Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Digimon Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Online the Movie: Alternating Scales ❯ Dark Reality’s Song ( Chapter 12 )

Well, it looks like things went from bad to worse in which our Moon Princess and Ange has been captured by Embryo and his ‘troop’ through it looks like it has been countered by our Celestial Princess making her escape. It also looks like the idol of Ordinal Scale has a thing against her ‘daddy’ doing what he is doing. As I said before, since I know the full details of the Sword Art Online movie, I would bring it in and I have to say that it is improving my fanfiction greatly. See if you agree with me. Now, 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.

Sailor Moon Online the Movie: Alternating Scales

 

Scene 12: Dark Reality’s Song

 

April 27, 2026, Moon Kingdom

 

Returning to the Moon Kingdom, Sailor Orion is with the majority of the Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts, minus Moon and Pluto, the Digidestined and their Digimon, minus Davis, Kari, and their two Digimon partners, and the others of their group including Kazuto, Rika, Keiko, Kotone, and Vivian as Sailor Orion is giving her report.

 

Keiko says, worriedly, “Oh no!”

 

Sailor Orion says, “I’m sorry, everyone. I failed.”

 

Kazuto tells Sailor Orion, “It’s all right, Shion.”

 

Amara yells out, angrily, “Damn it! We should have gone with her!”

 

Kotone asks, nervously, “So, what we can do now?”

 

Just then a familiar female voice says, “We counterattack Firefly.” Everyone else gasps to see Valkyrie Sailor Pluto, Tuxedo Mask, and Tusk enter the room.

 

Vivian says, excitedly, “Tusk!”

 

Hotaru says, excitedly, “Trista-mama!”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a kind smile, “Sorry to worry you, Firefly.”

 

Lita asks, shocked, “But how? From what Ami got from the computers and the data that Orion managed to gather, you were sent into another universe or something.”

 

Ami says, “That’s easy, Lita-chan. She is the Sailor Scout of Time, remember? And without ‘space’, you can’t have ‘time’.”

 

Izzy says, with a nod, “That’s right. Space-time, the bases of dimensional travel, shows that space and time are connected together in which you can’t have one without the other. Personally, I believe that she is more like the Sailor Scout of SPACE-TIME and she is called the ‘guardian of time’ for simplicity sake.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a smile, “It is more complicated than that Izzy, but you are correct about space-time and as the guardian of time, I am in actually a guardian of space-time. There are actually other Sailor Scouts that are just like me, but that’s a story for another day.”

 

Michelle says, “You were able to use your powers, enhanced by your new Valkyrie powers, to return back.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a smile, “It is easy since you know the dimensional variance of your home universe all too well.” Sailor Pluto says, with a plain tone, “However, I believe that Embryo knew that as well and wanted us temporary out of the way.”

 

Tuxedo Mask looks around and he says, solemnly, “Oh no…”

 

Sailor Orion says, solemnly, “I’m sorry, Darien. She was captured.”

 

Tuxedo Mask slams his fist into the wall and he yells out, angrily, “Damn it!” Tusk’s right hand turns into a fist knowing that Ange was captured as well.

 

Just then a female voice says, “That’s the problem with princesses! They always seem to get themselves captured!” Everyone looks to see a couple of people walking into the room with one of them being the short orange haired young woman that Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Pluto, and Tusk met when they arrived on Tusk’s and Ange’s Earth.

 

The next person is a young lady of 17 years with long red hair tied with twin tails and violet eyes wearing a red and white military style uniform.

 

The second person after the red-haired person is teenage female of around 16-17 years of age with short violet hair, orange eyes, and wearing a maid’s outfit.

 

The third person is a young teenage girl of 14 years of age with violet hair tied in two short pigtails, yellow eyes, and wearing a mechanics style outfit.

 

The final person is a young woman with flowing dark red hair that goes just past her shoulder, red eyes, ruby red colored lips, and wearing a red top, black skirt, black thigh-high stockings, blue-white high-heeled shoes, and over her top and skirt is a long white and blue lab style coat.

 

Vivian says, excitedly, “Hey! Rosalie! Hilda! Momoka! Zaho Mei! Maggie!”

 

The youngest of the group of young ladies looks at Vivian and she says, “Hi, Vivian! Good to see you!”

 

The young woman of the group zips over to Vivian, looks at her, and she says, amazed, “It is just what they said!”

 

The young woman grabs Vivian’s arms and ‘examines’ her body causing a few of the others to flush in which Vivian says, giggling, “Come on, Maggie! Stop that! That tickles!”

 

The young woman asks Vivian, “So, you can stay in your human form without the need for medication?”

 

Vivian says, pointing to Ami, “Yep! Ami fixed me up and I can control the transformation at will now!”

 

The young woman, Maggie, says, looking at Ami, “She must be quite the young prodigy to figure that out. I would like to compare notes.”

 

Amara says, “Since Vivian knows them, I take it that they are from Tusk’s and Ange’s world.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “Embryo, by sheer accident, sent us right back to his ‘kingdom’ where we met up with Ange’s comrades from Arzenal.”

 

Flashback; World of Mana

 

Within Tusk’s and Ange’s Earth, the ‘World of Mana’ as it is known, Sailor Pluto, Tuxedo Mask, and Tusk are on what board what looks like the bridge of a ship in which they are talking with a young woman of 29 years of age with long black hair tied in a ponytail, violet eyes, ruby red colored lips, and wearing a military style outfit with a robotic right arm.

 

The woman says, “I see. So that’s what happened and that’s why we haven’t been attacked lately.”

 

Tusk says, “That’s right, Jill. Ange, Suguha, and I have been transported to the Earth where they come from and it is an alternate version of where Suguha came from. We even met another version of Suguha there.”

 

The orange haired young lady says, “I can’t believe Suguha is also a princess! I knew that there was something about her that I didn’t like.”

 

The red hair young lady says, with a smirk and sarcastic tone, “So, our little firecracker was actually alien royalty? A kickass warrior princess, huh? Color me surprised.”

 

The orange haired young lady says, annoyed, “Yeah, right, Hilda.”

 

Tuxedo Mask tells the black hair young woman, Jill, “But then again, that’s a fact that you already knew about your Suguha, correct?”

 

Jill narrows his eyes at Tuxedo Mask and she asks, “What are you saying?’

 

Tuxedo Mask replies, “I believe that you know perfectly what I am saying. Valkyrie has an AI that’s seems to be very particular and one of our scientist members of the group was only able to access its memory was because Valkyrie’s AI allowed her to access it. Something tell me that when you knew that Valkyrie’s AI allowed your Suguha to use it, you knew that your Suguha’s origins were not of your Earth.”

 

Jill tells Tuxedo Mask, narrowing her eyes, “I don’t like what you are implying.”

 

Tusk says, nervously while trying to change the subject, “Anyway, Ange and Suguha are going to need our help. They have been most likely both captured by Embryo!”

 

The orange haired young lady says, “Leave it to her to cause more trouble.”

 

The red haired young lady says, with a smirk, “That would be Ange for you, Rosalie. Always rushing into trouble and causing us trouble. That’s our princess for you.”

 

Tuxedo Mask tells Jill, “Embryo has allied him with UNI-SHOCKER and while it might be in their own self-interests, it could be a problem for you.”

 

Jill asks, with a glare, “Oh, really?”

 

Tuxedo Mask responds, “We’ve told you, truthfully, what we know about UNI-SHOCKER from the person that was fighting for a good amount of time now on his Earth. UNI-SHOCKER may come after you for the Para-Mails despite their alliance with Embryo might give them the more powerful Ragna-Mail technology, but if their alliance goes sour, they know that the Para-Mails were designed from the Ragna-Mails…”

 

Jill says, finishing, “They will go after the Para-Mails as a ‘roundabout’ to design their own Ragna-Mails.”

 

Sailor Pluto asks, “And with their advanced knowledge and technology, they may design Ragna-Mails that are far superior to even Embryo’s weapons and weapons that are superior to even Ragna-Mails. Plus, there are all of you. Do you really think that they wouldn’t be curious on how you counter Mana if they want to backstab Embryo? What better way to learn how to is by the people that can do with genetically?”

 

The orange haired young lady says, disgusted, “Oh, gross!”

 

The red haired young lady says, with a sneer, “No kidding! There is no way that I’m going to end up as some kind of ‘lab rat’.”

 

Jill stares at Sailor Pluto and Tuxedo Mask, who stare back, and after about a minute, Jill says, with a plain tone, “Fine. But only because Embryo is a threat to us and Libertus in which his new ‘allies’ are a threat because they may want to use us to stab him in the back. However, the main job is to retrieve Ange, our Suguha, and Villkiss as well as Valkyrie. Your battle isn’t our battle.”

 

The orange haired young lady thinks in her mind, “Why does she care about the princesses so much? Just because they can use those two machines that can rip the world apart?” However, the red haired young lady, Tuxedo Mask, and Sailor Pluto can’t help to have their suspicions about Jill.

 

End Flashback; Return to the Present

 

Back in the present time, our group is talking with the new allies from Tusk’s and Ange’s Earth including Rosalie, the orange haired young lady, Hilda, the red haired young lady, Momoka, the young maid who is a personal maid to Ange when she was a princess and still considers herself her maid, Zhao Mei, the youngest of the group and mechanic for Arzenal, and Maggie, the medic for Arzenal.

 

Amara says, with narrowing eyes, “It seems like their commander cares more about the machines that the pilots.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “And a personal need for revenge. It is only because Embryo ‘allied’ with UNI-SHOCKER that she decided to help us and the fact that UNI-SHOCKER might target the survivors of Arzenal.”

 

Rosalie says, with a sneer, “And I’m not going to end up like a lab rat.”

 

Hilda says, with a smirk, “Plus, we need to ‘talk’ with Chris, Salia, Ersha, Tanya, and Irma and their ‘choice of men’. Also, what better way to rile up the princess by saving her butt? That will get her panties in a twist.”

 

Tusk asks Hilda, “Seriously?”

 

Hilda says, with a sly smirk, “Come on, it is good fun. Besides, Ange and I have a promise that she needs to fulfill. She can’t die on me until she helps fulfill that promise.”

 

Mina asks, curiously, “Promise?”

 

Hilda says, with a grin, “Nothing really. We just promised to destroy our world.”

 

There are plenty of shocked looks from our heroes and heroines and Yolei asks, a bit nervously, “Destroy your world?”

 

Hilda says, with a nod, “Yep. We’ve been betrayed and pushed around by that fucking society of our world and now, we are going to destroy it all.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “They are saying that they want to destroy the society of their Earth.”

 

Matt says, nervously, “Yeah, that’s no less disturbing.”

 

Tai says, “But understandable after what we heard from Ange, Tusk, and Suguha’s counterpart.”

 

Lita says, “No one should have had to live the way that you did.”

 

Rika says, “But excuse us if ‘destroying the world’ sounds kind of…I don’t know…EXTREME to us!”

 

Rosalie says, annoyed, “As if someone like you, who had it soft, would know what we went through.”

 

Plenty of the others, especially all those that are SAO survivors, get angered by those words and a familiar female voice shouts out, “Don’t talk as if you know my big brother and my friends like you know them!” Everyone looks to see [Sammy] and Suguha walk out into the open in which she says, with a deadly glare, “They know about suffering more than you can imagine.”

 

There are surprised looks and Kazuto says, “Sugu!” Kazuto runs over to Suguha and the Kirigaya siblings embrace.

 

Suguha tells Kazuto, with a smile, “Come on, big brother. You have had to have more faith in me that than!”

 

Kazuto tells Suguha, with a smile, “I do have faith in you, but I’m a big brother. It’s my job, Sugu.”

 

Rosalie asks, annoyed, “Hey! Who does that guy think he is?”

 

Vivian tells Rosalie, “That’s not our Suguha, Rosalie! That’s this Earth’s Suguha!” The new arrivals in this universe give confused looks at Vivian.

 

Hilda says, “Oh, yeah! You did mention that there were two versions of her!”

 

Hilda goes over in which Suguha asks, seeing the new arrives in this universe, “Kazuto, who are these people?”

 

Tusk says, “They’re from our Earth, Suguha. They’re members of Arzenal.”

 

Suguha asks, “Oh, they are Ange’s comrades?’

 

Hilda says, looking at Suguha, “The name is Hilda.”

 

As Hilda looks over Suguha, Suguha asks, a bit nervously, “What are you doing?”

 

Hilda says, with a nod, “Yeah, you really do look like our girl.” Hilda then says, with a smirk, “Especially in the ‘assets’ area.” Suguha blushes like mad at that comment and she lashes out with a punch in which Hilda dodges and say, excitedly, “And the same attitude too! You are definitely, Suguha!”

 

Lita asks, “What’s her problem?”

 

Yolei says, with a sigh, “Something tells me that she likes poking dragons with a stick.”

 

TK says, with a nervous smile and nod, “No kidding.”

 

Amara says, looking at Mina, “Like someone that we know.”

 

Mina asks, with an annoyed look, “Hey, what are you looking at me for?!”

 

TK tells Mina, in a comforting tone, “Easy, Mina-chan. That’s what we like you so much.”

 

Mina giggles and she tells TK, with a loving tone, “Oh, Takeru-kun, you just know what to say to me.”

 

Mina kisses TK on the cheek, causing him to flush, and Tai says, with a smirk, “Get a room, you two.”

 

Rosalie asks, annoyed, “Really?”

 

Hilda says, “Anyway, I hear that our two princesses are in trouble.”

 

Suguha asks Kazuto, “What does she mean by that Kazuto?”

 

Kazuto tells Suguha, with a sigh, “Your counterpart, Sammy…”

 

Suguha says, “I already know about Sammy, big brother.” Suguha looks at Tuxedo Mask and she says, “Darien’s ‘evil twin’ gloated to me about that.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, annoyed, “Like a typical corny villain.”

 

[Sammy] tells Tuxedo Mask, “I wouldn’t underestimate him if I were you. You want to pay him back? Don’t underestimate him.”

 

Tuxedo Mask crosses his arms and Kazuto tells Suguha, “Serena and Ange were captured by Embryo.”

 

Suguha asks, shocked, “What?!”

 

Just then another female voice says, “It seems like Ange is her usual self.” Soon enough, Salamandinay, Naga, and Kaname walk up towards them.

 

Lita asks, “Hey, what are you doing here?”

 

Suguha says, “They are the ones that helped Sammy rescue me. They are his allies.”

 

[Sammy] says, with a sly smile, “You might have decided to reject their help, but I’m not one of you, so…”

 

Rosalie asks, “Who the heck are you?”

 

Vivian says, with a smile, “They are the leader of my people.”

 

The new arrives in this universe look at Vivian and Maggie asks, curiously, “Your people?”

 

Tusk says, with a sigh, “Her name is Salamandinay. She is the leader of the modified humans from the Earth that Embryo left after his discoveries caused a war that nearly destroyed that Earth. The people that we call ‘dragons’.”

 

Momoka, Rosalie, Hilda, and Maggie gasp in shock and Rosalie yells out, a bit angrily, “They’re dragons?!”

 

Maggie says, looking at Salamandinay and her two guards, “Remarkable.”

 

Rosalie prepares to charge at them, but [Sammy] says, getting in her way, “Cool it!”

 

Rosalie yells out, angrily, “Back off! I’m going to give those lizards a piece of my fist!”

 

Naga says, with a deadly glare, “I would suggest you choose your words wisely.”

 

Rosalie yells out, angrily, “Tough talk! I would like to see you try!”

 

Salamandinay tells Naga, “Easy, Naga.”

 

Naga tells Salamandinay, “But Lady Salamandinay…”

 

Salamandinay says, with a kind smile, “Well, we did cause them a lot of pain by killing their friends and comrades.”

 

Rosalie yells out, angrily, “Your damn right!”

 

[Sammy] retorts, “And they have a right to be angry at you for slaughtering their people when they were dragged into your world to be harvested like cattle just to keep that ‘false utopia’ going!” Hilda, Rosalie, and others from the ‘World of Mana’ flinch from that and [Sammy] says, “I take it from your response that you were told.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Yes, we told them what Salamandinay-dono told us.”

 

Rosalie shouts out, a bit nervously while trying to sound enraged, “Do you think that we have a choice?”

 

[Sammy] says, “No, you didn’t. We aren’t arguing that fact.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “However, Salamandinay-dono and her people have a point. They were dragged into your world just to be slaughtered like animals to get the ‘fuel’ needed to keep the society that you hate so much going in which the ‘battery’ for this society is the first one of their kind who was kidnapped and being forcibly injected with said ‘fuel’ in which most likely, this being knows where it came from and she is suffering so much. So, it makes sense that Salamandinay has many, if not, more grievance with you than you have with them.”

 

Hilda, Rosalie, and Maggie flinch from that and Sailor Pluto says, looking at Salamandinay, “However, Salamandinay-dono is able to recognize that you are basically slaves to the leaders of the ‘false utopia society’ of your world and she is willing to forgive for that.”

 

Salamandinay says, with a nod, “Indeed.” Naga looks at Salamandinay in surprise and when Salamandinay gives a warm smile, Naga nods her head in some kind of unsaid agreement.

 

[Sammy] says, “Like it or not, all of us have common enemies and we need to work together if we want to beat the crud out of them.”

 

Lita says, “Yeah, but Serena…”

 

[Sammy] says, interrupting, “May have made the wrong choice.” When everyone looks at [Sammy], he asks, “This version of Meatball Head might have had a point with what’s happening between both the ‘Norma’ and Salamandinay-dono’s people, but I think that she might still be a bit biased due to the trauma that she suffered from SAO. She saw a lot of people die in that sicko ‘death game’ and she is getting constantly reminded of that. So, you think that she might be a bit ‘biased’ due the fact that she saw so much death in there and the fact that there were complete sickos that actually enjoyed that fact that if you died in that ‘game’, you would die in real life, huh?”

 

Plenty of the others look at each other and after about a half-a-minute, Cody says, “You have to admit that he has a point.”

 

Rosalie says, “You have got to be kidding me. A game that kills people? I still don’t believe it.”

 

Tusk tells Rosalie, “It may be hard to believe, but it is real and it happened to them.”

 

Kazuto says, “Through I can’t blame you for not believing it.” Kazuto says, with a sigh, “None of us could believe at first either.”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, “Especially not Serena.”

 

Salamandinay says, “And that’s what Embryo will use against her.” When the others look at Salamandinay, she says, “I fear that her traumatic experience is perfect weapon for Embryo to use against your leader. That’s his greatest weapon. Not his so-called ‘immortality’ and powers. It is his cunning. He knew exactly how to manipulate Ange’s comrades onto his side. He used what they wanted and desired the most and used to seduce them to his side.”

 

Tusk says, “And that’s how he got Ange into that trap. He used our Suguha to lure her right in.”

 

Salamandinay says, “Two birds with one stone as they say.” Salamandinay says, “And that’s the tactics that he will use with her. If not ‘pleasure’…”

 

Amara says, with a deadly serious expression, “Then with pain.”

 

Salamandinay says, “Your leader is a strong person. Dare I say, her experience has made her a strong person. However, her experience has also left powerful scars on her heart. Scars that have yet to heal and may never will in which is perfect ‘fuel’ for Embryo to use.”

 

Rosalie says, with a scoff, “Seriously, how bad off could she be? Just because of a stupid game…”

 

That strikes a cord with plenty of our heroes and heroines and Suguha yells out, angrily, “That does it!” With a bright flash, Suguha has transformed into Valkyrie Sailor Celestial and before anyone could say or do anything, Sailor Celestial grabs Rosalie by the collar and she glares at her with a deadly serious glare causing Rosalie to show a look of extreme fear in her face. Sailor Celestial shouts out, angrily and strongly, “I’ve been very patient since you aren’t from around here and you have been through crap, but now, you have gone too freaking far! I won’t let someone like you belittle the pain and sacrifice that my brother, sister, and all of my friends that are SAO survivors! You don’t think that a ‘stupid game’ can kill anymore?! Well, let me fucking show you that it can damn well kill!” There are some surprised looks and Sailor Celestial tells everyone, “Big brother, cover Keiko’s eyes! And anyone else with weak stomachs, you should do the same!”

 

Keiko asks, confused, “Huh?”

 

Ken asks, “What are you planning to do?” Sailor Celestial doesn’t reply as her broach opens and a bright flash of rainbow light in which the ‘scene’ changes to what looks like the inside of a hospital room.

 

Mimi asks, “Where in the world?” Just then they hear screaming in which Rika looks at the source causing Rika’s eyes to widen and quickly cover Keiko’s eyes with plenty of the others looking at where the source of the screaming and they see a group of doctors surrounding a bed with Maggie covering Vivian’s eyes before she can see.

 

Vivian asks, “Hey! Maggie, what are you doing?”

 

Maggie says, “Nothing you should see!” Zhao Mei also covers her eyes along with a few more of the others before the ‘scene’ returns to normal.

 

When it is done, Rosalie asks, shocked, “What the heck was that?”

 

Sailor Celestial yells out, strongly, “That was what happens when a person is fried by a NervGear’s microwaves! Want to see another version? I’ve got a few more memories of seeing people getting fried by NervGear that I could share!”

 

Kazuto asks, shocked, “Wait! What?!”

 

Sailor Celestial tells Rosalie, strongly and angrily, “That’s what happened when you die in Sword Art Online! You die in there, you die in real life! The instant that your avatar is deleted in there, you get your brain-fried practically instantly! That’s what my big brother, Serena, and my friends that survived SAO had to face! And guess what genius?! It was a member of Serena’s family, Akihiko Kayaba, which created that hell that they had to go through and Serena also risked her own life to save other people’s lives! That was her fate if she had died in there! And she risked her life to prevent that from happening to others! She may not have seen this happen to anyone since she was trapped in the game…thank goodness that she didn’t…But she could see...in her mind…what was happening to them! And do you know how many people she imagined dying this way? Hundreds! She saw hundreds of people die in that sick ‘death game’ and one of those deaths is coming back to haunt her! I won’t let someone like you insult the pain, suffer, and struggle that Serena, my big brother, and the others went through! So, I suggest that you keep your mouth in check or I will keep in check for you! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?!!” Rosalie hastily nods her head and Sailor Celestial violently drops Rosalie to the ground, hard, with plenty of the others glaring at her with anger in their eyes.

 

Hilda whistles and she says, “Wow. You really are another version of Suguha.” Plenty of the others look at Hilda and Hilda says, “When princess and Suguha…Well, our Suguha first came to Arzenal, let’s just say that they went through a bit of a ‘hazing ritual’.”

 

Yolei asks, “Hazing ritual?”

 

Hilda says, with a sly smirk, “Let’s just say that our former commander, Zola, had a thing for newcomers like Ange.”

 

Plenty of the others flinch like and Rika says, nervously, “Don’t tell me…”

 

Hilda says, “When Commander Zola tried that with Ange, however, Suguha beat the crap out of her like it was no tomorrow. Got to say that it was a shock.”

 

Rosalie says, with a snarl, “And when Chris, Hilda, and I tried to get her back…”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “You got your butts kicked too.”

 

Vivian says, excitedly, “Yep!” Hilda and Rosalie glare at Vivian and she gives a nervous smile at this.

 

Hilda says, looking at Sailor Celestial, “So, this is what Suguha has got ‘in her belt’, huh? Not bad.”

 

Maggie says, looking at Sailor Celestial, “Very interesting indeed.”

 

Maggie zips over to look at Sailor Celestial’s wings causing her to say, annoyed, “Hey, what are you…?”

 

Sailor Celestial yelps as Maggie examines Sailor Celestial’s wings and she says, “Remarkable.”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, “Could you kindly not do that?”

 

Maggie says, with a smile, “Forgive me. It is quite remark.”

 

Sailor Celestial touches her broach and she transforms back in which Mina asks, “How come she transforms sometimes without saying her ‘transformation phrase’?”

 

Amara says, “Probably it has to do with the potency of her powers, being the Sailor Scout of Reality and all.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “Yes. Being the Sailor Scout of Reality, she is one of the most powerful Sailor Scouts of all. However, with these kind of transformations, it also shows a lack of control since these random transformations are tied with her emotions.”

 

Suguha gives a nervous look and she says, “Hey! I don’t do them all the time!”

 

Rosalie asks, “Okay, why does our Suguha…?”

 

Tusk says, interrupting, “Probably due to the memory loss or more like THIEF by Embryo. Embryo stole our Suguha’s memories and most likely, her own powers combined with the sub-conscious of that Suguha’s mind ‘sealed’ the rest of her memories and her powers so they wouldn’t fall into the wrong hands.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “Exactly.”

 

Hilda says, sarcastically, “Well, that’s convenient…Not!”

 

Salamandinay says, “However, necessary.” When everyone looks at Salamandinay, she says, “You already know about Embryo and his abilities. If he gets his hands on the power that either of the two Suguhas hold, the multiverse itself will be in great danger.”

 

Kazuto says, “And right now, Sugu’s counterpart is still in Embryo’s hands along with Ange and Serena. And we need to rescue them right now.”

Suguha says, “There is something else, big brother.” Suguha takes the computer tablet that she took from Professor Shigemura’s office at UNI-SHOCKER and she says, “I got this tablet from Professor Shigemura’s office. It contains information on Augma and Ordinal Scale, but we need to break the codes and firewalls protecting that information.”

 

There are gasps of shock and Kotone asks, “How did you get that?”

 

Suguha says, “I had help.” Soon after, Suguha explains about what happened during her escape including talking with Yuna, the AI idol of Ordinal Scale, with the assistance of said AI idol.

 

When she is done, Kotone asks, “Why would she help?”

 

Suguha says, “I think that’s because she is a lot like the real…original Yuuna-san.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “I suspect that you are right, Sugu. It seems like Professor Shigemura based Yuna-san on his daughter.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, nodding her head in agreement, “Agreed. He may have created her based on her daughter all too well.”

 

Rika asks, “So, what does that mean?”

 

Kazuto says, “We may have an ally in UNI-SHOCKER.”

 

[Sammy] says, “Maybe, but it seems like Yuna-san is still loyal to her creator just not liking what he is planning. She may want him stopped, but not hurt. She did help Suguha escape, but she only guided her to that information in that tablet and a way out.”

 

Mina asks, “You said that this UNI-SHOCKER has been around for a long time and around the multiverse, right? Don’t you think that they would know about AI developing ‘independence’?”

 

[Sammy] says, “True, Mina. Very true actually. They had dealt with ‘rogue AI’ in their past before that gained hearts and souls of their own and went against them. You have a point, but call this a ‘feeling’ of mine. You said that Yuna-san’s programming is most likely similar to the personality of Professor Shigemura-san’s daughter.”

 

Kazuto says, “From what Sugu told us, it is most likely.”

 

[Sammy] asks, “What is his daughter like?”

 

Ami says, “From the information, she really cares about people and very loyal to her father.”

 

[Sammy] says, “And there you go. Based on that, Yuna-san might do things on her own, but she is doing them based on the personality of Professor Shigemura-san’s daughter. She also might be suffering from ‘internal conflict’.”

 

Kazuto says, “Because she is strong-willed and caring, yet, she is completely loyal to her father.”

 

[Sammy] says, “Exactly.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “However, because she was ‘programmed’ with the love of Yuuna-san for her father, Yuna-san may feel that the only way to save her father is to stop him from committing wrong. That’s what she seems to be doing by assisting Suguha and giving her the information that she needed.”

 

[Sammy] says, “While that’s true, it doesn’t mean that we can count on her help. That kind of stuff might cause more internal conflict in her ‘programming’.”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a sigh, “You have a point.”

 

Suguha says, annoyed, “Can you stop talking about her as if she is some kind of enemy or something? She helped me! Okay, she is an AI based on Professor Shigemura’s daughter and she is the way that she is based of that ‘programmed’, but that same programming could have allowed her to know what right and wrong is just like the original Yuuna-san! I’m choosing to trust her!”

 

After several moments, Kazuto says, “I feel the same way.”

 

Keiko says, “If Kazuto and you feel that way, I feel the same too.”

 

Rika tells Keiko, with a grin, “Not surprising.”

 

Hilda tells Suguha, “You are definitely the same girl. Our Suguha is just as stubborn.”

 

Suguha says, “Flattery isn’t going to get you…!!” Just then Hilda then surprises and shocks everyone by kissing Suguha on the lips and Suguha leaps away causing her to yell out, “What the heck was that for?!”

 

Hilda says, with a grin, “Just saying that we are going to get along just fine.”

 

Yolei asks, confused and nervous tone in her voice, “What is up with you?”

 

Vivian says, with a grin, “That’s Hilda.”

 

Amara asks, “What did you expect when you have been trapped on island full of women for much to all of your life?”

TK says, “That’s actually a good point.”

 

Tai asks, “Can we get back to the situation?”

 

Kazuto says, “Good idea.” Kazuto goes over to Ami and he says, handing her the tablet, “I’ll leave it in yours and Izzy’s hands.”

 

Ami says, with a nod, “Right.”

 

Izzy says, “I’ll get started.”

 

Ami says, handing Izzy the tablet, “Good idea.”

 

Yolei and Ken come over and Ken says, “Yolei and I could help out.”

 

Izzy says, with a smile, “Thanks.”

 

Suguha asks, “By the way, where is Asuna?” Plenty of the others look at each other, nervously, and Suguha says, solemnly, “I see. I heard about Asuna from Darien’s ‘evil twin’, but I had hoped that it could have been a lie.”

 

Kazuto says, solemnly, “It isn’t Sugu. Asuna had her memories of SAO taken.”

 

Suguha says, “Then we need to hurry, big brother. Yuna-san told me that she is afraid that her dad is about to commit a ‘second Sword Art Online’.”

 

There are gasps of shock and Rika asks, shocked, “Are you joking?”

 

Suguha says, “I wish that I was, but Yuna-san was really serious when she said that.”

 

Tai tells Izzy, with a serious tone, “We need that data on the Augma and we need it fast.”

 

Izzy says, with a nod, “We’re on it, Tai.” Immediately, Izzy uses his computer with the Moon Palace’s computers to start work to breaking into the tablet.

 

Kazuto tells Suguha, “Sugu, we believe that Professor Shigemura is trying to revive his daughter.”

 

Suguha asks, surprised, “Revive? Is that why he taking memories? But how?”

 

Kazuto says, “We’re not exactly certain, but we know something else.”

 

Suguha asks, “What is it?”

 

Kazuto says, “Serena knows Professor Shigemura’s daughter because she watched her die in SAO.” Suguha gasps in shock and horror and Kazuto says, “She didn’t remember until recently because it was like what happened with ‘Death Gun’. The trauma of the memory was so great that she locked it away until seeing Yuuna-san’s face brought it all back to her.”

 

Suguha says, with a solemn tone, “Oh, man…” Suguha asks Kazuto, “Do you think that why…?”

 

Tai says, shaking his head, “We can’t be certain at all that’s why he kidnapped Sammy.”

 

Lita says, “But we do know that Eiji has a beef with Serena. He, majorly, blames her for what happened to Yuna-san. Eiji was the childhood friend of Yuuna-san.”

 

Suguha says, “I got that impression from him. He came to see him and told me that I was going to help him revive someone that he lost due to SAO. Sure, I’m the Soldier of Reality and I got Etherion, but I wasn’t sure that I had enough mastery to bring people back from the dead or had the right to. But then again, I worried about them inventing some kind of machinery to harness my Etherion to do what they said to do.” Suguha asks, “But how are they going to do that?”

 

Ken tells Suguha, “We only have a theory about how they are going to revive Yuuna-san, but there is a problem with their plan.”

 

Suguha asks, “What?”

 

Mina asks, “Not to bring up bad memories, but remember what we found out about SAO servers during that whole ‘Sword Art World’ mess?”

 

Suguha says, snapping her fingers, “Oh, right! We found out about the ‘black box’ in the SAO servers and how it contained the ‘spirits’ of all of the SAO players that died!”

 

Matt says, “That’s right, Suguha. Davis and Kari have gone to Rainbow Gardens to see if they can get Yuuna-san’s help in this.”

 

Suguha asks, curiously, “Hold up! Even if they get Yuuna-san’s help, how is she going to come to this world? She doesn’t have a body anymore. How can we help her leave Rainbow Gardens?”

 

Michelle says, with a smile, “With the technology of our world of today, I’m sure that we will think of something.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smile, “We’ve found a way for Yui to interact with us outside of ALO.”

 

Suguha says, with a smile, “You’re right, big brother.” Suguha says, “Anyway, let’s get to work. We need to help Serena, Ange, and my counterpart.”

 

Tusk asks, “But how?”

 

Tuxedo Mask says, with a plain tone, “I have a feeling on where Embryo has brought them.”

 

April 27, 2026, Earth, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Inside of UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, [Darien] is in quite a fowl mood and he throws someone aside.

 

[Darien] yells out, “This is a disaster! This is a complete disaster!” [Darien] snarls at the UNI-SHOCKER personal in front of them and they shiver in fear.

 

Just then a male voice says, “Calm down, my friend.” [Darien] looks at the source of the voice to see male figure in a brown business suit with his facial features unseen.

 

[Darien] says, angrily, “Calm down? She escaped! And we can’t be sure what kind of damage that she did while she was running through our building!”

 

The male figure responds, “True. And it is a significant setback. However, what’s done is done and lashing out against our subordinates won’t turn back the clock.”

 

[Darien] calms down and he grunts out, reluctantly, “Point taken.”

 

The male figure says, “First, we need to take stock and figure out what was taken.”

 

[Darien] says, with a scoff, “I knew that we should have kept our operation in the other timeline open.”

 

The male figure says, “You know that was impossible. The alternate versions of Celestial and the others in the other ‘prime timeline’ are more powerful due to incredible battles that they fought. Remember, that Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial got their Valkyrie forms far earlier than these versions and they have more powerful versions of said form.”

 

[Darien] says, “Yeah, but that Sailor Celestial is…”

 

The male figure says, “You mean ‘was’, Darien.”

 

[Darien] asks, shocked, “Wait! You don’t mean…?”

 

The male figure says, with a nod, “Our remaining agents in that timeline have informed us that her tomb AND the coffin is empty in which there are four ‘doppelgangers’ of her on the loose in the Tokyo of that timeline.”

 

[Darien] says, “You have got to be kidding me.”

 

The male figure says, shaking his head, “No, I am not. In fact, it is turning out to be like this American manga hero.” The male figure then displays a ‘The Return of Superman’ graphic novel comic.

 

[Darien] asks, “Wait! You mean…?”

 

The male figure says, with a nod, “There is a high possibility that the Sailor Celestial of the ‘alternate prime timeline’ has returned.”

 

[Darien] yells out, “That’s not possible! The Sailor Scouts have come back from the dead before, but it was immediately after a ‘big battle’ like with Beryl and Galaxia and it was due to ‘special circumstances’ with Meatball Head reviving her guardians and I through the full power of the Silver Crystal which someone also revived her as well or with Galaxia because it is due to her taking our star seeds. What you are talking about…”

 

The male figure says, interrupting and finishing for [Darien], “Happens in manga? I know that it is a bit far-fetched of her reviving after being dead for a while, but even if she wasn’t resurrected, you have to remember that after our first attempt by stealing her body, the others wouldn’t take any chances and you know as well as I do, they are more powerful in that timeline than in this one.”

 

[Darien] says, “And yet, causing us so much problems in this one.” [Darien] says, “Since we went into the ‘alternate timeline’, we should have learned to counter the Valkyrie powers better.”

 

The male figure says, with a sigh, “True. Too true.” The male figure says, “Even if that wasn’t the case, after our attempt, they made sure that her body was well-guarded and protected. Due to the power and abilities of the Sailor Scouts and Digidestined in that timeline being stronger than this one, we couldn’t take the risk of making a second attempt. But based on the evidence, the Sailor Celestial of the ‘alternate prime timeline’ has indeed returned, but not revealed herself yet due to her just ‘recovering’ from that battle from that ‘living doomsday weapon’ that she fought to a draw with to stop its brutal rampage achieving a ‘double KO’ in the process.”

 

[Darien] says, “However, we have no idea where she is.”

 

The male figure says, “Due to our limited resources there by focusing on this timeline and not the other one. But let’s forget that Sailor Celestial and focus on the TWO that we have here.”

 

[Darien] gives an evil smile and he says, with a grin, “Right.”

 

Just then a UNI-SHOCKER ‘worker’ asks, nervously, “Sirs?” When [Darien] and the male figure look at the UNI-SHOCKER personal member, he says, nervously, “We have found a report about the battle. It seems like that during the battle, she found her way into ‘sensitive material’.”

 

The male figure asks, “How ‘sensitive’?”

 

The UNI-SHOCKER personal member responds, nervously, “See for yourself.” He brings up a holographic screen and [Darien] gives a shocked look at what he sees on it.

 

[Darien] screams out, flabbergasted and enraged, “WHAT?!!” [Darien] is so loud that he is heard all over the building itself in which Professor Shigemura and Eiji looks towards his voice before they continue to look down at Sammy, who is strapped down to what looks like a Medicuboid, the Full-Dive VR device for medical purposes, in which the Medicuboid is connected to a group of familiar computer servers.

 

April 27, 2026, Rainbow Gardens

 

Inside of the living virtual world of Rainbow Gardens, Dai and Akari are meeting with none other than Yuuna Shigemura, the daughter of Professor Shigemura who had died in SAO and who’s mind was digitized along with the others that ‘died’ in SAO in ‘black box’ of the SAO servers, in which they were all ‘downloaded’ into Rainbow Gardens to start a new life in there through the more dangerous ones, like those in Laughing Coffin, were kept in areas out of the ‘public eye’. Right now, Yuuna, going by her SAO avatar name of Yuna, is talking with Dai and Akari and she is shocked at what she heard.

 

Yuuna says, shocked, “No…”

 

Akari tells Yuuna, “I’m afraid that it is true, Yuna-san. Your father wants you back so bad that he is willing to work with this evil organization and commit these horrible actions.”

 

Dai tells Yuuna, “We need your help to stop him. We need you to convince him to try to stop taking the memories of the people that went through SAO just like you.”

 

Yuuna asks, “But why would dad do such a thing?”

 

Akari tells Yuuna, “What father wouldn’t do anything for their child?”

 

Yuuna nods her head in agreement and understanding with Akari and she says, “Yes, I will help. I don’t want dad to become a murderer for my sake. I’ll do my best to convince him to stop this.”

 

Akari says, with a smile, “Thank you, Yuna-san.”

 

Yuuna says, with a smile, “It is no problem. I’m glad to help.” Yuuna then says, curiously, “But how are you going to get back to the real world? I don’t have a body anymore.”

 

Akari says, with a smile, “We’ll think of something.”

 

Dai thinks in his mind, nervously, “I hope so, Kari-chan.”

 

April 27, 2026, Unknown location

 

Right now, we seem to be inside of a room where Serena slowly opens her eyes and she looks to find herself in a luxurious bedroom and she then gasps to see that she is wearing a dress similar to the that Prince Diamond put on her when she was captured by the Negamoon when they went to Crystal Tokyo in the thirtieth century.

 

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, “Awake, huh?” Serena looks to see [Suguha], dressed in the same dress that Embryo put her in, and Ange, wearing her own white dress, who are the door of the luxurious bedroom.

 

Serena asks, “Ange? Suguha?”

 

Ange says, “Yeah.”

 

Serena asks, “Where are we?”

 

[Suguha] says, “Don’t know. After Embryo captured the two of you, he teleported us somewhere and afterwards, he knocked me out.”

 

Ange says, “Next thing that we knew, we’re here.”

 

[Suguha] says, “Wherever here is.”

 

Ange says, “I do.” Serena and [Suguha] look at Ange and she says, “We seem to be inside of the Misurugi Palace.”

 

Serena asks, “Misurugi Palace?”

 

[Suguha] says, “Ange’s home before she came to Arzenal.”

 

Serena says, nervously, “Oh.”

 

Ange says, “Don’t bother yourself about it. I’ve thrown that past away a long time ago.”

 

[Suguha] says, “If we’re back in your world…”

 

Ange tells [Suguha], “I don’t think that we’re back in my world.” Serena and [Suguha] give Ange confused looks and Ange says, “It looks like my room with Misurugi Palace, but something…something doesn’t feel right. Something feels off.”

 

Serena asks, curiously, “Off?”

 

Ange says, with a nod, “Yeah, it feels exactly like I left it. It feels real…a bit TOO real.”

 

[Suguha] asks, confused, “TOO real?”

 

Ange says, shaking her head, “It doesn’t make sense, but that’s what it feels like.”

 

Serena asks Ange, “Did you try to leave?”

 

Ange says, “I’ve tried a lot, but he has put some kind of force-field on the door.”

 

Serena asks, “Force-field?” Ange then kicks the door and she yelps as a violet ‘force-field’ protects the door and the words ‘Immortal Object’ appear in a sign for several second before vanishing causing Serena to gasp in shock.

 

Ange says, “I don’t get why it does that…”

 

Serena says, interrupting, “I do. I think…I know that you are right, Ange.” Ange and [Suguha] look at Serena and she then makes a swipe with her right hand causing a familiar menu with a familiar chime to appear in front of her.

 

[Suguha] says, shocked, “That’s…!!”

 

Ange says, “That looks familiar.”

 

Serena says, “That’s because it is a menu similar to ones used by players in Full-Dive VR games especially VRMMO games like ALO.”

 

Ange asks, shocked, “Wait! What?!”

 

Serena says, seriously, “You’re right, Ange. We’re not in your former home. We’re not even in your world. We’re in a Full-Dive VR based on your home world.”

 

[Suguha] and Ange are shocked and Ange says, “You’re kidding me? We’re in some kind of game! That’s messed up!”

 

Serena tells Ange, with a serious tone, “We might be in a VR world, but it isn’t a game.” Serena then goes over to the door, pokes it with her finger, and a menu appears that says ‘Unlock?’ with a ‘yes’ or ‘no’ buttock in which Serena presses the ‘yes’ buttock in which they hear a door unlocking in which Serena opens the door.

 

Ange asks, shocked, “How?”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “This is VR, Ange. Since it is based on VR games, I had a feeling that would be the case since is considered to be an ‘unbreakable object’. Embryo just locked this side of the door and he figured that you would be too inexperience about VR on knowing how to open it from this side.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “Hold on! Since this is like VR games like ALO, can’t we just ‘log out’?”

 

Serena says, shaking her head, “I don’t think so.” Serena uses her virtual menu’s features to make them visible to Ange and [Suguha] and she says, “He wouldn’t make it that easy. There is no ‘log out’ button and most likely, only he can log us out of this virtual world that he put us in.”

 

Ange says, “Then let’s find him and make him take us out of here!”

 

Serena asks Ange, nervously, “Do you think that it will be that easy?”

 

Ange tells Serena, “You and your friends said it yourself, Serena. Embryo isn’t a god, so, he has to have a weakness.”

 

Serena says, “If we know what the weakness is, Ange.”

 

Ange says, with a smirk, “We’ll figure it out.”

 

Serena says, “Even if we knew, it doesn’t help us now. This is most likely a VR world that he created using the help of UNI-SHOCKER and we’re trapped in it. Most likely, if it is like VR games, Embryo is the game master and we’re just ‘players’.”

 

Ange says, “Well, if you excuse me if I don’t want to ‘play’ his stupid ‘game’.”

 

Serena tells Ange, “We need to be really careful, Ange. Just because we are in a virtual world doesn’t mean that we can’t get hurt. I remember these words all too well: ‘It may be a game, but it isn’t something that you play’.”

 

That ‘sparks’ something in [Suguha’s] mind and Ange asks Serena, “Personal experience?”

 

Serena replies, plainly, “Very personal.” Soon after, Serena, Ange, and [Suguha] starts to vent out into this virtual world based on Ange’s home world wondering what kind of dangers that Embryo has planned for them.

 

April 27, 2026, Earth, Tokyo

 

Back within the city of Tokyo, Kazuto is walking through the city with Shion and the two of them have their Augmas attached to the left side of their heads.

 

Kazuto asks Shion, “Are you sure about this Shion?”

 

Shion says, “I’m not an SAO survivor, so, I shouldn’t be in any danger.”

 

Kazuto says, “Well, that’s true…”

 

Shion says, “You had a valid point in the discussion for our plans.”

 

Flashback; Some time ago

 

In the Moon Kingdom Palace, our heroes and heroines, joined by the newcomers from Ange’s and Tusk’s home world, are discussing the details of their ‘future operations’ including the ones to rescue Serena, Ange, Suguha’s counterpart, and Sammy in which Kazuto discusses something with the others.

 

When he is done, Raye asks, “Are you insane?”

 

Rika says, “Took the words right out of my mouth.”

 

Kotone tells Kazuto, “Kazuto, it’s too risky.”

 

Kazuto says, “I know, but we need to find where they are storing the memories of the SAO survivors that they have taken them from including Asuna’s memories. With the protections that I have made to Yui’s program, we’re hoping that she can infiltrate into UNI-SHOCKER where they are storing their memories with the hope that we can retrieve them by some means.”

 

Tai says, “Kazuto, I know that you want to get Asuna’s memories back, but it is too dangerous.”

 

Kazuto says, “It is a risk that I’m willing to take. I didn’t want to use Yui, but she…insisted.”

 

Rika tells Kazuto, with a smirk, “More like she talked you down until you caved.”

 

Kazuto gives an annoyed glare and Shion says, “Tai has a point, Kazuto.”

 

Kazuto says, “I know. We have a lot to do. We have four people to rescue and a lot of work to get done.”

 

Lita says, “No damn kidding, Kazuto.”

 

Amara says, “Anyway, I have to agree with the others. It is very dangerous.”

 

Suguha says, “No kidding, big brother. You aren’t used to AR like the rest of us.”

 

Kazuto says, “I know, Sugu. But I have to do something. I can’t just sit here.”

 

Suguha says, “We know, big brother. I’m worried about sis, my counterpart, Ange, and Sammy, too.”

 

Kazuto says, “I know, but I’m sure that Serena and Asuna would be doing the same thing if they were in my position.” Kazuto to all of the others, “And no arguments on that point.”

 

Rika says, with a sigh, “He has a point.”

 

Keiko says, with a nod, “Asuna would do the same thing.”

 

Keiko lowers her head, solemnly, and Kazuto tells Keiko, with a smile, “It isn’t your fault, Keiko. What happened to Asuna wasn’t your fault and I know that she would tell you the same.”

 

Keiko smiles weakly and Hilda says, “Okay, enough of the ‘pep talks’ and let’s get to work on rescuing the princesses on the double!” There are a few of the others that get annoyed at Hilda, but they decide to get to work on their plans for their ‘operations’.

 

End Flashback; Return to the Present

 

Back in the present, Kazuto and Shion are in their Ordinal Scale avatars, logging into Ordinal Scale, in which Shion, the name of her GGO and ALO avatars of Sinon, has a large futuristic rifle in her hands.

 

Yui appears beside them and she says, “The boss should be appearing soon.”

 

Kazuto tells Yui, “Yui, if you see anything that looks like a player is getting his mind scanned from Augma, try to trace the transfer of data back to its source.”

 

Yui says, with a nod, “Yes, daddy.”

 

Kazuto says, “Hopefully, the others will get ready for the assault on UNI-SHOCKER headquarters to get Sammy out.”

 

Shion asks Kazuto, “Do you really think that Kayaba would put something in Sammy that they would want?”

 

Kazuto says, “I wouldn’t put it by him, Shion. He trapped Serena, his own niece that loved him like a second father, in that nightmare for two years and didn’t even try to stop from even getting the game in the first place.”

 

Shion says, with a nod, “Point taken.” Shion asks Kazuto, “Do you have any idea on what Sammy could contain that they would want?”

 

Kazuto says, "I have a good idea since my theory stems from Kayaba 'uploading' whatever he put in Sammy via the SAO beta test."

 

Shion says, “Didn’t you say that the beta latest a few months? That was a good amount of time.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “I know, Shion. With the way that Kayaba’s genius worked, he could have put a lot in Sammy. And what he put in him is what I’m afraid of.” Soon after, Yuna makes her appearance and with her classic introduction, the boss monsters appear in which it looks like humanoid boar monster chained up to a nearby wall causing Kazuto to ask, shocked, “What?”

 

Shion asks, “What’s wrong?”

 

Kazuto says, “That’s not the boss for the thirteenth floor! That’s the boss for floor eighteen: The Dire Tusk!”

 

Shion asks, surprised, “Wait! Based on the patterns, wasn’t the boss for the thirteenth floor of Aincrad next.”

 

Yui says, “Daddy, I just got new information. Multiple SAO boss has appeared in several locations and their locations were shuffled.”

 

Kazuto says, “Just great.”

 

Shion asks, “A coincidence?”

 

Kazuto says, “I doubt that Shion.”

 

Shion says, nodding her head in agreement, “You have a point.” Shion asks Kazuto, “Ready?”

 

Kazuto says, “Yes.” Soon enough, the battle begins with Dire Tusk charging in, but he then stops with the chain attached to the wall in which the players attack him with long ranged attacks with their rifles and other firearms attacking him while two other players charge in.

 

One of them says, “We’ve got him now!”

 

Kazuto yells out, charging after them, “Watch out!” Dire Tusk manages to rip out the chain binding him to the wall and while Kazuto tackles one of the players getting him away from the attack, but another player is hit and the attack takes him out of the fight. However, when his HP goes down to zero, the player falls to their knees and blanks out in which a piece of his Augma is glowing in which a small orb of light that seemly no one else notices leaves the player’s Augma. But Yui notices this and follows the orb of light into one of the flying projectors used for the AR system for Ordinal Scale. Yui tries to follow the orb back to its source, but she is blocked by a powerful firewall and she has to escape to make sure that the system’s defenses don’t attack her.

 

Shion says, “I’ve got your back.” Shion fires her weapon that hits the Dire Tusk hard and Kazuto continues to battle it while Shion continues to support him from a distance, but the battle is hard and difficult since Kazuto isn’t used to fighting in AR like the others, minus Serena, are. Dire Tusk continues to attack Kazuto with the chain that restrained it to the wall and Kazuto had a difficult time despite Shion’s help.

 

At one point, Kazuto tripped and he fells down to the ground on his back, but then a familiar female voice shouts out, “Watch out!” Soon after, Suguha, in her ‘Ordinal Scale avatar’, leaps in and blocks the chain with her sword.

 

Kazuto says, shocked, “Sugu!”

 

Suguha tells Kazuto, helping him to his feet, “Geez, big brother! You really need some practice!”

 

Kazuto tells Suguha, “What are you doing here?”

 

Suguha responds, “What do you think Kazuto? Making sure that you don’t lose your memories too! Those memories might be painful, but they make up who you are! Plus, like Shion, I’m not an SAO survivor, so, I’ll be okay.”

 

Kazuto and Suguha dodge another attack from Dire Tusk and he says, “UNI-SHOCKER are after you for your power, Sugu.”

 

Suguha asks, plainly, “And when is that different than the other morons that we face?”

 

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “Doing that ‘come and get me’ stuff sometimes can bite you in the butt, Sugu.”

 

Suguha says, with a shrug, “Maybe.” Suguha says, with a smirk, “But it is fun to rub it in the noses of those jerks.” Kazuto shakes his head as he, Suguha, and Shion continue their fight against Dire Tusk and due to Suguha being a top player of Ordinal Scale, the three of them take out Dire Tusk.

 

Shion says, “That ends that.”

 

Suguha says, as she looks over at the first person to get ‘downed’ by Dire Tusk, “But not without cost.”

 

Kazuto says, “He must have had his memories taken.”

 

Yui floats down and she says, “That’s right, daddy. When his HP went to zero, I noticed a data stream in the form of an orb leave his Augma and into one of the projectors that they use for the system for Ordinal Scale. I tried to follow it, but I was stopped halfway by powerful firewalls and I had to escape.”

 

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “It is okay, Yui. You did your best.”

 

Shion asks, “So, what’s the plan?”

 

Kazuto says, “That’s a good question.”

 

Suguha says, “Hopefully, the others are having better luck with their plans than we are.”

 

April 27, 2026, Unknown location

 

Back with Serena, Ange, and [Suguha], the three of them continue to venture through the unknown virtual world that they have been put in that’s base on Ange’s home world.

 

Ange says, looking around, “Hard to believe that this isn’t real.”

 

Serena tells Ange, “That’s because it is real, Ange.” Ange looks at Serena and she says, “And it is more than just personal bias due to the fact that this was ‘my world’ along with around six thousand other people for around two years. This is known as VR which short for ‘virtual reality’. This place is just another form of reality in which one part of it is digital and not…Well, ‘physical’.”

 

Just then a familiar male voice says, “A simple way of putting it, but very accurate my dear.” The three young ladies whip around as they see Embryo in front of them.

 

Ange shouts out, “You!”

 

Serena tells Ange, “Ange, don’t! It is just a virtual avatar. He isn’t really here.”

 

Embryo tells Serena, “Oh, your majesty. I can assure you that I’m not than just an avatar.”

 

Serena asks, confused, “What?”

 

Embryo says, “It is a complicated process, but I can assure you that I have ‘digitized’ myself into this world.”

 

Serena gasps in shock and she yell out, flabbergasted, “What?! That can’t be!”

 

Embryo tells Serena, “Why do you seem so surprised? You and your friends found a way to ‘digitize’ yourselves before.”

 

Serena says, “True, but that was a one-time thing that won’t be replicated too soon. But then again, UNI-SHOCKER has been to quite a few worlds…”

 

Embryo says, “My dear, my power makes me able to come to this world without your world’s technology or UNI-SHOCKER’s assistance.”

 

Ange says, with a grin, “Good. So, when I kick your ass, I’m really kicking your ass!”

 

[Suguha] says, “Ange, you can’t! He is in control like he is in control back on your world!”

 

Embryo tells Ange, “I believe that you should listen to your friend, my lovely Ange. She does have a point.”

 

Ange says, “Well, I have to say that I have a problem listening to such advice.”

 

Embryo says, with a grin, “Indeed.” Ange just snarls at Embryo, but he isn’t even fazed by Ange’s glare in the least since he knows that he is in control for the moment.

 

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

 

Embryo asks Serena, with a sly smile, “What do you believe?”

 

Ange says, annoyed, “I’ve heard enough!”

 

Ange charges at Embryo and [Suguha] shouts out, “Ange, no!” Ange attacks Embryo with her hands and fist, but Embryo easily dodges the attacks and in fact, he easily trips Ange to the ground.

 

Embryo tells Ange, “It is wonderful to see such spirit in you, my lovely Ange. You are just as radiant as always.”

 

Ange asks, annoyed, “Don’t you ever shut up?!”

 

Embryo says, “I can see that your spirit is far from broken. Despite the amount of pain that I put you through earlier, you are refusing to fear me in the least. Beautiful.”

 

Serena asks Embryo, annoyed, “What is your game, Embryo?”

 

Embryo says, “Game? I’m playing some ‘game’, but if that’s what you wish.” Embryo then teleports away from Ange, who tried to strike him, again, and, again, without success, and he says, creating red and black version of the duel disk that Serena/Suguha uses around his left wrist, “But if you wish to play a game, I’m sure that this will be acceptable.”

 

Ange yells out, annoyed, “We don’t have time for your games!”

 

Embryo tells Ange in reply, “Now, you don’t really have a choice, dear Ange. You are in this virtual world and you have no power to log out of this virtual realm unless I say so.”

 

[Suguha] says, “Ange, he has a point. We’re trapped.”

 

Serena asks, “How are we supposed to duel?” Just then her duel disk appears around her left wrist and she asks, surprised, “What the?”

 

Embryo says, with a sly smile, “You were saying. You said it yourself that this is just another form of reality itself.”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “I get it.” Serena then closes her eyes and after several seconds, a dueling deck appears inside of her duel disk.

 

Ange and [Suguha] are amazed and Ange asks, stunned, “But how?”

 

Serena opens her eyes and she tells Ange, “Like I said, this is jut another reality. A reality created by humans, Ange. Including the rules of this world, Ange.” Serena gives Ange a smile as she turns to face Embryo and then Ange gives a slight smirk as well.

 

April 27, 2026, Moon Kingdom

 

Within the Moon Kingdom itself, Momoka is lying down on a hospital style bed with her arms and legs gently strapped down to the bed with Sailor Mars and Sailor Pluto hovering over her.

 

Sailor Pluto asks Momoka, “Momoka-san, if you want to back down now, just say so.”

 

Momoka says, shaking her head, “No, if it will help us save Lady Angelise, I’m more than willing to help.”

 

Sailor Mars says, “You are very brave, Momoka-san.”

 

Rosalie asks, coming up, “So, you are going to use your freaky powers to tap into her mind and find that guy?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “Since this ‘Light of Mana’ has a ‘network’ that allows the free access of information, it means everyone that uses this ‘power’ given by Embryo is linked together.”

 

Sailor Mars says, adding in, “While Aura is the ‘energy source’ of the network, it means that Embryo is the CPU or ‘brain’ of the network. Since he wants Ange and Suguha, he is going to keep them close with him.”

 

Hilda asks, “So, you are going to try to tap into him through her and figure out his location?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, “Attempt to. We have not a complete understanding of Embryo’s nature. All that we do know from Salamandinay-sama and her people is that he was once a human scientist that traveled to your world to build his ‘perfect world’ and during his travel through the gateway between the realms, he has gained supposed immortality and supernatural powers.”

 

Sailor Mars says, “There is also something else, Momoka-san. We are going to need to figure out this network to make sure that Embryo doesn’t know anything about our plans too deeply. Since you have this ‘Light of Mana’, it means that you are connected to him which means that he is most likely able to access your mind and memories to learn about us. He could also possibly take control of you and make you do things against your will.”

 

Momoka says, “I understand.”

 

Amara says, “Good luck and be careful in there.”

 

Michelle says, with a nod, “Yes. You are going to be in ‘his world’.”

 

Sailor Mars and Sailor Pluto nod their heads and Sailor Mars says, with a nod, “Right.”

 

Sailor Pluto asks Momoka, “Ready, Momoka?”

 

Momoka says, with a nod, “Yes.” Sailor Mars and Sailor Pluto close their eyes, put their fingers on Momoka’s forehead, and Momoka closes their eyes in which the two Sailor Scouts use their mental powers to enter Momoka’s mind.

 

 April 27, 2026, Unknown location

 

Joining back up with Serena, Ange, and [Suguha], Serena prepares to face Embryo in a duel when Embryo unexpectedly flinches.

 

The three young ladies are confused and Embryo says, “Ah, I see. It seems like your friends are meddling where they don’t belong, lovely Serena.”

 

Serena asks, “What do you mean?”

 

Embryo says, “Somehow, they brought one of my dolls into your world.”

 

Serena asks, confused, “Your dolls?”

 

Embryo says, looking at Ange, “Yes. The one that faithfully serves lovely Ange despite them being ‘worlds apart’.”

 

Ange asks, “Wait! Momoka? Momoka is here?”

 

Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes. And they are using her to tap into the ‘information network’ of the Light of Mana, most likely to locate me knowing that I have you.” Embryo says, with a smile, “Very…amusing.” Embryo then closes his eyes and the three young ladies look at each other with curious looks on their faces.

 

Serena thinks in her mind, “Must be Pyro and Trista using their mental abilities to do that. Be careful, you two.”

 

April 27, 2026, Moon Kingdom

 

Returning to the Moon Kingdom, Sailor Mars and Sailor Pluto are using their psychic powers to tap into Momoka’s mind to tap into the ‘mental network’ that she is connected to find Embryo’s location when the two of them yelp.

 

Hotaru asks, “Pluto-mama? Raye?”

 

Sailor Mars and Sailor Pluto grunt out in pain and Sailor Mars grunts out, “Damn…bastard!”

 

Mimi asks, curiously, “What’s going on?”

 

Matt says, “Embryo must have found out about them trying to ‘hack’ into his network.”

 

Sailor Mars grunts out, “Ugh…You…you want to…play rough…huh? Well, you are going…to see why…when you mess with fire…you are going to get…get burned…!!” Sailor Mars then gets surrounded by a powerful red aura as her tiara fades and the insignia of Mars appears on her forehead.

 

Vivian asks, “Whoa! What’s up with that?”

 

Lita says, with a grin, “That’s what happens when you get Raye pissed off!”

 

Amara says, with a smirk, “He is going to get it now!”

 

April 27, 2026, Unknown location

 

Back inside of the virtual world that Serena, Ange, and [Suguha] are trapped in, Embryo grunt out as a slight red aura surrounds him.

 

Ange asks, confused, “What the…?”

 

Embryo says, “It seems like your friend has a fiery spirit similar to Ange’s spirit. Very interesting. I like that.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “Fiery spirit?”

 

Serena says, with a smirk, “He is talking about Raye.” Serena tells Embryo, with a wide grin, “I wouldn’t try it if I were you. If you mess with Pyro, you are going to get burned.”

 

Embryo says, with a confident smirk, “I shall take my chances.”

 

Serena starts to step backwards and she thinks, slyly, “You asked for it, Embryo.”

 

Ange asks, curiously, “Why are you backing away?”

 

Serena says, with a confident smile, “Embryo is about to learn why you don’t mess with Pyro.”

 

April 27, 2026, Moon Kingdom

 

Returning to the Moon Kingdom, Sailor Mars and Sailor Pluto grunt out in pain as they and Momoka are surrounded by powerful auras with Sailor Pluto and Sailor Mars grunting out in pain.

 

Hotaru says, worriedly, “Pluto-mama!”

 

Sailor Pluto says, with a grunt, “Stay back…Firefly…!!”

 

Sailor Mars says, angrily and in pain, “Damn him!”

 

Darien asks, “What’s wrong?”

 

Sailor Pluto says, grunting in pain, “He is more…powerful…than we imagined…”

 

Sailor Mars yells out, angrily, “Well…not strong…enough…Now…I&rs quo;m really pissed…and he is going…get his…he isn’t going to win…I swear…as the Soldier of Mars…this evil freak…won’t win…!!” Just then Sailor Mars’ sigil blazes and she is engulfed in a bright light that forces everyone to cover their eyes.

 

Yolei yells out, “What’s the idea with the light show?”

 

Hilda shouts out, “No kidding!” When the light dies down and they are able to look again, they find that Sailor Mars has gained a brand new form!

 

Sailor Mars’ new form consists of her head inside of a Chalcidian type helmet with a small statue in the form of a phoenix on top of the helmet with a silver feathered wing attached to each side of the helmet, her raven hair flowing out the back of the helmet, her tiara remains the same, her lips are a gorgeous and full ruby red color, her cloth fuku has been replaced by an armored one where there is a ruby heart-shaped jewel in the chest area of her fuku, the heart jewel has The Blazing Mars, the Winged Dragon of Ra in Phoenix Mode, and Uria, Lord of Searing Flames in the center of the broach with the insignia of Mars attached to the lower left of the jewel, the heart jewel also has eight white feathered wings attached, she has red shoulder pads similar to the shoulder pads of Ryo’s Wildfire Armor from Ronin Warriors, but with the insignia of Mars on them, she has armored gloves that cover all of her arms that connected to the main armored fuku with phoenix-like claws coming out of the knuckles area of the armor covering her hands, her armored skirt has red, silver, and dark violet as the colors, there is a flaming red composite bow attached to the rear of her skirt, a samurai style sword attached to left area of her skirt, multiple pouches for tools attached to the right area of her skirt, she has dark violet armored kneepads on her knees, and red armored high-heeled boots that just up just past her ankles with three to four inch stiletto heels. Finally, there is a massive specter similar to Dark Magician’s specter expect that it is flame designed in her hands and she has eight huge and fluffy white feathered wings coming out of her back.

 

TK says, amazed, “Whoa!”

 

Patamon says, with a nod, “You said it, TK.”

 

Lita asks, “Did just what I think happened just happen?”

 

Mina says, with a nod, “If you mean that Mars just went Valkyrie, then yep.”

 

Sailor Mars, in her new Valkyrie form, says, strongly, “Okay, you jerk, get ready for real pain!” Sailor Mars’ aura blazes with power and that power flows into Momoka.

 

April 27, 2026, Unknown location

 

Returning to the virtual world that Ange, Serena, and [Suguha] were trapped, Embryo roars out in pain as he is engulfed in a red aura and he collapses to the ground before vanishing.

 

[Suguha] asks, confused, “What the heck just happened?”

 

Serena says, with a smile, “I don’t care how long he has been around or what kind of powers he has. When it comes to the ‘mental battlefield’, Pyro has got him beat in more ways than one.”

 

Ange says, with a smirk, “Nice.”

 

Serena says, “Okay, let’s go.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “Go where?”

 

Serena says, “I know. This is a virtual world, but that’s means that there might be a way to hack into the program. It seems to be similar to the VR worlds that I’m used to. It uses the same menu system that I used ‘over there’.”

 

Ange asks Serena, “You mean that ‘virtual prison’ that you were trapped in for two years?”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “Yeah. And if that’s the case, then there has to be a GM console somewhere around.”

 

Ange asks, “GM console?”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “It is a console that are used by the ‘game masters’ or the administrators of the VR world. I tried to use one before to end that nightmare that I and others were trapped in once and for all.”

 

[Suguha] says, “But this isn’t that same world.”

 

Serena says, “True, but it is based off that world. If I can hack into the program, I might be able to log us out.”

 

Ange asks, “You know how to hack into computers?”

 

Serena says, with a sigh, “Let’s just say that I had to go through a lot of chances ever since SAO.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “But where do we…?” But just then they hear a woman singing causing Ange’s eyes to widen.

 

Ange says, shocked, “It can’t be…”

 

Serena asks Ange, “Ange?” Ange then races off towards the source of the voice and Serena yells out, “Ange!”

 

[Suguha] says, “Let’s follow her!” Serena nods her head in agreement and the two of them head off after Ange.

 

April 27, 2026, Moon Kingdom

 

Back in the Moon Kingdom, the new Valkyrie Sailor Mars is sitting down on a couch and she is holding her head as Hotaru and Darien are looking over her.

 

Hotaru asks, “Are you okay?”

 

Sailor Mars says, “I’ll be fine other than the splitting headache.”

 

With Sailor Pluto, she tells Momoka, “Mars and I managed to put ‘mental blocks’ that will make it harder for Embryo to take control of you, but if you access the power that was given to you like the majority of the people of your world…”

 

Momoka says, “I understand.”

 

Darien asks Sailor Mars, “Mars, did you…?”

 

Sailor Mars says, with a nod, “Yeah, I managed to get an idea on where they could be. And you aren’t going to believe where they are.”

 

By Izzy and Ami, Tai asks them, “Any luck with that device?”

 

Izzy responds, “It is tough, Tai. This device is heavily encoded.”

 

Ami says, “However, we are getting an idea on how the codes work.”

 

Matt says, “Well, we are going to need that information. It might help us stop whatever Professor Shigemura-san is planning.”

 

TK says, “As well as getting help from Professor Shigemura-san’s daughter.”

 

Tai says, “I’m sure that they will get her help. It is bringing her here that’s the problem.”

 

April 27, 2026, Digidestined orphanage

 

Back at the Digidestined orphanage, Davis, Kari, and their two Digimon partners are with Luke and Datamon.

 

Davis asks, “Did it work?”

 

Datamon responds, “What kind of question is that human?”

 

Luke says, with a smile, “Datamon meant to say that it went just fine.” Just then a screen shows Yuuna inside of a garden environment.

 

Kari asks, “Are you okay, Yuna-san?”

 

Yuuna responds, “Just fine. This is really nice.”

 

Luke says, “Glad to hear it, Yuuna-san.”

 

Davis asks, “Okay, we got her, but how did we take her with us?”

 

Datamon says, “What do you take us for human? It will be child’s play to construct her a ‘vessel’ that will you will be easily able to transport her data.”

 

Davis says, “Whatever.”

 

Kari says, a bit nervously, “I had better tell Tai and the others that we have Yuuna-san with us.”

 

Davis says, with a nod, “Good idea.” As Kari heads off, Davis can’t help to think what will happen next.

 

April 27, 2026, Yuuki household

 

Within the Yuuki household, Asuna is sleeping in bed and she is sweating and moaning as she is suffering through a nightmare as she sees her memories of SAO fading in which she sees herself, in her SAO avatar, looking at Kirito/Kazuto, in his SAO avatar, in which he asks who she is causing her to wake up in a cold sweat.

 

Asuna holds her head and she asks, weakly, “How? Why?”

 

April 27, 2026, Unknown location

 

Back inside of the unknown virtual world based on Ange’s Earth, Serena and [Suguha] are running after Ange as a woman’s voice is in the air and Ange is running towards the voice.

 

[Suguha] shouts out, “Ange! Ange!” Soon enough, Ange stops in her tracks as she sees a gorgeous woman with tied up long blond hair, pink eyes, and wearing a gorgeous violet royal dress/gown.

 

Serena asks, surprised, “Who is that?”

 

Ange says, shocked, “Mother…”

 

[Suguha] asks, shocked, “Mother?”

 

The woman looks at Ange and she says, with a warm smile, “Hello, Angelise, my daughter.”

 

Ange asks, “How can this be?”

 

Ange steps forward, but Serena yells out, leaping in front of her, “Ange, no!”

 

Ange asks, “What are you doing?”

 

Serena tells Ange, “Remember where we are! She isn’t really your mother! She is an AI based on your mother!”

 

Ange asks, surprised, “What?!”

 

Serena says, “This is a virtual world. A world where a person can create anything that can feel all too real! You know it as well as I do!”

 

Ange shouts out, “That’s insane! That song! That song was taught to me by my mother!”

 

[Suguha] says, “And sung by Embryo himself, Ange! Remember that? Embryo knows that song!” Ange gasps in realization and she realize that [Suguha] is right in which she lowers her head before looking at the woman that looks like her mother in anger.

 

Ange shouts out, angrily, “How dare you?! How dare you use my mother against me?!”

 

The woman tells Ange, with a loving smile with a hint of a dangerous ‘tone’ to that smile, “Oh, Angelise, don’t be so silly.”

 

Ange yells out, “Enough!”

 

The woman shakes her head and she says, “Oh, Angelise, it’s me. You should know…since you killed me!” The woman then takes on a deformed and ghoulish appearance before her fingers become like claws and she use them to lash out against Ange.

 

Serena shouts out, “Watch out!” Serena and [Suguha] yank Ange out of the way of the ghoulish woman’s attack causing them to yelp as their avatars get scratched by the ghoulish woman.

 

[Suguha] thinks in her mind, “That hurt!”

 

Serena thinks in her mind, “I guess that ass decided to get rid of the pain absorbers for this world. Shouldn’t be surprised by that.”

 

The ghoulish woman shouts out, in an eerie version of her voice, “Angelise! Come home to me! Come home in death!” Ange gives a look of pure fear and disgust as the ghoulish woman prepares to attack them.

 

Just then a young girl’s voice booms, “Let me help you!” Just then Serena is surprised as she is engulfed in a bright glow forcing the ghoulish woman to stop her attack and everyone else to cover their eyes. After a few seconds, they are able to look and they see Serena is in her SAO avatar of Usagi, with his white hooded cloak and twin swords of Elucidator and Lunar Excelsior in her hands.

 

[Suguha] asks, confused, “Serena?”

 

Ange asks, also confused, “What the heck?!”

 

Serena or should I say, Usagi, looks over herself and she thinks, “This gets stranger and stranger all the time.” The ghoulish woman howls as she charges at Usagi and she thinks in her mind, “No time for that!” Usagi uses her blades to block the claw-like hands of the ghoulish woman and the ghoulish woman continues to lash out.

 

[Suguha] says, worriedly, “Serena!”

 

Usagi responds, “I’ve got this!” Soon enough, in quick session, Usagi destroys the claws of the woman and she screeches out in pain before Usagi cuts her in half causing her to vanish in hundreds of data pixels.

 

Usagi puts her swords back into their sheaths and Ange thinks in her mind, “Goodbye, mother.”

 

Ange gives a solemn look and [Suguha] asks, “Will you be okay?”

 

Ange says, plainly, “Fine.”

 

[Suguha] asks, “So, what do we do now?”

 

Just then young girl’s voice booms, “Follow my voice. I will lead you home.”

 

The three of them are surprised by this and Usagi asks, “You heard that right?”

 

Ange says, “Yeah.”

 

[Suguha] says, nodding her head, “Yep.” Just then three of them hear a song similar to the one that AI idol of Ordinal Scale, Yuna, sings.

 

Usagi thinks in her mind, “That song! That voice!” Usagi says, “Follow that song!”

 

[Suguha] asks, “What?”

 

Ange says, “Remember what happened when we just followed a song? That’s just nuts!”

 

Usagi tells Ange, “Let me say that I trust this voice and this song. Let’s just go.” Usagi then heads off towards the direction of the sound of song while Ange and [Suguha] only follow in which they wonder what is at the end of this song…

 

End of Scene 12

 

Okay, we’ve finished this chapter and things are starting to build up. Reinforcements from Ange’s world are coming over and they have possibly gained intelligence that they need to find the Serena, Ange, and [Suguha] as well as the Augma…maybe. Anyway, I think that you already know who that voice was. Personally, I’m not surprised that it was a little too obvious, but I think that it makes for an exciting chapter, everyone. Please read and review and no flames please! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
