[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
As we come into this chapter, I think that UNI-SHOCKER betraying
Embryo is nowhere close to a shocker for any of you. Personally, I
think that a lot of the times when villains ‘team up’
with each other, sooner or later, one or the others are going to
betray each other. It is kind of how they are after all. What will
come of this betrayal? Well, you are going to have to read and find
out, won’t you? Now, before I start this chapter, 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!

Scene
14: Unlocking the Next Phase
April 28, 2026, Earth,
Tokyo
Somewhere within Tokyo, Embryo and the Diamond
Rose Knights are within a luxurious dining room as Embryo calmly
sips his tea.
Salia asks, “Master Embryo, I’m
sorry for any disrespect, but…?”
Embryo says, interrupting, “Why am I not
angry for UNI-SHOCKER’s betrayal of me, Salia? Do not worry,
my dear Salia, they will pay for their actions.”
Salia asks, confused, “But
sir…?”
Embryo raises his head causing Salia to stop
talking and Embryo says, after Salia stops talking, “You are
confused and that’s understandable Salia. But for now, we are
going to need to wait.”
Ersha asks, “For what, sir?”
Embryo says, “For our chance.”
The Diamond Rose Knights look confused and
Chris asks, “Our chance?”
Embryo says, with a smile, “Yes.”
Embryo asks Ersha, “Have you done what I asked, darling
Ersha?”
Ersha says, with a nod, “But of course.
I made sure that the children are safe.”
Embryo says, with a nod, “Good. Now,
first of all, I have to apologize. I have been sending you
unprepared against Ange’s new allies.”
Salia says, “No, Master Embryo. We
should have done better due to the training that you allowed us to
have.”
Embryo says, “You’ve had the
training, yes, but the right equipment? No. To fight against the
Sailor Scouts and their powers, you need to be an even
‘playing field’ and the Ragna-Mail aren’t enough
for that. Their powers…are something else.” Embryo
says, with a sly smile, “However, while we were allies of
UNI-SHOCKER, I never fully trusted them just like you, my dear
Salia. Let’s just say that I was ‘poking around’
their place and I found some…interesting stuff.”
Chris asks, curiously, “Interesting
stuff?”
Embryo says, “Tools that you can use to
fight the Sailor Senshi on a ‘even plain’, but I
didn’t want to endanger your safety.”
The Diamond Rose Knight give amazed looks and
Tanya tells Embryo, “We’ll take the risk,
sir!”
Embryo asks, “Are you sure,
Tanya?”
Irma shouts out, strongly, “You saved us
and gave us purpose!”
Chris says, with a nod, “When my
so-called friends abandoned me to die, you gave me new life. I will
do what it takes to make your vision a reality, Master
Embryo.”
Embryo tells Chris, with a smile, “Thank
you, Chris.”
Tanya asks, “So, what are these
‘tools’, sir?”
Embryo says, with a smile, “Follow
me.”
Salia says, with a nod, “Yes, Master
Embryo.” Embryo then gets to his feet and walks off in which
the others quickly follow him with Embryo having a secret wicked
smirk on his features.
April 28, 2026, Tokyo, Yuuki
residence
Inside of Asuna’s room within the Yuuki
residence, there is a knock on her door.
Asuna asks, “Yes?”
Just then Kazuto’s voice booms,
“It’s me, Asuna.”
Asuna says, with a smile,
“Kirito-kun!” She immediately gets to the door and
opens it to reveal Kazuto who waits until Asuna motions for him to
come into the room.
Kazuto tells Asuna, “Akiyo-san let me
inside.”
Asuna says, with a smile, “I’m
glad that she did.”
Kazuto tells Asuna, “I have good news.
We managed to rescue Sammy from UNI-SHOCKER.”
Asuna says, with a smile, “That’s
good news, Kirito-kun.”
Kazuto says, “Yeah, but we had to go
through a lot in the process and Sugu managed to escape UNI-SHOCKER
before that too.”
Asuna says, excitedly,
“Wonderful!”
Kazuto says, with a sigh, “However,
Sugu’s counterpart has been captured by UNI-SHOCKER after
they betrayed Embryo.”
Asuna asks, “UNI-SHOCKER betrayed
Embryo?”
Kazuto says, with a nod, “Yeah. It had
to happen sooner or later.”
Asuna says, “I see.”
Kazuto says, “However, it isn’t
being close to over. I think that whatever they wanted from Sammy,
they got it.”
Asuna asks, surprised, “What?”
Kazuto says, “We were shocked to find
out too, Asuna…”
Flashback; Earlier the same day; Moon
Kingdom
Within the Moon Kingdom, our heroes and
heroines are assembled together around Ikuko Tsukino, who by the
bedside of a sleeping Sammy Tsukino, lying down on what looks like
a hospital bed with him connected to various machines and various
screens showing his vitals. Ami is then talking with everyone about
what she found.
Serena asks, shocked, “So, there was
stuff in Sammy’s mind?”
Ami says, with a nod, “I believe so.
From the scans that I did, it looked like a lot of data was
downloaded into Sammy’s mind and just recently
removed.”
Ikuko looks concerned and Darien asks,
“Is Sammy all right?”
Ami says, nodding her head, “Yes. The
removal of the data didn’t do any damage to Sammy’s
mind and there was no long-term data from when the data was put in
the first place.”
Kazuto asks, “In which the data has been
in there for over two years, correct?”
Ami says, with a nod, “Yes. I believe
that it has been in there since the SAO beta.”
Amara asks, “But a good chunk of it is
gone?”
Ami says, “Yes, Amara.”
Darien says, seriously, “That means that
they may have gotten what they needed from him.”
Kari asks, curiously, “But what they did
want from him?”
Kazuto says, “That’s a good
question, Kari.”
Ken says, with a nod of his head, “It
must have been important for their plans to ‘revive’
Yuuna-san.”
Yuuna, who is in ‘hologram form’,
gives a solemn look and Serena tells Yuuna, “It isn’t
your fault, Yuuna-san.”
Yuuna says, “I know, Serena-san.
I’m just so horrified. It just hurts so much that dad and
Eiji are hurting so many people just for me.”
Kari tells Yuuna, “But maybe with your
help, we can stop them before this goes any further.”
Ange says, “I won’t dance around
it. It may not go the way that you think. It is NEVER that
easy.”
Amara says, “Ange has a point.”
Amara says, looking at Yuuna, “Once they learn that
Yuuna-san’s ‘mind’ is with us, they may try to
take it and find a way to use Suguha’s power to restore
her.”
Suguha says, “Or my counterpart in this
case.”
Momoka says, “I was surprised to learn
that Suguha came from another world and she is a powerful
princess.”
Hilda says, with a nod, “Yeah, one with
the power of a god…or goddess in her case.”
Suguha says, with a sigh, “How may times
did I need to tell you? My counterpart and I AREN’T
goddesses. We are human girls just like you. Just g-given great
powers.”
Hilda tells Suguha, “Well, powers that our Suguha can’t seem to access since Embryo left her nearly a blank slate.” Rosalie says, “No joke. And you said that guy just took a chunk of her memories.” Davis says, “Yeah, but not all of them.” Tai says, “That’s a good point. A good chuck of her memories is suppressed and not taken.” Hotaru asks, nervously, “Are you saying that they might force her memories to be unlocked to try to unlock her powers?” [Sammy] says, “I wouldn’t put anything behind those guys.” Salamandinay says, “I have to agree. If they would ally with someone like Embryo, even if temporary, they might be capable of anything.” Darien says, “I’ve got to agree with Salamandinay through for different reasons.” Amara asks Ami, “Do we know what information was taken from Sammy?” Ami says, “I’m not exactly certain.” Kazuto says, “However, I’ve got a feeling that it has to do with Sword Art Online. It is the only possible theory that I can think of.” Kotone asks, “But what could Kayaba have put in Sammy that’s from SAO?” Kazuto says, “Anything and everything, Kotone.” End Flashback; Return to the Present As Asuna comes back into her room with a tray that has two cups of tea and some snack cakes in which she sets them on the table nearby. Asuna asks, “How is Sammy?” Kazuto says, “He is doing okay. It seems like the ‘data download’ didn’t damage his brain at all, but Ami, Izzy, and Darien are making sure.” Asuna says, “I’m glad that Suguha-chan is safe, but I’m worried for her counterpart.” Kazuto says, with a nod, “Same here, Asuna. Salamandinay and Darien have a good point. They want the power of Etherion and they will do whatever to get it for their goals.” Asuna says, “Oh no.” Kazuto says, “We’re working on another plan to get into UNI-SHOCKER, but after the successful raid last time, they are going to be better prepared. Ami already has detected new sensors and fields surrounding their headquarters.” Asuna says, “I see.” Kazuto asks Asuna, concerned, “How are you doing Asuna?” Asuna replies, with a kind smile, “I’m okay, Kirito-kun.” Asuna says, with a smile, “I forgot something. Hold on, Kirito-kun.” Asuna then heads off to get something and Kazuto looks at Asuna, concerned, in which he looks around her room while making sure that he isn’t doing anything inappropriate. However, he then sees a dairy and looks inside of it in which his eyes widen as he looks at what is written. When Asuna reenters the room, she gasps in shock to see Kazuto looking at her dairy. She puts down the stuff that she brought in by the table and she says, annoyed, “Kirito-kun, how could you do that? Looking at…!!” However, Asuna is yelped as Kazuto hugs her and tackling her to the bed in which Asuna sees the look of GREAT concern in Kazuto’s eyes. Kazuto tells Asuna, “I didn’t know…” Asuna, sighs, knowing what Kazuto is talking about and Asuna tells Kazuto, with a weak smile, “I didn’t want to worry you more with Suguha-chan being captured and other things.” Kazuto tells Asuna, “I’ll get your memories back, Asuna. We, all, will make sure of that.” Asuna says, with a smile, “I know, Kirito-kun.” Asuna then blushes and she tells Kazuto, “Maybe you could let me go, Kirito-kun. My parents aren’t in, but…” Kazuto then realizes the ‘position’ that they were in, he blushes like mad, and he leaps off Asuna on the double. Kazuto says, nervously, “I’m sorry, Asuna! I…It was just…!!” Asuna gets to her feet and she says, with a smile, “It’s okay, Kirito-kun. I can understand that you are really worried about me.” Kazuto tells Asuna, “As I said, I’ll get your memories back, Asuna.” Asuna says, with a grin, “I know that you and the others will, Kirito-kun. You and Serena-chan have never let me down before.” Kazuto says, “I just hope that Serena is okay.” Asuna tells Kazuto, “Did something happen Kirito-kun?” Kazuto tells Asuna, “I’ll tell you everything that happened while you were ‘out’ due to what happened to you.” Asuna nods her head and she listens to Kazuto about what has happened ever since she got her SAO memories taken away in which she has a ‘bad feeling’. April 28, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District Within the Juuban District of Tokyo, we find ourselves within apartment complex where the apartment home of both Darien Shields and Serena Tsukino AKA Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon where we find Darien sleeping in his bed, but he then slowly awakens as he is moaning and groan in which he looks over to see Serena rolling and tossing in her sleep with her sweating a lot. Darien asks, concerned, “Serena?” Serena doesn’t respond as she is moaning and groaning in which he says, concerned while gently shaking her, “Serena? Serena?!” Serena then yelps out as she wakes up with a start and she looks at Darien with flushed cheeks in which he asks, concerned, “What’s wrong?” Serena responds, her face flush, “I don’t…I don’t know…I’m burning up inside…I’m so hot…!!” Darien puts his hand to Serena’s forehead and he says, “You don’t seem to have a fever…” He then yelps as Serena tackles him to the bed and she molds her body, clad in a nightgown, against his body causing him to ask, stunned and a bit flush forms in his cheeks, “What’s gotten into you, Meatball Head?” Serena tells Darien, “I’m sorry, Darien-kun, but I…I…” Serena then passionate and intensely kisses Darien on the lips and he then remembers what happened to Serena when she was captured by Embryo. Darien thinks in his mind, “Could this be some kind of aftereffect of the torture that sick fiend, Embryo, put her and Ange through?” When Serena breaks off the kiss, Darien tells Serena, “Serena, you might be suffering from some kind of aftereffect of the torture that Embryo put you through.” Serena moans out, “I…I think…that you are right…but I…I can’t stop myself…Ooh, hold me…hold me…!!” Serena then starts to nibble on Darien’s left ear and then kisses his neck causing him to get flush and he can’t help to mentally sigh as he gently hugs Serena in which she then brings him into another deep and passionate kiss causing him to return the kiss hoping that his beloved will be okay, but he also feels helpless since he feels that he can’t protect the princess that he loves so much. April 28, 2026, Tokyo, Kirigaya household Inside of the Kirigaya household, Suguha is sleeping in her own bed and she is also tossing and turning before she wakes up with a gasp. Trivia, her Lunarian feline advisor, asks her, “Is something wrong, princess?” Suguha responds, “I’m fine, Trivia. Just…Just had a bad dream.” Trivia responds, narrowing her eyes, “You have been plenty of those during the recent month.” Suguha asks Trivia, “Can you really blame me with all the adventures that we had?” Trivia says, “While there are possibly situations that could cause the induction of ‘bad dreams’, I don’t think that the ‘dreams’ should happen the majority of this whole month.” Suguha tells Trivia, annoyed, “Do you know how annoying you really are?” Trivia says, with a smile, “You keep telling me that every day, my princess.” Suguha gives a groan as she gets up showing that she is wearing just a long shirt over her undergarments in which she heads to the bathroom where she splashes water over her face. Suguha thinks in her mind, “What the heck? What is up with these weird dreams and nightmares? Serena and I facing a…a creature that looks like a villain from one of those American manga, I’m trapped in SAO with a guy and changing what happened there, and four weirdos that look similar to me as Sailor Celestial? And what’s weirder, they don’t feel like ‘dreams’. They felt all too real especially me facing that…creature.” Suguha puts her hand over her heart and she thinks in her mind, shaking her head, “I can’t think about stupid dreams right now. My counterpart is counting on all of us and plus, Yuuna-san and her AI counterpart needs us to stop his dad and Eiji from doing something that sounds as horrible as SAO. And I’ve got a bad feeling that Yuuna-san’s AI ‘sister’ wasn’t exaggerating when she said this. It has to do with the memory loss that Asuna and the other SAO survivors that ‘lost’ in Ordinal Scale have experienced.” Suguha uses a towel to wipe her hair and face and prepares to head back to bed knowing that she needs all the rest that she can for tomorrow. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Touto Institute of Technology Inside of the Touto Institute of Technology, Professor Tetsuhiro Shigemura, the creator of Augma and Ordinal Scale, is giving a group of people a lecture on the advantages of Augmented Reality to Virtual Reality. In crowd, there is a young lady with short blond hair, brown eyes with circular glasses in front of those brown eyes, and wearing a blue business style female outfit. There is also a young man with well-combed short brown hair, blue eyes with glasses in front of his eyes, and wearing a brown business style male suit. Elsewhere within the building, we are coming to the office of Professor Shigemura where it is quiet and then Tuxedo Mask, Kamen Rider Lunar, and Kazuto appear within the room. Tuxedo Mask says, “Here we are.” Kazuto says, “It seems like the ‘cloaking device’ still works here.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “I don’t think that they doubt that we wouldn’t come here, but they are mainly focused on their headquarters due to Suguha’s escape and our raid in it.” Tuxedo Mask asks Kamen Rider Lunar, “But what makes you think that we will find something here?” Kazuto says, “I think we can.” Tuxedo Mask asks, “What?” Kazuto says, “The reason behind Eiji’s power in Ordinal Scale.” Tuxedo Mask asks, “You think that his abilities in Ordinal Scale aren’t ‘natural’?” Kazuto says, “Something about him feels really off, Darien.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “You have a good idea to suspect that. If they want to extract memories from the SAO survivors for their plans, I don’t think that they will rely on the SAO bosses alone.” Kazuto says, with a nod of his head, “I agree. Eiji needs to be the best if he is going to defeat SAO survivors to allow the Augma to take their memories.” The three of them look around and they find a picture of Yuuna in which Kamen Rider Lunar says, “That’s her.” Kazuto says, looking at the picture, “Yuuna-san. Professor Shigemura-san’s daughter.” Tuxedo Mask says, “What Professor Shigemura is doing is wrong, but he is doing what he is doing out of love.” Kazuto says, with a nod, “And I also think guilt too. Kayaba was his student and he was the one that gave Eiji and Yuuna the NervGear and game cartridges that got them trapped in SAO with Yuuna-san losing her life.” Tuxedo Mask says, “And I think that it is the same for Eiji: Love and guilt.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “And I also think a bit of revenge. Your Meatball Head did everything in her power to save her while trapped in there, but he still hates her for not saving her.” Kazuto says, “She is Sailor Moon, but Serena is still only human and she did whatever she could to save her.” Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “I fully agree, Kazuto. However, Eiji doesn’t see it that way.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “The ass just needed someone to blame.” Kazuto says, “I don’t think that’s completely the case with Eiji.” Kamen Rider Lunar asks Kazuto, “What do you mean by that?” Kazuto says, “Something just tells me that he is just ‘sharing the blame’. He blames Serena and himself. Remember the story back in SAO when Eiji was Nautilus of the Knights of the Blood Oath? I think that he felt that his ‘problem’ was just plain cowardice in his mind because he couldn’t save the person that was most precious to him.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “And what if he told Asuna that story that he told his legs couldn’t move despite him telling to move in order to his shame of his freezing during a fight? He could have just froze.” Kazuto says, with a nod, “That could be true. I’m not saying this to lessen his ‘crime’ in this, but when Serena spoke about him when she was trying to rescue Eiji, Yuuna, and all of the players with them, Eiji, as Nautilus, seem to want to move, but his legs wouldn’t move at all. FNC with the NervGear and other Full-Dive devices aren’t unusual and different forms of FNC aren’t strange either.” Kazuto says, with a serious tone, “But right now, we aren’t here to judge his actions in his past. We are here to prevent him and Professor Shigemura-san from committing an act that rivaled the one that took Yuuna-san’s life and left her trapped as a ‘digital existence’.” Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Right.” They continue on looking around and when they open a drawer, they find a strange device in which Kazuto takes a look at it. Kamen Rider Lunar asks, “Did you find something?” Kazuto says, plainly, “I might have.” When Kazuto takes out the device, Tuxedo Mask asks, seeing, “What is it?” Kazuto says, “It could be nothing.” Kazuto focuses his mind and he remembers about seeing a ‘glow’ from the back of Eiji’s neck. Kamen Rider Lunar says, “Form the way that you are reacting, I don’t think that’s nothing.” Kazuto says, “Let’s get Izzy and Ami to examine this.” Tuxedo Mask says, “Okay.” The three of them continue to examine the office, but they don’t find anything that they are looking for. Kazuto asks, “Anything?” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “Nothing.” Tuxedo Mask says, after shutting down the computer in the room, “Nothing. He made sure not to put anything that would clue us in.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “Most likely, he kept the ‘important stuff’ at UNI-SHOCKER headquarters.” Kazuto says, “Let’s go.” Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Right.” Soon after, the three of them get together and they seem to vanish leaving the room exactly as they left it in which when Professor Shigemura enters the room shortly after Kazuto, Kamen Rider Lunar, and Tuxedo Mask ‘vanish’, he doesn’t see anything out of place, but for a second, he gets a feeling that something is ‘off’, however, he ignores it for the time being as he goes over to his desk and looks at the picture of Yuuna, his daughter, with an intense stare. Professor Shigemura thinks in his mind, “Soon, Yuuna…Soon…” April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District Right now, somewhere within Juuban, Tusk, Vivian, Ange, Rosalie, and Hilda are assembled together and all of them are wearing regular clothing to bend in with the people in the city. Tusk asks Ange, “Are you sure that you are okay, Ange?” Ange responds, with a sigh, “I told you that I’m just fine, Tusk.” Tusk says, “I’m just concerned for you, Ange.” Ange says, “I know, Tusk.” Hilda says, looking all over Juuban, “Man! How can these people build so big? They must get headaches!” Rosalie says, with a nod, “No kidding!” Ange says, “Don’t stare too much. We are trying to bend in.” Hilda says, with a smirk, “It isn’t like it is that hard, princess. No one has Mana, so, we’re like one of the crowd.” Rosalie says, looking around, “This feels kind of weird.” Ange tells Rosalie, “What’s so weird about it?” Rosalie tells Ange, “You don’t know since your parents hid it until you were exposed by that jackass of a brother of yours, but you never knew what it meant to be so different from the rest of society.”
Ange says, “Well, you don’t have to worry about that since our ‘society’ will be going down the gutter.” Hilda asks, with a grin, “Still thinking that you can do it, huh, princess?” Ange responds, with a smirk, “I know that I can, Hilda.” Hilda says, with a grin, “That’s good to know.” Tusk says, “It looks all so peaceful.” Vivian says, “Yeah! Despite all of the ‘monster attacks’, they don’t seem too ‘on guard’ for it!” Ange says, “Well, they have gotten used to it, Vivian.” Rosalie says, shaking her head, “This is one weird world.” Hilda says, “No joke.” Rosalie asks, “And our Suguha come from a world like this?” Tusk says, with a nod, “That’s right. Remember the Suguha that we know is just a different version that we know. From what her counterpart on this Earth and her friends and family can tell us, she is pretty much the same with the same powers.” Hilda says, “So, our Suguha comes from a place like this? It makes you wonder.” Rosalie says, looking into a store, “This stuff is really something else. Plenty of it is better than the best stuff that we can get at Arzenal.” Just then a familiar female voice says, “It is, isn’t it? Quite a wonderful place.” The group gasps and they turn in which they see Salia and the Diamond Rose Knights, dressed in regular civilian clothing, walking out in front of them. Ange says, with a glare, “Salia.” Salia says, “Hello, Ange.” Ange says, “You have got a lot of nerve to face us, Salia.” Salia says, with a sly smirk, “And you have got a lot of nerve to come out into the open with your precious new friends, Ange.” Ange says, with a smirk, “Ha! We can take care of you and ridiculous Diamond Rose Losers without them with one hand tied behind our backs!” Irma says, annoyed, “Really? You don’t have anything to protect you!” Ange retorts, with a grin, “Really? In this world, you can’t run around with a gun unless you want to be arrested, but there are other ways to defend ourselves. Would you like to try?” Irma snarls at Ange and Salia says, “Easy, Irma. You get pissed off at Ange and you fall right into her trap.” Tusk asks, seriously, “What do you want Salia?” Salia responds, “We’re issuing a challenge to your new friends. They are going to face us in a fight and to make things a bit fairer, we’re not going to use our Ragna-Mails.” There are surprised looks and Vivian asks, curiously, “Seriously?” Hilda responds, “Yeah, right! Did they knock those screws in your head completely loose? You remember how powerful they are? And they are only getting stronger!” Chris says, “They may be powerful, but they are nothing against Master Embryo.” Ange asks, with a stern tone, “And why should we give them that challenge in the first place?” Salia tells Ange, “Seriously, Ange?” Ange asks, seriously, “What’s that supposed to mean Salia?” Chris tells Ange, “Did you forget the power of Master Embryo, Ange? I thought that you would have learned your lesson by now.” Ange says, “I’m not afraid of his tricks.” Salia tells Ange, “There is more to Master Embryo’s power than just tricks.” Ange says, “Well, I’m still not impressed.” Rosalie steps forward and Chris asks, annoyed, “What do you want?” Rosalie tells Chris, “Chris, please don’t do this.” Chris asks, annoyed, “Is that all you have to say?” Hilda asks, “Can’t you see that he is just using you?” Chris yells out, angrily, “Master Embryo isn’t using me! He is a true friend unlike you! You left me to die!” Rosalie says, “No! I didn’t want to leave you! I wanted to go back for you!” Chris says, angrily, “Like I believe you. Master Embryo truly cares about me unlike you. You just used me like a toy.” Rosalie says, protesting, “That’s not true!” Chris says, “Oh, really? You don’t remember when we were younger. When Hilda said that she didn’t want me wear my hair in pigtails for example.” Hilda gives a nervous look at that and Chris says, with a nasty glare, “You just didn’t want someone else to have pigtails like you. You didn’t care for my feelings and you never did.” Hilda says, nervously, “Come on, we were just goofy kids…” Chris yells out, angrily, “Shut up!” Hilda and Rosalie flinch from that and Chris says, “Master Embryo cares about who I am and who I want to be unlike you. He is my true friend and my only friend.” Rosalie says, plainly, “Chris…” Ange says, plainly, “Okay, enough with the drama. You haven’t proven to me why I should even bother them with you.” Salia takes out a piece of paper, throws to Ange, who catches it, and Salia says, with a grin, “Give this to them and they will understand.” Soon after, Salia and the rest of the Diamond Rose Knight vanish through a form of teleportation. Tusk asks, confused, “How…?” Vivian replies, “Answer: You got me!” Rosalie says, solemnly, “Chris…” Tusk asks Ange, “So, what’s that they gave you?” Ange says, “Let’s give it to the others and see if they make heads or tails of it.” April 29, 2026, Moon Kingdom Within the Moon Kingdom, our ‘main cast’, including our heroes and heroines, are assembled together with everyone from Ange’s Earth in which they are looking at the picture of the Moon Kingdom with Embryo on it. Lita asks, “How did the heck did he get here?” Mina says, “It has to be some kind of photoshop edit.” Amara says, “It might be.” Darien asks, with a serious tone, “But knowing Embryo’s powers, can we take the risk?” Yolei says, “You know that this is a trap.” Raye says, with a nod, “That’s quite obvious, Yolei.” Hotaru says, “Plus, Yuna-san’s concert is tonight and most likely, it is a trap for all those SAO survivors playing Ordinal Scale.” Kazuto asks Ami, “You have any idea on breaking the tablet?” Ami says, “Well, I…” Ami then asks, eyes widening, “Hold on, what’s this?” Everyone looks at Ami and she is typing on a holographic keyboard in which she says, “Where did this come from? I don’t understand…” Serena asks Ami, “What’s wrong, Ami-chan?” Ami says, “Someone managed to hack into this server.” There are multiple gasps and Joe asks, surprised, “Huh? But this is a computer system for a hidden kingdom on the MOON! How could anyone hack into this computer system?” Darien asks Ami, seriously, “Can you track it?” Ami says, shaking her head, “No. The ‘hack’ was only around for a few seconds. Enough to download…” Ami says, her eyes widen, “Wait! This is it!” Mina asks, confused, “What’s it?” Ami says, “I just found the way to gain access to the information on the tablet! The data file sent here just contained the solution.” Izzy says, amazed, “Ami’s right! It contains what we need to break the ‘firewalls’ on the files!” Tai asks, suspiciously, “Okay, someone just gave us the information to unlock this?” Matt says, with a nod, “And they just able to hack into a computer system not connected to Earth’s network and hidden here on the moon? I get where you are going, Tai, and I agree.” Amara says, nodding her head, “Same here.” Rika says, nodding her head, “Ditto.” Darien says, “I have to agree that’s suspicious.” Kazuto says, “You should run a diagnostic scan to make sure that none of the computers have been ‘invaded’.” Izzy says, with a nod, “Good idea.” Ami nods her head in agreement and the two of them make sure that there isn’t anything that could ‘invade’ their computer systems. When they are done, Ami says, “Everything clears out.” Ken says, “I still don’t like it.” Tai tells Ken, “A lot of us can agree with you, Ken. There are quite a few times when Izzy got something ‘helpful’ from an unexpected source and it bit us in the butt.” Ami says, “I have to agree that this is highly suspicious, but this is our best bet to discover the secrets of the Augma.” Serena tells Ami, “Do it.” Plenty of the others look at Serena in surprise and Raye says, “Hey! Whoa, Meatball Head!” Serena says, with a sigh, “What choice do we have? We, all, have a bad feeling about the Augma, but we haven’t found a thing.” Kazuto says, “True.” Kazuto asks Ami and Izzy, “But how was your mission to Professor Shigemura’s lecture?” Izzy responds, “When we asked about the dangers of the Augma, Professor Shigemura-san ‘skirted’ over the issue.” Amara says, plainly, “That’s no surprise.” Davis says, “I’ve got to say that what other information do we’ve got right now? We don’t exactly have much in the way of choice.” Kari says, with a nod, “I’ve got to agree with Dai-kun.” TK says, “I don’t like it, but we don’t have many options now.” Plenty of the others nod their heads in agreement and Izzy and Ami then use the information given to them by their ‘mysterious benefactor’. When they are done, Izzy says, “It worked!” Izzy and Ami then look over the data and they gasp in shock and horror. Ami says, horrified, “It can’t be!” Izzy says, looking over the data, “I wish that it wasn’t, but it is!” Kotone asks, concerned, “What’s wrong?” Rika says, “You look like you have seen a ghost or something.” Izzy says, “Close to it. A ‘ghost’ from SAO! The Augma is actually a reengineered NervGear!” There are gasps of shock and horror and Yolei yells out, shocked, “Seriously?!” Kazuto and Serena immediately look over the data and Serena says, horrified, “Oh, Kami…” Kazuto says, seriously, “They’re right! The Augma is a reengineered NervGear with a limiter!” Matt says, “Oh, shit!” Davis says, with a nod, “No kidding, Matt!” Joe says, nodding his head, “This is really bad!” Sora asks, “So, that’s why…?” Darien says, interrupting, “Yes, it is.” Yuuna, in hologram form, says, solemnly, “Oh, daddy…” Kazuto asks Izzy, realizing something, “Izzy, isn’t Yuna supposed to have a big concert tonight?” Izzy says, with a nod, “That’s right.” Darien says, with a plain tone, “It must be a trap to gather as many SAO survivors as possible.” Ami says, concerned, “Oh no!” Mina asks Ami, “What’s wrong, Ami-chan?” Ami says, “To gather so many memories from so many people at once, he would have to perform a high-frequency scan.” Kazuto asks, very concerned, “A high-frequency scan?” Lita says, shocked, “Don’t tell me.” Ami says, with a nod, “A level of what a NervGear did to a person that ‘died’ in SAO.” There are gasps of shock and horror and Yuuna says, with tears in her virtual eyes, “Oh, Kami…daddy…” Serena tells Yuuna, “Yuuna-san, we will make sure that it won’t happen.” Amara says, “However, we also have another set of problems.” Ange says, “Like rescuing our Suguha and the challenge from Salia and the others.” Suguha asks Ange, “How confident were they?” Ange responds, “Very confident.” Tusk says, adding in, “Confident that they didn’t need their Ragna-Mails to beat you.” Yolei says, plainly, “That’s a trap.” Mimi says, nodding her head, “I agree.” Gatomon says, nodding her head, “Ditto.” Tai says, plainly, “They couldn’t make it any more obvious.” Lita says, “Well, they are no longer allies with UNI-SHOCKER. They can’t be that dangerous.” Tusk says, “Anyone associated with Embryo, even if they are being manipulated, are dangerous. You can’t underestimate them.” Ange says, “Tusk has a point. They are a real pain in the ass.” Rosalie asks, annoyed, “So, what do you expect us to do princess?” Ange asks Rosalie, “Really, Rosalie? You really think that we are going to play by Embryo’s rules?” Rosalie and Hilda smirk at this and Amara says, “Hey, hold it!” Ange tells Amara, “Don’t ‘hold it’ to me, Amara! This is much our problem as it is yours! Don’t think that you are going to keep us out of it!” Rosalie says, sternly, “That’s right! Those are our friends being used by that bastard and I’m going to get Chris…Them back!” Hilda says, “Personally, I just want to kick the ass of our world’s so-called ruler.” Ange says, “That’s a surprise, Hilda. For once, we can agree on something.” Hilda tells Ange, with a grin, “Don’t expect it to be a pattern, princess.” Lita asks, “So, what shall we do?” Darien says, “I think that we should take Embryo’s ‘threat’ seriously.” Trista says, with a nod, “Agreed, Darien. However, it is right to say that this is a trap for us. And they wouldn’t perform this tactic if they felt that it wasn’t going to work.” Hotaru asks Trista, “Are you certain Trista?” Trista says, “Embryo has had enough time to study us, our tactics, and our abilities. Plus, he was temporary allied with UNI-SHOCKER who has faced other versions of us before and despite us being stronger versions of the ones that they have faced, we have seen that they have developed weapons to counter our powers.” Amara says, “And it might be a given that Embryo might have taken a few ‘toys’ that they had without permission.” Trista says, with a nod, “Indeed, Amara.” Ami says, “And we have no idea what we are facing.” Shion says, with a nod, “That’s right. That also means that we shouldn’t play by their rules or should I say, play by what they imply.” Lita asks Shion, “What do you mean by that?’ Shion says, with a smirk, “They just told Ange that they are challenging us. They didn’t say that we couldn’t bring anyone to help.” Ange says, with a sly grin, “No, they didn’t.” Amara says, with a wide smirk, “I like where you are going with this.” Shion says, “All’s fair in love and war and this isn’t love. Also, when we are the villains’ fair? However, we aren’t breaking rules and playing by ‘their rules’ since they didn’t say not to bring anyone else to help us.” Mina says, with a grin, “You have got to love loopholes.” Davis says, with a sly smirk, “You know it, girlfriend!” Kazuto says, “But remember, we also have the matter of Yuna’s concert tonight. Based on what we know, he is planning to use it to do a mass scan of all SAO survivors there to revive Yuuna-san as an AI.” Kazuto says, looking at Yuuna in hologram form, “What he doesn’t know is that his daughter has a ‘digital form’ now.” Mina says, with a sigh, “Something tells me that this is going to be a long day.” Lita says, with a nod, “You said it, Mina-chan.” Tai says, “Well, there is also something else bugging me.” Sora asks Tai, “What’s that Tai?” Tai responds, “That message that allowed us to access that information.” Matt says, “You are asking about who sent us the information needed to access it and why they helped us.” Amara says, “That’s a very good question, Matt.” Kazuto says, “A very good question indeed.” Davis says, “But we really don’t have the time to consider it. If they are going to do that mass scan tonight, then we don’t have time.” TK says, with a nod, “Davis is right. There are too many lives in danger.” Darien says, nodding his head, “I’ve got to agree with Davis and TK. There isn’t time to wonder about that.” Suguha says, nodding her head in agreement, “Good point.” Shion says, also nodding her head in agreement, “Same here.” Tai says, with a serious tone, “Then let’s get to work!” The others nod their heads in agreement, but plenty of them can’t help to wonder on who gave them the information needed to unlock Professor Shigemura’s tablet to get them this important information. April 29, 2026, Tokyo Somewhere within Tokyo, we find ourselves at an unknown location where we find a young woman looking at the holographic and regular computer screens. This young woman looks to be around 26 years of age with deep violet hair tied in a bun with chest long bangs, glasses in front of her red eyes, and wearing a tight black skirt with black stockings rimmed with black paisley. She also wears a long-sleeved, classy, white dress shirt which reveals much of her bust; while wearing black camisole underneath. Just then female voice asks, “Suzume-sensei?” The young woman looks back to see a young lady coming towards her. This young lady looks to be 18-19 years of age withblonde hair that is curled at the ends with a large pink bow on top. She wears what resembles pink and white lingerie with white cups, and a diamond shaped opening revealing her cleavage. On her legs and arms are white garments, and she wears thin white bottom with simple pink high heels. On her back is a large white lab coat lined with many different vials filled with hazardous chemicals. The violet haired woman tells the blond-haired woman, “Haruka, how are you?” The blond-haired woman responds, with a sly smile, “I believe that you know the answer to that one Suzume-sensei.” The violet haired woman says, with a nod, “Understandable, Haruka.” The blond-haired woman, Haruka, asks, “Sensei, why are you helping them?” The violet haired woman, Suzume, replies, with a smile, “For our own goals. If these outsiders succeed, we won’t have a chance for our plans.” Haruka asks, “Wouldn’t Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan, and Hinata-chan be enough?” Suzume replies, with a sly smile, “Maybe, but a shinobi must consider all possibilities. Remember, their world is a famous anime and manga in ours, so, while we may have the edge, they can regroup and counter them.” Haruka says, “Maybe or maybe not, Suzume-sensei. While he is famous, Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan, and Hinata-chan are still considered fictional.” Suzume says, “True, but they aren’t stupid, Haruka. Our former school will be keeping a close eye on things especially those of the Sailor Scouts and Digidestined especially with the appearance of Sailor Celestial.” Haruka says, with a sly smile, “I have to admit that girl isn’t half bad.” Suzume says, “Sailor Celestial is a warrior and she is one of the most powerful Sailor Scouts of them all.” Haruka says, “That’s why we need her on our side.” Suzume says, with a nod, “Correct. And we need to make sure that no one else gets their hands on her.” Haruka says, “Especially that pretty boy that pretends to be a kami.” Suzume says, “You see why Naruto-kun hates their kind so much.” Haruka says, with a nod, “Indeed.” Suzume says, “Now, we wait and see.” Haruka and Suzume give wide wicked smiles on their lips. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District Within the Odiaba District, Salia, Chris, Ersha, Irma, and Tanya are waiting in the open. Tanya asks, “Where are they already?” Ersha says, “You think that they won’t come? Our challenge was quite vague.” Salia says, with a plain tone, “They’ll come.” Chris asks, “How can you be so sure?” Just then a female voice booms, “Maybe you should look up.” The Diamond Rose Knights gasp in which they look up to see Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Valkyrie Sailor Celestial, Valkyrie Sailor Sun, Valkyrie Sailor Pluto, and Valkyrie Sailor Mars float down in front of them. Salia asks, “Just the five of you?” Sailor Mars says, “Five is more than enough to take care of you, tools.” Chris says, “Don’t count on it.” Sailor Celestial says, “Doubt it, Chris. Without your Ragna-Mails, you aren’t a real threat. Heck, you aren’t a real threat with them.” Tanya says, with a smirk, “I guess that you are another version of Suguha.” Irma says, “A little too cocky for your own good. Guess you are a princess.” Sailor Celestial says, “One that’s about to give you a royal butt kicking.” Chris says, with a glare, “Just try it.” Sailor Moon asks, “How are you going to defeat us without your Ragna-Mails?” Salia says, with a wide smirk, “This is why.” The Diamond Rose Knights then display five strange weapons including a spear with a blue crystal tip, two swords with crystal-like blades, one sword having a blue blade while the other had a red serrated blade, a chain with two red crystals shaped into arrow-like blades, and a crossbow with an arrow already inside of it with the arrow having a crystal-like tip. Sailor Celestial asks, “What the heck are…?!” Sailor Celestial and Sailor Mars then ‘sense’ something and Sailor Mars says, shocked, “Oh, shit! Those aren’t ordinary weapons!” Just then all five weapons glows along with Salia and her group and when the glow fades away, all five are them are wearing Valkyrie-like armor like those seen on television, movies, and literature. Chris says, amazed, “It worked.” Sailor Sun says, nervously, “Uh oh. This is going to be trouble.” Tanya says, with a grin, “You know it!” Salia says, with a sly smirk, “Guess what? We are ‘Valkyries’ too!” The Diamond Rose Knights glow with power and Sailor Mars says, “This is no joke! They are filled with incredible power!” Chris says, with a sinister sneer, “Payback time.” The five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts are now facing the five Diamond Rose Knights, who now have strange weapons giving them Valkyrie style armor and special powers, in what could be a deadly duel. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters Within UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, [Suguha] is trapped within what looks like a human-sized glass cylinder attached to high-tech equipment in which said equipment are attached to a group of severs where Eiji and Professor Shigemura. [Darien] walks in on them and he asks, “Is everything ready?” Professor Shigemura responds, “Yes, it is.” [Darien] says, “You know what your stake in this is.” Eiji says, “You don’t have to remind us. We will be prepared to do what it takes.” Professor Shigemura says, “As long as we get Yuuna back, we don’t care what you do with this technology.” [Darien] says, “Good.” [Suguha] says, with a plain tone, “If you want to use my powers to get what you want, you are in a big disappoint. And no, I’m not going to claim that I don’t have powers. I know that I do, but they are locked tighter than safe since I don’t remember how to use my powers and they locked themselves away since a huge chunk of my damn memories are missing.” [Darien] says, “We already know that.” [Suguha] says, “Then you should know that pretty boy so-called deity has them in his hands. If you hadn’t betrayed him, you might have gotten them back to unlock my powers.” [Darien] retorts, “Do you think that we are really stupid, brat? We give you your memories and we have two Sailor Celestial instead of one to deal with. And something tells me that you are just as annoying as the one in this world.” [Suguha] responds, with a sly smirk, “You want to find out?” [Darien] says, “You won’t be so cocky when we are done with you.” [Suguha] says, “Too much harm comes to me and you may lose my powers for good.” [Darien] responds, with a wicked smile, “Doesn’t matter. There is a spare in this world.” [Suguha] says, with a sly grin, “Last time that I checked, SHE broke out of this place and made you, guys, look like a bunch of idiots.” [Darien] twitches an eyebrow and he tells Professor Shigemura, “Let’s hurry it up. The less I have to talk with her, the better.” [Suguha] gives a victorious smirk as [Darien] prepares to walk away as a holographic screen appears just above him. The figure on the screen says, “My friend, I think that you might want to see this.” [Darien] then looks to see the holographic screen showing the unfolding battle between the Diamond Rose Knights and five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts which [Darien’s] eyes widen at the armor that the Diamond Rose Knights are wearing. [Darien] says, with a sneer, “It looks like Embryo has been putting his hands on our ‘cookie jar’.” [Darien] says, with a sinister smirk, “I’m going to need to have a ‘talk’ about that.” [Darien] then walks away in which Eiji sneers at him while Professor Shigemura continues his work with [Suguha] gaining a concerned look. Unknown to any of them, within another part of the building, they are being watched by a figure from a holographic screen. The figure says, with a sinister sly tone, “Fools. You will be playing into my hands soon. I will do what not even Kayaba could and untie the virtual and ‘real’ together.” April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District Back in Odiaba District, we find our five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts, Moon, Mars, Pluto, Sun, and Celestial, are facing against the Diamond Rose Knights with their new weapons, powers, and Valkyrie style armor in which Sailor Moon is dodging assault from Chris and her brand-new chain weapon. Chris says, with a sly smirk, “Not so fun when you are the one that’s outmatched.” On the meanwhile, Sailor Celestial and Salia are fighting it out with Salia using her new spear against Sailor Celestial’s two swords. Salia says, with a wicked smile, “While I want to use this to pummel Ange into the ground, you are going to have to do.” Sailor Celestial says, “You are going to have to do better than that, Salia.” Salia says, with a sly smirk, “I intend to!” Salia and Sailor Celestial get into intense combat with Sailor Celestial with Salia’s new spear clashing with Sailor Celestial’s swords with Sailor Mars dodging a lot of different elemental blots from Ersha’s new crossbow. Sailor Pluto dodges a sword swipe from Tanya and she yells out, “You don’t know what kind of powers that you are messing with!” Tanya responds, “We know what we are messing with bitch! You are just scared since the odds are now even!” Tanya slams her sword into the ground creating a massive shockwave that sends all five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts flying into the air, but they easy right themselves and float in the air above them. Irma yells out, excitedly, “Yes, we’ve got them!” Sailor Celestial says, with a serious tone, “We’ve just begun to fight!” Salia says, with a wicked smile, “That’s good. It wouldn’t be much fun if the fight ended too soon.” The Diamond Rose Knight then continue their assault against the five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts in which they seemly don’t know that another Valkyrie Sailor Scout, Sailor Orion, is watching from a distance using her equipment to look at the situation. Sailor Orion says, into a communication piece, “You understand the situation.” Darien’s voice booms, “Understand loud and clear. Now, we can see why those girls challenges us. From what Ami says, their power levels rival theirs.” Sailor Orion asks, “Shall I engage?” But then, a ‘feeling’ comes over Sailor Orion and she leaps into the air, spins around, and fires an arrow right at Embryo and his Ragna-Mail, who skillfully dodges the attack. Embryo says, with a wicked smile, “I believe that this is a ‘private matter’.” Embryo seems to vanish and his Ragna-Mail, Hysterica, attacks Sailor Orion, firing its beam rifle at her in which she dodges and counters with her arrows. Darien’s voice yells out over the communication device, “Orion?!” Sailor Orion says, “I can’t help. Embryo has engaged me in his Ragna-Mail. My hands are tied.” Darien responds, “Understood, Orion. We’re on our way.” Sailor Orion continues to fight against Hysterica in which she dodges the shots from its beam rifle while firing back with her arrows in which the Ragna-Mail gracefully dodges causing Sailor Orion to give an annoyed look while remaining focused on battling her opponent. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Yuuki residence Back inside of the Yuuki residence, Asuna is within her room and looking out the window in which she is thinking about something. Flashback; The previous day Inside of Asuna’s room, Kazuto and Asuna have just finished the discussing about what’s going on recently after her memories got stolen and Kazuto finding out how much the memory loss goes. Asuna tells Kazuto, “Kirito-kun?” Kazuto tells Asuna, “Yes?” Asuna tells Kazuto, “I’m a Sailor Scout, too, so, maybe…” Kazuto tells Asuna, making her look at him in the eyes, “Asuna, normally, I would agree, but finding out how extensive your memory loss is, I don’t want to put you in anymore danger. And before you say anything, I’m always reluctantly to put Sugu in anymore danger, but she is a Sailor Scouts and right now, she is at ‘full strength’. I can trust that she will be okay despite what happened. However, I’m afraid for you since a good chunk of memories have been taken from you. I don’t know how extensive the ‘damage’ from the Augma is. I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything happened to you if I knew that you weren’t at your best, Asuna. I doubt that Serena and Yui-chan would forgive me either. Please leave this to the rest of us. Like Klein, you need to safe.” Asuna wanted to protest, but the look in Kazuto’s eyes and a tinge of fear in her mind causes Asuna not to protect as well as just nod in agreement with Kazuto. Kazuto smiles warmly, and he says, “Thank you, Asuna. All of us will get your memories back, that’s for certain.” Asuna tells Kazuto, with a warm smile, “Promise me that you will be careful.” Kazuto says, with a warm smile, “I’ll try my best.” End Flashback; Return to the Present Back in the present, Asuna looks at her new Sailor Scout broach and she then looks outside of her window causing her to think, “Kirito-kun…” April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District Back in Odiaba, the five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts are deep in combat with the Diamond Rose Knight, who are matching them move for move, in which we move to the battle with Salia against Sailor Celestial with Salia’s spear clashes with Sailor Celestial’s swords. The two of them fight intensely before Sailor Celestial freeze in her tracks as a ‘psychic scream’ blasts through her mind. Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “What the heck?!” Salia, not knowing why Sailor Celestial stopped, uses this chance, and fires a beam of energy from her spear that slams into Sailor Celestial causing her to be sent flying. Sailor Moon yells out, seeing this and with a worried voice, “Celestial!” Sailor Celestial slams into the side of a parked car with such force that the side of the car caves in from the sheer force of the impact. Sailor Moon turns towards Sailor Celestial, but she is bound in Chris’ chain. Chris says, with a smirk, “You should worry about yourself, princess.” Sailor Moon yelps as she is dragged to the ground by Chris where she hits the ground with a nasty ‘thud’. Back with Sailor Celestial, she stumbles forward and shakes her head as she struggles to recover from Salia’s attack and the ‘mental attack’. Sailor Celestial’s ‘danger sense’ goes off and she leaps into the air as Salia impales the spear into the car that Sailor Celestial was just knocked into and Sailor Celestial creates a shockwave of wind with her swords that knocks Salia to the ground, but before Sailor Celestial could continue her counterattack, another ‘psychic scream’ causes her to freeze in her tracks. Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “What…is going on here?!” Sailor Celestial holds her head in pain and seeing her chance, again, Salia attacks with another beam from her new spear, but before the attack could hit, a ‘blur’ appears to get Sailor Celestial out of the way. Salia asks, confused, “What?!” Salia then looks to see a huge flying Digimon that’s similar to MetalGreymon, but it has metal jet wings on its, its chest plate is red, and its left cybernetic arm is more like six-shot revolver in design. Sailor Celestial says, with a weak tone, “Thanks, RizeGreymon.” The Digimon responds, “No problem, boss.” (Digimon Analyzer, Sailor Celestial’s voice) “RizeGreymon is an Ultimate Cyborg Digimon, he is similar to MetalGreymon, but while MetalGreymon is made for attack and defense, RizeGreymon is made for attack and SPEED! He has high-speed jets that rocket him at speeds around supersonic and his Trident Revolver can blast his opponents into oblivion!” RizeGreymon asks, “Boss, what’s going on?” Sailor Celestial says, shaking her head, “I’ve got no freaking idea. It feels like someone is screaming in my head.” RizeGreymon asks, “Screaming in your head?” Sailor Celestial says, with a winch, “Later, buddy. Right now…Look out!” RizeGreymon then looks to see Salia attacking with her spear, but RizeGreymon manages to dodge out of the way. Salia says, “Should have known that you would cheat!” Sailor Celestial retorts, “Cheat?! That’s laughable coming from you!” Just then a familiar female voice shouts out, “Got that right!” Salia then dodges a shot from a laser weapon and everyone looks to see Ange, riding Villkiss in Destroy Mode, flying over. Salia yells out, annoyed, “Ange!” Ange says, “That getup is even more ridiculous on you that those stupid cosplay that you wore.” Salia gives a beet red blush on her cheeks and Sailor Celestial asks, “Cosplay?” Ange says, with a grin, “Salia is more ‘girly’ than you think.” Salia yells out, angrily, “That does it, Ange! I’m going to make you shut up for good!” Ange says, strongly, “Just try it! If you think that you can mimic this Suguha and her friends, think again! Your version of their powers is just plain pathetic, but then again, second-rate and second-best. You were always behind me and our Suguha, Salia.” Salia shouts out, angrily, “I’ve had enough of you, Ange!” Salia fires a beam of from her spear, but Ange and Villkiss easily manage to dodge the attacks. Sailor Celestial says, “I’ve got to get back…Argh!” Sailor Celestial holds her head in pain and RizeGreymon asks, worriedly, “Boss, are you okay?” Sailor Celestial grunts out, “Do I…look okay…buddy…?!” Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “What is with this pain?!” Just then an image of [Suguha] blasts into Sailor Celestial’s mind and Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “My counterpart…what are they…doing to her…?!” April 29, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters Back within UNI-SHOCKER, we return to the lab that [Suguha] is being kept in and we find her still entrapped in the glass cylinder in which it is full of some kind of gas while there is an Augma attached to the left side of her head causing her to scream out in pain and agony as Professor Shigemura and Eiji are watching. Eiji asks, “Are you sure about this?” Professor Shigemura says, “I take no pleasure in this at all. I hate this, but to bring out her powers, we are going to need to use drastic measures.” Eiji asks, “So, this gas is supposed to force her?” Professor Shigemura says, “No, it is help open her mind while preventing physical damage to her brain from any trauma due to the memories that we are unlocking.” Eiji asks, “Didn’t Embryo take most of her memories?” Professor Shigemura says, with a nod, “True, but the rest of her memories are locked away. And her powers are also locked due to what happened, like a defensive mechanism, but if we unlock those remaining memories, we might bypass her power’s defenses.” Eiji says, with a nod, “I see.” [Suguha] screams out as images bombard her mind as her remaining memories are being ‘unlocked’ and she is being forced to see them. [Suguha] thinks in her mind, fearfully, “No! No! Please stop! Please stop! Don’t make me see them again!” [Suguha] then sees images of the start of SAO, what looks like Kazuto on a hospital bed and a NervGear attached to his head, and, the most horrifying image of all, a group of doctors frantically trying to save a person as a NervGear is killing them. But then there is an image of a male person in a Knights of Blood Oath uniform shattering into pieces and [Suguha] gives out a huge scream as the sigil of Sailor Celestial appears on her forehead causing her to be bathed in rainbow light. Eiji asks, stunned, “What the…?!” But then there is a huge explosion within the cylinder as it shatters apart and smoke and dust fill the room causing alarms to blare out in which a lot of UNI-SHOCKER Combatmen rush into the room. Professor Shigemura emerges from the smoke and dust and he asks, concerned, “What happened?!” Just then from the smoke and dust of the ‘container’ entrapped [Suguha], someone that looks like Valkyrie Sailor Celestial emerges from smoke and dust and collapses to the floor on her knees. Eiji says, “She…” Professor Shigemura says, with a nod, “It worked.” The Combatmen approached [Valkyrie Sailor Celestial], but her eyes open, showing that they are blank, in which she lashes out on instinct and cutting down the Combatmen with ease. Eiji yells out, shocked, “Such power!” [Sailor Celestial] then turns towards Eiji and Professor Shigemura and prepares to attack them in which Eiji shouts out, fearfully, “Professor!” When [Sailor Celestial] leaps in to attack, Professor Shigemura shouts out, “Activate restraints! Shigemura M-One!” Just then, out of the walls, energy beams come out and restrain [Sailor Celestial] in which she struggles against them. Eiji says, with a sigh, “Good…” But then [Sailor Celestial] breaks the restraints and has Eiji by the throat. Professor Shigemura yells out, “No!” But then [Sailor Celestial] screams out in pain as she gets hit by Kamen Rider Terra and she collapses to the floor in heap as Professor Shigemura goes over to put a band around her right arm. Kamen Rider Terra says, “You had better be glad that I was still preparing to leave when those alarms went off.” Professor Shigemura says, “That band will keep her in her transformed state.” Kamen Rider Terra says, “You had better make sure that she remains unconscious as well.” Professor Shigemura says, with a plain tone, “Agreed.” Eiji says, “We, now, have what we need to proceed to the final phase.” Professor Shigemura says, walking to one area on the room, “Yes, Eiji, we do at last.” Professor Shigemura than stops at a cytogenetic stasis tube where there is a female figure inside and Professor Shigemura says, “Yuuna…” Kamen Rider Terra says, “Remember, Shigemura-san. You get what you want and we get what we want.” Professor Shigemura says, “We remember.” Eiji says, “Anyway for Yuuna.” Kamen Rider Terra nods his head and he responds, “Just remember that her new life is also in our hands as much as yours.” Kamen Rider Terra walks away and when he is gone, Eiji gives an annoyed frown. Professor Shigemura says, “Easy, Eiji. Do not concern yourself with him. Not when we are so close.” Eiji says, “Right, Shigemura-dono. Right now, I have to be ready for the Black Swordsman, the White Valkyrie, and all of their friends. They will do their best to stop us.” Professor Shigemura says, “Of course.” As Eiji starts to walk away, Professor Shigemura looks down at the cytogenetic stasis tube with a plain expression on his face. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District Back in Odiaba, the battle against the newly empowered Diamond Rose Knights, our Valkyrie Sailor Scouts, and now, Ange continues on with Ange, within Villkiss, is fighting Salia, but then Embryo, standing on his Ragna-Mail, Hysterica, teleports in as Sailor Orion flies in as well as Tuxedo Mask and the rest of the Sailor Scouts also fly in. Embryo says, “My dear knights, I’m sorry to pull you away after you are doing so well, but we need to withdraw for now.” The Diamond Rose Knights are confused and Chris asks, “But why, Master Embryo?” Embryo responds, “There has been a ‘complication’.” Salia asks, confused, “Complication?” Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, my dear Salia. I’m sorry, but we must withdraw to allow me to discuss it with you. Any distraction will cost you, darling Salia.” Salia says, with a nod, “As you wish, Master Embryo.” Salia yells out, strongly, “Let’s go!” All of the Diamond Rose Knight fly off to assemble by Embryo. Ange shouts out, “Running away!” Salia responds, “As if, Ange!” Salia says, gripping her armored hand, “You see this new power? We have mastered it and we are more than a match for your new friends now! Next time, you won’t be so lucky!” Soon after, Embryo and the Diamond Rose Knights teleport away. Sailor Venus asks, “What was that all about?” Sailor Orion says, “They were doing quite well.” Sailor Mars says, annoyed, “Tell me about it, Orion.” Sailor Mercury says, with her computer out, “I think that I know why they left.” Everyone else looks at Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter asks, “What is it, Mercury?” Sailor Mercury says, “There was a massive power surge at UNI-SHOCKER headquarters.” Sailor Uranus asks, “A massive ‘power surge’?” Sailor Nebula asks Sailor Mercury, concerned, “Oh no. Mercury, you don’t mean…?” Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, “The energy signature of the ‘surge’ matched Sailor Celestial’s energy signature.” There are gasps and Sailor Celestial asks, surprised, “Me?” Tuxedo Mask says, in realization, “They must have somehow forced Celestial’s counterpart to reawaken her powers!” There are looks of shock and Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “I believe that’s a valid statement. During the fight, I sensed a power ‘disruption’ in space and time and it could have only been made by someone like Celestial herself.” Sailor Uranus says, “That means that Shigemura and Eiji have the final piece of their plan to attempt to revive Yuuna-san.” Tuxedo Mask says, “It means that they will be fully committed to their plans for the concert tonight.” Sailor Moon says, concerned, “Oh no!” Sailor Sun asks, “What can we do?” Sailor Celestial says, “We need to make our move and now.” RizeGreymon asks, “Are you going to be okay, boss?” Sailor Celestial responds, “I am now, RizeGreymon. That ‘screaming’ that I heard must have been my counterpart when they were forcibly reawakening her powers.” Sailor Celestial holds her head and Sailor Moon asks, “Are you sure?” Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Yeah, I’m okay now. We need to hurry.” Ange says, with a nod, “No damn kidding.” The others can’t help to nod their heads in agreement as they plan to push their plans forward. April 29, 2026, Tokyo Within their current ‘headquarters’, Embryo and the Diamond Rose Knights are also discussing the same subject. Ersha asks, “So, they forced our Suguha to awaken her powers?” Embryo says, with a nod, “I believe so, my darling Ersha.” Chris asks, “So, what do we do now, Master Embryo?” Salia says, “I say that we make them pay! We have mastered our new powers!” Embryo tells Salia, “I love your attitude, my dear Salia. However, we can’t just be going rushing in there. They have much experience from various world and I had managed to acquire these artifacts from them, so, it would be good to remember that they may have ways to counter them.” Salia says, with a sigh, “Yes, you are right, Master Embryo.” Embryo tells Salia, with a smile, “Don’t worry, Salia. I’m not saying that they won’t pay for their betrayal, but we need to plan accordingly.” Salia asks Embryo, “Do you have a plan Master Embryo?” Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, I do. I will need your complete trust from all of you, my lovely ladies.” Salia says, “You saved us and gave us purpose, Master Embryo. Of course we trust you.” The other Diamond Rose Knights nod their heads in agreement and Embryo says, with a smile, “Thank you. Please follow me.” Embryo then heads off and the Diamond Rose Knights follow him to prepare for whatever plans that Embryo has. End Scene 14 Things are now coming to ahead since Suguha’s counterpart has been forced to ‘reawaken’ as her version of Sailor Celestial and it looks like the Diamond Rose Knight have gained their own powers to rival the Valkyrie level Sailor Scouts. With Professor Shigemura’s and UNI-SHOCKER’s plans and yes, I said PLANS and not PLAN, coming to ahead, our group has a lot of work to do. What does Embryo have in his sleeve next? You are going to have to read to find out! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
Hilda tells Suguha, “Well, powers that our Suguha can’t seem to access since Embryo left her nearly a blank slate.” Rosalie says, “No joke. And you said that guy just took a chunk of her memories.” Davis says, “Yeah, but not all of them.” Tai says, “That’s a good point. A good chuck of her memories is suppressed and not taken.” Hotaru asks, nervously, “Are you saying that they might force her memories to be unlocked to try to unlock her powers?” [Sammy] says, “I wouldn’t put anything behind those guys.” Salamandinay says, “I have to agree. If they would ally with someone like Embryo, even if temporary, they might be capable of anything.” Darien says, “I’ve got to agree with Salamandinay through for different reasons.” Amara asks Ami, “Do we know what information was taken from Sammy?” Ami says, “I’m not exactly certain.” Kazuto says, “However, I’ve got a feeling that it has to do with Sword Art Online. It is the only possible theory that I can think of.” Kotone asks, “But what could Kayaba have put in Sammy that’s from SAO?” Kazuto says, “Anything and everything, Kotone.” End Flashback; Return to the Present As Asuna comes back into her room with a tray that has two cups of tea and some snack cakes in which she sets them on the table nearby. Asuna asks, “How is Sammy?” Kazuto says, “He is doing okay. It seems like the ‘data download’ didn’t damage his brain at all, but Ami, Izzy, and Darien are making sure.” Asuna says, “I’m glad that Suguha-chan is safe, but I’m worried for her counterpart.” Kazuto says, with a nod, “Same here, Asuna. Salamandinay and Darien have a good point. They want the power of Etherion and they will do whatever to get it for their goals.” Asuna says, “Oh no.” Kazuto says, “We’re working on another plan to get into UNI-SHOCKER, but after the successful raid last time, they are going to be better prepared. Ami already has detected new sensors and fields surrounding their headquarters.” Asuna says, “I see.” Kazuto asks Asuna, concerned, “How are you doing Asuna?” Asuna replies, with a kind smile, “I’m okay, Kirito-kun.” Asuna says, with a smile, “I forgot something. Hold on, Kirito-kun.” Asuna then heads off to get something and Kazuto looks at Asuna, concerned, in which he looks around her room while making sure that he isn’t doing anything inappropriate. However, he then sees a dairy and looks inside of it in which his eyes widen as he looks at what is written. When Asuna reenters the room, she gasps in shock to see Kazuto looking at her dairy. She puts down the stuff that she brought in by the table and she says, annoyed, “Kirito-kun, how could you do that? Looking at…!!” However, Asuna is yelped as Kazuto hugs her and tackling her to the bed in which Asuna sees the look of GREAT concern in Kazuto’s eyes. Kazuto tells Asuna, “I didn’t know…” Asuna, sighs, knowing what Kazuto is talking about and Asuna tells Kazuto, with a weak smile, “I didn’t want to worry you more with Suguha-chan being captured and other things.” Kazuto tells Asuna, “I’ll get your memories back, Asuna. We, all, will make sure of that.” Asuna says, with a smile, “I know, Kirito-kun.” Asuna then blushes and she tells Kazuto, “Maybe you could let me go, Kirito-kun. My parents aren’t in, but…” Kazuto then realizes the ‘position’ that they were in, he blushes like mad, and he leaps off Asuna on the double. Kazuto says, nervously, “I’m sorry, Asuna! I…It was just…!!” Asuna gets to her feet and she says, with a smile, “It’s okay, Kirito-kun. I can understand that you are really worried about me.” Kazuto tells Asuna, “As I said, I’ll get your memories back, Asuna.” Asuna says, with a grin, “I know that you and the others will, Kirito-kun. You and Serena-chan have never let me down before.” Kazuto says, “I just hope that Serena is okay.” Asuna tells Kazuto, “Did something happen Kirito-kun?” Kazuto tells Asuna, “I’ll tell you everything that happened while you were ‘out’ due to what happened to you.” Asuna nods her head and she listens to Kazuto about what has happened ever since she got her SAO memories taken away in which she has a ‘bad feeling’. April 28, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District Within the Juuban District of Tokyo, we find ourselves within apartment complex where the apartment home of both Darien Shields and Serena Tsukino AKA Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Moon where we find Darien sleeping in his bed, but he then slowly awakens as he is moaning and groan in which he looks over to see Serena rolling and tossing in her sleep with her sweating a lot. Darien asks, concerned, “Serena?” Serena doesn’t respond as she is moaning and groaning in which he says, concerned while gently shaking her, “Serena? Serena?!” Serena then yelps out as she wakes up with a start and she looks at Darien with flushed cheeks in which he asks, concerned, “What’s wrong?” Serena responds, her face flush, “I don’t…I don’t know…I’m burning up inside…I’m so hot…!!” Darien puts his hand to Serena’s forehead and he says, “You don’t seem to have a fever…” He then yelps as Serena tackles him to the bed and she molds her body, clad in a nightgown, against his body causing him to ask, stunned and a bit flush forms in his cheeks, “What’s gotten into you, Meatball Head?” Serena tells Darien, “I’m sorry, Darien-kun, but I…I…” Serena then passionate and intensely kisses Darien on the lips and he then remembers what happened to Serena when she was captured by Embryo. Darien thinks in his mind, “Could this be some kind of aftereffect of the torture that sick fiend, Embryo, put her and Ange through?” When Serena breaks off the kiss, Darien tells Serena, “Serena, you might be suffering from some kind of aftereffect of the torture that Embryo put you through.” Serena moans out, “I…I think…that you are right…but I…I can’t stop myself…Ooh, hold me…hold me…!!” Serena then starts to nibble on Darien’s left ear and then kisses his neck causing him to get flush and he can’t help to mentally sigh as he gently hugs Serena in which she then brings him into another deep and passionate kiss causing him to return the kiss hoping that his beloved will be okay, but he also feels helpless since he feels that he can’t protect the princess that he loves so much. April 28, 2026, Tokyo, Kirigaya household Inside of the Kirigaya household, Suguha is sleeping in her own bed and she is also tossing and turning before she wakes up with a gasp. Trivia, her Lunarian feline advisor, asks her, “Is something wrong, princess?” Suguha responds, “I’m fine, Trivia. Just…Just had a bad dream.” Trivia responds, narrowing her eyes, “You have been plenty of those during the recent month.” Suguha asks Trivia, “Can you really blame me with all the adventures that we had?” Trivia says, “While there are possibly situations that could cause the induction of ‘bad dreams’, I don’t think that the ‘dreams’ should happen the majority of this whole month.” Suguha tells Trivia, annoyed, “Do you know how annoying you really are?” Trivia says, with a smile, “You keep telling me that every day, my princess.” Suguha gives a groan as she gets up showing that she is wearing just a long shirt over her undergarments in which she heads to the bathroom where she splashes water over her face. Suguha thinks in her mind, “What the heck? What is up with these weird dreams and nightmares? Serena and I facing a…a creature that looks like a villain from one of those American manga, I’m trapped in SAO with a guy and changing what happened there, and four weirdos that look similar to me as Sailor Celestial? And what’s weirder, they don’t feel like ‘dreams’. They felt all too real especially me facing that…creature.” Suguha puts her hand over her heart and she thinks in her mind, shaking her head, “I can’t think about stupid dreams right now. My counterpart is counting on all of us and plus, Yuuna-san and her AI counterpart needs us to stop his dad and Eiji from doing something that sounds as horrible as SAO. And I’ve got a bad feeling that Yuuna-san’s AI ‘sister’ wasn’t exaggerating when she said this. It has to do with the memory loss that Asuna and the other SAO survivors that ‘lost’ in Ordinal Scale have experienced.” Suguha uses a towel to wipe her hair and face and prepares to head back to bed knowing that she needs all the rest that she can for tomorrow. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Touto Institute of Technology Inside of the Touto Institute of Technology, Professor Tetsuhiro Shigemura, the creator of Augma and Ordinal Scale, is giving a group of people a lecture on the advantages of Augmented Reality to Virtual Reality. In crowd, there is a young lady with short blond hair, brown eyes with circular glasses in front of those brown eyes, and wearing a blue business style female outfit. There is also a young man with well-combed short brown hair, blue eyes with glasses in front of his eyes, and wearing a brown business style male suit. Elsewhere within the building, we are coming to the office of Professor Shigemura where it is quiet and then Tuxedo Mask, Kamen Rider Lunar, and Kazuto appear within the room. Tuxedo Mask says, “Here we are.” Kazuto says, “It seems like the ‘cloaking device’ still works here.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “I don’t think that they doubt that we wouldn’t come here, but they are mainly focused on their headquarters due to Suguha’s escape and our raid in it.” Tuxedo Mask asks Kamen Rider Lunar, “But what makes you think that we will find something here?” Kazuto says, “I think we can.” Tuxedo Mask asks, “What?” Kazuto says, “The reason behind Eiji’s power in Ordinal Scale.” Tuxedo Mask asks, “You think that his abilities in Ordinal Scale aren’t ‘natural’?” Kazuto says, “Something about him feels really off, Darien.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “You have a good idea to suspect that. If they want to extract memories from the SAO survivors for their plans, I don’t think that they will rely on the SAO bosses alone.” Kazuto says, with a nod of his head, “I agree. Eiji needs to be the best if he is going to defeat SAO survivors to allow the Augma to take their memories.” The three of them look around and they find a picture of Yuuna in which Kamen Rider Lunar says, “That’s her.” Kazuto says, looking at the picture, “Yuuna-san. Professor Shigemura-san’s daughter.” Tuxedo Mask says, “What Professor Shigemura is doing is wrong, but he is doing what he is doing out of love.” Kazuto says, with a nod, “And I also think guilt too. Kayaba was his student and he was the one that gave Eiji and Yuuna the NervGear and game cartridges that got them trapped in SAO with Yuuna-san losing her life.” Tuxedo Mask says, “And I think that it is the same for Eiji: Love and guilt.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “And I also think a bit of revenge. Your Meatball Head did everything in her power to save her while trapped in there, but he still hates her for not saving her.” Kazuto says, “She is Sailor Moon, but Serena is still only human and she did whatever she could to save her.” Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “I fully agree, Kazuto. However, Eiji doesn’t see it that way.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “The ass just needed someone to blame.” Kazuto says, “I don’t think that’s completely the case with Eiji.” Kamen Rider Lunar asks Kazuto, “What do you mean by that?” Kazuto says, “Something just tells me that he is just ‘sharing the blame’. He blames Serena and himself. Remember the story back in SAO when Eiji was Nautilus of the Knights of the Blood Oath? I think that he felt that his ‘problem’ was just plain cowardice in his mind because he couldn’t save the person that was most precious to him.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “And what if he told Asuna that story that he told his legs couldn’t move despite him telling to move in order to his shame of his freezing during a fight? He could have just froze.” Kazuto says, with a nod, “That could be true. I’m not saying this to lessen his ‘crime’ in this, but when Serena spoke about him when she was trying to rescue Eiji, Yuuna, and all of the players with them, Eiji, as Nautilus, seem to want to move, but his legs wouldn’t move at all. FNC with the NervGear and other Full-Dive devices aren’t unusual and different forms of FNC aren’t strange either.” Kazuto says, with a serious tone, “But right now, we aren’t here to judge his actions in his past. We are here to prevent him and Professor Shigemura-san from committing an act that rivaled the one that took Yuuna-san’s life and left her trapped as a ‘digital existence’.” Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Right.” They continue on looking around and when they open a drawer, they find a strange device in which Kazuto takes a look at it. Kamen Rider Lunar asks, “Did you find something?” Kazuto says, plainly, “I might have.” When Kazuto takes out the device, Tuxedo Mask asks, seeing, “What is it?” Kazuto says, “It could be nothing.” Kazuto focuses his mind and he remembers about seeing a ‘glow’ from the back of Eiji’s neck. Kamen Rider Lunar says, “Form the way that you are reacting, I don’t think that’s nothing.” Kazuto says, “Let’s get Izzy and Ami to examine this.” Tuxedo Mask says, “Okay.” The three of them continue to examine the office, but they don’t find anything that they are looking for. Kazuto asks, “Anything?” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “Nothing.” Tuxedo Mask says, after shutting down the computer in the room, “Nothing. He made sure not to put anything that would clue us in.” Kamen Rider Lunar says, “Most likely, he kept the ‘important stuff’ at UNI-SHOCKER headquarters.” Kazuto says, “Let’s go.” Tuxedo Mask says, with a nod, “Right.” Soon after, the three of them get together and they seem to vanish leaving the room exactly as they left it in which when Professor Shigemura enters the room shortly after Kazuto, Kamen Rider Lunar, and Tuxedo Mask ‘vanish’, he doesn’t see anything out of place, but for a second, he gets a feeling that something is ‘off’, however, he ignores it for the time being as he goes over to his desk and looks at the picture of Yuuna, his daughter, with an intense stare. Professor Shigemura thinks in his mind, “Soon, Yuuna…Soon…” April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Juuban District Right now, somewhere within Juuban, Tusk, Vivian, Ange, Rosalie, and Hilda are assembled together and all of them are wearing regular clothing to bend in with the people in the city. Tusk asks Ange, “Are you sure that you are okay, Ange?” Ange responds, with a sigh, “I told you that I’m just fine, Tusk.” Tusk says, “I’m just concerned for you, Ange.” Ange says, “I know, Tusk.” Hilda says, looking all over Juuban, “Man! How can these people build so big? They must get headaches!” Rosalie says, with a nod, “No kidding!” Ange says, “Don’t stare too much. We are trying to bend in.” Hilda says, with a smirk, “It isn’t like it is that hard, princess. No one has Mana, so, we’re like one of the crowd.” Rosalie says, looking around, “This feels kind of weird.” Ange tells Rosalie, “What’s so weird about it?” Rosalie tells Ange, “You don’t know since your parents hid it until you were exposed by that jackass of a brother of yours, but you never knew what it meant to be so different from the rest of society.”
Ange says, “Well, you don’t have to worry about that since our ‘society’ will be going down the gutter.” Hilda asks, with a grin, “Still thinking that you can do it, huh, princess?” Ange responds, with a smirk, “I know that I can, Hilda.” Hilda says, with a grin, “That’s good to know.” Tusk says, “It looks all so peaceful.” Vivian says, “Yeah! Despite all of the ‘monster attacks’, they don’t seem too ‘on guard’ for it!” Ange says, “Well, they have gotten used to it, Vivian.” Rosalie says, shaking her head, “This is one weird world.” Hilda says, “No joke.” Rosalie asks, “And our Suguha come from a world like this?” Tusk says, with a nod, “That’s right. Remember the Suguha that we know is just a different version that we know. From what her counterpart on this Earth and her friends and family can tell us, she is pretty much the same with the same powers.” Hilda says, “So, our Suguha comes from a place like this? It makes you wonder.” Rosalie says, looking into a store, “This stuff is really something else. Plenty of it is better than the best stuff that we can get at Arzenal.” Just then a familiar female voice says, “It is, isn’t it? Quite a wonderful place.” The group gasps and they turn in which they see Salia and the Diamond Rose Knights, dressed in regular civilian clothing, walking out in front of them. Ange says, with a glare, “Salia.” Salia says, “Hello, Ange.” Ange says, “You have got a lot of nerve to face us, Salia.” Salia says, with a sly smirk, “And you have got a lot of nerve to come out into the open with your precious new friends, Ange.” Ange says, with a smirk, “Ha! We can take care of you and ridiculous Diamond Rose Losers without them with one hand tied behind our backs!” Irma says, annoyed, “Really? You don’t have anything to protect you!” Ange retorts, with a grin, “Really? In this world, you can’t run around with a gun unless you want to be arrested, but there are other ways to defend ourselves. Would you like to try?” Irma snarls at Ange and Salia says, “Easy, Irma. You get pissed off at Ange and you fall right into her trap.” Tusk asks, seriously, “What do you want Salia?” Salia responds, “We’re issuing a challenge to your new friends. They are going to face us in a fight and to make things a bit fairer, we’re not going to use our Ragna-Mails.” There are surprised looks and Vivian asks, curiously, “Seriously?” Hilda responds, “Yeah, right! Did they knock those screws in your head completely loose? You remember how powerful they are? And they are only getting stronger!” Chris says, “They may be powerful, but they are nothing against Master Embryo.” Ange asks, with a stern tone, “And why should we give them that challenge in the first place?” Salia tells Ange, “Seriously, Ange?” Ange asks, seriously, “What’s that supposed to mean Salia?” Chris tells Ange, “Did you forget the power of Master Embryo, Ange? I thought that you would have learned your lesson by now.” Ange says, “I’m not afraid of his tricks.” Salia tells Ange, “There is more to Master Embryo’s power than just tricks.” Ange says, “Well, I’m still not impressed.” Rosalie steps forward and Chris asks, annoyed, “What do you want?” Rosalie tells Chris, “Chris, please don’t do this.” Chris asks, annoyed, “Is that all you have to say?” Hilda asks, “Can’t you see that he is just using you?” Chris yells out, angrily, “Master Embryo isn’t using me! He is a true friend unlike you! You left me to die!” Rosalie says, “No! I didn’t want to leave you! I wanted to go back for you!” Chris says, angrily, “Like I believe you. Master Embryo truly cares about me unlike you. You just used me like a toy.” Rosalie says, protesting, “That’s not true!” Chris says, “Oh, really? You don’t remember when we were younger. When Hilda said that she didn’t want me wear my hair in pigtails for example.” Hilda gives a nervous look at that and Chris says, with a nasty glare, “You just didn’t want someone else to have pigtails like you. You didn’t care for my feelings and you never did.” Hilda says, nervously, “Come on, we were just goofy kids…” Chris yells out, angrily, “Shut up!” Hilda and Rosalie flinch from that and Chris says, “Master Embryo cares about who I am and who I want to be unlike you. He is my true friend and my only friend.” Rosalie says, plainly, “Chris…” Ange says, plainly, “Okay, enough with the drama. You haven’t proven to me why I should even bother them with you.” Salia takes out a piece of paper, throws to Ange, who catches it, and Salia says, with a grin, “Give this to them and they will understand.” Soon after, Salia and the rest of the Diamond Rose Knight vanish through a form of teleportation. Tusk asks, confused, “How…?” Vivian replies, “Answer: You got me!” Rosalie says, solemnly, “Chris…” Tusk asks Ange, “So, what’s that they gave you?” Ange says, “Let’s give it to the others and see if they make heads or tails of it.” April 29, 2026, Moon Kingdom Within the Moon Kingdom, our ‘main cast’, including our heroes and heroines, are assembled together with everyone from Ange’s Earth in which they are looking at the picture of the Moon Kingdom with Embryo on it. Lita asks, “How did the heck did he get here?” Mina says, “It has to be some kind of photoshop edit.” Amara says, “It might be.” Darien asks, with a serious tone, “But knowing Embryo’s powers, can we take the risk?” Yolei says, “You know that this is a trap.” Raye says, with a nod, “That’s quite obvious, Yolei.” Hotaru says, “Plus, Yuna-san’s concert is tonight and most likely, it is a trap for all those SAO survivors playing Ordinal Scale.” Kazuto asks Ami, “You have any idea on breaking the tablet?” Ami says, “Well, I…” Ami then asks, eyes widening, “Hold on, what’s this?” Everyone looks at Ami and she is typing on a holographic keyboard in which she says, “Where did this come from? I don’t understand…” Serena asks Ami, “What’s wrong, Ami-chan?” Ami says, “Someone managed to hack into this server.” There are multiple gasps and Joe asks, surprised, “Huh? But this is a computer system for a hidden kingdom on the MOON! How could anyone hack into this computer system?” Darien asks Ami, seriously, “Can you track it?” Ami says, shaking her head, “No. The ‘hack’ was only around for a few seconds. Enough to download…” Ami says, her eyes widen, “Wait! This is it!” Mina asks, confused, “What’s it?” Ami says, “I just found the way to gain access to the information on the tablet! The data file sent here just contained the solution.” Izzy says, amazed, “Ami’s right! It contains what we need to break the ‘firewalls’ on the files!” Tai asks, suspiciously, “Okay, someone just gave us the information to unlock this?” Matt says, with a nod, “And they just able to hack into a computer system not connected to Earth’s network and hidden here on the moon? I get where you are going, Tai, and I agree.” Amara says, nodding her head, “Same here.” Rika says, nodding her head, “Ditto.” Darien says, “I have to agree that’s suspicious.” Kazuto says, “You should run a diagnostic scan to make sure that none of the computers have been ‘invaded’.” Izzy says, with a nod, “Good idea.” Ami nods her head in agreement and the two of them make sure that there isn’t anything that could ‘invade’ their computer systems. When they are done, Ami says, “Everything clears out.” Ken says, “I still don’t like it.” Tai tells Ken, “A lot of us can agree with you, Ken. There are quite a few times when Izzy got something ‘helpful’ from an unexpected source and it bit us in the butt.” Ami says, “I have to agree that this is highly suspicious, but this is our best bet to discover the secrets of the Augma.” Serena tells Ami, “Do it.” Plenty of the others look at Serena in surprise and Raye says, “Hey! Whoa, Meatball Head!” Serena says, with a sigh, “What choice do we have? We, all, have a bad feeling about the Augma, but we haven’t found a thing.” Kazuto says, “True.” Kazuto asks Ami and Izzy, “But how was your mission to Professor Shigemura’s lecture?” Izzy responds, “When we asked about the dangers of the Augma, Professor Shigemura-san ‘skirted’ over the issue.” Amara says, plainly, “That’s no surprise.” Davis says, “I’ve got to say that what other information do we’ve got right now? We don’t exactly have much in the way of choice.” Kari says, with a nod, “I’ve got to agree with Dai-kun.” TK says, “I don’t like it, but we don’t have many options now.” Plenty of the others nod their heads in agreement and Izzy and Ami then use the information given to them by their ‘mysterious benefactor’. When they are done, Izzy says, “It worked!” Izzy and Ami then look over the data and they gasp in shock and horror. Ami says, horrified, “It can’t be!” Izzy says, looking over the data, “I wish that it wasn’t, but it is!” Kotone asks, concerned, “What’s wrong?” Rika says, “You look like you have seen a ghost or something.” Izzy says, “Close to it. A ‘ghost’ from SAO! The Augma is actually a reengineered NervGear!” There are gasps of shock and horror and Yolei yells out, shocked, “Seriously?!” Kazuto and Serena immediately look over the data and Serena says, horrified, “Oh, Kami…” Kazuto says, seriously, “They’re right! The Augma is a reengineered NervGear with a limiter!” Matt says, “Oh, shit!” Davis says, with a nod, “No kidding, Matt!” Joe says, nodding his head, “This is really bad!” Sora asks, “So, that’s why…?” Darien says, interrupting, “Yes, it is.” Yuuna, in hologram form, says, solemnly, “Oh, daddy…” Kazuto asks Izzy, realizing something, “Izzy, isn’t Yuna supposed to have a big concert tonight?” Izzy says, with a nod, “That’s right.” Darien says, with a plain tone, “It must be a trap to gather as many SAO survivors as possible.” Ami says, concerned, “Oh no!” Mina asks Ami, “What’s wrong, Ami-chan?” Ami says, “To gather so many memories from so many people at once, he would have to perform a high-frequency scan.” Kazuto asks, very concerned, “A high-frequency scan?” Lita says, shocked, “Don’t tell me.” Ami says, with a nod, “A level of what a NervGear did to a person that ‘died’ in SAO.” There are gasps of shock and horror and Yuuna says, with tears in her virtual eyes, “Oh, Kami…daddy…” Serena tells Yuuna, “Yuuna-san, we will make sure that it won’t happen.” Amara says, “However, we also have another set of problems.” Ange says, “Like rescuing our Suguha and the challenge from Salia and the others.” Suguha asks Ange, “How confident were they?” Ange responds, “Very confident.” Tusk says, adding in, “Confident that they didn’t need their Ragna-Mails to beat you.” Yolei says, plainly, “That’s a trap.” Mimi says, nodding her head, “I agree.” Gatomon says, nodding her head, “Ditto.” Tai says, plainly, “They couldn’t make it any more obvious.” Lita says, “Well, they are no longer allies with UNI-SHOCKER. They can’t be that dangerous.” Tusk says, “Anyone associated with Embryo, even if they are being manipulated, are dangerous. You can’t underestimate them.” Ange says, “Tusk has a point. They are a real pain in the ass.” Rosalie asks, annoyed, “So, what do you expect us to do princess?” Ange asks Rosalie, “Really, Rosalie? You really think that we are going to play by Embryo’s rules?” Rosalie and Hilda smirk at this and Amara says, “Hey, hold it!” Ange tells Amara, “Don’t ‘hold it’ to me, Amara! This is much our problem as it is yours! Don’t think that you are going to keep us out of it!” Rosalie says, sternly, “That’s right! Those are our friends being used by that bastard and I’m going to get Chris…Them back!” Hilda says, “Personally, I just want to kick the ass of our world’s so-called ruler.” Ange says, “That’s a surprise, Hilda. For once, we can agree on something.” Hilda tells Ange, with a grin, “Don’t expect it to be a pattern, princess.” Lita asks, “So, what shall we do?” Darien says, “I think that we should take Embryo’s ‘threat’ seriously.” Trista says, with a nod, “Agreed, Darien. However, it is right to say that this is a trap for us. And they wouldn’t perform this tactic if they felt that it wasn’t going to work.” Hotaru asks Trista, “Are you certain Trista?” Trista says, “Embryo has had enough time to study us, our tactics, and our abilities. Plus, he was temporary allied with UNI-SHOCKER who has faced other versions of us before and despite us being stronger versions of the ones that they have faced, we have seen that they have developed weapons to counter our powers.” Amara says, “And it might be a given that Embryo might have taken a few ‘toys’ that they had without permission.” Trista says, with a nod, “Indeed, Amara.” Ami says, “And we have no idea what we are facing.” Shion says, with a nod, “That’s right. That also means that we shouldn’t play by their rules or should I say, play by what they imply.” Lita asks Shion, “What do you mean by that?’ Shion says, with a smirk, “They just told Ange that they are challenging us. They didn’t say that we couldn’t bring anyone to help.” Ange says, with a sly grin, “No, they didn’t.” Amara says, with a wide smirk, “I like where you are going with this.” Shion says, “All’s fair in love and war and this isn’t love. Also, when we are the villains’ fair? However, we aren’t breaking rules and playing by ‘their rules’ since they didn’t say not to bring anyone else to help us.” Mina says, with a grin, “You have got to love loopholes.” Davis says, with a sly smirk, “You know it, girlfriend!” Kazuto says, “But remember, we also have the matter of Yuna’s concert tonight. Based on what we know, he is planning to use it to do a mass scan of all SAO survivors there to revive Yuuna-san as an AI.” Kazuto says, looking at Yuuna in hologram form, “What he doesn’t know is that his daughter has a ‘digital form’ now.” Mina says, with a sigh, “Something tells me that this is going to be a long day.” Lita says, with a nod, “You said it, Mina-chan.” Tai says, “Well, there is also something else bugging me.” Sora asks Tai, “What’s that Tai?” Tai responds, “That message that allowed us to access that information.” Matt says, “You are asking about who sent us the information needed to access it and why they helped us.” Amara says, “That’s a very good question, Matt.” Kazuto says, “A very good question indeed.” Davis says, “But we really don’t have the time to consider it. If they are going to do that mass scan tonight, then we don’t have time.” TK says, with a nod, “Davis is right. There are too many lives in danger.” Darien says, nodding his head, “I’ve got to agree with Davis and TK. There isn’t time to wonder about that.” Suguha says, nodding her head in agreement, “Good point.” Shion says, also nodding her head in agreement, “Same here.” Tai says, with a serious tone, “Then let’s get to work!” The others nod their heads in agreement, but plenty of them can’t help to wonder on who gave them the information needed to unlock Professor Shigemura’s tablet to get them this important information. April 29, 2026, Tokyo Somewhere within Tokyo, we find ourselves at an unknown location where we find a young woman looking at the holographic and regular computer screens. This young woman looks to be around 26 years of age with deep violet hair tied in a bun with chest long bangs, glasses in front of her red eyes, and wearing a tight black skirt with black stockings rimmed with black paisley. She also wears a long-sleeved, classy, white dress shirt which reveals much of her bust; while wearing black camisole underneath. Just then female voice asks, “Suzume-sensei?” The young woman looks back to see a young lady coming towards her. This young lady looks to be 18-19 years of age withblonde hair that is curled at the ends with a large pink bow on top. She wears what resembles pink and white lingerie with white cups, and a diamond shaped opening revealing her cleavage. On her legs and arms are white garments, and she wears thin white bottom with simple pink high heels. On her back is a large white lab coat lined with many different vials filled with hazardous chemicals. The violet haired woman tells the blond-haired woman, “Haruka, how are you?” The blond-haired woman responds, with a sly smile, “I believe that you know the answer to that one Suzume-sensei.” The violet haired woman says, with a nod, “Understandable, Haruka.” The blond-haired woman, Haruka, asks, “Sensei, why are you helping them?” The violet haired woman, Suzume, replies, with a smile, “For our own goals. If these outsiders succeed, we won’t have a chance for our plans.” Haruka asks, “Wouldn’t Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan, and Hinata-chan be enough?” Suzume replies, with a sly smile, “Maybe, but a shinobi must consider all possibilities. Remember, their world is a famous anime and manga in ours, so, while we may have the edge, they can regroup and counter them.” Haruka says, “Maybe or maybe not, Suzume-sensei. While he is famous, Naruto-kun, Sakura-chan, and Hinata-chan are still considered fictional.” Suzume says, “True, but they aren’t stupid, Haruka. Our former school will be keeping a close eye on things especially those of the Sailor Scouts and Digidestined especially with the appearance of Sailor Celestial.” Haruka says, with a sly smile, “I have to admit that girl isn’t half bad.” Suzume says, “Sailor Celestial is a warrior and she is one of the most powerful Sailor Scouts of them all.” Haruka says, “That’s why we need her on our side.” Suzume says, with a nod, “Correct. And we need to make sure that no one else gets their hands on her.” Haruka says, “Especially that pretty boy that pretends to be a kami.” Suzume says, “You see why Naruto-kun hates their kind so much.” Haruka says, with a nod, “Indeed.” Suzume says, “Now, we wait and see.” Haruka and Suzume give wide wicked smiles on their lips. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District Within the Odiaba District, Salia, Chris, Ersha, Irma, and Tanya are waiting in the open. Tanya asks, “Where are they already?” Ersha says, “You think that they won’t come? Our challenge was quite vague.” Salia says, with a plain tone, “They’ll come.” Chris asks, “How can you be so sure?” Just then a female voice booms, “Maybe you should look up.” The Diamond Rose Knights gasp in which they look up to see Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Valkyrie Sailor Celestial, Valkyrie Sailor Sun, Valkyrie Sailor Pluto, and Valkyrie Sailor Mars float down in front of them. Salia asks, “Just the five of you?” Sailor Mars says, “Five is more than enough to take care of you, tools.” Chris says, “Don’t count on it.” Sailor Celestial says, “Doubt it, Chris. Without your Ragna-Mails, you aren’t a real threat. Heck, you aren’t a real threat with them.” Tanya says, with a smirk, “I guess that you are another version of Suguha.” Irma says, “A little too cocky for your own good. Guess you are a princess.” Sailor Celestial says, “One that’s about to give you a royal butt kicking.” Chris says, with a glare, “Just try it.” Sailor Moon asks, “How are you going to defeat us without your Ragna-Mails?” Salia says, with a wide smirk, “This is why.” The Diamond Rose Knights then display five strange weapons including a spear with a blue crystal tip, two swords with crystal-like blades, one sword having a blue blade while the other had a red serrated blade, a chain with two red crystals shaped into arrow-like blades, and a crossbow with an arrow already inside of it with the arrow having a crystal-like tip. Sailor Celestial asks, “What the heck are…?!” Sailor Celestial and Sailor Mars then ‘sense’ something and Sailor Mars says, shocked, “Oh, shit! Those aren’t ordinary weapons!” Just then all five weapons glows along with Salia and her group and when the glow fades away, all five are them are wearing Valkyrie-like armor like those seen on television, movies, and literature. Chris says, amazed, “It worked.” Sailor Sun says, nervously, “Uh oh. This is going to be trouble.” Tanya says, with a grin, “You know it!” Salia says, with a sly smirk, “Guess what? We are ‘Valkyries’ too!” The Diamond Rose Knights glow with power and Sailor Mars says, “This is no joke! They are filled with incredible power!” Chris says, with a sinister sneer, “Payback time.” The five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts are now facing the five Diamond Rose Knights, who now have strange weapons giving them Valkyrie style armor and special powers, in what could be a deadly duel. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters Within UNI-SHOCKER headquarters, [Suguha] is trapped within what looks like a human-sized glass cylinder attached to high-tech equipment in which said equipment are attached to a group of severs where Eiji and Professor Shigemura. [Darien] walks in on them and he asks, “Is everything ready?” Professor Shigemura responds, “Yes, it is.” [Darien] says, “You know what your stake in this is.” Eiji says, “You don’t have to remind us. We will be prepared to do what it takes.” Professor Shigemura says, “As long as we get Yuuna back, we don’t care what you do with this technology.” [Darien] says, “Good.” [Suguha] says, with a plain tone, “If you want to use my powers to get what you want, you are in a big disappoint. And no, I’m not going to claim that I don’t have powers. I know that I do, but they are locked tighter than safe since I don’t remember how to use my powers and they locked themselves away since a huge chunk of my damn memories are missing.” [Darien] says, “We already know that.” [Suguha] says, “Then you should know that pretty boy so-called deity has them in his hands. If you hadn’t betrayed him, you might have gotten them back to unlock my powers.” [Darien] retorts, “Do you think that we are really stupid, brat? We give you your memories and we have two Sailor Celestial instead of one to deal with. And something tells me that you are just as annoying as the one in this world.” [Suguha] responds, with a sly smirk, “You want to find out?” [Darien] says, “You won’t be so cocky when we are done with you.” [Suguha] says, “Too much harm comes to me and you may lose my powers for good.” [Darien] responds, with a wicked smile, “Doesn’t matter. There is a spare in this world.” [Suguha] says, with a sly grin, “Last time that I checked, SHE broke out of this place and made you, guys, look like a bunch of idiots.” [Darien] twitches an eyebrow and he tells Professor Shigemura, “Let’s hurry it up. The less I have to talk with her, the better.” [Suguha] gives a victorious smirk as [Darien] prepares to walk away as a holographic screen appears just above him. The figure on the screen says, “My friend, I think that you might want to see this.” [Darien] then looks to see the holographic screen showing the unfolding battle between the Diamond Rose Knights and five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts which [Darien’s] eyes widen at the armor that the Diamond Rose Knights are wearing. [Darien] says, with a sneer, “It looks like Embryo has been putting his hands on our ‘cookie jar’.” [Darien] says, with a sinister smirk, “I’m going to need to have a ‘talk’ about that.” [Darien] then walks away in which Eiji sneers at him while Professor Shigemura continues his work with [Suguha] gaining a concerned look. Unknown to any of them, within another part of the building, they are being watched by a figure from a holographic screen. The figure says, with a sinister sly tone, “Fools. You will be playing into my hands soon. I will do what not even Kayaba could and untie the virtual and ‘real’ together.” April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District Back in Odiaba District, we find our five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts, Moon, Mars, Pluto, Sun, and Celestial, are facing against the Diamond Rose Knights with their new weapons, powers, and Valkyrie style armor in which Sailor Moon is dodging assault from Chris and her brand-new chain weapon. Chris says, with a sly smirk, “Not so fun when you are the one that’s outmatched.” On the meanwhile, Sailor Celestial and Salia are fighting it out with Salia using her new spear against Sailor Celestial’s two swords. Salia says, with a wicked smile, “While I want to use this to pummel Ange into the ground, you are going to have to do.” Sailor Celestial says, “You are going to have to do better than that, Salia.” Salia says, with a sly smirk, “I intend to!” Salia and Sailor Celestial get into intense combat with Sailor Celestial with Salia’s new spear clashing with Sailor Celestial’s swords with Sailor Mars dodging a lot of different elemental blots from Ersha’s new crossbow. Sailor Pluto dodges a sword swipe from Tanya and she yells out, “You don’t know what kind of powers that you are messing with!” Tanya responds, “We know what we are messing with bitch! You are just scared since the odds are now even!” Tanya slams her sword into the ground creating a massive shockwave that sends all five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts flying into the air, but they easy right themselves and float in the air above them. Irma yells out, excitedly, “Yes, we’ve got them!” Sailor Celestial says, with a serious tone, “We’ve just begun to fight!” Salia says, with a wicked smile, “That’s good. It wouldn’t be much fun if the fight ended too soon.” The Diamond Rose Knight then continue their assault against the five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts in which they seemly don’t know that another Valkyrie Sailor Scout, Sailor Orion, is watching from a distance using her equipment to look at the situation. Sailor Orion says, into a communication piece, “You understand the situation.” Darien’s voice booms, “Understand loud and clear. Now, we can see why those girls challenges us. From what Ami says, their power levels rival theirs.” Sailor Orion asks, “Shall I engage?” But then, a ‘feeling’ comes over Sailor Orion and she leaps into the air, spins around, and fires an arrow right at Embryo and his Ragna-Mail, who skillfully dodges the attack. Embryo says, with a wicked smile, “I believe that this is a ‘private matter’.” Embryo seems to vanish and his Ragna-Mail, Hysterica, attacks Sailor Orion, firing its beam rifle at her in which she dodges and counters with her arrows. Darien’s voice yells out over the communication device, “Orion?!” Sailor Orion says, “I can’t help. Embryo has engaged me in his Ragna-Mail. My hands are tied.” Darien responds, “Understood, Orion. We’re on our way.” Sailor Orion continues to fight against Hysterica in which she dodges the shots from its beam rifle while firing back with her arrows in which the Ragna-Mail gracefully dodges causing Sailor Orion to give an annoyed look while remaining focused on battling her opponent. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Yuuki residence Back inside of the Yuuki residence, Asuna is within her room and looking out the window in which she is thinking about something. Flashback; The previous day Inside of Asuna’s room, Kazuto and Asuna have just finished the discussing about what’s going on recently after her memories got stolen and Kazuto finding out how much the memory loss goes. Asuna tells Kazuto, “Kirito-kun?” Kazuto tells Asuna, “Yes?” Asuna tells Kazuto, “I’m a Sailor Scout, too, so, maybe…” Kazuto tells Asuna, making her look at him in the eyes, “Asuna, normally, I would agree, but finding out how extensive your memory loss is, I don’t want to put you in anymore danger. And before you say anything, I’m always reluctantly to put Sugu in anymore danger, but she is a Sailor Scouts and right now, she is at ‘full strength’. I can trust that she will be okay despite what happened. However, I’m afraid for you since a good chunk of memories have been taken from you. I don’t know how extensive the ‘damage’ from the Augma is. I wouldn’t forgive myself if anything happened to you if I knew that you weren’t at your best, Asuna. I doubt that Serena and Yui-chan would forgive me either. Please leave this to the rest of us. Like Klein, you need to safe.” Asuna wanted to protest, but the look in Kazuto’s eyes and a tinge of fear in her mind causes Asuna not to protect as well as just nod in agreement with Kazuto. Kazuto smiles warmly, and he says, “Thank you, Asuna. All of us will get your memories back, that’s for certain.” Asuna tells Kazuto, with a warm smile, “Promise me that you will be careful.” Kazuto says, with a warm smile, “I’ll try my best.” End Flashback; Return to the Present Back in the present, Asuna looks at her new Sailor Scout broach and she then looks outside of her window causing her to think, “Kirito-kun…” April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District Back in Odiaba, the five Valkyrie Sailor Scouts are deep in combat with the Diamond Rose Knight, who are matching them move for move, in which we move to the battle with Salia against Sailor Celestial with Salia’s spear clashes with Sailor Celestial’s swords. The two of them fight intensely before Sailor Celestial freeze in her tracks as a ‘psychic scream’ blasts through her mind. Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “What the heck?!” Salia, not knowing why Sailor Celestial stopped, uses this chance, and fires a beam of energy from her spear that slams into Sailor Celestial causing her to be sent flying. Sailor Moon yells out, seeing this and with a worried voice, “Celestial!” Sailor Celestial slams into the side of a parked car with such force that the side of the car caves in from the sheer force of the impact. Sailor Moon turns towards Sailor Celestial, but she is bound in Chris’ chain. Chris says, with a smirk, “You should worry about yourself, princess.” Sailor Moon yelps as she is dragged to the ground by Chris where she hits the ground with a nasty ‘thud’. Back with Sailor Celestial, she stumbles forward and shakes her head as she struggles to recover from Salia’s attack and the ‘mental attack’. Sailor Celestial’s ‘danger sense’ goes off and she leaps into the air as Salia impales the spear into the car that Sailor Celestial was just knocked into and Sailor Celestial creates a shockwave of wind with her swords that knocks Salia to the ground, but before Sailor Celestial could continue her counterattack, another ‘psychic scream’ causes her to freeze in her tracks. Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “What…is going on here?!” Sailor Celestial holds her head in pain and seeing her chance, again, Salia attacks with another beam from her new spear, but before the attack could hit, a ‘blur’ appears to get Sailor Celestial out of the way. Salia asks, confused, “What?!” Salia then looks to see a huge flying Digimon that’s similar to MetalGreymon, but it has metal jet wings on its, its chest plate is red, and its left cybernetic arm is more like six-shot revolver in design. Sailor Celestial says, with a weak tone, “Thanks, RizeGreymon.” The Digimon responds, “No problem, boss.” (Digimon Analyzer, Sailor Celestial’s voice) “RizeGreymon is an Ultimate Cyborg Digimon, he is similar to MetalGreymon, but while MetalGreymon is made for attack and defense, RizeGreymon is made for attack and SPEED! He has high-speed jets that rocket him at speeds around supersonic and his Trident Revolver can blast his opponents into oblivion!” RizeGreymon asks, “Boss, what’s going on?” Sailor Celestial says, shaking her head, “I’ve got no freaking idea. It feels like someone is screaming in my head.” RizeGreymon asks, “Screaming in your head?” Sailor Celestial says, with a winch, “Later, buddy. Right now…Look out!” RizeGreymon then looks to see Salia attacking with her spear, but RizeGreymon manages to dodge out of the way. Salia says, “Should have known that you would cheat!” Sailor Celestial retorts, “Cheat?! That’s laughable coming from you!” Just then a familiar female voice shouts out, “Got that right!” Salia then dodges a shot from a laser weapon and everyone looks to see Ange, riding Villkiss in Destroy Mode, flying over. Salia yells out, annoyed, “Ange!” Ange says, “That getup is even more ridiculous on you that those stupid cosplay that you wore.” Salia gives a beet red blush on her cheeks and Sailor Celestial asks, “Cosplay?” Ange says, with a grin, “Salia is more ‘girly’ than you think.” Salia yells out, angrily, “That does it, Ange! I’m going to make you shut up for good!” Ange says, strongly, “Just try it! If you think that you can mimic this Suguha and her friends, think again! Your version of their powers is just plain pathetic, but then again, second-rate and second-best. You were always behind me and our Suguha, Salia.” Salia shouts out, angrily, “I’ve had enough of you, Ange!” Salia fires a beam of from her spear, but Ange and Villkiss easily manage to dodge the attacks. Sailor Celestial says, “I’ve got to get back…Argh!” Sailor Celestial holds her head in pain and RizeGreymon asks, worriedly, “Boss, are you okay?” Sailor Celestial grunts out, “Do I…look okay…buddy…?!” Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “What is with this pain?!” Just then an image of [Suguha] blasts into Sailor Celestial’s mind and Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, “My counterpart…what are they…doing to her…?!” April 29, 2026, Tokyo, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters Back within UNI-SHOCKER, we return to the lab that [Suguha] is being kept in and we find her still entrapped in the glass cylinder in which it is full of some kind of gas while there is an Augma attached to the left side of her head causing her to scream out in pain and agony as Professor Shigemura and Eiji are watching. Eiji asks, “Are you sure about this?” Professor Shigemura says, “I take no pleasure in this at all. I hate this, but to bring out her powers, we are going to need to use drastic measures.” Eiji asks, “So, this gas is supposed to force her?” Professor Shigemura says, “No, it is help open her mind while preventing physical damage to her brain from any trauma due to the memories that we are unlocking.” Eiji asks, “Didn’t Embryo take most of her memories?” Professor Shigemura says, with a nod, “True, but the rest of her memories are locked away. And her powers are also locked due to what happened, like a defensive mechanism, but if we unlock those remaining memories, we might bypass her power’s defenses.” Eiji says, with a nod, “I see.” [Suguha] screams out as images bombard her mind as her remaining memories are being ‘unlocked’ and she is being forced to see them. [Suguha] thinks in her mind, fearfully, “No! No! Please stop! Please stop! Don’t make me see them again!” [Suguha] then sees images of the start of SAO, what looks like Kazuto on a hospital bed and a NervGear attached to his head, and, the most horrifying image of all, a group of doctors frantically trying to save a person as a NervGear is killing them. But then there is an image of a male person in a Knights of Blood Oath uniform shattering into pieces and [Suguha] gives out a huge scream as the sigil of Sailor Celestial appears on her forehead causing her to be bathed in rainbow light. Eiji asks, stunned, “What the…?!” But then there is a huge explosion within the cylinder as it shatters apart and smoke and dust fill the room causing alarms to blare out in which a lot of UNI-SHOCKER Combatmen rush into the room. Professor Shigemura emerges from the smoke and dust and he asks, concerned, “What happened?!” Just then from the smoke and dust of the ‘container’ entrapped [Suguha], someone that looks like Valkyrie Sailor Celestial emerges from smoke and dust and collapses to the floor on her knees. Eiji says, “She…” Professor Shigemura says, with a nod, “It worked.” The Combatmen approached [Valkyrie Sailor Celestial], but her eyes open, showing that they are blank, in which she lashes out on instinct and cutting down the Combatmen with ease. Eiji yells out, shocked, “Such power!” [Sailor Celestial] then turns towards Eiji and Professor Shigemura and prepares to attack them in which Eiji shouts out, fearfully, “Professor!” When [Sailor Celestial] leaps in to attack, Professor Shigemura shouts out, “Activate restraints! Shigemura M-One!” Just then, out of the walls, energy beams come out and restrain [Sailor Celestial] in which she struggles against them. Eiji says, with a sigh, “Good…” But then [Sailor Celestial] breaks the restraints and has Eiji by the throat. Professor Shigemura yells out, “No!” But then [Sailor Celestial] screams out in pain as she gets hit by Kamen Rider Terra and she collapses to the floor in heap as Professor Shigemura goes over to put a band around her right arm. Kamen Rider Terra says, “You had better be glad that I was still preparing to leave when those alarms went off.” Professor Shigemura says, “That band will keep her in her transformed state.” Kamen Rider Terra says, “You had better make sure that she remains unconscious as well.” Professor Shigemura says, with a plain tone, “Agreed.” Eiji says, “We, now, have what we need to proceed to the final phase.” Professor Shigemura says, walking to one area on the room, “Yes, Eiji, we do at last.” Professor Shigemura than stops at a cytogenetic stasis tube where there is a female figure inside and Professor Shigemura says, “Yuuna…” Kamen Rider Terra says, “Remember, Shigemura-san. You get what you want and we get what we want.” Professor Shigemura says, “We remember.” Eiji says, “Anyway for Yuuna.” Kamen Rider Terra nods his head and he responds, “Just remember that her new life is also in our hands as much as yours.” Kamen Rider Terra walks away and when he is gone, Eiji gives an annoyed frown. Professor Shigemura says, “Easy, Eiji. Do not concern yourself with him. Not when we are so close.” Eiji says, “Right, Shigemura-dono. Right now, I have to be ready for the Black Swordsman, the White Valkyrie, and all of their friends. They will do their best to stop us.” Professor Shigemura says, “Of course.” As Eiji starts to walk away, Professor Shigemura looks down at the cytogenetic stasis tube with a plain expression on his face. April 29, 2026, Tokyo, Odiaba District Back in Odiaba, the battle against the newly empowered Diamond Rose Knights, our Valkyrie Sailor Scouts, and now, Ange continues on with Ange, within Villkiss, is fighting Salia, but then Embryo, standing on his Ragna-Mail, Hysterica, teleports in as Sailor Orion flies in as well as Tuxedo Mask and the rest of the Sailor Scouts also fly in. Embryo says, “My dear knights, I’m sorry to pull you away after you are doing so well, but we need to withdraw for now.” The Diamond Rose Knights are confused and Chris asks, “But why, Master Embryo?” Embryo responds, “There has been a ‘complication’.” Salia asks, confused, “Complication?” Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, my dear Salia. I’m sorry, but we must withdraw to allow me to discuss it with you. Any distraction will cost you, darling Salia.” Salia says, with a nod, “As you wish, Master Embryo.” Salia yells out, strongly, “Let’s go!” All of the Diamond Rose Knight fly off to assemble by Embryo. Ange shouts out, “Running away!” Salia responds, “As if, Ange!” Salia says, gripping her armored hand, “You see this new power? We have mastered it and we are more than a match for your new friends now! Next time, you won’t be so lucky!” Soon after, Embryo and the Diamond Rose Knights teleport away. Sailor Venus asks, “What was that all about?” Sailor Orion says, “They were doing quite well.” Sailor Mars says, annoyed, “Tell me about it, Orion.” Sailor Mercury says, with her computer out, “I think that I know why they left.” Everyone else looks at Sailor Mercury and Sailor Jupiter asks, “What is it, Mercury?” Sailor Mercury says, “There was a massive power surge at UNI-SHOCKER headquarters.” Sailor Uranus asks, “A massive ‘power surge’?” Sailor Nebula asks Sailor Mercury, concerned, “Oh no. Mercury, you don’t mean…?” Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, “The energy signature of the ‘surge’ matched Sailor Celestial’s energy signature.” There are gasps and Sailor Celestial asks, surprised, “Me?” Tuxedo Mask says, in realization, “They must have somehow forced Celestial’s counterpart to reawaken her powers!” There are looks of shock and Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “I believe that’s a valid statement. During the fight, I sensed a power ‘disruption’ in space and time and it could have only been made by someone like Celestial herself.” Sailor Uranus says, “That means that Shigemura and Eiji have the final piece of their plan to attempt to revive Yuuna-san.” Tuxedo Mask says, “It means that they will be fully committed to their plans for the concert tonight.” Sailor Moon says, concerned, “Oh no!” Sailor Sun asks, “What can we do?” Sailor Celestial says, “We need to make our move and now.” RizeGreymon asks, “Are you going to be okay, boss?” Sailor Celestial responds, “I am now, RizeGreymon. That ‘screaming’ that I heard must have been my counterpart when they were forcibly reawakening her powers.” Sailor Celestial holds her head and Sailor Moon asks, “Are you sure?” Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Yeah, I’m okay now. We need to hurry.” Ange says, with a nod, “No damn kidding.” The others can’t help to nod their heads in agreement as they plan to push their plans forward. April 29, 2026, Tokyo Within their current ‘headquarters’, Embryo and the Diamond Rose Knights are also discussing the same subject. Ersha asks, “So, they forced our Suguha to awaken her powers?” Embryo says, with a nod, “I believe so, my darling Ersha.” Chris asks, “So, what do we do now, Master Embryo?” Salia says, “I say that we make them pay! We have mastered our new powers!” Embryo tells Salia, “I love your attitude, my dear Salia. However, we can’t just be going rushing in there. They have much experience from various world and I had managed to acquire these artifacts from them, so, it would be good to remember that they may have ways to counter them.” Salia says, with a sigh, “Yes, you are right, Master Embryo.” Embryo tells Salia, with a smile, “Don’t worry, Salia. I’m not saying that they won’t pay for their betrayal, but we need to plan accordingly.” Salia asks Embryo, “Do you have a plan Master Embryo?” Embryo says, with a nod, “Yes, I do. I will need your complete trust from all of you, my lovely ladies.” Salia says, “You saved us and gave us purpose, Master Embryo. Of course we trust you.” The other Diamond Rose Knights nod their heads in agreement and Embryo says, with a smile, “Thank you. Please follow me.” Embryo then heads off and the Diamond Rose Knights follow him to prepare for whatever plans that Embryo has. End Scene 14 Things are now coming to ahead since Suguha’s counterpart has been forced to ‘reawaken’ as her version of Sailor Celestial and it looks like the Diamond Rose Knight have gained their own powers to rival the Valkyrie level Sailor Scouts. With Professor Shigemura’s and UNI-SHOCKER’s plans and yes, I said PLANS and not PLAN, coming to ahead, our group has a lot of work to do. What does Embryo have in his sleeve next? You are going to have to read to find out! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
