Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online the Movie: Alternating Scales ❯ A New Birth of Danger ( Chapter 5 )

Well, here we are at the next chapter! And the last chapter was full of surprises, haven’t they? Just for you to know that despite it being a little over a year since SAO, in this timeline anyway, Serena still has ‘issues’ from SAO. I mean, it was a ‘death game’ should say something to you and with Serena, in this story series, she has suffered a great betrayal and went through a traumatic experience that may NEVER completely heal. And like with veterans from wars throughout history, the ‘scars’ could stay for a life-time in which I have heard through various historical documentaries on television to the internet. Anyway, before we begin, 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.

Scene 5: A New Birth of Danger

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Rejoining our heroes and heroines, they are assembled back in their ‘base’ at the Game Crown Center as Serena slowly wakes up and holds her head.

 

Serena asks, shaking her head, “W-What happened?”

 

Darien asks Serena, concerned, “Are you okay Serena?”

 

Serena moans out, confused, “Huh? Darien?” As Serena regains her focus, she looks around and she asks, “W-Where am I?” Just then Serena remembers what happened and she says, in a panic, “Wait! Keiko!”

 

Kazuto comes over and he says, “It’s all right, Serena. Keiko is safe.” Serena looks at Kazuto and she sees Keiko walking towards her.

 

Keiko says, “I’m safe, Serena.”

 

Serena asks, “But how?”

 

Asuna says, nervously, “Well…” Plenty of the others look at each other nervously not know what they could and should say to Serena causing her to look confused.

 

Rika says, with a sigh, “Basically, you won the duel.”

 

Serena asks, confused, “I won?”

 

Mina asks Serena, “You really don’t remember?”

 

Serena says, shaking her head, “No, I…I don’t.” Serena holds her head in pain as images of Starve Venom Fusion Dragon ring in her mind.

 

Darien says, concerned, “Serena!”

 

Serena shakes her head and she asks, confused, “W-What was that?”

 

Tai says, “Based on what we know, you went bonkers and blasted your opponent nearly to high heaven.” Plenty of the others look at Tai in shock and Tai says, “Look, I don’t think that it is best that we go around with this with her of all people!”

 

Matt says, with a sigh, “As much as I hate to say it, I have to agree. Just ‘screwing around’ and trying not to hurt her feelings is not the best way to go.”

 

Serena asks, confused and nervously, “I went…what?”

 

Rika says, with a sigh, “It is exactly what Tai said, Serena.” Davis takes out a small chest and opens up to reveal Starve Venom Fusion Dragon (2800/2000) Fusion monster card causing Suguha to winch as soon as it comes out.

 

Serena says, recognizing that card, “That monster…” Serena holds her head in pain while Darien comforts her in his arms with [Sammy] narrowing his eyes.

 

Darien says, “Easy, Serena. Easy.”

 

Serena says, nervously, “W-What happened to me? O-Oh, Kami…”

 

Kazuto says, with a solemn tone, “It is just like this Serena…” Soon after, Kazuto, Rika, and Asuna explain to Serena what happened after she had ‘blackened out’ causing her face to twist into features of fear.

 

Serena says, fearfully, “I…I did that.”

 

Rika says, nervously, “Basically…yeah…”

 

Amara says, “Whatever this card is, it feels quite…dark.”

 

Suguha says, with a grunt, “Well, whatever it is…it is giving me quite a headache.” Everyone looks to see Suguha winching in pain and her breathing heavier.

 

Kazuto says, nervously, “Sugu!”

 

Davis says, nervously, “Whoops!” Davis closes the chest and Suguha lets out a sigh of relief.

 

Asuna asks Suguha, concerned, “Are you okay?”

 

Suguha responds, “Yeah, I’m okay. But whatever it is, it was reacting to the two dragons in my deck.”

 

Keiko asks, curiously, “The dragons in your deck?”

 

Suguha says, “Odd-Eyes and Dark Rebellion.”

 

TK asks, “Odd-Eyes, Dark Rebellion, Clear Wing, and Starve Venom. What are these monster cards?”

 

Matt responds, “That’s a good question, bro.”

 

Serena says, nervously, “I-I can’t believe that I…”

 

Raye tells Serena, “Get a hold of yourself Meatball Head!” Serena looks at Raye and she asks, “You need to calm down. If you go bonkers, we lose one of our strongest members! And how can we prevent something like SAO from happening again if you go off the rails?” Serena gasps in shock, shakes her head, and slaps herself in the face.

 

Serena says, her breathing becoming slow and regular, “You’re right, Pyro. You’re right.” Serena tells Darien, “I’m okay, Darien-kun.”

 

Tusk says, “It is still hard to believe that simple cards could cause so much trouble.”

 

Lita says, “Well, Duel Monsters isn’t an ordinary game. It is connected with various ancient forces that stem back from five thousand to ten thousand years in the past where people used real magic and real monsters.”

Ange says, sarcastically, “Real magic? Real monsters? Seriously? I get that you are super-powered men and women with special powers and strange and powerful creatures, but seriously…”

 

Davis retorts, “Coming from a girl that flies what we would call futuristic manga and fighting real-life dragons?”

 

Tusk tells Ange, “He does have a point, Ange.” Ange gives an annoyed glare at Tusk and he winches from the glare.

 

Ange says, “Right now, we have to think about what just happened. We were under a coordinated attack.”

 

Serena asks, “We were?”

 

Kazuto says, “Their plans was actually ‘divide and conquer’. They lured us into a trap to lure our strongest members away from Ange, Vivian, Tusk, and Sugu’s counterpart in order to capture them.”

 

Rika says, “But that’s not all. We met your boyfriend’s ‘evil twin’.”

 

Serena asks, shocked, “What?”

 

[Sammy] says, "Yep. And your boyfriend tried to face him. Your boyfriend learned his lesson when he got bitch-slapped all over the place when his counterpart, from my world unfortunately, turned him into a punching bag." Darien looks down in shame and Serena looks at him in concern.

 

Serena asks, concerned, “Are you okay?”

 

Darien says, with a smile, “Just my pride, Meatball Head.” However, Serena can tell that there is a ‘bitter sweetness’ in Darien’s smile and he thinks, “He easily made a fool of me. And that look in his eyes…the insanity…”

 

[Sammy] tells him, “Don’t think about it. You get into him too much and you’ll end up like him.” Darien looks at [Sammy] who turns his head away.

 

Kazuto tells Serena, “Thanks to Sugu’s healing powers, Darien is just fine.”

 

Suguha says, with a smile, “Well, I have to thank Hotaru for the lessons.”

 

Hotaru says, with a smile, “It was no problem, Suguha-hime.”

 

Suguha asks, with a sigh, “Do you have to call me that Hotaru?”

 

Michelle says, with a smile, “You know how she is Suguha. You are a Moon Princess along with Serena.”

 

Rika says, with a grin, “Despite not being the ‘royal type’.” Suguha gives an annoyed look at Rika and Asuna playful bops Rika’s arm. Rika says, with a smirk, “Oh, yeah! Our ‘Lightning Flash’ has joined the ranks of the Sailor Scouts!”

 

Serena asks, shocked, “Huh?” Serena looks at Asuna and she asks, “Really?”

 

Asuna gives a nervous blush and Kotone says, “Yes, she has. I was really surprised when I saw her as a Sailor Scout for the first time.”

 

Trista says, “Asuna’s Sailor Scout form is Sailor Star and she is closely ‘related’ to Sailor Sun since the sun is a star itself.”

 

Ami says, with a nod, “That’s logical.”

 

Lita asks, “So, Sailor Sun and Sailor Star are allies?”

 

Asuna responds, “Yes, my kingdom was part of the alliance with the Solaris Kingdom back in the Silver Millennium. I was different with the guardian scouts of both the Silver and Golden Alliance since I’m on par with Sailor Sun thus on par with Sailor Moon too.”

 

Keiko asks, curiously, “So, you remember your past life Asuna?”

 

Asuna replies, with a smile, “A bit Keiko-chan.”

 

Hotaru asks, curiously, “You are on par with Sailor Moon and Sailor Sun?”

 

Trista says, with a nod, “In terms of raw power and ‘potential’, it is true. She is one of the most powerful Sailor Scouts through Sailor Celestial still takes the top spot.”

 

Mina says, with a grin, “But Asuna is really awesome. The instant that she ‘awoke’, she went right up to Valkyrie Sailor Scout!”

 

Serena asks, surprised, “Really?”

 

Lita says, with a nod, “Yeah, you know it!”

 

Asuna says, embarrassed, “Girls…”

 

Rika tells Asuna, with a sly smirk, “Come on, is our ‘Lightning Flash’ afraid of a little praise?”

 

Asuna says, annoyed, “Geez, Liz…!!”

 

Asuna playful bops Rika’s arm and Amara says, “While it is good that we have another Scout ‘in the field’, Asuna is going to need to learn to use her powers effectively and that takes time.”

 

Tai says, “Time that we don’t have.”

 

Cody says, “What we do know is that they are after Suguha’s counterpart and her friends.”

 

Ange says, plainly, “That’s obvious.”

 

Tai says, “And that UNI-SHOCKER has some kind of scheme involving Ordinal Scale and the AR system. However, we have no idea on what.”

 

Izzy says, “We’ve gathered all the data that Molly and Suguha with the rest of us, but we are nowhere closer to finding out what’s going on.”

 

Davis says, “We’ve played Ordinal Scale as usual and we can’t find anything…strange.”

 

Kazuto says, “Other than it is really different from Full-Dive VR playing.”

 

Asuna tells Kazuto, “Well, that’s because you and Serena-chan aren’t use to it, Kirito-kun.”

 

Kazuto says, “Well, we had better get used to it fast.”

 

Matt says, with a nod, “Good point, Kazuto.”

 

Mina asks, “So, what should we do now?”

 

Amara says, “I think that we have to wait for our enemy to make their next move.”

 

Ange asks, annoyed, “Are you serious?”

 

Mimi asks, “Isn’t that a bit dangerous?”

 

Yolei responds, “Well, we can’t just storm into UNI-SHOCKER headquarters.”

 

[Sammy] responds, “No kidding. That just screams ‘suicide mission’. However, it doesn’t mean we have to sit on our butts and wait for them to make the next move.”

 

Amara asks, “You are taking about a ‘spy mission’, right?”

 

[Sammy] says, with a smirk, “Exactly. And we don’t go for the headquarters directly.”

 

Ken says, “You want to hit a warehouse or a company working with UNI-SHOCKER.”

 

[Sammy] says, with a grin, “Bingo.”

 

Lita asks, “Time out! What if that company doesn’t know what UNI-SHOCKER is doing?”

 

[Sammy] says, “That’s a big obvious ‘duh’ that they don’t know what they are doing or they wouldn’t work with UNI-SHOCKER.” [Sammy] says, with a plain tone, “Though there might be quite a few that have an idea and they are deciding to ignore it…”

 

Keiko asks, shocked, “They would do that?”

 

[Sammy] says, plainly, “Not everyone has good intentions. I learned that quite well. There are plenty that would do anything to save their own skin or just save the ‘legacy’ that they built. And there are those that would ignore stuff for worse reasons…”

 

Amara says, with a sigh, “Point taken.”

 

Kazuto says, “As much as I hate to say it, but he has a point. We need to get more information, but the ‘direct route’ is too dangerous. A ‘roundabout route’ might be a good idea.”

 

Tai asks Izzy, “Izzy, can you figure out where any warehouses that UNI-SHOCKER operates are as well as any companies that work with UNI-SHOCKER?”

 

Izzy says, with a nod, “I might need a bit of help…”

 

Ami says, nodding her head in understand, “No problem, Izzy.”

 

Cody says, “I think that Yolei and I can help that regard.”

 

Yolei says, with a nod, “Yeah.”

 

Ken says, “I would like to help too.”

 

Davis says, “Good idea, Ken. The more people on this, the better.”

 

As Ami, Cody, Yolei, and Ken head off to research where they can gather more intelligence, Tusk asks, “What can we do on the meanwhile?”

 

Darien says, “There is nothing we can do until we find a place to gather more intelligence on our enemies or they make the next move.”

 

Ange says, “So, we sit on our butt after all? Not happening.”

 

[Suguha] tells Ange, “Ange, we can’t just go up and cause trouble!”

 

Tusk tells Ange, “Suguha’s right, Ange. This isn’t our world. A group of teenagers with weapons and riding what they call ‘Mecha’ is going to cause trouble in which we don’t need right now.”

 

Ange snorts and she responds, “Right.”

 

Amara responds, “I know how you feel. I’m never good at sitting on my butt.”

 

Michelle says, with a sly smile, “But you know a certain someone knows how to swallow their pride or there might be ‘big trouble’ for them.” Amara gives a nervous cough while Hotaru shakes her head at her adoptive parent.

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Returning to UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, Salia and the Diamond Rose Knights are lying down in beds of sorts with Amuspheres over their heads and looking like they are sleeping showing that they are in a Full-Dive with Embryo watching over them before he turns to leave.

 

As he leaves, Embryo hears a voice say, “Where are you going?” Embryo turns to the source of the voice to see none other than [Darien] looking at him.

 

Embryo responds, “Nowhere in particular.”

 

[Darien] replies, “Yeah, right. You think I was born yesterday?”

 

As [Darien] glared at Embryo to make a sarcastic remark about his sarcastic question, Embryo says, “If you think that I’m going to take your ‘bait’, I must disappoint you.”

 

[Darien] says, with a smirk, “Smarter than you look. But then again, you aren’t an ordinary human after all. It would be interesting to find what plane of existence that your true body is in.”

 

Embryo says, with a smirk, “I’m not surprised that you caught on.”

 

[Darien] retorts, “As you should know, I was already experience in ‘other realms and dimensions’ before I became a part of UNI-SHOCKER.”

 

Embryo retorts, “So, I’ve heard.”

 

[Darien] says, “Don’t expect them not to catch on sooner or later.”

 

Embryo responds, “I’ll remember that.” Embryo then takes off causing [Darien] to glare at him, but he then shrugs as he continues to think about his next plans.

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Back in Juuban, Serena, Darien, Ange, Tusk, and Vivian are walking down the street heading back to Darien’s apartment home.

 

Darien thinks about the battle and he thinks, “I fought against my ‘evil counterpart’ and all I ended up was brutally beaten with ease. I was nothing, but a joke to him. If it wasn’t for Asuna awakening as a Sailor Scout, Serena would have been…”

 

Serena asks Darien, with a concerned look, “Is something wrong?”

 

Darien looks at Serena after he comes out of his thoughts and he says, “Yeah, I’m fine.”

 

Serena responds, “Darien-kun…” Darien flinches from Serena’s intense stare in which he knows that Serena knows that something is wrong with him due to their ‘bond’.

 

Darien responds, with a weak smile, “Meatball Head, I’m going to be fine. I’m just…in shock at seeing my counterpart that’s all.”

 

Serena KNOWS that it is more than that, but she says, with a plain tone, “Okay…”

 

Vivian whispers to Tusk and Ange, “What’s going on with them?”

 

Tusk responds, “I’m not sure, Vivian.”

 

Ange says, plainly, “None of our business anyway.”

 

Tusk asks Ange, plainly, “You still don’t think that this is some kind of hoax or something, do you?”

 

Ange responds, “We can establish for a fact that we are in another world…another Earth that’s different from ours. There are people with powers that could be even beyond even the Light of Mana and we are a target for their enemies especially Suguha. However, it only makes us allies and not friends. That’s all.” Just then when the group is in front of the entrance to the apartment complex where Darien’s home is, none other than Embryo himself is waiting for them. Ange says, surprised, “You!”

 

Tusk says, getting in front of Ange and Vivian, “Embryo!”

 

Serena and Darien gasp in shock and Serena thinks in her mind, “That’s Embryo! But he…he looks like a regular person…” However, both Serena and Darien get on guard when they look into Embryo’s eyes in which they glance at each other and realize that both of them realize the same thing about Embryo.

 

Embryo says, “It has been a while, my dear Ange.”

 

Ange asks, “So, you are Embryo?”

 

Embryo says, “You must have heard about me from Tusk and Jill.” Embryo says, looking at Serena and Darien, “And you must be the Moon Princess and her beloved prince. It is an honor your majesty.”

 

Serena responds, with a defensive look on her face, “Forgive me if Darien and I don’t feel the same.”

 

Embryo says, with a sly smile, “I don’t blame you.”

 

Darien says, “You must have some confidence to come out into the open knowing that we know about you.”

 

Embryo says, with a sly smile, “You can say that.”

 

Serena asks, her face showing a ‘defensive tone’, “So, what do you want?”

 

Embryo says, “I just wanted to meet you, Lady Serena.”

 

Darien retorts, moving slightly forward of Serena, “Do you expect us to believe that?”

 

Embryo says, “Believe what you wish.” Embryo tells Serena, “My, you have a dangerous look on you.”

 

Serena says, “My family told me to watch out for strangers.”

 

Embryo says, “Wise advice. However, I believe that it is more than just that.”

 

Darien asks, “What do you want?”

 

Embryo responds, with a sly smile, “Oh, nothing really. I just wanted to introduce myself and see the famous Sailor Moon for myself.”

 

Serena asks, not convinced in the least, “Seriously?”

 

Embryo says, with a sly smile, “Oh, yes, indeed.” Darien is looking around for anything or anyone that could be a danger and Embryo says, with a smirk, “Trying to see if there is anyone ‘dangerous’ around? In broad daylight? I believe not.”

 

Ange says, with a deadly glare, “Actually, there is someone dangerous…and she is in front of your face!” Ange then produces a small knife and she throws into Embryo’s head causing him to collapse to the ground seemly dead.

 

Everyone looks at Ange and Tusk says, “Ange!”

 

Ange responds, “What?”

 

Serena says, “You can’t just do that. It…”

 

Just then a familiar male voice says, “Do what?” Everyone looks to see Embryo, looking alive and well without a knife in his chest, by Serena’s side and after a second, all of them leap back from Embryo, who has a sly smirk on his face.

 

Darien asks, “But how?” Darien and Serena look to where Embryo was standing where he got stabbed and all that they find is the knife that Ange threw at him without a drop of blood on it.

 

Serena thinks in her mind, stunned, “He got struck in the heart! I know it! Ange-san’s struck him straight in the heart! There is no way that a normal person could have survived that!”

 

Ange asks, shocked, “W-What are you?”

 

Embryo responds, with a sly smile, “I believe that Jill told you about me.”

 

Ange asks, stunned, “Are you…god?”

 

Darien says, “No, he is no deity.”

 

Embryo retorts, “And yet, I survived something that should have killed a human.”

 

Serena responds, “So? That doesn’t prove that you are some kind of deity. I’ve met opponents that suffered wounds that would have killed ordinary humans.”

 

Embryo says, “Well, I think the terminology of ‘god’ is so…” Embryo looks in deep thought for a while and he says, “Inadequate. I prefer the term ‘tuner’ instead.”

 

Serena asks, curiously, “Tuner?”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, since it was I the one who forged the world that Ange, Tusk, and Vivian come from.”

 

Tusk responds, angrily, “You mean stole from us!”

 

Embryo says, “I see. So, he has told you.”

 

Darien says, “Indeed. He told us how you stole his world from his ancestors.”

 

Embryo responds, “Stole it? The people there were already destroying their Earth. I just happened to put a new and better humanity in place that makes better use of it.”

 

Tusk yells out, angrily, “And what gave you the right?”

 

Embryo retorts, with a sly smile, “And what right do you have to say that I’m wrong? The result was a new and better world.”

 

Serena responds, “From what I hear, I really have to disagree.”

 

Embryo asks, in a mock curious tone, “You do?” Embryo then gives a smirk and he says, “It is your own opinion after all. I cannot blame you.”

 

Serena retorts, with a stern look, “Opinion or fact?”

 

Embryo responds, with a curious look, “Oh?”

 

Serena tells Embryo, with a stern tone, “Your so-called ‘perfect society’ is far from perfect…In fact, not even close. It is the powerful preying on the weak. The mana-users forcing the so-called ‘Norma’ into slavery in order to survive. The lie of them having the ‘haves’ and the mana-users being the ‘have-nots’. It is a complete hypocrisy since it is the other way other around! And you are the one that started the hypocrisy in the first place!” Serena stares into the eyes of Embryo and the two of them look at each other with Serena having a strong and stern stare while Embryo’s stare is calculating in which Darien isn’t liking that stare at all. Embryo says, “Very interesting. You and Ange can be like sisters.”

 

Serena asks Embryo, “Why is that?”

 

Embryo says, “The two of you share the same look in your eyes.”

 

Serena responds, “Really now?”

 

Embryo says, with a sly smile, “Yes, the look of strength in your eyes. Very…alluring.”

 

Darien asks, annoyed, “Is there a point to you revealing yourself to us?”

 

Embryo responds, not losing his smirk, “As I have just stated, I just wished to meet her majesty personally.”

 

Serena replies, plainly, “Well, hello…And goodbye.”

 

Embryo says, “My, such…mistrust.” Embryo then says, with a smirk, “I take it that your time in SAO has given you trust issues.”

 

Serena retorts, showing signs of irritation, “You know, you are seriously starting to push it.”

 

Embryo responds, with a kind bow, “Forgive me, it was not my place.”

 

Ange tells Embryo, “Hey! There is something that I need to ask you!”

 

Embryo asks, in a mock curious tone, “Yes, my dear Ange?”

 

Ange responds, “You took it, didn’t you?”

 

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

 

Ange yells out, angrily, “Don’t play dumb with me, pal! You are the reason that Suguha lost her memories!”

 

Embryo asks, “Oh? And what proof do you have of that?”

 

Ange says, with a snarl, “Why you…!!”

 

Embryo says, “I will admit that I may have caused some…discomfort with young Suguha when we first met.”

 

Tusk asks, annoyed and suspicion in his tone, “Discomfort?”

 

Embryo says, “I was just helping her see the joys of my world and she was quite reluctant.”

 

Darien retorts, suspicious tone in his voice, “Forgive us if we don’t disagree.”

 

Ange yells out, “Disagree? I say that you fucking tried to brainwash her!”

 

Embryo retorts, “Brainwash? My dear Ange, you cut me to the quick. I was just helping to enlighten her to the perfection of my world.”

 

Serena responds, “Doubtful.”

 

Embryo says, shaking his head, “Your majesty, I believe that we can come to an understanding…”

 

Serena replies, sternly, “I seriously doubt that Embryo.”

 

Ange says, sternly, “No kidding. You are the reason that Suguha can’t remember her past! You stole her past and her history from her!”

 

Embryo asks, with a sly tone, “And if I have?”

 

Ange says, angrily, “You…!!”

 

Tusk tells Ange, “No, Ange! You can’t let Embryo get to you! He is trying to egg you on!”

 

Ange says, with a serious and angered tone, “Well, he is doing a damn good job!”

 

Embryo tells Ange, with a sly smile, “My dear Ange, it is a wonderful look on you. Your anger really lets your beauty shine.”

 

Ange retorts, sarcastically, “Thanks, I’m flattered.” Ange tells Embryo, “I’ll give you a choice: You give back Suguha’s memories and maybe I’ll keep you intact or we can do this the hard way.”

 

Serena thinks in her mind, nervously, “Seriously, Ange-san?”

 

Embryo says, “You are really confident, my dear.”

 

Tusk tells Ange, “Ange, be careful. Embryo isn’t human.”

 

Darien says, with a serious tone, “Just because he has incredible powers and abilities that we don’t understand doesn’t mean that he isn’t human.”

 

Embryo asks Darien, with a smirk, “Are you sure about that Darien-san?”

 

Darien responds, with a serious glare, “Yes. Let’s just say your so-called ‘divinity’ is just a ‘magic act’ to me.”

 

Embryo retorts, “Says the person that so easily beaten by his ‘evil twin’.” Darien snarls at Embryo, but he can’t reply since he snarls at the memory of what happened to him by his ‘evil counterpart’.

 

Serena thinks in her mind, concerned since she can also feel his distress through their bond, “Darien-kun…”

 

Ange asks Embryo, annoyed, “Is there a real point coming out to face us? And don’t say that you just wanted to meet her?”

 

Embryo responds, with a sly smile, “I’m afraid that I have to disappoint you in that regard, my dear Ange.”

 

Embryo then starts to walk away and Serena asks, “Leaving already?”

 

Embryo says, “I thought that it would wise to introduce myself and leave you to think, your majesty. Good day.” Soon after, Embryo then walks into the shadows and Ange runs after him.

 

Tusk shouts out, concerned, “Ange, wait!”

 

Ange yells out, not listening, “Hold on! I’m not done with you!” However, when she turns the corner where Embryo walked off, she found that Embryo was completely gone without a trace! As the others fall in behind her, Ange yells out, looking all around, “Hey! Where did he go?”

 

Serena says, shocked, “I don’t know!”

 

Darien says, curiously, “He might have some kind of teleportation power.”

 

Vivian asks, amazed, “Really?”

 

Tusk says, “That’s certainly possible.”

 

Darien thinks in his mind, “Who or what is Embryo? Ange struck him what looked like a lethal blow and his form did collapse, but nearly instantly after we turned away, he was right there without a scratch and the weapon that Ange used was on the ground without a spec of blood on it. How did he do that?”

 

Serena asks, “Did he put some kind of illusion on us?” Serena then calls out, seemly to no one, “Did you see anything put on us?” Everyone then looks to see Valkyrie Sailor Orion land near them.

 

Vivian asks, amazed, “Whoa! How long was she there?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “The others had a feeling that something like this could happen, so, I made sure that I followed along in which I kept a close eye on him.”

 

Darien asks, “Did he do anything to us?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “No, he didn’t. I detected no illusions put on you. Of that, I’m certain.”

 

Serena asks Sailor Orion, “Did you see what happened?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Yes, but I’m not sure how to explain. Ange-san struck Embryo straight in the forehead and of that, I’m certain, but in an instant, he was alive once again.”

 

Tusk asks, surprised, “In an instant?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Yes, I’m not sure how to explain it. The ‘dead Embryo’ had vanished and he returned alive all in the span of an instant.”

 

Darien says, “That rules out instant regeneration and that should have been obvious from the knife itself.”

 

Sailor Orion says, “There would have been blood on it, but there was none.”

 

Vivian asks, curiously and confused, “Then how he did survive?”

 

Darien says, “That’s actually a good question.”

 

Serena asks Sailor Orion, “Are you sure that it wasn’t an illusion?”

 

Sailor Orion responds, shaking her head, “No, it wasn’t. Ange’s attack stuck something solid and it was something made of physical flesh. Of that, I’m sure.”

 

Tusk asks, “Then who or what did Ange strike?”

 

Ange says, “Good question.”

 

Sailor Orion says, “We aren’t dealing with an ordinary human.”

 

Darien says, “True.”

 

Serena asks, curiously, “What is he?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “What we do know is that he knows where you live and I believe that was the point.”

 

Serena asks, curiously, “The point?”

 

Sailor Orion says, with a nod, “He is sending a messaging that he knows where you live and he could get to you at any time especially when you don’t expect it.”

 

Darien says, “A warning…”

 

Ange says, “More like a taunt.”

 

Tusk says, “Yeah, it looks like that.”

 

Serena asks, “But what is he?”

 

Sailor Orion responds, “That’s a good question.”

 

Darien asks Sailor Orion, “Can you get back to the others and tell them what happened?”

 

Sailor Orion asks, “Are you sure that you will be okay?”

 

Serena responds, “Knowing someone like him, he isn’t going to try anything for now.”

 

Ange says, with a nod, “I agree. He seems to be ‘that kind’ dumbass villain.”

 

Sailor Orion is hesitant for a second, but she then nods her head and she says, “Okay. Be careful.”

 

Darien says, with a nod, “We will.” Sailor Orion then takes off into the distance leaving the others alone.

 

Vivian asks, “So, what do we do now?”

 

Darien asks, “What can we do Vivian-san?”

 

Ange asks, “We aren’t going to just sit on our butts?”

 

Serena sighs and tells Ange, “Ange, I don’t like it as much as you do. But this Embryo…he…He is an unknown. I mean, he just survived a blow that would kill most people.”

 

Darien says, “And we have no explanation on his survival.”

 

Tusk says, “As my family told me before: Embryo isn’t human. He is a demon.”

 

Darien says, “Well, we can be sure that he isn’t an ordinary human. Until we figure out the full extent of his abilities, we can’t just go charging in after him.”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “We aren’t sure of who he is and especially WHAT he is. I don’t want to give an enemy a chance to get at us, but I don’t want to risk our lives not knowing what our enemy is capable of.” Serena says, lowering her head, “I’ve seen too many people die because of that.” Her right arm shakes a bit and she says, holding it and looking up with a determined look on her face, “I’m not going to see that happen again.” Darien looks at Serena with concern, but Serena gives a nod as if saying ‘I’m okay’. Serena looks at Ange and the two of them just look at each other with Vivian and Tusk are looking nervous about this.

 

Ange responds, plainly, “Fine. We’ll do this your way…for now.”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “Thank you, Ange-san.”

 

Darien asks Tusk, “Tusk, you said that the key to defeated Embryo lies in Villkiss.”

 

Tusk responds, “Based on what I know, that’s right. I was told that Villkiss has the power to destroy Embryo.”

 

Darien goes into deep thought and after several moments, Serena asks Darien, “Do you have an idea about this Darien-kun?”

 

Darien responds, with a nod, “I do, but I need to think about this and discuss this with the others.”

 

Serena says, nodding her head in agreement, “Right. Now, let’s get some rest. It has been a long day.” Soon enough, the five of them head back into the apartment complex where Darien’s home is and Serena can’t help to feel that this is only the beginning of their battle with both Embryo and UNI-SHOCKER.

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, Kirigaya household

 

Within the Kirigaya home, Kazuto, Suguha, and Suguha’s counterpart are sitting down together within Suguha’s room and discussing something with Trivia, who is also in the room.

 

Suguha says, “Agumon and Lunamon are keeping an eye out.”

 

Kazuto says, “Good. If Embryo knows where Serena, then he knows where we are.”

 

Trivia says, “Agreed.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “Why did he just show himself like that? Is this just some of freaking game to him?”

 

Kazuto respond, “I believe that’s the case.”

 

Both version of Kazuto’s sister looks at Kazuto in surprise and Trivia says, “Based on the way that he acted, this might be some kind of challenge to him and ‘ending’ it now would be boring to him.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “You might have a point, Trivia.”

 

Trivia says, “Based on what Sailor Orion has informed us, this Embryo is a complete unknown and we need to be prepared.”

 

Suguha asks, “Can you improve the security in the house? Without alerting mom and dad?’

 

Trivia says, “That’s going to be tricky.”

 

Kazuto says, “Mom and dad are already up the wall in combination with Sword Art Online, Sword Art World, and finding out that Sugu is a Sailor Scout in which she nearly died and was trapped in another virtual world for a month before Sword Art World.”

 

Suguha says, sarcastically and annoyed, “Thanks a lot, big brother.”

 

Kazuto says, “Sorry, Sugu, but our parents are up the wall as it is.” Kazuto looks at his sister’s counterpart and he says, “Mom is barely accepting of the fact that her daughter is now ‘twins’ of a sort. While she accepted our story, which is a half-truth, she is suspecting that something is up, Sugu.”

 

Suguha says, with a sigh, “I know, Kazuto.”

 

[Suguha] says, “Sorry about this.”

 

Suguha responds, with a smirk, “Hey, it is a no problem! Us, Sailor Scouts girls and princesses, have got to stay together.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a grin, “Yeah, I guess you’re right.” [Suguha] says, “It is hard to get my mind around this, but deep down, I know that it is true. And I can’t help to wonder.”

 

Kazuto asks, “About your family and friends?”

 

[Suguha] says, with a nod, “Yeah. I can’t help to feel guilty not remembering them at all.”

 

Suguha responds, “It isn’t your fault on that one.”

 

[Suguha] says, clenching her hands into fists, “No joke. That fucking jerk…He took my memories…He stole my life! If I learn how to use my powers again, I’m going to use them to rip my memories from his corpse!”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “And we’re going to help you stop that ass.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a smile, “Thanks.”

 

Kazuto says, “No problem.” Kazuto says, looking at the window, “Still…”

 

Suguha asks, “You are worried about this Embryo character?”

 

Kazuto says, “No kidding, Sugu. He got hit in the head in a way where normally it would have killed someone.”

 

Suguha asks, “How did he do that?”

 

[Suguha] says, “Based on what Commander Jill told Ange and I, Embryo is somehow the god of their Earth.”

 

Kazuto responds, “Seriously doubt that.”

 

Suguha says, “We faced quite a few ‘false deities’ and beaten the crap out of them.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smirk, “That’s one way of putting Sugu.” Kazuto says, “I’m also still worried about UNI-SHOCKER too.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah. We still have no idea on the depth of the organization other than what Sammy’s counterpart told us about.”

 

Kazuto says, nodding his head, “No doubt, Sugu. And we can’t be sure what they are planning and how it allows them to form an alliance with Embryo.”

 

Suguha says, “All we can do is our investigation and hope for the best.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod of his head, “And prepare for the worst. In which, I hope never happens.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “You and me both, big brother.” [Suguha] nods her head in agreement and the three of them look out to wonder what their enemy is planning next.

 

April 21, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Speaking of said enemy, we return to the headquarters of UNI-SHOCKER where we find Embryo sitting and enjoying a cup of tea while Salia and rest of the Diamond Rose Knights are around him.

 

Salia asks, shocked, “Master Embryo, you went to confront them ALONE?!”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, I did.”

 

The five young women are shocked and Salia asks, “But…!”

 

Embryo asks, “Are you uncertain of my abilities?”

 

The Diamond Rose Knight become nervous and Chris says, shaking her head, “No, Master…”

 

Embryo holds out his hand and he says, with a smile, “My darling Chris, I understand you and the other girls’ feelings. I am the one who saved you and cared for you and thus, you are worried about me. It is understanding. Forgive me for worrying you.”

 

Tanya says, “It is a quite all right, Master Embryo.”

 

Embryo says, “We are on a foreign world different from our Earth. What we can ‘primal’ in some forms and advanced in others.” Embryo says, “And you can agree due to the fact that they have developed Full-Dive virtual reality technology.”

 

Salia says, with a nod, “Yes, I agree. And it truly feels like you have been transported from this world into a brand new one.”

 

Embryo says, “Indeed. There was no need for such develops back on our Earth since most people can make their dreams be a reality and not make ‘another reality’ to fulfill them.” Embryo says, “However, most people of this world are foolish for calling ‘virtual reality’ by the word of ‘fake’. If it was ‘fake’, why would call it virtual REALITY? VR is just another reality in which instead of flesh and blood, it is digital information.”

 

Salia says, “You think that with these creatures called Digimon which are living beings made of digital information that they would know better.”

 

Embryo says, “True. However, there are plenty of people that see the potential for these entities, but in order for these creatures to reach their true potential, the ‘human factor’ is necessary thus the reasons for these ‘relationships’ known as Digidestined and Tamers.”

 

Chris says, “I believe that looking into them was a wise investment after we had researched them through the data that UNI-SHOCKER has given us, but…”

 

Embryo asks, curiously, “But…You don’t completely trust them, my dear Chris?”

 

Chris responds, “Yes, sir.”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “I don’t blame you for that one. My lovely knights, make sure that you watch your backs around here.”

 

Salia says, with a nod, “Yes, we know, Master Embryo. Thank you.”

 

Embryo tells Salia, “I know, my dear Salia. I do have some information that I wish to tell you.”

 

Salia asks, “Yes, sir?”

 

Embryo says, “It is about Miss Moon. I can tell that she has the same fire in her eyes as Ange.”

 

The Diamond Rose Knight’s eyes widen and Ersha asks, “Like Ange?”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, like Ange. Miss Moon’s eyes hold the same fire as Ange does and it shouldn’t be too surprising due to their histories.”

 

Salia says, look deep in thought, “You have a point, Master Embryo. Based on what information that they gave us, Serena Tsukino becoming such a strong willed person like Ange isn’t too surprising.”

 

Chris says, “Their histories are very similar. Ange was betrayed by both her brother and younger sister and Serena Tsukino was betrayed by her uncle, who was her father in her past life as a princess and was like a second father in this life, in which both of them were put into life or death situations. For Ange, fighting dragons, and for Serena Tsukino, Sword Art Online, where nearly four thousand people died.”

 

Ersha says, “It really is sad.”

 

Salia scoffs and she says, “A little too similar to me.”

 

Ersha tells Salia, “Oh, Salia. Just because they are both former royalty in one form or another doesn’t mean that they are the same. I mean, Serena Tsukino was an open and caring person and in fact, she fought for people as Sailor Moon even if she didn’t want to. And as a royal, her family’s motto, in a way, was to rule WITH the people not ABOVE the people.”

 

Salia says, “Well, she is a better princess than Ange I suppose.”

 

Ersha says, with a smile, “Well, I don’t blame Ange the way that she was. She lived a life filled with love and loyalty and full of privilege after all. Hilda was once like Ange when she first arrived. But remember, Ange tried her hardest to make sure no one else died. She really didn’t care about the money.”

 

Salia gives an annoyed look at Ersha and Embryo says, “Ersha has a point, my dear Salia. Sailor Moon was the same way in SAO and she did everything in her limited power to save them, but she couldn’t save everyone. Most likely, the number of people that she tried to save and died in front of her eyes were in the hundreds.”

 

Irma asks, shocked, “Hundreds?”

 

Embryo says, “In which this is why she is a dangerous opponent. Due to the similarities with Ange, think of her as Ange with incredible beyond human powers.”

 

Salia says, with a nod, “We understand, sir. Sailor Moon is nothing to laugh at especially if she is believing that she is in the right.”

 

Embryo tells Salia, “Yes, she is. However, I hope that I am not giving you a burden by asking to bring her in.”

 

Salia says, “No, Master Embryo. And thanks to your insight, we are better prepared to fight her.” When the other Diamond Rose Knights look at Salia, she says, “Look, we know that Sailor Moon and Ange share quite a few similarities, especially betrayal, and that means that Sailor Moon will empathize with Ange, right? Sailor Moon will be quite determined to keep Ange safe knowing her nature.”

 

Chris says, “You are saying that if we get Ange, we not only get our Suguha, but we may also entrap Sailor Moon as well.”

 

Salia says, with a grin, “Exactly. We have a good insight into Sailor Moon especially with Master Embryo’s observation of her. We know how to battle her better when we confront her.”

 

Tanya asks, “Do you have a plan to do so?”

 

Salia says, with a smile, “I do.” Soon enough, Salia starts to discuss with the Diamond Rose Knights about her plans with Embryo smirking at this, but what even Embryo doesn’t seem to know is that [Darien] is also watching.

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District

 

Within a warehouse in Odiaba, the Raga-Mail machines, Villkiss and Valkyrie, are together with Tusk, Ange, [Suguha], Ami, Izzy, and Tentomon on the two Mecha.

 

Ange asks Tusk, “So, Tusk?”

 

Tusk says, “Repairs are going to take a while, but the parts that I got and the adjustments I had to make will work out just fine.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “So, Villkiss and Valkyrie will be operational soon?”

 

Tusk says, “I’m not sure about soon, but they will be at one hundred percent or at least close to it when they are.”

 

Ange says, with a sigh, “I guess that will have to do.”

 

[Suguha] tells Ange, “Tusk is doing the best he can, Ange.”

 

Ange says, “I know that Suguha.”

 

Tusk says, “Ange is just under stress.” Tusk says, seriously, “I don’t blame her. Now that we know Embryo is here…I’m afraid for this whole world. Embryo is a demon. We can’t be sure what he will do to get his way. You already know how fiendish he truly is.”

 

Ami says, “Yes. We have to make sure that he doesn’t get his hands on you, Suguha.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a sigh, “I know. I get it. I have some kind of ‘ultimate power’ if misused could lead to all type of problems.” [Suguha] says, “I wonder how my counterpart deals with it.”

 

Ami thinks in her mind, solemnly, “That’s actually a good question.”

 

Ange asks [Suguha], “Anything change?”

 

[Suguha] responds, shaking her head, “I can feel…something…but I just…just can’t reach it…”

 

Ami says, “Based on what we know, Embryo’s removal of your memories has caused possible mental and emotional trauma that’s cause the ‘block’ on you tapping into your powers. Also, we don’t know how much of your memories have been removed. Raye and Trista only has a general idea.”

 

Tusk asks, “There is something that I don’t get: If Embryo is the reason that Suguha came to our world, why did he send her into our world alone and without your memories?”

 

Izzy says, “We theorized that was something AGAINST his plans.”

 

Ange asks, “Against his plans?”

 

Ami says, with a nod, “Most likely, before he could complete what he planned to do to her, Suguha used her powers against Embryo and stopped him which most likely causing her to ‘fall’ into yours and Ange-san’s Earth. And may also be the reason why he didn’t find her right away.”

 

[Suguha] asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

Izzy says, “It is logical to believe that someone like him has much ‘influence’ in that world that he would find you easily if you didn’t do something to him. Most likely, with the last of your strength when he was ‘extracting’ your memories for his ‘reconditioning’, you put some kind of ‘hex’ or ‘curse’ on him making him unable to find you until recently.”

 

[Suguha] says, “When I started to use Valkyrie.”

 

Tusk says, with a nod, “Most likely. Valkyrie and Villkiss have the power to destroy Embryo and you being able to use it says something.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “And Valkyrie has an AI that detected my ‘suppressed power’ and felt that I was the best choice to piloting it?”

 

Izzy says, “Based on the information provided by Valkyrie’s AI and from what we know, we believe so.”

 

Tentomon asks, “Valkyrie’s AI did that? Does that mean it is like Yui and Strea?”

 

Ami says, “From what I can tell…Valkyrie’s AI might be even more advanced than that they are.”

 

Tentomon asks, surprised, “Really?”

 

Ami says, “Well, I can’t be absolutely certain about that Tentomon. However, from what Valkyrie’s AI allows me to examine of ‘it’, this AI is quite advanced.”

 

Ange asks, “Why is Valkyrie allowing you to examine it?”

 

Tusk says, “That’s a good question, Ange. However, like I said before, we have less idea about Valkyrie than Villkiss and we have barely information on Villkiss.”

 

Ange says, “That’s for sure.”

 

[Suguha] asks Ami, “Do you have any ideas on how the Ragna-Mails could destroy Embryo?”

 

Ami responds, “I am getting a good idea. From what I know, these two ‘machines’ have some kind of space-time technology which explains their abilities to travel through universes and it uses that type of technology as a weapon as well.”

 

Izzy asks Ami, “As a weapon?”

 

Ami replies, with a nod, “Yes, some kind of space-time weapon. A ‘Dimensional Cannon’ of sorts.”

 

Tentomon asks, “Dimensional Cannon?”

 

Ami says, “If the weaponry involves space-time, it might be possible that Embryo is a person…a being that exists just slightly outside of our space-time.”

 

Tusk asks, “Exists outside of our space-time?”

 

Ami says, with a nod, “I believe that Embryo might exist just outside of our plane of existence.”

 

Ange asks, “Wait a minute! Our plane of existence? What do you mean by that?”

 

Ami says, “The concept of space and time is a lot more complex. You already know about other universes and dimensions, Ange.”

 

Tusk asks Ami, “Are you saying that Embryo is in some kind ‘other dimension’?”

 

Ami says, with a nod, “I think so. Maybe just slightly ‘out of phase’ of this dimensional plane.”

 

[Suguha] says, nervously, “Um…You need to put it in…Japanese…” Ami scratches her head and Izzy also makes the same expression.

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, Outside of UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Some distance away from UNI-SHOCKER, which is a massive and tall building skyscraper building complex, Kamen Rider Lunar, Sailor Orion, and the Outer Sailor Scouts are watching from a distance with plenty of spying and high-tech observation gear.

 

Kamen Rider Lunar asks, “How did he survive getting impaled in the face?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “That’s a really good question.”

 

Sailor Saturn asks, “Could it be regeneration?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Doubtful. If it was regeneration, there would be blood on the knife from where it was ‘spit’ out of his head. There was no blood…No nothing on the knife at all.”

 

Sailor Saturn asks, “So, what could it mean?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “That’s a good question, Firefly.”

 

Sailor Neptune asks Sailor Pluto, “Pluto?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a thoughtful look, “I do have theories, but I’m going to need more data to validate them.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Well, I doubt that he is going to come out and say ‘hi’.”

 

Just then Embryo’s voice booms, “I believe that you are mistaken, my dear.” The group turns around to see Embryo right in front of them.

 

Kamen Rider Lunar yells out, stunned, “What the heck?!”

 

Sailor Orion thinks in her mind, “How did he sneak up on us?” Sailor Orion then looks at Sailor Uranus and she thinks, “How did he do that and Uranus and I unable to sense him at all?!”

 

Sailor Neptune asks, “Who are you?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “That’s Embryo.”

 

Sailor Saturn asks, surprised, “That’s Embryo?”

 

Sailor Orion says, with a nod, “He is the same person that I saw yesterday.”

 

Embryo says, looking at Sailor Orion, “Ah, yes. You are the one observing us from afar.”

 

Sailor Orion thinks in her mind, shocked, “He knew I was there?!”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “So, you’re Embryo, huh? I’m not impressed.”

 

Embryo responds, “I’m not surprised that you aren’t impressed by me, my dear.”

 

Sailor Uranus thinks in her mind, “I don’t get it! I didn’t sense a thing and Orion didn’t sense a thing either! How did he get so close to us?!”

 

Sailor Pluto looks at Embryo and she thinks, “This energy around him…He seems to be here and yet…”

 

Embryo looks at Sailor Pluto and he says, with a sly smile, “It isn’t nice to stare, my dear Time Guardian.”

 

As Embryo walks over to the end of the roof away from the others, Sailor Pluto says, “You know about me.”

 

Embryo says, “By reputation only, my dear.” Embryo stops at the roof’s edge and he says, “It shall be interesting interaction with you from now on.” The others gasp as he leaps off the roof and out of sight in which when the others get over there, nearly instantly, they find that Embryo has completely vanished!

 

Sailor Saturn says, shocked, “He’s gone!”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, stunned, “No way!”

 

Sailor Neptune asks, “How did he do all that?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “Good question.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “One thing that we do know: Embryo is no joke. He is dangerous.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “Indeed.” Sailor Pluto asks Kamen Rider Lunar, “Did you get anything?”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, slyly, “Indeed.”

 

Sailor Saturn asks, “Huh?”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, with a smile, “Pluto and I had a talk just in case.”

 

Sailor Neptune asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Joining up with Serena and Kazuto, we find them in the AR world of Ordinal Scale using their ‘AR forms’ of Usagi and Kirito with Asuna, Keiko, Rika, Kotone, Mina, Lita, Raye, and Darien using their ‘AR forms’ with Keiko, Rika, Kotone, Mina, Lita, Raye, and Darien being known as Silica, Lisbeth, Philia, Minako, Makoto, Hino, and Mamoru in which Mamoru is helping Usagi back to their feet.

 

Usagi says, with a sigh, “Man! This is tough!”

 

Makoto says, “You and Kazuto…I mean Kirito isn’t used to AR battles.”

 

Asuna says, with a nod, “That’s right, Usagi-chan. You and Kirito-kun aren’t used to AR battles like we are.”

 

Kirito says, with a sigh, “I have to say that they are quite different than the VR battles that we are used to.”

 

Usagi says, with a sigh, “You think that this since this is taking place in the ‘real world’. My experience in both would help me, but I guess that I was wrong.”

 

Mamoru says, “You have to understand that AR, VR, and the ‘real world’ are three different ‘realities’.”

 

Minako says, “I keep wonder why people call them ‘fake’. I mean they have the word ‘reality’ in their name.”

 

Mamoru says, “It is people’s perceptive. If a world isn’t ‘natural’, then they have the tendency to ‘deny’ that ‘world’ and believe it to be ‘fake’.”

 

Kirito says, “That’s true. But we know better than anyone just because a world is artificial doesn’t mean that it is ‘fake’.” Plenty of the others nod their heads in agreement and they continue on playing in which they get to a point in the AR ‘dungeon’.

 

Philia asks, “What’s this?” The group looks around and they see a large and long ‘blank’ area in which Usagi, Asuna, and Kirito get a ‘bad feeling’.

 

Lisbeth says, “Looks like an empty room to me.”

 

Makoto says, “It sounds like a trap to me.”

 

Mamoru says, with a nod, “I agree. We had better be ready.” The group starts to slowly enter the massive ‘blank room’, but then the floor starts to glow.

 

Kirito yells out, “Spread out! Move!” The group leaps away as a hand, made of stone and concrete, bursts out of the floor and barely misses them.

 

Silica asks, nervously, “What is that?”

 

Usagi thinks in her mind, nervously, “That…That hand…” Asuna and Kirito also gain nervous looks as remembrance comes into their minds.

 

The whole room starts to rumble and Lisbeth says, annoyed, “Not more of this!”

 

Mamoru says, seriously, “Move!” The group starts to move around as more hands come out of the floor and what looks like huge feet made of stone and concrete also come down from the ceiling trying to crush them.

 

Philia asks, “Where are they coming from?”

 

Lisbeth says, “All over the place!”

 

Kirito says, seriously, “Everyone! Get to the wall now! Now!”

 

Asuna yells out, “Do as Kirito-kun says! Hurry!” Immediately, the group gets to one of the far walls and when they get there, the hands and feet stop coming out of the floor and ceiling.

 

Kirito says, “I thought so.”

 

Usagi tells Kirito, “Kirito…” Kirito gives Usagi a nervous look in which the two of them look at Asuna and she nods her head at some kind of unsaid agreement.

 

Philia asks, “Usagi? Kirito? Asuna?”

 

Lisbeth asks, nervously, “What’s up with you three?”

 

The three of them look at each other and Kirito says, “I hope that we’re wrong, but we may have an idea on what this monster is.”

 

Silica asks, “You do?”

 

Asuna says, with a nod, “Yes, but we’re really hoping that we are wrong.”

 

Lisbeth says, nervously, “That doesn’t sound good.”

 

Kirito says, “I’ll draw it out.” But then the whole room starts to rumble and everyone looks in shock and surprise as a form starts to take shape from the floor and ceiling in the form of a massive golem with a jutting forehead, sunken eye sockets, a square nose, and a horizontal mouth with the eye sockets give off an eerie blue light with a complex symbol on its forehead.

 

Usagi says, fearfully, “No way. It can’t be…”

 

Mamoru asks, seeing Usagi’s fear, “Meatball Head…?”

 

Asuna also gives a great nervous look and Lisbeth asks, surprised, “Asuna, what’s wrong?”

 

Asuna croaks out, fearfully, “How? How can IT be here?”

 

Philia asks, confused, “What do you mean?”

 

Kirito responds, “That’s Fuscus the Vacant Colossus! The floor boss monster of the fifth floor of Aincrad!”

 

There are gasps of shock and horror and Minako asks, stunned, “Are you kidding me?!”

 

Philia asks, shocked, “What’s a floor boss monster from SAO doing here?!”

 

Kirito replies, with a nervous expression and serious tone, “That’s a good question! A REALLY good question.”

 

Lisbeth says, seriously, “One that we don’t have time for!”

 

Kirito says, remembering, “Watch out! It is about to unleash a defense lowering debuff!”

 

As the monster prepared to roar out, a female voice shouts out, “Not while I’m around!” Just then a blur enters the room and the monster immediately turns its attention to it only for a sword to impale itself on its forehead causing it to roar out in pain. Just then the ‘blur’ lands in the area near the wall where our group is at in which they look to see a female ‘player’ who looks exactly like Suguha, in facial features, but she has on a long black jacket with a green tube top under the jacket, tight fitting green jean shorts with a matching brown belt containing a sword sheath for the left side, and black boots.

 

Kirito asks, surprised, “Sugu?!”

 

The person responds, in Suguha’s voice, “Yeah, big brother. However, I have the same name here as I do in ALO: Leafa.” This ‘player’ revealed to be Suguha in her ‘AR form’ of Leafa asks, looking at the massive golem, “So, that thing came from SAO?”

 

Asuna says, with a nod, “Yes, Leafa-chan. It was the floor boss of the fifth floor of Aincrad. Kirito-kun, Usagi-chan, and I fought it with a raid party that we made up in order to prevent infight and possibly collapse of the Assault Team of that time.”

 

Kirito says, “And it is exactly like it was in SAO.”

 

Leafa says, glaring at the monster, “Damn it.” Her free hand not holding a sword tightens into a fist and she says, “This is getting irritating.”

 

Philia asks, “But how would they know how to replicate it?”

 

Asuna says, “I wish I knew, Philia-san.”

 

Leafa says, seriously, “For now, let’s focus on beating this thing and getting back to the others.”

 

Mamoru asks Usagi, “Are you ready for this?”

 

Usagi responds, with a determined tone on her face, “I’ve beat it before with Kirito, Asuna, and the others and I know that with all of you, I can beat it again.”

 

Leafa says, “Well, take it easy, sis. You aren’t used to AR battles yet.”

 

Lisbeth says, with a grin, “Well, I’m sure that we will do just fine with the ‘Black Swordswoman of Ordinal Scale’ on our side.”

 

Leafa flinches and Kirito and Usagi say in unison, “Black Swordswoman?!”

 

Leafa says, with a groan, “Explain later.” Leafa then glares at Lisbeth and Lisbeth flinches from the glare which says ‘I’m going to get you back for that’ as the group prepares to battle the former floor boss monster from SAO.

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Within UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, there is a man with a short brown hair, square glasses in front of his eyes, brown beard around his chin, and wearing a lab coat and looks like a scientist.

 

The man says, “Soon, Kayaba, I will exceed you, but there is one more element that I need to get.” The man then looks at a book and within that book, there is a picture of Aincrad itself. Elsewhere in the building, a group of figures is looking at a group of strange looking golden coins.

 

One of the figure says, in a female voice, “It is amazing that a being such as Zordon wouldn’t notice this.”

 

Another figure says, in a male voice, “Zordon may be an interdimensional being, but he isn’t a deity.”

 

A third figure says, in a male voice, “Indeed. And what we took was so small that not even Zordon would notice it at all.”

 

The second figure says, “Now that we have these, Lunar will be outmatched. Our mistaken in fighting him with Combatmen and ‘creatures’. It is time that we fight him on more even terms.”

 

The first figure says, “The Sailor Scouts will prove more difficult.”

 

The third figure says, “Yes, they are challenge. We may have crushed the ones on our Earth, but the ones on this Earth are different story. Not only are there more of them, but they are far more powerful especially with the Valkyrie level Sailor Scouts.”

 

The first figure says, “Based on the knowledge that we have acquired, they have the power to destroy whole solar systems…as their legend goes.”

 

The third figure says, “And they are living up to that legend thus far. However, even with all of their power, I doubt that they can stop what’s coming.”

 

The second figure says, “Well, thanks to that SAO survivor’s hot head, we lost our prototype to negate their powers.”

 

The third figure says, “True. Too true. However, we have proven that we can stop them and I’m sure that we can find other ways to make their abilities a ‘non-factor’.

 

The first figure asks, “And this Embryo?”

 

The third figure says, “He may prove very useful especially with his space-time weapons.”

 

The first figure says, “If we can get access to them.”

 

The third figure says, “Well, we may not need this Ragna-Mail Mechas in the first place. As he has explained to us, there are two already out there. We just need to find them.”

 

The second figure says, slyly, “And easier access to Etherion.”

 

The first figure says, “Until she regains her memories.”

 

The third figure says, slyly, “I doubt that it will be that simple for her since Embryo made that hard for her in the process.”

 

The first figure says, “True. However, if we know Embryo’s weaknesses, they will surely find them in time too.”

 

The third figure says, “Then we should make haste before they do.” The other figures nod their heads in agreement as they look at the strange golden coins that are giving off strong powerful auras with the coins have engravings of a T-rex, a mastodon, a sabertooth tiger, pterodactyl, a triceratops, and a dragon claw.
