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: Epilogue: Foreshadowing Conclusion

 

May 27, 2026, Japan, Kyoto Prefecture

 

In the Kyoto Prefecture of Japan, we find our heroes and heroines assembled together with Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, and the ninja of our heroes’ and heroines’ world including the former Crimson Squad, those from Hanzo Academy, and those from Gessen Academy. Everyone is focused on Naruto, who is holding Yuuko’s duel disk, in which Naruto is giving off a mixture of nervousness yet seriousness.

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Those cards are beyond dangerous. In fact, they aren’t just cards.”

 

Sakura retorts, sarcastically, “No duh! I think that everyone saw how when they were summoned, especially Genesis Omega Dragon, warped space-time, don’t you think?”

 

Mirai says, sarcastically, “No damn kidding!”

 

Naruto says, “That’s why I’ve been teaching Celestial-chan sealing.” Naruto says, looking at Sailor Pluto, “Since this guy is obvious got reality-warping powers, she is the only one that has a VERY GOOD chance at containing him.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a plain tone, “Naruto-san has a point. The power of Genesis Omega Dragon shown itself quite plainly. Bringing alternate versions of Tea, Yuuko, and others into this timeline and the manipulating of space-time when it was summoned are most likely the tip of the iceberg.”

 

Kazuto says, “No one should have access to that kind of power.”

 

Ken says, nodding his head in agreement, “And I believe that these two could manipulate their ‘wielders’ as well.”

 

Sailor Mars says, “That’s a good possibility.”

 

Sakura says, “And that’s why it is obvious that these guys need to be sealed for good.”

 

Tai says, “For once, we can agree on something.”

 

Naruto says, “Yeah! Once Celestial-chan uses her powers to seal them away, my group and I…”

 

Davis yells out, interrupting, “Whoa, dude! Who said that you were keeping it?” Everyone focuses on Davis and he says, glaring at Naruto intently, “You gave us an awesome hand, but you aren’t the same Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze that we know.”

 

Naruto responds, “No…because that was ‘fantasy’ and I’m reality, believe it!”

 

Davis says, with a nod, “Yeah, that’s a fact. As a fact, you have quite a harem with you and your plans seems similar to what we would write in Naruto fanfiction…namely DARK and GREY fanfiction with you as the ‘dark or grey character’.”

 

Haruka says, with a seductive sly tone, “Yes, Naruto-kun is quite the ‘ladies’ man’.”

 

Naruto gives a nervous look, Hinata with a blush, and Sakura tells Haruka, annoyed, “Cut it out.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, plainly, “To be blunt, there are plenty of us that don’t trust you with those ‘cards’.”

 

Mirai responds, “And there are plenty of us that feel the same.”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, “You would think that any of us would…!!”

 

Mirai retorts, sarcastically, “Oh, EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU wouldn’t be tempted to ‘use’ the power of these cards especially Genesis Omega Dragon.” Mirai looks at Sailor Moon and asks, sternly yet sarcastically, “That certain people wouldn’t be, at least at a subconsciousness level, tempted to change the events of SAO to prevent the deaths or make sure that it didn’t start in the first place. You wouldn’t really be tempted at all NOT to do that?” Sailor Moon wanted to make a retort, but she couldn’t say a thing since Mirai had a point.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, plainly, “Fine. You made your point. There are plenty of us that Genesis Omega Dragon and Ultimaya Tzolkin could very well tempt despite our strong willpower. I’ll admit that I would be one of them.” Plenty of people would look at Tuxedo Mask and he says, “I must admit that if I got my hands on Genesis Omega Dragon, I would most likely give into temptation to stop SAO to assure that Serena would never have to suffer that horror that permanently scarred her heart.”

 

Sailor Moon can’t help to smile warmly at her boyfriend and Suzume asks, “Your experience with your ‘evil twin’ got you to take a good look at yourself?”

 

Tuxedo Mask just looks at Suzume in reply and Tai says, with a sigh, “Fine, you win. I may not be able to help myself to use that power to prevent what happened with Davis and Kari. I would try to make that those thugs slipped and killed themselves or there were police officers nearby in which they took out those murderous bastards.”

 

Matt tells Tai, “Don’t blame you, Tai.”

 

Tai says, looking at Naruto, “However, it doesn’t mean that you won’t be tempted to do the same. You may have your mother back, but we don’t have any assurances that you don’t want to create a situation that you can get your dad back or make some kind of move since you have obvious learned about what could have been in the anime and manga based on your world.”

 

Naruto says, with a shrug, “Yeah, you have a point. But anyway…” Naruto then slams Yuuko’s duel disk onto his left arm in which the duel disk ‘vanishes’ before everyone’s eyes!

 

There are gasps and Yolei asks, “What the heck?”

 

Kazuto says, with a plain tone, “A storage seal.”

 

Naruto says, pointing to his left arm, “Yep! This is a special one that this one won’t open even for me unless something happens.”

 

Davis asks, “What?”

 

Naruto says, with a wide grin, “This.” Naruto slams his hand into the ground and a loud ‘explosion’ of smoke appears causing everyone to step back. When the smoke clears up, there is an orange-red version of Jack Atlas’ Duel Runner in front of everyone and Naruto sits down activating an orange-red Real Solid Vision version of Jack Atlas’ Duel Disk causing Naruto ask, with a grin, “So, what do you say?”

 

Davis tells Naruto, “Well, you said that you wanted your match.” Davis then ‘transformed’ into his Light Hawk form and he then have his wings transform into a silver-white version of Yusei’s Duel Runner where his ‘outfit’ turns into silver-white version of Yusei’s Duel Runner ‘uniform’ where Davis sits down in the runner where he activates the Duel Disk portion of the runner.

 

Sailor Sun says, surprised, “Dai-kun!”

 

Davis says, looking at Naruto, “I don’t think that we have any choice. When he makes a choice, he sticks to it.”

 

Naruto retorts, with a grin, “Asking from experience?”

 

Yolei says, with a plain tone, “He has a point.”

 

Davis tells Yolei, a bit annoyed, “Do we have to keep doing this?”

 

Naruto says, with a grin, “I think that kind of banter lightens the mood.”

 

Davis says, with a smile, “You won’t be in the mood when I beat you.”

 

Naruto says, “We’ll see about that, believe it.”

 

Kotone asks, “Do you really have to do it?”

 

Rika tells Kotone, “Don’t bother, Kotone. We are dealing with two stubborn guys.”

 

Sakura says, with a smile, “Tell me about it. But we have to agree with Naruto-kun that it is best in our hands. Okay, we may not be ‘immune’ to temptation, but we already at the point that we don’t want to bust up all of reality.”

 

Mirai says, nodding her head in agreement, “No fucking kidding. What’s the fucking point of getting what you want if you basically erase everything? That’s freaking messed up.”

 

TK says, “They have a point.”

 

Naruto tells Davis, “We’re going to use the Turbo Duel version of an Action Duel for this match.”

 

Davis says, with a grin, “Fine by me! It’ll make it more fun.” Naruto pushes a button on runner causing the screens on both runners to display the image of a card with a computer voice saying ‘Cross Over: Accel’ with two ‘waves’ coming from both runners causing a massive orb filled with Action Cards created by Real Solid Vision technology.

 

Everyone else gets back and Naruto asks Davis, “Ready?”

 

Davis responds, with a smirk, “Anytime!” The disk portions of the two Duel Runners completely activates, creating the ‘energy blades’ containing the Monster and Pendulum Zones, and the main display screens of the runners display 4000 life-points for each duelist.

 

“Duel!” Davis and Naruto yell out in unison as they race off causing the massive orb to shatter causing Action Cards to scatter far and wide as their Turbo Action Duel begins.

 

Starting Scores:

Davis: 4000

Naruto: 4000

 

After both duelists draw the first five cards from their decks, Naruto asks, “Let’s say: First one to an Action Card gets the choice of the first move?”

 

Davis says, with a grin, “Heh! Eat my dust!” Davis races ahead while Naruto rushes off after him in which both of them see an Action Card floating in the air with Davis racing off ahead of Naruto, but Naruto gives a sly smirk in which when Davis is about to jump for the Action Card, Naruto appears, flying and spinning around in the air, and Naruto grabs the Action Card before Davis could, much to his shock and surprise.

 

Naruto says, with a wide smirk, “Ha! Looks like I win!”

 

Davis responds, with a glare, “For now!”

 

Naruto says, “I’ll be taking the first turn then!” Naruto says, drawing a card, “My turn! I draw!” Naruto says, putting one card on his disk, “I start off with Force Resonator in attack mode!” Force Resonator (500/500) appears on the field in attack mode causing Naruto to say, putting one card on his disk, “Since I summoned a Resonator monster, I can play Red Warg as well, but its power is cut in half!” Red Warg (1400/2200-700/2200) then appears on the field in attack mode where Naruto says, “Then I tune my Force Resonator with Red Warg!” Force Resonator turns into two stars that turn into two rings that surround Red Warg, turning it transparent, and when Naruto gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, a column of light appears on the field. Naruto then says, “Roar of the king! Shake the heavens and forge into yourself the power of the unrivaled tyrant! Synchro Summon!” Naruto puts the Synchro Monster card on his disk causing him to say, “Rampaging soul! Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend!” Out of the light, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2500) appears on the field in attack mode causing Naruto to say, putting two cards into the main slot of his disk, “Then I place two cards face-down and I call it a turn!”

 

Davis says, drawing a card, “Then it is my turn! I draw!” Davis thinks in his mind, “He didn’t use his Action Card…yet.” Soon after, Davis spots an Action Card and manages to get it into his hands in which he grabs, looks at it, and he then says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “I play the spell card One for One! By discarding one monster from my hand, I can play one level one monster!” Davis discards one card from his hand and puts another card, this time from his deck, on his disk causing him to say, “I discard Speed Warrior to play Tuningware!” Just then Tuningware (100/300) appears on the field in attack mode causing Davis to say, putting another card on his disk, “Then I add Junk Synchron too!” Junk Synchron (1300/500) appears on the field in attack mode where Davis says, “Junk Synchron allows me to revive one level two or below in defense mode and without their abilities! So, rise again, Speed Warrior!” Just then Speed Warrior (900/400) appears on the field in defense mode where Davis says, “And now, I tune Junk Synchron with Tuningware, now a level two!” Junk Synchron pulls the cord on its back, turn into three stars, those stars turn into rings, and the rings surround Tuningware causing it to become transparent.

 

Naruto thinks in his mind, with a sly smile, “Isn’t that classic? Junk Warrior, huh?” On the meanwhile, a column of light appears on the field as Davis gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck.

 

Davis yells out, “Clustering hopes form a new racing star! Become the light its hope shines upon! Synchro Summon!” Davis shouts out, putting the Synchro Monster card on his disk, “Speed into battle, Junk Speeder!” Out of the light, Junk Speeder (1800/1000), a bluish-white and dark blue upgraded version of Speed Warrior, appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Naruto says, with a surprised look on his face, “Well, I didn’t expect that.”

 

Davis tells Naruto, “You might be the ‘most unpredictable ninja’ back home, but here, you aren’t the only one with the ‘unpredictable’ title.”

 

Naruto says, with a grin, “Something tells me that you are right. And that just makes me more excited!”

 

Davis says, seriously, “Let’s see if I can ‘cool that down’ then! Junk Speeder’s ability activates! When Synchro Summoned, I can summon as many Synchron monsters from my deck as possible, but they have to be different levels in return!” Three cards come out of Davis’ deck causing him to yell out, as he puts them on his disk, “Drill Synchron! Unknown Synchron! And finally, Quickdraw Synchron! Come on down!” Drill Synchron (800/300), Unknown Synchron (0/0), and Quickdraw Synchron (700/1400) appears on the field in defense mode in which Davis says, while drawing a card, “Also, due to Tuningware, since he was used to Synchro Summon, I get one more card!”

 

Naruto says, looking at the monsters on Davis, “This is going to get interesting.”

 

Davis says, “More so than you think! Now, I tune Quickdraw Synchron with Speed Warrior!” Quickdraw Synchron turns into five stars that turn into five rings that surround Speed Warrior, turning it transparent, and when Davis gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, a column of light appears on the field. Davis then says, “Clustering anger brings with it a warrior from a fierce god. Become the path that lights the way! Synchro Summon!” Davis puts the Synchro Monster card on his disk, and he shouts out, “Cut through them with fury, Junk Berserker!” Out of the light, Junk Berserker (2700/1800) comes to the field in attack mode where Davis then says, “Then I tune Drill Warrior with Junk Speeder!” Drill Warrior turns into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Junk Speeder, turning it transparent, and when Davis gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, a column of light appears on the field. Davis then says, “Clustering hopes will become a new shining star! Become the path its light shines upon! Synchro Summon!” Davis puts the Synchro Monster card on his disk, and he shouts out, “Let’s rev it up, Stardust Dragon!” Out of the light, Stardust Dragon (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode. Davis says, “Then I activate Junk Berserker’s ability! I remove one Junk monster from my graveyard and one of your monsters loses attack points equal to the attack of the monster that I remove!” Junk Speeder (1800/1000) Synchro Monster card comes out of the graveyard slot causing Davis to say, “I remove Junk Speeder to speed through your dragon’s attack points!” Junk Berserker’s axe glows and he slams it into the ground where a ‘ghost’ of Junk Speeder speed in and kicks Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend in the gut causing it to roar as it goes from 3000/2500 down to 1200/2500.

 

Naruto says, “That’s a low blow!”

 

Davis responds, “All’s fair in love, war, and dueling, buster!”

Naruto says, with a grin, “You have got a point!”

 

Davis tells Naruto, with a plain tone, “Yeah, I can see that since you turned your life into a harem anime and manga.”

 

Naruto responds, “Can you blame me? I’ve been denied love ever since I was born, so, you can’t really blame me for not ‘appreciating’ all the love given to me now. Don’t get me wrong. I love Hinata-chan, Sakura-chan, and all of my ‘girls’ in my harem equally and with all of my heart since they love and devote to me in turn, but like in plenty of fanfiction about me, I’m not above allowing others to join me if they feel that way about me, believe it.”

 

Davis replies, plainly and a bit nervously, “Okay…” Davis tells Naruto, “Then what will you do if you have a chance to go back?”

 

Naruto responds, with a curious quirk of his right eyebrow, “Come on, didn’t I explain that before?”

 

Davis says, “Yeah, you did.”

 

Naruto retorts, with a plain tone, “I meant what I said, believe it. If I have a chance to go back, I’m going to make sure that my world is safe because there are a lot of good people over there. Old Man Tazuna, Tsunami, Inari, Koyuki, Shion, Shizuka, and so many others! I’m going to protect them even if it is from my former so-called home.” As Davis gives a really interested look, Naruto says, “I’ve read a lot of the fanfics about yours truly and personally, those lot that show that village as traitors to the ‘Will of Fire’ from Granny Tsunade’s grandfather, the First Hokage, and the Second Hokage, as well as my dad, are more ‘fact than fiction’ in my view! And they are becoming arrogant pricks like in them too! Personally, I think that it is damn well time that they get off their high horse, you know!”

 

Davis asks, with a serious glare, “And you intent to ‘humble’ them, huh?”

 

Naruto responds, with a wide mischievous grin, “Oh, maybe I’ll do more than that since I already found a way to get Kurama out of my body without killing myself.”

 

Davis asks, surprised, “You what?!”

 

Naruto says, with a smirk, “Why are you so surprised? There are plenty of fanfics about yours truly finding a way to do that. In fact, it was those that inspired me to do that and I also found a way to keep a ‘link’ with Kurama in which Kurama can go back in my body just in case. Oh, yeah. He also can’t be sealed due to that ‘link’ and I made sure to make sure that Sharingan and Wood Style can’t affect him anymore.”

 

Davis says, “Kurama must have been happy about that.”

 

Naruto says, with a wide grin, “Oh, you better believe it! And he is willing to do me a favor through going on a rampage on the Leaf is free.”

 

Davis asks, with a glare, “And you would do that?”

 

Naruto responds, with his own intense glare, “Whatever it takes! If that backstabbing place hasn’t learned its lesson, then they have no right to exist! They’ve already shown that they have become a nest of vipers and rats! Something that the first two Hokage along with my dad would be completely ashamed of, believe it! Plenty of those fanfics about me have a point! If they aren’t kept in check, they are going to cause as much problems as the Akatsuki, who by the way are being really led by two former Leaf ninja AKA Obito Uchiha, who is the pawn of Madara Uchiha, the most insane asshole in our world’s history. They have to be put in check, or my world gets put into the crapper! And like I said before, there are too many good people in the world to let that happen!”

 

Davis asks Naruto, seriously, “So, it is your way or the ‘highway’?”

 

Naruto responds, with a plain tone and nodding his head, “They wanted me to be their ‘obedient fox’, now, they have to live with the reverse with them having to follow my rules if they want to still exist!” As Davis and Naruto continue to race on their duel runners, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend and Stardust Dragon roar out as they face each other.

 

Davis says, “I can’t believe you are one of us!”

 

Naruto responds, “Look, dude, I had to grow up. And protecting the world isn’t so black and white!” Naruto tells Davis, “Let’s find out who’s ‘right or wrong’ here! Give me your best shot!”

 

Davis says, putting one card on his disk, “My pleasure! I activate my Ancient Rules! This card allows me to summon one level five or above non-effect monster! And I choose Luster Dragon number two!” Davis puts one card on his disk and Luster Dragon #2 (2400/1400) appears on the field in attack mode causing Davis to say, “I tune Unknown Synchron with Luster Dragon number two!” Unknown Synchron turns into one star that turns into one ring that surrounds Luster Dragon #2, turning it transparent, and when Davis gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, a column of light appears on the field. Davis then says, “Docking strength with courage to protect world peace! Synchro Summon!” Davis puts the Synchro Monster card on his disk, and he yells out, “Time with the monster with major metal: Power Tool Dragon!” Out of the light, Power Tool Dragon (2300/2500) appears on the field in attack mode where Davis says, “Power Tool Dragon’s ability now activates! I choose three equip spell cards from my deck and you choose one that goes into my hand where the rest return to my deck!”

 

Three cards come out of Davis’ deck and Davis displays them causing Naruto to say, pointing to one of them, “I choose the right one!” Davis puts that card into his ‘hand’ AKA his runner’s card holder while he returns the other two to his deck where it is reshuffled.

 

Davis shouts out, “Stardust Dragon! It is time to take out his Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend! Go, Cosmic Flare!” Stardust Dragon unleashes a powerful beam of cosmic energy right at Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend.

 

Naruto says, pushing a button on his disk’s touch screen, “Not so fast! I activate my trap: Half or Nothing!” Naruto’s face-down card is revealed to be the trap card known as Half or Nothing and Naruto says, “Now, you must make a choice! You can either half the attack of all monsters that you have out on the field until the end of your Battle Phase or end your Battle Phase!”

 

Davis says, with a plain tone, “I’m not afraid! I’m continuing the fight!” Stardust Dragon’s stats go down from 2500/2000 to 1250/2000, Junk Berserker goes from 2700/1800 down to 1350/1800, and Power Tool Dragon goes down from 2300/2500 to 1150/2500 where Stardust Dragon’s attack slams into Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, destroying it in an explosion, but Naruto only blinks as he loses just 50 life-points. Davis says, “You may have limited the damage, but you are wide open!”

 

A dark male voice booms in his mind, “That’s right! Take him down! Show this fox and the world the might that you possess!”

 

Davis mentally shakes off the voice for the moment and he shouts out, “Junk Berserker, direct attack!”

 

As Junk Berserker prepares to attack, Naruto yells out, pushing a button on his disk, “Wrong! I activate my other trap: Reject Reborn!” Naruto’s other face-down card is revealed to be the Reject Reborn trap card causing Naruto to say, “Since you attacked directly, I can summon one Synchro Monster and a Tuner Monster from my graveyard, but their abilities are negated! Come on back, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend! And join in Force Resonator!” Soon after, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2500) appears on the field in attack mode with Force Resonator (500/500) appearing on the field in defense mode. Naruto says, with his classic foxy grin, “Oh, by the way, this card also ends the Battle Phase too!”

 

Davis says, putting two cards into the main slot of his disk, “I end my turn with two face-downs!” Just then Stardust Dragon goes back to its original 2500/2000, Junk Berserker also goes back to its original 2700/1800, and Power Tool Dragon goes back to its original 2300/2500 since the effect of Naruto’s trap card is finished.

 

Current Scores:

Davis: 4000

Naruto: 3950

 

Naruto says, drawing a card, “Then it is my turn! I draw!” Naruto says, putting one card into the main slot, “I play Synchro Creed! Since there are three or more Synchro Monsters out on the field, I get two more cards from my deck!” Naruto draws two cards which causes him to say, putting one card on his disk, “Then I play Red Resonator in attack mode!” Red Resonator (600/200) appears on the field in attack mode where Naruto says, putting another card on his disk, “Since he was Normal Summoned, I can play one level four or lower monster from my hand! I think that Top Runner will do nicely!” Top Runner (1100/800) appears on the field in attack mode causing Naruto to say, “Top Runner increases the power of all Synchro Monsters that I control by six hundred!” Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend then goes up from 3000/2500 to 3600/2500 due to Top Runner’s ability and Naruto says, putting one more card on his disk, “Since I have a Fiend monster that has fifteen hundred attack points or less on my field, I can play Wandering King Wildwind!” Soon after, Wandering King Wildwind (1700/1300) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Davis thinks in his mind, nervously, “Oh, great!”

 

Naruto yells out, “I tune Top Runner with Wandering King Wildwind!” Top Runner turns into four stars that turn into four rings that surround Wandering King Wildwind, turning it transparent, and when Naruto gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, a column of light appears on the field where Naruto says, “Flash of light that splits the sea of stars, shake our souls and roar through the world! Synchro Summon!” Naruto puts the Synchro Monster card on his disk and Naruto shouts out, “One Stardust deservers another with Stardust Spark Dragon!” Out of the light, Stardust Spark Dragon (2500/2000) comes to the field in attack mode while Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend goes back down to its original 3000/2500 since Top Runner left the field. As the two versions of Stardust Dragons roar out at each other, Naruto shouts out, as he glows a bright crimson, “Next, it is time to show you the power of my Burning Soul! I double tune Force Resonator and Red Resonator with Red Dragon Archfiend!” Force Resonator and Red Resonator turn into two flaming rings, each, and all four flaming rings surround Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, turning it transparent, and when Naruto gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, a powerful column of light appears on the field. Naruto shouts out, “The King and the Fiend, here and now, shall become one! A raging spirit! Lift up the very cries of creation itself! Synchro Summon!” Naruto yells out, putting the Synchro Monster card on his disk, “Blaze on to victory, Red Nova Dragon!” Out of the light, Red Nova Dragon (3500/3000-5000/3000) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Davis says, “Leave it to you to come up with this surprise.”

 

Naruto says, with a wide smirk, “Oh, I’m not close to being done yet!” Naruto says, putting the Action Card into the main slot of his disk, “I activate my Action Spell: Luck of the Draw! When I play this card, I draw the top card of my deck and if it is a monster, I get to play it! Anything else is discarded!” Naruto draws a card from his deck, and he says, putting the card on his disk, “What do you know? It’s Red Mirror!” Red Mirror (0/0) appears on the field in attack mode causing Naruto to say, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “Then I activate my Card of Sanctity! Both of us must draw until we have six cards in our hands!”

 

Davis says, putting the Action Card in his hand into the main slot of his disk, “Action Magic: Candy Coat! One of my monsters is unaffected by spell and trap cards this turn, and it can’t be destroyed by battle! I choose Power Tool Dragon!” Power Tool Dragon then gets covered in a thick crystalized brown sugar coating. Soon after, both Naruto and Davis draw from their decks until each of them have half-a-dozen cards in their respective hands.

 

Naruto says, putting one card on his disk, “Since I have a level eight or higher Synchro Monster on my field, I can play Creation Resonator from my hand!” Just then Creation Resonator (800/600) appears on the field in attack mode causing Naruto to say, “Then I tune Creation Resonator with Red Mirror!” Creation Resonator turns into three stars that turn into three rings that surround Red Mirror, turning it transparent, and when Naruto gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, a column of light appears on the field in which Naruto says, “Dragon of power, surge through the cosmos and create a mighty howl! Synchro Summon!” Naruto yells out, putting the Synchro Monster card on his disk, “Strike through, Phonon Pulse Dragon!” Out of the light, Phonon Pulse Dragon (1900/800), a black dragon with golden armor with multiple jewels on the armor, appears on the field in attack mode. Naruto says, “Pulse Dragon’s ability! I can make its level one through three when it is Synchro Summoned, and I choose level two!”

 

Davis asks, curiously, “Why…?” Just then Davis’ eyes widen at a realization and Naruto smirks at this.

 

Naruto says, with a wide grin, “I see that you are getting what I’m playing at. So, let’s rock!” Naruto then races forward as he, his runner, and his monsters start becoming a blur.

 

Davis shouts out, in disbelief, “No way!”

 

Naruto yells out, “You aren’t the only one with Clear Mind ability, believe it! I tune my level two Synchro Tuner, Phonon Pulse Dragon, with Stardust Spark Dragon!” Phonon Pulse Dragon turns into two stars that race far ahead of Naruto and his runner that turn into two massive rings in which Naruto’s runner greatly increases in speed as Naruto and his runner goes through them. Naruto shouts out, “All thoughts spun by the tracks of falling stars, join our bonds and fill the world! Accel Synchro!” Naruto takes out a blank Synchro Monster card in which writing and a picture appears on it before Naruto, his runner, and monsters vanish in a bright flash causing Davis to give a look of shock until a portal opens behind him where Naruto, Red Nova Dragon, and another monster burst out. Naruto shouts out, “Descend, Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon!” The second monster is then revealed to be Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon (3000/2500), a golden and violet version of Stardust Dragon/Stardust Spark Dragon with shining golden wings, in attack mode.

 

(Back with everyone else; on the meanwhile)

 

With the others, plenty of them are shocked and Yolei yells out, flabbergasted, “Hold up! I thought that was Davis’ and Yusei’s thing!”

 

TK responds, stunned, “Not anymore.”

 

Hinata says, with a smile, “That’s Naruto-kun for you.”

 

Sakura says, with a grin, “Yep. That’s why everyone else that faces him keeps losing to him in the end. They always underestimate him and that’s when they get their asses kicked.”

 

Homura says, with a wide grin, “You know it, girlfriend!”

 

Sailor Sun says, worriedly, “Dai-kun.”

 

(Returning to Davis and Naruto; a brief afterwards)

 

Back with the racing Naruto and Davis, Naruto tells Davis, “And since two more Tuner monsters are in the grave, Red Nova Dragon gains a grand in attack points!” Red Nova Dragon’s stats then goes up from 5000/3000 up to 6000/3000 due to its ability with two more Tuner monsters in the graveyard. Naruto shouts out, “Battle! Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon, now, attacks Junk Berserker! Feel the burn with Shooting Shine Blast!” Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon then fires a golden beam straight Junk Berserker in which Davis scoops up an Action Card.

 

Davis puts the Action Card into the main slot of his disk, and he yells out, “Action Magic: Evade! I avoid your attack…!!”

 

However, Naruto retorts, putting his own Action Card that he had just picked up into the main slot of his disk, “Action Magic: No Action! Your Action Card is negated and destroyed!” Davis winches as Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon’s attack slams into Jerk Berserker and he roars out as he is destroyed causing Davis to flinch as the shockwave of his monster’s destruction hits him where it costs him 300 life-points.

 

Davis says, pushing a button on his disk’s touch screen, “I play my trap: Mirror Synchro!” Davis’ face-down card is revealed to be a trap card with a picture of a Synchro Monster in front of a mirror with another Synchro Monster being ‘reflected’ in the mirror causing Davis to say, “Thanks to this trap, when a Synchro Monster is destroyed in battle, I can summon another Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck with the same level as my destroyed Synchro Monster, but its abilities are negated! I choose Shooting Riser Dragon!” Davis puts a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck on his disk and Shooting Riser Dragon (2100/1700), a smaller version of Shooting Star Dragon, appears on the field in defense mode.

 

Naruto says, with a grin, “That won’t save your partner! Red Nova, time to show Stardust why you are top of the food chain! Burning Soul Slash!” Engulfed in flames, Red Nova Dragon divebombs Stardust Dragon, but Davis then points to something in which Power Tool Dragon uses his shovel ‘hand’ to knock down another Action Card to Davis.

 

Davis says, putting the Action Card into the main slot of his disk, “Action Magic: Miracle! Stardust isn’t destroyed and battle damage is cut in half!” Stardust crosses his arms as Red Nova Dragon slams into him and Davis grunts out as flames from Red Nova ‘lick’ him as the shockwave of the clash causing Davis’ runner to become unsteady as Davis loses 1750 life-points.

 

Naruto says, with a grin, “Not bad!” Naruto says, putting two cards into the main slot of his disk, “Then I place two cards face-down and call it a turn!”

 

Current Scores:

Davis: 1950

Naruto: 395 0

 

Davis says, drawing a card, “My move then!” Davis says, “I activate Power Tool’s ability!” Three cards come out of Davis’ deck and he displays them to Naruto.

 

Naruto says, pointing to one of the cards, “The one in the middle.” Davis puts that into his runner’s card holder AKA his ‘hand’ and returns the other two cards to his deck causing his deck to be shuffled.

 

Davis then puts one card into the main slot of his disk causing him to say, “Then I play my Synchro Exchange School! I return one Synchro Monster from my field to my Extra Deck and I can summon another one that’s the same level that I returned, but its abilities are negated! I return Power Tool to my deck!” Power Tool Dragon vanishes from the field, Davis puts its card back into its Extra Deck, and he then says, as he puts another Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck on his disk, “Appear, Black Rose Dragon!” Soon after, Black Rose Dragon (2400/1800) appears on the field in attack mode causing Davis to say, putting another card into the main slot of his disk, “Then I play my Synchron Reflection! I pick one Synchro Monster on my field and then I can summon another one that has the same level as the one that I picked, but this new Synchro Monster has its abilities negated! I choose Stardust Dragon on my field!” Stardust Dragon then glows brightly, and Davis says, putting a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck on his disk, “Roar to power, Red Dragon Archfiend!” Out of Stardust’s ‘shadow’, Red Dragon Archfiend (3000/2000) appears on the field in attack mode causing to Davis to say, putting another card into the main slot of his disk, “Then I play my Synchro Shadow! I choose one Synchro monster on your field and I can play one Synchro Monster that’s a lower level than yours, but after that, you get one card for every Synchro Monster on my field! I choose your Stardust!” Just then Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon’s ‘shadow’ extents outwards and Davis says, putting a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck on his disk, “I choose Black-Winged Dragon!” Out of Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon’s ‘shadow’, Black-Winged Dragon (2800/1600) comes to the field in attack mode while Naruto draws five cards from his deck.

 

Naruto asks, “Are you sure that you want to give me new cards?”

 

Davis responds, with a grin, “You won’t get the chance to use them!” Davis says, putting one more card into the main slot of his disk, “I activate my Synchro Re-Tuning! I choose one Tuner monster in my graveyard and all Synchro Monster, expect for Synchro-Tuner monsters, become the same level! I choose Unknown Synchron and now, all of my Synchro Monster, minus Shooting Riser, are now level one!”

Naruto says, his eyes widening, “Wait!”

 

Davis says, putting another card into the main slot of his disk, “Then I equip Shooting Riser with Synchro Boost! It boosts its attack points by five hundred and increases it level by one!” Shooting Riser Dragon then goes up from 2100/1600 to 2600/1600 in which Davis then closes his eyes as a golden glow starts to surround him and his runner, but it starts to flicker on and off as Davis’ mind is bombarded by images including the mysterious ‘dark humanoid dragon’, however, for the moment, Davis ‘banishes’ those images from his mind. Davis shouts out, “You might have learned to use Accel Synchro and Clear Mind, but I’m the master of it, buster! Over Top Clear Mind!”

 

(Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds music ‘Clear Mind’ starts)

 

Davis shouts out, as he swirls around as he flies/races into the sky, “I tune Shooting Riser Dragon with Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Red Dragon Archfiend, and Black-Winged Dragon!” Shooting Riser Dragon roars out as it transforms into eight massive silver rings that surround Davis and the four other dragons as they race through the rings causing them to go faster and faster. Davis shouts out, “When the hopes and dreams of all come together to become one, new bonds bring forth the new future! Become the path that lights the way! Infinite Limit Over Accel Synchro!” A new blank Synchro Monster card appears in Davis’ right hand and writing as well as a picture appears on the field as an immense bright light engulfs him and the other dragons, forcing everyone else to cover their eyes, and Davis shouts out, “Race into the new tomorrow, Shooting Cosmos Dragon!” When the light dies down, as quickly as it appeared, everyone, when they are able to see, look up and they are stunned to see Davis flying up in the sky with Shooting Cosmos Dragon (4500/4500), a golden version of Yusei’s Shooting Quasar Dragon, looms behind and over everyone in attack mode.

 

Naruto shouts out, in flabbergasted tone and expression, “No freaking way!”

 

Davis tells Naruto, with a sly grin, “You aren’t the only one that has unpredictability on their side, Naruto! There is a reason that I’m the Star Dragon King and you are about to find out! Shooting Cosmos Dragon’s ability makes it immune to all of your spell, trap, and monster effects for this turn! Shooting Cosmos Dragon, attack Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon! Cosmos Force!”

 

Shooting Cosmos Dragon fires a powerful beam of stars and meteors right at Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon and Naruto thinks in his mind, “That means that I can’t use Magic Cylinder against this attack!” Shooting Cosmos Dragon’s attack slams into Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon causing it to roar as it is destroyed in a massive explosion in which Naruto yelps out as he ‘shook up’ by the shockwave that costs him 1500 life-points.

 

(Back with everyone else; on the meanwhile)

 

Returning to the other, those with Naruto’s group gasp in shock causing Hinata to yell out, worriedly, “Naruto-kun!”

 

Homura says, seriously, “Don’t worry, this isn’t over yet!”

 

Tai says, with a wide grin, “Don’t count on it! Knowing Davis, he is FAR from done yet!”

 

(Returning to Davis and Naruto; shortly thereafter)

 

Seemly to prove Tai’s point, Davis shouts out, as he gets a Synchro Monster card from his Extra Deck, “Shooting Cosmos’ Dragon ability second ability activates! When it destroys another Synchro Monster, I can summon one Synchro Monster from my Extra Deck of the same level as your destroyed Synchro Monster! Rev it up, Shooting Star Dragon!” Davis puts the Synchro Monster card on his disk and Shooting Cosmos Dragon gives off ‘stardust’ in which Shooting Star Dragon (3300/2500) appears on the field in attack mode causing Davis to say, drawing the top five cards of his deck, “Shooting Star Dragon’s ability activates! I reveal the top five cards of my deck and Shooting Star Dragon can attack for every Tuner revealed!” Davis then displays Galaxy Serpent (1000/0), Flamvell Guard (100/2000), Magna Drago (1400/600), Dragunity Pilum (1400/1000), and Dragunity Corsesca (800/700) causing Davis to shout out, “I’ve drawn FIVE Tuner monsters that means that Shooting Star Dragon can attack five times!” Davis returns to the cards to his deck, which is reshuffled, and he yells out, “Shooting Star Dragon, it is time to attack! Finish off Red Nova Dragon with Stardust Mirage!”

 

Shooting Star Dragon charges right for Red Nova Dragon and Naruto asks, confused, “Hold up! Your dragon is weaker than mine, so, what’s the deal?”

 

Davis says, putting an Action Card into the main slot of his disk, “This is the deal! Action Magic: Striker Spear! When a monster of mine attacks, during this attack, it gets attack power multiplied by the number of times that I can currently attack this turn including this attack!”

 

Naruto asks, shocked, “Wait! Since Shooting Star is allowed to attack five times…?”

 

Davis shouts out, with a grin, “For this attack, Shooting Star Dragon’s attack points are multiplied times FIVE!” Shooting Star Dragon roars out as it goes from 3300/2500 to 16,500/2500 due to the Action Card’s effect!

 

Naruto says, pushing a button on his disk’s touch screen, “I activate my trap: Magic Cylinder!” Naruto’s face-down card is revealed to be Magic Cylinder trap card and Naruto says, with a grin, “Sorry, but this trap card stops your attack and slams you with the damage to your monster’s attack points!”

 

Davis says, pushing a button on his disk’s touch screen, “Not with my Trap Jammer on the field!” Davis’ final face-down card is revealed to be the Trap Jammer counter-trap card and Davis says, “Thanks to this guy, your trap card, since you played it during battle, is negated and destroyed!”

 

The ‘image’ of Naruto’s Magic Cylinder trap card glows and then ‘shatters’ in which Naruto says, “Then I activate Red Nova Dragon’s ability and remove it play from play to negate your dragon’s attack!”

 

Davis responds, “Not with Shooting Cosmos Dragon’s ability! Since you targeted another Synchro Monster of mine when Shooting Cosmos is out, your card’s effect is negated and if this effect is used on a Synchro Monster, its loses all of its special abilities! That means that your Red Nova is even weaker!” Red Nova Dragon roars out in pain as golden sparks come from it and Red Nova Dragon goes down from 6000/3000 back to 3500/3000 due to the loss of its special ability as Shooting Star Dragon ‘divides’ into five different colored versions of itself that dive down on Red Nova Dragon.

 

Naruto yells out, strongly, “I’m far from done!” Naruto grabs an Action Card, looks at it, and he yells out, putting the Action Card into the main slot of his disk, “I play Action Magic: One-Shot Run! When my monster is attacked, I can make my monster’s power equal yours and both of us take damage equal that number when our monsters are destroyed! Plus, this battle can’t be stopped by any means!” Davis gives a look of shock and surprise while Red Nova Dragon glows crimson as it goes up from 3500/3000 to 16,500/3000 causing Naruto to shout out, “Let’s go out with a bang, Red Nova! Counterattack!” Red Nova Dragon, surrounded by flames, charges right for Shooting Star Dragon at full speed.

 

Davis shouts out, “You’re on!”

 

Naruto yells out, strongly, “Burning Soul Slash!”

 

Davis yells out, strongly, “Stardust Mirage!” Shooting Star Dragon and Red Nova Dragon charge at each other and when they collide, they cause an immense explosion of power that creates a massive shockwave that shakes the whole area from the violence of the explosion while also creating immense dirt and smoke cloud with powerful winds that covers Davis and Naruto as they scream out as they are sent flying due to the shockwave of the explosion as both of them lose 16,500 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Scores:

Davis: 0 (tie)

Naruto: 0 (tie)

 

(Yu-Gi-Oh 5Ds music ‘Clear Mind’ ends)

 

(Returning to everyone else; around this same moment)

 

At this time, plenty of the other shout out in shock as they are slammed by the shockwave and winds from the explosive clash of Shooting Star Dragon and Red Nova Dragon.

 

Sailor Venus shouts out, stunned, “Whoa!”

 

Yolei yells out, shocked, “Are they crazy?!”

Sailor Sun shouts out, really worriedly, “Dai-kun!”

 

Tai, Ken, and Veemon yell out in unison, worriedly, “Davis!”

 

Sakura, Hinata, and the Crimson Squad shout out in unison, worriedly, “Naruto/Naruto-kun!” When the explosion along with the shockwave and winds die down, the group prepares to rush over to Davis and Naruto.

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “Naruto…”

 

(Back with Davis and Naruto; a short time afterwards)

 

As the smoke and dust from the explosive clash of Red Nova Dragon and Shooting Star Dragon clear up, Naruto’s Duel Runner is lying down on the ground with Naruto flopped on top of it while Davis, back in his regular outfit, is lying down on the ground on his back.

 

Both of them groan out and Davis asks, weakly and clearly ‘out of it’, “Did anyone get the license of that bus?”

 

Naruto responds, weakly and in the same ‘condition’, “Probably driven by the same jerk that hit me with my own Rasengan, believe it.” As the two of them struggle to get onto their feet and get to their ‘senses’, they quickly fall back down with Davis sitting on the ground on his bottom while Naruto sits on top of his runner. Naruto says, “Guess that’s a draw.”

 

Davis asks, “Ready for a second round?”

 

Naruto responds, with a grin, “Anytime…”

 

But then a familiar female voice shouts out, “Oh no, you don’t!” The two of them look to see Sailor Celestial and the rest of the Sailor Scouts of the group arriving on the scene.

 

Sailor Jupiter says, “No way that you are doing that again! Next time, there might not be much left of the area after what you, two, did!”

 

As the others come onto the scene, Sailor Celestial goes over to Naruto and she says, “Naruto, just give me Yuuko’s duel disk. After I seal up those cards, I’m going to be sealing up these cards myself!”

 

Sailor Mercury asks, “Where will you seal them away?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Deep in another dimension.”

 

There are looks of surprise and Tai asks, amazed, “Seriously?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “I plan to seal them in a crystal, put that in an asteroid, and then put them in another dimension.”

 

Sailor Venus asks, curiously, “Isn’t that a bit overkill?”

 

Sailor Uranus retorts, “Venus, we are dealing with cards that could destroy the world to completely ‘unravel’ reality itself.”

 

Hawkmon says, “She has a good point.”

 

Yolei says, with a nod, “Big time, Hawkmon.”

 

Patamon says, nodding his head in agreement, “No kidding.” Naruto takes Yuuko’s duel disk out of the seal, gives it to Sailor Celestial, and Sailor Celestial then removes Ultimaya Tzolkin (0/0) and Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin (0/0) Synchro Monster cards with Genesis Omega Dragon (0/0) Pendulum monster card.

 

Sailor Celestial says, looking at those cards, “These won’t cause any more problems again.”

 

Just then a male voice says, “Hopefully not.” Everyone looks towards the source of the voice to see Declan seemly carrying an unconscious Tea Gardner, bridal style, in his arms over to them.

 

Rika says, “Hey, you are the guy that was with Kaiba-dono and Mokuba-dono!”

 

Declan says, “The name is Declan, young lady.”

 

Sailor Saturn asks, surprised, “What’s Tea-san doing back here?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a plain tone, “That’s Tea-san, Firefly, but it isn’t the same Tea Gardner that I sent back to her time.”

 

There are a few confused looks and Izzy responds, “You mean that alternate version of Tea-san that Yuuko brought to this timeline using Genesis Omega Dragon!”

 

There are gasps of shock and Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “Correct.”

 

Declan lays Tea on the ground and he says, “I found her unconscious on the ground. It seems like when both versions of Yuuko Kamishimo were defeated, she was revived.”

 

Sailor Orion’s eyes narrow and Keiko says, nervously, “Uh oh!”

 

Hiyori asks Keiko, “What’s wrong, Keiko?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “I’m going to need a bit of help to look around.”

 

Sailor Star asks, “For who?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Your ‘old friend’, Oberon.”

 

Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Kazuto yell out in unison, shocked, “Oberon?!”

 

Rika says, with a nod, “Oh, yeah! Yuuko turned Sugou into a Dark Signer and Sinon defeated him.”

 

Naruto says, with a grin, “With style!”

 

Sailor Orion says, plainly, “It wasn’t that difficult.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “However, if this alternate version of Tea-san has been revived, then…” Just then everyone looks to see Sailor Nebula taking off into the distance.

 

Sailor Moon says, concerned, “Molly!”

 

Kotone asks, curiously, “Where is she going?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, plainly, “Nephrite…”

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, “Hold on! He wasn’t a Dark Signer, right?”

 

Sailor Mars says, shaking her head, “No, but he used the powers of the Shadow Realm and when he lost…Well, you know what happened when you lose a Shadow Game.”

 

Tai says, plainly, “No kidding.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, his eyes narrowing, “But we know who has become a Dark Signer.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “We had better get to work on that.”

 

Sailor Neptune says, with a nod, “I agree.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, nodding her head in agreement, “Indeed.”

 

Sailor Orion starts to head off and Sailor Star tells her, “I’ll go with you.”

 

Kazuto tells Sailor Star, “Asuna…”

 

Sailor Star tells Kazuto, with a warm smile, “I’ll be fine, Kirito-kun.”

 

Sakura asks Declan, “So, what now?”

 

Hinata says, “You wanted Genesis Omega Dragon too.”

Declan says, looking at Sailor Celestial, “Let’s just say that I know better than to mess with someone that’s the ‘Warrior of Reality’. My Sailor Celestial is the same way.”

 

More surprised looks come from the others and Tai asks, confused, “Your Sailor Celestial?”

 

Sailor Mercury says, her computer out, “His temporal signature doesn’t match our universe.”

 

There are quite a few gasps of shock and Yolei says, “That means that he is from an alternate universe.”

 

Declan says, with a plain tone, “Yes, that’s correct.” There are looks of shock from plenty of the others and Declan says, “This timeline is quite different yet very similar to the one that I come from and all of you don’t seem that much different expect for quite a few differences. One that I should warn you about.”

 

Kazuto asks, “Warn us?”

 

Declan says, with a plain tone and a nod, “Your Sailor Celestial hasn’t learned the limits of her mortality.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, curiously, “My mortality?”

 

Declan responds, plainly, “My Earth learned that heroes are truly all too human…and all too mortal. That even through considered the ‘mightiest’ can fall. Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial are considered the strongest of this world…maybe of this universe. They give this world hope. What would happen if that hope is gone?” Plenty of the others have their eyes widen at Declan’s ‘remarks’ causing Declan to say, “Something that you may need to consider. Farewell. We may see each other again.” Declan then pushes a button on his duel disk causing him to ‘vanish’ via teleportation.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Wait!” However, Declan is already gone, and he has left plenty of our heroes and heroines confused.

 

Davis asks, in a confused tone, “What was that all about?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “A warning. Not a ‘threatening warning’, but a warning. A warning born from experience.”

 

Sailor Saturn asks, “A warning born out of experience?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “That’s the ‘feeling’ that I got from him.” This causes plenty of curious looks from our heroes and heroines with Sailor Celestial and Sailor Moon looking at each other.

 

May 27, 2026, Japan

 

That evening, we find Sugou Nobuyuki inside of a jail cell with Sailor Orion, Sailor Star, and the Outer Sailor Scouts talking with the prison warden.

 

The warden says, “Thank you for bringing this sicko back. We can’t be sure how he got out at all.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Just make sure to keep a close eye on him.”

 

The warden replies, with a nod, “Indeed.” The warden says, glaring at Sugou, “This piece of trash won’t be getting away again.”

 

Sailor Neptune says, with a smile, “We’ll leave him in your hands.”

 

The warden replies, with a nod, “Thank you.”

 

The half-a-dozen Sailor Scouts take their leave and Sailor Orion whispers, “I injected a special tracking device on him.”

 

Sailor Uranus responds, in a whisper with a smirk, “Good work, Orion.”

 

Sailor Star asks, in a whisper with a nervous tone, “Is that really necessary?”

 

Sailor Orion responds, in a whisper, “Let’s not take any chance.” Sailor Star gives a sigh while Sailor Uranus is grinning from ear to ear while Sailor Saturn shakes her head causing both Sailor Neptune and Sailor Pluto to smile at that, but Sailor Pluto gets a bit flush as a thought enters her mind.

 

May 27, 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

That same evening, Camula, the vampire duelist that was part of the Shadow Riders, screams out as she is turned into ash by an attack from Sailor Sun, who is flanked by UlforceVeedramon, Veemon’s Mega Form, Magnadramon, Gatomon’s ‘dragon’ Mega form, Davis, in his Light Hawk armor, Sailor Moon, Mastemon, the DNA Mega form of Gatomon (Serena) and BlackGatomon, Tuxedo Mask, and Sailor Mercury, who is using an ice dome to cover some unconscious people.

 

Magnadramon says, “Goodbye and good riddance.”

 

Davis says, with a smirk, “She wasn’t so tough!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Most likely due to the fact that she relied more on her dueling skills and Shadow Charm powers rather than her ‘natural abilities’ as a vampire.”

 

Sailor Moon asks Sailor Mercury, “How are they?”

 

Sailor Mercury says, her visor active and she is using her mini-computer, “They are just fine, Sailor Moon. The anti-mutagen is reversing the mutagen in their system. They will be back to normal in no time.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Good work, Mercury.”

 

UlforceVeedramon says, “That’s another ‘loose end’ finished.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “True. However, Nephrite hasn’t been found. And since the alternate version of Tea-san and Sugou have been revived…”

 

Davis says, “It is pretty damn obvious that he is back as well.”

 

Sailor Sun asks Sailor Moon, “How is Molly doing?”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “I wish that I knew.”

Tuxedo Mask tells Sailor Moon, “We need to believe in her.”

Sailor Moon responds, “I will always believe in her, Darien-kun.”

 

Tuxedo Mask smiles at Sailor Moon and UlforceVeedramon asks, “What about the alternate version of Tea-san?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a sigh and plain tone, “That’s the problem. Since she was drawn from another timeline created by Genesis Omega Dragon, Sailor Pluto can’t seem to send her back to whatever timeline that she came from.”

 

Sailor Sun asks, concerned, “So, she has no home to return to?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “It seems so.”

 

Sailor Moon says, solemnly, “That’s so sad.”

 

Davis asks, “So, what’s happening with those cards?”

 

Tuxedo Mask responds, “Suguha is doing EXACTLY what she said that she was going to do.”

 

May 27, 2026, Outer Space

 

Within Outer Space, around this same time, Sailor Celestial, protected by a field to allow her to be in space without a space suit, is indeed doing EXACTLY what she said was going to do with the Genesis Omega Dragon (0/0) Pendulum Monster card along with the Ultimaya Tzolkin (0/0) and Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin (0/0) Synchro Monster cards where she has sealed them within a crystal made of crystalized Etherion, known as Energist, where she is sealing them within the core of a massive asteroid within the asteroid belt that divides the planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars from the rest of the solar system.

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “Now, to take this to Pluto to get her help in opening a gateway into a dimension where this will NEVER be found.” Sailor Celestial goes over to the asteroid that she sealed the ‘cards’ away in and she and the asteroid vanish via teleportation.

 

May 27, 2026, Gates of Time

 

Within the realm that contain the Gates of Time, the said asteroid that Sailor Celestial sealed Genesis Omega Dragon, Ultimaya Tzolkin, and Tzolkin’s ‘counterpart’, Phantasmal Lord Ultimitl Bishbaalkin, we find Sailor Celestial using her powers on the asteroid where it seems to ‘divide’ into five before vanishing completely with Sailor Pluto watching the whole thing.

 

Sailor Pluto says, “It is done, Celestial.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Good riddance.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “You did well in choosing a ‘void dimension’ and those extra seals on the asteroid were well thought out.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a smile, “Well, Naruto taught me sealing even though I don’t use chakra like him. He and his group figured out how to apply their shinobi sealing knowledge to my powers.”

 

Sailor Pluto asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Yeah, he was a real help.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “I see.”

 

Sailor Celestial tells Sailor Pluto, “Look, Naruto might be more like the ‘out of character’ versions that you see in our fanfictions and all…”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a plain tone, “I understand, Celestial. Personally, I feel the same. He isn’t what we would call ‘good’ or ‘bad’. He is more in the ‘grey’ area.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “Grey?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “There is a reason that ‘justice is blind’, Celestial. Life isn’t just ‘black and white’ as the saying goes. There is good and there is evil, however, putting them in ‘simplistic terminology’ is an injustice into itself.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “That’s quite…profound, Pluto.”

 

Sailor Pluto tells Sailor Celestial, with a smile, “I have been watching worlds for one thousand since the end of the Silver Millennium and so, it is obvious that I gain much knowledge, wisdom, and ‘insight’.”

 

Sailor Celestial tells Sailor Pluto, “You have a point, Pluto.” Sailor Celestial asks Sailor Pluto, “Pluto, I need to know, have…?”

 

Sailor Pluto responds, shaking her head, “I haven’t seen any signs of Yuuko…either version of them.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a plain tone, “I see.” Sailor Celestial notices Sailor Pluto looking intently at her and Sailor Celestial says, “While I regret what happened to her, I’m not going to let her rule my life, Pluto. She made her choice and I made mine. The only reason that I would find her is to make sure that she never does anything like this ever again. I won’t go to her level, but I will make sure that she doesn’t do anything like this ever again.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “You seem resolved, Celestial.”

 

Sailor Celestial nods her head and where she then asks, curiously, “All the victims of the Orichalcos?”

 

Sailor Pluto replies, “All those that have ‘physical forms’ of their own have awakened and after the Neo Paradius members heard about Yuuko’s defeat, it was easy to gain information about their bases.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Good. We should start ‘cleaning up’ right away.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “Indeed. They may be without someone like Yuuko or their previous leader that you defeated, but it is best that we ensure that no one else tries anything especially with Sailor Moon’s safety in mind.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Yeah. There is also the five remaining Millennium Items. From what you said, Atem took the Puzzle into the afterlife while destroy the Millennium Ring once and for all.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “Yes, but the other items are still very dangerous especially the Rod, Key, Necklace, and Eye.”

 

Sailor Celestial retorts, nodding her head in agreement, “No joke. Plus, there is that Quantum Cube and Kaiba used it to enter the afterlife to duel Atem.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, giving a nod of her head, “If it can do that, then it is possible that it could be used to cross dimension barriers.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, nervously, “Oh, boy.” Sailor Celestial says, “Anyway, I’m going to head back and take a rest.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a smile, “Good, my princess. You deserve it most of all.”

 

Sailor Celestial sighs and she retorts, “I don’t know about that, but I know that I can start enjoying ALO again after a while.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a warm smile, “That’s good to know. Have a good time.”

Sailor Celestial says, with a grin, “I will. Later.” Sailor Celestial then teleports away, and Sailor Pluto then goes over to the Gates of Time where she looks within the gates causing her to widely blush at what she sees causing us to see that she has a look of longing and desire in her eyes.

 

May 28, 2026, ALO, Ryne

 

Within the VRMMO world of ALO, we find ourselves within the former ‘capital’ of Alfheim, Ryne, we are heading into the ‘seedier’ portion of the city where we find ourselves within an inn that’s isn’t the cheapest, but it isn’t the most experience either. We come to the door of one room where if one had an Eavesdropping Skill, they could hear sounds of moaning and ‘excitement’.

 

Menma’s voice booms out, “How does…that feel…Leafa-chan…?!”

 

Lea fa’s voice shouts out, “Oh, Kami…it feels…it feels…so good…so good…!!” Soon after, Leafa’s squeals and moans of excitement and pleasure fill the room only unable to be heard due to the fact that sounds don’t leave the inn room that they are in as it is rule of the VR world of ALO.

 

(Much later)

 

Later on, in the streets of Ryne, we find Leafa and Menma together with the two of them locked in a tight embrace and their lips locked together in a passionate and loving kiss. When they break off, Leafa has a look of longing and love in her eyes.

 

Menma asks Leafa, “You enjoy yourself?”

 

Leafa responds, with a warm loving smile, “Do you really have to ask that?”

 

Menma giggles and he then says, with a warm smile, “Maybe.”

 

Leafa giggles and she tells Menma, “Baka.”

 

Menma tells Leafa, with a seductive loving tone, “Well, I’m your ‘silly baka’ now, Leafa-chan. I’m glad that you decided to join us.”

 

Leafa tells Menma, with a warm loving smile, “You did make a good argument.”

 

Menma responds, with a wide foxy grin, “What can I say Leafa-chan? The anime and manga were right about me being a ‘ladies’ man’ of sorts.”

 

Leafa says, with a giggle, “Hentai.”

 

Menma says, with a foxy grin, “I’m your hentai now, Leafa-chan.” Menma then starts passionately and loving kissing Leafa again and she can’t help to return the kiss with the same intensity and passion, not caring if anyone was watch, in which someone, using multiple skills to remain as hidden as possible, is doing. When we look at that location, we find that it is none other than Tomoe, Hotaru’s ALO avatar, watching the scene between Leafa and Menma, but she doesn’t notice that Menma glances in her direction.

 

May 28, 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Kirigaya residence

 

Within her room, we find one Suguha Kirigaya, lying down on her bed, wearing just a shirt and short, is removing her Amusphere and she has a major blush on her face.

 

Suguha says, lowly, “Menma…Naruto-kun…” We can see desire in Suguha’s eyes as she feels over herself and she gains a look of embarrassment as she leaps to her feet.

 

May 28, 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Unknown location

 

Within what looks like a luxurious bedroom with a MASSIVE bed, Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze is removing an Amusphere from his head and looking down to find himself surrounded by Sakura, Hinata, Haruka, Homura, Yomi, Hikage, and Suzume where we find all of them are covered up their necks in a blankets with seductive looks on the females’ faces.

 

Suzume asks Naruto, seductively, “How did it go, Naruto-kun?”

 

Naruto responds, with a sly smile, “Leafa-chan is a member of the harem.”

 

Hinata says, with a giggle, “I’m not surprised.”

 

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

 

Hikage says, with a warm smile, “She should be excited.”

 

Naruto says, “Anyway, we have a ‘meeting’ to get to.”

 

Haruka tells Naruto, with a seductive loving tone, “We have time, Naruto-kun. We can have some ‘private time’ to ourselves.” Naruto gives a foxy grin ear to ear as all of the females surrounding, with a loving and desired filled looks on their faces, surround him. Out of the room, behind the door, we then hear moans, groans, and other sounds of ‘excitement’ coming from inside of the room that Naruto and seven female ninjas are currently occupying.

 

May 28, 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Odaiba District

 

Inside of the Motomiya household, we find Davis, Kari, and their two Digimon partners within Davis’ room where they are looking at Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) Pendulum Monster card, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon (2500/2000) XYZ Monster card, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (2500/2000) Synchro Monster card, and Starve Venom Fusion Dragon (2800/2000) Fusion Monster card.

 

Kari asks Davis, “Are you sure that Suguha still has her cards?”

 

Davis says, “Yep. I also made sure that Moon girl didn’t have duplicates.”

 

Veemon asks, “How did you get those cards?”

 

Davis says, “That Zarc guy had his own versions since I took his Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon and defeated him with it. Maybe I gained these cards when I ‘absorbed’ his power…through I don’t remember doing that.”

 

Gatomon says, “That’s what worries me. You absorbed his powers and we can’t be sure that his powers are doing anything to you. You may be the Digidestined of Miracles and Life, but Life involves a lot of aspects of life including light AND darkness.”

 

Davis says, “Well, I feel just fine.” Kari then touches Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon Pendulum Monster card causing her to gasp as ‘images’ bombard her mind, including what looks like her looking like a dark pink version of Masane Amaha’s Witchblade form, and a dark pink ‘glow’ appears in her eyes causing her to stumble back in which Davis leaps towards her while putting her in his arms causing Davis to say, concerned, “Kari-chan!”

 

Gatomon says, worriedly, “Kari!”

 

Davis asks, concerned, “Are you okay?”

 

Kari responds, confused, “Um, yes. I’m okay, Dai-kun.”

 

Gatomon tells Kari, “Are you sure? The instant that you touched that card, you stumbled backwards.”

 

Kari says, with a nod, “Yes, I’m okay.” Gatomon isn’t sure, but she decides not to press the issue, however, she might have changed her mind if Gatomon looked closely at Davis and Kari, she would have noticed Davis’ eyes glowing lightly with a dark golden color with Kari’s eyes giving off a dark pink ‘hue’.

 

Unknown time, Zexal dimension, Heartland City

 

Within Heartland City, Kite is coming up to his father, Doctor Faker, and his younger, Hart, as Doctor Faker is looking at a force-field ‘bubble’ containing the container that has Over One-Hundred Numbers.

 

Doctor Faker tells Kite, “Very good, Kite. With this, the final legacy of Don Thousand will soon be sealed away.”

 

Kite says, with a nod, “Good. I’ve already returned the Numbers that I borrowed from Astral. He and Astral World are preparing the finishing touches.”

 

Doctor Faker says, nodding his head, “Excellent. I must say that their planning is most excellent, but then again, I shouldn’t be surprised.”

 

Hart tells Kite, “Great job, big brother.”

 

Kite says, with a rare smile, “Thanks.”

 

Doctor Faker says, “I have to say that your experience in the alternate dimension interests me greatly.” Doctor Faker brings up multiple holographic screens and Doctor Faker says, “Like in our timeline, Yusei Fudo of Team 5Ds finished the work on the Ener-D reactor that his father developed, but despite that, there were still fears about Synchro Summoning due to the revelations of ZONE which is why XYZ Summoning came into being. It doesn’t mean that Fusion and Synchro Summoning aren’t used today, they are just mixed in to bring balance. Heartland City was created because XYZ Summoning which is why that summoning method is dominate here. In the dimension that you chased Heartland, too, XYZ Summoning was created much earlier and an even more powerful summoning method was created.”

 

Kite tells Doctor Faker, “I’m not surprised that you would see the full extent of the power and potential of Pendulum Summoning, father.”

 

Doctor Faker says, with a nod and sly smile, “Indeed, Kite. Seeing them also developing Real Solid Vision as we have done, it shows that it is indeed the way of the future, but the ability to misuse it has also been evidence. There is much work to get done.” Doctor Faker says, excitedly, “I just can’t wait!”

 

Doctor Faker gives laugh of pure excitement and Hart whispers to Kite, “There he goes again.” Kite nods his head, crosses his arms, and just gives a rare smirk on his face to show that he agrees with his brother.

 

May 28, 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Dicey Café

 

Within Dicey Café, we find Kazuto, Asuna, Hiyori, Rika, Kotone, Shion, Ryoutarou, and Andrew are assembled together with Hiyori and Rika having Eye of Timaeus and Claw of Hermos Legendary Dragon spell card along with the Legend of Heart spell card.

 

Ryoutarou says, “Well, I’m glad that this insanity is over.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “No joke, Klein.”

 

Andrew asks, “Are you sure that girl is dead?”

 

Asuna says, shaking her head, “We can’t be absolutely certain, but no trace of her has been found.”

 

Kotone asks, curiously, “Then why do you still have those cards?”

 

Rika says, “That’s a good question, Kotone.”

 

Hiyori says, “We wish that we knew.”

 

Shion asks Rika, “You never got the chance to use your ‘big ace’?”

 

Rika says, with a sigh, “Yep. I hold one of the three Aesir monsters and they are equal to the Egyptian God Cards, but I never got a real chance to show Thor’s stuff.”

 

Andrew asks, “Speaking of which, you managed to gain all three Egyptian God Cards and all three Sacred Beasts?”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “It turns out that Yuuko had one more ace in the hole when we found Uria hidden in her deck, but she was either focused on Genesis Omega Dragon and Ultimaya Tzolkin or she never got a chance to use it.”

 

Ryoutarou says, amazed, “Man. That dragon sound pretty awesome.”

 

Asuna says, “Not as much as you think since someone like Suguha-chan is the only one that could contain it and Genesis Omega Dragon could alter, if not tear apart, reality as we know it. It is very dangerous.”

 

Andrew says, with a nod, “No joke from what you were saying. Well, she sealed it away for good.”

 

Kotone says, “I’m just glad that this is all over.”

Shion says, with a plain tone, “True, but we still need to make sure that there won’t be a third time. We need to make sure that what remains of Yuuko’s Neo Paradius is finished as well as take care of remaining UNI-SHOCKER bases that we haven’t got to yet.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Good idea.”

 

Asuna says, nodding her head in agreement, “Same here, Kirito-kun. I agree with you and Sinonon.”

 

Ryoutarou says, “Man! Hopefully, we can put this behind us!”

 

Kazuto says, with an intent look in his eyes, “I hope so.”

 

Rika asks Kazuto, “What’s up?”

 

Kazuto says, “Nothing.”

 

Asuna asks Kazuto, “It is what that Declan guy said wasn’t it?” Kazuto gives a look of surprise and Asuna tells Kazuto, with a grin, “I can pretty much guess what you are thinking.”

 

Kazuto asks, nervously, “I’m that obvious?”

 

Kotone says, “You mean that stuff about him from alternate universe and what he said about what his version of the Sailor Scouts learned? It seemed pretty weird to me.”

 

Kazuto says, “If you didn’t get what the implied meaning of his words, Kotone. It sounds like something ‘horrific’ happened to his version of Serena and Sugu and I don’t think he was lying.”

 

Shion says, with a nod, “From what I can read from him, he wasn’t. He wasn’t trying to hide his feelings and intentions at least from those that can tell. I’m sure that Amara and Raye would agree with me.”

 

Asuna asks, curiously, “So, he was warning us?”

 

Kazuto says, with a concerned nod of his head, “That the same ‘horrific fate’ that happened to his Serena, Sugu, or both could happen to them. His warning was focused on them because he mentioned by them and he mentioned that they are the hope of our world as well as mentioning that they were gone.”

 

Hiyori says, nervously, “That’s scary.”

 

Rika says, with a confident smile, “Come on, with those two, who or what can take them down? They’ve overcome tons of crap sent their way.”

 

Kazuto tells Rika, “True. Very true. But he had a point. Despite Sugu, due to her being the Soldier of Reality, having close to what could be called ‘divine power’ is only mortal…only human.”

 

Plenty of the others couldn’t help to agree with that and Rika says, with a smile and trying to change the subject, “Anyway, how is Keiko doing?”

 

Asuna says, “Very well. Thanks to help from the others, especially Raye, Keiko is mastering her new powers well.”

 

Shion asks Rika and Hiyori, “What about the two of you?”

 

Rika says, with a shrug, “Don’t feel any different.”

 

Hiyori says, “Ami and the others say that we are just fine and no negative effects.”

 

Rika asks, annoyed, “How come Keiko gets some awesome powers and Hiyori and I are still plain girls?”

 

Shion says, “Something tells me that may not be the case for long.”

 

Asuna asks Shion, curiously, “What makes you say that Sinonon?”

 

Shion responds, “Call it a feeling, Asuna.”

 

Kotone asks, curiously, “What kind of powers would Hiyori and Rika have?”

 

Rika says, with a wide grin, “I bet they are going to be awesome.”

 

Hiyori says, with a nervous smile, “I hope so, Rika.”

 

May 28, 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Hanzo Academy

 

Within Hanzo Academy, where we find ourselves within the group hot spring bath with all of the members of the ‘main team’ of Hanzo Academy, Asuka, Ikaruga, Katsuragi, Yagyu, and Hibari are there with their frames mainly covered by towels, but Naruto, his well-developed muscular frame covered only by a towel around his waist, is also there where he has Ikaruga in his arms while both of them are in the hot spring bath while the rest of the four young female shinobi are surrounded by Naruto clones where their lips are locked in passionate kisses along with the Naruto clones pleasure the young female shinobi.

 

The real Naruto and Ikaruga break off the kiss and Ikaruga, her face flush and look of ‘excitement’, says, breathing heavily, “N-Naruto…you shouldn’t…!!”

&n bsp;

Naruto asks Ikaruga, “Shouldn’t be what, Ikaruga-chan?”

 

Katsuragi breaks off the kiss with the clones and she says, with a grin, “Don’t bet on it, girlfriend. Most likely, Foxy-kun has already got seals that prevent Kiriya-sensei from even hearing what’s going on much less stumble in here!”

 

Asuka breaks off the kissing with the clones and she moans out, “No way!”

 

Naruto says, slyly, “You are talking to the most unpredictable ninja here, Asuka-chan.” Naruto and the clones then continue their actions with the five young female shinobi of Hanzo Academy where we leave the hot tube bathroom for the moment in which, due to the seals that Naruto put up, the sounds of moans and ‘other sounds’ of ‘excitement’ and pleasure don’t escape the room. When we return to the room, all five female shinobi have surrounded Naruto with Yagyu and Hibari locked in a three-way kiss with Naruto and all three of them are enjoying the kiss.

 

When they break off the kiss, Naruto asks Hibari, “Did you enjoy that Hibari-chan?”

 

Hibari says, with a nod, “Y-Yes! Yes, I did!” Hibari asks Yagyu, “What about you Yagyu-chan?”

 

Yagyu responds, with a wide blush, “Y-Yes, I did.”

 

Katsuragi hugs Naruto from behind, making sure to press her body to Naruto’s back, and she says, slyly, “Told you so! Once you get a ‘taste’ of Whiskers here, you, so, want more and he is irresistible to you!”

 

Ikaruga says, with a nod, “I must admit…I…I just want him right now.” Ikaruga then molds her body to Naruto’s right side with a looking of longing and ‘need’ in her eyes.

 

Naruto asks, “So, ready for our first date?”

 

Ikaruga, Asuka, Yagyu, and Hibari say in unison, “Yes!”

 

Katsuragi says, with a wide perverted grin, “You know it, Foxy-kun!” Naruto can’t help to give a wide foxy grin on his lips.

 

May 28, 2026, Unknown dimension/universe, Japan, Tokyo

 

With an alternate version of Tokyo, we find Declan talking with someone over a holographic screen.

 

The person on the holographic screen, obscured from view, says, in a male voice, “You didn’t get GOD?”

 

Declan responds, plainly, “No, but I have faith that it is very much secure.”

 

The male figure on the holographic screen responds, “I’m sure that she will be able to make sure of that.”

 

Declan says, “With assistance from their Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze teaching her sealing.”

 

The male figure responds, “Really? It seems like our timeline and this one isn’t too different after all.”

 

Declan says, “That’s not surprising since our two timelines have the same ‘roots’ after all. Two sides of the same ‘coin’.”

 

The male figure replies, “Indeed.” The male figure asks, “How are things here?”

 

Declan responds, plainly, “Japan and the world are recovering from Ragnarök, but they are still in a state of shock from Real Account as well.”

 

The male figure says, with a nod, “Ah, yes. It wasn’t only in Japan that people died.”

 

Declan says, “You have to remember that Real Account was a worldwide organization, not just Japanese organization through it was centered in Japan with the fact that Ragnarök’s rampage started across the ocean.”

 

The male figure says, plainly, “I heard that things have settled down.”

 

Declan says, “From the outside, yes. However, with the revelation that have been revealed with Ragnarok and Real Account, there is plenty ‘disturbances’ under the surface even with the return of our Sailor Celestial in which her return has been causing more ‘headaches’.”

 

The male figure says, “Well, she did something that only happens in fiction and religious texts.”

 

Declan says, with a nod, “True, which means that it shouldn’t be surprising that ‘eccentrics’ would feel that she is more than human. It gives her headaches to no ends, but the real problem is…”

 

The male figure says, finishing for Declan, “The revelation of Sailor Moon’s and Kayaba’s ‘connection’ becoming public knowledge.”

 

Declan says, with a nod, “Correct. Sailor Celestial and the others stopped one major revenge plot against Sailor Moon’s life, but it wasn’t easy, and it forced her mother and brother to ‘evaporate’.”

 

The male figure says, “Evaporate. Since our tradition of ‘suicide before defeat or dishonor’ has become unfavorable in our modern age, the only way to ‘save face’ is to ‘erase’ ourselves without suicide.”

Declan says, “Through in this case, Sailor Moon’s mother and brother had to ‘disappear’ for their own safety as well as Sailor Moon’s safety. Her father, who comes from a long samurai line, refuses to give in, but he supported this to give him as much ‘piece of mind’ as Sailor Moon. Plus, there have been a lot of multiple ‘minor revenge plots’ against Sailor Moon even now.”

 

The male figure asks, “So, even though it has been nearly a month since her ‘return to grace’, the balance hasn’t been restored?”

 

Declan says, with a nod, “I fear not. I fear the worst is yet to come.”

 

The male figure says, with a nod, “I see.” Declan gives an emotionless expression as silence comes between him and the figure.

 

May 28, 2026, Japan, Kyoto Prefecture

 

Within the Kyoto Prefecture, around the area that Aincrad was floating above, we look to see good sized chuckles of rubble that came from the castle all over the place and when we get close to one piece of rubble, it seems like we see movement from it.

 

May 28, 2026, Japan, Neo Domino City

 

Within Neo Domino City, the alternate version of Tea Gardner is looking at a porch within an apartment complex at Neo Domino City as the former Signers look at her.

 

Tea says, “It is lovely.”

 

Akiza says, with a smile, “Yes, it is.”

 

Luna asks Tea, “Are you going to be okay, Tea-san?”

 

Tea says, with a sigh, “Well, I thought that I knew who I was, but now, I know that I’m a clone…”

 

Crow says, “Based on what they said, technically, you aren’t a clone.”

 

Tea says, with a sigh, “Maybe, but I come from a timeline that no longer exists due to it begin a creation of that dragon.”

 

Jack says, “Not exactly. Based on what they told us, Genesis Omega Dragon didn’t just create the timeline that you came from out of thin air.”

 

Tea says, with a sigh, “But the point is…it isn’t there anymore. It doesn’t exist anymore.”

 

Luna says, weakly, “Tea-san…”

 

Yusei tells Tea, “They would want you to live on.”

 

Akiza says, with a nod, “Yusei is right. And Kari is right. You are still here, and you still have a dream. Live on for them.”

 

Tea doesn’t say a word for a few seconds and then says, with a warm smile, “Yeah, you’re right.” The former Signers smile back at Tea and she looks into the word causing her to think, “Yugi…My Yugi…Joey&h ellip;and the others wouldn’t want me to stay down for long. They would want me to live and follow my dream. I will everyone…for you.”

 

May 29, 2026, Japan, Tokyo

 

It is evening time in Tokyo as Yumi looks out towards a building as Naruto makes his appearance.

 

Yumi tells Naruto, “The others are keeping a close eye on MBI.”

 

Naruto asks, “Why hasn’t that bastard made his move yet?”

 

Yumi says, “That’s a good question.”

 

Naruto says, “Well, he won’t be so smug for much longer.”

 

Yumi asks, “Will she help?”

 

Naruto responds, with a smirk, “Her family has a thing about people ‘playing Kami’, you know that, Yumi-chan.”

 

Yumi says, with a smile, “Yes, I do.” Yumi then gives Naruto a kiss on his cheek while Naruto glances in a certain direction where Ryu Hayabusa of the Hayabusa clan and Hayate of the Mugen Tenshin clan, a good distance away from both Yumi and Naruto, are looking towards them.

 

May 29, 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Odaiba District

 

That same evening, we find Sailor Moon looking down at her district within Tokyo as Tuxedo Mask goes over to her.

 

Tuxedo Mask asks Sailor Moon, “Can’t sleep?”

 

Sailor Moon says, “I have a lot to think about.”

 

Tuxedo Mask wraps his arms around Sailor Moon, and he says, “Once this is over, he will just be a memory.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “That may be, but he is a memory that continues to haunt me and everyone around me.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Only if you let him. He is a memory that we cannot and will not forget, but it doesn’t mean that it is a memory that it has to rule you. A memory that cannot and will not be forgotten, but that will just be reminder for us and that’s all.”

 

Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “I hope so.”

 

Tuxedo Mask tells Sailor Moon, “It will be so. Let me help you, Meatball Head. Let us all help you.” Sailor Moon looks up, warmly, at Tuxedo Mask and the two of them share a passionate and loving kiss. Some distance away, Sailor Nebula is watching them with a warm smile on her face.

 

However, she then says, “You can come out now.” Out of the shadows, Nephrite, completely alive and well, walks out into the open.

 

Nephrite says, “Despite your innocent nature, you were always so preceptive, Molly.”

 

Sailor Nebula asks Nephrite, “Do we really have to do this?”

 

Nephrite responds, “You know the answer to that. There is no turning back for me.”

 

Sailor Nebula says, with a solemn tone, “I see.” Sailor Nebula then gets into a defensive stance while Nephrite does the same with both of them having a solemn look on their faces while unknown to them, another former Negaverse general is watching over the whole thing.

 

May 29, 2026, Japan, Tokyo

 

Elsewhere within Tokyo, we find ourselves within a darkened room where we see nothing, but a table and on that table, there is just a smart phone, a digital camera, and a lot…A LOT of photos, but what’s most disturbing are those photos are filled with pictures of Kazuto, Asuna, and Serena, alone, together, and/or with their friends/allies/loved ones. Also, in this room, there is a figure looking down at the photos.

 

Just then a sinister male voice, “It looks like it is up to me to finally bring them down.” Just then the male figure gives a sinister high and insane male laugh as he looks over the picture while he then looks at autoinjector syringe filled with some kind of fluid.

 

May 30, 2026, Rainbow Gardens

 

Within Rainbow Gardens, Leafa and Yugo are looking at each other.

 

Yugo tells Leafa, “Thank you for showing me around.”

Leafa says, with a smile, “It was no problem, Yugo.” Leafa tells Yugo, with a solemn tone, “I’m sorry…sorry that I couldn’t save your sister from herself.”

 

Yugo says, with a solemn nod, “You tired, Leafa. You truly did try.” Yugo says, with a solemn sigh, “I guess that I wasn’t the only one that died that day.”

 

Leafa says, “Yugo…”

 

Yugo says, with a warm smile, “Don’t worry yourself about it, Leafa. Everything will be okay.”

 

Leafa says, with a nod, “Yeah.”

 

Just then a familiar male voice calls out, “Sugu, ready to go?” Leafa and Yugo look towards the source of the voice to find Kirito, in his SAO avatar, walking over to them.

 

Leafa says, with a nod, “Yes, I am.”

 

Yugo tells Kirito, “Take care of yourselves, Kirito.”

 

Kirito says, with a smile, “You too, Yugo.” Kirito and Yugo shake their heads as he and Leafa prepare to leave.

 

May 30, 2026, Rath

 

Inside of Rath, we find Luke and his Digimon partner, Datamon, looking at multiple screens as they hear footsteps coming towards him causing them to look to see Seijirou Kikuoka coming towards them.

 

Seijirou asks, “How are they doing?”

 

Luke responds, “They are doing well.”

 

Datamon says, “Yes. In fact, they are responding better than the other subjects using this technology.”

 

Luke says, with a sigh, “I wish that you wouldn’t say it that way, Datamon.”

 

Seijirou says, with a smile, “I’m not surprised.”

 

Luke asks, curiously, “What are you thinking?”

 

Seijirou says, with a smile, “I’ve been very curious about Rainbow Gardens ever since we learned about it, but our people could never really adapt to it to get any good information.”

 

Luke says, “Probably because they aren’t used to ‘Digital Worlds’ like Digidestined and Tamers that have gone frequently into the Digital World and…” However, Luke becomes silent and Seijirou nods his head in understood, knowing why he stopped speaking.

 

May 30, 2026, Hebijo Academy

 

Within Hebijo Clandestine Girls’ Academy, Miyabi and Imu are looking at a figure in front of a desk.

 

The figure says, in a male voice, “You have done excellent work as always, Miyabi.”

 

Miyabi says, with a nod, “Thank you, father.”

 

Imu says, with a bow, “You honor us, sir.”

 

The figure then says, “It will take time to see if we can use this information to our advantage including reverse engineer what UNI-SHOCKER has made or stolen across the multiverse. Right now, there are a few important missions that we need to be consider.”

 

Miyabi asks, “Yes, father?”

 

The figure, Miyabi’s father and current head of the school, responds, “There is the ‘new faction’ belonging to a formerly fictional character in our world.”

 

Imu says, knowing who Miyabi’s father is talking about, “You mean Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze.”

 

Miyabi’s father responds, “Correct, Imu. He follows the philosophy that those of the ‘independent clans’, like the Mugen Tenshin and Hayabusa, follow, but unlike them, he intends to do something about it.”

 

Miyabi says, “Eliminate the ‘good and evil ninja factions’ and return them to the way of the Feudal Age.”

 

Miyabi’s father responds, “Not eliminate, my daughter. More like unite them until his ‘ninja way’. He believes that there is no good and evil in the shinobi way, of which he has a point, but he also believes that shinobi should be independent of both government and cooperation and working to follow their own ‘ninja way’ as we have done in the path. The ‘true shinobi’ are ‘represented’ by their freedom.”

 

Miyabi says, “However, it puts him into ‘conflict’ with both our side and ‘good ninja’.”

 

Miyabi’s father says, “In a way, yes. However, he also may have a point that current ‘status quo’ is flawed. I am not a fool, my daughter.”

 

Miyabi asks, “What should we do about him?”

 

Miyabi’s father responds, “Nothing for now. However, he is focusing his attention on MBI. I trust that you have gotten the information.”

 

Miyabi replies, with a nod, “Yes, father.”

 

Imu says, “It is no wonder why MBI has been so successful.”

 

Miyabi’s father says, “Indeed, Imu. However, there are plenty of those that believe that it is time for MBI to fall.”

 

Miyabi says, with a nod of understand, “I see.”

 

Miyabi’s father says, “There is also this.” Miyabi’s father throws his daughter one classic ninja scroll and she catches it in which when she opens it up causing Miyabi’s eyes along with Imu’s eyes when Imu sees what’s in the scroll.

 

Imu asks, shocked, “Sir, are you serious?”

 

Miyabi’s father responds, “Your shock is understandable, Imu, but it is true. We have already started working with them, but it is time that we move onto the next phase of this operation. You will meet with our contacts in the JSDF and NSA to contact their mole in Rath and begin the infiltration.”

 

Miyabi says, with a bow, “At once, father.”

 

Miyabi’s father then says, “Naruto-san may have a point with us, shinobi, my daughter. We need to ‘evolve’, and this may be the future of the shinobi way…or at least, our shinobi way.”

 

Miyabi says, with a nod of understand, “I understand, father.” Miyabi and Imu then ‘vanish’ in classic shinobi fashion to proceed with their orders from Miyabi’s father, the head of Hebijo school.

 

May 30, 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Roppongi

 

Within Roppongi, a district of Minato ward in Tokyo, Japan, we find ourselves within what looks a mixture of a command base with a luxurious hotel room with Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, and the former Crimson Squad assembled together.

 

Suzume says, “And that’s it.”

 

Sakura says, “I always thought that they were up to something.”

 

Haruka retorts, “Indeed, Sakura. Why would they need floating base just outside of the Izu Islands just to develop the next generation of Full-Dive machine?”

 

Hinata asks Naruto, “So, the Soul Translator is just a means to an end?”

 

Naruto says, with a nod, “That’s right, Hinata-chan. I think that Suguha-chan’s brother and plenty of the others suspect this as well. They know about Project Alicization, but they don’t know the full story of it.”

 

Sakura says, “They only know about the Soul Translator part of it and that’s all.”

 

Hinata asks Suzume, “And you think that your former school will going after it?”

 

Suzume says, with a nod, “Actually, Hinata, it is a given. I’ve still had a few ‘friends’ that I can confirm this information. In fact, we believe that they are working with a foreign power on this operation.”

 

Hikage asks, “Foreign power? Another government is interested in Rath and what they are doing?”

 

Suzume says, “A branch of this government, Hikage. It is the NSA.”

 

Homura asks, shocked, “Seriously, Suzume-sensei?”

 

Mirai says, stunned, “That’s some serious shit.”

 

Naruto says, with a whistle, “Wow. This must be really big stuff if they are involved and teaming up with ‘evil shinobi’ to do it.”

 

Haruka says, with a sly smile, “Yes, it seems so.”

 

Hinata asks Suzume, “Does the higher ups in the government know this?”

 

Suzume says, “We don’t have that information, Hinata. However, evidence shows that the Congress, the President, and Pentagon has absolutely NO knowledge of this operation. This is on the NSA alone.”

 

Hikage says, “From what we know, they wouldn’t approve of that.”

 

Sakura says, nodding her head, “No joke. From what we learned, the current administration is trying to fix the damage to their nation’s ‘image’ caused by previous administrations and the current President would be beyond pissed that one branch of the government is ‘attacking’ an ally nation.”

 

Mirai says, with a nod, “Scandal city.”

 

Naruto says, with a foxy grin, “Then that’s what we’re going to do.”

 

Everyone looks at Naruto and Haruka asks, with a sly smile, “You have got that look on you, Naruto-kun. You have a plan?”

 

Naruto says, “Oh, yes. But I think that we’re going to need a bit of help on that one.” Naruto then looks over his shoulder and he asks, “Do you think that you can help with that Trista-chan?” Everyone looks in the direction that Naruto is looking and Trista Maiou, Sailor Pluto’s ‘civilian form’ and dressed in her usual outfit, walks over.

 

Trista responds, with a smile, “I have a few ‘friends’ in the FBI, CIA, and NSA itself, Naruto. And plenty of them will be more than willing to help if I believe I know what you are planning.”

 

Naruto responds, with a wide foxy grin, “Thanks, Trista-chan, believe it.”

Homura says, with a wide grin, “This sounds like it is going to be fun.”

 

Naruto tells Suzume and Trista, “I also want to make ‘contacts’ where our information can get to the President of the United States directly.”

 

Suzume says, “I’m sure that we can do that, Naruto-kun.”

 

Naruto says, “Good, but we’re not going to be doing this to help Rath. Let’s just say that I’m with Suguha-chan’s brother on Kikuoka-san. He has been a great help to him, his family, and friends in their battles and then some, but something about him rubs me the wrong way. Oh, I doubt that he is even close…not even half of a Kayaba-teme or Sugou-teme. In fact, he doesn’t seem like to be a really ‘bad guy’, but in one aspect, he seems to want to use Full-Dive VR for his own purpose…and, in a way, ‘play Kami’ like those two did.”

 

Hikage asks Naruto, “So, we are infiltrating Rath?”

 

Naruto says, with a grin, “Believe it, Hikage-chan.”

 

Suzume says, “I’ll get to work immediately. I’ll contact our ‘friends’ in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communication especially the ‘VR Division’.”

 

Homura says, with a grin, “So, Asuka-chan and Hanzo are going to be on our side, huh? Nice!”

 

Naruto says, “Good. I intend to tell the truth along with Suguha-chan. We are shinobi and information are power for us, but there are no secrets in this ‘family’, believe it.” Everyone else nods their heads in agreement and Naruto tells Trista, “However, Trista-chan…”

 

Trista says, with a nod and bow, “I understand, Naruto.”

 

Sakura says, “It is best that they aren’t involved as much as possible. They’ve always been through crap and it is time for peace.”

 

Trista thinks in her mind, solemnly, “For as long it lasts, Sakura-san, for I fear ‘another storm’ is on the horizon…”

 

May 30, 2026, GGO

 

Within the post-apocalyptic virtual world of Gun Gale Online, GGO for short, Sinon, Dai, and Akari, looking as they do in their GGO avatars, are walking around.

 

Sinon says, “Thanks for helping me with this.”

 

Dai says, with a grin, “No problem.”

 

Akari says, “We’re glad to help, Sinon.”

 

Sinon asks, “Are you, two, taking part in this competition?”

 

Dai and Akari look at each other and Dai responds, “Nope.”

 

Akari says, “We don’t need to anymore.” Sinon gives a smile and nods her head in understanding.

 

Just then they hear a group of players talking with one of them saying, “Hey, have you heard? HE’S coming back!”

 

Another player says, “You mean HIM? The one that lost to our legendary ‘Bonnie and Clyde’ at the first GGO tournament? That’s incredible!”

 

Sinon, Dai, and Akari look at each other and the third player says, “Yeah, he nearly won it all with only a knife and handgun, but he then lost to the two of them.”

 

A fourth player says, “Yeah, BARELY!!! It was an incredible fight! He matched them move for move!”

 

Akari asks Dai, shocked, “Dai, do you think…?”

 

Dai says, with a nod, “Yep. It must be him.”

 

Sinon asks Dai and Akari, “You mean…?”

 

Dai says, “The guy that nearly beat us in the first Bullet of Bullets. The only reason that we won was due to our ‘condition’ at the time and he didn’t expect our Photon Swords.”

 

Akari says, “And he was brutally beat a lot of opponents with ONLY a knife and handgun. Like Dai said, we only beat him due to ‘factors’ that he didn’t know about, but it was still VERY CLOSE to our defeat.”

 

Dai says, “I guess that he joined Japanese ‘division’ of GGO now.”

 

Sinon thinks in her mind, “The one that nearly beat Dai and Akari in the first Bullet of Bullets…Subtilizer…” All three of them can’t help the chill that crawls in their spines as the three of them prepare to head off to train for the fourth Bullet of Bullets tournament that will be starting soon in GGO.

 

Final Chapter End

 

Arc III: Ninja Dragon Creed End

 

(Sword Art Online ending music ‘Startear’ starts)

 

With the music starting, we find Suguha Kirigaya walking down a road and as she is walking down the road, we see scenes of her visiting her brother, his body, with the NervGear strapped firmly to his head, in the hospital and crying her eyes.

 

The scene then changes to her being attacked by Vlad and her ‘turn to the dark side’ when she got corrupted by the Orichalcos as her ‘outfit’ during that time before being freed from the control of the Orichalcos and ‘allying’ with the Legendary Knights of Atlantis where she defeated the Neo Paradius organization of the time along with its leader. Suguha is then joined by her Digimon partners, Agumon (Suguha) and Lunamon, but she then looks ahead as Yuuko looms right in front of them.

 

The two of them stare right each other and Suguha takes a step back, but she then feels a hand on her back causing her to look as she finds Naruto, Kazuto, Serena, and the rest of our heroes and heroines behind her and all of them are warmly smiling at her. Suguha warmly smiles back and with a determined look on her face, Suguha then transforms into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and with her Real Solid Vision duel disk attached to her left wrist, she brings out Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000), Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (2500/2000), Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon (2500/2000), and Starve Venom Fusion Dragon (2800/2000) to face off against Yuuko and her Neo Paradius as well as her ‘allies’ with ‘others’ where the battle begins.

 

There is a massive clash of Duel Monsters, including the Legendary Dragons/Legendary Knights, Signer and Duel Dragons, Egyptian Gods, Sacred Beasts, and more, in which Sailor Celestial impales Vlad and he gives a look of pain and agony as he turns to dust while Sailor Celestial then faces her ‘dark self’, Dark Suguha, where Dark Suguha unleashes Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon against Sailor Celestial, but Sailor Celestial easily dodges where Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon glows with Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Dark Rebellion XYZ Dragon, and Starve Venom Fusion Dragon (2800/2000) in which Odd-Eyes Venom Dragon (3300/2500), Odd-Eyes Wing Dragon (3000/2500), and Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon (3000/2500) appear in which they combine powers to destroy Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon.

 

At Yuuko’s feet, Aincrad rises high into the sky with Heartland coming out behind her with the seven Over One-Hundred Numbers of Don Thousands, but with Kite’s help, Davis and Sailor Celestial defeat them in which Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial face off against Yuuko herself with Ultimaya Tzolkin and Genesis Omega Dragon. The ‘spirit’ of Yuuko’s brother, Yugo, appears and pleads with Yuuko, but she refuses to listen in which Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial grasp their hands in which they bring out God-Eyes Phantom Dragon (3000/2500) where it shines with a powerful rainbow light that vanquishes Ultimaya Tzolkin and Genesis Omega Dragon causing Yuuko to fall into a ‘black hole’ seemly never to be seen again while Aincrad vanishes into ‘nothingness’.

 

In the end, Suguha is looking towards the sky with her two Digimon partners and she then looks behind her with Naruto holding out his hand to Suguha where they head back to the others in which all of them walk off as pink flower petals fall down all around them, but what they don’t notice is that the end of Davis’ shadow turns into a dragon shape with sinister golden eyes.

 

(Sword Art Online ending music ‘Startear’ ends)

 

Post-Credit Scene:

 

May 28, 2026, Japan, Kyoto Prefecture

 

Returning to the remains of Aincrad around the area, a group of people in worker outfits are sneaking around the rubble and when we get a good look at their uniforms, we find the insignia of UNI-SHOCKER on their uniforms.

 

One of them says, “Be careful. Coming back to this world is a risk after all. We may have a field to protect us from this ‘prying eyes’ of this world’s Sailor Pluto and the technology of this world’s ‘heroes’ at their disposal, but it will only work for so long.”

 

Another said, “Yeah, no joke. We had to pull out so fast that we had to leave a lot behind and that allowed people like these nobodies to get their hands on our tech.”

 

The first one of the group of workers says, “Couldn’t be helped. After their victory over us, they were about to run rough shot over us, and we had to get out of there to make sure to get our most sensitive work and personal back to stronger bases.”

The second one then says, with a sneer, “No joke! Thanks to the Sailor Scouts of this world, Lunar and others like him united and managed to start a full-blown revolution on his world where he managed to put us in a stalemate. Even with his fucking sister and her ‘girl scouts’ as our ‘elite enforcers’ now, their Sailor Celestial is just as annoying as the two from this universe and the other one…in which she just a corpse when she became a major pain for us!”

 

The first one then says, plainly, “Well, she isn’t a corpse anymore, remember? She did a ‘Death and Return of Superman’ and like him, she is back better than ever. However, she doesn’t have time to deal with us. We didn’t have much forces in that timeline as we had in this one. And now, she has to deal with the fallout of her death and resurrection as well as the revelation of her ‘sister’ and her connection to their Kayaba getting found out.”

 

The second one says, with a nod, “No kidding. It is lucky that they don’t know about us and that’s why we can keep our ‘recon team’ in that timeline. It would be stupid to take her head on.”

 

The first one responds, nodding their head, “Yeah, but that Sailor Celestial’s resurrection has also given her a few ‘abilities’ that make her the most valuable to us.”

 

Just then a male voice shouts out, “Too bad that you peons won’t get your hands on her!” The group of UNI-SHOCKER works looks towards the source of the voice to see an adult version of Sammy Tsukino standing in front of them.

 

The first UNI-SHOCKER worker shouts out, “What the fuck?”

 

This adult version of Sammy says, with a sly smirk, “What do we have here? A group of UNI-SHOCKER punks thinking that they can just slink back into a world after they had their butts handed by them.” This version of Sammy takes out a pink device and attaches it to his belt in which he swipes a card where he shouts out, “Henshin!” This adult version of Sammy is surrounded by a ‘bright light’ that causes him to transform into an exact duplicate of Kamen Rider Decade.

 

The UNI-SHOCKER workers gasp in shock and the second one yells out, flabbergasted, “Impossible! There is only ONE Decade!”

 

The ‘transformed’ adult version of Sammy Tsukino, now looking like Kamen Rider Decade, responds, “Did you really think that Tsukasa Kadooya is the ONLY Decade in the multiverse? Well, you should THINK AGAIN!!!” ‘Decade’ leaps into action and there are loud sounds of a fight including moans, grunts, and groans of pain as well as the sounds of punches and kicks where those attacks are hitting flesh and bone. A short time later on, we find the UNI-SHOCKER workers lying on the ground, badly beaten and unconscious, where ‘Decade’ is standing over them.

 

Just then another male voice asks, “Enjoying yourself?” ‘Decade’ turns to see someone that looks like Raven, from the Star Wars universe, walking over to him.

 

‘Decade’ says, “I have this thing handled. The version of Meatball Head of this world and their group can handle the rest.”

 

‘Raven’ tells ‘Decade’, “You don’t seem too concerned for her.”

 

‘Decade’ responds, “You’re damn wrong that I’m not concerned for her. Personally, she is much on a tightrope as my Meatball Head.”

 

‘Raven’ says, with a nod, “Yes, you come from another timeline that has Sailor Moon being trapped in SAO and Kayaba being related…”

 

‘Decade’ says, with a dangerous plain tone, “That man isn’t related to us at all.”

 

‘Raven’ replies, plainly, “Understood. Do you have it?”

 

‘Decade’ retorts, “Yes, I do.” ‘Decade’ then takes out a computer tablet and throws it to ‘Raven’ where he looks at it in which what he sees on the tablet causes him to nod his head.

 

‘Raven’ says, “They roar out at him and yet, they try to play at being deities themselves.”

 

‘Decade’ asks, “Anyway, what should we do about those people that we got out there?” ‘Decade’ takes out a holographic device and it displays a holographic image of the human-sized tubes from the room in Aincrad where Kaiba dueled Leichter.

 

‘Raven’ says, “They were brought from the timelines ‘created’ by Genesis Omega Dragon and that means that they have no homes to go to. We’ll figure something out for them. Right now, my main focus is this.” ‘Raven’ looks down at the tablet and image of Serena/Sailor Moon and Kazuto with a female knight in golden and blue armor with long golden hair and blue eyes are glaring at a group of multiple enemies including Queen Beryl, PoH from Laughing Coffin, and surprising of all, two people that look like Davis and Kari, but Davis’ eyes has sinister golden and slit-like pupils while Kari’s eyes has dark pink pupils with Davis dressed in ‘dark knight’s armor’ while Kari is dressed something similar to ‘slave outfit’ that Princess Leia from Star Wars wore when ‘captured’ by Jabba the Hutt.

Preview for Arc IV, Worlds at War

 

Part 1: Alicization

 

(Start Scene)

 

At Yokohama Kōhoku General Hospital, Kazuto, Asuna, Kotone, Rika, and Keiko are talking with Doctor Kurahashi, head of long-term care at the hospital, along with Ami and Trista, as they are looking through a glass partition where they find Suguha Kirigaya ‘connected’ to a Medicuboid along with other IV and ‘sensors’.

 

Kazuto asks Doctor Kurahashi, with a very concerned voice, “How is she?”

 

Doctor Kurahashi says, with a sigh, “It was a close thing, but she will pull through.”

 

After Kazuto, Asuna, Kotone, Rika, and Keiko give a sigh of relief, Ami says, solemnly, “However, it will take time for the anti-toxin that was developed for the poison and the other medicines to do their job.”

 

Doctor Kurahashi says, “So, she will have to remain in the Medicuboid for quite some time since it cuts off her pain receptors.”

 

Suguha’s voice then booms out, “Not like the first time I’ve been trapped in a Medicuboid.”

 

Everyone looks towards Suguha and Kazuto asks, concerned, “Sugu, are you okay?”

 

Suguha, via the communication devices installed in the Medicuboid, responds, “Just fine, big brother. Just having a bit of ‘déjà vu’ here.”

 

Rika says, with a grin, “Not surprising, girlfriend.”

 

Doctor Kurahashi says, “Kirigaya-san, even after the anti-toxins and medicines do their work, you are going to need plenty of physical therapy for various reasons.” Doctor Kurahashi says, with a smile, “However, you will make a full recovery based on current data, but I would like to keep a close eye on you.”

 

Suguha responds, “Kurahashi-san, I’m not going anywhere, you know.”

 

Doctor Kurahashi says, with a giggle, “It seems like you haven’t lost your sense of humor, Kirigaya-san.”

Suguha says, “Anyway, it will give me more time for fun in ALO and exploring other VRMMOs.”

 

Keiko says, excitedly, “Yeah!”

 

Suguha then asks, “By the way, how is everyone else?” However, it immediately becomes silent and the others gain nervous look in which Suguha asks, nervously, “Um, guys, why have you gone to look like someone’s cat die? I don’t like that. What’s up?”

 

Asuna says, nervously, “Nearly everyone else is okay without any major injuries…”

 

Suguha asks, nervously, “NEARLY everyone else? That’s not good, Asuna. What happened?”

 

Kazuto says, nervously, “Sugu…”

 

Just then a familiar male voice says, “It’s Serena, Suguha-chan.” Everyone yelps and turns to the source of the voice they see Naruto and Hinata coming out of the shadows.

 

Rika asks, annoyed, “Do you have to do that?”

 

Naruto responds, “We’re ninja, Rika.”

 

Suguha asks, nervously, “What happened with Serena? Oh, Kami! Don’t tell me! Are you saying…?”

 

Hinata responds, with a solemn tone, “She’s alive, Suguha-chan. But…her heart stopped for several minutes before we managed to revive her.”

 

Suguha gasps in shock and horror and Suguha says, fearfully, “No…”

 

Kazuto says, solemnly, “It’s true, Suguha. She…has possibly brain damage and she is comatose. We…We don’t know if or when she will come out of it.”

 

Suguha asks, nervously, “But the Silver Crystal and Hotaru…?”

 

Ami tells Suguha, solemnly, “They are used for healing and purification, in the case of the Silver Crystal, but brain damage is different Suguha. Brain damage is mainly caused due to the death of brain cells and you can’t heal dead brain cells.”

 

Suguha asks, worriedly, “But what about that ‘pit’ like the one that revived my counterpart? We have one of our own, don’t we?”

 

Kazuto responds, “Remember, our fortress containing that ‘healing chamber’ was destroyed and ‘pit’ containing those ‘healing chemicals’ are buried with a lot of dangerous stuff in it as well. Plus, your counterpart was only saved by it because the chemicals mixed with your counterparts’ powers. We can’t be sure what effect it would have on Serena. We can’t that risk, but we can’t use it anyway.”

 

Suguha asks, worriedly, “Isn’t there something that we can do?”

 

Kazuto responds, “Not right now, Sugu. However, don’t worry, she has been through a lot. She’s strong. We’ll find a way to save her, Sugu. That I can promise you.”

 

Suguha says, solemnly and worriedly, “R-Right, big brother.”

 

Kazuto says, “You get on healing. I’ll see you in ALO soon.”

 

Suguha says, solemnly, “Okay.”

 

Kazuto then walks out of the room with Asuna following and when they are out of the room, Asuna asks, “Kirito-kun, where are you going?”

 

Kazuto responds, “To see someone about a job offer.”

 

Asuna asks, surprised, “A job offer?”

 

Kazuto tells Asuna, with a smile, “One that could help Serena, Asuna.” Kazuto then goes over, kisses Asuna on the lips, causing her to flush in surprise, and he says, with a warm smile, “Trust me, it will be okay. Later.” Kazuto then walks off and Asuna can’t help to give a worried expression on her face at what Kazuto is thinking and planning.

  ;

In the city of Ryne, Menma is waiting around as Leafa flies down in front of him.

 

Leafa tells Menma, “I got your message, Menma-kun. What’s up?”

 

Menma says, pointing to an alleyway, “Over here, Leafa-chan.” Leafa blushes as she thought of ‘certain ideas’, but seeing the look on Menma’s face, one that’s VERY serious, she writes off that thought very quickly.

 

When they are alone in that alleyway, Leafa asks Menma, concerned, “Is something wrong?”

 

Menma sighs and he says, “I’ll get to the point, Leafa-chan. Your brother was attacked.”

 

Leafa asks, shocked, “What?!”

 

Menma says, “It was one of his old enemies from SAO. A member of that group of murderers that they called a ‘red guild’: Laughing Coffin. In fact, he was guy that worked with that XaXa guy and his brother with that ‘Death Gun’ mess and helped kill two people during that Bullet of Bullets tournament. You should remember that.”

 

Leafa says, worriedly, “Oh, Kami. Yes, I remember. Big brother said that his name in SAO was Johnny Black and he was a dagger user that used paralyzing potions on his victims.”

 

Menma says, with a nod, “Bingo. He attacked your brother and Asuna when they were having a meeting with Shion-san.”

 

Leafa asks, worriedly, “Are they all right?”

 

Menma says, “Asuna is just fine. But…” Leafa then gets really worried and Menma says, “Your brother isn’t, Leafa-chan. That murderous maniac injected him with the same stuff that they used on their victims of that ‘Death Gun mess’.” Leafa gasps out in pure horror and Menma says, solemnly, “It’s bad…really bad. That’s being nice, Leafa-chan. His heart stopped for several minutes. He is in the same state as Serena. I’m sorry, believe it.”

 

Leafa shakes her head in disbelief and she says, fearfully, “No…Not again…Please Kami…not again…!!” Leafa then starts to cry on Menma’s chest and he gently hugs her as she cries on him.

 

(End Scene)

 

(Start Scene)

 

Deep within a forest, we find Kazuto lying down on the ground dressed in an unusual outfit.

 

Kazuto is in a hand-sewn pale blue short-sleeved shirt with a V-shaped cut on the chest which was tied with a light brown cord along with trousers and hand-sewn leather shoes.

 

Kazuto stirs as he wakes up and he looks around causing him to ask, “Where am I?” He gets to his feet and he looks around to figure out what’s going on. He goes through his memories, remembering his meeting with Shion and Asuna, and walking Asuna home, but when he gets to the memory of Miyasaka of Setagaya Ward, he is drawing a blank and becomes confused in which he feels himself over in which he notices his current attire. Kazuto says, nervously, “Oh, okay.” He couldn’t help to wonder if he had fallen asleep in a Full-Dive and he tries to bring out a ‘player window’ to log out, but nothing happened. Kazuto then says, “Command. Log out.” However, nothing happens, but he then hears a familiar female moan causing her to turn around and he gasps as who he sees there. Getting to her feet is none other than our Moon Princess and Soldier of the Moon, in her ‘civilian form’ of Serena Tsukino, but she is dressed differently than before.

 

Serena’s hair and hairstyle remain the same, her lips seem to have a good pink hue, like she has on lipstick, and she has a plain sleeveless white shirt, a blue knee-length skirt, white stockings that cover up to half-way to her thighs, and plain brown flat shoes.

 

Serena, showing that she has just woke up, asks, groggily, “Where…?”

 

Kazuto asks, shocked, “Serena?”

 

Serena looks towards Kazuto and she asks, surprised, “Kazuto?”

 

Kazuto responds, “Yeah, it’s me. Serena, what are you doing here?”

 

Serena replies, “I should be asking that question!” Serena then looks around and she asks, nervously, “And I should ask: Where is ‘here’ anyway?”

 

Kazuto says, “That’s what I’m trying to figure out…” Just then Kazuto’s thoughts focus on his meeting with Asuna and Shion and what they were discussing causing him to think, “Could this be…? It has to be, but if it is, why am I here with Serena? Is it to observe her or something? I have got a bad feeling about this.”

 

Serena goes over to Kazuto and she asks, “Kazuto, what’s going on here? Where in the world is this place? Why are we in these clothes?”

 

Kazuto tells Serena, “Whoa! Whoa! Easy, Serena! I have an idea on where we could be, but I don’t fully understand it myself. However, I’m going to need to remain calm, okay?” Serena nods her head and Kazuto asks Serena, “First off, what is the last thing that you remember?”

 

Serena says, “It…It is…was…” Serena gasps as horrific memories come to her mind causing her to stumble back as she was going to fall, but Kazuto grabs one of her arms to make sure that doesn’t happen.

 

Kazuto says, worriedly, “Serena!”

 

Serena says, fearfully, “I remember…the battle…that creature that was sent against us…” Serena asks, worriedly, “Oh, Kami! Kazuto, the others! Are they…?”

 

Kazuto says, nervously, “Whoa, easy there! Everyone is alive, Serena!” Kazuto says, with a sigh, “However, Sugu got infected with a nasty poison that does exactly like what Embryo did to you and Ange when he overloaded your pain receptors as well as damage her body.” Serena gasps in shock and horror and Kazuto says, “But Ami and the others managed to develop an anti-toxin, however, Sugu had to be put in a Medicuboid since it dulls her pain receptors completely, so, she doesn’t overstress her body and suffer a heart attack or something like that. It is going to take a while, yet, and she has been in there for weeks.”

 

Serena asks, confused, “Wait! Weeks? Kazuto, I don’t understand, how can it be weeks…?”

 

Kazuto tells Serena, looking Serena in the eye, “Serena, I need for you to remain calm, but it has some weeks since that battle. You were severally injured in that fight, Serena. In fact, your heart stopped for several minutes before we could revive you. Last time I saw you, you were in a hospital in a coma.”

 

Serena gains a look of pure disbelief and Serena asks, shaking her head, “No? This can’t be. I’m in a coma? It can’t be! I’m right here! Kazuto, I’m right here! How can…?”

 

Kazuto gently forces Serena to look at him and he says, “Look at me, Serena!” When Serena looks at Kazuto, he says, “You are here because I believe that this is a virtual world…a very special virtual world. The virtual world created by Rath with their Soul Translator.”

 

Serena says, calming down for the moment, “Soul Translator? That’s their fourth generation Full-Dive VR device used by Seijirou for his ‘Projection Alicization’.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “That’s right, Serena. After you were put in the hospital, he came to me and he told me that the Soul Translator could be used to treat you and help you recover, but they needed some data. I took the part-time job with Rath to get you that help. I think that’s what this is. We’re inside of the special world created for the Soul Translator.”

 

Serena responds, amazed, “So, this is a virtual world? But it seems so…”

 

Kazuto says, “So ‘real’, right? This is the artificial dream being sent into our fluctlight.”

 

Serena asks, curiously, “Fluctlight?”

 

Kazuto says, nervously, “It is a long and complex story. I had told Asuna and Shion about this earlier…as far as I can remember. Basically, your fluctlight is…your soul.”

 

Serena asks, her eyes widen, “My soul?”

 

Kazuto says, “Yeah, based on what Rath and their personal said. It is a long and complex story and I know that I will lose you, but I need for you to pay attention to what I am saying because it will explain why you are here.” Serena nods her head and Kazuto thinks in his mind, “Through it doesn’t explain why I’m here too. If this is Serena’s ‘special therapy’ to bring her out of her coma, why am I dived in with her? Do they need me to observe her? Keep her safe in this world? I can’t get this feeling of dread, but I know one thing, we need to stick together if we are going to figure all this out.” Soon after, Kazuto starts to explain to Serena about what he learned about the Soul Translation, Fluctlights, and his experience working for Rath to Serena in order for her to get an idea about where this place could be and what could possibly be going on.

(Start Scene)

 

Alice asks Kirito, “Is that really your friend, Eugeo?”

 

Usagi responds, “That’s Eugeo. I would know that face anywhere.” Usagi says, solemnly, “But he isn’t the same Eugeo that we know. He never had that cold and emotionless look in his eyes.”

 

Kirito says, solemnly, “Yeah.” Kirito asks, curiously, “Why did you ask that? You were the one that said that he was synthesized right?”

 

Alice responds, “Yes, I did. But I’m not sure how to say this…” Alice says, “For being freshly synthesized, he is far too skilled in our ways of combat. Between the Incarnate Arms he used before this fight and this wind-element technique, nothing about him seems new and inexperienced.”

 

Kirito asks, “So, you don’t just automatically know these things when you get turned into an Integrity Knight?”

 

Alice replies, annoyed, “The knighthood’s tools do not simply appear out of thin air! It takes long periods of training with weapon techniques and sacred arts to be able to use them to say nothing of Incarnate abilities and Perfect Weapon Control!”

 

Kirito flinches and Usagi then asks, “Could it be possible that Administrator created a new Piety Module? One that she ‘infused’ the experiences of the other knights into new Integrity Knights?” Kirito and Alice look at Usagi in surprise and she responds, a bit nervously, “Kirito, we were told about the Piety Modules and how Administrator manipulates memories, right? That she even copied her own memory, right? What if she did the same with the other knights? What if she is trying to mass produce powerful knights by copying the experiences of the more experienced veteran knights and putting them in new knights? I mean, these freaky things are put in where she took the knights’ most precious memories and it is blocking others, but there isn’t any problem adding in new memories, right?”

 

Kirito then thinks about what Usagi asked for a moment and he says, “Yeah, you have a point, Usagi. Based on what we know, it is possible.”

 

Alice says, in disbelief, “It can’t be…!!”

 

Kirito tells Alice, “Unfortunately, it is possible, Alice. She has been doing it for several hundred years after all.” Kirito says, looking at Eugeo, “And that means…”

 

Kirito’s hand tightens on his sword and Alice asks, “Shall I take him?”

 

Kirito was about to responds when Usagi says, “No, I will.”

 

Usagi steps forward and Kirito says, “Usagi…”

 

Usagi says, “Kirito, you shouldn’t be forced to fight your best friend like this. Eugeo is your first best friend…like a brother to you, isn’t he? This isn’t right.”

 

Kirito says, protesting, “He is your friend too.”

 

Usagi says, with a nod, “Yes. And I really don’t want to fight a friend, but we already learned from our other friends that we are going to need to fight our friends if we want to save them from situations like this. And Eugeo is strong. Really strong. Whatever that witch did to him, you can’t fight him equally even though I know that you won’t hold back.”

 

Kirito says, surprised, “Usagi…”

 

Usagi tells Kirito, with a warm smile, “Don’t worry, Kirito. I’ll save him. Believe in me.” Usagi then puts her sword back into its sheath and closes her eyes.

 

Alice asks, surprised, “What are you doing sheathing your sword? In his current state, Eugeo won’t hesitate to strike you down! What’s…?” However, before Alice could finish her ‘protest’, a powerful wind comes from Usagi’s form that surrounds the room surprising both Eugeo and Alice as Usagi starts to glow as her clothing changes exactly to what she wore at the end of SAO in which Elucidator and Lunar Excelsior in their sheaths appear attached to her waist. Eugeo and Alice look at Usagi, flabbergasted, as her hood, as if pushed by some unknown wind, lowers down to reveal her face, her eyes still closed, but her eyes then shoot open to reveal her blue eyes, however, they are showing the strength and determination that she showed in SAO.

 

(Sword Art Online: Alicization music ‘Sacred Swords’ starts)

 

In a burst of speed, Usagi zips over to Eugeo, drawing her swords in quick session, and Eugeo barely blocks Usagi’s first strike with Lunar Excelsior causing him to stumble backwards several steps. Usagi doesn’t give him time to recover as she launches a barrage of sword strikes with both of her swords in which Eugeo manages to block them while remaining where he is, but Eugeo is completely on the defensive as Usagi leaves no openings for a counterattack as Eugeo’s Blue Rose Sword clashes with both Usagi’s Elucidator and Lunar Excelsior.

 

Kirito thinks in his mind, concerned, “Eugeo…Usagi…” Alice can’t help herself to watch in silence and wonder as ‘former’ White Valkyrie of SAO and the newly ‘synthesized’ Eugeo continue their intense fight. Eugeo then manages to leap away from Usagi and unleashes a powerful Slant while Usagi counters in kind with using the same skill with Lunar Excelsior. The two swords, glowing a bright blue, clash and create a strong enough shockwave to crack the floor around them, but as the two swords clash, Usagi struggles against Eugeo as his skill has more power than hers, however, Usagi leaps high into the air causing Eugeo to stumble forward while Usagi forward flips over and behind Eugeo. Eugeo recovers and turns around only to get in the left side of his head by Usagi’s foot causing him to stumble backwards.

 

Usagi thinks in her mind, “Sorry, Eugeo. I really…REALLY don’t want to hurt you, but something tells me that I really need to knock some sense into you. I really hope you and Kirito forgive me for this.” Eugeo roars out as he counterattacks against Usagi, but while Eugeo has superior power over Usagi, her agility, dexterity, and experience of ‘all sorts’ keeps her one step ahead of Eugeo. However, at one point, Usagi manages to get into a position where Eugeo’s right rear side is exposed, but Eugeo then spun counterclockwise at incredible speed with his sword glowing a blazing bright red in a slash attack.

 

Usagi and Kirito think in unison, shocked, “Backlash?!” Quickly, Usagi uses Cross Block, the Dual Blades Defensive Skill, to block, but the impact causing Usagi to grunt as she is sent skidding backwards.

 

Kirito thinks in his mind, shocked, “How does Eugeo know Backlash? I never taught him…!!” Just then an idea comes to his mind, however, it doesn’t help Usagi as she defends against Eugeo’s next fierce assault where he uses fire and wind Sacred Arts in combination with Sword Skills where Usagi barely manages to avoid these assaults.

 

Usagi thinks in his mind, “He…He’s incredible! Only Kirito at his prime in SAO could be a match for him! That means that I can’t hold back! If I want to save Eugeo, for all of our sakes, I’ve got to give it all I’ve got!” Usagi says, strongly, “Okay, try this then!” Usagi then uses Double Circular, Dual Blades two-hit combo, and Eugeo, not expecting this kind of attack, manages to block it, however, he yelps as he is sent stumbling backwards causing Usagi to charge at Eugeo. However, Eugeo recovers and attacks with Sonic Leap, but Usagi throws her swords into the air and doing a forward split, she ducks down under Eugeo’s attack and her right fist glows red. She then uses Flashblow and her glowing right fist slams into Eugeo’s armored waist causing him to gasp in shock as he is sent skidding backwards nearly into the wall where Usagi leaps back to her feet and catches her two swords with ease before they hit the ground.

 

Kirito looks at the battle, awe-struck yet also conflicted for obvious reasons, but then Alice asks, “Who are you?” Kirito looks at Alice in which she looks at Kirito with a determined look and she asks, sternly, “Who are you and Usagi truly? Do not try to avoid the question! You aren’t of the Dark Territory, but you aren’t of the Human Realm as well! None of this realm, other than we, Integrity Knights, could hope to rival such power that I witness before me! What I see isn’t just Incarnation, but what Usagi has done seems to be similar to Perfect Weapon Control! She has unlocked a power within herself…a power that no ordinary citizen of this realm could have! There is also that sword style! I had mentioned before that nobles using two swords to show off, but this isn’t anything like that! That’s a practical sword style! Every moment…every strike…it is the form of a true swordsmanship style! A swordsmanship form for combat! No sword style should exist in this world like such! Who are you?! What are you? Answer me, Kirito!” Kirito gets really nervous, but Alice and Kirito then refocus on the fight where Usagi and Eugeo clash again in which, despite her advantages over Eugeo, Eugeo is matching Usagi very well with Eugeo glaring down at Usagi with his icy glare while Usagi glares back with her determined glare, preparing to give it her all to save a precious friend from the evil mind-control/brainwashing put on Eugeo.

 

(End Scene)

 

Whew! We are finally done! That’s the end of this arc! Naruto has finally made his ‘grand appearance’ into the storyline. Yes, I know that plenty of you might be disappointed since there was more dueling than anything else, but then again, this arc tended to focus A LOT on the Yu-Gi-Oh crossover aspect of this story series with the others making ‘cameos’ of sorts. However, hopefully, this arc will prove fun and exciting for you to read as enjoyable as it was for me to make. Now, in the next arc, we are going back to mainly SAO style storytelling. This arc was the biggest arc of this story, yet, but the plans for this arc are so big that I have to divide them into two parts! The first part is based on the Alicization arc and, spoiler alert, like with much of the Alicization arc that happens before ‘War of the Underworld’, much of this first part will be focusing only on Usagi, Kirito, and their ‘friends’ in the Underworld. The second half will be more like the preview of fourth arc of this story that you saw at the end of Shadow of Aincrad. Trust me, this final arc is going to be huge! However, I can’t start the first part of the fourth arc until I get the first arc of my SAO Beyond story out! Why? Well, you are going to have to wait and see, folks! Please read and review, but no flames! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
