Scene 4: Seeing Double Trouble

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Within the Juuban District of Tokyo, three figures are on the tops of the skyscrapers where we find that the figures are one male and two female figures with the male figure having spiky blond hair and blue eyes while the first female figure has pink hair and jade green eyes with the other female figure having long dark blue hair and white-lavender pupiless eyes. All three of them are dressed in ninja style outfits while looking out into the city.

 

The dark blue haired female asks, “So, they are meeting around here?”

 

The pink haired female responds, “Yep. They are going to their ‘secret headquarters’…Well, from everyone else than us.”

 

The blond haired male replies, with a nod, “Believe it.” The blond haired male asks, “So, our mission to observe them?”

 

The pink haired female replies, “That’s what we are getting paid to do.”

 

The dark blue haired female asks, “Do you think that they will sense us?”

 

The blond haired male responds, “Doubtful, Hinata-chan. With my seals and all that we learned from Suzume-sensei and the others, I doubt it, believe it.”

 

The pink haired female replies, “Don’t underestimate them, Naruto. And especially those ‘Moon Princesses’.” The pink haired female says, with a sigh, “Not surprising after what they went through.”

 

The dark blue haired female, Hinata, says, “I can’t believe that any parent or family member would do anything so horrible to their own family.”

 

The blond haired male, Naruto, says, with a plain tone, “What do you expect from someone so heartless, Hinata-chan? While she never deserved any of the pain, the experienced showed her the reality of life. Everything doesn’t always work out like in an anime and manga just like the one based on my life.”

 

The pink haired female says, with a nod, “No kidding. It helped strength her…but at a cost.”

 

Hinata says, solemnly, “I wish that she didn’t have to ‘pay’ it.” Hinata asks, “And what about…?”

 

The pink haired female responds, “What do you think Hinata?”

 

Naruto says, with a whistle, “Never thought that a girl like her…”

 

The pink haired female says, “I hate to say it, Naruto, but considering her ‘past life’, her ‘current life’ was going to be a struggle and it still is.”

 

Hinata asks, curiously, “Do her friends know about it, Sakura?”

 

The pink haired female responds, “You think that she would tell them about THAT, Hinata?”

 

Hinata says, with a nod, “Good point, Sakura.”

 

The pink haired female, Sakura, says, with a sigh, “With that on her plate along with everything that she has been through, I hate to say, but she is a ticking time bomb. However, then again, so is her ‘royal sister’.”

 

Naruto says, with a nod, “Believe it.” Elsewhere within Juuban, we find ourselves within the ‘secret base’ of the Sailor Scouts within Game Center Crown, the arcade below Fruits Parlor Crown, where we find our heroes and heroines, Sailor Scouts, Digidestined with their Digimon partners, and SAO survivors in which they are joined by Tusk, Ange, Vivian, [Suguha], and [Sammy] as Kazuto and Serena are trying on their new Augma AR devices. On the meanwhile, Tusk goes over to [Sammy].

 

[Sammy] asks, “What is it?”

 

Tusk responds, “Easy there. I’m not here to fight.” Tusk tells him, “Look, I won’t even begin to say that I understand what you went through. However, I know how it feels to lose your family.” Tusk then explains about himself and his life and when he is done, Tusk says, “Anyway, you know, I think that you pissed off our hosts.”

 

[Sammy] responds, "How the hell was I supposed to know that this Sailor Moon, this version of my sister, of this world suffered her own big betrayal. I'm just trying to stop history, MY world's history, from repeating itself here."

 

Tusk says, “I heard you say that that the man in the tuxedo betrayed your sister and her friends in your world.”

 

[Sammy] says, with a sneer, “Yeah, that…GIMP not only destroyed my world…but he also destroyed my sister’s heart.”

 

Tusk tells [Sammy]. “As you know, I can understand your feelings on family and second…why did you just call him a gimp?”

 

[Sammy] responds, “On my world, Tuxedo Mask got a very insulting nickname after English drunk men were rambling on a video how Tuxedo Mask is borderline useless and nothing but excess baggage on the Senshi. The nickname was given ‘The Sailor Senshi’s Gimp with a rose’ because all he did was throw a rose and nothing else.”

 

Tusk says, “Wow, that’s insulting.”

 

[Sammy] replies, “Yeah. That’s the reason why the Tuxedo Mask of my Earth sought out power as he said to me, in his words: ‘Your Meatball Head of a sister and her bitches had made me, as Tuxedo Mask, look bad after getting upgrade after upgrade leaving me in the dirt.’ He may have loved my sister and saw the Scouts as his family, but that doesn’t excuse him for his treachery.”

 

Tusk tells [Sammy], “I am sorry for your loss. Like I just mentioned, I know what it means to lose family.”

 

[Sammy] says, “Thank you.”

 

Tusk says, “It must be hard being made a cyborg against your will by the hand of those monsters.”

 

[Sammy] says, “Actually, while UNI-SHOCKER wanted to make me a cyborg to use against my sister, it was actually my sister, when she managed to sneak into where they were holding me, turned me into a cyborg.”

 

Tusk gasps in shock and he asks, stunned, “What? How did she do that? Why did she do that?”

 

[Sammy] responds, “That’s simple. The answer is: She was undercover in UNI-SHOCKER, as a scientist, because it was the last past that they would look…right under their noses. They may have devices to detect her magical disguise abilities, but my Meatball Head knew other ways to get around. Let’s just say that she did actually learn a few things from the other Sailor Scouts. Also, one more thing, unlike this Meatball Mead, MY Meatball Head had an IQ of over four hundred.”

 

Tusk asks, “That explains about how she got in, but why did she do it?”

 

[Sammy] says, "I was caught as bait for my sister and I was deep enough into the 'transformation' that any attempt to stop it would have killed me. However, she managed to make sure that I would be free of their control and she made me a cyborg of her own choosing." [Sammy] says, with a sigh, "She had a bad 'feeling' that something bad was going to happen to her and she wanted to make sure that Earth would have a defense against those bastards. She didn't want to use me, but she knew that UNI-SHOCKER would come after me and she also had faith in me."

 

Tusk says, with an amazed look, “Wow, that’s incredible.” Tusk then asks, “But did UNI-SHOCKER originate from your world?”

 

[Sammy] says, shaking his head, “Nope, they didn’t. But I think that I will tell that tale another day when our audience stops eavesdropping.” Tusk and Sammy look at see our heroes and heroines looking at them with some of them having quite surprised looks on their faces.

 

Mina asks, “So, in your world, your Serena was like Ami-chan?”

 

[Sammy] replies, with a sigh, “She never likes to use it. My Meatball Head actually got her nickname because she was so smart. She decided to keep her smarts a secret. Personally, I thought that made her more of a Meatball Head than anything.” [Sammy] says, “And before you say anything, she was my sister.”

 

Lita asks, “Actually, where did your Serena get her smarts?”

 

[Sammy] replies, “From our mother’s side of the family.”

 

Plenty of the others glance at each other and Serena thinks in her mind, “Does this mean what I think it means?”

 

Kazuto says, with a plain tone, “For now, let’s not focus on the history of his world. Our major objective is finding out what UNI-SHOCKER is up to and how it involves Ordinal Scale.”

 

Amara says, “Of that, we are agreed upon.”

 

Lita tells Kazuto, “Well, you are late comers to this game, so, you and Serena need to study up first.”

 

Rika says, with a grin, “Yep! AR isn’t like the Full-Dive VR that you are used to.”

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “We know.”

 

Vivian says, “I wish that I could try it. It was really awesome going into that VR world. It was really cool to do magic and stuff.”

 

Serena tells Vivian, with a smile, “I’m glad that you liked it.”

 

Ange says, with a plain tone, “Personally, I didn’t want Vivian to do that. Based on what you said, even ‘man-made other worlds’ can be quite dangerous.”

 

Mina says, with a smile, “Oh, come on! It isn’t like THAT anyone.”

 

Ange responds, with a plain tone, “Then why are you investigating another ‘man-made other world’?”

 

Mina gives a winch and Amara says, “She has got you there, Mina-chan.”

 

Lita says, with a nod, “Big time.”

 

Suguha puts on her Augma and she says, “I’ll start off by taking on that quest.”

 

Kazuto asks, “Quest?”

 

Mina says, with a grin, “Another day, another score for one of the top…!!” Mina doesn’t get to finish as Suguha grabs her and clamps her mouth shut.

 

Kazuto asks, curiously, “Sugu?”

 

Suguha responds, nervously, “Oh, you know how Mina-chan can be, big brother! Anyway, I’ll see you and the others later!” Soon after, Suguha quickly leaves in which leaves Serena and Kazuto pretty stunned.

 

Serena asks, confused, “Okay, what was that about?”

 

Hotaru says, with a nervous smile, “Suguha tends to be a bit humble.”

 

Kazuto asks, “About what?”

 

Rika says, with a sly grin, “About how she is one of the top players of Ordinal Scale.”

 

Kazuto and Serena gasp in shock and Serena asks, shocked, “What?!”

 

Yolei says, “Yeah, we were surprised too.”

 

TK says, with a nod, “I know, Yolei. Despite her being a Sailor Senshi warrior and a kendo wielder herself, she has proven one of the best in the game.”

 

Tai says, with a plain tone, “But then again, I think we get why.”

 

Molly says, with a sigh, “She wanted to get noticed. She probably figured that they already know who she is and she figured that if she got noticed that they would figure that she already knew about their plans and tip their hand.”

 

Matt says, “A trap that they didn’t spring.”

 

Molly says, with a nod, “It would seem so.”

 

Darien tells Molly, “But you had a backup plan. While the main focus was on Suguha, they wouldn’t be focusing their attention you.”

 

Molly says, with a nod, “True enough, Darien. However, they seem to know enough about me to make sure that I can’t get deepest details of their organization.”

 

Cody says, “From that data, it seems pretty normal, but the ‘normal nature’ of that makes me suspicious.”

 

Ken says, nodding his head in agreement, “Same here, Cody.”

 

Tai says, “Well, we can all agree that something is up with UNI-SHOCKER in all sense and we have to do something about it.”

 

[Sammy] says, with a plain tone, “Well, don’t underestimate them. Remember, my Earth has lost its Sailor Scouts because of them…especially my sister.”

 

Trista says, “And we are sorry for your loss.”

[Sammy] says, with a sigh, “I know.” [Sammy] tells Serena, “Look, Meatball Head…I mean Serena…”

 

Serena responds, with a sigh, “I already know. I…I’m sorry that I snapped at you, but my wounds run deep and they haven’t time to heal since I’m getting reminders of HIS betrayal ever since I got out of that living nightmare.”

 

Tusk says, “I’ve been researching that…I’m not sure what to call it.”

 

Amara responds, “Insanity. Terrorism. Mindless mass murder. Personally, you have got your pick and they describe THAT in one form or another.”

 

Hotaru says, with a sigh, “Oh, Amara-papa…”

 

Suguha tells [Sammy], “Just watch it with sis.”

 

[Sammy] says, “I will. However, it is still…confusing as heck to learn that a version of my Meatball Head has ‘other relatives’, but then again, I can see how you two are sisters. You are more like twin sisters.”

 

Serena looks at [Sammy] a bit annoyed and Rika says, with a smirk, “You would win that bet.”

 

Kazuto asks Asuna, “So, Sugu is a top player in Ordinal Scale?”

 

Asuna says, with a nervous smile, “It surprised me too.”

 

Ange asks [Suguha], “Any result?”

 

[Suguha] responds, shaking her head, “I went into ALO and went into my…her virtual avatar of Leafa. I…I see ‘sparks’ of stuff. ALO…Leafa…They are just so familiar to me. They give me such a warm feeling…of exhilaration…and excitement.”

 

Tusk says, “Like know about it and it makes you happy.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a smile, “Happy isn’t the word that I would put it as Tusk.” [Suguha] says, with a solemn and angered tone, “Damn it! I just…I just can’t form into words. I’m just so close…and yet, I can’t seem to get it! That fucking piece of work took my past from me!”

 

Tusk says, “I’m not surprised about Embryo.”

 

Ange tells [Suguha], “Don’t worry, Suguha. We’ll get back your memories from jerk even if we have to pry it off his dead corpse.”

 

[Suguha] says, nervously, “Maybe you should kill after we get my memories back, Ange.”

 

Amara says, “Speaking of Embryo, we know what he looks like, but we can’t be sure what he is.”

 

Lita says, with a serious tone, “Well, what we do know is that he is no god.”

 

Trista says, “While that’s true, it is possible that he has extraordinary abilities that could be cosmic in scale. Remember, our powers come from cosmic forces ourselves and we aren’t deities.”

 

Darien says, with a nod, “Agreed. We can’t underestimate this guy at all as well as UNI-SHOCKER. If this organization destroyed their Earth’s Sailor Scouts and they have infiltrated into our world so well, we can’t let our guard down.”

 

Tai says, nodding his head, “No kidding.”

 

Matt says, “However, they made a big mistake trying to use technology for their own selfish gains.”

 

Davis says, with a nod, “No joke! We have a ‘personal beef’ with jerks like that! And they aren’t going to get away with it!”

 

Mina says, with a nod, “You know it!”

 

[Sammy] says, with a serious tone, “Don’t even think for a minute it will be even close to being easy like a snap. Remember what I said? My Meatball Head and my Scouts are gone! Gone for good!”

 

Serena responds, with a nod, “We know. Don’t worry.” Serena says, with a serious tone, “Trust us. We’ve been involved in ‘intense battles’ and we aren’t going to underestimate them for a minute.” The other Sailor Scouts and plenty of the Digidestined nod their head in agreement.

 

Molly says, “Well, if they can keep themselves so well-hidden, it is obvious that they know what they are doing.”

 

Yolei says, with a nod, “No kidding, Molly.” As our heroes and heroines start to discuss their ‘battle plan’, [Suguha] looks out the window in which Tusk and Ange notice this with Ange’s eyes narrowing.

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Embryo and his team, the Diamond Rose Knights, Salia, Ersha, Chris, Tanya, and Irma, are assembled together and discussing something.

 

Embryo asks Salia, “Salia, your battles plans are not going well?”

 

Salia respond, “Master Embryo…”

 

Embryo says, with a smile, “Understandable. Salia, my dear, you have to understand that data is one thing and experience is another. You would have a better chance of developing a plan for Ange and our Suguha is because you know them well from experience.” Embryo asks the other Diamond Rose Knights, “All of you have plenty of experience with Ange and our Suguha that you would be able to figure plenty about them, wouldn’t you?”

 

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

 

Chris says, “True…”

 

Embryo asks, with a smile, “But…?”

 

Chris says, “But we know that our Suguha is another version of this Earth’s Suguha Kirigaya, the powerful warrior known as Sailor Celestial, we don’t have a true understanding of her. The one that we know has no memories expect when she came to our world and found her way to Arzenal.”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, you have a point. However, something tells me that this Earth’s Suguha isn’t so far from the one that we know.”

 

Ersha asks, “So, if we know about how this Earth’s Suguha is, we can predict on how our Suguha will be once she regains her memories?”

 

Chris says, “If she regains her memories, she has been with us the whole time and she didn’t remember a thing.”

 

Embryo says, “True, but remember this Earth is similar to the one that she came from including the alternate versions of her and her family from her Earth.”

 

Salia says, with a plain tone, “Which means that there might things to jog her memory.”

 

Embryo says, with a smile, “Exactly. I am not surprised that you would be quick to figure it out, my dear Salia.”

 

Ersha says, “But Master Embryo, Ange and Suguha would know that it is us immediately the instant that they saw us.”


Chris says, “And while they don’t know that we are with you, they would immediately become suspicious at why we are here especially me.”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Very true.”

 

Just then a male voice says, “Then you should make sure that they don’t recognize you.” Everyone looks to the door and the females of the group gasp at the sight at the person at the door, but from what we can see, this person is hidden by shadows.

 

Salia yells out, “You are…!!”

 

Embryo responds, “Not the one that we are researching, correct?”

 

The male figure responds, “That’s right. I’m not my naïve and weak counterpart of this Earth.”

 

Embryo says, with a smile, “I see.”

 

Chris asks, “Then who are you?”

 

The male figure replies, “Someone that has the ability to give you the ability to truly know the Sailor Scouts despite them being different from the ones where I came from.”

 

Embryo asks the male figure, “How can you be so sure that you can help us with the Sailor Scouts with the ones from your Earth different from this Earth?”

 

The male figure responds, as we see a wicked grin, “Simple. At their very core, they are the same as they always are.”

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Somewhere within the Juuban District, Serena and Kazuto are at a street, but the streets look like a pathway with strange close to alien buildings with both Serena and Kazuto having Augma attached to their left ears areas and wearing some kind of outfits with swords strapped to them.

 

Kazuto’s outfit has a long white sleeveless jacket with a black shirt under the jacket along with black pants and black boots with the sheath for the sword strapped to his back.

 

Serena’s outfit consists of a silver and white sleeveless dress, black fingerless gloves that cover up to her elbows, brown kneepads, and brown boots that goes up half-way of her lower legs in which her sword sheath is strapped around her waist.

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “Man. This is tough.”

 

Kazuto says, “No kidding, Serena. AR battles are different from what we experienced in VR.” Over the head of Kazuto, there is a sign that says ‘Kirito’ with a number and over the head of Serena, there is the sign that says ‘Usagi’ with her own number. The scene then changes back to the regular streets of Juuban and Asuna, Rika, Keiko, and Kotone are coming up towards them.

 

Serena says, “Yeah, I know. This is just…different.”

 

Asuna says, with a smile, “You aren’t used to AR battles, Serena-chan.”

 

Kotone says, with a nod, “You just started playing after all.”

 

Rika says, with a smirk, “It must suck to start at the bottom of the barrel.”

 

Asuna says, scolding tone in her voice, “Liz…”

 

Keiko says, “I’m sure that you and Serena will get it Kazuto.”

 

Kazuto says, “Well, we don’t have time to play around Keiko.”

 

Rika says, “Never thought that I hear those words from you.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Never thought that I would say them.”

 

Serena says, “I think that there is a lot that we would never thought have happened in our lives.”

 

Kotone says, with a smile, “Anyway, we should rejoin the others.” The others nod their heads in agreement and they head out not seemly to realize that some distance away, there is someone watching them from a rooftop using a pair of binoculars.

 

The figure says, in a male voice into a smart phone, “Do it.” As Serena, Kazuto, Asuna, Keiko, Rika, and Kotone continue to walk around, both Kazuto and Serena then ‘sense’ something and they stop in their tracks.

 

Serena looks at Kazuto and she says, “You too.”

 

Kazuto nods his head and Rika says, nervously, “Uh oh.”

 

Asuna asks Kazuto, with a serious expression, “Trouble?”

 

Kazuto says, seriously, “Stay close, Asuna…All of you.” However, a rope comes from an alleyway, wraps around Keiko’s waist, and she yelps as she is pulling into the alleyway.

 

Serena says, shocked, “Keiko!”

 

Kazuto tells Kotone, “Get the others, Kotone! Hurry!”

 

Kotone responds, nervously, “R-Right!” Immediately, Serena, Kazuto, Asuna, and Rika race after Keiko and they immediately see her get dragged through a door in which they race after her. Once they get inside, the door then slams shut behind them with Rika trying to get the door open, but it is jammed shut.

 

Rika says, seriously, “We’re trapped!”

 

Kazuto says, “Figured.” Just then bright lights come on and forcing the four of them to cover their eyes in which the light dies down enough for them to see, they are shocked to see Keiko hanging from the ceiling by a rope attached to the ceiling while there is a ground of UNI-SHOCKER Combatmen on the ground surrounding her.

 

Serena says, “Keiko!”

 

Just then a male voice says, having an English accent with his Japanese, “So, this is the world famous Sailor Moon, huh? You don’t look like much.” Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see someone that looks like a guy in his late twenties with messy golden blond hair, deep brown eyes, and golden blond mustache on his face in which he is wearing a business suit.

 

Asuna asks, “Who are you?”

 

The man responds, “John Paul is the name, young lady.”

 

Kazuto asks, “British? American?”

 

The man replies, with a smirk, “Not the one that you know.” The man, John Paul, says, looking at Serena, “You look exactly like her through your files tell me that you aren’t as bright.”

 

Serena responds, “Let me guess: You are from Lunar’s Earth aren’t you?”

 

John Paul says, with a smile, “Well, it seems like you quite bright. But then OUR Sailor Moon was also a ‘very bright’ young lady and I’m sure that our ‘mutual friend’ told you how she ended up.”

 

Serena walks forward and Asuna says, concerned, “Serena-chan…”

 

Serena tells Asuna, in a serious tone, “Stay behind me.”

 

John Paul says, “If you think that help is going to come, think again. There are jamming devices making you unable to communication with anyone and any tracking devices that you have on you are worthless.”

 

There are gasps of shock from Serena and her group and Kazuto says, “This isn’t surprising.”

 

Serena is nervously thinking about getting to her broach, but she wonders if there is a ‘power blocker’ like last time and John Paul says, “I can assure you that you can transform since the device that was used last time was just a prototype and we can’t duplicate it. In fact, his careless actions set us back a bit.”

 

Kazuto says, looking at a tied up and scared Keiko, “However, she makes even a move to her broach…”

 

John Paul replies, with a nod, “You get the idea.”

 

Serena asks, seriously, “What do you want?”

 

John Paul attaches a dark grey version of the Duel Disk that Serena used when she was in 2047 AD Tokyo (A/N: Refer to Arc II: Chapter 3 of SAO Shippuden for reference.) and he says, “I believe this will give you your answer.”

 

Rika asks, annoyed, “Really? You did all this to get her to duel you?”

 

Serena says, taking out the Duel Disk that she had gotten from 2047 AD Tokyo, “I don’t think that I have a choice in this Rika.”

 

John Paul says, with a smirk, “I thought that you would see things my way.” Serena waves Asuna, Rika, and Kazuto aside in which the three of them step aside with Kazuto staying in front of Asuna and Rika while Serena and her opponent inside their dueling decks into their duel disks. When they activate them, their decks are automatically shuffled while ‘energy blades’ containing Pendulum and Monster Card Zones appear as well.

 

Kazuto thinks in his mind, “How did he get a duel disk like that? Serena got hers when she went into the future while Sugu should be the only one in this day to have a duel disk of that type other than Serena.” After John Paul’s and Serena’s duel disks’ touch screens display 4000 life-points for each duelist, both of them draw five cards from their decks.

 

“Let’s duel!” Serena and John Paul say in unison as their duel begins.

 

Starting Scores:

Serena: 4000

John Paul: 4000

 

Serena says, drawing a card, “I draw!” Serena looks at her hand and she thinks in her mind, “It is a good thing I’ve been practicing with these cards since I got back from the future.” Serena displays Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon (1200/2000) and Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon (1200/600) Pendulum Monster cards and she says, “I take scale one Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and scale eight Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and set the Pendulum Scale!” Serena puts the two cards onto the Pendulum Zones of her duel disk and it causes the word ‘Pendulum’ to appear on the Monster Card Zones of her duel disk in rainbow colors. Just then the two said monsters appear in two columns of light, one monster per column, and the number 1 below Persona Dragon and the number 8 below Mirage Dragon. As a crystal pendulum appears swinging between the two columns, Serena says, “With this, I can summon monsters that are levels two to seven for this turn! Swing, Pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Serena puts three cards on her duel disk and as a circle of light appears above her, she yells out, “Come on out guys! Krystal Dragon, Performapal Drago Remora, and shadow dragon of dual eyes, Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!” Three lights come from the circle of light and the lights are Krystal Dragon (2500/1000), a dragon made of deep blue crystal, Performapal Drago Remora (1700/1000), a somewhat cartoonish Asian-like dragon, and Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (2500/2000) appear on the field in attack mode.

 

John Paul says, plainly, “Interesting.”

 

Serena says, “Drago Remora’s ability! All dragon monsters other than itself gain five hundred attack points!” Krystal Dragon goes from 2500/1000 to 3000/1000 and Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon goes from 2500/2000 to 3000/2000 due to Drago Remora’s effect. Serena says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my spell: Pendulum Payment! Since I Pendulum Summoned this turn, I can now draw cards equal to the number of Pendulum monsters that I brought out this turn! However, I will lose life-points equal to five hundred times the number of cards in my hand at the end of the turn!” Serena draws two cards, puts them into the main slot of her disk, and she says, “I end my turn with two cards face-down.”

 

John Paul says, with a smirk, “Isn’t that interesting? That’s a new one to me.”

 

Rika says, with an annoyed tone, “I don’t like his attitude.”

 

John Paul says, drawing a card, “My turn!” John Paul inserts a card into the Field Spell slot and he says, “I activate my Field Magic: A Legendary Ocean!” Soon after, the whole area is engulfed and transformed into an underwater world filled with ruins of an ancient civilization in which everyone, ranging from Keiko, the Combatmen, the two duelists, and everyone else, in large air bubbles.

 

Asuna says, amazed, “We’re underwater!”

 

Kazuto says, “And it is water that boosts all water monsters by two hundred points.” Drago Remora then goes from 1700/1000 to 1900/1200 due to the field spell’s effect.

 

Serena says, “Of which my Drago Remora is a water monster.”

 

John Paul says, “But it is going to Davy Jones’ locker soon enough! It also lowers the level of all water monsters in our hands and field by one.” John Paul says, “Making it easy for me to bring out Legendary Fisherman in attack mode!” John Paul puts a card on his duel disk and The Legendary Fisherman (1850/1600) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

Serena says, “Too bad that while it is safe from my attacks, your own monster prevents your field spell from powering it up.”

 

John Paul says, with a smirk while putting a card on his duel disk, “True, but my Fisherman is just start! Now, I release him to play the Legendary Fisherman Three in attack mode!” There are gasps as The Legendary Fisherman ‘transforms’ into The Legendary Fisherman III (2500/2000), a darker and more ‘intense’ version of the Legendary Fisherman who is riding a deep blue whale with a jewel on its forehead, in attack mode. John Paul says, “And now, I use his ability and all of your monsters are removed from play!” There are more gasps as Legendary Fisherman III scoops all three of Serena’s monsters into his net and remove them from play.

 

Serena says, shocked, “My monsters!”

 

John Paul says, with a smirk, “Are now gone. However, my monster can’t attack on the turn that it uses this ability. However, it doesn’t mean that your troubles are over.”

 

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

 

John Paul says, “I return all of the monsters that I banish to your graveyard and all effect damage doubles this turn.” Legendary Fisherman III throws its net and three orbs goes into graveyard slot of Serena’s duel disk in which John Paul says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “And now, I use that to double the damage from Meteor of Destruction! Since you have over three thousand life-points, I normally inflict one thousand points of damage…”

 

Kazuto says, shocked, “But due to your Fisherman’s effect, the damage is doubled!”

 

John Paul says, with an evil smile, “Exactly!” Serena is then slammed with a powerful meteor strike and she screams out as she is hit causing her to be slammed with 2000 points of damage to her life-points.

 

Asuna says, nervously, “Serena-chan!” When the smoke and dust clear from inside of the ‘bubble’ that she is in, Serena’s form is smoking.

 

Rika says, nervously, “Hey! That doesn’t seem like Solid Vision!”

 

John Paul says, with an evil smirk, “This is quite a practical use for the REAL SOLID VISION system in development.”

 

There are surprised looks and Kazuto says, shocked, “I thought that looked familiar since something similar, if not the same system, must have been used in the duel with Sugu and Kaiou!”

 

John Paul says, with a wicked smirk, “And the Moon Princess is feeling the fruits of her uncle’s labors once again.” Serena sneers at John Paul’s comment and he asks, mockingly, “Did I hit a sore point?”

 

Serena says, annoyed, “Just make your move!”

 

John Paul says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “As you wish, your majesty. I end my turn with a face-down card.”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 2000

John Paul: 4000

 

Rika says, annoyed, “Jerk.”

 

Serena says, drawing a card, “My turn!” Serena says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “I reveal my trap: Pendulum Reborn!” One of Serena’s face-down is revealed to be the Pendulum Reborn trap card and Serena says, “Now, I can revive one Pendulum monster in my grave or face-up in my Extra Deck! And I choose Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!” Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon (2500/2000) returns to the field in attack mode. Serena says, putting one card into the main slot, “Next, I play Pot of Greed and draw two cards from my deck!” Serena draws two cards from her deck, looks at them, and she says, putting one card into the main slot, “Next, I activate my Life Restitution spell card! Since your life-points are higher than mine, I get one card for every one grand of life-points more that you have!” Serena draws two more cards and she yells out, as the crystal pendulum reappears on her field, “And I use my already set Pendulum Scale! Swing, pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Serena puts two cards on her duel disk as a circle of light appears above her and she yells out, “Race to my side: Speedroid Passing Rider and Speedroid Domino Butterfly!” Two lights come from the circle of light and become Speedroid Passing Rider (2200/2000), a blue and white airplane/glider machine monster, and Speedroid Domino Butterfly (100/300), machine-like butterfly with domino shaped wings coming out of its back, in attack mode.

 

Rika says, amazed, “That’s new.”

 

Serena says, “And I tune my level two Domino Butterfly with my Passing Rider!” Domino Butterfly turns into two stars that turn into two rings that surround Passing Rider, making it become transparent, and when a column of light appears on the field, Serena takes a Synchro Monster card from her Extra Deck. Serena chants out, “Spread your beautiful wings at the speed of sound and blaze through your enemies like a bullet! Synchro Summon!” Serena puts the Synchro Monster card on her disk and she yells out, “Shoot to victory: Clear Wing Fast Dragon!” Out of the light, Clear Wing Fast Dragon (2500/2000) appears on the field in attack mode.

 

John Paul says, “It is too bad that my monster can’t be destroyed by battle or effects.”

 

Serena retorts, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Who said I was aiming for your monster?” John Paul gives a surprised look as Serena says, “I activate my Cross Attack spell card! Since I have two monsters of equal attack point, I make one unable to attack this turn to allow the other to attack you directly! And I choose Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!” Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon roars out as it jumps on Clear Wing Fast Dragon’s back.

 

Kazuto thinks in his mind, excitedly, “Great job, Serena! Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon’s ability allows it to deal twelve hundred points of damage for every Odd-Eyes Pendulum Monster in the Pendulum Zones and you have two! If this attack goes through, he’s finished!”

 

Serena yells out, “Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon, direct attack! Phantom Strike Burst!” Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon leaps off Clear Wing’s back and fires a dark flame stream right at John Paul.

 

John Paul, however, smirks, and retorts, while pushing a button on his disk’s touch screen, “I activate my trap: Tornado Wall!” John Paul’s face-down card is revealed to be the Tornado Wall continuous trap card and John Paul says, with a wicked smile, “When I have Umi on the field, this trap card prevents me from getting damage and my ocean counts as Umi!” A wall of underwater whirlpools protects John Paul from Phantom Dragon’s attack.

 

Rika says, annoyed, “Oh, man! She had him!”

 

Asuna says, shaking her head, “I think that this is his plan all along, Liz. He has a creature that can’t be destroyed and now, he has a defense that prevents him from getting damaged at all!”

 

Serena says, with a growl, “I…I end my turn.”

 

John Paul says, drawing a card, “My turn!” John Paul says, putting one card into the main slot, “I play my Misfortune spell card! Now, my monsters can’t attack this turn, but in return, your own monsters inflict damage to you…in the form of half of their original attack power and I choose…Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon!” Just then dark flames come off Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon and Serena yelps as they burn her as they give her 1250 life-points of damage.

 

Kazuto, Asuna, Rika, and Keiko say in unison, shocked, “Serena!”

 

John Paul says, “That’s enough for now.”

 

Current Score:

Serena: 750

John Paul: 4000

 

Serena says, drawing a card, “My turn!” Serena looks at the card and she says, solemnly while putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I place one card face-down and end my turn.”

 

Rika asks, confused, “Huh?”

 

Kazuto says, with a snarl, “There is nothing that Serena can do. His monster can’t be destroyed by battle or card effects.”

 

Asuna says, adding in, “And his trap card prevents him from getting damage.”

 

John Paul asks, tauntingly, “Is that all that you have? I’ve heard that you were far more powerful and skilled than our Sailor Moon, but I guess that was a mistake.” John Paul draws a card and he says, “My move!” John Paul says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “I play Card of Sanctity! Now, both of us have to draw from our decks until we have six cards!” John Paul and Serena draw from their decks until they have six cards in their hands and John Paul says, putting another card into the main slot of his disk, “Next, I play Magical Stone Evacuation! By discarding two cards from my hand, I get one spell card back from my grave!”

 

The others gasp and Rika says, nervously, “That’s not good!”

 

John Paul discards two cards, a card comes out of his disk’s graveyard slot, and he says, putting that card into the main slot of his disk, “You have a right to be worried since I play my Misfortune spell that I just got back. And now, her majesty loses life-points equal to half of her Phantom Dragon’s attack points!”

 

As dark flames come from Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon, Serena says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “Wrong! I activate my trap: Damage Polarizer!” Serena’s face-down card is revealed to be the Damage Polarizer counter-trap card and she says, “Effect damage is negated and both of us draw a card!” A reflective shield protects Serena from the dark flames while both her and her opponent draw a card from their respective decks.

 

John Paul asks, with a confident smile, “Do you think that it is that easy?”

 

Serena asks, confused, “What?”

 

John Paul says, putting one card into the main slot of his disk, “You are going to find out in your next turn.”

 

Serena says, drawing a card, “My move!”

 

John Paul says, pushing a button on his duel disk’s touch screen, “I activate my trap: Combat Penalty!” John Paul’s face-down card is revealed to be a continuous trap card showing a picture of a soldier getting ‘chewed out’ by his commanding officer in which John Paul says, “If you have monsters on the field in attack mode, you lose five hundred life-points per monster that doesn’t attack!”

 

There are gasps and Rika says, “Serena only has a little over seven hundred life-points left!”

 

Kazuto says, “However, if she attacks, she will lose her dragons!”

 

John Paul says, with a smirk, “That’s right. Plus, my trap card makes it unable for monsters to be in defense mode as long as it remains on the field. I have to discard one card for every monster on the field at the End Phase of my turn, but it is a price that I’m willing to pay.” Serena winches at this and John Paul says, with a wicked smile, “It looks you are in a no-win scenario princess. We have read that you have worked hard to become ‘stronger’ and look where it has gotten you. Your uncle has betrayed you and left you in a nightmare for two long years where was little other than death. So many people died and despite working so hard, there was only death waiting for them in the end.”

 

Serena flinches from that and Kazuto, Asuna, and Rika glare at him with Rika says, angrily, “Jerk!”

 

John Paul says, looking at Keiko, “You failed them all, Sailor Moon. And now, once again, you are going to fail.”

 

Serena yells out, strongly, “No!”

 

Asuna yells out, strongly and angrily, “Leave Keiko alone!”

 

John Paul tells Asuna, “And what are you going to do about ‘Miss Flash’? This isn’t the virtual world. You have no power here compared her majesty here.” Asuna flinches from that and John Paul tells Serena, “There is nothing that you can do. For all of your power, you are truly powerless. You couldn’t do anything to save those that died in SAO and you couldn’t stop ‘Death Gun’ from nearly continuing the legacy of SAO in Gun Gale Online. You can’t do anything for anyone.” This strikes Serena at her core and as her hands shake, she remembers what happened for the past around four years starting with the beginning with SAO and going through to today.

 

Serena thinks in her mind, her mind filled with panic, “I can’t…I can’t let that happen again! I will never let something like THAT ever happen again! I will protect Keiko! I will save Keiko! I will protect and save EVERYONE!!!” Serena then puts her free hand over her heart as she feels a ‘searing pain’ going through it and she thinks in her mind, “My heart…It feels…it feels like it is on fire…is this some kind of…of heart attack or something…?!” Serena then feels a throbbing in her head and she grunts out, “My head…feels…feel s like it is going to…to split open…Argh!!”

 

Serena holds her head with her free hand and Asuna asks, worriedly, “Serena-chan?”

 

Kazuto asks, worriedly, “What’s wrong?” Just then Kazuto, Asuna, and Rika gasp as a dark violet aura surrounds Serena and John Paul gives a confused look as Serena’s head is lowered and he can’t see her face and eyes.

 

Serena says, with out of character darker version of his voice, “You really think that you are some kind of predator, huh? Well, you are nothing more…than MY PREY!!!” Serena raises her head to show her golden crescent moon sigil on her forehead which is switching between gold and dark violet in color while her eyes give off a sinister violet glow.

 

Keiko sees this and she thinks in her mind, nervously and worriedly, “Serena?”

 

Serena says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Spiral Flame Strike spell card! Since I have an Odd-Eyes monster on my field, I can target one card on the field and destroy it! And I choose your trap: Tornado Wall!” John Paul winches as Odd-Eyes Phantom Dragon unleashes a flame strike that destroys his face-up trap card.

 

Rika says, with a smile, “She got him!”

 

Asuna says, nervously, “Yeah…”

 

Serena says, in her darker tone of voice, “What’s the matter? Didn’t see this one coming? Too bad! It is going to get much worse!” Serena’s lips then curl into completely out of character cruel smile and she says, still in her darker tone of voice while putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Pendulum Reset card! I return one Pendulum Monster in my Pendulum Zones to my hand and put another Pendulum Monster card of the same scale in its place! And I return Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon to my hand!” Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon vanishes from the column of light and Serena says, putting Stargazer Magician (1200/2400) Pendulum Monster card on her Pendulum Zone, “And replace it with Stargazer Magician!” Stargazer Magician appears in the column of light that Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon was in and there is the same number 1 below it and Serena says, as the crystal pendulum appears between the two columns of light, “Swing, pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Serena puts two cards on her duel disk as a circle of light appears above her and she shouts out, with a dark serious tone, “Come down and serve your princess, my monster servants! Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and Performapal Fugolem!” Two lights come down from the circle of light and they appear as Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon (1200/2000) and Performapal Fugolem (1600/1000) in attack mode.

 

Kazuto says, worriedly, “Serena…”

 

Serena says, with a dark serious tone, “When Fugolem is Pendulum Summoned, I can Fusion Summon with him, but the other monster has to be a Dragon type monster! I fuse my Fugolem with Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon!” Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and Performapal Fugolem goes into a fusion vortex as dark energy comes onto Serena’s duel disk and takes the form of a new Fusion Monster card in which she yells out, with a dark strong tone, “Now, meet the monster of your doom! I Fusion Summon the dragon with hungered fangs: Starve Venom Fusion Dragon!” Out of the fusion vortex, Starve Venom Fusion Dragon (2800/2000), a large dark violet dragon with multiple red orbs all over its body and a mouth full of fangs as well as similarities to a pray mantis’ mouth, appears on the field in attack mode!

 

Rika asks, nervously, “What is that dragon?”

 

Kazuto says, nervously, “Big trouble, Liz.”

 

Serena says, with a dark stern tone, “Starve Venom’s ability! When summoned to the field, until the end of this turn, it takes on the power of a special summoned monster on my opponent’s field and you can already guess who my dragon is feasting upon!” John Paul winches as dark energy goes from Legendary Fisherman III into Starve Venom causing it to go from 2800/2000 to 5300/2000 and Serena says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Synchro Gift spell card! Now, I transfer the power of my Clear Wing to Starve Venom!” Clear Wing Fast Dragon goes from 2500/2000 to 0/2000 while Starve Venom Fusion Dragon goes from 5300/2000 to 8800/2000!

 

John Paul asks, stunned, “What?”

 

As a dark voice rings in Serena’s mind saying ‘Destroy him’ over and over again, Serena yells out, with a dark sinister smile, “This is what happens when thugs like you pick on other people…You always get your just desserts! And my dragon is ready to feast! On your despair and your soul!”

 

Rika yells out, “Okay, that’s not like Serena at all!”

 

Asuna shouts out, worriedly, “Serena-chan!”

 

Serena roars out, with a dark strong tone, “Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, attack Legendary Fisherman and finish this fool off once and for all!”

 

Kazuto yells out, stunned, “Serena!” However, she doesn’t listen as Starve Venom Fusion Dragon attacks Legendary Fisherman III in which the attack engulfs it and continues onto John Paul until it slams into him causing him to scream out as he is sent flying out of his bubble while vaporizing a good portion of the Combatmen as well as John Paul loses 6300 life-points, ending the duel immediately.

 

Final Score:

Serena: 750

John Paul: 0

 

With the end of the duel, the Solid Vision projections vanish quickly and Serena grunts out as her sigil vanishes from her forehead along with the dark aura as she starts to collapse to the ground.

 

Kazuto, Asuna, and Rika say in unison, concerned, “Serena!” But then there is a loud ‘crash’ as Sailor Celestial, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Sun, and Angewomon burst into the building with Sailor Sun cutting down Keiko and Angewomon catching her into her arms.

 

Angewomon asks, “Are you okay?”

 

Keiko responds, with a nod, “I’m okay, Angewomon.” At the same time, Tuxedo Mask had caught Serena into his arms.

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, concerned, “Serena?!” Serena moans as she lies in Tuxedo Mask’s arms unconscious due to her fainting.

 

Sailor Celestial asks Kazuto, “Big brother, what happened here?”

 

Sailor Sun says, pointing ahead of her, “Better save the full explanations for later.” Everyone looks to see a lot of UNI-SHOCKER Combatmen coming out of the shadows and preparing for a battle.

 

Just then a familiar male voice says, “Leave these goons to me.” Soon after, Kamen Rider Lunar leaps into the fight by coming down from the ceiling and slamming his armored foot into the face of one of the Combatmen and he then proceeds to single handily fight as well as beat all of the Combatmen.

 

Sailor Sun says, with an amazed look on her face, “He’s good.”

 

Angewomon says, “Not surprising since he has been fighting them for a long while back on his Earth.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Don’t let your guard down.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, nodding her head, “Right.” Just then Sailor Celestial gets a ‘feeling’ and she starts to look around, but then all of the remaining Combatmen leap away and everyone hears clapping.

 

Then a male voice exactly like Tuxedo Mask’s voice says, “Very good, brat. You haven’t changed one bit.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, with a snarl, “You!” Out of the shadows, the remaining Combatmen move away to reveal someone that looks exactly like Darien Shields, but he has a sinister and cruel look on his face while Tuxedo Mask, the Darien Shields that we know, who has a strong yet gentle look on his face.

 

This ‘alternate Darien Shields’ says, with a wicked smile, “Been a while.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, with an angered snarl, “Not long enough for me, you bastard!”

 

Sailor Sun says, shocked, “He looks like…!!” Sailor Sun looks between Tuxedo Mask, who has a shocked look on his face, and the ‘alternate Darien Shields’.

 

Kazuto says, with a serious tone, “He must be the other Darien Shields…The one from Kamen Rider Lunar’s universe.”

 

The ‘alternate Darien Shields’, this one being from the Earth that Kamen Rider Lunar is from, says, “Very quick on the uptake. I keep wondering if there is a detective blood in your family bloodline.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar yells out, angrily, “What the fuck are you doing here?”

 

The ‘other Darien Shields’, whom we will call [Darien] not to confuse him with this Earth’s Darien/Tuxedo Mask, responds, “Why do you think brat?” [Darien] looks at Sailor Celestial and he says, “And you must be the infamous Sailor Celestial, the mighty Sailor Soldier of Reality, huh? I expected…someone taller.”

 

Sailor Celestial retorts, with an annoyed and sarcastic tone, “Really? That comment is older than my grandfather.”

 

[Darien] says, with a shrug, “Guess I’m kind of ‘old-fashioned’ then.” [Darien] says, looking at Serena, “Anyway, I was curious about her. When I got here, I thought that these girls were no different than those wretches and my former girlfriend, but I have to say that she is indeed…something else.” [Darien] gains a dark lustful look in his eyes and he says, “She is nothing like my Meatball Head. Sure, she has a lot like with her, but this Meatball Head is much different. She has…what you call a ‘dark flame’…the sheer brutality…and ruthlessness…I have to say that it has something of an…allure to it.”

 

Tuxedo Mask hugs the unconscious Serena closely and Kamen Rider Lunar yells out, strongly, “She is nothing like you, asshole!”

 

[Darien] retorts, in a dark taunting tone, “Did you kiss your mother with that mouth?”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar glares at [Darien] with an intense anger and rage and [Darien] says, looking at Serena and Tuxedo Mask, “She is too good for you. You may be another version of me, but comparing her to you…you aren’t even in her league weakling.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, with a glare, “What?”

 

[Darien] responds, “Do I need to spell it out for you? While you were just sitting by at her bedside and tiddling your thumbs, she was fighting for her life for two years in a hell created by a member of her own family and who was her ‘royal father’ in her life as a Moon Princess. An ‘ultimate betrayal’ if you ever seen one. She fought so hard, above and beyond what my Meatball Head would have done, and she even crushed her own uncle and former father. And even now, she is pushing herself to be stronger and stronger. She doesn’t want to be stronger…No, she NEEDS to be stronger.”

 

Tuxedo Mask looks down at the unconscious Serena with Kazuto thinking, “And plenty of us know why.” Kazuto glances at Asuna and Rika, who show that they have similar thoughts as Kazuto has right now.

 

[Darien] tells his counterpart, “And she has a ruthlessly that even she may not to admit that she has. And she isn’t stronger just in terms of raw power. She is stronger in terms of will and ‘presence’ of character. She is becoming a person where she commands something and you do it with no ‘ifs’, ‘ands’, or big fat ‘buts’. A true dominating and ruling queen. You, on the other hand, are still the ‘pretty boy prince’ and like I said, you aren’t in her league. Not just because of the level of power that you have compared to her, but strength of character.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, “What?”

 

[Darien] yells out, “Do I need to spell it out for you, moron?! Man, was I so naïve and idiotic when I was you? Your Meatball Head has what it takes to ‘get the job’ done and you don’t! Not just in terms of raw power, but the willingness to do what it takes…even if she is still restraining herself.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar shouts out, strongly and angrily, “Don’t you do dare compare her to you, ass!”

 

[Darien] retorts, “Really now? You think that my betrayal was something? You’ve learned about this Meatball Head and her abilities, didn’t you? She is a lot stronger than your sister inside and out! I mean, she survived the betrayal that she went through while yours…you know.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar yells out, angrily, “You…!!” Just then there is a beeping sound and Sailor Celestial takes out her communicator and activates it seeing Sailor Mercury’s face on the screen.

 

Sailor Mercury says over the communicator, “Celestial!”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “What is it Mercury?”

 

Sailor Mercury says, “We’re under attack! Digimon and Combatmen are attacking us and they seem to be targeting your counterpart and her friends!”

 

There are gasps and Kamen Rider Lunar says, glaring at [Darien], “You…!!”

 

[Darien] responds, with an evil smirk, “It is called ‘divide and conquer’.”

 

Angewomon says, “It was a trap! To separate our strongest Sailor Scouts from everyone else!”

 

[Darien] says, snapping his fingers, “Indeed.” Just then a lot more Combatmen appear and [Darien] points to the others in which the Combatmen charge with Sailor Sun, Sailor Celestial, Angewomon, and Kamen Rider Lunar fighting against them.

 

Kamen Rider Lunar shouts out, “Get her out of here!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “But…!!”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar yells out, strongly, “Don’t be stupid, pal! You know that your fucking bastard counterpart will come after her! If you damn well love her, then give her protection!” Tuxedo Mask gives a look of surprise and he then nods his head in agreement as Sailor Sun, Sailor Celestial, Angewomon, and Kamen Rider Lunar continue their fight with the Combatmen.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “Let’s move!” He then escorts Keiko, who has been released from her bindings, Kazuto, Rika, and Asuna out through the hole that the two Sailor Scouts, one Digimon, and Kamen Rider Lunar with Tuxedo Mask made earlier to enter the building in which Asuna can’t help to look back at the fight and as well as look at Serena.

 

Asuna thinks in her mind, “I can’t believe how helpless I am. Kirito-kun’s sister…Serena-chan…They are all fighting hard. I really wish to help them…to protect them…” What she didn’t notice was a light glow coming from her forehead. On the meanwhile, the heroes that stayed behind are fighting the seemly endless horde of UNI-SHOCKER Combatmen in which [Darien] smirks as he walks away.

 

Kamen Rider Lunar shouts out, strongly, “You coward! Don’t you dare turn you back to me!” Kamen Rider Lunar prepares to chase after him, but some of the Combatmen go into ‘rocket mode’ and he grunts as he is forced back as the two Sailor Scouts, one Digimon, and Kamen Rider Lunar continue to fight the horde as the evil counterpart of our Earth Prince heads off to who knows where, but it makes our heroes and heroines quite concerned.

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District, Game Center Crown

 

In the area of Juuban that’s in and around the Game Center Crown arcade, there is chaos and pandemonium as there are a legion of UNI-SHOCKER Combatmen and Digimon fighting against Sailor Nebula, the Inner Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts, Paildramon, and WarGreymon with Tai, Ken, and Davis in front of Ange, Tusk, Vivian, and [Suguha].

 

After shocking three of them with her lightning, Sailor Jupiter says, “There is so many of them!”

 

Sailor Venus yells out, “Jupiter, watch out!”

 

Hyper Cannon!

 

A group of Tankmon unleash their shell for Sailor Jupiter, but WarGreymon easily slashes through them and cause them to explode before they even got close to Jupiter.

 

Tai says, “Nice work, WarGreymon!”

 

WarGreymon asks Sailor Jupiter, “Are you okay?”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, with a grin, “I could have handled it, but thanks for watching my back.”

 

Desperado Blaster!

 

Paildramon unleashes a powerful barrage of ‘energy bullets’ from his blasters that slam into plenty of Digimon causing them to be deleted immediately.

 

Davis says, excitedly, “Way to go, partner!”

 

Ken tells Davis, “Don’t celebrate just yet, Davis.”

 

As the two Digimon and four Sailor Scouts continue to fight, Ange says, angrily, “I’m not just going to sit here!”

 

Tusk tells Ange, “What can we do Ange? We have no weapons and yours and Suguha’s mails are damaged! Not to mention that we have no experience fighting creatures like these!” Ange gives Tusk an annoyed look, but she lowers her head and holds her fist.

 

Mercury Icicle Shower!

 

Sailor Mercury creates an icicle storm that freezes a group of Combatmen, but another group goes into their ‘missile mode’ and rocket at Sailor Mercury in which she yelps as they hit all around with the explosions being strong enough to send her flying onto the ground, hard.

 

Sailor Venus says, shocked, “Mercury!”

 

Sailor Jupiter uses her close range combat martial arts to beat down several more Combatmen and she yells out, “There is just too many of them!”

 

Sailor Mars says, “No kidding!” Just then a powerful rainbow colored thunderstorm hits the Combatmen and Digimon with multiple ‘elemental forces’ while a rain of ‘light arrow’ does the same in which Eternal Sailor Nebula and Valkyrie Sailor Orion leap onto the scene.

 

Sailor Venus says, excitedly, “Nebula! Orion!”

 

Sailor Jupiter says, with a smirk, “About time!”

 

Sailor Orion says, plainly, “Sorry for the delay.”

 

Sailor Nebula helps Sailor Mercury to her feet and she asks, “Are you okay, Mercury?”

 

Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, “Yes, I am. Thank you, Nebula.” Sailor Mercury then sees a sneak attack from the corner of her eye, but before she could speak, Sailor Nebula creates a powerful twister that sends the Digimon and Combatmen high into the sky before they explode in a massive explosion.

 

Sailor Mercury gives a look of surprise and Sailor Nebula says, with a smile, “When you are a solo Scout, you tend to learn a few things.” Sailor Mercury nods her head in understanding and rejoins her fellow Scouts and the two Digimon for the fight as other Digimon and their Digidestined partner are coming into the fight as well, but plenty of the Scouts can’t help to wonder and worry about our Moon Princess.

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Speaking of said Moon Princess, some distance away, Tuxedo Mask is carrying a still unconscious Serena with Kazuto, Asuna, Rika, and Keiko as they meet up with Kotone.

 

Kotone asks, concerned upon seeing Serena, “Is she…?”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod and slight nervous tone, “Yeah, she is. She is just…exhausted.”

 

Asuna says, “It was a trap to put Serena-chan through an…ordeal.” Kotone gives a confused look, but she decides to go with them, however, when she turns around, she gasps to see what or should I say, who is in front of them. The others look to see someone that looks like another Kamen Rider coming towards them.

 

This Kamen Rider has a black bodysuit, black gloves with gold vambraces, black boots, golden armor that's similar to Shadow Moon with the Terra symbol on the side of belt buckle, a golden King Stone Driver that's similar to the ones that Kamen Rider Black and Shadow Moon have with a purple King Stone in the middle. The helmet has a motif that is a mix between a grasshopper and a king, it has; purple eyes, a mouthpiece that looks like an open mouth with four sharp teeth, two antennae, and the top of the head looks like a crooked/corrupted crown.

 

Rika asks, “Another one?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, glaring, “Not just another one!”

 

This Kamen Rider says, in a familiar dark tone, “You are perceptive, aren’t you?”

 

Asuna says, shocked, “He sounds like…”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Yeah, my ‘evil twin’.”

 

The Kamen Rider responds, “Evil? I believe you have that wrong, my weak naïve ‘twin’. I have improved the world that I came from.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, plainly, “Not from ‘he’ told me.”

 

The Kamen Rider replies, “He should have remained a puppet and his Meatball Head sister shouldn’t have abandoned me.”

 

Tuxedo Mask asks, sternly, “Abandoned you?!”

 

The Kamen Rider yells out, angrily, “Yes, abandoned ME! I gained this power in order to help her and she and her worthless little girlfriends betray me a drop of the hat! I gave everything for her and just becoming stronger, she showed her ‘concern’! That little bitch wanted me to remain her little ‘puppet ruler’ while she gained control over MY planet! SHE BETRAYED ME FOR MY PLANET’S THRONE TO TURN INTO HER PRECIOUS NEW ‘SILVER MILLENNIUM’!!” Everyone else winches from his dark angered tone and the powerful dark aura that’s starting to surround him in which he says, in a dark stern tone, “Well, I said ‘fuck her’ and gave her and her worthless girlfriend what they deserved! Earth belongs to Earthlings and they were buried with their precious Silver Millennium where they belong!” The Kamen Rider says, “And to make sure of that, I got rid of my identity as ‘Tuxedo Mask’, Sailor Moon’s personal ‘boy toy’. I am my own independent man and I am Kamen Rider Terra, the heir and only heir and ruler of my planet Earth!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a scoff, “And what? I’m supposed to feel sorry for you? This just shows me on how pathetic you really are.”

 

Kamen Rider Terra responds, annoyed, “What was that?!”

 

Tuxedo Mask responds, “If you truly loved your Sailor Moon, then you would have known and remembered that she is never like that! No matter what timeline she is, she only cares for everyone else especially the people that she loves! All she did was to be concerned about you and you betrayed her like, as you said, on a drop of a hat!”

 

Kamen Rider Terra says, angrily, “She betrayed me first!”

 

Tuxedo Mask retorts, “YOU BETRAYED HER FIRST!!!”

 

Kamen Rider Terra retorts, annoyed, “Think that you are such a ‘big man’ with the so-called ‘moral high ground’. Let’s see you back it up.” Kamen Rider Terra makes a motion to ‘come and get him’ in which Tuxedo Mask doesn’t do a thing, but he then gives the still unconscious Serena to Kazuto.

 

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, “Get her out of here.”

 

Kazuto asks, surprised, “Huh?”

 

Tuxedo Mask tells Kazuto, seriously, “Just do it!” Tuxedo Mask then moves off to face Kamen Rider Terra.

 

Kamen Rider Terra asks, with a taunting tone, “Are you going to use one of those roses against me?” Tuxedo Mask then attacks with a fist in which Kamen Rider Terra easily blocks and easily grabs onto his wrist in which Tuxedo Mask growls in pain as Kamen Rider Terra easily starts to crush his wrist. Kamen Rider Terra says, with a dark sly tone, “Pathetic.”

 

Tuxedo Mask retorts, “You think so?” Tuxedo Mask then uses a judo move on Kamen Rider Terra and flips him onto the ground, but Kamen Rider Terra spins himself along the ground and knocks Tuxedo Mask off his feet in which he gets to his feet only for Tuxedo Mask to ruthlessly get pummeled and thrown on top of a car which caves the roof in due to the sheer force of the impact. Kamen Rider Terra then ruthlessly throws Tuxedo Mask off the roof of the car that he was slammed into and slams Tuxedo Mask into side of another car.

 

Kamen Rider Terra then starts to ruthlessly knee Tuxedo Mask in the waist and he yells out, “This shows that you are weak! Useless! Nothing than a pincushion for your princesses’ girlfriends! You are nothing!”

 

The badly beaten Tuxedo Mask slumps down in pain and Kotone says, fearfully, “Oh no!” Kamen Rider Terra then turns the others, who are trying to take Serena away, and they yelp as they know that they know that they have been spotted.

 

Rika says, nervously, “Uh oh.” They try to run, but Kamen Rider Terra, with incredible speed and agility, were on them in moment and knocks them all to the ground causing Kazuto to drop the still unconscious Serena.

 

Tuxedo Mask, stunned, but still conscious, looks to see what’s happening and he says, weakly, “No…” He tries to get on his feet, but he has been badly beaten and he struggle to move much less stand as Kamen Rider Terra reaches out for the unconscious Serena, however, Asuna grabs the offending arm.

 

Kamen Rider Terra says, annoyed, “Wench! Let go of me!” Kamen Rider Terra then starts to yank Asuna’s hair causing her to yelp in pain causing Kazuto to get enraged and he charges at Kamen Rider Terra, but he is slapped back Kazuto causing him to get knocked to the ground and stunning him.

 

Kotone, Rika, and Keiko say, worriedly, “No!”

 

Asuna says, concerned, “Kirito-kun!”

 

Asuna yelps out in pain as her hair gets yanked by Kamen Rider Terra and he says, “You won’t get in my way! This Meatball Head has proven to be far better than the smart aleck Meatball Head of my Earth! Sure, she isn’t just as smart, but hey, no one is ever perfect! Perfection is just an illusion! If you want to stick around, you need to grow and keep growing until you truly croak! And unlike my Meatball Head, this one has so much gorgeous potential! I will help her see that I’m better than that weak version of myself!”

 

Asuna shouts out, determination in her voice and expression, “No! You will just cause Serena-chan more pain! I won’t allow it! For…For two years, I had to see her shed tears of guilt, horror, and pain while we were trapped in Aincrad after the betrayal of her uncle!” Asuna then remembers what happened in SAO and specifically, her memories of Serena as Usagi, the ‘White Valkyrie’ of SAO, in which she says, as a glow blazes from her forehead, “I refuse to see that again! I will make sure that she will never have to shed those tears ever again!” Just then Asuna gets engulfs in a bright glow that throws Kamen Rider Lunar off her and forces everyone else still conscious to cover their eyes.

 

Kazuto yells out, surprised, “Asuna!”

 

Kotone asks, “What’s happening to her?”

 

Rika retorts, confused, “You are asking me?”

 

Keiko asks, in a curious tone, “Could she be…?” When the light fades away and everyone is able to see, they find a brand new Sailor Scout standing in front of them.

 

This newest Sailor Scout has Asuna’s long chestnut hair in her hairstyle, but she has a five pointed golden star sigil on her forehead, light pink colored lips, golden star earrings attached to her ears, her head is covered in beautiful silver Y-style barbute armor helmet with a silver wing attached to each side of the helmet, she has white and red plate armor that covers her chest and waist and tightly fits over all of her arms, in the chest area of her armor, there is a broach that’s a white heart shaped broach with a large golden star jewel attached to it with what looks like Rainbow Dragon surrounding the heart with a pair of crossed rapiers in the center as well as eight silver feathered wings attached to the sides of the broach, she has a red armored skirt with two rapiers similar to Lambent Light, Asuna’s final SAO rapier, attached along with a weapon that looks like the Pink Samurai Ranger’s Sky Fan, she has red armored kneepads, she has white armored high-heeled boots that goes up to one-half of her lower legs, and finally, she has eight beautiful glittering huge and fluffy silver feathered wings coming out of her back.

 

Kamen Rider Lunar asks, stunned, “What?”

 

Kazuto says, amazed, “Asuna…”

 

Rika yells out, shocked, “Holy crap! Asuna is…is…is a Sailor Scout! A Valkyrie one too!”

 

Kamen Rider Terra says, “Ha! I’m not impressed!” Kamen Rider Terra launches a punch at the new Sailor Scout and she catches it with her armored hand in which the sheer force of the impact causing a shockwave that causes quite a number of windows to shatter and the concrete ground around them to crack, but the new Sailor Star doesn’t even flinch.

 

The new Sailor Scout says, in Asuna’s voice, “My turn.” The new Sailor Scout lands a powerful punch that not only knocks the wind out of Kamen Rider Terra, but sends him flying around a mile before he slams back down to the ground with a nasty ‘thud’.

 

Kotone says, shocked, “Incredible!”

 

Rika says, with a smirk, “What did you expect? She is a super-powered heroine now.”

 

The new Sailor Scouts looks at her fist in shock and Kamen Rider Terra yells out, angrily, “Who do you think you are?!”

 

The new Sailor Scout responds, “I’m…My name is Valkyrie Sailor Star and you are not going to hurt the people I care about. You may be another version of the man that Serena-chan loves, but it is obvious that you ARE NOT him. He is ten times the man that you are!”

 

Kamen Rider Terra responds, “He is better than me?! Ha! I’m not the one looking like a bloody mess!”

 

A female voice shouts out, “But you will be buster!” Kamen Rider Terra then dodges a sphere of elemental energy that creates a strong explosion when it hits where he was in which Kamen Rider Lunar, Angewomon, Sailor Sun, and Sailor Celestial appear on the scene.

 

Kamen Rider Terra says, “Took you long enough!”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, with a snarl, “Terra!”

 

Sailor Sun asks, “You know him?”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, “That the Kamen Rider form of my world’s Darien.”

 

Sailor Sun and Sailor Celestial gasp in shock and Kamen Rider Terra says, “You would think that I would stay in that form that everyone mocked in? Think again! Now, I represent strength!”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, “You mean you represent betrayal for power?! You are far from a representation of strength!”

 

Kamen Rider Terra says, looking at his opponents, “This isn’t over.” He then creates a smokescreen and when the smokescreen is gone, Kamen Rider Terra is gone too.

 

Sailor Celestial looks at Kazuto and she asks, “Are you okay, big brother?”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “I’m okay.”

 

Rika says, pointing to Tuxedo Mask, “But he has seen better days.” The others look to see the battered Tuxedo Mask, who is barely able to get to his feet, in which Sailor Celestial goes over to him.

 

Sailor Celestial asks, concerned, “Are you all right?”

 

Tuxedo Mask responds, “I…I’ll live.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, using her powers to heal Tuxedo Mask, “It is a good thing Sailor Saturn gave me lessons on how to use my healing powers.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, “You tried to take him by yourself without knowing his strength? Seriously?! As you have stated before, he isn’t you! You should have remembered what I said about him!”

 

Rika says, “Hey! He did it to protect the girl that he loved!”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar responds, “And how would his Meatball Head feel if he ended up a bloody stain on the ground?” Tuxedo Mask’s eyes widen and Kamen Rider Lunar tells him, “Know your limits or you are going to end up giving your version of my sister more pain. Like you said, he may be another version of you, but he isn’t you. He has no qualms about kicking your butt to the ground and in fact, for him, it would be a pleasure. And what would happen to your Serena then?” Kamen Rider Lunar then walks away and Tuxedo Mask, who has recovered thanks to Sailor Celestial’s powers, has a deep thoughtful expression on his face as he looks at his still unconscious girlfriend and future wife. On the meanwhile, there are people observing them from a good sized distance.

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Returning to UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, [Darien] is stretching out with Embryo and his five female ‘assistants’ walking into the room.

 

Embryo asks, “Quite the surprise, huh?”

 

[Darien] asks, “What are you getting at?”

 

Embryo says, with a smile, “Now, there is this new Sailor Scout added to their forces and she is already one of these ‘Valkyries’ as well.”

 

[Darien] says, “A rookie.”

 

Embryo responds, “Rookie when it comes to be one of the Sailor Senshi, yes. Rookie as a ‘warrior’, no. Remember, Asuna Yuuki is a survivor of SAO as well as this Sailor Moon and remember, how Sailor Moon’s experience in SAO translated into combat prowess.”

 

[Darien] says, “Dumb luck.”

 

Salia says, “It wasn’t ‘dumb luck’.” [Darien] looks at her and Salia says, “We examined her records from head to toe. Before SAO, she was…a joke. When it comes to fighting, she was jester. And I’m amazed how she won those battles in the end, but then again, I have to say that miracles do happen. However, post SAO, her skills have RADICALLY improved and it isn’t just her skills, it is her attitude. Before, she was a reluctant fighter…I mean she tried not to fight even it was absolutely necessary and unavoidable. But now, even though she doesn’t want to fight, she will fight especially if it is unavoidable. And if this new Sailor Scout had survived the same ‘prison’ that she went through, her skills won’t be anything to sneeze at. Most likely, if you underestimate her, she will make you sneeze blood.”

 

[Darien] says, with a snort, “Whatever. I underestimated her. It won’t happen again.”

 

[Darien] walks away with a snarl and when he is gone, Talia says, plainly, “Nice guy.”

 

Embryo says, “However, since he is one of our allies, we must tolerate him.”

 

Talia responds, “Yes, Master Embryo.”

 

Chris asks, “What shall we do?”

 

Salia responds, “With that girl revealed as another one of this Earth’s warriors, we need to gather all information on her and review it again and again. We are going to need to revise our battle plans. We know next to nothing about her powers.”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Indeed. While we have knowledge of her time in SAO, we don’t know what her abilities as a Sailor Scout are since she just became one. Plus, she is a legendary Sailor Senshi, her powers will be mighty indeed.”

 

Salia says, “Master Embryo is right. Asuna Yuuki is now a significant threat and we must be ready.” Salia’s teammates nod their heads in agreement and Embryo sits down in a chair with a smirk on his face.

 

Embryo thinks in his mind, “This Earth is very interesting…Very interesting indeed.”

Plenty of you has an idea, I’m sure, but you are going to have to read and find out, folks! Please read and review and no flames, please! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
