Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online the Movie: Alternating Scales ❯ Scales of Confrontation ( Chapter 6 )

Here we are in the next ‘scene’ of this ‘movie’ and by now, there are plenty of people, especially SAO fans, feel that this story doesn’t have much of a ‘connection’ to the SAO movie. Well, I started developing this story before the movie started and when I had a ‘small idea’ of what it is about, so, this story is loosely based on Ordinal Scale. Anyway, with that ‘confusion’ fixed up, let’s get diving, everyone! However, before I start, I would like to give thanks and credit to Belletiger and 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.

 

Now, it is time log in everyone and I hope that no one will hate for this, but…LINK START!

Sailor Moon Online the Movie: Alternating Scales

 

Scene 6: Scales of Confrontation

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Right now, we find Ryoutarou, Davis, Kari, Tai, Matt, and Davis’ sister, Jun, are in the ‘digital realm’ of Ordinal Scale, wearing outfits and wielding weapons like other Ordinal Scale players are doing, in which they are known as Klein, Dai, Akari, Taichi, Yamato, and Junpier in Ordinal Scale.

 

Dai says, “Man! That quest was tough!”

 

Taichi says, with a nod, “You said it, pal!”

 

Klein says, with a grin, “Oh, come on! It wasn’t that bad!”

 

Junpier says, annoyed, “Are you kidding us, Klein? You take things a little too lightly.”

 

Klein responds, “No, I don’t.”

 

Just then a familiar male voice shouts out, “Hey!” Everyone then looks to see none other than Sammy Tsukino, in similar gear as our group is and called ‘Shingo’ like his ALO avatar, running up to them.

 

Dai says, “Hey there!”

 

Shingo says, “It’s about time that I found you.”

 

Junpier asks, “What’s up?”

 

Shingo says, “Just heard about a mad quest nearby.”

 

Dai asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

Taichi tells Dai, “Remember, we aren’t keeping playing this game for fun.”

 

Dai says, with a grin, “I know! But then again, it isn’t too bad that we have fun while saving the world.”

 

Akari says, with a smile, “Same old Dai-kun.” Just then everyone hears footsteps and they look to see Leafa leading Usagi, Kirito, Asuna, Silica, Lisbeth, Philia, Minako, Makoto, Hino, and Mamoru in which a lot of them had tired and haggard looks on their faces.

 

Dai says, shocked, “Whoa! What happened to you? It looks like you went through the ringer!”

 

Leafa responds, “That’s a pretty good way of putting it.”

 

Yamato says, “That doesn’t sound good.”

 

Junpier asks, curiously, “What happened?”

 

Lisbeth responds, “Silica and I learned what Kirito and Usagi felt as members of the Assault Team in SAO.”

 

Philia nods her head in agreement and Dai asks, curiously and confused, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

 

Taichi says, “Something tells me that it isn’t good.”

 

Kirito says, “Yeah, it isn’t.” The group then heads over to an area and discuss what happened to the group that Leafa is leading in which Klein, Dai, and their group is shocked at what they just heard.

 

Junpier yells out, “You have got to be kidding me!”

 

Makoto asks, seriously, “Does it look like we are kidding around?”

 

Kirito says, “It was exactly like that boss monster from Aincrad.”

 

Klein asks, confused, “But what’s a floor boss monster from SAO doing in this game?!”

 

Mamoru says, “That’s actually a good question and the theories that I can develop aren’t good ones.”

 

Dai says, plainly, “I’ll bet.”

 

Akari says, with a smile, “Well, I’m glad that everyone is okay.”

 

Taichi says, looking at Leafa, “Not surprising since she is here.”

 

Kirito says, looking at Leafa with a curious look, “I knew that Sugu was a top Ordinal Scale player, but I didn’t think that she gained a ‘reputation’…”

 

Leafa gives a yelp and Klein says, with a grin, “Heh. So, it looks like ‘big brother’ has learned ‘little sister’s’ little secret.”

 

Usagi asks, “Did everyone know about this other than Kirito and me?”

 

Minako says, with a nod, “Basically…yep.”

 

Lisbeth says, “Basically, it is exactly like it sounds. Leafa has emulated her big brother and become a bad-ass solo swordswoman.”

 

Leafa yells out, nervously, “It isn’t like that! You know darn well that I had my suspicions of UNI-SHOCKER and I was doing things on my own to investigate them.”

 

Lisbeth asks, teasingly, “Oh, by being a big shot elite member of Ordinal Scale?”

 

Leafa responds, with a blush on her cheeks, “Liz!”

 

Taichi says, nervously, “Okay, that’s enough of that.”

 

Yamato says, “We have more important stuff to think about.”

 

Kirito says, “I think that we had better discuss this with the others.”

 

Asuna says, “Good idea, Kirito-kun.”

 

Hino says, “Yeah, let’s log out and discuss this with the others.” The others nod their heads in agreement and prepare to log out of Ordinal Scale in order to rejoin the other and discuss what happened with them.

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Within UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, there is a figure looking over multiple holographic screen filled with images, facts, and figures and while we can’t see the figure’s face, we can see a wicked smirk on this person’s lips.

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

Back in the Juuban District, we are within the Game Center Crown arcade where our heroes and heroines are assembled together to discuss what just happened a while ago.

 

Yolei asks, shocked, “You’re kidding?!”

 

Kazuto tells Yolei, “I wish that we were kidding, Yolei.”

 

Asuna says, “I can confirm what Kirito-kun and Serena-chan saw as well. I remember that floor boss quite well.”

 

Ken says, “To think that a boss monster from SAO is in this game…”

 

Ryoutarou asks, “How is that possible?”

 

Amara says, “It seems like someone has been doing research.”

 

Kotone asks, “But how would they know about the boss monster from SAO?”

 

Darien says, “The only ones with enough information would be either SAO survivors or the government.”

 

Mimi asks, “The government?”

 

Ami says, “The SAO Task Force, remember? They have the details that they got from the servers through the information is limited.”

 

Asuna says, “Right. When I talked to him in ALO during with the incident in GGO with ‘Death Gun’, he mentioned about the limitations of the data that they got in which they only knew about where players were at what time within Aincrad, but they didn’t know if they were orange players for example.”

 

Kazuto says, “While that’s true, it doesn’t mean that they didn’t get information from other sources.”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “Seijirou did interview us in order get details of what happened in SAO…at least from our perspective of the top players.”

 

Darien asks Trista, “Were other players interviewed?”

 

Trista says, with a nod, “Yes, they wished to get a full view of what happened in SAO. They made sure not only to interview the top players, but they also interviewed other players that they know stayed in the Town of Beginnings and those that lived as ‘middle players’.”

 

Amara says, “Basically, they want a full and complete picture of what happened during those two years in SAO.”

 

Kazuto says, “And that information could have gotten out to them.”

 

Yolei asks, stunned, “But that…That shouldn’t be possible?”

 

[Sammy] says, “This is UNI-SHOCKER. Finding their way into government organization is one of their fortes. And that ‘VR Division’ went through a major ‘shakedown’ you told me.”

 

Kazuto says, “Yes, the incident with Sword Art World, a VRMMO based on SAO created by former beta testers of the game, in which they got government including security, but Sugou had ‘cooperate spies’ infiltrate the VRMMO club, Future Divers, which was founded by said former beta testers.”

 

Suguha says, “After it was found out that Sugou and his cronies had infiltrate the group and the game despite government assistants, the government, especially the VR Division, took major criticism from the people that really believed in the Full-Dive VR technology used this chance to really make hard for politicians to even think about being ‘restrictive’ towards Full-Dive VR technology and VRMMO games. The public mainly agreed with those that are pro-Full Dive VR.”

 

Serena says, “Expect Seijirou-san. Basically, he has been made out to be a ‘heroic whistle blower’.”

 

Amara says, rolling her eyes, “That will be the day.”

 

Rika says, with a nod, “No joke, Amara.”

 

Darien says, “Needless to say, with the VR Division going through ‘reorganization’ after the fallout from Sword Art World and UNI-SHOCKER could have infiltrated into the VR Division.”

 

Kazuto says, “I have to say that’s a high possibility.”

 

Asuna asks Kazuto, “What makes you say that Kirito-kun?”

 

Serena asks Kazuto, “You mean how Fuscus that we just face was much like the one on Aincrad?”

 

Kazuto says, “Exactly.”

 

Tai says, with a nod, “I see where you are getting at.”

 

Kari asks Tai, “What do you mean Tai?”

 

Davis asks Jun, “Wait, did you…?”

 

Jun says, “Yeah, we faced it before ourselves. We helped Kazuto, Asuna, and Serena defeat that floor boss before either of the major guilds could defeat it.”

 

Mimi asks, curiously, “Why did you have to do that?”

 

Matt says, “Due to a special item that the floor boss dropped that could have caused the whole ‘dynamics’ of the Assault Team players of the time, which is living in a ‘fragile peace’, to break apart entirely.”

 

TK says, “At the time, there were two major guilds for the ‘Assault Team’, the group of players that were advancing the game to escape SAO, and they were the Dragon Knights Brigade, later renamed the Divine Dragon Alliance, and the Aincrad Liberation Squad, which after the disaster on the twenty-five floor, merged with MMO Today to form the Aincrad Liberation Force.”

 

Jun says, with a sigh, “However, they were always competing with each other and not in a good way. The Dragon Knights Brigade were led by Lind and based on what we knew at the time, he changed his hairstyle and outfit to match Diabel, the inspiration leader of the first-floor boss raid that died during that battle, and the Aincrad Liberation Squad was led by Kibaou, another ‘fan’ of Diabel and he is a complete anti-tester.”

 

Lita says, “And who has gone completely to the ‘dark side’ and blames Serena and Kazuto for his loss of face and power as a leader of Aincrad Liberation Force.”

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “Basically, yes.”

 

Cody asks, “Something tells me that you know what happened back in the early days of SAO between Kazuto, Serena, and Asuna and those two groups?”

 

Tai says, with a nod, “Yeah, we worked our asses off and a short time after the third floor was opened, we joined them as the third guild of Aincrad. We called ourselves the Digital Knights.”

 

Tentomon says, “Digital Knights? Interesting name.”

 

Mimi says, with a smile, “I think that it was perfect.”

 

Yolei says, with a smile, “Personally, I think that it was too ironic.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “Personally, Asuna, Serena, and I were shocked to see a third guild so soon, but we were glad to have them.”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “Especially during the fifth floor.”

 

Kotone asks, “What happened at the fifth floor?”

 

Asuna says, “At the time, the main guilds, the Dragon Knights and the Aincrad Liberation, were at an ‘uneasy peace’ at best and what was happening going to break the peace. The Aincard Liberation Squad, the ALS for short, were going to sneak off and attempt to attack the floor boss alone.”

 

Keiko asks, surprised, “Alone?”

 

Rika says, “It was crazy! The floor boss was among the toughest enemies in all of SAO and this was the fifth-floor boss! It was obviously tougher than other floor bosses!”

 

Shion asks, “Why would they do that?”

 

Kazuto responds, “Because of the special prize that the boss dropped, it was an item known as a guild flag. It was a long pole arm that itself was not very powerful, but once planted on the ground, the flag increased the stats of all players that belong to the same guild in a large circular area around where the flag is planted. If the ALS got the flag, the balance of the players would collapse completely.”

 

Lita whistles and she says, “That sounds powerful.”

 

Amara says, with a nod, “That would be a powerful item in any guild’s employ and it would give them quite an edge as well as a boost in moral.”

 

Serena says, “And drop the moral of the Dragon Knights and giving the ALS an edge that could cause the Dragon Knight guild to collapse which would threaten our progress up Aincrad as a whole.”

 

Mimi asks, “Which is why you went it with so few people?”

 

TK says, with a nod, “Bingo, Mimi.”

 

Kazuto says, “At the time, the players…the ‘people’ stirring up the conflict were the prelude to the red players that we know and loath, but at the time, instead of direct killings, they tried the provoke players against each other and create actions where players would die. They were led by the man that would become the leader of the Laughing Coffin red player guild and the group that he led were probably the prelude to Laughing Coffin.”

 

Plenty of the others gasp and Cody says, “Him…”

 

Matt says, with a nod, “That’s right, Cody. We didn’t know about them at time. Only Serena, Kazuto, and Asuna knew about them.”

 

Asuna says, with a sigh, “We didn’t even tell Argo about them at the time. We didn’t want to put other players especially Argo in danger.” Asuna says, looking at Kazuto and Serena, “So, Kirito-kun, Serena-chan, and I agreed that we would keep that information to ourselves.” Asuna says, with a sigh, “However, we kept fearing that they would move from trying to cause PK through provocation to taking matters into their own wicked hands.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “And that day came around one year had passed since the start of SAO…The official birth of the red guild, Laughing Coffin.”

 

The SAO survivors in the group solemnly nod at what Kazuto is implying by his words and Darien asks Serena, “So, you took a small group with you?”

 

Serena responds, a bit unsure in her tone of voice, “I wouldn’t say small. With Kazuto, Asuna, and I, there was Argo, Agil and his three friends, two members of the Dragon Knights, two members of the ALS, and Nezha, a member of the Legend Braves, a group of friends who were ‘seduced’ into performing an equip scam, along with…”

 

Tai says, “Us, the Digital Knights, the third guild formed after the start of SAO.”

 

Mina says, “That’s a total of nineteen people.”

 

Kazuto says, “A good sized group, but nowhere near the numbers for a floor boss. With them, it is better for a full raid with forty-eight members at least.”

 

Serena says, “And even then, it is very dangerous.” Asuna, Kazuto, and Ryoutarou as well as other SAO survivors in the ground can nod their heads in agreement.

 

Jun asks, “So, you can say that it was exactly the same?”

 

Kazuto says, “Very much, Jun.”

 

Darien says, “And that’s why you suspect that there are agents in the government.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “That’s right. It wasn’t just Serena and I that were interviewed and the SAO Task Force in which they had the data that they got from the severs as well as any and all data relevant to it.”

 

Cody says, “It is the only way that they could make that version of that same monster exactly like it.”

 

Amara says, with a nod, “That’s a good point, Cody.”

 

Lita says, “Well, they have been around for a while.”

 

Ken says, looking at [Sammy], “And they already have experience in these kinds of things and they have been in our universe for a while.”

 

TK says, “And with the ‘shakedown’ from the fallout from Sword Art World, they could have easily snuck their agents into the VR Division of the Ministry.”

 

Tai says, with a nod, “Very true. That means that we can’t rely on them.”

 

Kazuto says, nodding his head, “That’s right, Tai. Since UNI-SHOCKER agents are within the VR Division or someone in that division is under their employ as some kind of agent or spy, it is best that we keep them out of the loop.”

 

Davis says, with a nod, “No darn kidding.”

 

Yolei asks, “So, what’s our next move?”

 

Mina asks, “Yeah, that’s a good point. What is our next move?”

 

Darien asks Amara, “Anything from UNI-SHOCKER headquarters?”

 

Amara responds, plainly, “Nothing at all. They make sure that you can’t get close enough for close range observation and long-range observation is just useless.”

 

[Sammy] says, “I wasn’t really surprised. As I have said before, they have experience…A LOT of experience.”

 

Amara asks [Sammy], “Personal experience?”

 

[Sammy] says, “Not surprising since I’ve been the only one holding the line against them. It gets tougher and tougher to attack them from the inside or figuring their next move.”

 

Rika says, “Shouldn’t be surprising since you are dealing with an evil multi-million to multi-billion-dollar criminal organization.”

 

[Sammy] says, sarcastically, “That’s a big obvious.”

 

Serena asks, getting nervous, “If they are so interested in virtual technology and SAO…?”

 

Kazuto asks, plainly, “You think that they might be interested in Sugou?”

 

There are gasps of shock and Asuna asks, a bit nervously, “Sugou?”

 

Kotone asks, “He was the person that tried to use ALO and Sword Art World for his sick experiments in mind control, right?”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Yes. He trapped Asuna and three hundred others in ALO before it was put under Ymir’s control. He kept Asuna trapped in a virtual cage while he experimented on three hundred others. Thankfully, they didn’t suffer any permanent damage of any sort.”

 

Davis says, “And his group was responsible for what happened in Sword Art World.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod and a snort, “Through Kayaba didn’t help.”

 

Kari says, “They were working with memory altering and such.” Kari says, shivering a bit, “Suguha, Dai-kun, and I should know.” Davis puts his arms around Kari in a comforting manner and she smiles at him warmly.

 

Darien says, “However, last time that I checked, Sugou is without his memory himself.”

 

Keiko asks, “Did Suguha-chan erase his memory in Sword Art World?”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah, I did that after…” Suguha becomes solemn and Serena, Asuna, Kazuto, Davis, and Kari comfort Suguha wordless on that point.

 

[Suguha] asks, curiously, “What is that all about?”

 

Rika says, “It is best not to talk about it now.”

 

Darien says, “Even after SAO was finished, we are still living that legacy every day.”

 

Matt says, “And I have a bad feeling that this latest ‘adventure’ is just another chapter in that story.”

 

Tusk asks, scratching his head, “What kind of a person would take a technology that could benefit a lot of people and use it in such a horrific way?”

 

Suguha says, with a plain tone and stern stare, “A man that only cares about him…No, not a man…”

 

[Suguha] says, with a plain tone, “…A fiend that only sees what’s ahead of him and not what’s all around him.” Everyone else looks at [Suguha] and after she shakes her head, she says, nervously, “I-I don’t know why I said that.”

 

Darien says, “It might be possible that it is a memory.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “A memory?”

 

Trista says, “We have confirmed that most of your memories have been removed by unnatural means, but plenty of your memories remain suppressed due to the trauma of the removal of most of them.”

 

Tusk asks, “So, what she just said…?”

 

Amara says, with a nod, “Was reacting to what our Suguha said since it triggered something in her.” Amara says, “And that answers something.”

 

Hotaru asks, curiously, “Answers something, Amara-papa?”

 

Amara says, “It means that like our Suguha, this Suguha has confronted her Kayaba directly.”

 

There are a lot of shocked looks and Tai asks, “Wait! How can you be so sure?”

 

Amara says, looking at Suguha, “That kind of statement can only come from the heart as well as the head in which it has made a deep impression.”

 

Mina says, “Well, she could have regained her memories of the Silver Millennium when she became Sailor Celestial for the time in her timeline and let’s say that remembering what happened back then can be real…”

 

Mina looks at Suguha and she says, with a smile, “No problem, Mina-chan. You have a point.” Suguha says, with a plain tone, “However, I have to agree with Amara.”

 

Yolei asks, surprised, “Huh?”

 

Kazuto says, “Sugu…”

 

Suguha says, with a sigh, “I really don’t know how to explain it, but what I said does come from the fact that I had faced Kayaba personally in this life.”

 

Plenty of the others look at [Suguha] and Ken asks Suguha, “So, you really think that your counterpart personally fought against Kayaba?”

 

Suguha says, looking at her counterpart, “I believe…No, I know so. I know that Heathcliff and her…” When Suguha mentions the name ‘Heathcliff’, [Suguha] holds her head as images of Kayaba in his SAO avatar of Heathcliff and what looks like the inside of a grand palace come to her mind.

 

[Suguha] stumbles backwards and Ange says, “Suguha!”

 

Ange catches [Suguha] and she asks, “What the heck?!”

 

[Suguha] responds, “I’m okay, Ange.”

 

Tusk asks, “What happened? Did you remember something?”

 

[Suguha] says, with a nod, “Yes. I remember…a man in a blood red knight’s armor with a large shield that has a red cross on it…”

 

Kazuto says, “Sounds like Kayaba’s SAO avatar of Heathcliff to me.”

 

[Suguha] says, “I remember…being inside of a palace…that’s filled with…ruby red…and I…I’m wearing…” [Suguha] then says, looking at her counterpart, “Something like you are wearing. Your armor.”

 

Tai asks, “Are you certain that it is a memory?”

 

Mimi asks, “Why do you ask that Tai?”

 

Darien says, “Since Embryo messed with her memory by stealing them, he could have implanted false memories to bring her to his side.” Darien says, “However, I really doubt that’s a false memory.”

 

Amara says, with a nod, “Agreed. Embryo wouldn’t know anything about Kayaba or SAO before he came to our world.”

 

Mina asks, curiously, “How can you be so certain?”

 

Trista says, “There is a point to Mina-chan’s question. We aren’t sure how Embryo found a way to get into the alternate timeline and kidnap Suguha’s counterpart.” Trista says, “However, what Darien and Amara are implying may be a valid theory up to the point before Suguha’s counterpart came to Ange’s, Tusk’s, and Vivian’s Earth.”

 

Hotaru asks Trista, “What do you mean?”

 

Trista responds, looking at [Suguha], “I feel that our princess’ counterpart had faced her version of Kayaba in her timeline and somehow, she fell or was taken into the areas between worlds where Embryo found her. He learned of her power and tried to ‘mold’ her, but something happened that got her thrown into Ange’s, Tusk’s, and Vivian’s Earth. Most likely, she put up some kind of resistance that put some kind of ‘effect’ on him since he didn’t go after her right away.”

 

Davis says, “Serves that bastard right.”

 

Ange says, “However, it didn’t last long. Since Suguha came from another world, the Light of Mana didn’t affect her, and she was picked up like she was a Norma.”

 

Trista says, “I believe that there is more than Suguha coming from an alternate Earth is the reason why she wasn’t affected by the ‘power’ that the majority of your Earth’s citizens use as we have discussed before.”

 

Tusk asks, “What do you mean?”

 

Trista responds, “You said it yourself, Tusk. Didn’t you mention on how your ancestors, the Ancient Humans, explain how your Earth got to the way that it did because of Embryo?”

 

Ken asks Trista, “Wait! Are you saying that the Embryo is the source of this ‘Light of Mana’?”

 

Ange asks, shocked, “What?!”

 

Amara says, “Based on what Tusk said, it makes perfect sense.”

 

Izzy says, “I have to agree and the reason that their ‘Light of Mana’ didn’t work on her is because since it came from Embryo and he is obviously an enemy, Suguha’s powers sensed Embryo’s ‘wickedness’ within that power and made sure that she doesn’t get infected by it.”

 

Raye says, “Our powers sometimes managed to do that too.”

 

Lita says, with a nod, “That’s not outside of the realm of possibility.”

 

[Sammy] asks, “Shouldn’t we focus on our current situation?”

 

Darien says, with a nod, “I think that Sammy has a good point. Let’s focus on the situation at hand.”

 

Kazuto says, “What we do know is that a floor boss from SAO has appeared in Ordinal Scale and it is pretty much the same between both games.”

 

Kotone asks, “But why would they put that within Ordinal Scale?”

 

Asuna says, “That’s a good question, Kotone-chan.”

 

Darien says, “And I don’t like the possibilities on why.”

 

Amara says, with a nod, “No kidding.”

 

Tai says, with a nod, “Triple that.”

 

TK asks, “What’s our next move?”

 

Ken says, “That’s a good question, TK.”

 

Wormmon asks, “Why do you say that Ken?”

 

Ken says, “They are probably knowledgeable about various spying techniques and they know plenty of countermeasures.”

 

[Sammy] says, “That’s a big obvious.”

 

Yolei asks, annoyed, “Then what do you suggest?”

 

[Sammy] says, “Our best bet is to go the ‘roundabout route’ and try for those people and companies connected with UNI-SHOCKER here. UNI-SHOCKER has the tops when it comes to security, but they can’t help all of their ‘assistants’, willing and unwilling.”

 

Darien says, “And that’s a good point.”

 

TK says, “We should keep playing Ordinal Scale.”

 

Mina asks TK, “Why is that TK?”

 

Amara responds, “Make them think that we are going for the ‘direct approach’ while others can ‘sneak in’ the ‘back door’.”

 

Suguha says, “Not to insult anyone, but since I’m Sailor Celestial and I’m a top player in Ordinal Scale…”

 

Rika says, with a smirk, “Which her big brother and sister are shocked to learn.”

 

Suguha says, with a blush of embarrassment, “Anyway, it makes me the best ‘lure’ for all of them.”

 

Cody says, “However, I believe that Davis, Kari, Kazuto, and Serena should also keep playing the game since they are among are most ‘prominent members’.”

 

Asuna asks, stunned, “What?”

 

Davis says, “Well, we are tops in the ‘chain of command’ and they are going to keep a close eye on us.”

 

Tai says, with a nod, “No joke. The ‘Black Swordsman’ of SAO, the leader of Juuban Sailor Scouts, and I’ve got to admit that Davis and Kari have their own ‘claims to fame’.”

 

Kari responds, “Forgive me if I don’t like the ‘spotlight’ big brother.”

 

TK says, “Don’t blame you, Kari.”

 

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “As much as I hate to admit it, I have to agree. We quite ‘prominent’ for various reasons…including ones that we don’t want.”

 

Serena says, with a solemn sigh, “Yeah, no kidding.”

 

Kotone asks Kazuto, “Do you really have to use yourself as bait Kazuto?”

 

Kazuto replies, “It is the best bet to keep them off-balance. They aren’t fools. They will suspect that something is up, but hopefully, we can make them believe that we are using the direct approach and keep some ‘back doors’ open for us.”

 

Darien says, “We should discuss our strategy against both Embryo and UNI-SHOCKER.”

 

Vivian says, wearing an Augma over her left eye, “Man! How can something so cool be so dangerous? I think that this is really awesome.”

 

Ange tells Vivian, “I still don’t like you having that thing, Vivian.”

 

Vivian says, with a smile, “Ah, come on! What’s the harm? This is really fun, Ange!”

 

Ange responds, “Vivian, have you been listening to them?” The group then discusses tactics and strategies to use against their enemies which are UNI-SHOCKER and the mysterious Embryo. When they are done, our heroes and heroines decide to head back to their homes for the day and they head off, but what they don’t know is that some distance away and above them on the tops of the buildings and skyscrapers, there are a group of figures watching them with binoculars and other observation gear in which they are speaking into smart phones.

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, Kirigaya residence

 

Inside of the Kirigaya residence, Kazuto, Suguha, and our Celestial Senshi’s counterpart are together and Suguha says, “It feels good to get back to ALO.”

 

Kazuto says, “Yeah, it does, Sugu.”

 

[Suguha] says, “Wish that I could go with you. I really feel so…familiar with it.”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “We know.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a snort, “This really sucks and stinks.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “Don’t worry. We will get your memories back.”

 

Suguha says, “No joke. No guy with a god-complex is going to beat us.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a nod, “Yeah.”

 

[Suguha] sighs and Kazuto ask, “Is something wrong?”

 

[Suguha] replies, with a solemn tone, “I just hope that my friends in Azrael are okay.” [Suguha] says, “You know, I don’t think that I can call them friends. Comrades, but friends…”

 

Suguha asks, “Why is that?”

 

[Suguha] replies, “Let’s just say that we didn’t get along too well. In fact, I didn’t exactly get along with Ange at first.”

 

Suguha says, with a smile, “I can’t say that I’m surprised.”

 

[Suguha] says, “Ange has been through a lot, okay? She isn’t a bad person once you get to know her.”

 

Kazuto says, a bit nervously, “That might take a while.”

 

Suguha says, with a smile, “Quite a while. However, I know that deep down, she is a good person.”

 

Kazuto asks Suguha, “Your emotion sensing powers have gotten quite good.”

 

Suguha says, with a grin, “It is a gift, big bro.”

 

[Suguha] asks, confused, “Emotion sensing powers?”

 

Suguha responds, “Remember, I’m the Sailor Scout of Reality and my power encompasses a lot including the ‘elements’ of the other Sailor Scouts. Raye and Amara have their own ‘sensory’ abilities with them able to sense ‘negative auras’. When I become Sailor Celestial, I gained similar sensory abilities through far more powerful since I am a stronger Sailor Senshi. Basically, it means that I can tell if a person is good or bad.”

 

Kazuto says, “However, it wasn’t easy at first. She had to learn how to control this sensory ability.”

 

Suguha says, “Yeah, no kidding. Being able to sense every single weirdo and pervs when they aren’t a danger to people, society, or a planet really gets annoying.” Just then they hear some kind of ring tone and Suguha takes out a smart phone in which she activates it causing her to say, “Hello?”

 

A female voice says, “Suguha Kirigaya?”

 

[Suguha] thinks in her mind, hearing the voice, “That voice…”

 

Suguha responds, getting a ‘bad feeling’, “Yes?”

 

The female voice responds, “You should look at your smart phone’s screen right now.” Suguha gives a surprised look and when she, along with Kazuto and [Suguha], look at the screen, they gasp to see a captured Kotone and Elizabeth Furuhata on the screen.

 

Kazuto says, shocked and focusing on Kotone, “Kotone!”

 

The female voice says over the phone, “I believe that I have got your attention Suguha Kirigaya…or shall I call you Sailor Celestial?”

 

Suguha yells out, strongly, “What do you want?”

 

The female voice responds, “If you wish to see your precious friend intact and alive, you will come to the location with your brother and your counterpart to the location that I’m sending you. And don’t get me started, we know that your ‘doppelganger’ is another version of you.”

 

Suguha asks, sternly, “Are you with UNI-SHOCKER?”

 

The female voice retorts, “You will find out. You, your counterpart, and your brother will come alone, but you will be joined by Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask who will be joined by Ange, Tusk, and Vivian at the location since we kidnapped one of their civilian friends as you can see.”

 

Kazuto says, seriously, “That’s Elizabeth!”

 

Suguha says, focusing on Elizabeth, “The younger sister of the owner of the Fruit Parlor café and Crown Center arcade? Ah, crud!”

 

The female voice says, “None of the other Sailor Scouts, Digidestined, or your other friends and allies will be allowed to get close or they will die.”

 

Kazuto says, angrily, “If you harm them…”

 

The female voice responds, “Or you’ll what, Kazuto Kirigaya? You will come now.” The call then cuts off and a map appears on the screen of Suguha’s smart phone in which the three people in the room look at each other.

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District

 

Heading into the Odiaba District of Tokyo, Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Tusk, Ange, and Vivian are together as they walk into a mall area which is seemly and mysterious empty.

 

Tusk tells Ange, “This is a trap.”

 

Ange responds, “No kidding, Tusk.”

 

Sailor Moon tells Ange, “Thank you for your help in this.”

 

Ange responds, “It isn’t like I’m helping you. I want to confirm something.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “You know whose voice was on the phone.”

 

Ange glares at Tuxedo Mask and Vivian asks, “How did you know that?”

 

Tuxedo Mask responds, with a smile, “It doesn’t take a detective to know people’s expressions.”

 

Suguha’s voice booms, “Sailor Moon! Tuxedo Mask!” Everyone looks to see Valkyrie Sailor Celestial, Kazuto, and [Suguha] walking in on them.

 

Ange yells out, annoyed, “You brought her here?”

 

[Suguha] tells Ange, “Ange, their friends got kidnapped cause of us. I can’t just sit back.” [Suguha] says, “And this is the reason that you are here.”

 

Ange responds, “No way, Suguha! I’m just here because I want to find out…”

 

[Suguha] asks, finishing for Ange, “Who that voice is? You know it too huh?”

 

Ange asks [Suguha], “So, you feel the same way, huh?” When [Suguha] nods her head, Ange says, “I thought so.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Okay! We’re here! Where are they? They had better not be hurt!” Just then metal gates come down around the windows and doors of the mall of the area and the lights focus on a tied up Kotone and Elizabeth.

 

Suguha says, shocked, “Kotone!”

 

Sailor Moon says, stunned, “Elizabeth!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Let them go!”

 

A familiar female voice says, “Not a chance pretty boy!” Just then Salia and Chris step out into the open.

 

[Suguha] asks, stunned, “Salia? Chris?”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “You know them?”

 

Tusk says, “They are Suguha’s and Ange’s comrades from Azrael.”

 

Vivian says, excitedly, “Hey! You are okay!” Vivian prepares to run over to them, but Ange stops her causing Vivian to look at Ange confused.

 

Ange says, “Stay back, Vivian.”

 

Vivian asks, confused, “Why?”

 

Salia tells Ange, with a smile, “Hello, Ange.”

 

Ange asks, seriously, “What are you doing here?”

 

Sailor Moon asks, “Shouldn’t the question be: HOW are they here?”

 

Kazuto says, narrowing his eyes, “I have an idea and it isn’t a good one.”

 

Salia says, looking at Sailor Celestial, “So, you are this world’s version of Suguha, huh? Color me impressed.”

 

Ange says, with a smirk, “Since they are your magical cosplay dream come true on steroids.” Salia yelps and flushes with embarrassment causing the others to look at her.

 

Sailor Moon asks, “Huh?”

 

Salia yells out, annoyed, “Y-You don’t know what you are talking about!”

 

Ange responds, slyly, “Then why are you as red as a tomato?”

 

Salia growls at Ange and Tusk asks, seriously, “How are you here on this Earth?”

 

Salia responds, with a smile, “We are here to assist Master Embryo.”

 

There are gasps and [Suguha] asks, shocked, “What?!”

 

Chris says, “You heard Salia, Suguha. We are Master Embryo’s elite guard: The Diamond Rose Knights.”

 

Ange asks, “The ‘Diamond Rose Knights’? Seriously?”

 

Salia asks, annoyed, “And what’s that supposed to mean?”

 

[Suguha] yells out, strongly, “I can’t believe you! You betrayed all of your comrades for that sicko! Don’t you know he is responsible for the world that you live in?!”

 

Salia shouts out, strongly, “You don’t know anything about Master Embryo, Suguha! You don’t know anything!”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Really? I think that we know enough.”

 

Salia tells Sailor Moon, “I have to say that I’ve studied you, Miss Sailor Moon…Or do you prefer Miss Tsukino?”

 

There are plenty of winches from the others and Sailor Celestial asks, annoyed, “And how many people are learning our identities?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “It shouldn’t be too surprising. Embryo must have learned it from UNI-SHOCKER and since they are his ‘elite guard’…”

 

Kazuto says, seriously, “It shouldn’t be surprising that they know it too.”

 

Salia says, “I have to say that when I watched you before...All I saw was a complete joke. A whiny crybaby that managed to defeat the most destructive forces of her universe by the skin of her teeth.”

 

Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, with a winch, “Lay it down thick why don’t you?”

 

Salia says, “However, your level of improvement is quite impressive, and you have turned into quite a formidable fighter.”

 

Sailor Moon says, seriously, “Forgive me if I don’t enjoy your flattery.”

 

Chris says, “It isn’t flattery. Your skills and abilities are indeed impressive. Master Embryo was quite impressed to meet you personally.”

 

Sailor Moon responds, with a stern glare, “Well, you see, I wasn’t impressed with him.”

 

Salia says, “It is because you don’t see him for what he truly is.”

 

Sailor Moon replies, with a stern glare, “I can see just fine and let’s just say…I’m not impressed.”

 

Salia says, with a snarl, “Ugh! Just like a princess! I can see why you and Ange get along!” Ange and Sailor Moon glance at each other and Salia says, “It seems like all princesses are alike and they are so full of themselves.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, with a smirk, “Aren’t you calling the kettle black?”

 

Salia asks, “What’s that supposed to mean?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a sly smile, “You are acting so full of yourself that you must be a princess too.”

 

Salia yells out, annoyed, “Why you…!!”

 

Chris says, with a sigh and plain tone, “Enough of this.” Chris steps forward and she says, “We are here for them.” Chris points to [Suguha], Ange, and Vivian and Chris say, “Master Embryo says that he wants them in his presence immediately.”

 

[Suguha] says, annoyed, “Sorry if I reject the invitation.”

 

Chris says, “You make it sound like you have a choice. You don’t.”

 

Ange says, with a glare, “Oh, really? If you think that I’m going to give up without a fight, then you are sadly mistaken.”

 

Salia says, pointing to Kotone and Elizabeth, “You forget that we have prisoners.”

 

Ange asks, “Yeah?” Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial give Ange a look of shock while Tusk and [Suguha] sigh at that.

 

Chris then displays a black and red version of the duel disk that Sailor Celestial and Sailor Moon uses, and Tuxedo Mask says, surprised, “That duel disk…”

 

Salia says, with a smile, “Let’s just say that we are quite impressed with your world and its technological wonders. Including ones that made simple games become quite…intense.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “So, let me guess? You want to duel?”

 

Chris says, “Let’s just say that this is a little ‘test’.”

 

Kazuto asks, curiously, “Test?”

 

Salia says, “And you can’t refuse.” Salia says, pointing to Kotone and Elizabeth, “Something might happen to your little friends that they and you won’t enjoy.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, attaching her duel disk to her armored left wrist, “Fine. You want to duel? Well, I’ll give you a duel!” Sailor Celestial inserts her deck into her duel disk while Chris does the same and the two of them activate their duel disks causing the energy blades that contain the Monster and Pendulum Card Zones in which the touch screen displays 4000 life-points for each duelist while they draw five cards from their respective decks.

 

“Duel!” Sailor Celestial and Chris say as their duel begins.

 

Tuxedo Mask thinks in his mind, “Something doesn’t feel right.” Tuxedo Mask glances at Sailor Moon and Kazuto and both of them nod their heads in agreement which goes unseen by everyone else.

 

Tusk says, “I think that we should get out of the way.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Good idea. Real Solid Vision duels aren’t like ones with the original Solid Vision. It is like you are truly bringing monsters to life.” Sailor Moon, Tuxedo Mask, Ange, Tusk, Vivian, Kazuto, and [Suguha] move off to the side with Salia and Chris glancing at them which is noticed by Sailor Moon, Kazuto, Tuxedo Mask, Ange, and Tusk.

 

Starting Scores:

Sailor Celestial: 4000

Chris: 4000

 

Sailor Celestial says, drawing a card, “Let me show you how this is done! I draw!” Sailor Celestial says, displaying Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon (1200/2400) and Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon (1200/600) Pendulum Monster cards, “I set scale one Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and scale eight Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon and set the Pendulum Scale!” Sailor Celestial puts the two cards in her Pendulum Zones causing the word ‘Pendulum’ in rainbow colors to appear in the Monster Card Zones which the two monsters appear on the field in two columns of light with the number 1 below Odd-Eyes Persona Dragon and number 8 below Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon. As Sailor Celestial’s crystal pendulum between the two monsters and it starts to swing, Sailor Celestial says, “Now, I can summon monsters that are levels two through seven this turn! Now, swing pendulum! Draw the arc of light to victory! Pendulum Summon!” Sailor Celestial says, putting two cards on her duel disk, “Come on down, dragon of the duel eyes, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon! And mighty knife warrior, Performapal Dag Daggerman!” A circle of light appears, two lights come from the circle of light, and they turn into Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) and Performapal Dag Daggerman (2000/600), a male humanoid monster that looks like a circus knife thrower, appear on the field in attack mode. Sailor Celestial says, displaying the Pendulum Monster card, Performapal Laugh Maker (2500/2000), “Now, I use Dag Daggerman’s ability! When he is Pendulum Summoned, I can send one Performapal monster from my hand to the grave and draw a new card!” Sailor Celestial sends the graveyard to her graveyard slot, draws a card, and she says, putting two cards into the main slot of her duel disk, “Now, I end my turn with two cards face-down.”

 

Chris says, drawing a card, “My move.”

 

Ange thinks in her mind, “What are they thinking? Forcing us into this game! A very dangerous game due to the technology, but…” Ange looks at everyone around her and she thinks, “Well, I can see that it is more than just me.”

 

Chris then displays two Pendulum Monsters, two Spirit Reactors (0/0 X 2), and she says, “With my two Spirit Reactors, I set the Pendulum Scale.” Chris then puts the two cards on her disk’s Pendulum Zones and causing the word ‘Pendulum’ to appear in the Monster Card Zones in rainbow colors.

 

Sailor Moon asks, shocked, “Pendulum?!”

 

Kazuto says, shocked, “But how?! I thought that only Sugu and Serena had those cards!”

 

Tusk says, plainly, “Not anymore.”

 

The two Spirit Reactors appear in two columns of light with the number 1 below each of them and Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “Hold up! Both of them are scale one! She can’t Pendulum Summon with those! Does she want to rely on their Pendulum abilities?”

 

Chris says, pointing to one of the Spirit Reactors, “I activate the Pendulum ability of this Spirit Reactor. Now, I can copy the Pendulum Scale of one of your Pendulum Monsters.” Chris says, pointing to Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon, “And I copy Odd-Eyes Mirage Dragon.”

 

There are gasps from the others and Tuxedo Mask says, “That means…!!” The Spirit Reactor’s scale number goes from number 1 up to number 8.

 

Chris says, as a circle of light appears on the field, “And now, I can summon monsters that are levels two through seven this turn.” Chris says, putting two cards on her duel disk, “Pendulum Summon! Come forth, Windwitch-Glass Bell and Windwitch-Ice Bell!” Two lights come from the circle and they turn into Windwitch-Glass Bell (1500/1500), a female sorceress/witch monster with green hair and riding a broom, and Windwitch-Ice Bell (1000/1000), a similar female monster to Glass Bell, but with long dark blue hair, appear on the field in attack mode. Chris says, “Thanks to Ice Bell’s ability, when she is summoned, you suffer five hundred points of damage.” Ice Bell then unleashes a hail storm that causes Sailor Celestial ‘discomfort’ as she loses 500 life-points and Chris says, as a card comes out of her deck, “Now, due to Glass Bell’s ability, I can add one Windwitch monster from my deck to my hand. Next, I tune my Glass Bell with my Ice Bell!” Glass Bell becomes four stars that turn into four rings that surround Ice Bell, turning it transparent, and a column of light appears on the field. As she gets a Synchro Monster card from her Extra Deck, she says, “Winds of winter, snow, and ice! Become my power to blow everything away! Synchro Summon!” Chris puts the Synchro Monster card on her duel disk and she says, “Appear now, Windwitch-Winter Bell!” Out of the column of light, Windwitch-Winter Bell (2400/2000), a large blue humanoid monster with a green ‘center’, appears on the field in attack mode. Chris says, “I use her ability. I target my Glass Bell and you suffer damage equal to two hundred points times its level!” Winter Bell shakes around and creating a loud bell sound that forces everyone that can to cover their ears as Sailor Celestial loses 800 life-points. Chris says, “And now, Winter Bell attacks Dag Daggerman.” Winter Bell unleashes an ice storm that destroys Dag Daggerman in which Sailor Celestial winches from the cold as she loses 400 more life-points.

 

Kazuto says, concerned, “Sugu!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “I’m okay, big brother.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “She’s good.”

 

Chris says, putting two cards into the main slot of her disk, “I end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Sailor Celestial: 2300

Chris: 4000

 

Sailor Celestial says, drawing a card, “My move!” Sailor Celestial says, the crystal pendulum appears again, “With the set Pendulum Scale, I Pendulum Summon!” As a circle of light appears on the field, Sailor Celestial puts a card that came out of her Extra Deck back on her duel disk, and she says, “Revive from my Extra Deck: Dag Daggerman!” A light comes from the circle and it is revealed to be Performapal Dag Daggerman (2000/600) in attack mode and Sailor Celestial says, discarding Performapal Helpprincess (1200/1200) monster card to her disk’s graveyard slot, “Next, I use Dag Daggerman’s ability and send one Performapal to my graveyard and draw!” Sailor Celestial draws one card from her deck, looks at it, and she says, putting the card into the main slot, “I activate Polymerization! I fuse Dag Daggerman and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!” The two said monsters then go into a fusion vortex as Sailor Celestial gets a Fusion Monster card and she says, putting the Fusion Monster card on her duel disk, “Show yourself, dragon of the courageous eyes: Brave-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!” Out of the vortex, Brave-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (3000/2000), a golden and red armored version of Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, appears on the field in attack mode and Sailor Celestial says, “Now, due to his ability, all other monsters have their attack points become zero and they lose their special abilities!” Brave-Eyes Pendulum Dragon unleashes a powerful red flame that causes Winter Bell to go from 2400/2000 to 0/2000.

 

Vivian says, excitedly, “Awesome!”

 

Sailor Celestial shouts out, “Brave-Eyes, attack her Winter Bell now! Spiral Flare Burst!” Brave-Eyes unleashes a powerful blue flame right at Winter Bell.

 

Chris says, “Spirit Reactor’s next ability activates. When there is an Earth, Water, Fire, or Wind on the field, I can negate the destruction of one monster on the field.” An aura surrounds Winter Bell and Brave-Eyes’ attack is stopped right there.

 

Sailor Celestial says, “But you still take damage!”

 

As the flames goes pass Winter Bell and head for Chris, she pushes a button her disk’s touch screen and she says, “My Defense Draw trap card will stop that.” Chris’ face-down card is revealed to be a Defense Draw trap card and she says, “This trap card protects me from damage from your attack.” A shield protects Chris and she says, drawing a card, “And I draw one card.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “However, since your monster battled mine and it wasn’t destroyed, it is removed from play!” Winter Bell yells out as she is engulfed by blue flames and vanishes causing Chris to snarl. Sailor Celestial says, with a smile, “I think that’s enough damage for now.”

 

Chris says, drawing a card, “My move.” Chris says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I play Synchro from Beyond spell card! Now, I can return one Synchro Monster removed from play back to the field, but its abilities are negated, and it is removed from play at the end my turn.” Soon after, Windwitch-Winter Bell (2400/2000) reappears on the field in attack mode and Chris says, putting one more card into the main slot of her disk, “Next, I play Polymerization.” Windwitch-Snow Bell (100/100) appears by Winter Bell and Chris says, “I fuse the Tuner monster, Snow Bell, with my Winter Bell.” Winter Bell and Snow Bell goes into a fusion vortex while Chris gets a Fusion Monster card from her Extra Deck and puts it on her duel disk causing her to say, “Cast your spell, Windwitch-Crystal Bell.” Out of the fusion vortex, Windwitch-Crystal Bell (2800/2400), a large crystal blue floating female humanoid monster, appear on the field in attack mode. Chris says, “Now, Crystal Bell’s ability allows her to gain the ability of monster in the graveyard until the End Phase and I choose my Winter Bell. Now, Winter Bell’s ability allows me to choose a Windwitch in my graveyard and you take damage two hundred times its level in which I choose the original Winter Bell.” A loud bell sound is heard and everyone that’s able covers their eyes from the loud sound as Sailor Celestial loses 1400 more life-points.

 

Sailor Moon says, “Man. She is really good.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “A little too good. She isn’t from this Earth and she learned about this game so quickly is quite unusual.”

 

Chris says, “I end my turn.”

 

Current Score:

Sailor Celestial: 900

Chris: 4000

 

Sailor Celestial says, drawing a card, “My move!” Sailor Celestial says, “And with the set Pendulum Scale, I Pendulum Summon! Revive from the Extra Deck: Dag Daggerman! And Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon!” As the crystal pendulum swings, a circle of light appears on the field and when Sailor Celestial puts two cards from her Extra Deck on her duel disk, two lights come from the circle in which they become Performapal Dag Daggerman (2000/600) and Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon (2500/2000) in attack mode. Sailor Celestial says, discarding Performapal Whim Witch (800/800) Pendulum monster card, “I use Dag Daggerman’s ability and send one Performapal to the grave to draw a card!” Sailor Celestial draws one card and she says, pushing a button on her duel disk’s touch screen, “Next, I activate Pendulum Reborn!” Sailor Celestial’s face-down is revealed to be the Pendulum Reborn trap card and Sailor Celestial says, “Now, I can revive one Pendulum Monster from my Extra Deck or graveyard! And I choose my Performapal Laugh Maker!” Performapal Laugh Maker (2500/2000), a humanoid male monster that looks like a performer, appears on the field in attack mode. Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “Next, I play my Pendulum Risky Present! I get to draw one card for every Pendulum Monster out on the field, but if I don’t use them, I lose five hundred points for every card in my hand!”

 

Vivian asks, curiously, “Um, that’s risky, right?”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Yeah, if she doesn’t play those cards, she will lose this duel.”

 

Sailor Celestial draws three cards and Sailor Celestial says, putting one card into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Smile World spell card! Until the end of the turn, all monsters out on the field get one hundred attack points times the monsters out on the field at the time this card is activated! So, it means that all monsters gain five hundred attack points!” Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon goes from 2500/2000 to 3000/2000, Dag Daggerman goes from 2000/600 to 2500/600, Laugh Maker goes from 2500/2000 to 3000/2000, Brave-Eyes goes from 3000/2000 to 3500/2000, and Crystal Bell goes from 2800/2400 to 3300/2400 in which Sailor Celestial shouts out, “Brave-Eyes, destroy Crystal Bell now!”

 

As Brave-Eyes unleashes its blue flames at Crystal Bell, Chris says, “I use the ability of my Spirit Reactor and negate Crystal Bell’s destruction.” An aura protects Crystal Bell, but the blue flames splash against Chris causing her to flinch as she loses 200 life-points.

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Since your monster wasn’t destroyed by Brave-Eyes, it is removed from play.”

 

Chris says, pushing a button on her duel disk, “I think not since I play the trap card: For Who the Bell Tolls.” Chris’ other face-down card is revealed to be a trap card with a picture of bell creating soundwaves that protect a monster and Chris says, “A Windwitch monster can’t be removed from the field other than battle this turn.” A shield protects Crystal Bell from blue flames trying to engulf her.

 

Sailor Moon asks, “What? Why didn’t she use that card last turn?”

 

Kazuto says, “Since there was only Brave-Eyes, she knew that Sugu couldn’t attack her more after that.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Laugh Maker, time for the punchline!”

 

Laugh Maker moves in to attack and Chris asks, “You would attack even through my monster is stronger than yours?”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a smirk, “Laugh Maker gains one thousand attack points for every monster that has higher attack points than their original attack points other than the other monsters that I control. Since Laugh Maker and your Crystal Ball have more attack points their original stats, Laugh Maker gains two thousand attack points!” Laugh Maker goes from 3000/2000 to 5000/2000 in which the attack slams into Crystal Bell causing to yelp loudly as she is destroyed while Chris yelps as she loses 1700 life-points from the attack.

 

Salia says, shocked, “Chris!”

 

Chris says, plainly, “Since Crystal Bell has been destroyed, I revive Winter Bell and Glass Bell.” Soon after, Windwitch-Winter Bell (2400/2000) and Windwitch-Glass Bell (1500/1500) appear on the field in defense mode and Chris says, as she puts a card from her deck into her hand, “Now, I play my Glass Bell’s ability and add one Windwitch from my deck to my hand.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, pushing a button on her disk’s touch screen, “I activate my Trap Booster card!” Sailor Celestial’s other face-down card is revealed to be the Trap Booster Quick-Play spell card and Sailor Celestial says, discarding one card from her hand, “By discarding one card from my hand, I can play one trap card from my hand!” Sailor Celestial says, putting the last card in her hand into the main slot of her disk, “I activate my Meteor Rain trap card! Now, my monsters can inflict piercing damage to your monsters! Odd-Eyes, attack Winter Bell now! Spiral Strike Burst!” Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon unleashes its attack on and it slams into Winer Bell causing Sailor Celestial to say, “And now, due to Odd-Eyes’ ability, you suffer double battle damage! Reaction Force!” Odd-Eyes’ attack becomes even stronger causing Winter Bell to become engulfed in a massive explosion in which Chris screams out as she is sent flying backward as she loses 2000 life-points as well as the duel.

 

Salia says, shocked, “Chris!”

 

Final Score:

Sailor Celestial: 900

Chris: 0

 

With the end of the duel, the final Solid Vision projections vanish, Sailor Celestial says, with a smirk, “Nice try, but you are going to need a few centuries to beat me.”

 

Chris struggles to her feet and Salia asks her, “Are you okay?”

 

Chris says, with a plain tone, “Yes.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Game over.”

 

Salia says, with a smirk, “Think so? I don’t!” Salia then takes out a device from her hand, but it is knocked out of her hand by a knife thrown by Ange with Tuxedo Mask destroying it with one of his roses!

 

Ange responds, with a sly smile, “I thought that you were up to something.”

 

Sailor Moon asks, curiously, “Where did you get that?”

 

Ange asks, “What does it really matter?”

 

Salia says, with an annoyed expression, “You think that I would haven’t have a backup plan?! Now!” However, when nothing happens, Salia asks, confused, “Hey! What’s going on?!” Just then there are three female yelps and Salia and Chris look to see Ersha, Tanya, and Irma, all of whom are wearing some kind of high-tech futuristic ‘stealth suits’, on the ground in which the rest of our heroes and heroines appear out of the shadows with our Sailor Scout members in their Sailor Scout forms.

 

Salia asks, stunned, “What the?!”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, with a smirk, “Now, you didn’t think that we wouldn’t come without insurance, right?”

 

Salia asks, shocked and with a serious expression, “But how?! I had high-tech detection devices all around to know if your friends, human or otherwise, were coming from miles away! I had every access point underground also tagged! How could they have found a way to us undetected?!”

 

Digmon comes forward and Davis says, “It was a real pain in the ass! But when you have got a real ‘drill team’, you tend to find a way around that problem!”

 

Cody tells Digmon, “Good work, Digmon.”

 

Digmon responds, “No problem!”

 

Ange says, with a smile, “I’ve got to say that’s impressive.” Ange then glares at Salia and she says, strongly, “Now, it’s finally time you talked! If not, I would be more than happy to beat the answers out of you!”

 

As Ersha, Tanya, and Irma goes over to Salia and Chris, Salia says, “Guess that I underestimated your new friends, Ange! That’s a mistake I won’t make again!”

 

Ange responds, “What makes you think that we’ll give you a second chance?”

 

Salia asks, with a sly smirk, “Really, Ange? You really don’t think that we came without a backup plan?” Just then a large robotic arm and hand come out of from the ground and grab Sailor Celestial by the waist!

 

Kazuto says, shocked, “Sugu!” When the machine fully reveals itself, it is a black and blue version of Villkiss!

 

Sailor Jupiter asks, stunned, “What the?!”

 

Tusk says, shocked, “That machine!”

 

Salia says, leaping into the cockpit of the Mecha, “Meet Cleopatra!”

 

Sailor Celestial shouts out, annoyed, “Let me go!”

 

Salia responds, using the Mecha’s speaker systems, “You got it bitch!” The Mecha, Cleopatra, then throws Sailor Celestial into one of the stores in which she slams into the far wall of the store with a massive ‘thud’ sending a lot of dust and debris out!

 

Sailor Moon says, shocked, “Celestial!”

 

Sailor Star says, concerned, “Oh no!” Chris, Ersha, Tanya, and Irma snap their fingers and four more similar Mechas to Cleopatra, literally, burst out of the shadows!

 

Vivian says, shocked, “They look like Villkiss too!”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Then they must be Ragna-Mails like them too!”

 

Chris, Ersha, Tanya, and Irma leap into the cockpits of the Mecha and Tanya says, “Your boyfriend is pretty smart, princess!”

 

Salia says, “This is the proof of the love and devotion of Master Embryo!”

 

Sailor Venus asks, confused, “What?!”

 

Sailor Orion says, plainly, “Doubtful.”

 

Chris asks, “What was that?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, in a sarcastic tone, “What she means, genius, is that your leader is just sweet talking you to make sure you are wrapped around his little fingers.”

 

Tanya yells out, angrily, “Lies!”

 

Chris says, irritated, “You don’t know anything!”

 

Salia yells out, strongly and angrily, “Master Embryo truly cares and appreciates and loves all of us! You don’t know what you are talking about!”

 

Sailor Venus asks, “Seriously? You are talking about love to the embodiment of love here?” Sailor Venus says, with a smirk, “Something tells me that you wouldn’t know real love if it bit you on the bumper!”

 

Growls can be heard from within the five Mechas and Sailor Jupiter says, with a sigh, “Way to go, Venus-chan!”

 

Salia shouts out, angrily, “We’ve had enough of your mouth!”

 

Sailor Celestial’s voice booms, “And I’ve had enough of you!” Cleopatra is then hit with a powerful energy burst that sends her into the opposing wall and hard in which everyone looks to see a pretty much unhurt Sailor Celestial coming out of where she was thrown. Sailor Celestial says, “Time to end this!”

Salia says, “This hasn’t even begun!” Soon after, all five Mechas vanish through some kind of teleportation.

 

Yolei asks, “Huh?”

 

Biyomon asks, “What just happened?”

 

Sailor Sun says, “It looks like they teleported away.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “That isn’t too surprising since they seem to be similar machines to Villkiss and Valkyrie.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “True. They were able to cross the barriers between worlds from one Earth to another.”

 

[Suguha] says, “I can’t believe it…Salia…Chris…”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “Do you know them?”

 

Vivian says, with a nod, “Yeah, they are our friends from Azrael.”

 

Davis says, “I think that you mean ‘were’, Vivian.”

 

Yolei says, with a nod, “They don’t seem like your friends anymore.”

 

[Suguha] says, “Well, we didn’t exactly get along too well, but at least we agree that we need each other to survive…maybe…” [Suguha] asks, “But what I don’t get is why they would freaky work for someone like Embryo?”

 

Sailor Orion says, “I think the reason is because he is quite the ‘charmer’ as you can say.” Everyone looks at Sailor Orion and she says, “From what I can infer from what happened yesterday, he has what’s called a ‘charmer personality’ and he has managed to ‘charm’ them to his side.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “I think that you have a point.”

 

Sailor Mars says, annoyed, “Great. One of those guys. I really hate those kinds of people.”

 

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

 

Tai says, “And we can also agree that this isn’t over.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Agreed. Now, we know that Embryo isn’t alone, and he has his own team.”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Add to the fact that they have five of those Ragna-Mail Mechas.”

 

Sailor Mercury says, “And based on what we know about them, they are very powerful and very dangerous.”

 

Izzy says, with a nod, “No kidding, Ami. Based on the information, they could completely destroy the whole of Tokyo. And when I mean destroy, I mean completely flatten Tokyo into nothingness.”

 

There are quite a few gasps from the others and Tai says, annoyed, “Just great.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “That means that they are a significant threat.”

 

Davis says, with a nod, “No joke.”

 

April 22, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Back in UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, Salia and her fellow Diamond Rose Knight are assembled together with Salia having a ‘not so happy face’ on her expression.

 

Salia says, angrily, “Damn it all!”

 

Chris says, “Our opponents aren’t to be underestimated.”

 

Ersha asks Chris, “Are you okay?”

 

Chris responds, with a nod, “I’m fine, Ersha.”

 

Irma says, “It is amazing and a bit scary that you can bring monsters to life in a way. This world has some weird technology.”

 

Salia says, “Yes. However, it was meant for entertainment other than anything else just like the VR technology. However, the VR technology and the VRMMO programming has helped us well in training to deal with them, but Master Embryo was right.”

 

Tanya asks, “About what?”

 

Salia responds, “About everything, Tanya, especially that Sailor Moon girl. She and Ange are a lot alike. I got a good look in her eyes and she and Ange share similar looks. Master Embryo was right to say that you need to see her for yourself to figure her out.”

 

Chris says, “And that other version of Suguha. She is no joke either. We just got a taste of her power.”

 

Ersha says, “If our Suguha remembered how to access that kind of power…”

 

Salia says, interrupting, “That’s why we have to captured her before she does. If Master Embryo has that power, we can have the best world possibly for us and for everyone. No one else will have to go through what we did…how we were forced fight to survive…and live as slaves to a flawed world…Once the new world gets under way, the so-called ‘World of Mana’ will be finished and new and better world for all of us will emerge.”

 

The others nod their heads in agreement and Ersha says, “Yes. A new and better world where the children can grow up normally and peacefully.”

 

Chris says, “Master Embryo saved me when the others abandoned me. I will do what it takes to create his new world.” As the other Diamond Rose Knights nod their heads in agreement, some distance away, [Darien] is looking at them.

 

[Darien] says, with a wicked smirk, “Weak minded fools.” Elsewhere within UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, Embryo is meeting with the ‘upper staff’ of UNI-SHOCKER who are still shrouded in shadows.

 

One of the UNI-SHOCKER ‘staff’ asks, “Is the lodging to your liking?”

 

Embryo responds, with a smile, “Yes. They are very good indeed.”

 

Another UNI-SHOCKER ‘staff member’ says, “The preparations are being made.”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Thank you. I hate to be a waste of time and resources.”

 

The first UNI-SHOCKER ‘staff member’ to talk responds, “Not a waste of time at all. In fact, we should thank you for the chance.”

 

Embryo says, “Well, we have mutual interests.” The UNI-SHOCKER ‘staff’ nod their heads and Embryo thinks in his mind, “For the moment, but don’t think that I’m letting my ego get the better of me. I know better than to keep my guard down. It is a good thing that I have increased my defenses and ironically, it is thanks to you. Your technology and the technology of this world shall serve me. Soon, I shall create the truly best world possible and this world is necessary to bring it about.”
