Sailor Moon Shippuden GT: Grand Tour

Prologue: Remembering the Swords of Past and Present

Right now, we are on a world known as Gaea and on that world, there is a place known as the Elemental Countries where there are people known as ninjas, people with the ability to harness a biological energy known as chakra to perform what we call super-human feats, and right now, a whole army of ninja are watching an incredible sight as the first person to weld chakra in their world, Kaguya Otsutsuki, known as the ‘Rabbit Goddess’ or ‘Oni’, and who is the mother of a legendary figure known as Six Path Sage, Hagoromo Otsutsuki, attempting to defeat one Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, reincarnation of Hagoromo’s younger son, Asura, and ancestor to his ninja clan, the Uzumaki clan, a clan known for their long lives and sealing jutsu prowess, welding his incredible cosmic form of Six Path Cosmos Sage Mode (A/N: Refer to Sailor Moon Shippuden: New Moon Ninja Chapter 9 for detailed description.) along with a powerful Sailor Soldier known as Sailor Cosmos, the ultimate Sailor Soldier form of Sailor Moon with aid from Sasuke Uchiha, the reincarnation of Hagoromo’s older son, the ancestor of the Uchiha clan, Indra.

They witness as they use a powerful weapon, the Star Saber, and the power of the Sage’s chakra to defeat Kaguya, but then Naruto, upon learning of Sasuke’s plans, prepare to fight Sasuke with Sailor Cosmos’ help only to get wounded by Madara, who still retains the power of the Ten-Tails AKA Kaguya’s ‘Biju form’ for some reason. Sailor Cosmos takes on Sasuke and Madara in a battle royal between the three of them and gets injured. However, Naruto recovers and ascended to a new level of power, Six Path ASTRAL Sage Mode and gains a powerful dojutsu, Omniegan, which is a combination the three most powerful dojutsu or eye techniques of the Elemental Countries, the Sharingan, the eyes of the Uchiha clan, the Byakugan, the dojutsu of the Hyuga clan, and the Rinnegan, the eyes of Hagoromo himself of which Kaguya also welds as the first the weld both the Byakugan and Rinnegan, in which her Rinnegan has all the powers of the Sharingan as well.

In an incredible one-sided fight, Naruto beats both Sasuke and Madara and impaling Madara with the Star Saber, but Black Zetsu, a creature created from the ‘will’ of Kaguya, and is the reason the Ten-Tails has been purified of Kaguya’s ‘influence’, attempts to use the power of the Ten-Tails to destroy both Gaea and Earth, Sailor Cosmos’ home world, but Naruto and Sailor Cosmos use the full power of the Cosmos Crystal to stop this and also restore the planet and the lives taken by the evil plans of Kaguya/Black Zetsu and Madara.

At that moment, we find ourselves in the bedroom of a young man of 18-19 years of age with spiky red hair and brown eyes wakes up and sits himself up with a groan in which a small blue and white anthropomorphic dragon-like creature with ruby red eyes and a yellow ‘V’ on his forehead looks up at him.

The blue dragon-like creature asks, “What’s up, Davis?”

The young man responds, “The same dream again.”

The blue dragon-like creature asks, “Wow! How long have been dreaming this?”

The young man says, “Since that giant tree was rampaging in our home over two years ago, Veemon.”

The blue dragon-like creature asks, “Maybe you should tell the others about it.”

The young man says, “They are going to think that I’m nuts, Veemon.”

The blue dragon-like creature responds, “Ken and Kari wouldn’t.”

The young man, Daisuke ‘Davis’ Motomiya, age 18-19, says, with a nod, “I know, buddy. But they already have enough on their plate. I mean, they just got free from that virtual prison that nutjob, Kayaba-teme, put them known as SAO in which they were trapped along with Yolei, Cody, and close to ten thousand other people including two of the Sailor Scouts for two long years. And remember, nearly four thousand of that teme’s victims died in there. Even through some of them weren’t innocent due to them being PK assholes, most of them were good people that never got to see their families, friends, and the people that they care about ever again. They didn’t even get to say goodbye.”

The blue dragon-like creature, Davis’ Digimon partner, Veemon, responds, with a solemn nod, “Yeah. Not to mention three hundred of the survivors were trapped for two more months thanks to guy that wanted to perfect brainwashing and mind control.”

Davis says, with a nod, “Sick son of a bastard, I know, buddy. But Kirito, I mean Kazuto-san and I managed to ‘dive in’ with Kazuto using the NervGear and with me using Virtualization take out Nobuyuki-teme and managed to get him charged with so many crimes that he is going to spend the rest of his life in prison. We also made absolutely certain that his research was completely destroyed after his trial ended.”

Veemon says, with a smile, “Couldn’t have happened to a better guy, Davis.”

Davis says, with a grin, “Got that right, buddy.”

Davis leaps from his bed and starts to get dressed in which he is wearing an outfit similar to Marcus Damon’s DATS/Data Squad outfit and Veemon asks, curiously, “Are you going THERE, Davis?”

Davis gives a sigh and he says, “Yeah.”

Veemon tells Davis, “Davis, you can’t blame yourself. You did what you could for our fellow Digidestined and those people.”

Davis responds, “I don’t blame myself, buddy.” Davis says, clenching his fist, “I blame those worthless piece of trash for that. Most of them didn’t have anything to do with the Data Squad or even the original Digidestined. They were just newbies and their Digimon partners just arrived.”

Veemon tells Davis, as he sheds a few tears, “And a lot more would have died if it wasn’t for you, Davis. You are a hero.”

Davis responds, “No, buddy. I’m not a hero. I’m a survivor.” Davis then gets to his feet, opens the door, and leaves the room in which Veemon follows him.

Veemon thinks in his mind, “Tai, Kari, Ken, and so many others think so, Davis. And I know so.”

(On the meanwhile; Elsewhere)

Within another district of Tokyo, there is a blond haired young woman of 18-19 years of age with long flowing blond hair with a red bow on the top center portion of the rear of her scalp, lovely blue eyes, and pink colored lips.

With this young woman, there is another young woman of the same age of the blond, but she is a tall teenage girl with wavy brown hair tied up into a ponytail with a holder, green eyes, pink colored lips, and wears pink rose earrings.

These two young women are in wheelchairs in which the blond haired young woman is being welded by a lovely youthful woman through she looks to be middle-aged with the same blond hair and blue while a black haired man with glasses in front of his eyes is pulling the wheelchair for the tall young lady with brown wavy hair.

The young blond tells the ‘elder blond’, “Mom, we aren’t invalids!”

The ‘elder blond’ tells the young blond, “It has only been slightly over two months since you got out of that awful SAO, Mina, sweetie! I don’t care how much you say that you can do! How can you become a success if you push yourself too hard? Until I am absolutely sure that you have fully recovered, I am not letting you or your good friend injury yourself! You have yet to become a successful idol and I’m not going to let yourself get killed just after you survived that… ‘death game’! I am never allowing near anymore games ever again!”

The young blond responds, “Geez, mom, it was just one nut!”

The ‘elder blond’ shouts out, “Just one nut?! Mina-chan, did you hear what happened to the last three hundred victims that managed to get free with help from Data Squad? Some insane nutjob in an electronics corporation was trying to use what that monster, Kayaba, put you and all of those other victims through in experiments in mind control and brainwashing! And one of his victims was his boss’ own daughter!”

The brown haired young woman says, “We know, Mrs. Aino. However, there are a lot of non-virtual games like at the Crown Arcade! We played them all the time before this and we didn’t get ‘suck in’ there.”

The black haired male says, “Sweetie, Lita has a point. Those games in the arcade don’t use NervGear and playing Duel Monsters isn’t dangerous while it is really realistic.”

The ‘elder blond’ says, with a sigh, “Fine. But I am destroying that piece of junk or giving it to the police and Data Squad to get rid of. I don’t want it in my house or anywhere near my Mina-chan!”

The brown haired young woman says, with a kind smile, “I think that Mina-chan and I will stick to regular console games and arcades for a while, Mrs. Aino.” The younger blond, none other than Mina Aino/Sailor Venus, age 18-19, nods her head in agreement with the brown haired young woman, Lita Kino/Sailor Jupiter, age 18-19. The two of them are wheeled into a restaurant/café known as Crown Fruit Parlor and all of them find a bannister that says ‘Welcome home’ in multiple colors and Mina’s and Lita’s friends, the Sailor Scouts, Ami/Sailor Mercury, age 18-19, Raye/Sailor Mars, age 18-19, Amara/Sailor Uranus, age 20-21, Michelle/Sailor Neptune, age 20-21, Trista/Sailor Pluto, who is centuries in age, but looks to be in her late twenties, and Hotaru/Sailor Saturn, age 16-17, along with various other people, including Molly Baker, best friend to Serena Tsukino/Sailor Moon, age 18-19, Andrew Foreman, Andrew’s younger sister, Elizabeth "Lizzie" Furuhata, age 18-19, and various other people.

They say in unison, “Surprise!”

Molly says, “Welcome home, you two!”

Mina says, excitedly, “Oh, wow! A party for us!”

Mina prepares to get up, but the ‘elder blond’, her mother, Mrs. Aino, tells her, “Sit down in that wheelchair, Mina! You aren’t going to get yourself hurt until I know that you will be just fine!”

Mina says, with a sigh, “Mom…”

The black haired male, Mina’s father, Mr. Aino, says, “But her friends say that her powers…”

Mrs. Aino glares at her husband and she says, “Quiet, you! Do you want everyone around us to hear you?!”

Andrew tells Mrs. Aino, with a warm smile, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Aino. The Fruit Parlor is closed for this private party and I’ve made sure to close the arcade for the day too.”

Elizabeth says, with a smile, “Yeah! We haven’t seen two of our best friends for two years, at least in body AND mind! The people understood immediately when we told them that two of our friends are survivors of the SAO incident.”

Molly says, with a smile, “We’re all glad that you are safe and sound! Serena…” Just then the room became solemn for many of the people.

Ami tells Molly, with a weak smile, “We, all, miss her, Molly.”

Andrew says, “I just couldn’t believe that Serena is Sailor Moon and Darien was that Tuxedo Mask character as well as her boyfriend for when she was an alien princess.”

Molly says, solemnly, “It is… so horrible that he died and leaving Serena so heartbroken and now, she is in deep sleep and who knows when she will wake up.”

Amara says, “It makes me wonder if we are worthy to call ourselves our princess guardians.”

Luna, a black talking feline, leaps up and she says, “Don’t say that! Serena wouldn’t want all of you being depressed!” Luna says, with a sigh, “Through I wish I could follow Serena’s will like that. I doubted her and she has proven again and again to be a true Sailor Soldier. But in the last battle that she fought, the price was too high.”

Lita asks, curiously, “How is she?”

Raye responds, “The same as always, Lita. She is still in the healing chamber in the Moon Kingdom ruins with Naruto. Trista and Naruto’s father, Minato-dono, keep checking up on them and Queen Serenity feels that they are going to awaken soon, but she can’t be absolutely sure when that will be.”

Mina asks, “Is she any different?”

Ami says, “Their bodies aren’t suffering like typical coma patents thanks to the properties of the healing chambers. They are like in suspended animation expect they will age the years that they are in the healing chambers.”

Trista says, “However, due to the vast new powers that she gained thanks to Naruto sharing his purified version, her body is ‘adapting’ to the various changes that chakra is causing her causing her body to be much more ‘mature’.”

There are surprised looks by Mina and Lita and Mina asks, “Mature?”

Hotaru says, with a blush, “Serenity-hime’s physical body is very lovely especially in *cough* certain areas.”

Lita says, amazed, “Wow.”

Amara says, with a plain tone, “Over two years since that battle and it has been a never-ending set of troubles.”

Raye says, “No joke, Amara. Within a year, there has been an increase in youma and ever since Kaguya’s attack on Earth, these ‘rogue Digidestined’ have been causing more than enough trouble to last lifetimes in which the ‘Digimon Data Squad’, the United Nations organization that’s supposed to be a ‘police force’ in Digimon crimes and handling ‘Digital World affairs’, are getting swamped.”

Molly says, “I heard that they are getting turned into a military organization due to the latest world-wide attacks.”

Lita asks, shocked, “Are you serious?”

Raye says, “Yep! I heard from my dad.”

Mina asks Raye, “You talked to your dad?”

Raye says, with a sigh and an annoyed tone, “Don’t remind me, Mina. It was the only way to get information on what’s going on with what they were doing during the whole SAO mess. Lately, due to the fact that Data Squad was a vital help in helping you, Lita-chan, and all of the other survivors get out of SAO, they are being merged with Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications and other departments dealing with ‘cyber affairs’ to create the brand new Ministry of Digital and Virtual Affairs. They are also still under the Ministry of Homeland Security which Japan created after America was attached on Nine-Eleven and with what just happened, the military has put under a new branch of the military known as the Japanese Self-Defense Digital Forces which has made Data Squad, at least here in Japan, not only a ‘police force’, but they are a branch of our military forces.”

Lita says, amazed, “Geez!”

Mina says, “And I thought that we had problems.”

Ami says, “Well, you have to remember that when the knowledge of the Digital World and the Digidestined became public after that battle between Digimon that are known as Omnimon, Imperialdramon, and Armageddemon, people became afraid of the destruction potential of Digimon and they weren’t sure about having ‘children’ that are partner up with Digimon, Digidestined, who were growing in number every single day, protecting the human race. When these ‘rogues’, the Shadow and Dark Digidestined, made their appearance, it just made things worse. The Digidestined all over the world had to negotiate on behave of all good and decent Digimon including their Digimon partners and the Digital World in which Data Squad was formed to take care rogue Digimon and ‘rogue Digidestined’ as well. In order to make sure that one nation doesn’t ‘monopolize’ the Digidestined and their partners that went into Data Squad, this organization was made into a United Nations run organization making them an ‘arm’ of the United Nations.”

Raye says, “And under the yoke of people like my father.”

Mina says, amazed, “Geez, Raye! You still haven’t talked to your father!”

Raye says, “If you knew THAT MAN, you wouldn’t talk to him either unless your friends’ lives were at stake, Mina-chan.”

Just then another blond haired young woman of 18 to 19 years of age with her lighter blond hair tied up in a ponytail and one of the bangs covering her right eye and only have an exposed blue pupiless eye responds, “Hey! Hey! This is supposed to be a party!”

A young man of 19-20 years of age with black bowl cut hair and large eyebrows responds, “Yosh! Our friends have just unrecovered from the evil actions of that unyouthful monster, Kayaba, has put them through! Let them enjoy themselves and be glad for their safe return home and recovery!”

A young woman of 19-20 years of age with brown hair tied up in two buns and brown eyes says, “Lee is right, everyone! We were here to enjoy ourselves! Let’s not talk about the depressing stuff!”

Mina the bun haired woman, with a smile, “Yeah, you’re right, Tenten-chan!”

Lita tells the lighter blond haired woman, “You have really gotten use to life here on Earth, Ino!”

The lighter blond haired woman responds, “You know it, girlfriend! This place is just incredible! It feels like that I’m a mini-Leaf Village when I’m at the mall and you have got some awesome dresses! And the sweetest health food and drinks that a girl can really go for!”

The bun haired woman, Tenten, says, with a smile, “Not surprising that Ino would feel like she was in paradise.”

The lighter blond haired woman, Ino, retorts, with a grin, “So says the gal that was drooling at the weapon’s display at the museums!”

Tenten replies, blushing, “I wasn’t drooling!”

Just then a young man of 19-20 years with spiky, brown hair and swirl marks on his cheeks says, excitedly, “Yeah! And the food is just beyond awesome!”

Ino tells the young man, “I’m not surprised that you would be interested in the food, Choji!”

Mina says, looking around, “Some of your group is missing.”

A young woman of 19-20 years with dark blue hair waist long hair in a hime cut and pupiless lavender-white eyes says, “Kakashi-sensei, Sai, Kurenai-sensei, Kiba, Shino, and Guy-sensei are with Ryu-dono and Hayate-dono discussing some things.”

Lita asks, “How is Kakashi anyway?”

Ino says, “He is okay considering that his team has broken apart again due to what happened…” Ino then stop and become solemn in which Hinata becomes solemn too.

Mina says, with a smile, “Hey, Hinata-chan! Naruto is going to be all right! He is sleeping like a baby in our princess’ former kingdom and when our princess is up, Naruto will be up too!”

The dark blue haired woman says, solemnly, “I know, Mina.”

Ino tells dark blue haired woman, with a grin, “Come on, Hinata. Naruto isn’t going to change one single bit! I mean, he became the one of the most powerful beings in the universe and he might considered a true ‘Kami no Shinobi’ of our world since he is the named successor to the legendary Six Path Sage, but he is still Naruto! And he is going to be just fine! He has got eight big bad Biju guarding him and his new princess friend around the clock and there hasn’t been one asshole that dared to try to get him!”

Choji says, “No joke, Hinata! Naruto may be a big shot now, but he is still Naruto!”

Hinata says, with a nod and a smile, “I know, Choji.”

Lita says, “We all miss him. He may have been with us for only a few weeks, but Naruto is our friend too, Hinata. But he’ll be back someday and he wouldn’t want us to be so sad.”

Mina says, excitedly, “Let’s party!”

Ino says, with a nod, “Yeah!”

Amara says, with a smile, “I’m fine with that!”

Soon enough, the party continued on in earnest and everyone was enjoying themselves, but Ino asks them, “By the way, I’m sorry, but I’ve got to know! How did that whole ‘virtual world’ experience feel? Was it like when we were under the Infinite Tsukuyomi?”

Tenten says, annoyed, “Ino!”

Lita says, “Easy, Tenten. Ino doesn’t know what it was like, so, she can’t help to be curious.”

Mina says, with a solemn smile, “Yeah, you could say it was like, but it felt more like a living breathing nightmare. I can’t stop thinking about that first day.”

Lita says, with a nod, “I know, Mina. We were both excited that we had gotten the limited ten thousand copies of Sword Art Online and the NervGear to go with it. We logged in and started to have fun, but then we found out that the log out button was missing and we found ourselves within the main square of the Town of Beginnings. These mirrors came out and our virtual avatars change to look exactly as we did, here. We are stunned and a bit disgusted that there were male players that played as girls.”

Raye says, interrupting, “Okay, a little TMI, Lita-chan.”

Mina says, with a giggle, “Sorry, but then that faceless version of Kayaba then appeared and it began our two year nightmare.” Mina and Lita become solemn and start to shiver involuntary as the horrible memory resurfaces.

Flashback; Over two years ago

Within a virtual world known as Sword Art Online, a game that uses a device as NervGear to basically ‘download’ the human mind into the ‘cyber world’, we are in a place in this ‘digital world’ known as the Town of Beginnings where thousands of people, players of the game, are assembled in the main square as a skyscraper sized figure with a red cloak and hood, identifying himself as Akihiko Kayaba, explaining to the players that they couldn’t log out from the game and no one could remove the NervGear from them in which any attempt would kill them due to a device that would destroy the wearer’s brain and end their life. To prove his point, the being that identifies himself as Kayaba displays news reports about 213 deaths that have already happened due to attempts to remove the NervGear from them despite warning that already given via the media. To further prove his point, he put a mirror item in their item inventory that when activated ‘transformers’ to players into exactly what they look like in the real world which is shock to some people more than others.

Mina and Lita, both still around 16-17 years of age and dressed in ‘starter clothing and gear’ with Mina having a dagger and Lita having an axe strapped to her back are shocked and Mina yells out, “Lita, you look like you do in the real world!”

Lita says, stunned, “You, too, Mina-chan!”

They look at each other in the mirrors and Mina asks, “Lita-chan, do you think what that guy said?”

Lita tells Mina, glaring at the figure, “I think so, Mina-chan. He is doing all this to prove a point. Somehow, the NervGear is able to replicate exactly what we look like in the real world! He isn’t joking, Mina!” Mina and Lita then listen in as Kayaba explains that his only goal was to control the fate of a world of his design and this whole situation was his goal in the first place in which he vanishes and the whole ‘scene’ returns to normal.

Mina thinks in his mind, horrified, “All he wanted to do was trap us in this… ‘death game’ and play around with our lives like some kind of deity or something. This guy is just as horrible as any evil villain that we have faced including Kaguya, who thanks to her and Madara jerk that helped her revival, our princess is still suck sleeping in a deep sleep with Naruto and who knows when they will ever wake up!” The whole area is silent for about a minute, but when the full realization comes in, the majority of the people scream and panic.

Lita says, with a snarl, “That sick fuck!” Lita then grabs Mina’s hand when she realizes the barrier trapping them in the plaza is gone and she says, “Come on, Mina-chan!” Mina yelps as Lita drags her over into an alleyway.

Mina says, “This guy is just sick! He puts us in this death game so he can play some kind of deity or something!”

Lita says, “I know, Mina-chan! I know! However, this is the guy that created the NervGear and this game! Something tells me that he isn’t playing around.”

Mina says, with a nod, “Yeah, I know. Since I’m still here, my parents and the others must know what’s going on.”

Lita says, nodding her head, “They must have seen the reports already and they are getting us to facilities to keep our bodies safe. Knowing Ami-chan, she is going to examine the NervGear and start to get to work on finding a way to contact us first and then figure out a way to get us out of this trap!”

Mina says, with a smile, “Yeah, Ami-chan, can do it!”

Lita says, “Yeah, but this guy is a genius too, remember? He created all of this.”

Mina says, with a nod, “I know, but we have our own genius on our side! I know that she’ll get us out!”

Lita says, with a nod, “You’re right, Mina. But right now, we need to survive here until Ami-chan figures out a way out for us and everyone else.”

Mina says, with a serious tone, “I know. In a game like this, there is only a limited amount of money and experience to go around and most likely, we are going to need all of that we can get to survive.”

Lita says, nodding her head, “And once it is settled in that we are trapped and the only way out is the way that nutjob says, the other players are going to pick this place clean. Since the majority of them are all new, they are going to probably stay around here for the time being and that means that we need to set up base somewhere else.”

Mina says, agreeing with her friend, “Yeah, we need to find the next town and set up base there for a while.”

Lita gets out a virtual map from a screen and she says, pointing to the map, “This is where we are and that’s the closest town that we can get it too.”

Mina says, excitedly, “Hold on! There were one thousand beta testers, here, right?! We should ask them for help since they know the game best!”

Lita says, “I’m not sure that’s a good idea, Mina-chan. They were most likely that jerk’s ‘lab rats’ to get out the knicks and stuff from the game and that’s why they were allowed to log out during that time.”

Mina says, with a nod of understanding, “To prepare for this: The ‘final product’.”

Lita says, “It is very likely that Kayaba might have altered the game in ways that even the levels that they cleared before are way different than before.”

Mina says, with a nod, “Yeah, good point. And with human nature, they are just as scared and confused as we are.”

Lita tells Mina, with a smile, “We’ll get out here. Our friends won’t let us down and they won’t stop fighting until we are home.”

Mina says, with a grin, “Yeah!”

Lita says, “Anyway, let’s get out of here for now!”

Mina says, with a nod, “Right!” Mina and Lita then race out of the Town of Beginnings and out into the field in which Lita and Mina think about their families and their friends, their fellow Sailor Scouts, and most of all, images of Naruto and Princess Serenity come into their minds stealing their resolve to survive as they fought as Sailor Scouts. Soon enough, they see a young man of 14 years of age with a blue shirt, grey pants, black boots, a sword strapped to his back with neat short black hair and black eyes running just ahead of them.

Lita says, “It looks like we aren’t the only ones with the same idea!”

Soon enough, the two girls catch up with the young man and he asks, “Who are you?”

Mina says, with a grin, “We’re going to ask you the same question.”

Lita asks him, “Guess you had the same idea as us, huh?”

The young teen responds, “I take it that you have played these kind of games before.”

Mina says, with a grin, “Call us a bit of experts in them.”

The young teen says, “Well, if you want to follow me, you are going to have to keep up.” Soon after, three monsters appear and all three of them easily beat them without much trouble.

Lita says, with a smirk, “Funny, that’s what we are going to say to you, pal.”

Mina says, with a smile, “Not bad.”

The young teen replies, “You, too.”

Lita asks, “I’m Makoto and this is my friend, Minako. What’s your name?”

The young teen replies, “I’m Kirito.”

Lita asks, with a smile, “You are a beta tester, aren’t you?”

The young teen asks, “How do you know?”

Mina says, with a giggle, “You just told us, silly!”

The young teen says, with a smile, “Clever.”

Lita asks the young teen, Kirito, “Kirito-san, what do you think of this?”

Kirito says, with a plain tone, “I don’t know what to think about this, Makoto-san, but I know what he said is true. I’ve followed the guy. He is a genius of the highest caliber, so, if we die in the game, we really die.”

Mina says, solemnly, “Oh, man. I was hoping that it wasn’t true.”

Kirito says, “Well, this is the guy that created the game and created the NervGear itself.”

Lita says, “Well, we have a friend back in the real world that can match him. She is a real genius in everything.”

Kirito asks, “You’re kidding?”

Mina says, with a smile, “Nope! She is our best friend and she might be already on it as we speak!”

Kirito says, “Well, good luck to your friend. She is facing one of the smartest people in the world.”

Lita says, with a grin, “So is our friend! But for now, until we get out of here, we need to survive.”
Kirito says, “Right! I’ll help anyway I can, but you have to keep up for now.” Mina and Lita nod their heads and all three of them continue to head off to survive until they can get free of this ‘death game’.

End Flashback; Return to the Present

Back in the present, Ami says, “Well, Kirito-san was right about Kayaba. He may have been called a ‘super genius’ and it was a miracle that I was able to forge a communication link between you in SAO and us, here, in the real world.”

Trista says, “Even with my assistance due to my vast knowledge that I gathered guarding the Time Gates, Kayaba proved to be a ‘tough nut’ to crack.”

Michelle says, “It was shocking to find that our Ami-chan was so… stumped.”

Mina says, “We were surprised too, Michelle.”

Hotaru says, “Ami-chan worked herself very hard especially after the first month.”

Raye says, “Kayaba was that rare ‘one in a million’ genius.”

Amara says, “Too bad that he had to be a ‘mad genius’ in that fact.”

Mrs. Aino says, “And after the first month, it was decided by your friends that we learn the truth about you and them. I had nearly fainted when I heard your cat, Artemis, talking to me.”

Mr. Aino says, nodding his head, “And finding out that you were the famous Sailor V and one of the Sailor Scouts.”

Mina says, with a smile, “Sorry, dad. You know how it is with super heroines.”

Andrew says, “Well, it was a real shocker to find out.”

Amara says, “Not as shocking as we found out that Molly knew that Serena and Sailor Moon were one and the same since the whole ‘Nega-Moon’.”

Molly says, “I just don’t know how I figured out, but I knew that Serena and Sailor Moon were one and the same person. And I realized that the new friends that she and Ami were going with must have been the Sailor Scouts that I saw. I didn’t mean to drift away from Serena, but I didn’t want distract Serena because she was defending not only me and my family, but our whole world and I didn’t want to worry her.” Molly says, solemnly, “I should have been there for Serena. It must have been horrible to see the man that you loved in another lifetime die in front of you like that.”

Mina tells Molly, “Serena doesn’t blame you and in fact, she would blame herself from drifting so far apart from you.”

Molly says, “Yeah, I know, but it isn’t her fault.”

Ino asks Mina and Lita, “Anyway, this ‘Kirito’ guy? Wasn’t he the one that beat that nutjob that trapped you all there?”

Lita says, with a nod, “Yeah. He was a beta tester and was one of the top players in the game that belonged with the assault team. He was known as the ‘Black Swordsman’, but also a ‘beater’ which is a combination of ‘beta’ and ‘cheater’. He took on the majority of the player’s rage towards beta players, which wasn’t right since they were in the same situation as the rest of us were, on him alone.”

Mina says, “But we knew that he was a good person at heart. He wanted to make sure that the people were united in the goal of winning the game and getting out of here. However, he didn’t beat Kayaba, who had managed to infiltrate the game as a player known as Heathcliff, alone.”

Raye says, “Right. He had help from one of the other people that were working on this situation too.”

Amara says, “Data Squad.”

Lita says, with a nod, “Yep! Especially those of the Odiaba Digidestined, the original Digidestined. They had four friends, Kari Kamiya, Ken Ichijouji, Cody Hida, and Yolei Inoue, who we knew by their avatar names of Akari, Kendo, Coda, and Miyako for a good portion that were trapped in there with the rest of us. They were desperate to find a way to get them and everyone else out especially after the first two thousand deaths in one month.”

Mina says, “It was a shock to learn that they had figured out a way to get into the game without the use of the NervGear!”

Ami says, “There are plenty of scientists that were working on the theory of converting physical matter into digital information which is known as either ‘Digitalization’ or ‘Virtualization’, but I was shocked when they succeeded and the one that hacked into SAO was the same person that helped Kirito-san defeat Kayaba once and for all.”

Amara says, “You wouldn’t think so since you would think that he is some kind of ‘sports jock’ type of guy. A brave good guy, but didn’t look like the brain type.”

Tenten says, “However, in the world of the ninja, you are supposed to ‘look underneath the surface’, Amara-san.”

Michelle says, with a smile, “Yes, the younger leader of the Odiaba Digidestined has some shocking secrets. His own friends must have been shocked to learn this fact added to the fact that he failed plenty of his tests on purpose.”

Lita says, “It was awesome to finally get some help, but they managed to arrive in SAO over a year ago and it still took us that long to get out. And even though they could leave since they weren’t wearing the NervGear and actually, virtual-whatever to get in there, they were taking plenty of the same risk that the rest of us.”

Mina says, with a solemn tone, “Yeah, if they run out of health in the game, they are just as dead as we were.”

Ami says, solemnly, “Actually, worse, Mina-chan. They didn’t just send their minds into the virtual world, they had turned their whole bodies into digital information and in short, they were their ‘avatars’ in SAO. If they died there, they weren’t just killed… they were ‘destroyed’.”

Amara says, solemnly, “There wouldn’t be a corpse since deleting their ‘avatar’ means destroying their bodies and scattering their data to the depths of the virtual world forever.”

Mina says, solemnly, “That’s what happened to one of the Data Squad when one of their own gave his life to protect us and give Davis-san the key to access SAO server to take control of it from Kayaba and give him and Kirito the fair chance to beat that fucking asshole into the ground.”

Lee says, with a nod, “I know. It is a terrible event. Such an unyouthful way to go. He deserved better.”

Ino asks, “Did you know his name?”

Lita says, with a nod, “His name was Takeru Takashi. His friends called him TK.”

(Later on; Elsewhere in Tokyo)

Within another part of Tokyo, Davis, in his Data Squad outfit, is standing in front of grave with a statue shaped in the form of Takeru ‘TK’ Takashi standing behind the grave and Davis has a solemn look on his face.

Davis says, “Hey, TC. It has been awhile, hasn’t it? Sorry, bud. I’ve been busy. We’ve finally managed to get Kari and the others out of that nightmare that was SAO and I made sure to beat the crap out of Kayaba with Kirito’s help.” Davis clenches his fist and he says, with tears in his eyes, “You had to be the hero, didn’t you? You idiot, TK!”

Flashback; Over a year ago

Inside of the virtual world of SAO, a group of the trapped players, including Kari Kamiya, Ken Ichijouji, Cody Hida, and Yolei Inoue, wearing their various ‘clothing/costumes’ are being assisted by none other than Davis, who is wearing a flame designed version of Seto Kaiba’s jacket, black tight fitting shirt, dark blue jeans, silver armored elbow and kneepads, and black combat boots, and Taichi ‘Tai’ Kamiya, Kari’s elder brother, who is wearing a black fluffy jacket similar to Squall’s jacket from Final Fantasy VIII, orange shirt under a silver armored chest plate, black jeans, and silver armored shoes. Both of Tai and Davis aren’t trapped in the game as the SAO players are. They have managed to enter the game by digitized their bodies through a process called ‘virtualization’ which was created by replicating the process of the Digi-Ports that allow the Digidestined to travel between the Real World and the Digital World and back again by turning their bodies into digital information and back again when returning to the Real World.

Since they came in through this method, they can manage to come and go into SAO, unless Kayaba manages to ‘lock’ their way out since he has heard and knows about other research into such technology and processes to ‘digitize’ physical matter into digital information, but it doesn’t mean that Davis and Tai aren’t risking their own lives since dying while inside of the game means complete and utter death since the deleting the ‘avatars’ means their own ‘complete deletion’ since Davis and Tai are their ‘avatars’, mind, spirit, AND body.

Just then a male voice calls out, “Everyone!” Everyone then looks to see Takeru ‘TK’ Takashi, looking pretty torn up with his plain shirt under and armored chest plate, armored kneepads and elbow pads, brown fingerless gloves, and brown combat boots, running in which his left eye is closed coming towards them.

Tai says, shocked, “TK!”
TK yells out, “I’ve got it! I’ve got it! I… Look out!” Just then everyone looks to see a powerful monster appear in front of Davis and prepares to hit Davis hard, but TK uses enough speed to push Davis out of the way and cries out as the attack impales much to everyone’s shock and horror.

Kari and Tai scream out in pure horror, “TK!!!” TK collapses to the ground with a ‘thump’ and Davis, in shock at first, gets over and he takes out a samurai sword attaches to his waist and slashes the monster through the eyes.

Tai yells out, after pushing buttons on the screen, “Command, emergency devirtualization for TK now!”

A voice responds, “His HP is going down too fast! We won’t make it in time!”

Davis runs over to TK and he yells out, in disbelief, “You idiot!”

Davis prepares to get him a healing item and TK says, with a grunt, “No time…. Got to get this to you.” TK creates a small screen and as his health races down towards zero and his death, he pushes buttons as rapidly as possible.

Tai says, in a frantic tone, “TK, stop!”

Kari says, “You need to take a healing item, fast!”

TK says, “No… I’ve got to do this. This may be the key to defeating Kayaba.”

There are multiple gasps and Cody asks, “The key to defeating Kayaba?” TK finishes pushing buttons and with one last push of a button, a light goes from his body into Davis’ body.

Davis asks, “What’s this?”

TK says, “I’m not completely sure, but I know that it could be the others best chance to get out of this nightmare. Promise me that you’ll get our friends out of here.”

Davis says, with tears in his eyes, “You baka. You know that I will.”

TK says, with a grin, “Yeah, I know. And tell mom, dad, and Matt that I’m sorry.” When his health bar hits zero, TK’s body shatters into data particles much to everyone’s horror.

Kari screams out, in pure horror, “TK!!!”

Yolei yells out, horrified, “TK, no!”

Cody says, horrified, “This can’t be happening!” We then look at Kirito, his outfit consisting of black pants with a black belt that had a large silver buckle, a black V-necked shirt that was worn underneath a black trench-coat with gray lining going down the sleeves and black boots with silver plates to protect his shins. He has a silver plate worn on his coat, which was on his left side, and a pair of black fingerless gloves. He wears a strap, that goes over his right shoulder and under it to wrap around his left side,

He shakes his fist and he thinks in his mind, angrily, “Kayaba.” He then notices the monster preparing to strike again and he yells out, “Hey, watch out!” But Davis just draws his sword and quickly as a flash, he destroys the monster, much to everyone’s shock and surprise.

With tears of sadness and rage in his eyes, he roars out, “Kayaba, you son of a bitch! When I find you, I’m going to gut you so bad in here that your real body will be torn to pieces when I’m done with you here! Do you hear me, Kayaba?!”

Kirito thinks in his mind, “Like he is going to care, Davis, but don’t you worry, he is going to pay for this, I swear it.” On the meanwhile, Kari is crying over Tai’s shoulder while Yolei is crying on Ken’s shoulder at what just happened here.

End Flashback; Return to the Present

As Davis stands over TK’s grave, which has no body due to the fact that TK was ‘deleted’ when he was completely virtualized into the virtual realm and the game, and he says, “And I showed that asshole thanks to you, buddy. That thing that you gave and it took you and Patamon nearly everything that you had costing Patamon his life too was the ‘key’ to kicking that asshole’s ass once and for all. It took a year to figure out what it was since it was so fragmented and such. But after we found out that Heathcliff guy was actually Kayaba as one of the players, your gift helped Kirito and me end this.”

Flashback; Around two months ago

Within SAO, we are inside of the boss room of the seventh-fifth floor of Aincard, the name of the place for SAO, where everyone found out that one of the top players in the game, Heathcliff, leader of the Knights of the Blood, one of the guilds, organizations that players organized themselves into to survive in this ‘death game’, was in fact, the creator of SAO and the reason that the players are trapped in this ‘nightmare’, Akihiko Kayaba, thanks to Kirito’s ‘detective skills’. With his identity revealed, he had frozen everyone, including Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus, who he had ‘exposed’ to the rest of the players and just now revealed that they had figured out a way to use their Sailor Scout powers in SAO, expect for Kirito, Davis, Tai, Matt, and Sora, in which the latter four had come into through another ‘infiltration’ into SAO via their ‘virtualization’, but Tai, Matt, and Sora are entrapped by some kind of eyeball monsters with needles at their neck which would cause instant death in all sorts of the world if they are hit.

Kirito and Davis are now fighting Kayaba/Heathcliff, who has removed his ‘immortality status’ to make him vulnerable to death in SAO, and he challenged them both to a final duel in which if they kill him, the players will be freed from the game.

Kari shouts out, fearfully, “Davis, no! He may not be able to completely control you, but he knows this game! You can’t!”

Davis yells out, strongly, “I have to try! We can’t let this monster win!” Davis and Kirito desperate struggle against Kayaba, but due to him being the creator of the game, he knows all of the workings, weapons, skills, and whatnot putting Davis and Kirito at a complete disadvantage in which Kayaba shows as he easily cuts Davis’ right leg and impales his left leg causing Davis to collapse to the ground in a heap in front of Kirito and Kayaba

Kari yells out, fearfully, “Davis!”

Kirito shouts out, “No!” He barely dodges the strike from Kayaba and tries to beat him without using any of the games sword skills knowing that since Kayaba, but he can’t in which one of his swords, Dark Repulse, breaks on Kayaba’s shield.

Kayaba says, with a smile, “Game over, Kirito. For you and for Davis.” Kayaba swings down on Kirito and Davis, who struggles to a sitting position, but Kari and another young lady, Asuna, Kirito’s wife in-game, leap in to take the blow, but Davis knocks them out of the way and takes the attack right in his back causing him to scream out in pain.

Everyone gasps and Kari and Tai scream out, in horror, “DAVIS!!!” Davis then collapses in a heap as his HP bar goes down to zero and his body starts to turn into data particles.

Kirito gasps out in horror and his horror turns to rage as he looks at Kayaba while Kari screams out, with tears in her eyes, “Dai-kun!”

Davis thinks in his mind, “Is this the end? Ken… Yolei… Cody… Tai… Matt… Kari… I’ve failed you all.”

Just then TK’s voice booms, “That’s it! You are just going to give up like that! The Great Davis Motomiya, the guy who refuses to give up, let’s himself get beaten by a game!”

Davis thinks in his mind, surprised, “TK?” In Davis’ mindscape, Davis looks to see TK right in front of him.

TK or his spirit tells Davis, “Hey, where is the Davis that refused to let MaloMyotismon get his way and used his heart and determination to set us free from his illusion? Where is the Davis that refused to give up when it seems like there was no hope or chance for victory? Where is the Davis that brought out the miracles when we needed him most? Remember?” Just then Davis remembers what happened during his adventures as a Digidestined.

Davis responds, his will and determination skyrocketing, “Yeah, I refused to give up before. I’ve faced the worst baddies that the Digital World could produce and with the others by my side, I kicked butt and took names! And even that fanged freaked look like he had won, I knew that he could be beaten! I was never beaten in real life and there is no way that I’m going to get beaten by a stupid game! Kari and the others are counting on me! I just can’t just give up here and now!”

TK says, as an orb glows from his chest, “That’s the Davis Motomiya that I know. Now, here is my gift. Kick Kayaba’s butt all over cyberspace.”

The orb goes over to Davis and he says, “Thanks, buddy.” As TK’s spirit vanishes, we go back to the ‘scene’ with Kayaba and Kirito staring him down while tears of horror come from Kari’s eyes.

Kayaba says, “Well, that was unexpected. I didn’t program any way for players to naturalize their own paralysis through I didn’t expect anyone to succeed in proving the theory of ‘digitalization’.”

When Kayaba looks at the captive Tai, Sora, and Matt, Tai yells out, “You sick son of a bitch! When we get our hands on you…”

Kayaba responds, interrupting, “Easy, my friend. You still have a chance to defeat me if Kirito steps up.” Kirito prepares to end this, but then there is a golden glow and everyone looks to see Davis coming back to his feet and giving off that golden glow.

Kirito asks, stunned, “What?”

Davis says, with a growl, “This isn’t over… not by a long shot… I will say it is over when it is over, Kayaba!” Just then Davis’ HP bar goes from zero to infinity and swing around in which he bashes Kayaba’s shield with his bare fist causing him to be sent skidding back.

Sailor Jupiter says, shocked, “Holy cow!”

Kayaba is stunned, but he then smiles and he says, “Interesting. You have managed to overcome the game and all of its programming with your will. I knew that you and Kirito were special and it is the reason that I allowed you to continue your virtualizations.”

Davis says, “Big mistake and here is why. System log in, ID Heathcliff. Password: Castle in the Sky!” Just then multiple screens surround Davis and Kayaba immediately charges in to strike Davis, but Davis catches his sword with his bare hand and holds in which Davis says, “Enable Administration Privileges to Player ID Davis. ID level to match ID Heathcliff and disable privilege override to player Heathcliff.”

Kayaba says, stunned, “Impossible.” When the screens fade away, Davis brings up a small screen and pushes a few buttons in which the monsters around Tai, Sora, and Matt vanish while everyone else that was frozen can move.

Sailor Venus says, excitedly, “I can move!”

Kirito says, stunned, “You… You’ve gained control over SAO!”

There are gasps of shock and Davis says, “Not complete control and I can’t access any log out feature for you, all, but TK’s sacrifice has allowed to get as much control as he has!”

Kayaba says, with a nod, “It is annoying, but very interesting that your friend found a way to give you that. I clearly underestimated him.”

Davis says, “A mistake that you are going to regret. You are very calm for a man about to die.”

Kayaba says, with a plain tone, “That’s left to be seen.”

Davis says, “System command: Generate objects! ID Dark Repulse times four and ID Elucidator times four!” Just then four replicas of Kirito’s Dark Repulse and four Elucidator’s appear, they then connect to each other by the ends of their hilts, and Davis says, grabbing the connected swords by their hilts, “New Extra Sword Skill: Shuriken Swords.” Davis then spins the swords around until they become a blur and Davis’ HP meter then matches both Kirito’s and Kayaba’s HP meters. Davis says, “Don’t say that I don’t play fair.”

Kirito says, “Let’s do this.” Kirito and Davis stare down Kayaba and Davis charges in causing Kayaba to be forced into the defensive immediately as Davis is performing skills and techniques that aren’t part of SAO.

Kayaba tells Davis, with a smile, “You have done well going beyond the game, but…” Kayaba then manages to duck under one attack and impale Davis on the left shoulder causing him to drop the ‘shuriken’ made of the Dark Repulse swords in which Kayaba says, “I don’t just rely on my knowledge of my own game alone.”

Davis says, with a grin, “Just what I wanted.” Kayaba is surprised and Davis yells out, “Kirito, now!” Kirito then spins in and uses his unbroken Elucidator at the weak point of Kayaba’s sword and shattering it in which Davis then uses his other ‘shuriken sword’ to shatter Kayaba’s shield. Completely defenseless, Kayaba prepares to equip another weapon from his ‘inventory’ and seeing this, Asuna throws Kirito her sword, a rapier.

Asuna yells out, “Kirito-kun!” Kirito grabs Asuna’s rapier and with a mighty yell, he charges in for the kill before Kayaba could get any defense up. Even though he knows that he is going to get impaled and die, Kayaba doesn’t show a hint of fear, but he just smiles as if to say ‘well done’ as he gets impaled by Asuna’s rapier. Kayaba’s HP meter then goes down to zero and he shatters into data particles. Just then a monotone voice then declares that on this date, the game was cleared to every single player left alive in Aincard.

End Flashback; Return to the Present

Back in the present, Davis is looking at TK’s grave and he says, “I don’t know how you and Patamon managed to do it, but you did it. Soon enough, Kayaba managed to pull Kirito, Asuna, Kari, and I together and says his goodbye to us. He used some kind high intense scan on his own mind to digitize his mind into the virtual realm and fry his own brain. It was a one in a million shot, but he did it. He came to Kirito and me when we had to deal with Sugou Nobuyuki and gave us the help that we needed to take care of him when he kept Asuna-san and close to three hundred other survivors prisoner. Then he gave us this weird ‘World Seed’ in which Izzy figured out that it was a way for anyone to make a virtual game world or something close to it.” Davis sighs and he says, “However, things haven’t been the same without you, buddy. Those ‘Dark Digidestined’ fucks just murdered a lot of new Digidestined and their Digimon partners in what people are calling ‘The Japanese Nine-Eleven’. Good way of putting. I should know, buddy, since I was there. It was… horrible. Never thought that I would say this to you, TC, but we could use you, buddy. Having the Digidestined of Hope would be good right now.”

Veemon says, concerned, “Davis…”

Davis says, with a grin, “Yeah, I know, buddy. TD wouldn’t want me to sad and such. The others need their strong leader to kick ass.”

Veemon says, with a nod, “Yeah.” Davis and Veemon start to walk and Davis then stops causing Veemon to ask, when he sees Davis look up into the sky, “What’s wrong, Davis?”

Davis says, with a shrug, “Got me, buddy, but I just got a real bad feeling.”

(Within another location; on the meanwhile)

At the North Pole, we head into what was the base for the Negaverse on planet Earth and deep under the surface, we find the facility has been rebuilt with wood-like roots all over the palace and inside of the ‘container’ that used to contain Queen Metallia, a red Rinnegan eye with nine Sharingan tomoe surrounding it, is in the center of the container with a black humanoid creature with yellow eyes.

A dark female voice says from the container, “Zetsu.”

The black humanoid creature responds, “Hello, mother. It is good to hear your voice.”

The dark female voice says, “Chakra. I want my chakra back!”

The black humanoid creature responds, “I know, mother. But right now, you are too weak. Thanks to that wretched seal that nearly killed you, you are left as helpless as a wretched mortal and you deserve so much better! I had barely saved your ‘core self’, mother.”

The dark female voice says, “Asura. He and Princess Serenity shall pay with their lives for this!”

The black humanoid creature, known as Black Zetsu, says, “And thanks to the powers of the Negaverse and the Heart Snatchers that was left, they will start paying. I have gained enough dark energy for you to allow me to get into Queen Serenity’s wretched kingdom and take back your chakra from the both of them.”

The dark female voice responds, “Excellent, Zetsu. I knew that my one and only son won’t let me down.”

Black Zetsu responds, “Thank you, mother. It has taken two years to gain enough of your strength back, but soon, you will be reborn and Asura and Princess Serenity will pay for what they have done with you. And both worlds shall join them in death. We will create our own world where you should reign supreme as the one and only goddess, mother.” Soon enough, Black Zetsu creates a portal and goes through it.

(Around the same time; At another location on Earth)

Within Hayabusa Village, Jo Hayabusa is mediating and he then looks towards the moon despite being unable to see in which Momiji is surprised by this.

Momiji asks, “Jo-sama, what’s wrong?”

Ryu then appears and he says, “You have felt it too, father.”

Jo responds, “I do, my son. It has been over two years since Naruto and Princess Serenity have defeated Kaguya, but I fear that the war is about to start anew.”

Ryu tells Jo, “I will consult with Hayate.”

Jo says, “We will need to move quickly to find her.”

Momiji tells Jo, “But Jo-sama, we have been searching for two long years and we have no sign of her here even if she was reborn here in Japan.”

Ryu says, “I believe that Sailor Pluto was right to say so. She holds the power of the phoenix and Kaguya has been biding her time along with others that desire its power along with the ‘ultimate power’ that Naruto and Sailor Moon hold.”

Jo says, “As well as the Shinju, which has found its way to planet Earth to rest and recover from its possession by Kaguya for all of these centuries, but I doubt that just a mere two years would allow it to recover fully.”

Ryu says, “Which would make vulnerable to getting possessed again by Kaguya or someone else.”

Jo says, “And there is one more problem that we must deal with.”

Ryu says, “Sasuke Uchiha. His defeat by Naruto’s hands and his desire to create a destructive revolution back at home in which he has to kill Naruto and possibly the Moon Princess for that purpose and we haven’t heard much about him, but most likely, he has gotten stronger.”

(Elsewhere; Later on)

At another location on Earth, we find Sasuke Uchiha, age 18-19, wearing a black shirt with the Uchiha crest on the back of the shirt, tight fitting dark blue jeans with a belt containing various pouches for ninja tools attached to the sides of his waist, a ninja mask around his nose and mouth, and black open-toed sandals on his feet with a sheath for a sword attached to the rear of his pants on the belt. Sasuke is looking up to the sky towards the moon.

Sasuke thinks in his mind, “When you awaken Dobe, the final battle will begin. This is a battle beyond revenge, beyond hatred, and beyond just who is right and who is wrong! This will be the battle to decide the path of the future of our world. The only way that our world will change is through revolution and I will be the one. I don’t fucking care that you are the heir to the Six Path Sage! Prophecies are made for losers! You created own fate by your own hands and you know it, Naruto! We will see who molds the future when we finally meet again!”

(At the moon; during this same time period)

On the moon itself, we find ourselves within the Sea of Serenity and within the Sea of Serenity, lies the ruins of the Moon Kingdom with an atmosphere maintained to ensure that life can survive within the ruins where it can’t survive anywhere else on Earth’s satellite and using powerful magic and such to keep it hidden away from the ‘eyes’ on Earth. Deep within ruins of the palace, we find ourselves within the healing chamber where the slumbering Princess Serenity, age 18-19 and showing a gorgeous feminine figure, and Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, age 18-19, are still in a deep slumber and healing from their incredible battles with Kaguya, Madara, and Sasuke in which they used their incredible powers and the powers of the Cosmos Crystal in which they nearly died from the experience due to them not being ‘mature’ enough to handle such great power as of yet. After the sacrifice of one of Naruto’s friends, Sakura Haruno, using a mysterious power from within her, saved their lives, they are now slumbering in the chambers due to the fact that without it, it would take one hundred years for them to come out of this ‘coma’.

Outside of the ruins of the palace, the eight of the nine Biju, Shukaku, the One-Tails, Matatabi, the Two-Tails, Isobu, the Three-Tails, Son Goku, the Four-Tails, Kokuo, the Five-Tails, Saiken, the Six-Tails, Chomei, the Seven-Tails, and Kurama, the Nine-Tails, are surrounding the palace to keep guard over Naruto and Princess Serenity. Gyuki, the Eight-Tails, isn’t here only because he allowed him to be resealed into his last Jinchuirki, Killer Bee, because Killer Bee and Gyuki managed to form a friendship and to make sure that humans don’t make the same mistakes that led up to the nightmare of Madara and Kaguya.

The eight Biju have been keeping a vigil over the slumbering saviors for over two years, but some of them feel that their ‘guard duty’ will end soon enough and Kurama then looks around.

Matatabi asks, “Kurama, what is it?”

Kurama responds, “Nothing, Matatabi. I thought that I sensed something.”

Isobu says, “Well, we have been waiting for our father’s heir to wake up for two years.”

Kurama says, “We have existed for centuries, Isobu. The time means nothing to me, but it isn’t surprising to me, Isobu. The kit is a heavy sleeper and this is the first time that he is sleeping peaceful.”

Son Goku says, “You haven’t heard Roshi snoring, Kurama.”

Shukaku yells out, “But I am so bored!”

Kurama says, with a snort, “Shut it, you sand trap! This is the heir to our father!” What the Biju don’t know or realize is that a ‘dark shadow’ comes out of one of their shadows and makes its way into the ruins of the palace and heads down where it goes down to the healing chamber where it takes the form of none other than Black Zetsu.

And that’s the start of the story, everyone! Remember, like I said before, if you want to know what’s going on in this story, you have to read the full amount of Sailor Moon Shippuden: New Moon Ninja to learn the ‘backstory’ to this story, okay? Before I leave, for you Sword Art Online fans, I just recently started looking up that anime and I just read all of the books of the manga that I could and I managed to get through some of the anime episodes of first Sword Art Online, in which this story takes place after the end of Sword Art Online and before the start of Sword Art Online II anime, so, I’m sorry if there are some inaccuracies in the story or the characters from that anime/manga that appear in this fanfiction. However, what I do know is the first main villain of Sword Art Online, I can answer some things and yes, this is a bit of story spoiler alert.

You, SAO fans, must be saying that Kayaba wouldn’t allow the Digidestined to transport themselves into his world so easily and you are right. As you will read later on, it wasn’t easily for the Odiaba Digidestined to get themselves ‘virtualized’ in which this will be inspired by Code Lyoko and while they can leave, they can only stay in there for a limited time or Kayaba will find a way to make them trapped in there until someone beats the game among other things. However, you have to also note that he disguised himself as a player and aided the other player’s development especially the ‘hero’ of Sword Art Online anime/manga, Kirito/Kazuto Kirigaya, in which his ‘game’ was beatable by anyone with the skills. He planned to reveal his true identity five floors below the final/one hundredth floor of the game world and in that, he wanted to develop their skills, so, if you think about, ‘outsiders’ that managed to get into his world aid in that development of the players, including most of all those that he has ‘special interest’ in, especially after he reveals his true identity as the final boss, well, so much the better. Personally, based on what I know about Kayaba, I would think that he would think of it as an ‘interesting twist’ more than anything else.

Sorry about my ranting, folks. Anyway, please read and review to tell me what you think. Your opinions matter through I hope you don’t needlessly flame me. Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
