”

 

As Suguha glows as her life-points boost by 3000 points, she asks, “That’s pointless! Why would you do that?!”

 

Sakura says, with a sly smirk while pushing another button on her disk’s touch screen, “This is why! I activate my Self-Destruct Button trap card!” Sakura’s final face-down card is revealed to be the Self-Destruct Button trap card and Sakura says, “Since your life-points are seven thousand over mine, both of us automatically lose all of our life-points now!” There are gasps of shock as a device with a button that has a skull mark on it appears in Sakura’s hands and she pushes it causing a massive explosion all over the field causing an immense amount of dust to spread all over the field in which both Suguha and Sakura yell out as they are shocked as their life-points hit zero at the same time.

 

Final Score:

Suguha: 0 (tie)

Sakura: 0 (tie)

 

As the duel comes to an end, the smoke and dust clear to see both Suguha and Sakura collapses on the ground with Suguha on her hands and knees with Sakura on her right knee.

 

Hiyori says, worriedly, “Suguha!”

 

Agumon (Suguha) says, “Boss!” Immediately, Suguha’s two Digimon partners go over to Suguha and they remove the manacles from her while Haruka goes over to Sakura in which she does the same.

 

Haruka says, with a sly smile, “Nice. Even through you didn’t win, you didn’t lose either, but that’s also a win for us.”

 

Sakura asks, with a groan, “Oh, really?”

 

Just then a familiar male voice says, “I’m not sure that I can say so.” Everyone then looks to the source of the voice to see none other than Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze and Hinata Hyuga with Hiyori, Shion, Keiko, and Rika, as the ropes keeping them bound are cut and fall to the ground.

 

Haruka says, a bit nervously, “N-Naruto-kun!”

 

Naruto asks, with a sigh, “What am I going to do with you?”

 

Homura says, a bit nervous in her tone, “Come on, Naruto-kun, they were spying on her…”

 

Naruto responds, interrupting, “Yes, spying on her and not on us. And you know how I feel about this.” Naruto snaps his fingers and just then legions of his Shadow Clone ‘pop’ out of the shadows in which they grab Haruka, Hikage, Homura, Yomi, and Sakura where they put seals on them.

 

Homura yells out, “Hey! I can’t move!”

 

Naruto says, with a sly smile, “That’s the point.”

 

Sakura yells out, “Hey, why me? I didn’t agree with what they did!”

 

Naruto tells Sakura, with a sly smile, “But you didn’t stop them. You are stronger than that.”

 

Sakura tells Naruto, “Come on, Naruto-kun, you baka! You know darn well as I do that they are so stubborn it would be back and forth all day and getting us nowhere!”

 

Naruto says, “While I approved this duel…” This widens Suguha’s, her Digimon partner’s, and her friends’ eyes and Naruto says, continuing, “…in order to knock some sense into Suguha-san to see why she isn’t responsible for that so-called ‘friend’ of hers. I didn’t approve of taking hostages like that. While I have ‘grown up’, there are certain parts of my ninja way that I won’t ‘put in the dumpster’, believe it.”

 

Sakura yells out, in disbelief, “Oh, come on!”

 

When Sakura looks at Hinata, she gives a sweet smile that looks like the Hinata Hyuga seen in anime and manga, but plenty can see a mischievousness for the usually shy and mainly ‘proper’ yet inwardly strong, ‘Hyuga princess’ in which Hinata says, with said sweet yet mischievous smile, “Sorry, Sakura-chan, but they say that you do the crime…”

 

Sakura says, annoyed, “Traitor!”

 

Naruto says, with a sly smirk, “Now, Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan is right.” Naruto calls out, seemly to no one, “Right, Mirai-chan?”

 

Just then a high-pitched female voice says, “No fucking kidding!” Everyone looks to see another young lady come out of the shadows.

 

This young lady is a short black haired girl in gothic Lolita fashion. She wears a black, white and dark teal frilled dress and bonnet with cat ears, cat tail, and what looks like black angel wings on her back. She wears white stockings and black dress shoes with black ring anklets with cat heads. She carries a European style umbrella that matches her dress in design, and she wears a black eye-patch with red tomoe over her left eye.

 

The short black haired girl says, with a smirk, “You, girls, should have fucking known better and now, it is time for your punishment.”

 

Homura shouts out, “You wouldn’t dare, you little twerp!”

 

The short black haired girl yells out, “I damn well going to!” She then says, looking at Sakura, “And I’ve got a bone to pick with you, Forehead! You dare leave me behind and join the ‘busty brigade’!”

 

Sakura responds, “It isn’t like I did on purpose! And don’t give me that Mirai. You and I know all too well that you would have jumped to look sixteen year old girl that you are and left me behind to remain as flat as a washboard!”

 

The short black haired girl, Mirai, retort, “That was then and this is now!” Mirai then gives a wicked smirk and she says, “And now, it is time for your punishment. It is going to be a barrel of laughs!” Mirai then gives an evil laugh as she snaps her fingers and Naruto carries Homura, Hikage, Yomi, Haruka, and Sakura off in which Homura and Sakura scream out causing Hiyori, Rika, Keiko, and Suguha, removing the manacles on her, to gain nervous looks while Shion looks as impassive as ever.

 

Naruto asks, with a sigh, “What am I going to do with them?”

 

Hinata tells Naruto, with a warm smile, “You know how they are, Naruto-kun.”

 

Keiko says, amazed, “I can’t believe it…”

 

Hiyori asks, “Are you really…?”

 

Naruto says, with a bow, “Yep! Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze in the flesh, believe it!” Naruto says, pointing to Hinata, “And this lovely beauty is Hinata Hyuga.”

 

Hinata tells Naruto, with a giggle, “Naruto-kun…”

 

Hinata kisses Naruto on the cheek and Rika says, with a grin, “Seems like the two that we know.”

 

Shion says, plainly, “But not exactly the same from those in our world’s anime and manga.”

 

Naruto says, with a nod, “No joke.” Naruto then takes out a manga based on his world and he says, “This might be based on our world and our lives, but this is just fiction. We’re reality.”

 

Hinata says, “Anyway, it is nice to meet you.”

 

Shion says, “Forgive us if we don’t feel the same way since you just said that you agreed to Sakura dueling with Suguha in that way.”

 

Naruto says, with a nod, “True, but that was to knock some sense in Suguha-san to get her to see the light about her so-called ‘friend’, Yuuko.”

 

Suguha gives a surprised look for a second and she says, “You know, I shouldn’t be surprised that you know that stuff.”

 

Naruto says, with a grin, “We’re shinobi. Info is one of our bread and butter, believe it!” Naruto tells Suguha, “And we have plenty to prove it…Celestial-chan.”

 

There are gasps of shock from Hiyori, Rika, and Keiko, but Suguha and Shion aren’t surprised and Shion says, “You know who she is. It is safe to say that you know about all of us.”

 

Naruto says, with a smile, “Bingo.” Naruto tells Hiyori, Rika, Keiko, and Shion, “While I did approve of this duel, just to get some sense knocked into Suguha-san, I didn’t approve of you being held hostage. Sorry about that.”

 

Hinata says, with a smile, “Haruka and the others are just really devoted to their jobs.”

 

Rika says, bluntly, “I’ll say.”

 

Suguha says, “Well, it doesn’t mean that I’m happy going through that.”

 

Naruto tells Suguha, plainly, “Sorry, Suguha-chan, but you tend to be too stubborn about things and you are taking this ‘blame game’ a bit too far.”

 

Rika says, with a nod, “You have a point.”

 

Suguha asks Rika, surprised, “Hey, you are agreeing with him?”

 

Rika tells Suguha, with a stern tone, “Well, he has a point.”

 

Naruto then says, “You should listen to your friends, Suguha-chan.” When Suguha looks at Naruto, she is surprised to see him use what looks like a real OC deadly serious look and he says, “That girl isn’t your friend and she made her choice a long time ago. You don’t need to be responsible for her and if you are, you are responsible for putting her down…for good. And if you say that I don’t know what I’m talking about, does the name Sasuke Uchiha mean anything to you? Personally, I should have realized the truth about the damn Teme a long time ago, but better late than never I suppose.”

 

Hinata tells Naruto, “Naruto-kun, you are a good person.”

 

Naruto says, “Yeah, I know, Hinata-chan.” Naruto tells Suguha, “Like the Teme, she choose revenge over anything else including friendship. If she cared about you at all, she wouldn’t have lied to you that day. She only cared about her agenda and she used you to get what she wanted just like Sasuke did with me. All he cares about his revenge and power to do it.” Naruto pouts to the manga based on his world that he is holding and he says, “And this doesn’t count. This is fantasy. We’re reality. And in reality, I intend to make sure that I do what I should have done and stop the Teme before his revenge dominated mind NEVER hurts anyone else again. I got lucky, believe it. Other people may not so.”

 

Hinata then says, “And with Sakura-chan, she ‘grew up’ and she came to her senses. She had Naruto-kun promise to forget that promise on the day that Sasuke defected from the Leaf Village.”

 

Needless to say, Suguha, Hiyori, Rika, Keiko, and Shion are shocked and Rika says, amazed, “Whoa! That was a surprising!”

 

Naruto says, “What can I say? Like I said before, we grew up, though it doesn’t mean that we are RADICALLY different. We are still mainly the same people. I do intend to go back home and save my world since they are a TON of people worth saving from that nut, Madara, and Kaguya. Old Man Six Path’s nutjob mom isn’t even going to get the chance to be ‘reborn’.” Naruto says, with a grin, “Let’s just say that I found a few ways to make sure of that.”

 

Suguha thinks in her mind, “Something tells me to believe him because this is Naruto that we are talking about after all.”

 

Naruto tells Suguha, “However, this isn’t about me, but this is about you, Suguha-chan. Like I told you, you can’t hold back against Yuuko-san and you especially can’t let her dominate your thoughts. You do that and you let her beat you in which you CAN’T let her do that for so many reasons. No joke. So, you have to choose: The so-called ‘friend’…” Naruto then points to Hiyori, Rika, Keiko, and Shion and he tells Suguha, “Or your TRUE friends and family who you will put in danger by letting that girl get to you?”

 

Shion says, “As am I much annoyed by what happened…” Shion glares at Naruto and Hinata, which unnerves even them, but Shion says, “…They have a point. A point that we keep trying to put across you.”

 

Suguha flinches from that and Naruto says, with a grin, “Not exactly easy with Suguha-chan since she is really stubborn about these things.”

 

Hinata giggles and she tells Naruto, “Naruto-kun…Look who is calling the kettle black.” Naruto gives an embarrassed expression and he rubs his head in embarrassment causing Keiko and Rika to giggle at this.

 

Naruto clears his throat and he says, “Anyway, to pay for this, we will treat you to a nice lunch.” Naruto says, looking at Suguha while glancing at Hiyori, Keiko, Rika, and Shion, “But before you say anything, this isn’t to pick up anyone. I know better than to mess with your brother’s waifus.”

 

Hiyori, Keiko, Rika, and Shion blush at this and Shion says, a bit nervously, “W-Where do you come off with that? You have got some nerve.”

 

Naruto retorts, with a grin, “So says the tsundere with the blush on her cheeks.” Shion growls at Naruto in which Keiko and Rika have to restrain her a bit.

 

Rika tells Shion, “Do you really think that you can do anything even with your Sailor Scout powers?”

 

Hinata tells Suguha, “I think that your brother is a great person. He reminds me of Naruto-kun quite a bit.”

 

Naruto tells Hinata, “Come on, Hinata-chan. Suguha-chan’s bro is a nice dude, but we aren’t alike.”

 

Hinata replies, slyly, “Oh. Helping out people whenever possible for no true rewards, helping a lot of girls causing them to fall in love…”

 

Naruto gives a nervous expression and yelp in which Rika says, with a sly smile and a giggle, “And remaining clueless to the girls’ feelings. That sounds quite familiar.” Hinata and Rika share quite a few giggles.

 

Naruto clears his throat and he says, changing topics, “Anyway, we can also discuss about that information that Suguha-chan wants.”

 

Suguha asks, surprised, “What?”

 

Hinata says, “Sakura-chan wasn’t lying.”

 

Suguha asks, shocked, “You mean…?!”

 

Naruto says, “I may be a shinobi, but my ninja way and lying don’t go really well together unless it threatens my precious people and what I believe in, believe it. We do have information on Neo Paradius. No joke.” Naruto asks, kindly, “So, what do you say?”

 

There is silence for several seconds and Suguha says, with a nod, “Okay.”

 

Naruto tells Suguha, with a kind smile, “I hope that we can start off a bit better.”

 

Suguha tells Naruto, “Well, we’ll see about that.”

 

Naruto tells Suguha, “I don’t blame you for being defensive, Suguha-chan. Hopefully, we’ll get off on the right foot.”

 

Keiko asks, “By the way, what’s going to happen with…?!”

 

Just then they hear loud female voices laughing and Rika asks, “What the?!”

 

Soon after, Sakura’s voice booms, “HA…HA…NARUTO…YOU BAKA…WHEN I GET OUT OF THIS…YOU ARE SO…*uncontrollable laughter*…DEAD…DO YOU HEAR ME…*uncontrollable laughter*…?!!”

 

Naruto says, “That would be Sakura-chan and the others’ ‘punishment’. A variation on Chinese tickle torture.”

 

Hiyori asks, surprised, “Tickle torture?”

 

Hinata says, with a kind smile, “Naruto-kun isn’t a big fan on torture, but tickle torture can be quite punishing.”

 

Naruto says, “No joke. I would NEVER go THAT far, but do you see what that guy in American manga does? I think that they call him the ‘Joker’.” Naruto says, shaking nervously, “Geez! I get the shivers thinking about him. I thought that Orochimaru was creepy, but that America manga villain really takes the cake. Laughing until you die and making it that you die with a super-creepy smile on your face? I had nightmares for days. It makes me wonder what these American writers were on.”

 

Hinata says, with a kind smile, “I don’t think that they would like to hear that, Naruto-kun. Like it or not, he is a ‘popular’ villain.”

 

Naruto says, “Yeah, I know, Hinata-chan, but personally, I prefer the guy that beats the crud out of him to that guy. It makes you wonder why a lot of people don’t like clowns. That Batman guy might be emo like the Teme, but he is completely different from the Teme since he focuses his ‘vengeance’ in the right sort of way unlike Sasuke, who just wants to lash out with his anger at everyone that pisses him off.”

 

Hinata says, with a nod, “Understandable, Naruto-kun.”

 

As they hear the uncontrollable laughter from Sakura, Homura, Haruka, Hikage, and Yomi, Hiyori asks, nervously, “Are you going to leave them like that?”

 

Naruto says, with a smile, “Not for too long, but enough for them to learn their lesson.” Suguha, Hiyori, Keiko, Rika, and Suguha’s two Digimon partners can’t help to give nervous looks at that.

 

May 24, 2026, Hiroshima

 

On the meanwhile, in the city of Hiroshima, we find Sammy Tsukino, younger ‘Earth brother’ to our Moon Princess, and Molly Baker AKA Sailor Nebula are inside of the famous Rest House of the Hiroshima Peace Park where they put down bouquets of flowers.

 

Sammy asks Molly, “Are you sure that it is here?”

 

Molly, holding what looks like a compact, says, with a nod, “I’m certain, Sammy.”

 

The two of them are looking around and Sammy says, “I’m not surprising that they would use a place like this.”

 

Molly says, “There is a lot of emotional energy around Hiroshima.”

 

Sammy says, with a plain tone, “It isn’t surprising with what happened.”

 

Molly says, solemnly, “Death, destruction, pain, agony, anguish…The amount of negative and ‘dark’ emotions unleashed that day combined with that weapon…” Molly says, “While I’m not supporting what happened, you also have to realize that both sides wanted to end the war on their terms.”

 

Sammy says, nodding his head, “And neither wanted to back down. Unstoppable force meet immoveable object or close to it.”

 

Molly says, with a sigh, “However, even today, people are still cause such tragedies.”

 

Sammy says, “Yeah, but they are doing for self-righteous or just plain selfish reasons.”

 

There is a light ‘beeping’ sound coming from the compact and Molly tells Sammy, “I found it.”

 

Sammy says, looking around, “Are you sure? There is nothing here.” Molly then looks around to see if anyone is watching them and when she finds that they aren’t being watched, she goes over to a wall, pushes against the wall causing a panel to slide inwards, and a small trapdoor slides open from the floor causing Sammy’s eyes to widen in surprise.

 

Molly says, with a smile, “I’m sure.” The two of them then quickly go down the trapdoor where it closes behind them and they find themselves within a massive underground facility and it looks recently built.

 

Sammy says, “This looks recently built.”

 

Molly says, “It is.” Molly then looks at the wall and she says, looking a logo of some kind, “And it looks like it was made by UNI-SHOCKER.”

 

Sammy says, “It seems to be in good condition.”

 

Molly says, “They evacuated our world quickly and they wouldn’t have time to empty and destroy everything.”

 

Sammy says, “Which means that anyone could get access any sort of dangerous tech or artifact.”

 

Molly says, “From the reports, it seems like this Neo Paradius organization already has.”

 

Sammy says, “Man! Doesn’t that girl care that Meatball Head was trapped in there too? She lived through horror and she may have seen him die in there!”

 

Molly tells Sammy, with a kind tone, “Easy, Sammy. We’re all concerned for her.”

 

Sammy says, with a sigh, “I knew that Serena’s trauma was deep, but I didn’t realize it was SO deep.”

 

Molly says, “It isn’t too surprising. People that go through such traumatic experience may just ‘seal them away’. A ‘mental defense’.”

 

Sammy says, “Anyway, I think that it is time to put an end to this. Let’s end this, so, we can put SAO to bed for good where Meatball Head and I can finally sleep at night without one eye open.”

 

Molly says, “Sammy…”

 

Sammy says, with a sigh, “I’m tired of living in the shadow of ‘that man’ and he has haunted my family ever since he started SAO. Hopefully, we can finally put to rest this ‘ghost’.”

 

Molly says, with a nod, “I hope so, too, Sammy.” Molly and Sammy then head through the underground facility where they find a locked door with a keypad on it.

 

Sammy says, with a groan, “This is just great.”

 

Molly says, with a smile, “Don’t worry, I’ve got this.”

 

Sammy asks, curiously, “You do?”

 

Molly says, with a smile, “Yes.” Molly then takes out another compact, blows ‘dust’ onto the keypad, and like what is seen on television, the ‘dust’ causes impressions of fingerprints to form on the keys in which she says, with a smile, “And they say that this only works on television and the movies.” Molly then pushes the keypads that have the fingerprints on them in a certain order and the door opens immediately in which Molly and Sammy enter to find what looks like a high-tech lab with glass capsules that have strange ‘items’ floating in the air.

 

Sammy asks, confused, “What the heck is this?”

 

Molly says, looking at some of the items, “Some of them look similar to our henshin items as Sailor Scouts.”

 

Sammy asks, surprised, “Really?”

 

Molly says, with a nod, “Yes, but their energies feel…different.”

 

Sammy asks, “Different? Like how?”

 

Molly says, curiously, “Well, the energies in them are mystical in nature, but their energies are different from those that we, Sailor Scouts, use…” Just then Molly yells out as she is grabbed by mechanical ‘tentacles’ that come out from the walls and they restrain her to the roof.

 

Sammy says, shocked, “Molly!”

 

Just then a male voice says, “Look what the cat dragged in.”

 

Molly thinks in her mind, with a gasp, “That voice…”

 

Just then the male voice says, “Or maybe I should say, look what curiosity did to these two cats.” Out of the shadows, none other than Nephrite comes out.

 

Molly says, shocked, “Nephrite!”

 

Sammy asks, “You know this guy?”

 

Nephrite says, “Indeed, she does. From two lifetimes in fact.”

 

Molly asks, shocked, “You…You remember?”

 

Nephrite says, “I do now. Now, I understand why my crystal was reacting to you. Somehow, it has become tuned to your still suppressed powers at the time in which they were so suppressed that they couldn’t be awakened by my crystal. If I had known, I would have taken you to my queen myself.”

 

Molly says, “Beryl is dead, Nephrite! You have no need to serve her anymore!”

 

Nephrite says, “Dead or alive. I am who I am.”

 

Molly yells out, with tears forming in her eyes, “Do you betray your prince, again, Nephrite?! Do you betray me?!”

 

Nephrite says, sternly, “It was your people that started this, Molly! They held such power for themselves especially the sister of your childhood friend in two lifetimes!”

 

Molly says, “Selene would never abuse her power in any sort of way and Aincrad was a way to bring all of us together which was perverted by…!!”

 

Nephrite says, interrupting, “The time for talking is over, Molly.” Nephrite says, looking at Sammy, “Our prince was a fool to allow himself to be seduced by your childhood friend in two lifetimes, who is currently this human’s elder sister…”

 

Molly says, interrupting, “Leave Sammy alone, Nephrite! He isn’t involved with the Silver Millennium!”

 

Nephrite says, “No, not this one. However, I know what happened with UNI-SHOCKER and how an alternate Sailor Moon, before she died, granted HER brother the ability to use the power of the Silver Crystal which shows that she really cares about him. And right now, my new…leader desires to use him.”

 

Sammy says, “Sorry, but I’m not a pawn in anyone’s game!”

 

Sammy takes out his new morpher, but Nephrite says, “We’ll see.” Nephrite then uses some kind of ‘dark energy’ that hits Sammy’s morpher and he yelps as dark energy sparks from it in which Nephrite says, “I was informed of your new powers and we have knowledge on how to ‘deactivate’ them.”

 

Sammy says, nervously, “Oh, crap.” Molly, on the meanwhile, then shakes around as much as she can causing her two compacts to drop to the ground and both of them open up.

 

Nephrite tells her, “Struggling is useless, my dear.”

 

Molly asks Nephrite, with a sly smile, “Really, Nephrite.” Nephrite then gives a confused look and then, in a flash, the Sailor Scouts, minus Celestial, Star, and Orion, Tuxedo Mask, and the Digidestined with their Digimon partners appear right in the room causing Nephrite to look in shock.

 

Sailor Mercury asks, stunned, “Nephrite?”

 

Nephrite and Sammy look at Molly in shock causing her just to smile and Sailor Moon says, seeing Molly, “Molly!”

 

Sailor Moon leaps up to help her childhood friend, but Nephrite says, “I wouldn’t do that princess.”

 

Sailor Moon stops and turns to Nephrite in which Tuxedo Mask tells Nephrite, “So, you know?”

 

Nephrite tells Tuxedo Mask, “All too well, my former prince.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Beryl is dead.”

 

Nephrite says, “It is true, but you know my allegiance.”

 

Tuxedo Mask yells out, strongly, “You continued to betray me and your world, Nephrite?!”

Nephrite responds, strongly, “You have done that first by allowing yourself to get swooned by the wiles of that wretched moon vixen, knowing of the power that they…or abused.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “The Silver Alliance NEVER abused any power.”

 

Nephrite asks, “Oh, really?” Nephrite says, glaring at Sailor Moon, “What about her sister? Sailor Celestial, the one with the ‘power’ that gave birth to everything and everyone even those ‘on high’. A power that none should possess.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, sternly, “She would never…!!!”

 

Sailor Uranus tells Tuxedo Mask, interrupting, “Tuxedo Mask…Prince Endymon, do you really think that he will listen?”

 

Tuxedo Mask becomes silent and Nephrite says, plainly, “The time for talk is over.” Nephrite says, attaching a Chaos Duel Disk used by Neo Paradius to his left wrist, “I think that we should settle it with the modern version of the Shadow Games of Ancient Egypt. And for reasons, Molly’s binds will inject her with an instant kill poison that instant that you even touch her. She will only be released if you win.”

 

There are gasps of shock and Sailor Moon yells out, angrily, “How could you, Nephrite?! After what happened between you and Molly?! How could you do this to her?!”

 

Nephrite closes his eyes and he says, “That was then and this is now, princess.” Nephrite says, “You and your brother will fight my assistant and I or she will pay the prince. No discussions.”

 

Sammy asks, curiously, “Partner?”

 

Just then a female voice shouts out, “He means me, brat!” Out of the shadows, none other than Emerald of the Negamoon walks out.

 

Sailor Moon asks, shocked, “Emerald?!”

 

Emerald responds, “That’s right, Moon brat. I’m back from revenge. You lead my Prince Diamond to his demise with your wicked charms.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “You don’t understand. Diamond…”

 

Emerald yells out, strongly, “Enough of your lies!” Emerald attaches a Chaos Duel Disk to her left wrist and Emerald says, with an evil smile, “I will enjoy making you suffer especially since I know that you are Small Lady’s mother, the wretched queen of Crystal Tokyo.”

 

Nephrite says, “A future that won’t be when we are done.”

 

Sammy takes out an orange Real Solid Vision duel disk from a sub-space pocket and he says, “I don’t think that they want sit down for tea, Meatball Head!”

 

Sailor Venus asks, “Where did you get that sub-space pocket?” Sammy gives a look that says: ‘Are you kidding me?’ He then attaches the duel disk to his left wrist and insets a decking deck inside in which Emerald and Nephrite does the same. Sailor Moon takes out her Real Solid Vision duel disk, attaches it to her armored left wrist, and inserts a dueling deck inside.

 

Emerald says, with an evil smile, “I can’t wait for you to feel my pain.” Soon after, Nephrite, Emerald, Sailor Moon, and Sammy activate their duel disks causing their decks to get automatically shuffled as their disk’s ‘energy blades’, the ones containing their Monster and Pendulum Zones appears, and their disk’s life-point counters display 8000 life-points for each pair of duelists.

 

Sailor Sun asks, “Isn’t there anything that we can do?”

 

Gatomon says, “I don’t think so.”

 

Sailor Moon and Sammy say in unison, “Game on!”

 

Starting Scores:

Sailor Moon and Sammy: 8000

Nephrite and Emerald: 8000

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, “How were they able to bring back those two?”

 

Sailor Venus asks, “Plus, didn’t Emerald die when we were traveling from our time into the timeline of Crystal Tokyo? How is that possible?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “That’s what I will need to investigate.”

 

Emerald tells Sailor Moon, with a wicked smile, “This shall be so perfect. Making you slowly suffer by using a game. Oh, yes, I know about SAO.” There are shocked looks and Emerald says, “In fact, in the future, it is well-known historical event.”

 

Sailor Venus asks, curiously, “It is?”

 

Emerald says, with an evil smile, “Too bad that you won’t learn about since you are about to be history too!”

 

Sailor Moon says, “We’ll see Emerald!”

 

Nephrite says, “In this duel, you will have more to worry about than a simple evil seal. In this duel, you will be facing your worst nightmares.”

 

Davis says, “That doesn’t sound good.”

 

Sailor Mars says, nervously, “I sense a powerful dark energy all around.”

 

Emerald says, with an evil smile, “I hope that you are watching carefully. I can’t wait to see your looks of horror as your precious formerly future queen get dethroned in the most painful manner.”

 

Palmon says, “She’s scary.”

 

TK says, “Twisted is more like it.”

 

Nephrite says, “You should start off, your majesty. You are going to need a head start.”

 

Molly thinks in her mind, solemnly, “Nephrite…”

 

Sailor Moon says, drawing a card, “Fine! My turn! I draw!” Sailor Moon says, displaying Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (2500/2000) and Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon (1200/600) Pendulum Monster cards, “I set the scale four, Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon, and scale eight, Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon, on the Pendulum Scale!” She puts the said cards on her disk’s Pendulum Zones causing the word ‘Pendulum’ in rainbow colors to appear on her disk’s Monster Card Zones in which both said monsters appear in two columns of light, one monster per column, with the number 4 below Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon and number 8 below Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon. As a crystal pendulum appears swinging between both monsters, Sailor Moon says, “With this, I can summon monsters that are level five through seven this turn! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Sailor Moon says, putting a card on her disk, “And it is time for a third Odd-Eyes! The original Odd-Eyes Dragon!” A circle of light appears on the field, a beam of ‘light’ comes from it, and that ‘light’ is revealed to be Odd-Eyes Dragon (2500/2000) in attack mode. Sailor Moon says, putting another card on her disk, “By reducing Odd-Eyes’ level by three, I can special summon Nobledragon Magician!” Just then Nobledragon Magician (700/1400) appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Moon says, “And now, I tune my level three, Nobledragon Magician, with my, now, level four, Odd-Eyes Dragon!” Nobledragon Magician turns into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Odd-Eyes Dragon, turning it transparent, and creating a column of light as Sailor Moon takes out a Synchro Monster card from her Extra Deck in which she says, “Celestial flames gather here, burn with the flame of a dragon’s star! Synchro Summon!” Sailor Moon puts the Synchro Monster card on her duel disk and she says, “Time to blaze like a comet…Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon!” Out of the light, Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Moon says, “Due to Odd-Eyes Meteorburst’s ability, when Synchro Summoned, I can target one monster in my Pendulum Zone and bring it to the field, but Odd-Eyes can’t attack that turn, however, since I can’t attack this turn, it works out! So, blaze onto the field, Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!” Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (2500/2000) vanishes from its Pendulum Zone and appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Davis says, excitedly, “Awesome! Two dragons for the price of one!”

 

Sailor Moon says, putting two cards into the main slot of her disk, “I end my turn with two face-downs!”

 

Nephrite says, drawing a card, “Prepare for your destruction, Sailor Moon! I draw!” Nephrite says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “First, I start off with my Trap Booster spell! By discarding one card, I can play one trap card in my hand!” Nephrite discards a card, puts one card into the main slot of his disk, and he says, “And I choose my First Monarch trap card! This trap becomes a monster on the field!” Just then The First Monarch (1000/2400), a massive titanic featureless humanoid monster, appears on the field in attack mode and Nephrite says, discarding one card from his hand, “And when he comes to the field, I can discard one card and I declare one attribute! This monster becomes that attribute as long as it remains on the field! And I choose Earth attribute!” Nephrite then draws two cards and he says, “I also discarded my Cards of Compensation! This card, when discarded from my hand, allows me to draw two new cards!” Nephrite says, putting one card on his disk, “Also, my First Monarch, when tribute summoning a monster the same attribute as this creature, allows me to count him as two monsters instead of one! So, I release him to Advance Summon Granmarg the Mega Monarch!” The First Monarch ‘shatters’ apart and turns into a twister in which Granmarg the Mega Monarch (2800/1000), a larger and stronger version of Granmarg the Rock Monarch, appears on the field in attack mode. Nephrite says, “Now, when summoned by releasing other monsters, he can destroy up to two face-down cards on the field!” Granmarg slams his fist down causing Sailor Moon’s two face-down cards to be ‘speared’ in which they vanish.

 

Sailor Moon says, “One of those cards was the Dummy Marker trap card and you are the dummy since it allows me to draw a new card!”

 

After Sailor Moon draws a card, Nephrite says, drawing a card, “How lovely. I get a new card, too, since my Granmarg was summoned using an Earth monster.” Nephrite says, putting one card into the main slot of the disk, “Next, I activate this equip spell: Restoration of the Monarchs! By targeting a certain kind of a monster in my grave, I can revive them to the field with their effects negated! I choose the one that I discarded with my Trap Booster: Thestalos!” Just then Thestalos the Fire Monarch (2400/1000) appears on the field in attack mode and Nephrite says, putting one card into the main slot, “Then I activate my Double Summon spell card! This card allows me to perform another ‘regular’ summon this turn!”

 

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

 

Nephrite says, putting one card on his disk, “Your human friend is right, princess. Your brother and you are in danger especially since my equip spell allows me to count my Thestalos as two monsters for an Advance Summoning! I release him to ‘upgrade’ him into the mighty Thestalos the Mega Monarch!” Thestalos glows as he ‘transforms’ into Thestalos the Mega Monarch (2800/1000) in attack mode and Nephrite says, with an evil smile, “And now, I activate his ability! I force my opponent to discard one card from their hand and if it is monster, you suffer damage equal to its level times two hundred points!”

 

There are gasps and Davis says, nervously, “Really not good.”

 

Nephrite says, pointing to Sammy, “And I choose you to discard your middle card!” Sammy gasps as said card glows and vanishes in which Night Express Knight (3000/3000), a massive knight monster attached a train, appears in which Nephrite says, excitedly, “Excellent! A level ten and that means that you suffer two thousand points of damage!” Night Express Knight explodes in a massive explosion causing a shockwave that causes a strong wind, but then Sailor Moon and Sammy are ‘shocked’, however, they aren’t physically damage in which both of them gasp as some of their most painful memories dominate their mind with Sammy’s memories seeing her sister in her hospital bed while she was trapped in SAO. However, Sailor Moon’s memories are worse as she ‘relives’ parts of SAO especially the deaths of Diabel and Yuna for example causing her to gasp and stumble as she and Sammy lose 2000 life-points. Nephrite says, with an evil smile, “Oh, plus, since my Thestalos was brought to the field by use of a fire monster, you lose an additional one thousand points!” Sailor Moon and Sammy yelp as they are burned by the fiery remains of Night Express Knight with Sammy getting it worse in which both Sammy and Sailor Moon relive more painful memories, worse for Sailor Moon, causing Sailor Moon to fall to one knee as she and Sammy lose 1000 more life-points.

 

Molly and Tuxedo Mask say in unison, horrified, “Serena!”

 

Sailor Moon is breathing heavily and Sailor Saturn asks, worriedly, “What happened to her?”

 

Sailor Mercury says, her visor on, “They weren’t physically injured too much.”

 

Emerald says, with an evil smile, “Maybe not physically, but this Shadow Game is more mental than physical.”

 

The others are shocked and Matt asks, “Shadow Game?”

 

Nephrite says, with a sinister smile, “That’s right. This is a Shadow Game and one where as you lose life-points, you will experience the most painful memories of your life!” Nephrite says, with an evil smile, “And for that Moon brat, it is most likely, reliving the betrayal of the man that was a father to her in two lifetimes!”

 

Sailor Uranus says, angrily, “Bastard!”

 

Sailor Moon says, wearily, “I…I’m okay. I can handle this.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, lowly and worriedly, “Serena…”

 

Nephrite says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “We shall see, princess. I end my turn with one card face-down.”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Moon and Sammy: 5000

Nephrite and Emerald: 8000

 

Sammy says, drawing a card, “My turn!” Sammy says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “I activate my Special Schedule! This spell card allows me to revive one machine monster with three thousand attack points or more in defense mode and thank you for putting one in my grave!” Just then Night Express Knight (3000/3000) returns to the field in defense mode and Sammy says, putting one card on his disk, “And then I Normal Summon another one without releasing another monster!” Soon after, another Night Express Knight (3000/3000-0/3000) appears on the field in attack mode and Sammy says, “However, by summoning him this way, his original attack points become zero! But that won’t be a problem when I Overlay both of my Night Express Knights and build the Overlay Network!” Both Night Express Knights then turn into lights that goes into a vortex in the ground as Sammy gets an XYZ Monster card from his Extra Deck while putting Night Express Knights’ cards on the same Monster Card Zone before putting the XYZ Monster over them in which he yells out, “I XYZ Summon Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max!” Out of the vortex, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max (3000/3000), an immense cannon on a vehicle riding three rails with two Earth Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

A lot of the others gasp in shock and Sailor Venus says, stunned, “That’s huge!”

 

Yolei asks, curiously, “How is this room containing it?”

 

Hawkmon says, with a nod, “That’s a good question, Yolei.”

 

Emerald says, with a smirk, “A little twerp with a big cannon.”

 

Sammy says, with a smirk, “A big cannon with more bite than bark, you hag!” Emerald glares at Sammy, angrily, and Sammy says, “By removing an Overlay Unit, you lose two thousand life-points automatically!” Emerald and Nephrite give a look of shock as Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max absorbs an Overlay Unit, aims its cannon right at the two of them, and Sammy says, seriously, “Fire in the hole!” Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max then fires a shot that slams in-between Emerald and Nephrite, but the explosion is huge enough to send them flying backwards where they slam into the ground, hard, in which they cringe from the blow and snarl as they relive their worst memories, their defeats and demises, as they lose 2000 life-points.

 

Nephrite says, “Thank you, brat. For reminding us why we need to pound your sister into the ground!”

 

Sammy says, putting two cards into the main slot of his disk, “You’ll never get the chance! I end my turn!”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Moon and Sammy: 5000

Nephrite and Emerald: 6000

 

Izzy says, “Well, they are almost even now.”

 

Ken says, “Almost doesn’t cut it, Izzy, especially not in this ‘match’ as we all know.”

 

Emerald says, drawing a card, “And now, it is my turn! I draw!” Emerald says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Excellent! I start off with Gem-Knight Fusion!” Emerald discards two cards, causing Gem-Knight Lapis (1200/100) and Gem-Knight Tourmaline (1600/1800) to appear on the field, and Emerald says, “And now, I fuse the lovely Gem-Knight Lapis with the divine Tourmaline to create a gem warrior of beauty like myself!” The two monsters go into a fusion vortex, Emerald takes a Fusion Monster card from her Extra Deck, and she says, putting said Fusion Monster card on her duel disk, “My gorgeous Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli!” Out of the fusion vortex, Gem-Knight Lady Lapis Lazuli (2400/1000), a silvery-blue female monster, appears on the field in attack mode. Emerald says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Next, I activate my Silent Doom! And it is so appropriate since it is the start of your doom since I revive my Tourmaline!” Just then Gem-Knight Tourmaline (1600/1800) reappears on the field in defense mode and Emerald says, putting one card on her disk, “And now, the dazzling Gem-Knight Alexandrite makes his grand appearance!” Soon after, Gem-Knight Alexandrite (1800/1200) appears on the field in attack mode and Emerald says, with a sinister sly smirk, “And now, I Overlay both Tourmaline and Alexandrite to build the Overlay Network!” Two said monsters turn into lights that goes into a vortex as Emerald puts the said monsters’ cards on the same Monster Card Zone while putting an XYZ Monster card from her Extra Deck on top of them in which she says, “Now, I XYZ Summon another lovely jewel: Gem-Knight Pearl!” Out of the vortex, Gem-Knight Pearl (2600/1900), a humanoid monster covered in head to toe in pearl colored armor with two Earth Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Mimi says, “She is pretty good.”

 

Emerald then gives her classic laugh and she says, “Pretty good? Human, my ‘good’ is better than your excellent! I shall prove it by using Lady Lapis Lazuli’s ability! Now, I send one Gem-Knight from my deck to the graveyard! So, I send another of my darling jewels to the grave, but her sacrifice won’t be in vain!” A card comes out of the Extra Deck slot of Emerald’s disk and she puts it into her disk’s graveyard slot in which Emerald says, with an evil smile, “Because my opponent suffer damage equal to five hundred times the number of Special Summon monsters out on the field!”

 

There are gasps of shock and Sailor Mercury says, “That’s why she summoned her XYZ monster! With Serena’s monsters and Sammy’s monster, it is a total of five monsters!”

 

Emerald says, with an evil grin, “And five times the pain for that Moon brat!” Lady Lapis Lazuli then unleashes a ‘storm’ of gems on Sailor Moon and Sammy, which doesn’t do much harm, but they yell out as they are psychically attacked by more painful memories with Sailor Moon’s memories, her worst times in SAO, being extremely harsh causing her to shed tears of agony and pain causing her to fall to her hands and knees as she and Sammy lose 2500 life-points.

 

Tuxedo Mask yells out, worriedly and horrified, “Serena!”

 

Emerald gives her classic evil laugh and she says, “Look at the might future queen now! On her hands and knees…Where she belongs! A pathetic worthless wretch! Your suffering is like music to my ears!”

 

As Emerald gives her classic evil laugh, Davis retorts, nastily, “Like your voice isn’t torture enough for us?” Emerald stops laugh and glares, angrily, at Davis.

 

May 24, 2026, Tokyo, Akihabara

 

Back in Akihabara, we find Naruto with Hinata and Mirai as they are looking over Homura, Haruka, Yomi, Hikage, and Sakura in which all of them are breathing heavily with flush looks on their faces.

 

Mirai says, with a sly grin, “I think that they learned their lessons.”

 

Homura asks, with a dangerous smile, “Want to find out?” Homura, Haruka, Yomi, Hikage, and Sakura, all, smile dangerously causing Naruto, Hinata, and Mirai to become nervous, but then Hikage looks in another direction.

 

Hikage asks, pointing in that direction, “What has gotten Suguha-san all disturbed?” Everyone looks at where Hikage is pointing and they see Hiyori, Rika, Keiko, Shion, and Suguha’s two Digimon partners looking at said Sailor Scout of Reality with concern since a look of pure horror is on her face.

 

Hiyori asks, concerned, “Suguha, are you okay?”

 

Suguha says, her breathing heavier than usual, “Serena…”

 

Rika asks, curiously and confused, “Huh?”

 

Suguha says, “It’s Serena. She is in real pain. I can feel it!”

 

There are looks of surprise and Keiko asks, curiously, “Are you sure?”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yes, I’m ABSOUTELY sure.”

 

Shion says, “They were siblings back in the Moon Kingdom and ever since they met, they have reestablished that sibling bond with Kazuto. With their ‘heritage’ and more, it isn’t surprising that they might have a ‘sibling psychic link’ or something like that.”

 

Suguha says, taking out her broach, “I’ve got to get to her now!”

 

Rika tells Suguha, “Not without us, you aren’t!” Before Suguha could protest, Rika tells Suguha, “Hey, girl! We’ve known Serena back during the days of SAO with your brother! We’re not going to leave it alone!”

 

Keiko and Hiyori nod their heads in agreement and Shion says, “Can’t argue with that.”

 

Naruto says, “Maybe we can help.”

 

Suguha, Hiyori, Rika, Keiko, Shion, and Suguha’s two Digimon partners look at Naruto and his group and Shion asks, plainly, “How much?”

 

Haruka says, with a sly smile, “You are quick to judge…but also very wise too. You would make an excellent shinobi yourself, my dear.”

 

Shion says, with a plain tone, “I shall be fine with being a Sailor Senshi if you don’t mind.”

 

Mirai says, with a shrug, “Suit yourself, four-eyes.”

 

Yomi says, with a smile, “However, Haruka has a point. You do have the makings of a shinobi.”

 

Shion says, “We need to get going.”

 

Naruto asks, “Then what are we waiting for?”

 

Rika then says, “Right now, we don’t have the time! Let’s go!” Suguha nods her head in agreement and she prepares to transform.

 

May 24, 2026, Tokyo, Dicey Café

 

Within the Dicey Café, we find Kazuto, Asuna, Kotone, Ryoutarou, and Andrew together in which Kazuto drops a glass cup onto the floor, shattering it, and Kazuto has a pale look on his face.

 

Andrew says, “Hey, man!”

 

Asuna says, worriedly when she sees the look on Kazuto’s face, “Kirito-kun!”

 

Kotone asks, concerned, “Kazuto, what’s wrong?”

 

Ryoutarou says, “Dude, you are really pale!”

 

Asuna says, worriedly, “Kirito-kun…”

 

Kazuto says, breathing heavily, “Serena…It’s Serena!”

 

Asuna asks, concerned, “What’s wrong with Serena-chan?”

 

Kazuto says, “She’s in pain. Real pain.”

 

Asuna asks, concerned, “She’s in pain?!”

 

Ryoutarou asks, confused, “How do you know, dude? Do you have some kind of ‘royal sibling link’ or something?”

 

Kazuto says, “Back in the Silver Millennium, Sugu, Serena, and I were siblings and after SAO, our ‘link’ seems to have become stronger ever since we learned the truth and became closer.”

 

Andrew says, “That’s deep, bro.”

 

Kazuto gives a really concerned look and Kotone asks, “Is there anything that we can do?”

 

Kazuto shakes his head and Asuna tells Kazuto, “Serena-chan is strong, Kirito-kun. We have overcome a lot together.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “I know, Asuna. But we have limits and with all that has happened, especially with what happened with UNI-SHOCKER, Embryo, and Ordinal Scale, I’m worried about her reaching her limits.”

 

Andrew says, “Who isn’t concerned? SAO was a trying time for us, but most trying for her.”

 

Ryoutarou says, with a nod, “No joke, but come on! We’ve been through a lot and we’ve come out smelling like roses! You have got to have faith in her! She’ll pull through!”

 

Kazuto says, with a sigh and nod, “I…I hope that you are right, Klein.” The others look at each other with concern on their faces and can’t help to be concerned and wonder what’s happening to our Moon Princess right now.

 

May 24, 2026, Hiroshima

 

Back within the former UNI-SHOCKER base in Hiroshima, the group at Dicey Café have a real right to be concerned as back to the tag-team duel of both Sailor Moon and her Earth brother, Sammy, against Nephrite and Emerald, two of the Juuban Sailor Scouts enemies that were ‘gone’ and have been revived, their nasty Shadow Game that forces the duelists to ‘relive’ their worst memories every time that they lose life-points as put Sailor Moon on her hands and knees in which she struggles to get up.

 

Molly says, with a pleading tone, “Nephrite, please stop!” Nephrite just looks at Molly with a neutral expression and returns to the duel.

 

Emerald says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I think that’s enough torture for now. I end my turn.”

 

Current Scores:

Sailor Moon and Sammy: 2500

Nephrite and Emerald: 6000

 

As Sailor Moon struggles, Sammy says, “Come on, Meatball Head! You have got to get up!”

 

Nephrite tells Sailor Moon, plainly, “It is your turn, princess.”

 

Emerald says, with an evil smirk and taunting tone, “Don’t bother. She is going to fail, again, and now, she is going to witness another person die!” That strikes a ‘cord’ within Sailor Moon and her eyes widen as the horrible experiences in SAO that she had to relive fill her mind in which she can feel a ‘pulse’ within her deck.

 

Tuxedo Mask yells out, angrily, “Nephrite! You don’t only betray me, but you are going to betray someone that truly cared for you!”

 

Nephrite gives an impassive look and Sailor Moon then says, “Don’t…my love…don’t even try to discuss anything…with this worthless Nega-scum…” Everyone look towards Sailor Moon, who is rising to her feet and with her head lowered so that her face can’t be seen, but when she raises her head, her expression is completely unlike the Sailor Moon that everyone knows. There is a dark angered look in her blue eyes and she says, a ‘darker tone’ to her voice, “He already made his ‘bed’ and now, he is going to lie with the worms where he belongs!”

 

Plenty of the others look shocked and Tai says, nervously, “Uh oh!”

 

Sailor Saturn asks, a bit nervously, “Hime?”

 

Sailor Moon says, drawing a card from her deck and still with her darker tone, “My turn! I draw!” Sailor Moon says, displaying Performapal Smile Sorcerer (2500/2000) Pendulum monster card, “I set scale one, Performapal Smile Sorcerer, and the already set scale eight, Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon, I set the Pendulum Scale!” Sailor Moon slams the card into her disk’s empty Pendulum Zone causing the word ‘Pendulum’ to appear on her disk’s Monster Card Zones in rainbow colors and Pendulum Smile Sorcerer appears in the column of light that Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon was in with the number 1 below Performapal Smile Sorcerer. Sailor Moon says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate Card of Sanctity! All of us now draw from our decks until we have six cards in our hands!” All four duelists draw from their decks until each of them have half-a-dozen cards in their respective hands.

 

Molly thinks in her mind, concerned, “Serena…”

 

As a crystal pendulum appears swinging between the two columns of light, Sailor Moon yells out, with a dark strong tone, “Now, with my set Pendulum Scale, I Pendulum Summon! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Sailor Moon puts three cards from her hand on her duel disk and she shouts out, “Come forth, Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon, Stargazer Magician, and Dragonpit Magician!” A circle of light appears on the field, three ‘lights’ come from the circle of light, and those lights are to be revealed as Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon (1200/2400), Stargazer Magician (1200/2400), and Dragonpit Magician (900/2700) in which all of whom are in attack mode.

 

Emerald asks, with a sly smirk, “And what’s the point of playing those weaklings?”

 

Sailor Moon responds, with a dark nasty tone, “Here is the point, you witch! I Overlay Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon and Dragonpit Magician and build the Overlay Network!” The two said monsters turn into lights that goes into a vortex in the ground and while Sailor Moon puts both monsters’ cards on the same Monster Card Zone, a beam of light comes from her Extra Deck and slams on said spot on her disk becoming a brand new XYZ-Pendulum Monster card! Sailor Moon shouts out, “Fangs of rebellion gain new power and slash the fall of darkness! I XYZ Summon Dark Anthelion Dragon!” Out of the vortex, Dark Anthelion Dragon (3000/2500), a larger and ‘bulkier’ version of Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon with two Dark Overlay Units orbiting it, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Everyone is shocked and Yolei asks, “What is that?”

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, confused, “Is that Dark Rebellion?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, shaking her head, “No, it isn’t Dark Rebellion. Dark Rebellion is an XYZ Monster! That guy is an XYZ AND Pendulum Monster!”

 

Sailor Moon says, putting one card onto her disk, “Next, I play Performapal Odd-Eyes Minitaurus!” Soon after, Performapal Odd-Eyes Minitaurus (1200/1600) appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Moon says, putting one more card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate Polymerization! I fuse Odd-Eyes Persona, Stargazer Magician, and Odd-Eyes Minitaurus together!” The three said monsters go into a fusion vortex and a beam of light comes from Sailor Moon’s Extra Deck causing a brand new Fusion-Pendulum Monster card to appear on her disk in which Sailor Moon shouts out, with a dark serious tone, “Now, I Fusion Summon Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon!” Out of the fusion vortex, Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon (2800/2000), a large dark violet dragon similar to Starve Venom Fusion Dragon with a long dark violet moss ‘cape/wings’ coming out of its back and sides, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Sailor Venus says, nervously, “Yipe!”

 

TK says, “Not to insult Serena, but…whoa!”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a dark serious tone while putting the last card in her hand into the main slot of her disk, “I’m far from done, you peons! I activate Pendulum Halt! Since I’ve got three or more Pendulum Monsters in my Deck, this card allows me to draw two extra cards from my deck!” Sailor Moon draws two cards, puts one card into the main slot, and she says, “Next, I activate my Pot of Greed! And that means two more cards for me!” Sailor Moon draws two more cards, she puts another into the main slot of her disk, and she says, “Then I play a card that you should be familiar with, Nephrite! It’s Trap Booster! I discard one card and play a trap card from my hand!” Sailor Moon discards one card, puts another card into the main slot of her disk, and she says, with a dark strong tone, “And it’s Pendulum Reborn! Now, I can play one Pendulum Monster face-up in my Extra Deck or in my grave! And I choose Nobledragon Magician from my Extra Deck!” A card comes out of the Extra Deck of Sailor Moon’s disk, she puts it on her disk, and Nobledragon Magician (700/1400) reappears on the field in attack mode. Sailor Moon says, drawing two cards from her deck, “By the way, the card that I discarded was also a card that you used before Nephrite: Card of Compensation! That means two more new cards for me!”

 

Emerald says, “Dumb luck, Moon brat.”

 

Sailor Moon retorts, in a dark nasty tone, “Luck, no. Skill, yes, you hag.”

 

Emerald yells out, angrily, “Hag?!”

 

Davis says, with a winch, “Oh, nasty.”

 

Sailor Neptune says, “That’s not like Sailor Moon at all.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, concerned, “No, it isn’t.” Tuxedo Mask, Molly, and Sammy were among the many among our heroes and heroines that have REALLY concerned looks on their faces.

 

Sailor Moon says, putting one card into main slot of her disk, “Then I play my Pendulum Scale Draw! I send one Pendulum Monster from my deck that has the same scale as one of the Pendulum monsters in my Pendulum Zones to my Extra Deck face-up and I draw one new card from my deck!” A card comes out of Sailor Moon’s deck, she puts it into her Extra Deck, and she then draws a card causing her to say, putting said card into the main slot of her disk, “Next, it is Pendulum Paradox! Now, I can take two Pendulum Monsters that are face-up in my Extra Deck that equals the Pendulum Scale that I have active right now, but they have to have different names than those monsters!” Two cards come out of the Extra Deck of Sailor Moon’s disk and she says, displaying Stargazer Magician (1200/2400) and Timegazer (1200/600) Pendulum Monsters, “So, I return Stargazer and Timegazer Magicians to my hand!” Sailor Moon says, putting one more card into the main slot of her disk, “Then I activate my Magical Stone Excavation! By discarding two cards from my hand, I can return one spell card to my hand!” Sailor Moon discards two cards and a spell card comes out of her disk’s graveyard slot in which she says, putting said card into the main slot of her disk, “And the card is Card of Sanctity! Now, all of us have to draw until we have half-a-dozen cards in our hands, but, too bad, you already have that amount of cards in your hands already, so, it means that I’m the only one getting new cards! Too bad and so sad…Not!” Sailor Moon draws half-a-dozen new cards from her deck, puts one card into the main slot of her disk, and she yells out, “And next, I play Extra Pendulum Reborn! Since I have a set Pendulum Scale and Pendulum Monsters, face-up, in my Extra Deck, I can summon one from my Extra Deck, however, my life-points are cut in half and that Pendulum Monster has to be within the set Pendulum Scale! That won’t be a problem since I play Odd-Eyes Minitaurus!” Sailor Moon’s and Sammy’s life-points are cut in half as a card comes out of the Extra Deck of Sailor Moon’s disk and when she puts the card on her disk, Performapal Odd-Eyes Minitaurus (1200/1600) returns to the field in attack mode in which Sailor Moon says, with a dark serious tone, “I tune Nobledragon Magician with Odd-Eyes Minitaurus!” Nobledragon Magician turns into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Odd-Eyes Minitaurus, turning it transparent, and when Sailor Moon gets a Synchro-Pendulum Monster card from her Extra Deck, a column of light appears on the field.

 

Davis says, amazed, “Whoa! No way!”

 

Gatomon says, seriously, “Yes, way!”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Shining wings, deliver divine speed and illuminate heaven and Earth! Synchro Summon!” Sailor Moon puts the Synchro-Pendulum Monster card on her disk and she shouts out, “Reveal yourself, Clear Wing Fast Dragon!” Out of the light, Clear Wing Fast Dragon (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Nephrite says, with a sneer, “Four useless dragons.”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a dark plain tone, “That’s why you are always a loser, Nephrite.”

 

Nephrite asks, confused, “What?”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a dark sneer, “You are always underestimating your opponents and overestimating your abilities. Jadeite learned that the hard way when he got crushed by the airplane that he attacked us with. It is why you and that green-haired harpy will always be losers, Nephrite!”

 

Nephrite and Emerald glare at Sailor Moon and Palmon says, nervously, “Yipe!”

 

Sora says, shocked, “That doesn’t sound like the Serena that we know.”

 

Tai says, seriously, “No, it isn’t!”

 

Matt says, with a serious glare, “Those two really did it this time! She’s been pushed to her limits!”

 

Plenty the others look at her with VERY NERVOUS expressions and Sailor Moon yells out, “Dark Anthelion Dragon’s ability now activates! By removing one Overlay Unit, one monster on your field gets their power cut in half and Dark Anthelion Dragon gains the power that monster lost!” Dark Anthelion Dragon absorbs one of its Overlay Units, its wings glow, and Thestalos the Mega Monarch goes from 2800/1000 down to 1400/1000 while Dark Anthelion Dragon goes from 3000/2500 to 4400/2500 in which Sailor Moon says, with a dark strong tone, “Battle! Dark Anthelion, take down Thestalos! Absorb Eclipse!”

 

Nephrite says, pushing a button on his disk’s touch screen, “Not so fast, princess! I activate my Escalation of the Monarchs!” Nephrite’s face-down is revealed to be the Escalation of the Monarchs continuous trap card and Nephrite says, “During your Main Phase or Battle Phase, I can release my monsters and Advance Summon! I release both of my Thestalos to bring out Zaborg the Mega Monarch!” Thestalos vanishes in which, in a flash of lightning, Zaborg the Mega Monarch (2800/1000), a more powerful version of Zaborg the Thunder Monarch, appears on the field in attack mode in which Nephrite says, with an evil smile, “He can be brought to the field by only releasing one Advanced Summoned monster which my Thestalos counts! I play Zaborg’s ability and now, I target one monster on the field and destroy it! I choose your dragon!”

 

As Zaborg unleashes lightning at Dark Anthelion, Sailor Moon says, putting one card into the main slot, “You are a fool, Nephrite! And here is why! I activate Effect Shut! This card negates your monster’s ability and destroys it!”

 

Nephrite asks, stunned, “What?” Just then Zaborg is entrapped in a cage and gets ‘zapped by its own lightning causing it to be destroyed.

 

Sailor Moon shouts out, “Battle continues! Dark Anthelion, your new target is Granmarg! Absorb Eclipse!” Granmarg is then absorbed into a black hole created by Dark Anthelion and is destroyed causing Nephrite and Emerald to grunt out as they experience more bad memories as they lose 1600 life-points.

 

Emerald says, with a sneer, “Not good enough, your majesty!”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a dark strong tone, “I’m not done, hag! So, shut up and wait your turn!” Plenty of the others are shocked by Sailor Moon’s nasty and dark tone while Emerald sneers, angrily, at Sailor Moon for the ‘hag’ comment in which Sailor Moon says, “Clear Wing Fast Dragon, attack Lady Lapis Lazuli!” As Clear Wing Fast Dragon prepares to attack, Sailor Moon says, “Clear Wing Fast Dragon’s ability activates! Once per turn, it targets an Extra Deck monster and it negates its abilities as well as make its attack zero! Dichroitic Drain!” Clear Wing unleashes a powerful light that causes Lady Lapis Lazuli’s ‘color scheme’ to become duller in which it goes from 2400/1000 to 0/1000 in which she then explodes as Clear Wing rams through her causing a massive explosion in which Nephrite and Emerald are sent back from the shockwave as they relive more of their bad memories as they lose 2400 life-points. Sailor Moon says, “Starving Venemy, dull her pathetic Pearl! Deadly Acid!” Starving Venemy Lethal Dose Dragon unleashes a powerful acid mist that causing Gem-Knight Pearl to melt causing Nephrite and Emerald to briefly experience more bad memories as they lose 200 life-points.

 

Yolei says, winching, “Major gross out!”

 

Sailor Moon shouts out, with a dark sneer, “This is the end! Phantom Dragon, direct attack! Phantom Spiral Fury!” Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon then attacks Nephrite and Emerald directly.

 

Emerald says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “No, wench! I activate my Dark Wall of Wind!” Emerald’s face-down card is revealed to be Dark Wall of Wind Quick-Play spell card and Emerald says, with a wicked smile, “We don’t take damage from direct attack this turn!” A shield of darkness energy protects Emerald and Nephrite from Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon’s attack. Emerald says, with a sinister grin, “Too bad, your majesty! All that show and now, it will be our turn to take you down!”

 

Emerald gives her classic evil chortle and Sailor Moon says, with a completely out of character dark sinister smile on her lips, “Next turn? There is no next turn for you fool.”

 

There are plenty of surprised looks and Nephrite asks, with a glare, “What do you mean?”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a dark strong tone while putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “This is what I’m talking about! I play Phantom Pendulum Fury! Since I have a set Pendulum Zone and Pendulum Monsters on my field, you take five hundred points of damage for every Pendulum Monster that has inflicted battle damage to you for this turn!”

 

As Dark Anthelion, Clear Wing, and Starving Venemy prepare to attack, Nephrite says, with a sneer, “We’ll still have life-points and then you will be finished!”

 

Sailor Moon says, putting one more card into the main slot of her disk, “Quick-Play spell: Double Down to Double Up! By cutting our life-points in half, all effect damage from an effect is doubled!” Sailor Moon’s and Sammy’s life-points are cut in half, once more, and Dark Anthelion, Clear Wing, and Starving Venemy glows with powerful auras as their attacks are getting stronger in which Emerald and Nephrite gasp in shock and horror.

 

Emerald yells out, horrified, “No, you can’t!”

 

Sailor Moon shouts out, with a dark strong tone, “Oh, I can…and I will! End this!” Dark Anthelion, Clear Wing, and Starving Venemy then unleash their attacks that slam into Emerald and Nephrite in which they scream out as the result explosion sends them into the far wall causing them to slam into it, hard, in which everyone else struggles against the massive shockwave from the assault as Emerald and Nephrite loses 3000 life-points as well as the duel.

 

Final Scores:

Sailor Moon and Sammy: 625

Emerald and Nephrite: 0

 

With the end of the duel, the containers in the room start to crack while Emerald and Nephrite collapse to the ground in which Molly is then released from her restraints causing to yelp as she falls to the ground, but Sailor Pluto and Sailor Neptune manage to catch her.

 

Sailor Neptune asks, “Are you okay, Molly?”

 

Molly says, with a nod, “Yes.”

 

Dark ‘shadows’ form around the fallen forms of Emerald and Nephrite and Emerald groans out as the ‘shadows’ starts to warp and ‘absorb’ them in which Emerald grunts out, “I…I won’t…go alone…!!!” Emerald then creates a black crystal spear and throws it at Sailor Moon in which Tuxedo Mask leaps towards it and prepares to attack, but he won’t get to it in time. However, before it hits Sailor Moon, it is shattered by Dark Repulser which falls onto the floor with the tip of its blade implanting itself into the ground.

 

Sailor Sun says, “That’s sword…!!”

 

A familiar female voice says, “That would be mine!” Everyone looks to the source to see Sailor Celestial, Sailor Orion, Sailor Celestial’s two Digimon partners, Hiyori, Rika, Keiko, Naruto, Hinata, Sakura, Haruka, Homura, Hikage, Yomi, and Mirai enter the room in which Sailor Celestial is shocked to see Dark Anthelion and Starving Venemy causing her to ‘feel’ something from her deck as images of Dark Rebellion and Starve Venom come into her mind. Afterwards, Nephrite and Emerald are absorbed by the darkness in which Molly gives a solemn look.

 

Molly thinks in her mind, solemnly, “Nephrite…”

 

Sailor Uranus tells Molly, “He made his choice. A thousand years ago and today.” Molly nods her head, solemnly, and soon after, the ‘dark glint’ leaves Sailor Moon’s eyes as the last Real Solid Vision ‘projections’ vanish causing her to faint onto the ground.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, worriedly, “Serena!” Tuxedo Mask runs over to Sailor Moon and puts her unconscious form in his arms.

 

Sailor Celestial asks, seriously, “What’s going on here?”

 

Sailor Venus says, “That’s a bit of a story.” Just then everyone hears footsteps and everyone looks to see Yuuko walk out into the open.

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Yuuko!”

 

Yuuko says, plainly, “I have to say that I underestimated her.” Yuuko says, looking at Sailor Moon, “She has gained new powers and I need to take that into consideration. I also underestimated the darkness within her.”

 

Sailor Orion asks, curiously, “Darkness?”

 

Yuuko says, “You have already seen it for yourself. Push her too far and she unleashes that ‘fury’. It seems like that she has lost her ‘shine’ or it could be that ‘shadow’ was always there.”

 

Sailor Mars yells out, angrily, “Watch that mouth, bitch! She is Sailor Moon…!!!”

 

Yuuko says, interrupting Sailor Mars, “That’s right. And that says something. While the moon reflects the light of sun to give light to the darkness at nighttime, it can also bring darkness as well. It is a fact that it is the moon that causes solar eclipses.”

 

Tai asks, annoyed, “So?”

 

Yuuko says, with a plain tone, “The moon can cause both light and darkness and like a candle, the brightest light can also created the greatest of shadows. Light and darkness has always been a part of her and SAO brought out the ‘shadows’ that she already had.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, sternly, “That’s a lie and you know it, Yuuko!”

 

Yuuko retorts, “Oh? You are one to speak, Suguha.”

 

Sailor Celestial tells Yuuko, “This has to stop, Yuuko.”

 

Yuuko says, “This will stop when I said that it will be stopped.”

 

Sakura then asks Yuuko, “By the way, how far into your trap have they fallen into?”

 

A lot of the others look at Sakura and Sailor Celestial asks, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

 

Yuuko then says, “Clever girl. You actually do use that brain of yours.”

 

Sakura says, with a smirk, “You can’t believe everything that you read.”

 

Tai asks, confused, “What does she mean trap?”

 

Yuuko says, with a plain tone, “By the time that you figured it out, it will be too late.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, sternly, “No, I’m ending this right now!”

 

Yuuko says, taking out a device, “You have problems that you need to deal with right now, Suguha.” Yuuko pushes a button on the device and immediately, the whole area starts to shake and rumble as it starts to collapse.”

 

Hawkmon says, nervously, “Oh my!”

 

Naruto asks, annoyed, “Oh, come on! Can’t you do anything original? The old self-destructing base trying to trap or kill the heroes routine? Seriously?!”

 

Yuuko says, “As they said: If it isn’t broke…” Yuuko then teleports away before anyone could stop her and the rumbling of the base starts to get worse.

 

Rika says, “Oh, crap! We need to get out of here!” Keiko yelps as a violent shaking causing her to land on the ground on her bottom.

Hiyori says, worriedly, “Sil-Keiko!” As Hiyori goes over to Keiko, the destruction of the base causes the containers to shatter open causing the ‘items’ within them to glow in which they turn into energy that basically flies into and slams into Hiyori, Keiko, and Rika causing them to yell out as the energy goes into them causing them to slump into unconsciousness.

 

Sailor Celestial says, shocked, “Hiyori! Keiko! Rika!”

 

Homura says, “That does it! Time to make like a leaf and blow!”

 

Sakura asks, annoyed, “Really?”

 

Naruto says, seriously, “Hang on!” Naruto then throws a set of kunais that surrounds all of them and afterwards, all of them vanish with a bright flash in which the whole facility collapses.

 

(A short time later)

 

On the rooftops of the buildings in Hiroshima, everyone is looking at a smoke column in the distance as they see the lights and sirens of emergency services at the smoke column. At the same time, we find Sailor Mercury scanning Hiyori, Rika, and Keiko with her computer and visor.

 

When she is done, Sailor Sun asks, “Are they okay?”

 

Sailor Mercury says, “They are just fine. In fact, they are more than just fine. They are completely healthy.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Whatever that was, it may have not done any physical damage, but ‘damage’ isn’t just getting injured.”

 

Molly says, “I don’t think that what was in there will harm them. As I said before, what kind of ‘power’ that was contained in them felt similar to ours.”

 

Sailor Mars says, with a nod, “True. I didn’t feel any negativity from that energy.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, with a nod, “Neither did I. I’m agreeing with you that power isn’t evil or usually harmful, but these energies may not be usually harmful, in fact, usually used for good, they may not be compatible with a ‘host’. We are completely ‘in tune’ with our powers for various reasons, but if there isn’t ‘balance’ between these energies and the ‘host’, it could be harmful for the person that ‘absorbed’ those energies.”

 

Tuxedo Mask, who has the still unconscious Sailor Moon in his arms, says, “You have a point.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, seriously, “I hope that Mercury is right and they aren’t harmful in anyway. However, I have to ask: What was going on down there? And what the heck were those monsters?”

 

Sailor Orion asks Sailor Celestial, “Your deck ‘sensed’ something didn’t it?” Sailor Celestial looked at Sailor Orion in surprise and Sailor Orion says, “Those monsters had similarities to Dark Rebellion and Starve Venom.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Yeah, my deck gave out a ‘pulse’ upon seeing those monsters.”

 

There are plenty of curious looks and Davis says, “That’s curious.”

 

Yolei says, pointing to Naruto and his group, “Well, maybe you should answer our questions, Suguha.” Yolei yells out, “What the heck is going on here?!”

 

Haruka says, with a sly smile, “We were in the middle of a meeting.”

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, “A meeting?”

 

Mirai says, with a sly smirk, “Just planning to give her a bit of information on Neo Paradius, that’s all.”

 

There are gasps of shock and Tai asks, “Hold up! You are shinobi, aren’t you?”

 

Homura says, “Former ‘evil shinobi’, actually, but we belong to a new faction.” Homura says, looking at Naruto, “Naruto’s faction.”

 

There are gasps of shock and Sailor Pluto says, “I thought so.”

 

Haruka says, “My. Why so suspicious? You should be thanking us? Remember that third Sailor Celestial? The one from the world of that alternate version of Sailor Moon’s ‘Earth brother’ over there? Well, that Sailor Celestial was one that hired us to help out under the pretext of helping UNI-SHOCKER out.”

 

Mirai says, with a haughty smile, “You should be on your asses thanking us for our help.”

 

There are looks of shock and Sailor Celestial says, “That’s new information.”

 

Yomi says, with a smirk, “You never asked.”

 

Sailor Celestial retorts, with a sarcastic tone, “Now, why did I see that one coming?”

 

Naruto says, “Anyway, we can talk about this after we get to a private place to talk.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “I know the perfect place. The one place where Yuuko can’t get to us…or at least, I hope she can’t.”

 

Mirai asks, “Where’s that?” Sailor Celestial doesn’t answer, but she looks up into the sky in which plenty get the idea on what she is thinking.

 

Sailor Uranus yells out, “Whoa! Whoa! There?!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “I don’t want Hiyori, Rika, and Keiko on Earth while we don’t know what happened to them and the advanced computers and facilities will allow Mercury to get a better idea of those energies are harming them in anyway.”

 

Plenty of the others that didn’t realize what Sailor Celestial was implying, now, get what she is implying in which Sailor Jupiter says, looking at Naruto and his group, “But…!!!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, seriously, “That’s an order, Jupiter! I’m invoking my authority as the youngest daughter of Queen Serenity and Princess of the Moon Kingdom! Since sis is out, I’m taking over command over all Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts and ordering that all of us to be taken to the Moon Kingdom as of immediately!”

 

There are plenty of surprised looks and Sailor Pluto says, “As you command, Hime.”

 

Homura says, amazed, “Whoa! Girl has got game!”

 

Sailor Celestial responds, glaring at Homura, “Don’t push it.”

 

Homura flinches and Haruka says, with a sly smile, “I guess they say it is true on not poking of a dragon.” Soon enough, the group prepares to head out to the Moon Kingdom with Tuxedo Mask, having the unconscious Sailor Moon in his arms, looks at her worried with her Earth brother and ‘royal sister’ also giving concerned looks while plenty of them are also concerned for what happened with Hiyori, Keiko, and Rika.

 

May 24, 2026, Neo Paradius headquarters

 

Back in Neo Paradius’ headquarters, Kana is facing Yuuko and looking over what happened via a holographic screen.

 

Kana says, “You just might have made things worse for yourself.”

 

Yuuko says, “You may believe so, but things are working out just fine.”

 

Kana tells Yuuko, “This is more about your justice, isn’t it?”

 

Yuuko says, “I may desire justice against Suguha and her ‘royal sister’, but I am no fool. What I desire is more than that.”

 

Kana asks, curiously, “And that is…?”

 

Yuuko responds, “You will have to wait and see, but they are falling into my trap just fine. Their ‘victories’ shall lead to their final defeat.” The screen vanishes in which Yuuko walks away and Kana does the same where Kana goes into another room with her closing and locking the door behind her.

 

Just then a female voice calls out from the shadows, “You know that she is fucking nuts, you know that?” Kana turns to the source of the female voice and out of the shadows, two young ladies come out into the dim light within the room.

 

The first young lady looks to be around 17 years old with brown hair in two pigtails, her eyes are heterochromatic with her left eye being blue and right eye being green, and she is wearing a white button-down "dress" shirt that has the waist wrapped in a belt that holds all of her extra-large bullets. Underneath is a big, black dress that goes all the way down to her ankles, which, along with her legs and feet, are covered by white thigh-high stockings and red dress shoes. Then, she wears a red hair band and a red overcoat-like shirt reminiscent of Native American clothes. Finally, she wears a tied black ribbon to look like tied shoelaces with the casual "bunny ears."

 

The second young lady looks also to be around 17 years of age with short blond hair, her eyes are also heterochromatic with her left eye being emerald green and her right eye being sapphire blue, and she is wearing a white outfit with a short, wide skirt decorated with triangular patterns. The top of the outfit ends in two triangles held together by thin threads which keep the back held together. More threads reach from each triangle to the other triangle to keep from exposing her bust and the front of the outfit from falling off. She also wears white stockings with triangular cut tops trimmed with gold, boots that reach up to under her knees which are trimmed the same way as her stockings. Finally, her outfit is accessorized with two angelic wings and a silver tiara on her head.

 

Kana says, “Her insanity may be true, but so is her power.”

 

The blond haired young lady says, with a giggle, “Oh, I wonder how it is like to get your soul sucked out of you.”

 

The brown haired young lady says, bashing the blond on the head, “How about we find out, you sow?!” The brown haired young lady then kicks the blond in the ‘rear end’.

 

The blond haired young lady moans out, “Oh, yeah! Punish me, good, Ryobi-chan!”

 

Kana asks, looking a bit disturbed, “Is she…?!”

 

The brown haired young lady says, with a snort, “This cow of a sister of mine likes getting bashed!” The brown haired young lady tells Kana, “After all that wild shit that you have gone through, this is what disturbs you? Seriously?! You have weird standards!”

 

Kana responds, clearing her throat, “Anyway, Ryobi-san, are you ready?’

 

The brown haired young lady, Ryobi, responds, with a sly smirk, “What do you think?”

 

Kana asks, “So, what do you think that Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze is here on your world?”

 

The blond haired young lady says, with a giggle, “I think that he is a real cutie! I would love to get hit by his Rasengan sometime!”

 

Ryobi kicks the blond haired young lady in the ‘rear end’, again, and she yells out, annoyed, “Maybe I should throw you into his attack so you can find out!” Ryobi looks at Kana and she says, plainly, “You do your part and we do ours.”

 

Kana says, with a nod, “Of course.” Kana asks Ryobi, “Does your ‘faction’ plan on…?”

 

Ryobi says, with a sly smirk, “Maybe we will. However, that’s nothing for you to know. If I told you, I would have to kill you and that’s no joke.”

 

Kana says, “Understood.” Kana thinks in her mind, “I want my justice, Yuuko-san, but I intend to get it my own way…without threatening the innocent in the process.”

 

End of Chapter 13

 

It looks like Kana has her own plans and she has her own allies that Yuuko doesn’t seem to know about, but it also seems like Yuuko is plotting something. By the looks, I’m sure that you noticed, it seems that Yuuko doesn’t want our heroes and heroines to be defeated right away. It is a plan that Kana seems to know and may not fully approve of. So, what’s up? Well, you know what you need to do to find out, folks! Please read and review and no flames, please! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
