Scene 24: Beginning and End of a Journey

 

May 1, 2026, Earth, Tokyo

 

Within Tokyo, Eiji and Professor Shigemura are being escorted down a hallway by Seijirou Kikuoka and several men in business suits, but both Eiji and Professor Shigemura knew that they were armed government agents.

 

Seijirou says, “You aren’t going to have to have long, Eiji-san. You are going to have to be returned to police custody. However, you will most likely being released since charges won’t be pressed especially since Ryoutarou-san and his friend got their memories back.”

 

Eiji says, plainly, “I wish that you had kept me there.”

 

Seijirou says, with a sly smile, “Really now? You might have a change of heart.”

 

Professor Shigemura says, “I believe that you aren’t bringing us out for a simple ‘chat’, Seijirou-dono.”

 

Seijirou says, with a smile, “No, I’m not. I’m actually here to have you meet someone.”

 

Professor Shigemura asks, curiously, “Meet someone?”

 

Seijirou says, with a nod, “Yes. They have been waiting for you for a while.” Seijirou then opens the door to the room and enters in which he motions Eiji and Professor Shigemura to enter in which they gasp to see none other than Yuuna, in the flesh, literally, in front of them.

 

Yuuna asks, with a kind smile, “What kept you and Eiji-kun, daddy?”

 

Professor Shigemura yells out, flabbergasted, “Yuuna?!”

 

Eiji asks, shocked, “Y-Yuuna?”

 

Seijirou says, “I can assure you that this is no trick and no joke.”

 

Yuuna goes over to her father and she says, warmly, “It’s me, daddy.” After a few moments, Professor Shigemura can’t help himself to hug his daughter.

 

Professor Shigemura says, excitedly, “Y-You live again!”

 

Eiji says, stunned, “But how? This shouldn’t…”

 

Seijirou says, pointing to an area of the room, “I think that it is them that you should thank.” Everyone looks to where Seijirou is pointing in which Kazuto, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Celestial walk out from the shadows.

 

Eiji says, shocked, “You!”

 

Professor Shigemura asks, “But how? Why?”

 

Sailor Celestial asks, with a quirk of her eyebrow, “You have to ask how since you already know how?”

 

Sailor Moon says, “A few ‘allies’ of ours managed to get the technology and Yuuna-san’s body out of UNI-SHOCKER’s hands.”

 

Kazuto says, “Yuuna-san’s body was perfectly ‘maintained’ as it was on the day that she…Well, ‘died’. It made it easy to use a certain someone’s power to ‘repair’ the damage to Yuuna-san’s body especially her brain.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a plain tone, “However, we didn’t do this for either of you. This was for Yuuna-san.”

 

Seijirou says, “However, it was a shame that you destroyed the technology soon after.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “It was too dangerous to keep that technology.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod of agreement, “I have to agree with her, Seijirou. There are a lot of reasons why that technology had to have been destroyed.”

Yuuna tells her father, “I’m so sorry, daddy.”

 

Professor Shigemura tells Yuuna, shaking his head with tears in her eyes, “No, it isn’t your fault.”

 

Seijirou says, “Technically, Shigemura-san, your daughter did die, and she is classified as dead. However, it can be said that you adopted a young girl that looks exactly like your ‘deceased’ daughter with a similar name.” Professor Shigemura looks at Seijirou in surprise and Seijirou says, “Anyway, I was hoping that you would help be part of a ‘special project’ of mine.”

 

Professor Shigemura asks, curiously, “Special project?”

 

Seijirou says, “Yes. Let’s just say that your AI idol has gotten me very interested.”

 

Professor Shigemura says, “It is probably the reason that I won’t end up in jail and Yuuna can start a new life.”

 

Seijirou says, with a smile, “Well…”

 

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, annoyed, “Seriously?”

 

Eiji says, weakly, “Yuuna…”

 

Yuuna tells Eiji, with a smile, “It’s me, Eiji. I don’t blame you for what happened, and I don’t blame Sailor Moon for anything. I made the choice. I knew that it was most likely it would end in my…demise. I did it to make sure that you and the others lived. So, please, let go of the guilt.” Eiji then starts to shed tears and fall to his knees in front of Yuuna.

 

Eiji says, weakly, “Yuuna…Yuuna…!!”

 

Yuuna then hugs Eiji and she says, kindly, “I’m here, Eiji. And I’m not going anywhere.”

 

On the meanwhile, Seijirou goes over to Kazuto, Sailor Moon, and Sailor Celestial and Seijirou says, “I, thank you, for your help.”

 

Kazuto tells Seijirou, “You know that we don’t fully trust you.”

 

Seijirou tells Kazuto, “Kirito-kun, I am hurt…”

 

Sailor Celestial tells Seijirou, “Would you trust a person that knew your ‘secret identity’ without any easy way to show it?”

 

Seijirou says, with a nod, “Point taken.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Remember, we have quite a bit on you as you have on us.”

 

Seijirou says, with a smile, “Yes, I know. Trust me, I spent a while on upgrading security, but something tells me that it won’t help.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, with a sly grin, “We have capable friends.”

 

Seijirou says, with a smile, “I’ll bet.”

 

Sailor Moon asks, “Will there be any problems?”

 

Seijirou says, with a smile, “Thanks to your help, there won’t be any.”

 

Kazuto says, with a nod, “Good.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “We might be causing some bad karma by doing this.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “We may have done something forbidden, but what happened to Yuuna-san was also forbidden in my mind. Her life was taken away by someone’s else selfishness and greed. If I have to be punished to give this good person the second chance that she rightfully deserves, then I will take it.” Sailor Celestial and Kazuto look at Sailor Moon and both of them nod their heads in agreement with their ‘royal sibling’.

 

May 1, 2026, Earth, Tokyo

 

Sometime later that same day, our heroes and heroines are assembled together in which everyone else is facing *Sailor Celestial*, Kamen Rider Kuro, and Kamen Rider Lunar.

 

Tai asks, “So, this is the place?”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, “Yep.”

 

Kamen Rider Kuro says, “We need to get home right away. With us revealed, UNI-SHOCKER is going to enhance their defenses and check over their security in which we need to take advantage of that.”

 

Rika asks, curiously, “Do you have…friends?”

 

*Sailor Celestial* says, with a smile, “Yes, we do. We usually call them by their code names including Lisbeth, Silica, Sinon, Klein, and Agil.”

 

There are surprised looks and Kamen Rider Kuro says, “Let’s just say that they have good reasons to help us.”

 

There are concerned looks and Shion says, “I figured as much.”

 

Darien asks Kamen Rider Lunar, “You never knew about them?”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, “Not one bit.”

 

Amara says, “Well, there is good reason for that.”

 

Kamen Rider Kuro says, with a nod, “Yes. We need to be prepared in case something happened to Kamen Rider Lunar. Someone needed to be around to continue the fight against UNI-SHOCKER.”

 

Kazuto says, nodding his head, “That’s a good point.”

 

Mina asks, curiously, “So, there are like other people that are hiding from UNI-SHOCKER like secret agents or something?”

 

*Sailor Celestial* says, with a nod, “Yeah, we don’t know about each other for obvious reasons.”

 

Suguha asks, curiously, “But your Kayaba does, doesn’t he?”

 

Kamen Rider Kuro says, “We can’t be exactly sure.”

 

*Sailor Celestial* tells Kamen Rider Lunar, “It is something that we need to talk about when we get back. He isn’t working with UNI-SHOCKER, but it doesn’t mean that he is working for the greater good.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, with a sigh, “I know…”

 

Serena tells Kamen Rider Lunar, “I understand how you feel.” When Kamen Rider Lunar looks at Serena, she says, “I had trusted and believed in my uncle. He was like a second father to me. When he did what he did, when he started SAO, turning a dream into a horrific nightmare, I just couldn’t believe…I couldn’t process it. I just broke down and I couldn’t do anything for three days. It was only that the people that I love sending their feelings to me that I regained the focuses and strength to continue on to find push forward and fight my way home.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, with a nod, “Thanks, Meatball Head.”

 

Serena tells Kamen Rider Lunar, “You’ll get your sister back someday.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, “You better believe it.”

 

May 1, 2026, Earth, Tokyo, Unknown location

 

Within another part of Tokyo, there is a young teenage male of around 15-16 years of age with spiky blond hair, blue eyes, and three whiskers coming out of each of his cheeks sneezes in which Haruka comes around the corner.

 

Haruka asks the young teen male, “Naruto-kun, is something wrong?”

 

The young teen male responds, “I’m fine, Haruka-chan. Someone must be talking about me.”

 

Haruka asks the young teen male, seductively, “Really, Naruto-kun? Who do you think?”

 

The young teen male replies, with a sly smile, “I don’t know.”

 

Haruka asks the young teen male, “Maybe we should join the others and discuss this, right?”

 

The young teen male asks, slyly, “Maybe, Haruka-chan. Anyway, how did the mission go?”

 

Haruka says, with a grin, “Like taking candy from a baby, Naruto-kun.”

 

The young teen male says, “I knew that I could count on you, Hikage-chan, and Homura-chan.”

 

Haruka says, seductively, “I think that you should give us some ‘private time’ with us.”

 

The young teen male says, with a sly grin, “Maybe I should.” The young teen male and Haruka share a loving kiss.

 

May 1, 2026, Earth, Tokyo

 

Back with our heroes and heroines, the rest of our group is talking to *Sailor Celestial*, Kamen Rider Kuro, and Kamen Rider Lunar in which a portal then appears to the right of all of them and when all of them look towards it, ‘duplicates’ of Sailor Star, Davis, and Veemon appear from the portal.

 

The ‘duplicate’ of Sailor Star shouts out, “Kirito-kun!”

 

Kamen Rider Kuro waves to the ‘duplicate’ of Sailor Star and he says, “That’s our ride.”

 

Davis says, “It looks like we have counterparts there.”

 

*Sailor Celestial* says, with a grin, “You know it! You are the critical core of our ‘resistance’.”

 

Kamen Rider Kuro says, “UNI-SHOCKER, however, also has legions of Tamers and Digidestined with their Digimon on their side…Willing or otherwise.”

 

Tai asks Kamen Rider Lunar, “Is it true?”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar replies, with a nod, “Yeah. I’ve had to free quite a few of them and they have joined my team. I was expecting one of them to get me home.”

 

Mina says, with a smirk, “It looks like you have a bigger team now.”

 

Kamen Rider Kuro says, “Anyway, we should get going. Our world is going to need us.”

 

*Sailor Celestial* asks, “But do you think that you will be okay?”

 

Suguha asks, with a smirk, “Do you really need to ask?”

 

*Sailor Celestial* replies, with a grin, “Not really.”

 

Molly says, handing *Sailor Celestial* baby *Rini*, “Here you go.”

 

*Sailor Celestial* takes baby *Rini* into her arms and she say, with a smile, “Thank you.”

 

Darien says, “Take good care of her and make sure that you raise her well.”

 

*Sailor Celestial* says, with a nod, “No damn kidding. This is my niece after all.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, “You mean OUR niece.” Kamen Rider Lunar tells Darien, “And just remember, HE is himself and you are you. You may be different versions of the same person, but you aren’t the exact same person.”

 

Darien says, with a smile, “I’ll remember that. I KNOW that I’m not that loser.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, “You do well to remember that or I’ll come back and knock that home into that brain of yours…your majesty.”

 

Darien glares at Kamen Rider Lunar and he then says, extending his hand, “Never give up on your sister, Sammy.”

 

Kamen Rider Lunar says, with a nod, “Never.” Kamen Rider Lunar takes Darien’s hand and they shake in which Kamen Rider Lunar, Kuro, and *Sailor Celestial*, who has baby *Rini* in her arms, walk over to the portal, look back, nod their heads, and they enter the portal with the ‘doppelgangers’ of Sailor Star, Davis, and Veemon in which the portal closes behind them.

 

Asuna asks, curiously, “Do you think that they will be okay?”

 

Kazuto says, with a wide grin, “Oh, I KNOW so, Asuna. I KNOW so.”

 

Amara says, “They are in for a long fight.”

 

Lita says, with a nod, “That’s right for sure.”

 

Darien says, with a smile, “True, but they have each other and something tells me that a new team of Sailor Scouts and ‘heroes’ is about to come up from the ashes of defeat of that world.”

 

Davis says, with a grin, “I’ve got a feeling that you are right.”

 

May 1, 2026, Earth, Tokyo, Dicey Café

 

Inside of Dicey Café, our heroes and heroines from this Earth are assembled together with Ryoutarou’s friends from Fuurinkazan, Vivian, Ange, Hilda, Rosalie, Chris, Jasmine, Maggie, Emma, Tusk, Momoka, Vivian’s mother, Lamia, and the [Sailor Scouts] and {Darien} from [Sailor Celestial’s] Earth are together in a little ‘party’ as they prepare to say goodbye and leave.

 

Kazuto asks Ryoutarou, “How are you feeling Klein?”

Ryoutarou says, with a grin, “Like a brand-new man, bro.”

 

Asuna says, “It was good that we were able to retrieve your memories and the memories of all the survivors that got their memories scanned not just me.”

 

[Serena] says, “That’s good to know.”

 

Vivian says, excitedly, “This is delicious! You are a master chef!”

 

Andrew says, with a grin, “I can’t take all of the credit.”

 

Kazuto says, with a smirk, “Since both versions of Asuna made three-quarters of the meals after all.”

 

Andrew says, nervously, “Oh, come on, bro! Cut me some slack!”

 

Suguha asks her counterpart, “So, what are your plans?”

 

[Suguha] says, “We plan to visit Salamandinay’s world and then we’re going to be heading home. Ange and the Norma are going to be joining us.”

 

Michelle asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

Ange says, “There is nothing in that world for us now. The people will be looking for blame us for their loss of Mana.”

 

Rosalie says, with a nod, “No joke.”

 

Hotaru says, “It is going to be tough adjusting to a new society and world.”

 

Hilda says, with a grin, “After what we have been through, if your world is anything to go by, I think that it will be a piece of cake.”

 

Vivian says, having a large piece of cake in her hands, “Speaking of cake…”

 

Plenty of the others giggle at Vivian’s antics and Maggie says, “It is going to be quite an effort. The girls didn’t grow up in that kind of world and they are going to need to learn the languages, history, and then some.”

 

Amara says, with a nod, “I’ll bet. It is going to be a hard transition.”

 

Ange says, “But we’ll endure. We always have, and we always will.” Momoka, Tusk, and Hilda nod their heads in agreement.

 

Momoka asks Emma, “Miss Emma, why did you come with us?”

 

Rosalie says, “Personally, I thought that you would want to stay behind with ‘your kind’.”

 

Emma says, nervously, “Well…”

 

Ange says, with a plain tone, “Most likely, she figured that if she tried to stay and help rebuild, she would be blamed for not keeping the Norma ‘under control’ and get ‘in trouble’.”

 

Emma laughs nervously, and Rosalie says, “Basically, self-preservation.”

 

Hilda says, “Don’t blame her.”

 

Maggie says, with a smile, “Well, I’m sure that she will do fine. She is an administrator and there are plenty of people that would love a lovely woman administrator.”

 

Emma asks, curiously, “Really?”

 

Maggie slaps Emma on the back and she says, with a grin, “Sure!”

 

Lita asks, curiously, “By the way, where is Salia and your ‘commander’?”

 

Hilda says, with a sigh, “They are back on the ship. Salia is making sure that everything is okay, and the commander is sleeping like a log.”

 

Serena asks, surprised, “She’s sleeping?”

 

Maggie says, with a smile, “Like a log. I’ve never seen Jill sleep so well.”

 

Jasmine says, with a grin, “Probably dreaming about Embryo’s demise over and over again.”

 

Plenty of the others get a bit nervous and Yolei says, nervously, “That’s not…creepy…”

 

Jasmine says, “In her mind, she has finally avenged all who were lost when Embryo made her into his doll.”

 

Molly asks, “What do you think will happen to that world?”

 

Rika responds, “Who knows? Ange knocked the truth into their heads. It is up to them to accept the truth.”

 

Ange says, with a scoff, “Like I give a damn about them. They will either adapt or die by the way side. I really don’t care anymore.” Ange says, with a smile, “This is my life now. I live my life the way that I choose and whatever happens is because of my own darn will.”

 

Hilda says, with a grin, “I hear you, girlfriend.”

 

Momoka says, “Yes, Lady Angelise.”

 

Mina tells Momoka, “You know, Momoka, since the Norma are completely free, and Embryo are gone, you don’t have to be Ange’s maid anymore.”

 

Momoka says, shaking her head, “I’ll always be Lady Angelise’s maid.”

 

Lita says, with a grin, “Wow! That’s loyalty for you!”

 

Asuna asks Vivian, “What about you and your mom, Vivian?”

 

Vivian gives a curious look, looks at her mother, Lamia, and she says, “It has been great, and I’ve found that we are a lot alike.”

 

Lamia says, with a smile, “However, I understand my daughter is used to life with her friends since she was so young, so, I intend to go with her no matter she goes.”

 

Yolei says, nervously, “Lamia-san, unlike your daughter…Well…”

 

Lamia says, looking at her dragon-like tail, “Yes, it is going to be tough for me to hide in that Earth’s human society.”

 

Ange says, with a smile, “Well, Riza was able to hide her tail and all Vivian’s mother is going to need is something to cover her back.”

 

Ryoutarou asks [Suguha], “By the way, I hate to bring back bad memories, but how did you end up in Ange’s worlds in the first place?”

 

[Suguha] says, “Now that I have my memories back, I think that we can tell you.” When [Suguha] looks at the rest of the [Sailor Scouts], [Serena] nods her head.

 

[Serena] says, with a sigh, “You pretty much know the story of how this began.”

 

Amara says, “I figured as much.”

 

[Serena] says, “However, our SAO happened differently than what happened with yours.”

 

Serena asks, curiously, “How different?”

 

[Suguha] asks, looking at her counterpart, “Remember how you found a friend had kept a NervGear and you managed to acquire that NervGear?”

 

Suguha says, with a nod, “Yeah, but big brother and sis defeated Kayaba before I…” Suguha then stops, realizing what her counterpart is saying.

 

Kazuto asks, “You actually used that NervGear, didn’t you? It is a world where SAO didn’t end at Floor Seventy-Five?”

 

[Serena] and [Suguha] nod their heads in agreement and [Serena] says, “Everything that happened in your world happened in ours until Kirito’s and my fight with Kayaba on Floor Seventy-Five. I was fighting Kayaba after I had saved Kirito and Asuna…and nearly dying in the process. I had finally tapped into my powers and transformed into Sailor Moon in the game in which I fought one-on-one with the man that betrayed me so greatly. It looked like I was winning, but then something started to become…strange. Kayaba seemed to ‘flicker’ like a television screen when it starts to get staticky and my attacks seem to go through him and not hit him. However, I was too intent on beating him to really notice or care. When I broke his guard, I went in for the…finish. I got him in the chest, but he then just vanished.”

 

Kotone asks, curiously, “Vanished?”

 

{Darien} says, “We later learned that it was an emergency protocol that teleported him away due to the fact that SAO suffered a major error due to an overload.”

 

Ami asks, curiously, “An overload?”

 

[Ami] says, with a nod, “That’s right. An overload caused by the release of all of the sorted emotional and mental data of the players caused by outside tampering.”

 

Kazuto asks, “Outside tampering?”

 

[Raye] says, “That’s right. Ami inspected the severs and found out that router has been tampered with.”

 

There are plenty of looks of surprise and Tai says, with a sneer, “That sounds familiar.”

 

Rika asks, curiously, “Let me guess: Sugou Nobuyuki?”

 

[Lita] says, with a nod, “You know it.”

 

Asuna says, “I take it that your Sugou ran out of patience for the game to end.”

 

[Asuna] says, with a nod, “Yes, he wanted to get his mind control experiments started right away.” Both versions of Asuna can’t help to cringe at that thought.

 

[Mina] says, with a smirk, “All that it got him was trapped in the game.”

 

Kazuto asks, curiously, “Sugou got trapped in SAO?”

 

{Darien} says, “We found that out later on.”

 

Darien says, “I’m guessing that you used your versions of the ‘full-dive pods’ developed to jump into SAO.”

 

[Amara] says, with a nod, “That’s right. Using our ALO avatar data as a base, we managed to get into the game to help our Serena.”

 

[Asuna] says, “Needless to say, our Usagi-chan…I mean, Serena-chan was shocked to find out that her beloved and her friends came in to help her.”

 

[Suguha] says, “My big brother was shocked to find me in there too.”

 

Kazuto says, “He probably had a few things to say.”

 

[Suguha] says, nervously, “Yeah, but he said them later since I…kind of, lied saying that I was inside of ALO and somehow got thrown into SAO.”

 

[Ami] says, “And since we knew that ALO was based on the same system running SAO, we didn’t have anything to argue against an ALO player being pulled in SAO, but we couldn’t understand how since we knew that an ALO player would be using an Amusphere and despite it being based on the NervGear, it was more than different enough to prevent such a thing from happening.”

 

[Lita] says, “Including the fact that it couldn’t fry your brain.”

 

{Darien} says, “Later on, we had Suguha tell the truth and she admitted that she acquired a NervGear which she used to log into SAO using her ALO avatar data as a base.”

 

Darien asks, with a serious tone, “In which you learned that it was no accident that Suguha’s friend was able to keep his NervGear when the government did everything to gather them up.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a solemn tone, “I learned later on that I was rolling with one of many Kayaba’s plans.”

 

[Shion] says, “My way into SAO wasn’t as easy as theirs.”

 

There are plenty of surprised looks and Shion asks her counterpart, “You got into SAO?”

 

[Shion] says, “Not willingly. I was part of a test for the Medicuboid. You already know what that is.”

 

Our heroes and heroines from this Earth nod their heads and Molly says, “Yes, it is the Full-Dive device for medical use. It is used for terminal care right now, but thanks to a ‘valued friend’, the research is advancing quite quickly.”

 

Asuna thinks in her mind, with a solemn smile, “Yuuki…”

&nb sp;

[Shion] says, “I was there to test its usage as a psychological aid.” Shion nods her head at what her counterpart was implying and [Shion] says, “I had made an avatar and waited in the program, but there was a ‘shaking’ and I felt myself falling before I had knocked out. Next thing that I knew was in SAO, on the Seventy-Sixth floor, and for a temporary time, I had lost my memories.”

 

Asuna asks, concerned, “You lost your memories?”

 

[Asuna] says, “The ‘unnatural nature’ of her ‘transfer’ into SAO caused a ‘shock’ or something like that had Sinonon temporary lose her memories. With Kirito-kun’s and our help, she managed to regain them over time.”

 

[Shion] says, “There are some memories that I wish that I didn’t remember through.” Shion nods her head in understanding knowing her counterpart felt.

 

Kazuto says, “I can see how your Shion could get sucked into SAO. The Medicuboid is based on the NervGear and not the Amusphere, so, the system that ran SAO must have detected that Medicuboid as a NervGear and connected it to SAO.”

 

[Serena] says, “That’s exactly what happened once we managed to finally finished the game.”

 

[Kari] says, “Even my Dai-kun and I managed to find our way into SAO.”

 

Tai yells out, “Your Davis and you, too?!”

 

Kari asks, “You must have been still trapped in Rainbow Gardens at the time?”

 

[Kari] says, with a nod, “Yep. That’s right. But one day, we fell through a gateway and found ourselves in a strange area where we bumped into an SAO player in which we learned that we were SAO. She is a treasure hunter named Philia.”

 

Everyone else then looks at Kotone and she asks, surprised, “You met my counterpart?”

 

[Kari] says, “That’s right. And she is a good friend of ours, but she went through quite an experience. For the first month that Dai-kun and I were in SAO, we were trapped a special ‘testing area’ of SAO known as the ‘Hollow Area’.”

 

Keiko asks, “Hollow Area?”

 

[Serena] says, “It was an area of SAO not open to the players…usually. It was used for testing new ‘updates’ and ‘variables’ to see how they would affect the game’s balance. There was a lot of ‘stuff’ that wasn’t put out into ‘Aincrad proper’.”

 

Kazuto says, “The error must have opened it up and your Philia was somehow teleported there.”

 

[Kari] says, with a nod, “That’s right. Once there, however, she was trapped there because…she accidently killed ‘herself’.”

 

There are gasps of shock and Ryoutarou asks, shocked, “What?”

 

[Serena] says, “In order to test the various ‘factors’ in the ever-changing SAO, the Cardinal System also created AI duplicates of every single player in the game.”

 

TK asks, surprised, “You mean that there were doppelgangers of every player in SAO?”

 

[Asuna] says, with a nod, “That’s right. And one of the rules was that no player should meet their AI duplicate and, in the case, of the very rare, close to impossible, chance of a player getting into the ‘Hollow Area’, the player’s AI duplicate was to be deleted. However, due to the error, our Philia-chan meet he AI duplicate and she attacked it out of fear and surprise.”

 

Lita says, “You can’t really blame the girl. Finding ‘another you’ would shock the heck out of anyone.”

 

Mina says, nodding her head in agreement, “No joke, girlfriend.”

 

Kazuto says, “Ah, it caused her to get a criminal player status, but since your Philia’s AI duplicate wasn’t truly a player, it was an error causing a problem with her avatar.”

 

[Serena] says, nodding her head, “That’s right. It made her unable to escape the Hollow Area.”

 

Kotone asks, shocked, “My counterpart was trapped.”

 

[Kari] says, with a smile, “Yeah. Even with us, she had a trying time.”

 

[Serena] says, “That was until I and my Kirito dropped in on them. It was about one month since my battle with Kayaba and the overload also caused us to be trapped on seventy-sixth floor because our avatar’s data was also ‘bugged’ in which we retained our levels, but we lost a good portion of our skill data.”

 

There are plenty of surprised looks and Rika asks, “You were trapped on a single floor for a month?”

 

Kazuto says, “I can see why. You might have retained your HP and stats with your levels, but your skill data is built up in another way and even retaining your high levels, if you don’t have the necessary skills at the proper levels, you might as well starting from level one.”

 

[Asuna] says, with a nod, “That’s right. It wasn’t the only problem. Once we got to the seventy-sixth floor, we couldn’t use the teleport gates to get the lower floors.”

 

There are gasps of shock and Asuna asks, “You couldn’t go below seventy-sixth floor?”

 

[Serena] says, “The overload caused significant ‘malfunctions’ in the game while you can teleport up to seventy-sixth floor, you wouldn’t be able to teleport back down. Thankfully, we were able to send messages down to the lower floors informing of this fact and other players shouldn’t come beyond floor seventy-five unless they plan to join the efforts in clearing the game since they had no way to return to the lower floors.”

 

Asuna asks her counterpart, “That means…?”

 

[Asuna] says, with a smile, “We lost our ‘home’ on Floor Twenty-Two, but we manage to build a new home on another floor and we had a residence in Arc Sofia. Also, the error allowed Yui-chan to regain her human form and she was with us the whole time.”

 

[Suguha] says, “It was a real shock to find out that big brother had ‘married’ someone in game and they had a daughter.”

 

Suguha says, with a grin, “I’ll bet.”

 

[Serena] says, continuing her story, “Anyway, one day, in December, Kirito and I were exploring the dungeon of floor seventy-six when we were teleported into the Hollow Area and ran into our Philia…or should I say, she ran into us, quite literally.”

 

[Kari] says, with a smile, “Philia reacted out of surprise and fear and attacked our Kirito and Serena.” Kotone couldn’t help to blush in embarrassment even through she knows that this isn’t ‘her story’, but [Kari] says, “But you can’t really blame her. After spending a month in the Hollow Area, the main floors of Aincrad were paradise.”

 

Andrew whistles and he says, “Wow. It must have been tough.”

 

Kazuto says, “I wouldn’t be surprised with AI players and a lot of enemies and stuff that wasn’t put into the main game. It must have been a really difficult area that rival or possibly exceeded the highest forms of Aincrad.”

 

[Serena] says, with a nod, “Yeah. Our Philia took us for more AI duplicates of SAO players, but we managed to get her to calm down…after we had to fight to survive a weaker version of the Skull Reaper.”

 

Ryoutarou says, stunned, “That dude? Whoa! Even if it was weaker, it must have been a pain!”

 

[Serena] says, with a nod, “You said it.”

 

[Kari] says, “After much work and a lot of headaches, we managed to correct the error in Philia’s data and she was able to return to Aincrad proper itself in which she joined up to help the Assault Team take care of the rest of the floors of Aincrad.”

 

[Asuna] says, “In which we were going to need her help since it wasn’t the game itself that the problem.”

 

Asuna asks, “Sugou?”

 

[Asuna] says, with a nod, “Yes, he was one problem. While he was trapped in the game, it doesn’t mean that he was completely at a disadvantage. Since the SAO servers were turned to the control of RECT Progress, of which he was head, he had access to administrative privileges.”

 

Rika asks, surprised, “Wait! He had in-game administrative privileges?”

 

Kazuto says, “Those must have been special accounts used by the developers of the game and those that were going to manage SAO when it was supposed to be a ‘normal game’, but when Kayaba took full control, those accounts weren’t used.”

 

[Serena] says, with a nod, “That’s right. He had an edge since he had access to those administrative accounts, called ‘super accounts’, in which he used them to create a super-powerful avatar and tried to join the Assault Team.”

 

Kazuto says, with a sneer, “Most likely to get close to Asuna as well as find ‘victims’ for his experiments.”

 

[Serena] says, “Right.”

 

Serena says, “However, it didn’t give him an edge, did it? He was like a super-powerful Rookie with no experience.”

 

[Asuna] says, “We realized that right. Serena-chan and Kirito-kun had their suspicious the instant that they saw Sugou, but he designed his avatar, which he called Alberich, and designed it like a dashing handsome knight or paladin…”

 

Kazuto says, with a sneer, “Not surprising.”

 

Serena says, with a nod, “No kidding.”

 

[Asuna] says, “Kirito-kun exposed that to us, so, we didn’t allow him into the Assault Team and we were very suspicious of Sugou, but Serena-chan and I didn’t know it was him. Just like the commander…I mean Kayaba, Sugou designed his SAO avatar to be much different than his real-life persona. If Serena-chan and I realized that it was him, we would have had him stored in Blackiron Palace’s prison area right away.”

 

Asuna says, with a nod, “And you would right to do so.”

 

[Serena] says, “Yeah, especially since he joined up with a group of other ‘infiltrators’ into SAO.”

 

Darien asks, curiously, “Other ‘infiltrators’?”

 

{Darien} says, “The Dark Agency.”

 

There are gasps of shock from the heroes and heroines of this Earth and Mina says, nervously, “Uh oh. That’s trouble.”

 

[Mina] says, “You said it.”

 

{Darien} says, “The Dark Agency found their way into SAO and we also found that Mimete, who was trapped in cyberspace, ever since her comrades trapped there, found her way into the SAO severs months before in which Kayaba sealed her there. However, the ‘damage’ suffered to SAO’s programming due to the overlord weakened her seal in which they found a way to release her. They also found a way to release the surviving members of Laughing Coffin and joined them up with their leader.”

 

There are looks of horror from plenty of the others and Ryoutarou says, nervously, “That’s a nightmare in the making.”

 

[Amara] says, “No joke. It came to a head on floor ninety-eight in which Sugou used his super account to paralyze most of us in which the only ones of us that weren’t paralyzed was our kitten, due to her own GM privileges, and surprisingly, Davis and Kari, but they were outnumber especially when Sugou summoned Kayaba’s special ‘boss avatar’ that he planned to use when the players reached the final floor of Aincrad.”

 

[Serena] says, nervously, “It was a nightmare. It was three of us against all of them and we were doing everything to protect the others.” [Serena’s] form starts to shake and {Darien} hugs her causing her to nuzzle against her beloved.

 

{Darien} says, “Normally, it wouldn’t have worked on the scouts and I since we had prepared special ‘defenses’ in the form of an ‘anti-GM firewall’ to make sure that GM privileges of SAO wouldn’t work on us, but Dark Agency had a program that paralyzed us as well leaving only Davis, Kari, and Serena able to fight back.”

 

[Asuna] says, “At one point, Laughing Coffin managed to sneak off to Kirito-kun and they were going to kill him.” [Asuna] shutters in fear and she then say, “But somehow, Suguha manages to break free of her paralyze condition and she managed to stop him, but Johnny Black used one of his paralyze portions to paralyze her again.

 

[Suguha] says, solemnly, “They decided to kill me in order to hurt big brother and Serena, but before they could…a friend saved me.”

 

Keiko asks, “A friend?”

 

[Asuna] gives a solemn sigh as [Suguha] lowers her head and she says, “A member of my guild, Aaron, befriended our Suguha-chan in SAO and they became good friends. To save her life, he…gave his life.”

 

There are gasps of shock and horror and Kotone says, “Oh my…”

 

[Suguha’s] hands turn into fists, her body shakes violently, and [Lita] says, “Whoa! Whoa! Easy girl!”

 

{Darien} says, “Ironically, it was the ‘trigger’ that Kayaba was waiting for.”

 

Andrew asks, “Trigger?”

 

Kazuto says, his eyes narrowing, “The trigger to completely ‘awaken’ your Sugu’s power as Sailor Celestial.”

 

[Serena] says, with a solemn tone, “Yes. When Suguha’s ‘final wall’ broke, she unleashed her powers before our very eyes causing the paralyzing effects on everyone else to be negated, our enemies to be thrown into the ground, and our Suguha-chan to transform right before our eyes. It was something that I could never forget…”

 

Flashback; [Sailor Celestial’s] Earth, SAO, Floor 98

 

Within the floor boss room of the Floor 98 of [Aincrad], the [Assault Team] of this [SAO] are looking on in amazement as they see [Eternal Sailor Celestial] in-between them and the enemies including members of the [Dark Agency] that are led by [Jadeite], [Laughing Coffin], [Mimete], and [Sugou] AKA Alberich, who are also shocked and stunned.

 

Alberich asks, shocked and confused, “What is this? What’s going on?”

 

[Silica] asks, “Leafa-chan?”

 

[Klein] asks, shocked, “Dude! No way!”

 

[Agil] says, stunned, “I think ‘yes way’ is word that you want, Klein.”

 

[Haruka], the [SAO] avatar of [Amara], says, “She’s a Sailor Scout!”

 

[Setsuna], the [SAO] avatar of [Trista], says, “Not just any Sailor Scout. She is Sailor Celestial, the Sovereign Sailor Scout of Reality. One of the most powerful Sailor Scouts in all the universe.”

 

There are gasps of shock and [Makoto], the [SAO] avatar of [Lita], yells out, flabbergasted, “No way!” [Setsuna] shakes her head, but her right hand balls into a fist in which her eyes narrow.

 

[Jadeite] then screams out in anger and rage, “No! No! Not again! That bratty Moon Princess made a fool out of me, but I won’t Queen Serenity’s younger brat make a fool out of me, again.”

 

[Hino], [Raye’s SAO] avatar, shouts out, surprised, “Wait! Queen Serenity’s YOUNGER daughter?!” [Jadeite] creates a jet-black sword and charges right for [Sailor Celestial], but she doesn’t make a move.

 

[Asuna] shouts out, “Leafa-chan, watch out!” When [Jadeite] gets close, however, [Sailor Celestial], quick as a flash, draws her swords, which are exact duplicates of Elucidator and Dark Repulser, and [Jadeite] roars out in pain as [Sailor Celestial] cuts his arms off in which his arms shatter into dozens of data particles.

 

There are gasps of shock and [Klein] says, stunned, “No way!”

 

[Johnny Black] says, “Whoa!” [Johnny Black] then attacks [Sailor Celestial] with his knives, but [Sailor Celestial] easily dodges the attack and [Johnny Black] screams out as [Sailor Celestial] cuts off his hands which also shatters into dozens of data particles. [Johnny Black] screams out, “What the heck?! It hurts! It hurts!” [Sailor Celestial] then bashes [Johnny Black] in the face and sends him back into the wall causing his HP bar to go to the red zone and [Johnny Black] falls into unconsciousness as well.

 

[Klein] asks, confused, “Hold on! That shouldn’t have really hurt?”

 

[Kirito] says, “No, it shouldn’t have! The pain absorbers should have dulled it down so much that it would have felt some discomfort, nothing more, but he was really screaming out in actual pain and agony! He was really hurt!”

 

[Setsuna] says, “A mere computer system must bow to the power of one whose power draws from existence itself.”

 

The [Laughing Coffin] members, minus [Red-Eyed XaXa] and [PoH], flinch from this and [Jadeite] screams out, angrily, “What are you doing?! Kill her!”

 

[Sailor Celestial] says, confidently, “Give it your best shot.”

 

End Flashback; Return to the Present

 

Back in the present, [Serena] says, finishing the story, “They gave it their best shot, but she…devastated them with ease and destroys Kayaba’s ‘boss avatar’, called the ‘Hollow Avatar’, but Sugou attempted one bit of revenge in which he created a dagger that gave a player an incurable ‘HP sap’ condition and attempted to kill Kirito with it.”

 

[Asuna] says, “However, Strea protected Kirito and took the blow.”

 

Kazuto asks, “Strea? You mean the second mental health program, Strea? Yui’s ‘younger sister’?”

 

[Serena] says, with a nod, “That’s right. Strea took an unused player avatar and took ‘player form’ in which she joined us after we met into the ‘Hollow Area’ for the first time and we met Philia, Davis, and Kari in there. She then took his administrative privileges, but the whole experience corrupted her data and trapped her in Kayaba’s boss avatar in which we had to fight to get her out among ‘other troubles’.”

 

Amara says, with a nod, “I’ll bet.”

 

[Asuna] says, “However, we managed to free Strea by switching with a duplicate created in the Hollow Area, which is hard to understand since she was an AI in the first place, and after we defeated the final boss, along with some ‘headaches’, HE then appeared.”

 

Kazuto asks, with a serious tone, “You mean YOUR Kayaba?”

 

[Serena] says, with a nod, “That’s right. He made his appearance in front of us and long story short, it ended in a three-on-one fight between Kirito, Suguha, and myself. All three of us had a lot to ‘vent’ against him.”

 

Rika says, nodding her head, “I’ll bet.”

 

Flashback; [Sailor Celestial’s] Earth, SAO, Floor 100

 

Within the [Ruby Palace], [Kirito], [Sailor Moon], and [Valkyrie Sailor Celestial] are fighting in a three-on-one battle against [Kayaba] in his [SAO] avatar of [Heathcliff] while everyone watches the event the mastermind of [SAO] is barely managing to hold back all three of them. But at one point, [Kirito] and [Sailor Moon] manage to break his guard and [Sailor Celestial] comes in for the final strike.

 

[Sailor Celestial] screams out, strongly, “Game over!” She swings down one of her swords on [Heathcliff] and knowing that he can’t block it in time, he just smiles as [Sailor Celestial] slices through him causing his HP to drop to zero causing him to start to glow.

 

[Heathcliff] says, with a grin, “Well done…” [Heathcliff] then shatters into hundreds of data pixels as ‘light’ erupts from his body engulfing everyone.

 

[Klein] shouts out, “What the?!”

 

[Philia] yells out, “So bright…!!”

 

[Asuna] shouts out, “Kirito-kun! Usagi-chan! Leafa-chan!” Soon enough, the whole of the inside of the Ruby Palace is engulfed in that light as a computer female voice says that the game has been cleared.

 

End Flashback; Return to the Present

 

Back in the present, [Suguha] says, “It was then that Embryo struck. He managed to teleport me into the area that’s in-between worlds and tried to extract my memories from me in which he got a nasty ‘slap’ from me.”

 

Ange says, “And you got flung into our world.”

 

[Suguha] says, “Bingo.”

 

[Serena] says, “When we got back, I heard from Kirito…my Kazuto that after they ‘woke up’, they found that our Suguha was missing from the one that she was in.”

 

[Asuna] says, “Suguha’s parents were in a panic. They just got back Kirito-kun and now, they lost Suguha-chan.”

 

[Serena] says, “We had to leave it to the girls since we were on the ‘road to recovery’ for the next few to several months.”

 

Serena says, with a nod of understanding, “I know how you feel.”

 

{Darien} says, “Trista felt that there was a temporal distortion, so, we knew that Suguha was dragged into another dimension or universe, but Trista couldn’t pinpoint it what world she was taken at all.”

 

Trista says, “And attempting to find her at random is liking looking for a ‘needle in a haystack’ as the saying goes.”

 

[Trista] says, “Indeed. It wasn’t only a message from someone that brought us to this timeline, we wouldn’t be here.”

 

Suguha says, “I’ve got a few ideas on who did that.”

 

Plenty of the others nod their heads in agreement and [Asuna] says, “Anyway, we should get ready to go home soon. Kirito-kun and the others know what’s going on and they are expecting us home soon.”

 

[Suguha] says, “I guess that I let my family worry long enough.”

 

[Lita] says, with a nod and smile, “You got that right, girlfriend.”

 

Ange says, with a sigh and smile, “Anyway, thanks for everything.”

 

Tusk says, with a nod, “Yeah, you’re help was great.”

 

Suguha says, with a grin, “No problem. It is what we do.”

 

Davis says, with a sly smile, “Now, let’s enjoy this party before Vivian eats up everything!”

 

Vivian says, excitedly, “It isn’t my fault that this food is awesome!” There are plenty of laughs from that comment and the groups continue the enjoy the party as Ange and her group with [Suguha] and her group from her world prepare to head back to their Earth.

 

May 1, 2026, Kamen Rider Lunar’s Earth, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

 

Back on the Earth of Kamen Rider Lunar, [Darien] and Dark are discussing about something when Nanaya brings up some paperwork.

 

Dark asks, “What is it, Nanaya?”

 

Nanaya says, handing the paperwork to Dark, “A report from the alternate timeline.”

 

[Darien] asks, “Which one?”

 

Nanaya looks at [Darien] and she says, “The one’s parallel to the one that we just got booted out from.” [Darien] glares at Nanaya while Dark takes the paperwork and looks at it in which [Darien] looks over Dark’s shoulder causing his eyes to widen at what he sees.

 

Dark says, “So, it is confirmed.”

 

Nanaya says, with a nod, “That Sailor Celestial has returned.”

 

[Darien] says, shocked, “I still can’t believe it!”

 

Dark says, with a nod, “Understandable. It is pretty unbelievable, but you and the others have returned from death’s door before.”

 

[Darien] says, “Yeah, we were revived immediately after the final battle is over, but this has been dead for about a month!”

 

Nanaya says, “Your Meatball Head and her Scouts have been dead for longer and you used the power of Sailor Celestial to revive them.”

 

[Darien] says, “Point taken, but her power had to be focused and this was reviving someone else with her power. This is HER getting revived.”

 

Dark says, with a nod, “Yes. And it means that she didn’t come back from death’s door without some kind of help.”

 

Nanaya says, with a smile, “And it might be worth returning to that timeline.”

 

[Darien] asks, “Have you gone crazy? Did you read this report?”

 

Nanaya says, “Of course.”

 

[Darien] says, “Then you should know that this Sailor Celestial is even more powerful than ever before. We’ve had enough problems with the ‘regular’ Valkyrie Sailor Celestial, but this ‘upgraded’ or ‘complete’ form of Valkyrie Sailor Scout turns her into OP character seen in manga or anime!”

 

Dark says, with a nod, “Very true. Very true. However, you should take a closer look on these reports.” Dark then shows [Darien] one paper from the paperwork report and [Darien’s] eyes grow wide.

 

[Darien] asks, “You’re kidding?”

 

Dark says, shaking his head, “They aren’t. The way that this Sailor Celestial revived may be the key to immortality.”

 

[Darien] says, “Maybe, but she may be far more trouble that she is worth. Remember, these Sailor Scouts are stronger than the ones that ones that we just faced.”

 

Nanaya says, with a smile, “Very true, but we aren’t going to make the same mistakes. This time, we are going to use tactics that ninja would be proud of.”

 

Dark says, “And we may have potential allies.”

 

[Darien] asks, sarcastically, “Like Embryo?”

 

Nanaya says, with a plain tone, “Understandable skepticism.”

 

Dark says, “However, we should discuss this later. With Lunar and the others return to this universe, I have a sneak ‘suspicion’ that they have vast organization that not even Lunar realizes, and we need to prepare our defenses.”

 

[Darien] says, with a nod, “You got that right.”

 

Nanaya says, “Anyway, your ‘lover’ should be ‘inspired’ since most likely, your daughter will be with them.”

 

[Darien] says, his eyes narrowing, “And you can be assured that we will get her back.”

 

Dark tells [Darien], “Easy, my friend. If you get emotional, you will give our enemies the advantage.”

 

[Darien] says, plainly, “Understood.” [Darien] then walks away and when he is gone, Dark and Nanaya look at each other.

 

Nanaya says, “He is too emotional.”

 

Dark says, “After the way that he was made a fool of, you can’t blame him, but you have a point.”

 

Nanaya asks, “What shall we do?”

 

Dark says, “Keep a close eye on him.”

 

Nanaya says, with a nod, “Understood.”

 

May 1, 2026, Earth, Tokyo, Juuban District

 

It is nighttime in the Juuban District where we find Sammy Tsukino and looking up into the clear night sky before he looks down at a box in which he opens it up revealing five familiar Power Coins as Sammy remembers how he got them.

 

Flashback, April 30, 2026, World of Mana

 

Within the World of Mana, in the immediate aftermath of the final fight with Embryo, our heroes and heroines are assembled together where Sailor Moon looks at Sammy in shock as he removes his helmet to his face to everyone.

 

Sailor Moon tells Sammy, shocked, “Sammy? But how? Why?”

 

Yolei says, “You know, something tells me that this would have happened.”

 

Hawkmon asks, “How so, Yolei?”

 

Sailor Uranus says, “Most likely, it is due to that Dragon Dagger that got absorbed into his body.”

 

Sailor Mercury says, scanning Sammy with her visor, “Sammy has adapted to the power that went inside of him.”

 

Sailor Moon asks, flabbergasted, “You have got to be kidding me?”

 

Davis says, “I don’t think that this is a joke, Moon girl.”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “Well, thanks to Sammy, he helped Ange and me get out of there allowing us to break the crap out of Embryo.”

 

Sammy says, with a grin, “You got that right.”

 

*Sailor Celestial* asks, “Really?”

 

Ange says, with a sigh, “Yep. I’ve got to admit that he gave us a hand out there.”

 

*Sailor Celestial* says, “Well, if that’s the case…” *Sailor Celestial* takes out a case and he gives it to Sammy causing him to look in shock as he opens it to reveal the Power Coins from the ‘doppelganger Power Rangers’ that *Sailor Celestial* defeated.

 

Sammy says, amazed, “Whoa!”

 

Sailor Celestial says, “These are…!!”

 

Kamen Rider Kuro says, “My Sugu took care of those ‘clone Sentai’ and took those to make sure that UNI-SHOCKER couldn’t make anymore.”

 

*Sailor Celestial* says, “I didn’t know what to do with them, but I think that they are left best in your hands.”

 

Sailor Moon and Kamen Rider Lunar say in unison, shocked, “What?!”

 

Sailor Moon looks at Kamen Rider Lunar in surprise and Kamen Rider Lunar says, “I didn’t have a choice to gain my powers! My Meatball Head turned me into a cyborg and Kamen Rider to save my life, keep my freedom, and give me and my world a chance against UNI-SHOCKER! He has a choice on this!”

 

Kamen Rider Kuro says, with a nod, “True, but I think that your counterpart has already made his choice.” Everyone looks at Sammy and he shows a determined look in his eyes in which Sailor Moon shows quite a bit of distress as she sees that determined look in his eyes as he closes the box containing the Power Coins.

 

End Flashback; Return to the Present

 

As Sammy looks at the box containing the Power Coins, a familiar female voice asks, “Penny for your thoughts?” Sammy yelps and he turns to the source of the voice to see Valkyrie Sailor Moon flying down.

 

Sammy yells out, annoyed, “Watch it, Meatball Head! Are you turning into that Goth American manga hero?”

 

Sailor Moon says, annoyed, “No way!”

 

Sammy tells Sailor Moon, “Anyway, I don’t think that you are here for a casual talk.”

 

Sailor Moon asks, “What makes you say that?”

 

Sammy tells Sailor Moon, “Meatball Head, I’m not a little kid anymore.”

 

Sailor Moon tells Sammy, with a smirk, “You are still going to be that squirt that I know.”

 

Sammy says, rolling his eyes, “Geez!”

 

Sailor Moon tells Sammy, plainly, “Sammy…”

 

Sammy tells Sailor Moon, “So, what’s the problem of having another superhero in the family…Well, the Earth family.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Squirt, I didn’t have a choice…”

 

Sammy tells Sailor Moon, “Funny, Trista said that even a ‘predestined destiny’ has a choice: The choice to step forward to accept that destiny.”

 

Sailor Moon says, “Much of a choice. Accept the power and the responsibility that comes with it or let evil world-conquering or world-destroying jerks take all that you love and cherish into the void. You may have a point, but I had a responsibility due to my ‘heritage’. You don’t have that burden on your heart or soul like the girls or me, squirt. The power was a part of me since the day that I was born as your sister. My ‘royal mother’, Queen Serenity-mama, hoped and prayed that I could have a ‘regular life’, but kept Luna ready to awaken me as Sailor Moon, the first Sailor Moon since the first Moon Queen, to ensure that evil sealed away during the Silver Millennium, the Negaverse, if it ever returns doesn’t destroy Earth like it did the Silver Millennium. As Sailor Moon, I just don’t represent Earth’s moon…I represent all of the moons for every planet that has a moon in the universe. The moon reflects the light of the sun in the night and that’s my ‘purpose’. I’m the light of life in the shadow of the night. Sammy, you don’t have a heritage like that. You don’t have any obligation to anyone.”

 

Sammy yells out, “So, what?!”

 

Sailor Moon shouts out, strongly, “You just don’t get it, do you?!” Sammy flinches from her sister’s tone and Sailor Moon says, seriously, “You think that it is going to be easy?! Just transform and access your ‘incredible super-powers’ and the villains are going to get knocked just by the sight of you! That’s not how it works!” Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “I learned that lesson the hard way in my time as Sailor Moon and even after all of my battles, I was still naïve.”

 

Sammy asks, confused, “What?”

 

Sailor Moon says, solemnly, “Actually, my time as Sailor Moon made me…overconfident. Before what happened during ‘that’, I guess that I felt that if a new enemy comes around, all I have to do is fight them with all my heart and soul, believing in what I believe in, and even if this enemy causes wide-spread devastation or even if my friends and loved ones ‘fall’, at the end of the battle, everything will end up all right since it has happened before. Darien, Mina, Raye, Lita, Ami, and I died in our final battle with Beryl and Metallia and we came back, I saved helped Hotaru be reborn after Pharaoh 90, and everyone was revived after I freed Galaxia from her possession by Chaos. No matter how bad that the battle is, everything would be all right in the end. SAO changed everything for me.”

 

Sammy says, plainly, “Serena…”

 

Sailor Moon says, “In SAO, I was completely without my powers and many times that not, I wished that I had my powers.” Sailor Moon laughs bitterly, and she says, “Ironic, since I had wished that I wasn’t Sailor Moon and I wasn’t a ‘regular girl’. In SAO, despite being so famous, I was just a ‘regular player’ and I wished that I was my ‘superhero self’ with the power to save everyone. But then again, Kirito…Kazuto brought up a point that I never forgot: Not even Sailor Moon can save everyone. The point is, in SAO, I pushed myself the hardest that the game would allow to save everyone and I…I couldn’t save anyone. And I knew that after SAO was over, they weren’t coming back! Yuuna-san might have regained her life, but she is the EXCEPTION, not the rule! Sammy, if you think that you can go into this and you are going to save everyone, think again! I’ve learned that I CAN’T save everyone and that everything won’t be all right all the time!”

 

Sammy asks, sarcastically, “Then why fight at all?”

 

Sailor Moon responds, “That’s because if I don’t, who will? I may not be able to save everyone, and everything doesn’t turn out ‘all right’ the whole thing, but it is a lot better than the alternative! Because if you don’t do everything in your power to try to save everyone, who will save them? Who will protect them? I have the responsibility since I have the power…!!”

 

Sammy retorts, interrupting with a serious tone, “Doesn’t that mean that I have the same responsibility since I have the power, now, too?! And before you say anything, you never wanted your power, but now, you have it and the responsibility, so, doesn’t that apply to me too?!”

 

Sailor Moon flinches from Sammy’s tone and she then says, “I’m just saying that you don’t go into this thinking that you are just going to leap in there and you will save all the people all of the time just like that! While it doesn’t mean that you don’t do your upmost best to make sure that everyone is safe, you can’t think that things are going to go like an anime or manga!”

 

Sammy responds, sternly, “Don’t you think that I know that Meatball Head?!”

 

Sailor Moon gives a sigh and she asks, “You aren’t going to back down, are you?”

 

Sammy retorts, “What do you think Meatball Head?”

 

Sailor Moon gives a sigh and she says, “Okay, squirt, I am being selfish. I don’t want you or my family getting hurt by my ‘heritage’ any more than you have. You can’t imagine what I went through in there and I didn’t see their ‘actual’ deaths, I could only imagine how they died…when the NervGear fried their brain. Suguha already knows since that memory is already scarred into her mind. I am as much Serena Tsukino as Sailor Moon and Princess Serenity and if anything happened to you…”

 

Sammy tells Sailor Moon, “Well, Meatball Head, it isn’t just about you. Or have you forgotten that Kayaba was much my uncle and mom’s brother as much as your dad in your previous life as a princess?” Sammy tells Sailor Moon, “And don’t you think that we were suffering just as much as you did? Seeing you lying in a bed and slowly whither away in which any day that you could end up in a coffin with your brain fried? Don’t you think that we felt so much helplessness that it was crushing?” Sailor Moon flinches from Sammy’s tone and Sammy says, “I get that you aren’t the same Meatball Head and you are still rebuilding yourself from what happened ‘back there’, but it has affected us as much as you. Since I have the power, now, I’m going to make sure that no one will have to go through what I did during SAO or even worse.” Sammy then walks away from Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon can’t help to get a concerned look in her eyes while overlooking the whole scene is none other than Tuxedo Mask with a plain look on his face as he turns behind him to see someone wearing a classic black ninja-style outfit coming out of the shadows.

 

[Sailor Celestial’s] Earth, Tokyo, Dicey Café, May 2025

 

Within the Earth of [Sailor Celestial], we find [Kazuto], [Rika], [Keiko], [Kotone], [Ryoutarou], and the [Digidestined], minus [Davis] and [Kari], and their Digimon partners, minus [Veemon], waiting inside with [Andrew] coming into the room.

 

[Rika] tells [Kazuto], with a smile, “Come on, you know that they are okay.”

 

[Kazuto] says, “I know.” Just then they hear the door open in which everyone looks to see [Davis], [Veemon], [Kari], {Darien}, and the [Sailor Scouts], in their civilian forms, enter the room.

 

[Asuna] says, with a smile, “We’re back, Kirito-kun.” All of them move aside causing [Suguha] to walk forward.

 

[Suguha] says, with a smile, “Hey, big brother.” [Kazuto] walks over and hug [Suguha] in which she hugs her brother back.

 

[Kotone] asks, “So, that’s Leafa-chan in real life?”

 

[Keiko] says, “She’s pretty.”

 

[Rika] says, with a grin, “She wasn’t kidding that she said that she was different than from her avatar.” [Rika] says, looking between [Keiko] and [Suguha], “Expect for one area…” [Rika] smirks at [Keiko] and she blushes like mad with [Asuna] and [Kotone] giving nervous laughs while [Suguha] gives a plain nervous expression knowing what [Rika] is talking about.

 

Just then a familiar female voice calls out, “Is this a private party and can anyone join?” Everyone then looks to see Ange, Momoka, Hilda, Rosalie, Chris, Tusk, Vivian, and Lamia enter the room.

 

[Ryoutarou] says, excitedly, “Whoa, mama!”

 

[Rika] says, shaking her head at [Ryoutarou], “Oh, brother!”

 

[Kazuto] asks, “Who are these people?”

 

[Serena] tells [Kazuto], “You are going to need to sit down.”

 

[Suguha] says, with a smile, “It is a long story, big brother.”

 

[Kazuto] says, with a grin, “Something tells me that it is.” Soon enough, [Suguha] introduces Ange, Momoka, Hilda, Rosalie, Chris, Tusk, Vivian, and Lamia to her brother and the other [SAO survivors] as [Suguha] explains about what happened to her and her adventures up to the point that she has returned home.
