Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online the Movie: Alternating Scales ❯ Settling into the Game ( Chapter 3 )

As we start this chapter, all we know is that we have alternate versions of Sammy Tsukino and Suguha Kirigaya/Sailor Celestial from two alternate Earths where one has lost all of HER memories and ended up in a world with magic powers and dragons along with oppression and powerful man with a god complex *cough*. And the other comes from a world where an evil organization has taken over and killed Sailor Moon and the Sailor Scouts *shocker*! Now, our heroes and heroines have to deal with two enemies from two different alternate worlds and universes in which one of them has made ‘staple’ and maybe attempting to ‘repeat’, in a way, SAO itself. Boy, what an adventure, huh? Anyway, before I start, I would like to give thanks and credit to Belletigerand Kanius and Kanius’ YuYuGiDigiMoon series, especially this author’s The Invasion of the Rajita story, for giving me permission to use the idea of Valkyrie Sailor Soldiers and everything that’s a part of them. However, most of all, I would like to give thanks and credit to Matty G91 and this author’s story of Kamen Rider Lunar for giving me permission to use Kamen Rider Lunar, his looks, and everything about him as well as the organization UNI-SHOCKER and everything about them, but most of all, I would like to give this author EXTRA thanks and credit for being the inspiration for this story and helping me form it as a co-writer and beta in the first place.

Sailor Moon Online the Movie: Alternating Scales

 

Scene 3: Settling into the Game

 

April 20, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District

 

Within the Odiaba District, Serena, Ami, Raye, Mina, Lita, Amara, Michelle, Hotaru, Trista, Darien, Suguha, Shion, Tusk, Vivian, Ange, [Suguha], and [Sammy] have just joined up with the Digidestined and their Digimon partners after Suguha defeated Kaiou in a duel and fought another legion of forces from UNI-SHOCKER in which after the fighting is over, they found that Kaiou’s unconscious form just vanished!

 

Mina says, confused, “I still don’t get how he did his ‘trick’.”

 

Amara tells Mina, “Someone else did it for him.”

 

Shion says, looking at Suguha and Serena, “I still don’t how they were able to get by even the two of you.”

 

Suguha says, “That’s what’s scares me, Shion.”

 

Davis asks, pointing to [Suguha] and [Sammy], “Let’s get back to the issue of your ‘twin’ and the twin of Moon girl’s little brother. So, they are ‘other versions’ of them?”

 

Ami says, with a nod, “From two different times. The ‘other Sammy’ comes from a timeline where UNI-SHOCKER…destroyed his version of us, the Sailor Scouts, including…his sister. And ‘other Suguha’ has been transported into another Earth where people have a power known as the ‘Light of Mana’ that seems allow them to have a utopia…on the surface.”

 

Amara says, “Which proves to be a hypocrisy where those that can’t use that ‘Mana power’ are shunned, oppressed, and basically enslaved to fight so-called dragon which proved to be descendants of genetically modified humans like this young girl here.”

 

Amara motions to Vivian and Mimi says, looking at her, “She doesn’t look any different from us.”

 

Lita says, “You wouldn’t say that if she turned into her ‘dragon form’, but let’s not cause a panic in the streets.”

 

Vivian asks, “Pop quiz: Why would that happen when you have monsters all over the place?”

 

Plenty of our heroes and heroines get nervous and Hotaru says, a bit nervously, “Well, Vivian-san, they are used to Digimon and other ‘monsters’ by this time…”

 

Lita says, with a grin, “Since we always kick their butts!”

 

Tai says, “Our home has been through a ton of ‘shocks’ as of late and they couldn’t exactly handle another one.”

 

Matt says, pointing to Vivian, “Let’s make sure that she doesn’t turn into a dragon. We have a few enemies that would love to get their hands on her and use her to find out the secrets of her transformation and then some.”

 

Ange says, strongly, “Over my dead body!”

 

[Suguha] asks, nervously, “Did you have to put it that way, Ange?”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah. That’s a signal to them that says: ‘Kill me now’.”

 

Ange responds, with a shrug, “Like I care, I’m used to ‘death sentences’ by now. However, they will know that I won’t go down without a fight and take quite a few of them with me.”

 

Yolei says, with a groan, “Something tells me that this is going to be a long day.”

 

Ken says, with a smile, “Just another day in our lives.”

 

TK says, with a grin, “No kidding.”

 

Tusk asks, “Is this thing ‘normal’ for you?”

 

Tai responds, “Define: ‘Normal’.”

 

Tusk gives a look of surprise and TK says, with a smile, “Nice, Tai.”

 

Darien says, “However, it is a good idea for Vivian to remain in human form as much as possible.”

 

Mina says, “Yeah. ‘Dragons’ aren’t a ‘regular’ thing despite us having ‘monsters’ all around.”

 

Vivian says, with a nod, “No problem!”

 

Ami says, “I don’t think that will be a problem for Vivian-san. Thanks to the ‘adjustments’, her ability to remain in human form won’t need special ‘chemicals’ or ‘medicines’. All it is needed is her willingness to remain in human form.”

 

Tai looks at Suguha and he says, “Anyway, it seems Suguha has done it again.”

 

Suguha says, annoyed, “Hey…!!”

 

Matt responds, plainly, “Sword Art World.”

 

Davis, Kari, and Suguha get a slight ‘flinch’ on that and Suguha and Davis ask in unison, “You are never going to let that go, huh?”

 

TK says, with a grin, “Not likely, Davis.”

 

Davis gives a growl of annoyance and Izzy says, looking at his laptop, “Based on the data gathered, I think that there is enough to cast suspicion on them.”

 

Yolei says, annoyed, “Just great. Another nutjob that wants to use technology that could revolutionize the world for their own sick ends.”

 

Serena gives a sigh and Tai says, glaring at Yolei and pointing to Serena, “Yolei.”

 

Yolei then realizes what her words ‘implied’ and she responds, nervously, “Oops!”

 

Serena says, with a weak smile, “It’s okay, Yolei.”

 

Raye tells Serena, annoyed, “Not that again, Meatball Head.”

 

Suguha asks, “Where are the others?”

 

Davis says, “Back at our old school where Yolei, Cody, and I started our adventures as Digidestined, your brother had arrived when you made your call.”

 

Amara says, “Let’s go.”

 

Serena asks, “What about Rini and Molly?”

 

Suguha says, “Molly is still working on the investigation. I gave her a call to tell her that I told you.”

 

Darien says, “I called your home and your parents said that Rini was ‘out’.”

 

Serena says, with a groan, “I hope that squirt hasn’t got herself into trouble.”

 

Mina says, with a smile, “I’m sure that she is fine.”

 

Lita tells Mina, nervously, “Um, Mina-chan, we are talking about…”

 

Mina says, nervously, “Oh, yeah.”

 

Serena asks, with a glare, “And what’s that supposed to mean?” Mina and Lita laugh nervously while Amara and others shake their heads in disapproval.

 

Darien says, changing the subject, “Anyway, let’s get to the others.”

 

Davis says, with a nod, “Good idea.” Our group heads off to join with none other than Serena’s friends and comrades from SAO in order to discuss the situation and figure out what to do.

 

April 20, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Heading into UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, we find Embryo where he has been joined by five females dressed in similar uniforms.

 

The first female looks to be 17 years of age with long dark violet hair in two pigtails and brown eyes.

 

The second female looks to be 18 years of age with long pink hair and green eyes.

 

The third female looks to be 16 years of age with light blue hair tied in a pigtail going down the right side of her face/head with her hair also covering her left eye in which her only exposed eye, her right eye, is revealed to be pink in color.

 

The fourth female looks to be 17-18 years of age with short bright violet hair and yellow eyes.

 

The fifth and final female looks to be with shoulder length orange hair with similar length bangs and blue eyes.

 

All five females are wearing blue and black uniform with matching belts holding a pistol and black high-heeled boots that goes half-way to their thighs.

 

Embryo tells the UNI-SHOCKER executive, “My friend, these are my loyal knights…Diamond Rose Knights to be more precise.”

 

The executive responds, “Diamond Rose Knights? A very…colorful name.”

 

The dark violet haired young lady, looking to be the leader, has a twitch of her eyelash and Embryo says, with a smile, “Yes, indeed. Now, all me to introduce them.” Embryo says, pointing to the dark violet haired lady, “This is their lovely leader, Salia. The bountiful beauty with pink hair is Ersha. The shy yet strong blue haired beauty is Chris. The other violet haired beauty is Tanya. And last, but not least, there is lovely Irma.”

 

The five ladies gain a slight hue on their cheeks and the executive says, “Welcome to Earth…Or should I say, the Earth of this universe.”

 

The blue haired young teen girl, Chris, says, “I can’t believe that we are on another Earth.”

 

Embryo says, “I am not surprised that you are so shocked. However, you must understand that there is more to everything than just the universe. The universe that you, my dear knights, come from is just a drop in the vast multi…No, OMNI-verse that makes up existence.”

 

The executive says, with a nod, “Too true, Embryo-dono. Too true.”

 

The orange hair young lady asks, “Master Embryo, why are we here?”

 

Embryo asks the executive, “My friend?”

 

The executive says, pushing a button on a remote, “Of course.” Just then a holographic screen appears showing the battle in the back alleyways of Tokyo involving Ange, Tusk, Vivian, and [Suguha] appears and the five ladies gasp when they see him.

 

The dark violet twin-tailed young lady, Salia, says, “Ange! And Suguha!”

 

Embryo says, “Indeed, my darling Salia. Villkiss and Valkyrie transported them here.” The five females are surprised, and Embryo asks, “Why do you seem so surprised? You know the power of Ragna-Mails for yourselves, do you not?” Embryo says, “However, there is more to this then them…much more.”

 

Ersha asks, curiously, “What do you mean Master Embryo?”

 

The executive says, “I believe that I shall explain.” When the five young ladies look at the executive, he says, “There is more to your former comrade, Suguha, than you know.”

 

Salia asks, “What do you mean? What do you know about Suguha?”

 

The executive says, pushing a button again, “I believe that this might explain quite well.” Another holographic screen appears, and it displays images of the ‘battle’ between Suguha and Kaiou which focuses on our heroes and heroines causing the five young ladies to gasp in shock when they see Suguha and [Suguha] together.

 

Ersha asks, confused, “Am I seeing things?”

 

Embryo says, “No, my dear. It is exactly what you are seeing. There are TWO Suguhas.”

 

The bright violet haired young woman, Tanya, asks, shocked, “TWO Suguhas?!”

 

Irma, the orange haired young lady, says, shocked, “That can’t be possible.”

 

Embryo tells Irma, “My darling Irma, didn’t I explain we are just a ‘drop’ in the vast Omniverse of worlds? When it comes to existence, very little is impossible. You see, these two are different versions of the same person.” Embryo then quickly explains about the concepts of alternate timelines and whatnot.

 

When he is done, Salia asks, “Master Embryo, are you saying that ‘other Suguha’ is another version of the Suguha that we know?”

 

Embryo responds, “Exactly, my dear. In fact, she is the Suguha native to this Earth.”

 

The executive then says, bringing a life-sized holographic image of Suguha, “Suguha Kirigaya to be more precise. Sixteen to seventeen years of age, daughter of Midori and Minetaka Kirigaya, and one of the top kendo players around. She is quite a talented young lady. However, this is just the tip of the iceberg.” The executive then points to the screen to the scenes of what happened when Ange, [Suguha], and their two friends, Vivian and Tusk, arrived in this world and shows the Sailor Scouts, especially Sailor Celestial and Sailor Moon, joining in. The executive says, pointing to Sailor Celestial, “I believe she will be of interest to you.”

 

Salia asks, curiously, “How so?”

 

The executive responds, “This is why.” The executive pushes a button and another holographic screen shows Suguha’s transformation into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and he says, “It was really hard to get such footage you know.”

 

Irma asks, shocked, “What the?!”

 

The executive says in responds, “This is Suguha Kirigaya’s ‘other self’. In this ‘form’, she is known as Sailor Celestial. She belongs to a group of real-life magical girls…superheroines known as the Sailor Scouts. Technically, their ‘real title’ is Sailor SENSHI. In the language of this nation, Japan, ‘Senshi’ means ‘Soldier’ or ‘Warrior’. That’s what they are in a nut shell. These young ladies are the super-powered guardian protectors of this Earth.”

 

Tanya says, surprised, “No way!”

 

Embryo tells Tanya, “I can assure you, my dear Tanya, what he says is true.”

 

The five young ladies look at Embryo and Salia says, with a nod, “If you say so, Master Embryo. We have no reason to doubt you at all.”

 

The other ladies nod their heads in agreement and Embryo says, “I am honored and touched by your trust and loyalty, Salia. However, you need to believe in their words since what I need to do will bring us into conflict with them. Ange, our Suguha, Vivian, and the young Ancient Human, Tusk, have been found by Suguha’s ‘counterpart’ and her allies and they are under their care along with Villkiss and Valkyrie. As you know, I need them for what I have planned…Or should I say, what was my ORIGINAL plan, but it has undergone a few ‘revisions’.”

 

Chris asks, curiously, “Revisions, Master Embryo?”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, my sweet Chris. It is something that came about when I learned the full truth about our dear Suguha.” Embryo tells the executive, “Please continue to explain.”

 

The executive responds, “Of course.” The executives push another button on his remote and an image of the Moon Kingdom around the time of the end of the Silver Millennium with images of Queen Serenity, Princess Serenity, Princess Selene, and others and he says, “In order to understand Suguha Kirigaya and the Sailor Scouts, you must understand their origins. And this time starts over one thousand years ago at time known as the Silver Millennium…” Soon after, the executive tells about the Silver Millennium, the Silver Alliance, especially the Moon Kingdom, Queen Serenity, her two daughters, Princess Serenity and Princess Selene Serenity, Serena’s and Suguha’s ‘past selves’, and tragedies that ended the Silver Millennium with how it is connected to the Sailor Scouts today.

 

When he is done, Salia yells out, shocked, “Hold on! Are you saying that these girls are reincarnated alien princesses?!”

 

The executive responds, with a nod, “Correct, Salia-san. With Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial the reincarnations of the Moon Queen’s two daughters, Princess Serenity and Princess Selene Serenity. While Princess Serenity is the heiress to the throne, Princess Selene was chosen as Sailor Scout of Reality, Sailor Celestial, one of the most powerful Sailor Senshi in all of the universe for obvious reasons. She was born and bred to be a warrior of the upmost caliber and as you saw from the video of that battle, she shows it.”

 

Chris says, shocked, “I can’t believe it…”

 

Ersha asks, figuring something out, “Hold on! If this Earth’s Suguha is similar to our Suguha, could that mean…?”

 

Embryo responds, with a nod, “Correct, my dear Ersha. Our Suguha isn’t native to our universe and our Earth. She came from an Earth similar to this one and she is exactly like this Earth’s Suguha in which her true name is Suguha Kirigaya, reincarnation of Princess Selene Serenity of the Moon Kingdom.” There are gasps from the five young ladies and Embryo asks, “I can’t understand why you find this hard to believe, but think about this: Hasn’t Suguha been ‘different’ from the Norma of Arzenal?”

 

Chris says, thinking hard, “Yes…She is strong…physically stronger than any Norma or human.”

 

Salia says, thinking hard, “And she healed a lot faster than any of us.”

 

The executive tells them, “Traces of her Sailor Senshi abilities. You see, all of the Sailor Scouts have different ‘elements’ that they wield like Sailor Mercury is the Sailor Scout of Ice and Wisdom or Sailor Jupiter is the Sailor Scout of Thunder, Lightning, and Wood. However, in their ‘general abilities’, this powers also enhance their physical abilities including strength, speed, agility, and everything in-between as well as help them heal faster than others.”

 

Embryo tells the five young ladies, “And I know what you must be asking. I believe that you know the reason why she, our Suguha, never used her full power.”

 

Salia says, seriously and realizing what Embryo is implying, “Her memories! She had no memory of her powers!”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Exactly, Salia. Our Suguha never used her powers because she didn’t remember she had any. The enhanced strength and healing was more or less a ‘defense’ of her powers to help protect her.”

 

Ersha says, “Wait! If our Suguha is like the one on this Earth, it means…”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, it is the reason why the Light of Mana reacted similar to how it does with Norma. One, Suguha isn’t native to our world thus she has no Mana. And two and the main reason is her power. You see, her memories were lost, and it has left her vulnerable in which while her conscious mind had forgotten how to use her powers, her subconscious used to put up a ‘protective barrier’.”

 

Irma asks, curiously, “So, it is her powers that cause the Light of Mana to react the same way as it does to us Master Embryo?”

 

Embryo says, with a smile, “Exactly, my sweet Irma. When it was used on her, her power saw the Light of Mana as an ‘impurity’ that was trying to ‘corrupt’ Suguha and it reacted in a similar way that it would for one of you. It isn’t surprising that the Light of Mana is nothing to Suguha’s power and the power of Etherion. Comparing the Light of Mana to Etherion is like comparing a weak flashlight to our very sun itself.”

 

There are gasps and Chris asks, amazed, “Suguha is THAT powerful Master Embryo?”

 

Embryo says, “Indeed, Chris. Remember, Etherion is the embodiment of creation itself. And that’s why we need her.” Embryo goes over to the five young ladies and he says, “You know of my will to create a better world than the World of Mana, which has proven a failure, but with Suguha’s power, we won’t just build a better world…We will build the best world possible.”

 

Salia asks, “The best world possible Master Embryo?”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, Salia. Imagine it. A world where all of you dreams and desires can come true and you can be whatever you want to be. You wish for it and you can make it that way.” The five young ladies’ eyes widen, and Embryo says, “And it will be a world where the World of Mana, the world that drove you into isolation and slavery, will be a memory that will be forgotten in the brand new and far better world.”

 

Chris says, “A better world…”

 

Embryo says, “However, I need your help to make it a reality.”

 

Salia tells Embryo, “We are with you, Master Embryo.”

 

The other four females nod their heads in agreement and Embryo says, “Thank you, Salia. However, I must tell you that the task will not be easy. In fact, it will be very dangerous. You already know of Suguha’s power and the Suguha of this Earth is a well-trained warrior.”

 

The executive says, “This Earth’s Suguha Kirigaya has been a Sailor Scout for over a year, so, you can obvious believe that she has significant combat experience, but she isn’t the only one to be concerned about.” The executive pushes a button on his remote, a holographic protection of Valkyrie Sailor Moon appears, and he says, “The reincarnation of Suguha’s sister as Princess Selene: Sailor Moon AKA Serena Tsukino. She is around twenty years of age and she has been a Sailor Scout since she was fourteen years of age. At first, you wouldn’t call her ‘heroine material’, but she matured into a powerful warrior herself. She is the holder of the Imperium Silver Crystal, the ‘jewel’ of the Lunarian royal family, and one of the most powerful objects in this universe. If you want to know how powerful…It basically has the power to destroy a star and not just a newborn or dying star…A star in the prime of its life type star.”

 

The five females gasp in shock and Salia yells out, flabbergasted, “You have got to be fucking kidding me!”

 

The executive says, “I kind you not, Salia-san. The Silver Crystal rivals Suguha’s own power either her power as the Senshi of Reality or her Etherion. Also, she and Suguha are Valkyrie level Sailor Scouts.” The executive then explains about the Norse legends of the Valkyrie and about the Valkyrie Sailor Scouts leaving the five young women stunned.

 

Tanya yells out, stunned, “The power to destroy an entire solar system?!”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes. I know that it is hard to believe and trust me, I found it hard to believe too, but such power exists. These mighty warrior women aren’t to be underestimated in the least. And if our Suguha regains her memories…” The five females gain a shiver down their spines and Embryo says, “This is why we are telling you this. The odds are certainly against us and the Sailor Scouts have plenty of allies on their side to assist them. That’s why I have allied myself with these people. They will give us the needed assistance that we need to fulfill our goals.”

 

Salia asks Embryo, “And what have they asked in return Master Embryo?”

 

The executive says, with a sly tone, “Not much really. Let us just say that our ‘interests’ are aligned for this time.”

 

Embryo asks the five young women, “My dear knights, will you help me build the greatest world?” He looks at them and the five of them can’t help to gain a slight hue on their cheeks from his stare.

 

Chris responds, “You gave me life and you rescued me when my so-called friends left me to die. You entrusted me with the Ragna-Mail and your plan to build a world better than the one that tried to use me. I will follow wherever you may lead.”

 

Salia says, with a nod, “As do the rest of us, Master Embryo.”

 

The other three females, Ersha, Irma, and Tanya, nod their heads in agreement and Embryo says, “Thank you. You honor me with your loyalty and devotion.” Embryo says, “However, the first task is for all of you to get used to this world. In order to complete this mission, you must understand this Earth and this nation of Japan as well as your opponents.”

 

The executive says, “We have detailed reports on the Sailor Scouts ranging from their ‘secret identities’, powers, skills, abilities, tactics, and all of their allies.”

 

Salia says, with a nod, “Thank you. That will be an incredible help.”

 

The executive says, “We have developed programs where you can create simulation battles to develop plans and experience them in order to see if they could work.”

 

Ersha asks, curiously, “What do you mean by that?”

 

Embryo says, with a smile, “This world may be ‘primitive’ compared to our home world, my lovely Ersha, but they have developed technology that rivals or even exceeds our own. Trust me, you will find it very helpful and possibly enjoyable.”

 

Chris asks, curiously, “Enjoyable, Master Embryo?”

 

Embryo says, with a smile, “You will see what I mean my dear Chris.” Embryo tells Ersha, “Ersha, I believe that bringing the children to this world would to them much good.”

 

Ersha asks, amazed, “Really, Master Embryo?”

 

Embryo responds, with a nod, “Yes. Since the people in this world are more like the Norma, they will fit in just fine and I believe that they will find this world to their liking. Consider it a ‘field trip’…if you wish so.”

 

Ersha says, with a smile and nod, “Thank you, Master Embryo.”

 

Embryo says, “It is my pleasure and honor since you are handling a difficult task ahead.”

 

The executive says, “We have quarters ready for you. Please.” Soon after, a group of young woman and young men in business outfits made for their gender come in.

 

Embryo tells Salia and her ‘knights’, “Please rest up. I shall be joining you shortly.”

 

The five young women responds, “Yes, Master Embryo.” The five young women then follow the men and women that work for UNI-SHOCKER out of the room.

 

The executive says, “Quite the company that you keep.”

 

Embryo responds, “Yes, they are the ‘seeds’ that will bear ‘new fruit’ in the new world that I plan. And the children that Ersha treasure so much have become more valuable than just ensuring her loyalty.”

 

The executive asks, “How so?”

 

Embryo says, “Your genetics and those of your ‘business associate’ in MIST rival my own in comparison and they have inspired me. The children are much like a ‘blank slate’ and the various ‘kinds’ of human beings in this Earth have given me quite a few ideas. The young children are just the ‘templates’ that I need to create an even better humanity…the best humanity. They shall be beautiful, powerful, intelligent, and more. All I need is to make the right ‘adjustments’ and when they blossom into young women like Salia and the others, they shall be ready and Ersha shall be the teacher. In order to build a better humanity, you need to combine ‘nature’ and ‘nurture’. I shall provide the ‘nature’ and Ersha and the others will provide the ‘nurture’.”

 

The executive says, “With Ange-san and the Suguha Kirigaya that you know providing the coup de grace.”

 

Embryo says, with a smirk, “Exactly, my friend.”

 

April 20, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District

 

Within the former middle school where Yolei, Cody, TK, Kari, and Davis went to when Davis, Yolei, and Cody first become Digidestined, Kazuto, Asuna, Keiko, Rika, Kotone, and Ryoutarou are assembled together with Kazuto wearing an Augma with Asuna, Keiko, Rika, and Kotone, in which they are looking at Yui, in her ALO pixie form, floating all around him and the others.

 

Yui tells Kazuto, with a smile, “This is really incredible, daddy.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “It really is. It is like you are with us in the room.”

 

Asuna says, with a smile, “It is, Kirito-kun.”

 

Keiko says, with a smile, “It is really nice to see Yui-chan outside of ALO.”

 

Kotone says, “It is Keiko.”

 

Strea, who looks in her ALO player avatar, asks, with a pout, “What about me?”

 

Kotone says, with a smile, “You, too, Strea.”

 

Asuna tells Kazuto, “Anyway, what do you think Serena and the others want to talk with us about?”

 

Kazuto says, “If they had to bring out the Digidestined and their Digimon partners, I don’t think that this is casual.”

 

Ryoutarou says, “Yep.”

 

Rika says, with a nod, “No kidding.”

 

Just then Sammy comes into the room and he says, “I just saw Meatball Head and the others heading this way.”

 

Rika says, “Let’s see what kind of ‘world ending disaster’ that we have to deal with this time.”

 

Asuna says, annoyed, “Liz!”

 

Kazuto says, “While I hate to agree with Liz and insult my family and our friends, it is correct that when they are really serious, it usually isn’t a ‘good thing’.”

 

Just then a familiar female voice says, “Thanks a lot, big brother.” Everyone then looks to see Suguha entering the room with the rest of the Sailor Scouts, Darien, the Digidestined, the Digidestined’s Digimon partners, and the newcomers to this world enter the room.

 

Keiko asks, seeing [Sammy], “Who is the person that looks like Serena’s brother?” When the others look to see [Sammy], they are shocked as Kazuto, Asuna, Keiko, Rika, Kotone, and Ryoutarou look between Sammy and [Sammy].

 

Mina says, nervously, “Well, basically…Sammy Tsukino…meet your new twin.”

 

Sammy yells out, stunned, “Say what?!”

 

[Sammy] responds, “What Meatball Head’s ‘girlfriend of love’ is saying that I’m you, bro.”

 

Rika asks, shocked, “What the?!”

 

Ryoutarou says, “Dude! He sounds exactly like Sammy!”

 

Davis says, “That’s because he is ‘another Sammy Tsukino’, bro.”

 

Cody says, “He is another version of Sammy Tsukino from an alternate timeline.”

 

There are gasps and Rika asks, amazed, “Seriously?!” On the meanwhile, [Suguha] looks at Kazuto, Asuna, Keiko, Rika, and Kotone and a ‘feeling’ of recognition goes through her.

 

[Suguha] thinks in her mind, “They look…so familiar…” Just then images of Kazuto, Asuna, Keiko, Rika, and Kotone in their SAO avatars of Kirito, SAO Asuna, Silica, Lisbeth, and Philia ring through her mind causing her to hold her head in pain and starts to collapse.

 

Ange says, shocked, “Suguha!” Ange and Tusk quickly catch the falling [Suguha] and that’s when the others caught sight of her in which Ryoutarou looks between Suguha and her counterpart.

 

Rika asks, “Don’t tell me…?”

 

Suguha says, with a sigh and nod, “Yep.”

 

Lita says, with a grin, “Suguha just got a twin…so to speak.”

 

Tai says, “Kazuto, you are going to need to sit down.”

 

Matt says, with a nod, “It is a long story.”

 

Gatomon says, nodding her head, “Big time.” The SAO survivors then listened to the story of [Sammy] and of Ange, Tusk, Vivian, and [Suguha].

 

When they are done, Rika asks, “Wait! So, these two are ‘alternate versions’ of Suguha and Sammy from two different ‘alternate universes’?”

 

Mina says, with a nod, “Basically, yep.”

 

Asuna asks, pointing at [Sammy], “And he comes from a universe where Serena-chan and the other Scouts are already dead?”

 

[Sammy] flinches from that and Hotaru responds, nervously, “Um, yes.”

 

Kotone asks, “And UNI-SHOCKER, the corporation that’s one of the investors in Augma, are an evil organization?”

 

Lita says, with a sigh, “Sadly, yep.”

 

Ryoutarou says, with a groan, “I knew that it was too good to be true.”

 

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “I had a feeling.”

 

Serena asks Kazuto, “Kazuto, did you…?”

 

Kazuto responds, “Have a ‘dream’ involving Aincrad over Tokyo and Sugu and Sammy fighting Heathcliff?”

 

Serena and Suguha look at Kazuto with slight surprise and Amara says, with a nod and plain tone, “I figured.”

 

Kazuto tells Suguha, “Sugu…”

 

Suguha responds, in a bit of annoyed tone, “I know, big brother. Sword Art World and all. I get it.”

 

Asuna tells Kazuto, “Like you and Serena-chan haven’t done the same, Kirito-kun, or do I need to remind the two of you of the name ‘Gun Gale Online’?”

 

Serena and Kazuto winch from that and Serena says, with a sigh, “We deserved that.”

 

Rika asks Darien, pointing to [Sammy], “And this guy doesn’t like you so much since your counterpart in his world helped take over?”

 

Darien says, plainly, “Yeah…”

 

Keiko asks, looking at [Suguha], “And she is another version of Suguha-chan?”

 

Hotaru says, with a nod, “That’s right, Keiko. She is an exact version of Suguha with her powers and everything.”

 

Lita says, “But she can’t use her powers since she doesn’t know how at all since a lot of her memories have been stolen and the rest are ‘locked away’ tight.”

 

Kotone asks, “But how can anyone steal someone’s memories from their mind?”

 

Kazuto responds, “Well, Ami’s theory is right on the money. Our brains are just biological computers and the nerve impulses in our minds are similar to data and data getting processed on a computer.”

 

Rika says, “I thought that I heard everything, but this takes the cake.”

 

Tai tells Rika, “Trust us, Rika. With us and the Sailor Scouts, I doubt that you have seen anything yet.”

 

Rika says, with a nod, “Something tells me that you are right, Tai.”

 

TK says, “Big time, Rika.”

 

Keiko asks, “So, what do we do now?”

 

Serena and Kazuto look at each other and Kazuto asks, “Where is the nearest place where Serena and I can buy an Augma?”

 

Asuna asks, surprised, “Kirito-kun?”

 

Ryoutarou says, with a grin, “I’m not surprised. You can’t stop being the hero.”

 

Serena says, “It isn’t being a hero, Klein. If what we found out about UNI-SHOCKER is true and it is most likely is true, they are doing something that’s most likely like what HE did, and I won’t stand for it.”

 

Darien tells Serena, with a sigh, “Since you are really strong about this…we’re with you, Meatball Head.” Serena looks at Darien and he tells her, with a warm smile, “And you know why Serena.”

 

Lita tells Serena, “Got that right.”

 

Ryoutarou says, with a grin, “And with you and Serena, bro.”

 

Kazuto says, “Klein…”

 

Ryoutarou tells Kazuto, “You aren’t going to keep us away like you did with GGO, buddy.”

 

Rika says, with a grin, “No kidding.” Rika tells Kazuto, glaring at him, “This isn’t just yours and Serena’s fight, it is our fight too. Remember, we are fellow SAO survivors and we are enjoying this kind of stuff and we’re not going to let assholes do to anyone else what that jerk that dared to call himself Serena’s uncle and dad did to all of us.”

 

Serena says, nervously, “But…”

 

Asuna says, shaking her head and interrupting, “No, buts, Serena-chan.”

 

Tai says, with a smirk, “You know that you are going to lose this fight.”

 

Amara says, with a plain tone, “No joke.” Amara says, “Anyway, you can help us with ‘Augma part’ of this while we are taking care of the UNI-SHOCKER part.”

 

Rika asks, “Isn’t that the same thing?”

 

Amara responds, with a plain tone, “Something tells me that our ‘battle’ will be on different ‘fronts’ with Ordinal Scale being just one of the ‘fronts’ that our enemy is going to use.”

 

Ken says, with a nod, “You may have a point, Amara.”

 

TK asks, with a serious tone, “So, what will be the other fronts?” TK says, looking at Ange, Tusk, and [Sammy], “Something tells me that it involves them.”

 

Trista says, “By now, UNI-SHOCKER must know that their enemy has arrived here, and they will be taking precautions especially since they must know that he has met up with us.”

 

Raye says, “And they aren’t stupid. They know that we are stronger than the Sailor Scouts of his universe especially with a stronger Sailor Moon and we have Nebula, Neo Moon, Orion, Sun, and Celestial with Meatball Head, Kari, Rini, Shion, and Suguha being Valkyrie level. They have been a while and they will have been gathering data on us.”

 

Ken says, with a nod, “Agreed, Raye. Most likely, they have been gathering data on us especially Davis since he has powers that rivals you, Sailor Scouts.”

 

Cody says, “Which means that we can’t underestimate their capabilities.”

 

Izzy says, “Finally, there is this Embryo character.”

 

Biyomon asks, “How can we be sure that he is here?”

 

Suguha says, “Trista, Raye, Amara, and I detected ‘disturbances’ in fabric of space-time especially Trista and me. These ‘disturbances’ are exactly like the ones that I felt when they came here.” Suguha points to her counterpart, Tusk, Ange, and Vivian.

 

Kazuto says, “Plus the fact that those machines have some kind of ‘temporal technology’ which means if they are here, so, is this ‘Embryo’. And I think that the Scout’s theory about him is correct. He is the cause of Suguha’s ‘counterpart’ having a ‘loss’ of memory. Embryo found her, and he was the one who took her memories in an effort to control this Sugu’s power, but something happened, and she ended up on Ange-san’s world. I’m thinking most likely that she got away from him somehow, but her memories were mainly lost in the process in which her powers rejected this ‘Light of Mana’, which I highly suspect that this power comes from this Embryo character, due to the fact that it is some kind of ‘tainted power’.

 

Amara says, “Causing her to be mistaken for one of the people that don’t have this ‘Mana power’ and in fact, can also ‘disrupt’ it and are most likely not under Embryo’s ‘control’: The ‘Norma’.”

 

Trista says, plainly, “Somehow the advanced AI of the machine Valkyrie detected the other Suguha’s power, but it managed also found her ‘strength of character’ in which it chose her to wield its power.”

 

Hotaru asks Trista, “Is that important Trista-mama?”

 

Trista responds, “It proves that this machine’s AI seems to ‘desire’ Embryo’s downfall and it detected the ‘other Suguha’s’ ability to do that which is why it chose her.”

 

Tusk says, “It is a good theory. We understand Valkyrie even less than we do Villkiss.”

 

Matt asks, “So, basically, this ‘guy’ or whatever he is going to come after these two?”

 

Matt motions to Ange and [Suguha] and Lita says, “In short.”

 

Amara says, “However, while those machines are a threat to him, they also might be vital to his plans.” Amara asks [Suguha], “You mentioned that when he was attacking your ‘home’ on that world, they were taking away those Para-Mails?”

 

[Suguha] asks, curiously, “Yeah, why?”

 

Amara says, “Why is that? If they wanted to just get rid of you all, why go out of the way to capture those machines or more exactly…the pilots? It doesn’t make sense unless…”

 

Ange asks, “Wait! Are you saying that they wanted the Para-Mail pilots?”

 

Darien says, “It actually makes sense.” Darien says, looking at Vivian, “Tusk, you mentioned that they tried to capture Vivian, too.”

 

Tusk says, with a nod, “Yes! And she is a Para-Mail pilot too!”

 

[Suguha] asks, “What does this all mean?”

 

Amara says, “Can’t be absolutely sure. Most likely, we are going to have to ‘ask’ Embryo.”

 

Serena says, with a sarcastic annoyed tone, “Joy.”

 

Suguha says, “Don’t blame you.”

 

Darien says, “However, what we do know is that he is coming here to this world in order to find Ange-san and Suguha’s counterpart.”

 

Shion says, “He might get an interest in us, Sailor Scouts, too.”

 

Keiko asks, curiously, “Why do you say that Shion?”

 

Suguha responds, “Why have one Sailor Celestial when you can have TWO? Double the power and double the Etherion.”

 

Amara says, with a sneer forming on her feature, “And something just tells me that this ‘guy’ has a ‘taste’ for strong and lovely young women.”

 

Lita shivers and she says, annoyed, “Thanks for that disturbing thought, Amara.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “No joke.”

 

Davis asks, pointing to [Sammy], [Suguha], Tusk, Ange, and Vivian, “And what do we do with our ‘visitors’?”

 

Kazuto says, “I think that Sugu’s ‘twin’ should come with us to our home.” Everyone looks at Kazuto and he says, “She is basically another version of Sugu, so, I think that it is best that she remains with us. And despite most of her memories are ‘missing’, being at our home could help bring out enough of the remaining ones in order to allow her to use her powers again.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “That’s a good idea, big brother.”

 

Trista says, also nodding her head, “Yes, it is. Her home would be ‘engrained’ within Suguha’s heart and mind, so, the Kirigaya household would be a perfect ‘trigger’ to unlock certain memories if they are still within her mind.”

 

Suguha asks her counterpart, “What do you say?”

 

[Suguha] tells Ange, “I think that it is a good idea, Ange. These are just different versions of people that I know from my home. They could help me regain my memories.”

 

Ange says, with a sigh, “Fine.”

 

Rika asks, pointing to the other ‘visitors’, “But what about the rest of them?”

 

Davis says, pointing to [Sammy], “Well, I doubt that this dude is going with Moon girl.”

 

Mina says, with a nod, “No kidding, Davis. He has got a ‘thing’ against Darien and despite him not being a bad guy, he might ‘forget’ that this Darien isn’t HIS Darien.”

 

Amara says, with a sly smirk, “We might be able to handle it.”

 

[Sammy] asks, nervously, “What?”

 

Michelle says, shaking her head, “Amara…”

 

Hotaru says, slapping her head, “Amara-papa…”

 

Serena says, “I’ll allow it…as long as you give back his ‘gear’ to him.”

 

The others are surprised, and Amara asks, “Kitten?”

 

Serena tells Amara, “I know that he is on our side and he is an expert on UNI-SHOCKER. We are going to need his help.” Serena then says, looking at [Sammy], “However, my Darien isn’t HIS Darien from his world and while he does have to like my Darien-kun, he has to work with him and cooperate with him.”

 

[Sammy] says, with a sigh, “Okay…”

 

Serena tells Amara, “And as long as he stays with you…”

 

Amara says, with a nod, “Right, hime.”

 

Serena says, “And I think that it is best that Ange-san, Tusk-san, and Vivian-san stays with Darien and I.”

 

There are looks of surprise and Davis says, “Hold up!”

 

Lita says, “Yeah, Serena! I live alone, so, I would be a better choice.”

 

Serena says, nervously, “Yeah…” Serena looks at Ange and she says, with a sigh, “Ange-san has become quite a ‘fighter’ and you aren’t a girl to take ‘sass’ from anyone, boy or girl.”

 

Mina says, with a nod, “No kidding.”

 

Serena says, “And also…”

 

Ken says, “Embryo, right? He is a complete unknown to us and for the moment, you think that it is best that if he is after Suguha’s counterpart and Ange-san, the most powerful of the Sailor Scouts should have them ‘under guard’.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yep.”

 

Kazuto says, nodding his head, “I have to agree. There are only five Scouts that have Valkyrie Sailor Scout forms: Serena, Shion, Kari, Sugu, and…”

 

Just then a familiar female voice says, “Me.” Everyone looks to see Rini and Molly enter the room and she says, looking at [Suguha] and [Sammy], “Wow. I guess that seeing is believing.”

 

Darien says, “Thanks for coming.”

 

Rini says, “No problem.”

 

[Sammy] asks, surprised, “Rini?!”

 

Rini responds, “Yes, I still exist here. And let me tell you that my dad isn’t like anything like that ‘fake’ in your world. He stayed by mom’s side for those two years trapped in SAO.”

 

Ange asks, looking at Serena, “Wait, MOM?!”

 

Plenty of the others sweat drop and Serena says, nervously, “She is my daughter from the future.”

 

Tusk, Ange, Vivian, and [Suguha] gasp in which [Suguha] yells out, flabbergasted, “Your future daughter?!”

 

Rini says, with a smile, “That’s right. Princess Rini Serenity of Crystal Tokyo at your service. I also Sailor Neo Moon, the Sailor Moon of Crystal Tokyo. And yes, I am that Meatball Head’s future daughter.” Rini says, with a stern glare, “But we look nothing alike!”

 

Vivian says, looking between Serena and Rini, “Actually, you do.”

 

Serena and Rini glare at Vivian for that remark and Raye says, annoyed, “Okay, Meatball Heads One and Two, cut it out.”

 

Davis says, with a smile, “Like mother, like daughter.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smirk, “Unfortunately.”

 

Serena and Rini say in unison, “Hey!”

 

[Suguha] says, “Okay, this is getting too weird.”

 

Mina says, with a smile, “Welcome to our lives…and your life once we get you back home and with your memories.”

 

[Suguha] says, “Oh, joy.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “I feel for you.”

 

Rini says, clearing her throat, “Anyway…Serena is right. This Embryo, from what we know, is mainly an unknown and it is for the best that some of our strongest scouts keep an eye on them. And that means that it is best that they stay with our Valkyrie level Sailor Scouts. Shion lives a single person apartment home, I’m with our Sammy and my Earth grandparents, who have their own set of problems for the past several years thanks to a certain ‘royal grandparent’ I won’t mention by name, and with Kari, while Tai is moving out to college when he is done in SAO Memorial Academy, is also going to be hard pressed and they have been through a lot due to SAO too. That leaves just Aunt Suguha and my Meatball Head future mom as the best bets and it is also a good idea to split them up.”

 

Molly says, with a nod, “Since they are both targets, we can’t risk them getting captured at the same time and it is best to keep them apart.”

 

Ange was about to launch a protest while [Suguha] tells her, “Ange, I think they have a point.”

 

Ange says, with a sigh and annoyed expression, “Fine.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a smile, “Thank you, Ange.”

 

Suguha asks Molly, “Molly, do you have a few spear Augma for sis and bro?”

 

Molly responds, with a smile, “I’ve managed to get a few through a few ‘back doors’ I have available.”

 

Lita asks, amazed, “Really?”

 

Molly says, with a smile, “Remember, I had to be a Sailor Scout under your noses and doing my own thing until I revealed myself. Trista couldn’t ‘see’ me until I decided to reveal myself, but it didn’t mean that I could be careless in my work.”

 

Kazuto says, “Thank you.”

 

Ryoutarou says, “This is getting to be a real bummer.”

 

Suguha says, “I know. I wanted this to work out too, but Kayaba may be ‘one-in-a-million’, however, with billions of people in the world, there are bound to be a few more jerks.”

 

Ken says, “I hate to say it, but Suguha has good logic.”

 

TK says, with a nod, “No kidding.”

 

Darien says, “All we can do is prevent something like what happened to Serena, you, and the others from happening ever again.”

 

Serena says, “SAO…Sword Art World…GGO…We have got to make a stand. Just reacting to thing ‘incidents’ are just going to give them a chance to hurt more people. We need to nip these problems in the butt.”

 

Davis says, “I’ve got to agree. There have been plenty of jerks that have been abusing stuff that could change the world for the better. We’ve got to make a stand.”

 

Molly says, “It isn’t going to be easy. It took a ton of work to get what we got, and it isn’t even close to enough to even quirk an eyebrow despite those in the VR division that are suspicious of them.”

 

Asuna asks, “There are people in the government that are suspicious of them?”

 

Suguha says, plainly, “Including our ‘old friend’ Seijirou-san.”

 

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “Not surprised that he is involved, but I don’t get what got him perked.”

 

Molly says, “We’re not sure, but he has voiced his concerns, however, with those that want a possible ‘completely safe alternate’ to Full-Dive technology, they weren’t listened to and I suspect that a few were ‘paid off’.”

 

[Sammy] says, “Most likely. UNI-SHOCKER is a business-like organization and they know their way around economics and politics. This isn’t their first American rodeo.”

 

Amara tells [Sammy], “Well, you are going to need to provide us with all of the information that you know about that organization. We need to know about them as much as possible in order to figure out how to counter them.”

 

[Sammy] nods his head and he says, “Got that right.”

 

Kazuto says, “On the meanwhile, Serena and I will join Ordinal Scale and see if we can find out something from that end.”

 

Asuna says, with a nod, “Right.”

 

Rika says, “And don’t try to say otherwise, buddy. You’re not going to trick us out of helping out like you and Serena did with GGO.”

 

Ryoutarou says, with a nod, “You know it. Ordinal Scale is popular all over the place and it has gained tens to hundreds of thousands of players. As SAO survivors, it is our job is to make sure that they are safe and make sure something similar to what happened to us never happens again. We’re the heroes after all.”

 

Kazuto asks, with a smirk, “Seriously, Klein?”

 

Tai says, “Okay, everyone. Let’s discuss our plans and figure out our ‘plan of attack’.” Plenty of the others nod their heads and their discussions begin on how to deal with the developing situation ahead.

 

April 20, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Back within UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, Salia and her group are breathing heavily as Embryo walks into the room.

 

Salia says, “Master Embryo.”

 

Embryo responds, “My lovely Salia, did you find the tools given to you useful?”

 

Salia says, amazed, “Yes…It was…incredible…It was so real…”

 

Chris says, amazed, “It was so real that it felt…unreal…”

 

Embryo says, “The fruits of this humanities labor and it shows why our Earth is so lacking.” Embryo says, looking at the five young women, “They have found a way to create brand new worlds where their dreams come true.”

 

Salia says, “Yes…”

 

Embryo asks, curiously, “Yes, Salia?”

 

Salia says, “But these ‘worlds’…”

 

Embryo responds, “Aren’t real, Salia?” Salia gives a look of surprise and Embryo responds, shaking his head, “My dear, sometimes ‘reality’ is a form of ‘perception’. There are plenty of people that would agree with you, but they, like you, are forgetting something. If it was ‘fake’, why would they call this ‘virtual REALITY’? The ‘virtual universe’ is just another form of ‘reality’ with its own set of rules through those that ‘manage’ these worlds are the ones that create the rules.”

 

Tanya says, “If you say so, Master Embryo.”

 

Embryo says, with a smile, “I must say that this is very…inspiring.”

 

Ersha asks, “Inspiring?”

 

Embryo responds, with a smile, “To do better. To create something in the physical realm what they have done in the digital realms. We are threshold of a brand new and even better world. However, there are ‘factors’ that we need to acquire.”

 

Chris says, “Suguha and Ange.”

 

Embryo says, “Correct, Chris. But they, now, have powerful allies and they will not be easy to face.”

 

Salia says, with a confident smile, “Do not worry, Master Embryo. We won’t let you do. And thanks to this technology, we can train in ways that we never thought possible. We are already learning about them and learning how to counter them.”

 

Embryo tells Salia, “Very good, but don’t get overconfident, my dear Salia. You and the other girls should know, above all others, about the ‘unknowns’ in combat.”

 

Irma says, with a nod, “Yes, Master Embryo.”

 

Embryo tells the five young ladies, “And there is also both this Earth’s Suguha and her ‘royal sister’, Sailor Moon. They will fight hard the most to defend Ange and not just because of our Suguha.”

 

Chris asks, curiously, “Why is that Master Embryo?”

 

Embryo responds, “As you must have read, Sailor Moon…Miss Tsukino was betrayed by a family member just like Ange was and Miss Tsukino loved this man like a ‘second father’ in which he was her father in her past life which he betrayed her and his sister helping cause the end of a civilization. You have seen the footage of her before and after Sword Art Online.”

 

Salia says, with a nod, “Yes, Master Embryo. It is hard for me to believe that she is the same girl. She was a total amateur before, but now…”

 

Embryo replies, “Kayaba’s betrayal and SAO forged her as a warrior. It is wise not to underestimate her.”

 

Salia responds, with a strong tone, “No, Master Embryo. We won’t underestimate her.”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “That’s all I ask, my dear Salia. Now, you and the girls take a rest. While your bodies may be at ‘rest’ with the Full-Dive technology, there is a factor of ‘mental fatigue’ since you are ‘working’ your minds in Full-Dive since it is ‘stimulating’ your ‘senses’ in your mind.” The five young ladies nod their heads and Embryo smile as he thinks about Suguha, her counterpart that he knows, Ange, and Serena/Sailor Moon herself.

 

April 20, 2026, Tokyo, Kirigaya residence

 

At the Kirigaya home, Suguha, Kazuto, and [Suguha] are entering and [Suguha] has an amazed look on her face.

 

[Suguha] says, “This seems so…so familiar…”

 

Kazuto says, “Not surprising that it should.”

 

Suguha asks her counterpart, “Bring back any exact memories?”

 

[Suguha] shakes her head and replies, “Not exactly.”

 

Just then a high male voice shouts out, “Hey, boss!” The three of them look to see an Agumon and a small pink and violet bipedal rabbit Digimon with golden crescent moons on its body walk up to them in which the Agumon is different from Tai’s Agumon in which it is bigger, and it has leather gloves like an old fashion fighter’s gloves around its clawed hands.

 

This Agumon asks, looking between Suguha and [Suguha], “Um, hey, boss, why are there two of you?”

 

Suguha responds, nervously, “It is a long story, Agumon.”

 

[Suguha] asks, curiously, “Are you one of these ‘Digidestined’ too?”

 

Suguha replies, with a bit of a sad smile, “No, I’m a Digimon TAMER. It is a bit of a story.”

 

Kazuto thinks in his mind, “A story that not even I know much about. After Mirei gave Suguha her device…or returned it, all that even I know that Sugu became a Tamer during the period when I first got trapped in SAO and before she started to play ALO. Whenever any of us tries to ask her about it, she just skips around the question. Anything else that we know is that her digivice got damaged and she gave it and her Digimon partners to Mirei for ‘safe keeping’.”

 

The bunny Digimon asks, “Suguha, why are there are two of you?”

 

Suguha replies, a bit nervously, “It is…complicated Lunamon.” Suguha’s Agumon, who we will call Agumon (Suguha) to show the difference between Tai’s Agumon from hers, and the bunny Digimon, Lunamon, look at each other with confused looks while Kazuto and Suguha escort [Suguha] around in which she goes into Kazuto’s room.

 

Kazuto asks [Suguha], “Is there anything familiar?”

 

[Suguha] says, “Well…” But then [Suguha] spots Kazuto’s old NervGear and she then gasps as she images of Kazuto in hospital bed when he was trapped in SAO causing her to hold her head and scream out in pain and fear with Kazuto catching her.

 

Suguha yells out, shocked, “Whoa!”

 

Kazuto says, nervously, “I think her seeing my old NervGear is not a good thing for her.”

 

Suguha retorts, sarcastically, “You think big brother?” Kazuto, holding onto [Suguha], quickly gets her out of his room and brings her to Suguha’s room where Trivia is waiting.

 

Trivia asks, “I have been informed about the situation, but what happened to your counterpart?”

 

Suguha replies, nervously, “A bad memory…A REALLY BAD memory, Trivia.” Trivia gives a confused look while Kazuto and Suguha look at our Celestial Princess’ counterpart, who is struggling to regain her focus after that ‘mental shock, in which they feel that they are in for a long day.

 

April 20, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Back inside of the Juuban District, we head into the apartment home of Darien Shields where he and his girlfriend and future wife, Serena, is joined by Tusk, Ange, and Vivian, who are looking around.

 

Tusk says, plainly, “Wow.”

 

Vivian says, amazed, “Cool!”

 

Serena says, “I don’t think that our place is really that special.”

 

Ange says, plainly, “Well, in our world, people don’t live in such huge structures and they don’t live on top of one another. The thing closest to many of your buildings is the Tower of Dawn.”

 

Darien says, “Well, we have such limited land that we have to build up and not across.”

 

Tusk says, “It amazes me that some many people can live together.”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “Well, it isn’t easy.” As this is going on, Vivian then spots Serena old NervGear and she goes over to it, gives it a curious look, and grabs it.

 

Vivian asks, “What’s this thing?”

 

Serena looks at Vivian, gasps at what she is holding, and she shouts out, strongly, “Don’t touch that! Put that down right now!” Vivian yelps and she throws the NervGear in the air in which BlackGatomon, one of Serena’s TWO Digimon partners, comes out of seemly nowhere and catches in her paws.

 

Ange asks, annoyed, “Hey, what’s the big idea?”

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “Sorry.” Serena takes the NervGear out of BlackGatomon’s paws while her Gatomon, who will call Gatomon (Serena), to show the difference between Serena’s feline Digimon partner from Kari’s Gatomon, comes out with Luna, Serena’s guardian feline. Serena says, with a solemn tone, “This…This has a lot of meaning to me…A lot of mixed feelings and I don’t want anyone to touch for many reasons including getting hurt.”

 

Tusk asks, curiously, “What do you mean? What is that thing?”

 

Serena says, with a solemn smile, “My NervGear.”

 

Vivian asks, confused, “NervGear?”

 

Tusk asks, “Wait! You mean that device that trapped you in that ‘other world’ that was supposed to be a game?”

 

Serena says, with a nod and solemn smile, “Yeah, this is it. You wouldn’t think that something like this would be dangerous, but this was the device that trapped in ‘another world’ for two long years. A piece of technology that was supposed to be for fun and bring a new frontier in gameplay and more…But instead it became a shackle that trapped me in a prison and also the blade around my neck for two long years.”

 

Ange asks, “Hold up, if this is the source of your pain, why keep it?”

 

Serena replies, with a weak smile, “That’s a good question, Ange-san. Maybe it is to remind me that not everyone can be ‘redeemed’ only stopped before they destroy so many lives. Or maybe it is to remind me that it wasn’t the technology that was evil, it was the man behind the technology. ‘He’ could have done so much for the world. Full-Dive wasn’t just for entertainment. You already know that there is medical Full-Dive equipment that could do incredible things like it did for Davis and Kari with those ‘healing pods’ based on the technology. Instead, ‘he’ selfishly used the technology to trap ten thousand poor souls in a nightmare for two long years and put so many people through so much suffering including his own family.” Darien gives Serena a worried look and she says, “There is a lot of reasons that I keep it, but it is also to remind me of my ‘mission’.”

 

Tusk asks, “Mission?”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “I swore never to let what happened to my fellow SAO survivors and myself ever happen to anyone else. I will never allow another ‘Sword Art Online’ to ever happen again.”

 

Ange asks Serena, “Why?” When Serena looks at Ange, she says, “I’m not going to say that I understand you and your world as well as this whole ‘virtual reality bit’, but from what I see, you don’t owe anyone anything. Did you trap those people with these things? Did you use these things to murder four thousand out of all the people that he trapped in there including you? And don’t say about helping him creating it as a brat. You were just a little kid thinking that it was going to be some kind of fun game and he twisted your ideas into his sick scheme! If anything, you are a victim as much as any of victims of that ass even more so! Why do you think that you owe anyone anything?!”

 

Serena responds, with a light smile, “Because…it is my duty.” Ange gives a confused look and Serena says, “I’m Sailor Moon, the protector of love and justice. Personally, if you told me that I would be taking my ‘job’ as Sailor Moon more seriously back before SAO, I would think that you are crazy. Back then all I ever wanted was to just be a normal girl…through I learned that there is not such a thing as ‘normal’. All I ever truly wanted was to get married to my personal prince. I really never cared about being a princess or a ruler. I just wanted to enjoy life, my friends, and my wonderful man in my life.” Serena says, with a sigh, “However, as I fought as Sailor Moon, I learned that since I had the power, I had to use it because I was the only one who could make sure that people and their dreams weren’t destroyed by sickos like Beryl or the Doom Phantom. To be honest, I took that power for granted and to be honest, with all of my victories, when evil came up, I felt all I had to do was fight as Sailor Moon, beat the bad guys, which would most likely be a hard fight, but in the end, my friends and I would win, and then relax through another time of peace until the next baddy comes up to get his butt kicked. But SAO changed my perception quickly and gave me the hard truth with a swift kick in the butt. I learned that I couldn’t always count on my powers helping me through everything and that I was extremely lucky in my previous fights…Lucky that everything turned out okay and everyone survived or at least ‘revived’ in the end. I learned that life doesn’t work that way. Through most of SAO, I had to fight without my power as Sailor Moon and fight under the rules of world of Aincrad. I did everything in my ‘power’ to save everyone…I gave it my all to protect and save all those poor people…and in the end, I couldn’t save them all and hundreds died before my eyes.” Serena starts to shake, and tears start to shed from her eyes.

 

Darien says, concerned, “Serena…”

 

Darien starts to move to Serena, but she holds up her hand and Serena tells Darien, with a nod, “I’m okay, Darien. I’m okay.” Serena wipes away her tears and she tells Ange, “Those memories will haunt me for the rest of life and beyond. I remembered that my ‘royal mother’, Queen Serenity-mama, taught me that a ruler rules WITH her power not ABOVE them. A ruler’s duty is to protect and guild her people to their happiness. And another lesson that I learned, while I heard from an American comic book, but it is a really good life lesson: ‘Evil wins when good people don’t do anything.’ Those are lessons that I know now, and I live and breathe by those lessons. And that’s why I do it, Ange-san. I never let what I went through or the legacy of this horror that continues to haunt my family and friends to this day hurt anyone I love or anyone else ever again as well as make sure that another horror like SAO NEVER comes.”

 

Luna thinks in her mind, with a weak smile, “Serena…”

&n bsp;

Tusk gives a look of amazement and Vivian says, “Wow.”

 

Ange says, with a shrug, “Fine.”

 

Darien gives a slight annoyed look and Serena tells Ange, “I can understand how you feel Ange-san.”

 

Ange replies, without looking at Serena, “I know. I already saw it in your eyes. You can’t fake those emotions.” Ange tells Serena, plainly, “However, it doesn’t mean that we are friends or anything. We are just allies just because we have the same enemy, that’s all.”

 

Ange goes over to sit on the couch and Tusk is about to say something in which Serena tells Tusk, “It’s okay. I already know. It must be hard for her to trust people.”

 

Tusk replies, with a nod, “Yeah, it is. Her whole world was turned upside down.”

 

Serena responds, “I know that feeling.” Serena, Vivian, Ange, Tusk, Darien, Luna, and the two Digimon felines settle in and start making arrangements while Vivian, Tusk, and Ange are here.

 

April 20, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District, Outer Sailor Scout mansion

 

Within the large home of the Outer Sailor Scouts, Hotaru is helping [Sammy] inside of the guest room of the house.

 

[Sammy] says, “At least I’m not in the garage.”

 

Hotaru responds, “I’m sorry. Amara-papa is very protective of our Serena-hime.”

 

[Sammy] says, with a nod, “So was mine.”

 

Hotaru tells [Sammy], “It is just hard to believe that any version of…”

 

[Sammy] replies, interrupting, “Well, your Earth prince is different than mine once was. He was exactly same. He was devoted to my sister.”

 

Hotaru responds, curiously, “Then why?”

 

[Sammy] says, “He let his love turn into obsession and used it as an excuse for wanting more power. When the others showed their ‘concerns’ over his new power, he blew it out of proportion and betrayed my sister and the Sailor Scouts in which he fucking claimed that they betrayed him first.” [Sammy] says, with a sneer, “Worthless piece of…” [Sammy’s] hands turn into fist and he says, “That’s why you see I have ‘trust issues’ with ‘that guy’.”

 

Hotaru says, “Our Darien won’t ever let his love for our princess get corrupted. He stayed by her bedside every day when she was trapped in SAO.”

 

[Sammy] says, “I’m sorry, but like I said, my ‘tuxedo boy’ was also devoted to MY Meatball Head and now, she is six feet under.”

 

Hotaru says, “I’m sorry that you feel that way, but I understand.”

 

[Sammy] tells Hotaru, “If you talk to your Meatball Head, tell her…I’m sorry for what I said. I didn’t know that she went through a lot.”

 

Hotaru says, with a nod, “I know, but could you please tell that yourself? It will make it easier for both of you that way.”

 

[Sammy] says, with a nod, “Right.”

 

Hotaru says, with a smile, “Thank you.” Hotaru leaves [Sammy] in the guest room and he looks over himself.

 

[Sammy] thinks in his mind, “Man! This world is so different from my own and it is also so much similar. I can’t believe that another version of Uncle Kayaba would do something so…so horrible! In my world, he is my best informant especially since UNI-SHOCKER doesn’t suspect a thing despite them knowing that he is my uncle! Could the reason be…?” [Sammy] shakes his head and he thinks, “And there is another thing that worries me. They have Digidestined and Digimon here too. If my world and this world aren’t too different, could it be possible that…? Oh, boy! I had better help these girls take out what UNI-SHOCKER is planning with this Augma and return back as soon as possible! I’m going to need to find my world’s Kazuto and Suguha Kirigaya! They may be my world’s best bet to crush UNI-SHOCKER once and for all! I just hope that I’m not too late!” [Sammy] thinks in his mind, “No! UNI-SHOCKER has been in this world for quite a while and that means that they would have known about Sailor Celestial for quite some time and if they had gotten to her of my world, if my world has a version of her, it would have been all over a long time ago. So, why haven’t they? Well, right now, it doesn’t matter. At this point, I need to stop them from getting these two Sailor Celestials and their power. If they get their hands on their power, it will be over for this Earth, my Earth, and possibly all of existences since UNI-SHOCKER would love to rewrite everything including becoming deities. The ‘ultimate power’ to do anything is something that they can’t ignore, and I have to do everything in my power to make sure that they don’t get it. No matter what it takes, I will not let Meatball Head’s sacrifice be in vain. I won’t stop until UNI-SHOCKER is gone for good and my Japan is finally free of them.”

 

April 20, 2026, Tokyo

 

In the skies of Tokyo, there is a figure looking down at the city and from what we can tell from the figure, whose features are hidden by shadows, he is a male person.

 

The male figure says, in a familiar yet dark voice, “So, this is the Tokyo of this Earth. Déjà vu. I wonder if the Meatball Head of this world is any different from my Meatball Head.” We then get see the lips of the male figure and we can see that his lips curl into a sinister smile.

 

End Scene 3

 

That’s the end of this scene and things are accelerating in which the ‘cast’ continues to grow and now, Serena and Kazuto are about to join Ordinal Scale in which allies and enemies from another world have also ‘joined the party’. It seems like UNI-SHOCKER is well-informed about our heroes and heroines and that just means that the battle is going to be tougher. What’s next to come? Well, you are going to have to read and find out, everyone! Please read and review and no flames! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
