Sailor Moon Online: SAO Beyond

(Sword Art Online opening music ‘Innocence’ starting)

As a group of rainbow colored birds fly through the air, witnessed by Naruto, Davis, and Asuna, the scene switches to Suguha, Serena, and Kazuto walking down the street, they turn around when they ‘sense’ something and the world around them shatters like a mirror revealing multiple alternate versions of them and the worlds of SAO, ALO, and beyond.

The next scene shows our heroes and heroines looking at the prone form of Suguha, dressed in ‘royal gown/dress’ as Princess Selene, lying in her see-through coffin with tears in the eyes of Kazuto, Naruto, and Serena in which the scene switches Naruto, dressed in his classic attire, but with white cloak similar to his dad’s cloak as Hokage while looking into the wind.

The next scene has Serena looking at her broach and then walking through the hallways of the Moon Kingdom dressed as Princess Serenity and as she looks into the air, her shadow splits into two shadows with one of them looking like her as Valkyrie Sailor Moon and the other looks like Heathcliff.

The following scene has Darien looking at a rose while his ‘alternate forms’ of Tuxedo Mask and Prince Endymon are behind him and then we see Davis looking at two tags that contain the Crest of Miracles and Life when he feels a hand on shoulder in which he looks to see Kari, Veemon, Gatomon, and the rest of the Digidestined and their Digimon looking at him.

The next scene has Leafa stand in the middle a very swallow pond surround by the images of her four ‘doppelgangers’ as Sailor Celestial reflected in the water of the pond as a rainbow light comes from the sky in which when she looks up towards it, she then sees the rest of her friends in their ALO avatars and Leafa smiles as she approaches them transforming into Ark Valkyrie Sailor Celestial in the process.

Then we find our heroes and heroines battling through legions of robots, monsters, and fighting even multiple version of Heathcliff before out of some kind of vortex, Ragnarok appears before all of them with a roar of power and hatred. Various warriors, heroes, and ‘other people’ from the multiverse ranging from Sonic the Hedgehog, Shiroe of Log Horizon, Kite from Dot-hack series, Neptune, Nepgear, and their fellow CPUs/CPU Candidates from Neptunia series, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and others from the Marvel universe, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and so many others from the DC Universe, and so many more before it focuses on Doctor Ivo ‘Eggman’ Robotnik surrounded by the seven Chaos Emeralds and a mysterious and powerful crystal which reality items seem to shatter like a mirror.

Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Kazuto, and the others extend their hands to Sailor Celestial and she takes them as they look at what looks like a giant book in which in the pages, there are pictures of various different versions of all of them and Leafa is holding a smaller version of that same book and reading it to Rain, Seven, Yuuki, Strea, and Yuuki.

Finally, we return to see Suguha, Serena, and Kazuto at that same street in which Suguha closes that same book and turn to see all of their friends/family/loved ones waving towards them causing the three of them to run over towards them as the rainbow-colored birds create a rainbow in the sky.

Act 1: Sword Art Realities

Chapter 1: Remembrance Back to a Nightmare

Early June 2026, Tokyo, Shibuya Ward

Today, it looks like your typical morning within the Shibuya Ward where we find your typical crowds of people at the famous ‘Shibuya Scramble’ crossing where we find a news crew along with a large crowd looking at a pair of statues with one of them being a familiar Japanese Akita dog in a sitting position as if waiting for someone while the other statue is Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and Valkyrie Sailor Moon, with their helmets gone and their armored damaged, fighting against a creature that looks similar to New 52 version of Doomsday, the infamous DC ‘villain’ that killed none other than Superman, with various fallen ‘heroes and warriors’ besides them with innocent people behind the two Valkyrie Sailor Scouts in which they are the only defense against that ‘monster’.

The reporter of the news crew, a young woman, says, speaking into a microphone, “Hello, everyone! This is Ando, Yaeko. We are here in Shibuya for the rededication of the famous statue of Hachiko, the Akita dog, who still came to this area to greet his master, Professor Hidesaburô Ueno,even after he had died and has become a national symbol for loyalty and dedication. It was badly damaged a few months ago during a day that the world remembers. A day that we know simply as Ragnarok. Ragnarok. In the European Norse mythology, Ragnarok is basically the Norse ‘Doomsday’. The end of the world where the ancient Norse deities die as their worlds comes to an end. And that horrible day back in April of this year seemed much so. It is the reason behind the second statue that stands with Hachiko.” The reporter points to the statue with Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial and she says, “Like in the famous American manga story, ‘The Death of Superman’, this creature appeared seemly appeared out of nowhere and started wreaking havoc, death, and destruction. The heroes of Tokyo, the Sailor Scouts, who have increased in number and strength with their newest ‘Valkyrie Sailor Scout forms’ came out to face this monster, but to the horror of many, not even they could stop the creature. The creature ruthlessly smashed through them and ruthlessly injured most of the Sailor Scouts leaving a lot of them seriously injured. Only two heroines, Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial, remained to battle the creature with the flamboyant ally, Tuxedo Mask, only able to assist them by saving civilians throughout the nightmarish day. Through others came to their aid, Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial fought alone against this titanic force, but they were hard-pressed. Early on, their weapons proved worthless and their special attacks only seem to give the titanic monster even greater power. Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial were forced into hand-to-hand combat with the creature, who would be called Ragnarok. During the horrible battle that lasted throughout that day in April of this year, around three hundred people died from Ragnarok’s rampage and around three to six thousand were injured with injuries varying due to the fact that Ragnarok gave off some kind of ‘field’ that made ‘normal people’ unable to approach him. Only Sailor Moon’s and Sailor Celestial’s special powers and armor protected them from the creature’s ‘death field’, as it is called. In the end, Ragnarok was about to unleash an attack that could have completely destroyed all of Tokyo and covered the world in a dust cloud that could have caused the death of all life on the planet, bringing true ‘doomsday’ to us all, but Sailor Celestial launched all-out final assault against Ragnarok in a desperate final attempt to kill the creature. She succeeded, but she suffered catastrophic fatal wounds in the process.” After several moments of silence, the reporter says, “Sailor Celestial was declared dead on scene in the aftermath. It was revealed that Sailor Celestial was a young lady known as Suguha Kirigaya, who was supposed to celebrate her seventeenth birthday that month and a residence of Kawagoe, Saitama. The world joined her family in mourning as the Kirigaya family mourned the loss of a family member while the world lost a great heroine who saved the world with her supreme sacrifice. However, it wasn’t the end of Sailor Celestial. About half-a-month later, in a twist similar to the famous Superman story, four people declaring that they were the recently killed Sailor Celestial revived from the dead appeared. There was the armored one known as the Celestial Soldier and it was quickly obvious that she wasn’t the true Sailor Celestial. Just a young woman wearing an armor designed like the martyred heroine and the Celestial Soldier, also known as the ‘Iron Sailor Celestial’, admitted that she wasn’t Sailor Celestial revived from the dead, but someone trying to carry on her good name as a hero. There is the mysterious Sailor C, a thrilling and attention seeking version of Sailor Celestial with a different ‘costume’, who said that she was a clone of the original Sailor Celestial, and the Sailor Scouts themselves verified this statement. Then there was the ‘Soldier of Reality’, a mask wearing version of Sailor Celestial, who was extreme brutal in her action and didn’t have any restraint in her actions against her opponents which resulted in much collateral damage. Finally, there was the ‘Cyborg Sailor Celestial’, a cyborg version of that had around half of her body especially her face fused with cybernetics. For around half-a-month more, the world wondered who was the real one and if this was like the story of Superman in his manga when he ‘died’ which proved to be prophetic where it was revealed that the cyborg doppelganger of Sailor Celestial was revealed to be an enemy for the true Sailor Celestial ‘reborn’ in a clone body of the heroine who planned to sully the heroines’ name by pretending to her while aiding in committing an evil deed that has been called ‘the second Sword Art Online’. However, she was defeated by the TRUE Sailor Celestial when it has been revealed that she has been revived from the dead through still unknown means and joined with family and friends to defeat her cyborg doppelganger to put an end to the horrible tragedy known as the ‘Real Account Incident’. It has been around one month since the day of Sailor Celestial’s return…”

But then someone yells out, “Look out!” Everyone then looks to see a figure crashing down from the sky in which they hit the ground with a massive ‘ka-pow’ and ‘boom’, creating a small crater in the process, and the figure that emerges from the crater is none other than Valkyrie Sailor Moon, who emerges from the crater, and she looks as someone that looks a lot like Masane Amaha in her Witchblade form expect that her ‘armor’ is dark silver, her hair is ghostly white, and her eyes are a sinister jade green, approaching her in which she is flanked by two Digimon: Kuzuhamon, a black and dark violet version of Sakuyamon, and TigerVespamon, a golden and black armored humanoid cyborg bee Digimon.

Sailor Moon says, annoyed, “You can’t do this! This isn’t what your brother would want!”

The Masane Amaha ‘doppelganger’ shouts out, angrily, “Shut up, Tsukino! Don’t you dare speak of my brother! You have no right after what your family has done to mine!”

Sailor Moon says, “Our family never knew a gosh darn thing about what he was going to do! And I worked my hardest to save everyone in that nightmare!”

The Masane Amaha ‘duplicate’ shouts out, “Enough of your lies! I won’t listen to them anymore, you witch!”

Just then a familiar female voice shouts out, “Then maybe you will listen to this baka!” The Masane Amaha ‘doppelganger’ turns to the source of the voice only to have the armored boots of Ark Valkyrie Sailor Celestial slam right into her face causing her to crash into the street with a loud ‘boom’.

Kuzuhamon says, shocked, “No!”

TigerVespamon yells out, “Rie!”

Just then another voice shouts out, “Hey!” The two Digimon turn only for Kuzuhamon to get rammed by Dianamon and TigerVespamon to get kicked in the waist by ShineGreymon Burst Mode causing them to get sent into the sky. On the meanwhile, the rest of the Sailor Scouts with the Digidestined and their Digimon, in their highest forms possible, arrive on the scene.

Sailor Jupiter says, “You know, I’m getting sick and tired of these jerks attacking Sailor Moon so much!”

Sailor Mars says, sternly, “What are we going to do about it? Thanks to those assess, Marble, Masahide Eniguma, and Yuuko, who was pretending to be Celestial, Meatball Head not only got her ‘secret identity’ exposed, but her ‘connection’ to Kayaba was revealed!”

Sailor Venus shouts out, angrily, “But that’s not fair! If Kayaba really cared anything about her, she wouldn’t have been trapped in the game in the first place! Plus, she did everything that she could to save as many lives as possible despite being only as strong as other players in SAO! And the majority of survivors agree that she is just like them…a victim of SAO!”

Sailor Uranus says, with a nod, “We know that, and a lot of the world knows that Venus. However, they don’t give a damn about that. They want ‘satisfaction’ and no amount of money can pay for the lives that were destroyed. They want blood and SAO only ended around one and one-half years ago. The memories are still raw and still there. It is human nature. It isn’t right at all, but that’s just human nature.”

Sailor Orion says, nodding her head and preparing her bow, “I have to agree with Uranus. I hate it as much as you do, but Uranus has a point. And with leftover bits of Celestial’s energies all around the place, thanks to her battle with Ragnarok, they, as well as others, can get all sorts of powers.”

Davis says, “No kidding! And even with her help and awesome new powers, we’ll still cleaning up from that murderous freak of nature!”

Tai tells Davis, “What did you expect Davis? It has been only two months and the damage from Ragnarok was in trillions of yen!” On the meanwhile, the Masane Amaha ‘doppelganger’, Rie, gets to her feet and she snarls at Sailor Celestial.

Rie yells out, angrily, “You! I hate you! You were dead! Dead like my brother! Why do you get to come back from the dead and he doesn’t?! What makes you so special?!”

Sailor Celestial responds, “Nothing really.” Blades come out of Rie’s armored hands/arms and she gives a roar of anger in which she attacks Sailor Celestial, who counters with two of her swords which are none other than her trusty Elucidator and Dark Repulser.

As the two of them fight, Sailor Uranus shouts out to the crowds of people still in the area, “What the heck are you doing?! Get out of here! This is a war zone!”
Davis shouts out, “Move it!” On the meanwhile, ShineGreymon Burst Mode and Dianamon are facing off against Kuzuhamon and TigerVespamon and Kuzuhamon prepares to attack.

“Supreme Cannon!”

But just then both of them yell out in pain as they are hit hard by two energy shots from Omnimon, who is then joined by Imperialdramon in his ‘dragon mode’ with Magnadramon.

Mode Change Digivolution

“Imperialdramon Mode Change to…Imperialdramon Fighter Mode!”

End Mode Change Digivolution

With Imperialdramon Fighter Mode, Magnadramon, and Omnimon joining up with ShineGreymon BM and Dianamon and Omnimon asks, sarcastically, “I’m sorry. Was this a private party or can any Digimon join?” Back with Sailor Celestial, she is using her swords to easily block Rie’s attacks without much trouble.

“Mercury Absolute Freeze!”

Sailor Mercury then slams her right palm into the ground and a wave of ice heads straight for Sailor Celestial and Rie in which Sailor Celestial leaps up while the ice reaches Rie’s legs and she yelps as her body starts to get encased in ice.

Rie yells out, confused, “What the?!”

Sailor Venus says, excitedly, “Nice one, Mercury!” Before Rie is completely covered in ice, she shatters the ice around her with a shockwave of power.

Rie shouts out, angrily, “Do you think that’s enough to stop me?” But then a column of ice bursts out of the frozen ground, slams into her, and sends Rie flying into the side of a van five hundred yards away with force that buckles the whole of the van.

Sailor Jupiter says, with a grin, “No, but an ice battering ram might.” However, Rie recovers nearly instantly and she takes the buckled, but still intact van and throws at our heroes and heroines. However, Sailor Jupiter flies up and easily catches van with her holding it up with one hand. Soon after, Rie yelps out as she is surround in a storm of rose petals before thorny vines wrap around her armored arms and legs thanks to Tuxedo Mask.

Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “Great job, Tuxedo Mask!” Rie roars out as she struggles against her restraints and slowly starts to snap them.

“Saturn Nightmare Screech!”

Sailor Saturn then creates a legion of bats from the shadows that surround Rie and unleash loud soundwaves causing Rie to scream out as the deafening sounds causing her unable to struggle back.

Sailor Neptune says, with a smile, “Good job, Firefly.”

Sailor Saturn gives a smile and Sailor Orion says, “I’ll finish this.” Sailor Orion fires a single arrow at Rie that heads straight for her, but she manages to catch it in her hands, however, it explodes and spreads a mist around Rie causing her to cough in which when the mist fades, Rie then starts to feel woozy before she collapses into unconsciousness soon afterwards.

Sailor Venus says, with a grin, “Nice! A ‘sleep arrow’.”

Sailor Orion says, with a smirk, “All too easy.” Rie’s two Digimon partners, Kuzuhamon and TigerVespamon, see this happen to their partner and they are shocked to see what just happened to their partner.

Kuzuhamon shouts out, “Rie!”

TigerVespamon yells out, stunned, “No!”

ShineGreymon BM says, “It’s over!”

Dianamon says, “Surrender peacefully.”

Kuzuhamon and TigerVespamon look angrily at the Digimon and Kuzuhamon shouts out, strongly, “Never! Not until the pain of my partner is healed!”

Imperialdramon FM says, solemnly, “Then you leave us no choice.” Kuzuhamon then charges right at the four Mega Digimon.

“Final Glorious Burst!”

ShineGreymon BM becomes engulfed in powerful flames and rams into Kuzuhamon, who screams out as she is engulfed in the flames and deleted causing her to turn into hundreds to thousands of data particles.

TigerVespamon yells out, shocked, “No!” Just then Dianamon come in and with a series of attacks, Dianamon knocks TigerVespamon high into the sky.

“Giga Crusher!”

Imperialdramon FM fires a powerful beam from a cannon that comes out of his chest that TigerVespamon howls out as she is deleted and turned into hundreds to thousands of data particles.

ShineGreymon BM says, “What a waste.”

Omnimon says, with a nod, “Indeed.” Back with the others, Sailor Celestial goes over to Rie and her broach opens in which she shines a rainbow light down on Rie causing her to turn into a regular 16-year-old teenage girl with mid-waist black hair, brown eyes, and wearing a classic Japanese high school female sailor fuku.

Sailor Jupiter says, “Glad that’s over.”

Sailor Uranus says, “Don’t expect it to be the last.”

Sailor Pluto says, “I have to admit that Uranus is correct. There are still trace amounts of Celestial’s energies all around due to the battle with Ragnarok and not to mention the mysterious interactions with the Dark Agency with Dark Digidestined and Tamer organizations are also concerning.”

Davis says, annoyed, “No kidding. It was like they were waiting for what happened to happen.”

Sailor Mars says, “Much like what happened with…” The others then look at Sailor Moon, who looks solemnly down at Rie, and later on, the still unconscious Rie, strapped down to a mobile cot, is being taken in an ambulance with Sailor Mercury displaying holographic screens to police officers and medical personal.

The medical personal then leave and a police officer captain says, with a sigh, “Another stupid revenge plot.”

Sailor Mercury says, “It would seem so.”

The police captain says, shaking his head, “As her fellow SAO survivors said in their interviews: ‘If Kayaba gave a damn about her, why did he keep her trapped in that hell in the first place?’ I’m surprised that your poor girl isn’t a wreck by now.” The police captain says, looking at Sailor Moon, “But I guess that’s why you are superheroes. You are tougher than you look.”

Sailor Mercury says, solemnly, “It would seem so.”

The police captain says, “No disrespect of course.”

Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, “Of course. Sorry for any trouble.”

The police captain says, “Trouble? If it wasn’t for you, girls, we would be in big trouble. Well, that’s my opinion anyway. Like in anime and manga, police aren’t equipped to deal with the supernatural and the super-human. We just take care of human crooks that are just like us. They may have even military equipment, but that’s why we have SWAT teams and other ‘special forces’. But we can’t deal with super-powered beings that can demolish a skyscraper with one damn punch.” The police captain says, with a sigh, “But sometimes that we forget that even in anime and manga, superheroes are mainly human, too, in one form or another and you have plenty of ‘human problems’, too.”

Sailor Mercury thinks in her mind, “More than you know.”

The police captain says, looking at Sailor Celestial, “It was a real shock to find out that girl was just a regular high school girl inside of that fancy armor and with all that power. And it was also horrifying on what happened to her. I couldn’t help to imagine that could have been my own girl.” Sailor Mercury looks at the police captain in surprise and he says, “Then there was all that insanity that she came back like in anime and manga with those four ‘doppelgangers’ of hers and then it was revealed that she really came back to life…Whoa! It was a real shocker!”

Sailor Mercury says, “Well, as we explained, the combination of her powers and the alien technology produced a one-in-a-billion miracle. It can NEVER be duplicated again.”

The police captain says, “Tell that to the groups all over the world that believe that she is ‘something else’. I don’t blame the girl for that happening, but it is a pain. But then again, she must be suffering a headache from them too.” Sailor Mercury can’t help to nod her head in agreement and the police captain says, “I guess that we’re all still adjusting from what that…that ‘monster’ did around two months ago.”

Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, “We are.” Soon enough, the police captain and Sailor Mercury separate from each other and Sailor Mercury heads back in which Tuxedo Mask is comforting Sailor Moon as they are helping take care of any damages caused by the fighting.

Early June 2026, Tokyo, Okachimachi

Right now, we are within the Dicey Café in the Okachimachi area where we find our Sailor Scouts, Digidestined, and their Digimon partners together with Davis’ sister, Jun, Kazuto, Rika, Keiko, Hiyori, Kotone, Ryoutarou, and Andrew as they are discussing something.

Ryoutarou whistles and he asks, “Man, girl! You okay?”

Serena says, with a sigh, “Physically, yeah.”

Rika tells Serena, “Come on, girl. You can’t keep thinking about the people that you couldn’t save in SAO.”

Serena says, “I know that.” Serena then sighs, again, and she says, “But it is really tough, you know? With my identity exposed and the fact that I’m his niece, it isn’t just family and friends of those that died in SAO after me, it is people from Argus along with their friends and family.”

Ken says, “While it is true that they have a right to be angry since they had a ‘stigma’ put on them for belonging to Argus, but it was Kayaba alone that should be blamed. If Kayaba fooled his own family, how could his co-workers and bosses suspect anything? His record before SAO showed that he didn’t do anything that ANYONE would never have suspected that he would be capable of an ‘act’ as SAO.”

Tai says, with a nod, “Yeah, but it is Kayaba that they should be angry at not the rest of his family especially Serena most of all. She risked her life constantly during those two years that we were trapped and saved a lot of players lives.”

Kazuto says, nodding his head in agreement, “Exactly. Kayaba’s actions were his own and only his own.”

Suguha bangs the table with her fist and she says, angrily, “Damn it all! I thought that we were done with that jerk and his legacy! Even dead for good, he comes back to haunt us!”

Andrew tells Suguha, “Easy, girl. I had that polished.”

Suguha says, nervously, “Sorry, Andrew.”

Andrew says, with a smile, “It’s okay.” Andrew says, plainly, “Anyway, I should ask on how you are doing.”

Suguha says, with a smile, “I’m doing just fine.”

Patamon says, with a smile, “That’s good.”

Rika says, with a grin, “Anyway, I hear that you have a set of new abilities!”

Hiyori asks, curiously, “Really?”

Suguha says, with a sigh, “Yes, I have a few new abilities that’s not due to my Ark Valkyrie powers.”

Keiko asks, curiously, “Really?”

Ryoutarou asks, with an excited curious look on his face, “What kind of awesome abilities do you have now?”

Kazuto asks, with a sigh, “Does Sugu really have to answer?’

Ryoutarou says, “You aren’t darn kidding me, bro! You can’t let your best bud not know your super-hero sister’s awesome new powers.”

Suguha says, with a groan, “Fine.” Suguha asks, “Remember Elysium?”

Keiko asks, curiously, “Elysium?”

Asuna says, “That’s right, Keiko-chan. She was one of Suguha-chan’s ‘doppelgangers’. The ‘masked Sailor Celestial’, remember? She was the artificial being created by Kayaba’s AI in his ‘hideout’ that brought Suguha-chan to the regeneration matrix that help revive her.”

Lita says, “That also used her as a power source for her powers.”

Cody says, “To keep the rest of Suguha’s energies out of Yuuko’s hands when she used the Dark Broach to steal those energies to pretend to be Suguha as the ‘Cyborg Sailor Celestial’.”

Kazuto says, changing the subject, “Anyway, remember that she had her own unique power of her own.”

Rika says, with a nod, “Yeah, those freaky energy blasts.”

Ami says, “Actually, they were a form of ‘energy manipulation’. She had the ability to manipulate all forms of energy to produce beams of pure energy, ice beams, solar energy beams, and all sorts of ‘energy beams’ that can perform all sorts of actions.”

Amara says, with a nod, “Yeah, she just used the kind that turn anyone into well-done beef.”

Davis asks Amara, “Don’t you mean extra crispy?”

Ryoutarou asks, curiously, “So, what’s the point?”

Suguha says, with a sigh, “It seems like when she absorbed a large chunk of my energy from Yuuko when she attacked me and added the energy that she took from me to restore my powers as Sailor Celestial, she also passed on that power to me.”

There are gasps and Andrew asks, curiously, “Seriously?”

Suguha says, plainly, “Seriously.”

Trista says, “However, she can only use it in Senshi form.”

Ryoutarou yells out, excitedly, “Doesn’t matter because that’s so awesome! I can’t wait to see it in action!”

Hiyori asks, “What’s the other ‘new power’?”

Ami says, nervously, “It isn’t a ‘power’ per say…”

Ryoutarou yells out, excitedly, “Then what is it?!”

Rika tells Ryoutarou, annoyed, “Cool it, Klein!” Rika then punches Ryoutarou in the arm in which he winches from that.

Darien says, “It is actually an ability resulting from Suguha’s ‘revival’. Remember she was put in special ‘healing chamber’ that’s designed to heal any wounds even fatal ones as long as the person is still alive.”

Andrew says, with a nod, “Yeah, you told us the story, bro. It wasn’t designed at all to bring someone back from the dead. Suguha was the exception to that rule because of her power as Sailor Celestial and her Etherion. The chemicals in that chamber mixed with the remaining energies in her body to completely regenerate and restore her body and revive her back to life.”

Kazuto says, with a nod, “That’s right, Andrew. However, recently, we found that there was a ‘side effect’.”

Rika asks, “Side effect?”

Suguha says, nervously, “It seems like that the way that I was revived also greatly boosted my immune system so much that…I have a ‘healing power’ now.”

There are more gasps of shock and amazement and Keiko asks, curiously, “Really?”

Mina says, excitedly, “You know it! It even works outside of her Sailor Scout form!”

Darien says, looking at Mina with a serious stare, “However, it is weaker outside of her Sailor Scout form, but now, she has a strong healing factor.”

Rika asks, excitedly, “How strong is it?”

Hinata says, a bit nervously, “When she is in Sailor Scout form, it rivals and even exceeds Naruto-kun’s healing factor or those heroes in American manga like Wolverine.”

Ryoutarou yells out, stunned, “No way!”

Hotaru says, “All of us have ‘healing powers’ as Sailor Scouts. That’s why we are able to take more punishment and it is stronger due to our Valkyrie forms.”

Shion says, “However, Suguha’s new ‘healing factor’ is at a whole new level. She can take A LOT more punishment than we can.”

Ryoutarou asks, nervously, “Stupid question: But how do you know that?”

Our Sailor Scouts and Digidestined look at each other along with Kazuto in which Asuna says, nervously, “We found that out when…Suguha-chan got her arm crushed recently.”

Lita says, “And Asuna means ‘crushed’…Every bone in her arm was broken from the attack.”

With those words, there are, yet, more gasps of shock and Andrew asks, flabbergasted, “You have got to be kidding me?”

Keiko says, looking at Suguha, stunned, “But you look fine.”

Darien says, “It didn’t work right away, but after a good enough time, Suguha’s arm completely restored herself much to even Suguha’s shock.”

Suguha says, seriously, “You would be too, Darien! Having your arm healed just like that WITHOUT Hotaru’s help at all.”

Lita says, with a grin, “And the jerk that crushed Suguha’s arm? Well, don’t ask.”

Ryoutarou says, nervously, “Don’t tell.”

Ami says, “After the fight, we discovered Suguha’s new healing is incredibly strong in Sailor Scout form and it is possible that she can even regenerate lost body parts.”

Serena says, nervously, “Please Ami-chan, don’t mention that.”

Suguha says, nervously, “I seriously don’t want to test that out.”

Ami says, nervously, “Sorry.”

Darien says, “However, we believe that it is nowhere at THAT level outside of Sailor Scout form, but the fact is that Suguha can heal much faster than the rest of us.”

Suguha says, nervously, “Hey, it isn’t like I asked for these new ‘powers’!”

Kazuto tells Suguha, with a kind smile, “We know, Sugu.”

Asuna says, “You are readjusting as much as we are.” Just then the door opens in which Naruto and Sakura enter the café.

Hinata and Suguha say in unison, “Naruto-kun!”

Naruto says, excitedly, “Hey, Hinata-chan! Suguha-chan!” Hinata and Suguha run over to hug both Sakura and Naruto in which both Hinata and Suguha kiss Naruto on his cheeks causing Kazuto’s eyebrow to twitch in which both Serena and Asuna notice this.

Hinata asks Sakura and Naruto, “How was the mission?”

Sakura says, with a smile, “Went off without a hitch.”

Naruto says, with a grin, “Believe it!”

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

Sakura says, “We saw the news. It looks like another headache.”

Yolei says, with a groan, “You have no idea.”

Kazuto says, “Kayaba’s legacy still haunting us despite him being long gone.”

Naruto says, “Geez! I thought you were done with that ass and his legacy.”

Kotone says, “We thought so too.”

Amara says, “Even now, it still haunts us.”

Sakura says, with a plain tone, “I hate to be a pain in the butt, but it was part of that ‘legacy’ that allowed us to have Suguha back.”

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “As much as any of us hate to admit it, Sakura has a point. It was Kayaba that created Elysium and the ‘healing chamber’ that helped bring Sugu back.”

Darien says, “However, that doesn’t excuse him for all the damage and harm that he has done.” Darien’s right hand turns into a fist with his words.

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Very much so. And I will never forgive him for all of the pain, misery, and scars that he has given Asuna, Serena, Sugu, and everyone else that he has hurt with Sword Art Online, but I do get the message that Sakura is saying.” Kazuto says, looking at Sakura, “It may be Kayaba’s ‘legacy’, but it is what we do with it that counts. It, namely the Full-Dive VR technology and VRMMO creation package, ‘The Seed’, is how we, the people use it.”

Plenty of the others nod their heads, happily, in agreement and Suguha asks, “Speaking of, did Seven…I mean Doctor Rainbow call about how Origin is doing?”

Izzy says, with a smile, “Origin is right on schedule.”

Andrew says, “Needless to say that I was shocked when I first heard it.”

Kazuto says, “All of us were shocked Andrew.” Kazuto says, looking at Suguha, “But I was more shocked when I heard Sugu knew about before any of us did.”

Suguha says, with a nervous smile, “It wasn’t like I was keeping a deep dark secret from you, but when I overheard about Origin, it was just in the first stages of development or re-development since Origin is the second version of the re-make of SAO that Future Divers created. Their first attempt was Sword Art World, but thanks to Sugou sending his ‘agents’ into their ‘club’, they had to stop it big time due all the stuff that they did to it, messing it up in the process.”

Darien says, “Most likely, Sugou was using Future Divers as a ‘second front’ for his ‘work’.”

Serena and Asuna give a nasty ‘shiver’ from mentioning of Sugou Nobuyuki’s ‘work’ and Molly says, “But thanks to when Rini and I helped Asuna’s father investigate him, we managed to get rid of his agents from Future Divers despite him not naming them.”

Rini says, with a grin, “The ratty snake left plenty of information for us to work with.”

Sakura says, with a growl, “He is just as sick as Orochimaru.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Believe it.”

Molly says, “Anyway, like Suguha said, their plans to make a safe version of SAO was completely ruined and they had to get back to square one.”

Rini says, with a smile, “However, thanks to the ‘Seed’ and even the old SAO severs, Sword Art: Origin is ready to go.”

Kotone says, “Like Andrew and Kazuto, I was shocked to hear about it. It…brought back a few…bad memories.”

Asuna says, with a nod, “I think that all of us that survived SAO thought that at first. However, I don’t think that former SAO beta testers would want to recreate the horror that took the lives of their friends.”

Kazuto says, nodding his head, “I agree, Asuna. They made Origin to honor them and all that died in SAO in which they said in their public statements when Origin was announced.”

Trista says, “Plus, they went to the government, namely the VR Division, to help in the development and oversight of the whole project.”

TK says, “And when they say oversight, they mean keeping a close eye on every single person and double to triple checking the all of the programming of Origin to make sure everything goes okay in which they also made sure that Origin only works with an Amusphere or a Full-Dive VR device with similar security systems through I don’t see the point of that.”

Ken says, “Believe us in that after SAO, there are quite a few people trying to develop their own Full-Dive VR devices, but they won’t match the Amusphere. Until the day that they create a VR device with the ‘power’ of a NervGear and the safety of an Amusphere, I doubt that.”

Izzy says, with a nod, “I agree, Ken.”

Davis says, looking at Suguha, “Well, thanks to our famous ‘ultimate Sailor Scout’ and Rainbow herself, Origin has gotten through the ‘first stage’ without too much trouble.”

Suguha asks, with a groan, “Do you have to call me that Davis?”

Kazuto says, with a grin, “Anyway, while Origin has gotten through the ‘first stage’ without trouble, it is the next stage that will be focused on: The beta test.”

Rika says, excitedly, “And all of us have been invited.”

Ryoutarou says, “No joke!”

Andrew asks, “Who better?”

Amara says, with a nod, “Andrew has a point. The perfect PR for Origin is to have SAO survivors play the game and give it the ‘thumbs up’. That will completely get rid of the fear that the public has once and for all.”

Ami says, “It may not be easy, but the performance of the Origin beta is going to crucial and anything serious will be cause for alarm.”

Mina says, “That’s what we’re there for!”

Raye says, with a smirk, “What most of us are there for. You are there to have fun with personal cupid.” Mina sticks her tongue out at Raye and Raye tells Mina, “Real mature, Mina-chan.”

Michelle says, with a smile, “Anyway, we have a big kendo tournament to prepare for.” Michelle then says, looking at Suguha, “Especially our greatest swordswoman of the Sailor Scouts.”

Suguha says, with an embarrassed look, “Cut it out, Michelle!”

Molly says, with a smile, “Anyway, she has a point. You are going to have a lot of competition in the tournament.”

Suguha says, “Personally, it was a shock since everyone and their grandparents know that Suguha Kirigaya and Sailor Celestial are one and the same.”

Darien says, “Well, you did save the world…quite a few times.”

Suguha says, nervously, “With your help. The only time that I saved the world by myself…Well, it didn’t end well for me.” Suguha holds her hand to her heart area and she says, “I can still feel where he struck me. I…We never faced such a creature before. Ragnarok was…something else.”

Hinata says, “The others told us about him after we got back from our mission. We saw him after the battle.”

Sakura says, “What was left of that creature after you blew his head off…literally!”

Michelle tells Suguha, “We don’t blame you if you are a bit afraid of him still. All of us are still afraid.”

Mina says, with a winch, “No kidding.”

Hotaru says, nervously, “We never faced anything with such savagery…such brutally…”

Amara says, “Ragnarok was nothing like the enemies that we faced before. Other enemies just wanted something from humans or us to further their plans like humans’ energy, their heart crystal to fuel someone like Mistress Ninety…” Amara tells Hotaru, “Sorry, Firefly.”

Hotaru says, with a smile, “It is okay, Amara-papa. I made my peace with her a long time ago.”

Raye says, “Ragnarok…was like fury…and rage…his hatred and need to kill…No, it wasn’t a need or want…It was his whole being…was created just to slaughter…and destroy…”

Kazuto says, “Just like that villain from the American DC manga: Doomsday.”

Amara says, with a plain tone, “Expect that Ragnarok was the real deal. We found out that personally.”

Shion says, “He ripped through us like it was no tomorrow. I couldn’t get any distance from him…our weapons were useless…and if we used our attacks, we just made him more powerful.”

Mina wraps her arms around herself and she says, “It was…a nightmare that was all too real. I remember what happened that day. No matter what we tried, nothing worked on him and he kept coming and he…he beat us into the ground…busted our armor…broke our bones…and torn us apart…”

TK gently hugs Mina and he says, “Easy, Mina-chan.”

Asuna says, looking at Kazuto, “It was horrible, Kirito-kun. I never felt such fear other than in SAO. I watched as the others get nearly beaten to death by Ragnarok.” Asuna holds her left arm with her right arm and Kazuto hugs Asuna gently.

Tai says, “Only Suguha and Serena were left. Even our partners at Mega level were easily beaten by that behemoth.”

Matt tells Tai, “Beaten? More like a miracle that none of them got deleted.”

Gatomon says, plainly, “You are telling us.”

Palmon says, with a nod, “It was…horrible.”

Darien says, “Other than Serena and Suguha, I was the only one left uninjured, but even with my enhanced powers, I’m nowhere near a Valkyrie Sailor Scouts and I knew that my best way of helping was getting innocent people out of the way to allow Serena and Suguha to focus on Ragnarok, however, it was hard.”

Serena says, with a nod, “Ragnarok moved with such speed. He was all over Tokyo throughout that day. We could barely keep up.”

Suguha says, “Our weapons were useless and using our special attacks made him even stronger. He could even absorb my attacks and energies. Me! The freaking Sailor Scout of Reality! We then focused our powers and energies into our physical abilities enhancing our strength, speed, agility, and more to battle him, but that fiend kept getting the better of the two of us.”

Serena says, “Well, we had never had to perform major hand-to-hand combat. We had to use a few punches and kicks during our time as Sailor Scouts, but no major hand-to-hand battles. We mainly used special attacks and weapons. We were on a learning curb using our fists and feet.”

Suguha says, with a nod, “But Ragnarok wasn’t going to give us time to figure that out, so, we had to figure it out as we went and it was a major ‘school of hard knocks’ on our heads. Ragnarok kept throwing us to the curb no matter how much we bashed him. He took punches that could flatter entire skyscrapers and he could destroy them too with one punch. And it felt like the harder that we fought, the stronger he got.”

Trista says, “It was more likely that the two of you were getting weaker during the battle. The two of you were pushing your powers to your limits. Even with Serena’s Silver Crystal as powerful as ever and Suguha’s power as Sailor Celestial, you are still mortal. You were draining more and more of the energies that your bodies could handle at the time trying to contain Ragnarok.”

Suguha says, “And then the big brute nearly went and destroyed the world.”

Ryoutarou says, “Really? I’m sorry to be insulting, but I still find it hard to believe.”

Lita says, “Don’t blame you.”

Izzy says, with a nod, “Agreed. But with what we detected coming off Ragnarok, the blast that he would have unleashed would have been much more powerful than the nuclear bombs used on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In fact, the whole of Tokyo, including us, would have been vaporized and an ash cloud would have been sent into the sky that would have covered the whole planet.”

Kazuto says, “Armageddon.”

Cody says, with a nod, “In short, yes.”

Suguha says, “Deep down, I knew that too. I had to stop that freak. But I couldn’t beat him down and our weapons and powers were useless, however, I remembered that my Etherion could be crystalized into a crystal known as an Energist.”

Trista says, “Energist is a crystal that’s harder than diamond itself. And while it is also an excellent ‘power battery’, Energist crystal is said to cut through ANYTHING.”

Suguha says, “I focused my Etherion into my sword and forged an Energist blade in which I gathered my strength for one final charge. Ragnarok saw me coming and manages to grab me in mid-air, but I used my Energist blade to cut off his arm. It worked! Then I saw where in his body he was gathering the energy. It was quite obvious since that part of his hulky form was glowing. However, I saw him regenerate his right arm with a spike and he was prepared to attack in which he was prepared to blow too. There was no time to escape and attack. I knew what I had to do, but he didn’t give me time as he slashed me through the side.” Suguha says, putting her hand over her heart, “The pain…it was beyond anything that I ever felt before. Not even my battle with Kayaba at the Ruby Palace in SAO was so painful. I could barely keep it together, but he managed to knock me away. I struggled to get back on me and not fade out. But then sis got back into the fight, however, he slammed her into the dirt, hard, and I saw that fiend was going to attempt to kill her as he nearly killed one of the others. I also saw that he was about to explode. There was no time. I couldn’t think. I had to act NOW! I had a feeling that it was a ‘kamikaze run’, but even if I was going to go, I was damned if I wasn’t going to take him with me…and prevent him for destroying any more lives like he did with so many others. I focused all the power that I had left into my right arm and created a blade of Energist around it and I got in position where my fist would hit home along with my ‘Energist sword’. Then I charged him, stuck him, and then…wham! I felt…nothing. All I felt was the wind from the shockwave when I bashed Ragnarok’s head in. There was…silence. There was nothing until I heard a voice. I couldn’t hear it very well and when I opened my eyes, everything was so…so hazy. I couldn’t see so well and I quickly realized that it was Serena’s voice. Sis was telling me to hang on, but in my last thought, I thought about that fiend. I hoped and prayed that Ragnarok in which I tried to ask if that freak was down, but I couldn’t hear my own voice. And then I heard Lita that I took that fiend down for good. I felt relief and then…I felt nothing as everything fell to black.”

A shiver comes over the group and Andrew says, plainly and amazed expression on his face, “Whoa. I heard that your life flashes before your eyes before you…you know.”

Suguha says, “Maybe it happened to me and I don’t remember it. All I do remember is it is all dark and then I remember seeing a small light in which I go through that light. The next thing I knew I was on my hands and knees on a cold floor.”

Davis says, “Kayaba’s secret hideout where that tech helped revive you.”

Suguha says, with a nod, “I was…confused…my mind was so hazy…I felt…well, wet…not surprising since I was surrounded in some kind of liquid for who knows how long…I heard sounds…saw lights…and I just ran…somehow I found my way out of there and out in the forest where I got some kind of cloak…I had something like a swimsuit on me or something…I don’t know…I just kept running…and then I collapsed on the ground and blacked out in which I heard a guy and girl over me.”

Darien says, “That was Oyama-san and Amaya-san when you ran into them.”

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yep. The next thing I knew I was in a bed where…Well, a very gorgeous female nurse was watching over me. It was Aki-san and she told me that I was in Tenbi Academy. She asked me who I was and I couldn’t remember anything.”

Molly says, “Can’t be blamed for that. There are plenty of cases of near-death experiences where people lose part or all of their memories due to the trauma of the experience.”

Ryoutarou says, “Yeah, girl! Don’t want to bring up any bad memories, but you had the full deal and came back to life, big time!”

Suguha says, “No joke. My mind was all a hazy, but then at one point, I had overheard them talking about me as Sailor Celestial and my memories just came back like a hammer blow. Soon after I recovered from that, I realized that a ‘strange pull’ that I was feeling was someone or should I say, SOME PEOPLE tapping into my powers and soon enough, the staff of Tenbi realized that I regained my memories and gave me back my broach. They said that I had it on me when they found me. I don’t know how I got my hands on my broach when I had gotten out of the ‘healing chamber’, but I found that I couldn’t use it because my energies were being ‘tapped’.”

Sakura says, “Then you found out about the ‘Real Account’ chaos.”

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah, I knew that I had to get back. I managed to sneak out and Amaya-san gave me a bit of cash to get back to the city. By the time that I had gotten back, I already knew of my four ‘doppelgangers’ since the news was full about them. I had a bit of déjà vu and decided to find my cyborg counterpart in which I snuck into Real Account headquarters finding out the head of Real Account was one of the masterminds of this insanity along with this ‘Marble’ and my cyborg doppelganger.” Suguha says, “From there, I managed to find my way to that duplicate Aincrad that she built and found all of you in that Dimension Duel. Thankfully, I managed to retrieve my deck and duel disk.”

Mina says, “Yeah, you stop her plan to stomp Serena cold.”

Davis says, “Your ‘evil doppelganger’ didn’t appreciate that.”

Suguha says, “No freaking kidding, Davis. However, Elysium, who Yuuko injured earlier, came to help and used her body not only to shield me, but to also absorb my energies from Yuuko, return them to me, and release the ‘lock’ that she put on my powers. To make sure that Yuuko wouldn’t get more of my powers, Elysium established a ‘bond’ with me allowing her to create a ‘clone body’ of me and channel my energies as Sailor Celestial through she couldn’t use my Etherion for obvious reasons. When she did that, she put a ‘lock’ on my powers which she unlocked as she returned my energies from Yuuko and returned the energies that she was using to me. She also transferred her memories to me in which that was when I learned that my ‘cyborg doppelganger’ was indeed Yuuko. As I felt my powers being restored, let’s just say that I felt shock, horror, and I was pissed.”

Amara says, “You showed that when you gave her a major throw down when you regained your powers.”

Suguha says, “Add to the fact that I ‘activated’ my Ark Valkyrie Sailor Scout powers for the first time. It seems like while I was in limbo, I managed to ‘earn’ my Valkyrie partner, Yggdrasil, when I was fighting for my life…or fighting to come back to life.”

Suguha shakes her head and Ryoutarou says, “I was shocked to learn that Elysium chick or whatever was created by Kayaba to save your life! First, he tries to beat you, Kirito, and Serena up! And now, he had created something to bring you back from the dead! I don’t get him at all!”

Serena says, solemnly, “I don’t think that anyone can understand him.”

Yolei says, with a nod, “That’s for sure.”

Mina says, with a grin, “Well, when you got your powers back, you really went ‘hog wild’ on that faker!”

Amara says, with a sly smirk, “Which is why you don’t piss her off.”

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

Suguha gives an embarrassed blush and Ami says, “And thanks to the information that she managed to get, we managed to put an end to Real Account.”

Kazuto says, “Thankfully, none of us were swept up in it.”

Plenty of the others nod their heads in agreement and Izzy says, “It was shocking to learn what they did with the technology that was made by Kashiwagi family.”

Suguha says, annoyed, “You mean twist and pervert it.”

Tai tells Suguha, “Easy, girl. We understand how you feel.”

TK says, with a nod, “Big time.”

Davis says, “Well, that asshole head of Real Account is in the slammer and his assistant is with him.”

Lita says, “Yeah, but Marble got away and Real Account is in real flux right now.”

Darien says, “That’s because Real Account began real important in our lives right now. If it is disbanded now, a lot of ‘functions’ are going to be thrown into chaos.”

Trista says, “Hopefully, a solution can be found to that.”

Plenty of the others nod their heads in agreement and Ryoutarou says, “Anyway, after you saved the day and possibly the world, again, your parents must have heart attacks learning that their girl just did a miracle and came back to life.”

Suguha gives an embarrassed blush and Kazuto thinks in his mind, with a warm smile, “You aren’t kidding, Klein.”

Flashback: Early May 2026, Kirigaya household

Inside of the Kirigaya household, Midori Kirigaya comes bursting into the front door and she screams out, “Suguha!” She looks into her home to see Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Kazuto, Rika, Kotone, Hiyori, Keiko, Darien, our Sailor Scouts, and our Digidestined with their Digimon partners surrounding Suguha and her two Digimon partners in which everyone looks at her.

Kazuto says, “Hey, mom.” However, Midori wasn’t looking at her adoptive son/nephew, she was looking right at her daughter, who, around one month ago, had been ruthlessly killed in battle fighting against a horrid fiend known as Ragnarok and she had buried in special tombs, twice, in that past month, comes over to her.

Suguha says, a bit nervously, “Hey, mom. I’m finally home.” Midori knew about Suguha’s four ‘counterparts’ and like Kazuto and Serena, Midori KNEW that they weren’t her daughter revived, but looking at Suguha and looking into her eyes, Midori KNEW that this was indeed her daughter back from the dead.

Midori says, excitedly with tears in her eyes, “My baby!” Midori then rushes in and embraces Suguha in a tight embrace.

Suguha yelps, “Yipe! Mom…!”

Midori looks at Suguha with tear-filled eyes and she asks, amazed, “But…how? You were…Oh, Kami…”

Kazuto tells Midori, with a warm smile, “To be honest, we’re not fully sure ourselves, but you realize it that this is Sugu. The REAL and only Sugu.”

Midori nods her head and she says, hugging Suguha tightly, “My girl…I thought…I thought that I lost you forever…”

Suguha hugs her Earth mom back and she says, “I’m sorry, mom. But don’t worry, I’m back and I’m not going anywhere.” A lot of the others can’t help to smile at this reunion between daughter and mother after a lot of extra ordinary events.

End Flashback; Return to the Present

Back in Dicey Café in the present, Andrew says, “Can’t blame her at all. You are her girl after all.”

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah.”

Ryoutarou asks, “What about your ‘other mom’?”

Rika retorts, “What do you think?”

Flashback: Early May 2026, Whirlpool

In the recently rebuilt nation of Whirlpool in the Elemental Countries, former Moon Queen Serenity is embracing Suguha with tears in her eyes while the others, along with Minato, Kushina, Ange, Tusk, and Vivian.

Queen Serenity says, “Selene, my daughter…”

Suguha says, with a smile, “Nice to see you, Serenity-mama.”

Tusk says, amazed, “Incredible!”

Vivian says, “Question: Who was dead and now, who has come back to life as if nothing happened? Answer: She did!”

Minato says, amazed, “This is unbelievable.”

Kushina tells Minato, with a grin, “What’s hard to believe, Minato-kun? We’ve seen dead ninjas come back to life before you know.”

Minato tells Kushina, “Not like this. Something like the Reanimation or what happened with Yugito-san and Fu-san, but I don’t think a complete resurrection like this.”

Kushina says, with a nod, “You have a point, Minato-kun.”

Ange tells Suguha, with a grin, “You know how much trouble that you caused everyone? And they called me a pain in the neck.”
Suguha says, with a smirk, “Last time that I checked, Hilda and others say that you are, Ange.”

Ange glares at Suguha with an annoyed look and Ange says, with a smile, “Welcome back, Suguha.”

Suguha says, with a grin, “I’m glad to be back, Ange.”

End Flashback; Return to the Present

Returning to the present and within Dicey Café, Suguha says, with a sigh, “It was really hard on everyone and it only got harder when I learned that everyone knew that Suguha Kirigaya and Sailor Celestial are the same person.”

Mina says, with a grin, “Oh, come on! It means that you are big celebrity now!”

Lita asks, with a sigh, “Seriously, Mina-chan?”

Davis asks, with a serious tone, “Haven’t you read those American manga where the super-hero’s identity becomes public?”

Ryoutarou says, with a nod, “No kidding, bro. It is usually problematic.”

Serena says, solemnly, “Tell me about it.”

Ryoutarou gives a nervous look and Sakura says, “Marble, Real Account’s former president, and Yuuko released the information on Serena to cause more chaos and sick those family and friends of those that died in SAO against her to make us unable to stop their plans.”

Tai says, “Well, as we know, that didn’t work out when Suguha came back and deliver a major haymaker.”

Matt says, looking at Serena, “Problem is that the damage was still done.”

Flashback; Early May 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

Within the Juuban District, it looks like a war zone as Valkyrie Sailor Moon goes over to her Earth mother, Ikuko Tsukino, and her younger Earth brother, Sammy Tsukino, who are struggling to their feet.

Sailor Moon asks, concerned, “Are you okay?”

Sammy replies, sarcastically, “Peachy, Meatball Head.”

Sailor Celestial shouts out, “How is your family?”

Sailor Moon says, looking at Sailor Celestial, “They are okay…Look out!” Sailor Moon points ahead of Sailor Celestial and Sailor Celestial turns only to get rammed by car sent flying into her in which she flies into a light pole causing the light pole to collapse due to sheer force of the impact!

Sailor Star yells out, worriedly, “Celestial-chan!” Everyone looks at where the car was thrown from and they see what looks like a minotaur youma with dark green hair with leaves in it and wearing an outfit made of some of the hardest rock and minerals on the planet.

The minotaur youma shouts out, “Your family will pay for what it did to mine!”

Sailor Mars shouts out, “Hey, genius! They had nothing to do with Kayaba!”

Sailor Jupiter yells out, annoyed, “Yeah! You have rocks in your head!” The minotaur youma roars out and causes columns of all kinds of rocks to burst out of the street and attack the Sailor Scouts like missiles.

Sailor Orion says, “And it looks like she wants to put rocks in our heads.”

Just then a powerful male voice shouts out, “Maybe she can settle for elemental flames instead!” Soon after, the minotaur youma is blasted by golden flames that sent her flying backwards until she slams into the side of another car causing it to cave in. Everyone looks to see Sailor Celestial’s Valkyrie ‘partner’, Yggdrasil, by Sailor Celestial’s side.

Sailor Venus says, excitedly, “Nice one!”

Sailor Celestial shakes her head as she is back on her feet and Yggdrasil asks, “Are you injured Celestial?”

Sailor Celestial replies, “Other than a ringing headache, I’m fine. Nothing ringing her gong won’t cure.”

The minotaur youma roars out, “It is going to be a pleasure to put you back in the grave!”

Sailor Celestial retorts, “You know if I had a yen for every time I heard that one, I would be as rich as those American millionaires!” The minotaur youma roars out, but dodges a rose whip from Tuxedo Mask, who is holding out his cape.

Tuxedo Mask yells out, “Okay, you bully, come on!”

Sailor Moon shouts out, concerned, “Tuxedo Mask, wait!” However, the minotaur youma charges right for Tuxedo Mask, but Tuxedo Mask continues to wave his cape and he has a big smirk on his face.

Just then a female voice shouts out, “Now!” Tuxedo Mask whips aside revealing that Sakura, who has her right fist pulled back, is behind the cape and the minotaur youma has no chance as Sakura lands a full powered super-strength blow to its face sending the minotaur youma flying over a mile, bouncing several times, before stopping with a massive ‘crash’.

Sailor Neo Moon says, “Ooh, that had to hurt!” With a loud ‘bang’, the minotaur youma emerges from the crater and it gives a huge roar of anger.

“Jupiter Kirin Fist!”

A storm cloud appears in the sky and a lightning bolt in the shape of a dragon wraps around Sailor Jupiter’s right fist, Sailor Jupiter then drops down on the minotaur youma and slams her right fist, charges with electrical energy, into the minotaur youma and the youma screams out in agony as it is majorly shocked. When the attack is done, the minotaur youma collapses to the ground with a nasty ‘thud’.

Sailor Uranus says, annoyed, “What a pain.”

Sailor Neptune says, plainly, “Sad.”

End Flashback; Return to the Present

Back in the present, Keiko asks, “What happened to that girl that attacked your family?”

Amara responds, with a plain tone, “Personally, I wanted to send her to a mental institution…” Serena gives a look of shock, but Amara says, “But our princess let her off with a warning…a stern warning.”

Rika says, “It must have worked since we haven’t heard from her.”

Asuna says, a bit nervously, “You can say that.”

Mina says, with a smile while trying to change the subject, “Come on! It isn’t so bad! Before this whole mess with Ragnarok and whatnot, we busted the Dark Agency!”

Raye says, with a plain tone, “Which the survivors became yakuza type criminal gangs, Mina. When we…lost Suguha, they took it as the ‘signal’ to cause more chaos in which we are still dealing with. How do you think that girl turned into a youma? She didn’t just transform into one!”

Mina gives Raye an annoyed glare and Tai says, “And all of the remaining Dark Digidestined and ‘rogue’ Tamers have formed their own criminal gangs, but they do things differently.”

Ken says, “Yeah. Now, they fight in the ‘cyber plane’ in which they and their partners hack into cyberspace to cause all sorts of havoc.”

Palmon says, annoyed, “No kidding! They are giving Digimon a bad name!”

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

Mina says, “Well, we don’t have to deal with that snake freak, Orochimaru, anymore.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Believe it!”

Sakura says, “Since we had already crushed the Akatsuki, Orochimaru teamed up with MIST and used their resources to build an army to start his own Fourth Great Ninja War.”

Lita says, with a grin, “But thanks to you, Naruto, Hinata, and a bit of help from the rest of us! His plans backfire big time!”

Flashback; Early March 2026, Elemental Countries

Somewhere within the Elemental Countries, Sakura, wielding the special sword from the Hayabusa clan, Valkyrie Sailor Galaxy, who has deep blue eyes with a white-lavender floral pattern in them and a deep blue chakra aura surrounding her body and armor, and Naruto, using his Six Paths power and Rinne-Sharingan, are facing Orochimaru in his eight-headed serpent form, but all of the heads of the serpents have mains that make them look similar to the heads of dragons.

Orochimaru yells out, in a monstrous voice, “You won’t beat me, boy! I am not like the version of me in that worthless manga! I am truly immortal!”

Naruto shouts out, “You want to bet, snake freak?!”
Sakura yells out, “Let’s forget the taunting and finish him once and for all!”

Naruto yells out, “Believe it!”

Sakura shouts out, “Sacred Sakura Firestorm!” Sakura then unleashes a fire twister filled with pink sakura petals right at Orochimaru.

“Tenseigan Lion Roar!”

“Elemental Style: Big Bang Rasenshuriken!”

“Sailor Celestial Universal Power!”

Joining Sakura’s attack was Valkyrie Sailor Galaxy unleashing a wave of deep blue chakra in the form of a massive lion, a Rasenshuriken made up of all sorts of elemental and sub-elemental chakra, and Sailor Celestial, Sailor Moon, Sailor Sun, and Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts uniting their powers into rainbow colored attack shaped like the Milky Way Galaxy. All of the attacks slams into Orochimaru at once and he howls as he instantly vaporized in a massive explosion that sends a column of energy that can be seen for hundreds of miles. When the explosion dies down and the smoke and dust fade, there is an immense crater where Orochimaru was and some distance away, Kabuto, Orochimaru’s assistant, falls to his knees in complete disbelief.

End Flashback; Return to the Present

Back in the present, Yolei says, with a sly smile, “You took care of him good!”

Naruto says, with a nod, “You know it, Yolei!”

Sakura says, “And his asshole partner, Kabuto, followed soon after along with MIST. That problem was taken care for good.”

Matt says, “And then there was MBI and its leader.”

Yolei says, looking at Davis and Jun, “There is more to you than meets the eye. First, your dad is an alien and has been around for a long time in which he still looks quite good.”

Jun says, “That’s due to dad’s unique stasis as a Juranian and then some.”

Yolei tells Jun, with narrowing eyes, “Well, there is your mom and we find out that she is the heiress of ancient legendary family of thieves.”

Davis says, with a shrug and a grin, “What can we say? You don’t pick your parents.”

TK says, with a smirk, “But I’m not surprised since you stole Kari’s heart while Jun stole my brother’s heart.” Plenty of the others giggle at this in which Davis and Jun rub their heads while Kari and Matt look at them with loving smirks.

Davis says, “Well, what’s not cool is that Jun and I are still Juranian, but we’re related to the asshole head of MBI.”

Rika tells Davis, with a smirk, “Don’t you mean FORMER head? Thanks to your mom’s training, you and Jun took him downtown.”

Ryoutarou says, with a grin, “Guess he didn’t expect his own kids to take him down.”

Jun says, with a smirk, “Actually, he felt that we were going to try something just not the way that we took him down, but good.”

Flashback; Late March 2026, Tokyo, MBI headquarters

Minaka Hiroto, the head of MBI, is chained down to the floor and he has an enraged look as a column of light surrounds him with Davis, in his Light Hawk form, Jun, her pink-red hair flowing down to the end of her waist behind her back and wearing a pink and golden version of Serena’s ‘dress’ as Princess Serenity, and Sailor Sun in which all of them have their hands on Sailor Sun’s crystal.

Minaka roars out, strongly, “You can’t do this to me! I AM THE GAME MASTER! I AM YOUR FATHER!!!”

Davis says, “Dude, does the words ‘Star Wars copyright’ mean anything to you? But then again, you are so nuts, I doubt that you care!”

Jun shout out, “You aren’t our dad, Minaka! You are just the sperm donor! Our dad is the one that my brother and I grew up with!”

Sailor Sun yells out, strongly, “It’s over, Minaka!”

Minaka looks at Davis’ and Jun’s mother and he yells out, “You can’t let them do this to me! Stop them!”

Mrs. Motomiya responds, shaking her head, “I’m sorry, Minaka, but it is over.”

Davis shouts out, “You should have known NOT to play Kami, jerk! You should have remembered what we did to Kayaba! Goodbye and good riddance!” Davis, Jun, and Sailor Sun fire a powerful beam from Imperium Solaris Crystal that slams into Minaka and he screams out as the chains are broken, but he is sent flying into the sky.

Minaka howls out, shocked and horrified, “NO! THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING TO ME! THIS WASN’T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN…!!!” Minaka then howls out as he seemly vanishes into nothingness in which the column of light fades away.

End Flashback; Return to the Present

Back in the present day, Kotone asks, “What did you do him?”

Davis says, with a grin, “Oh, just send him into a ‘void dimension’ where he doesn’t need to eat, sleep, or do anything to live in which he will never age. However, it is just black as a black screen and no one will hear him scream not even himself.”

There are plenty of the others that flinch from that and Andrew says, nervously, “Bro, you are scaring me.”

Jun says, plainly, “He deserves it playing with the Sekirei’s lives like that.”

Kari says, “Well, they, now, have new lives on Whirlpool.”

Kazuto says, “Other than those that remained behind like Uzume.”

Keiko asks Kari, “Where is Uzume?”
Kari says, with a smile, “Uzume may be my Sekirei ‘partner’, but she isn’t my slave. She has her own life to live especially now with that jerk that wanted to ‘play Kami’ is gone for good.”

Ken says, with a smile, “Most of the Sekirei have their own lives in Whirlpool now.”

Naruto says, “Miya-chan can feel relief since they are safe.”

TK says, with a grin, “Those that aren’t in Whirlpool are here because they really ‘bonded’ with their ‘chosen ones’.”

Rika says, looking at Ryoutarou, “Speaking of whom, your two new ‘thunder crackers’ may not like it that you aren’t calling them.”

Ryoutarou says, “Ha! I’m my own guy! I wear the pants in the house!”

Just then a female voice yells out, sternly, “Oh, really?!” Ryoutarou then yelps as he trips and falls to the ground backwards in which the two of them look to the source of the voice to see two women coming into the room.

Both woman is exactly identical to each other with both of them being young women that have long black hair that the two of them wear in two ponytails and hazel eyes in which one young woman is wearing violet outfit while the other is wearing a pink-purple outfit.

Ryoutarou say, nervously, “Hey, Hibiki. Hikari.”

The young woman wearing violet says, “Don’t ‘hey’ us, you goof!”

The other twin, the one wearing pink-purple outfit, says, “Hikari, lay off. You know how our Ashikabi is with these people. He has been through hell and back with them because of SAO.”

The young woman in violet says, “Yeah. Yeah. I know, Hibiki.”

Davis says, “Hey, Hibiki. How are you and your sister doing? It seems you are okay.”

Hibiki, the young lady in pink-purple, says, plainly, “Just fine.”

Hikari, the young woman in the violet outfit, says, plainly, “We would be better if that baka learns when to use a phone.”

Ryoutarou goes up to Hikari and Hibiki and he says, “Come on, girls, you know you love me.” Ryoutarou wraps his arms around them and Hikari zaps him with violet lightning causing him to yelp in pain.

Andrew says, plainly, “Ouch.”

Mimi says, “Tough love.”

Sakura says, with a nod, “Really tough.”

Rika says, nodding her head, “SUPER tough.”

Kazuto asks Ryoutarou, “You okay?”

Ryoutarou replies, weakly as he stands on his feet, “Peachy, bro.”

Andrew asks, changing the subject, “By the way, what happened to that big brute?”

Ken says, “A government organization wanted to take Ragnarok’s remains, but we…protested greatly.”

Cody says, a bit nervously, “Let’s just say that it didn’t end when certain members of our group got mad.”

Rika says, with a grin, “Big time.”

Andrew says, nervously, “Okay…”

Hibiki asks, “So, what did you go with that big freak?”

Amara replies, plainly, “Threw his corpse into a black hole.”

There are a few looks of shock and Hikari asks, “Seriously?!”

Shion says, with a plain tone, “We weren’t going to take a chance of anyone finding Ragnarok and creating another one. You know there are quite a few organizations with cloning. We wouldn’t risk the creation of another ‘titan’ like that.”

Ryoutarou says, with a plain tone, “Don’t blame you.”

Darien says, “Ragnarok is gone forever. Suguha destroyed his head completely and utterly in the conclusion of their fight and we destroyed the remains by sending them down a black hole. Nothing can survive a black hole.”

Kazuto thinks in his mind, “We can only hope, Darien. I know that I shouldn’t worry since Darien is right, but I have a nagging feeling.” However, deep down, he isn’t the only one with a ‘nagging feeling’ about the creature that ‘killed’ his younger adoptive sister. Said sister and her ‘royal sister’, our Moon Senshi and Princess, also have a ‘nagging feeling’ about Ragnarok.

Lita says, “There still are a few other ‘loose ends’ out there.”

Hibiki asks, “Like what?”

Sakura says, with a plain tone, “Like Sasuke for one thing.”

Hinata says, “Ever since we last saw him when Karin left him because she didn’t want to fight fellow Uzumaki, he hasn’t been seen since. Not even during the Fourth Great Ninja War.”

Naruto says, “Yeah, it was weird. With all that chaos, you think that the Teme would try something. I don’t like it.”

Mina says, “Maybe he…”

Sakura tells Mina, interrupting, “Sasuke isn’t one for giving up, Mina.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Believe it. He is just that stubborn.”

TK tells Mina, “I’ve got to agree, Mina-chan. Sasuke Uchiha isn’t a person to give up.”

Mina asks, “Can you blame a girl hoping that the guy found a ‘better path’ and decided to live a life of peace?”

Naruto says, “Without the lesson getting knocked into his head first? I don’t think so.”

Amara says, “I agree with Sakura and Naruto. He is up to something. And last time that I checked, he still has the Omega Force powers that he somehow acquired.”

Shion say, “Making him very dangerous.”
Ryoutarou asks, “Anything else?”

Suguha says, with a solemn tone, “Yuuko.”

Mina asks, surprised, “Hold on a minute? Did you bust her up when you busted the Dark Broach?”

Suguha says, “We may have destroyed that clone body of hers, but remember she absorbed all of the ‘dark power’ that gave Ermac his form when we defeated Ermac for good. Yuuko’s spirit became pure energy and she can create new bodies for herself like she created a clone body of mine for her to use. I may have gotten back my powers that she used, but I know that she is still alive. By taking my energies to pretend to be me, she created some kind of ‘psychic link’ with me. I know she is still around.”

Yolei says, annoyed, “Wonderful.”

Davis tells Yolei, “When is it THAT easy Yolei?”

Yolei says, with a nod, “I can’t believe it, but I agree Davis.”

Trista says, “There is also the fact that we still have much to ‘clean up’ after Ragnarok still. The blood that you shed has transformed into various ‘power gems’ and crystals which isn’t surprising since you and Serena had diverted all of your energies into enhancing your physical abilities to battle Ragnarok. It is the reason why I couldn’t sense your star seed still within your body despite your body losing all of its life energy.”

Suguha says, “Don’t blame you, Trista. I am the Sailor Scout of Reality after all. But then again, even if you knew, it wouldn’t have helped. I was truly dead. My body was no longer ‘working’ and I had no life-energy. It was because of my remaining energies in my body and the fact that my star seed was still with my body, the chemicals in that ‘healing chamber’ could mix with my powers and restore my body allowing my star seed to reconnect to my body after I had gotten myself out of ‘limbo’ or whatever that was. Don’t really remember it. Like Ami said, it was a freaking miracle that I’m back.”

Serena says, with a warm smile, “A miracle that we are grateful every day.” Suguha smiles warmly at Kazuto and Serena in which Naruto gently pats Suguha on the back.

Trista says, “It is wonderful that our younger Moon Princess has indeed returned from the Great Beyond, but we are still dealing with the ramifications of the battle as we have all seen. All of us should realize that she is vital to the balance of our universe and the multiverse itself.”

Amara asks, “Remember how things got worse after Ragnarok and before Suguha regained her powers?”

Tai says, plainly, “Nasty.”

Ami says, “Much like…”

Ami’s eyes widen, and Trista says, nodding her head, “Like when Serena was first trapped in SAO.” There are plenty of shocked looks and Trista says, “The balance of light and dark as well as good and evil were disrupted since Sailor Moon couldn’t help the ‘outside world’ since she was trapped on Sword Art Online. When Suguha died in the battle with Ragnarok, the balance was GREATLY disrupted equal if not more so than when Serena was first trapped in SAO. She is the Sailor Scout of Reality and one of the most powerful Sailor Scouts in our universe as well as powerful force in the multiverse. Her ‘demise’ disrupted the balance because a powerful force of good was ‘destroyed’.”

Kazuto says, plainly, “Sugu.”

Trista responds, nodding her head, “Correct, Kazuto. Ever since the day of her complete awakening in SAO, Suguha had become a ‘player’ in immortal battle to maintain the balance of light and darkness, good and evil, order and chaos, and so on. Her ‘demise’ sent the balance into anarchy as we have seen the results. While her return has ‘repaired’ much of the balance, but the balance hasn’t completely returned to ‘normal’. Complete restoration of the balance is going to make more work.”

Lita says, “Something tells me that we had better work getting our Valkyrie partners and getting our complete Ark Valkyrie Sailor Scouts powers and soon.”

Michelle says, with a nod, “I have to agree, Lita-chan.”

Shion says, nodding her head, “Same here.”

Davis asks, sarcastically, “And you fear the worst is yet to come, right?”

Trista nods her head and Matt says, annoyed, “Just great.”

Serena thinks in her mind, solemnly, “And we’re starting to get back to our lives despite Suguha’s and my identities as Sailor Celestial and Sailor Moon being public as well as Suguha’s ‘death’ and return after that horrid battle with Ragnarok two months ago as well as the chaos with Suguha’s four ‘doppelgangers’.”

Hibiki asks, “By the way, what about those other ‘doppelganger’ other than that ‘robot version’ of her?”

Suguha tells Hibiki, with a sigh, “Yuuko wasn’t a robot. Yuuko created a clone body of me with my DNA that she infused with Borg nano-probes turning herself into a ‘cyborg me’ of some kind or whatever. Elysium is gone. She gave her life to restore my powers. The one with the ‘Iron Man’ or ‘Iron Woman’ suit, which used a power crystal created from the blood I shed in the battle with Ragnarok, is actually one of the people that I once ‘terrorized’ when I was under the control of the Orichalcos.”

Kazuto says, “In fact, she is the one that we saw in that flashback in Castle Oblivion, wasn’t she? The one that you confronted.”

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yep. Needless to say, I was shocked.”

Ryoutarou asks, “What about the other one? Sailor C?”

Kazuto says, “It turns out that she is a clone of Sugu. Her powers also came from ‘power gems’ and crystals that came from Sugu, but unlike Sugu’s ‘armored counterpart’, Sailor C was more closely linked to Sugu, so, it is the reason why she had Sailor Senshi style powers.”

Kotone asks, “Sailor C is a clone of Sugu, but she isn’t Sugu, so, how can she have powers like Sugu?”

Suguha says, “Whoever created her from my DNA made sure that she was a lot like me not only physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. That’s why Sailor C could link with my energies so well unlike Elysium, who created a body based on mine and created a ‘link’ with me to harness my powers and keep them from Yuuko, who was using the Dark Broach to access my energies through the ‘remnants’ of energy that I lost battling that behemoth.”

Trista says, with a smile, “She may have had her faults, but Sailor C is one of us in mind, heart, and soul.”

Ryoutarou asks, “So, what happened to her?”

Kazuto says, with a smile, “Well, I have TWO sisters instead of one.”

Suguha says, “We adopted Sailor C as part of our family. I mean, come on, she is my clone after all.”

Andrew asks, “Does she have a name of her own?”

Suguha says, “No duh. Her name is Stella Kirigaya and she is my younger twin sister now. Remember, whoever made sure that she was ‘born’ from my DNA didn’t just ‘grow’ her to my current age. They had put her in a pocket dimension where seventeen years passed for her where she learned to be…basically her trying to be me.”

Asuna says, with a smile, “I think that it is great, Kirito-kun.”

Kazuto says, with a nervous smile, “Yeah, now, I can have two of Sugu to gang up on me.”

Suguha says, with a grin, “Sucks to be you, big brother.”

Kazuto responds, with a glare, “Thanks a lot.” Plenty of the others giggle at Kazuto’s ‘embarrassment’ and our group can’t help to enjoy this peaceful moment despite knowing that it will most likely not last.

Early June 2026

Suguha’s POV

It always starts out like this. I’m in ALO as Leafa and we are flying through the skies in which it is wonderful. The wind in my face and blue skies and clouds. I always love this feeling flying through the skies of ALO. I can fly in the real world as Sailor Celestial, but those wings aren’t for fun and enjoyment. They have a freaking purpose in helping me protect people. As Leafa, my wings are my own. Anyway, I am flying through the skies of ALO with my friends and family. It was just a simple quest in Woglinde. Just beat a simple quest boss monster and retrieve the special quest item. We arrive at the entrance to a dungeon, but it was different from any dungeon that I have been in ALO. There’s a ‘ominous aura’ about it. Something that made it ‘different’.

“It’s scary.” Silica says.

“It’s okay, Silica. It is another dungeon.” I say.

“We should be careful. It might some kind of a special quest dungeon.” Big Brother, Kirito, says.

“You mean like a special dungeon made for the quest?” Asuna, big brother’s girlfriend, asks.
“Most likely, Asuna.” Kirito replies while nodding his head.

“Come on, big brother! It isn’t like we haven’t been through dungeons like that before!” I say in which I draw my sword in which I head inside.

“Hey, wait! Sugu!” Big Brother shouts to me, but I was really confident. As I entered, I would find out that I should have listened to him. As I go in there, there is a ‘cold chill’ in the air and I was about to ask about it, but something felt wrong…off. I look behind me to see that everyone else had vanishes and I call out for them, but there is no answer. However, there is a roar. An unearthly roar. The roar of a monster…No, not a monster. No monster…not even a boss could give off the ominous ‘evil chill’ that this guy could. Then I notice that I’m not in a dungeon anymore. I’m in a city. A ‘real world’ city in which they are tall skyscraper buildings with busted windows, destroyed cars and trucks, cracked roadways and sidewalks, and multiple files like in a disaster zone after a major earthquake. And then I notice that I’m not Leafa anymore. I’m in my armor…My Valkyrie armor. I’m Valkyrie Sailor Celestial now. Then I hear it. And I turn. And I see HIM.

He looks a lot like that ‘New 52’ version of the monster that killed Superman-dono in the American DC manga, but even more nightmarish if that was possible. His skin is obsidian black, his eyes are a wicked jade green, and his teeth are more like Kisame’s teeth, shark-like and ready to rip flesh from other living beings and swallow it whole. The fiend. The nightmare. My ‘Doomsday’…Ragnarok!

Then I realize where I am…I’m back in Tokyo on that day. That day. Ragnarok immediately charges in for the attack and I quickly respond in which when our fists collide, they create a massive shockwave that causes so much damage to the buildings nearby that several of the most damaged crumble into dust immediately. As I fight this behemoth, this beast of pure destruction, I can feel him shredding my armor, tearing into my skin, breaking my bones, and beating into my body. I know what’s coming, but I can’t stop! I can’t stop! He has already greatly injured most of the Scouts and even the most powerful of the Mega Digimon like Omnimon and Imperialdramon were tossed aside like rag dolls. It was a miracle that they weren’t deleted! Even with his enhanced powers, Tuxedo Mask is no match for this freak and he is doing everything he can to keep innocent people away from this fiend’s rampage! Only sis and I are left to stop this ‘living killing machine’, but Sailor Moon is temporary stunned, and I have to hold the line. Our special attacks are worthless against this…this ‘thing’ and in fact, it only makes him stronger…even my power which is the worst! The only chance to win is beating the crap out of this guy, but he is giving as good as he is getting if not better! I know what’s going to happen. I know how this will end, but if I don’t…I don’t stop him here and now, everyone and everything that I know and love will die! This fiend will keep destroying and kill until it turns our world into a lifeless husk! I can’t let that happen! I won’t let that happen!

The pain is immense…close to unbearable. Not even my duel with Kayaba in the Ruby Palace in SAO fucking hurt! It shouldn’t be that way since I’m in my real flesh and blood body and I have chemicals in my body to dull the pain, but then again, in VR, I don’t have bones to break and here, I do! However, I fight through the pain knowing that I’m the last line! My brother…my family…the whole city and possibly the world is counting on me! I won’t…I CAN’T let them down! Even I know what’s going to happen, I will stop this butt ugly ‘murder machine’ for good! Sis…big brother…everyone…I’m sorry.

Ragnarok gives an unearthly roar as sparks rage from his body rapidly and I know that this is it. The two of us charge at each other, preparing our final blows, and we swing, but before we strike each other’s death blows…I wake up with a gasp in my bed.

I sit up in my bed in a cold sweat and breathing heavily. How many nights has it been now? I look around hastily in which I find myself in my room. My in-game picture of Leafa, my ALO, flying through the blue skies and surrounded by white birds on the ceiling. I leap out of bed and leave my room in which I run down the stairs into the kitchen in which I turn on the light causing me to go over to the sink and splash water on my face. That nightmare again. Why in the fuck does that freak haunt me so much? He’s gone and I’m…back. That freak’s corpse was sent into a black hole by the others shortly after the battle. What in Kami’s name is up with this nightmare?

Just then a familiar voice calls out, “Sugu?” I turn to face the voice to see my big brother, Kazuto, and my mother looking at me with concern.

“Sorry. Did I wake you?” I ask.
“With all of the thumping, I’m surprising that you didn’t wake the neighbors.” Kazuto replies in which I give him an annoyed look.

“What’s wrong, sweetie?” Mom asks me.

“Just a nightmare.” I reply.

“A nightmare that gets you to leap out of bed and splash water on your face?” Kazuto says with a concerned look. “Mom told me that the only time that you ran down here from a nightmare was during the early days of when I was trapped in SAO.” Ugh! Big brother could read me like a book…Even more so than ever. “It was HIM again, wasn’t it?” Kazuto asks, concerned. I can only weakly nod in which my mother gives a confused look before gasping at what or should I say, WHO, big brother was talking about.

“Several times this month. I don’t freaking get why I have this nightmare about him. He’s gone! You said it yourself! I took him down!” I say, annoyed at this whole headache.

“Yeah, you did. You left a major hole in his chest and basically smashed his head in. No life-signs were found. He’s gone.” Kazuto tells me. “Afterwards, we sent that fiend’s remains into a black hole, so, there is no coming back.” Yeah, I heard that time and time again. Then why does that beast haunt me so much? Is it because…?

“What’s up with the noise?” A voice similar my own is heard and we look to see Stella, my clone who was known as Sailor C, coming out in T-shirt and underwear causing Kazuto to avert his eyes.

“Your sister had a nightmare.” Mom tells Stella.

“Must have been some nightmare.” Stella retorts and she then says, “Knowing her and boy, do I know her, it would have to be really something.” And that’s the disadvantage of having a ‘clone sister’. Just like a nosy big brother, they know you all too well.

“I’ll be okay, Stella. These freaky dreams are just getting annoying.” I tell her.

“Sorry to sound rude or anything, sis, but what do you need to worry about?” Stella asks. Boy, with what Kazuto and I heard back with the gang, you wouldn’t ask that.

End Suguha’s POV

Early June 2026 (Earth time), Unknown world

Within what looks like a high-tech futuristic laugh, there is an image of a strange crystal as a sinister figure looks at it.

“Woo hoo!” a high pictured male voice says with a sinister tone.

A metallic female voice says, plainly, “You seem excited. You must realize the potential that this has.”

The high male voice says, excitedly, “Yes! Yes, I do! I never could have dreamed that there was a power even greater than the Chaos Emeralds! With this combined with the Chaos Emeralds, I can completely rewrite all of reality and more!”

The metallic female voice says, “You remember our deal? You will get what you want when I get what I want.”

The high male voice responds, “Yes! Yes! Of course!”

The metallic female voice says, “You are quite…trusting of me.”

The high male voice replies, “Revenge is something that I can trust, my dear. Ooh hoo!”

End Chapter 1

Well, here is the first chapter, everyone. I know that it has been a month since the prologue, but I hope that this chapter was worth the wait. This first arc is going to be longer than other story arcs that I have done for other stories, so, I’m going to need to do something different as well as ‘real-life’ events that are happening, I won’t be writing up the whole arc and dumping a chapter each day when the whole story arc is completed. It would take too long and you might get…you know. So, I’m going to take this slowly and there might be a few chapters each month. We’re going to have to see, everyone. It is a complex time at the start of this new year. As you know, if you have read World’s Song, I left ‘situations’ open for this and other future stories. However, while I enjoyed writing that story, I did feel that there is more to be desired and I lost some of the ‘essence’ of the Sword Art Online part of the crossovers, which I hope to regain in this story, especially in the later arcs of the story. So, I decided to ‘clean house’ and there will be ‘flashbacks’ to give more details to what happened in-between World’s Song and this story to better fill in the gaps. I wanted to start ‘fresh’ and I hope that it is a good job so far. Please read and review and please no flames! Also, if you don’t like this story, then don’t read it any further. Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
