Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Naruto Shippuden Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Shippuden GT: Grand Tour ❯ Fragment of a Valkyrie ( Chapter 20 )

Well, here we are in big chapter number twenty, folks! I’m guessing that you didn’t expect what I did in the last chapter, did you? I’m really trying to balance out the combat in all shape and forms as well as the drama, romance, and character development, everyone! It isn’t exactly easy, everyone! I know that there hasn’t been too much romance in this story in which I said I’m better at the action, adventure, and drama than the romance, but I hope that I will do good on the romance part, everyone. Anyway, keeping reading and there are going to be plenty of surprises to come in which reading the last parts of the Naruto manga online has given me plenty of inspiration. Also, before I start this chapter, I would like to give credit and thanks to fanfiction author, Belletiger, and as well as fanfiction author Kanius and Kanius’ YuYuGiDigiMoon series, especially his The Invasion of the Rajita story, for the idea of Valkyrie Sailor Soldiers.

Sailor Moon Shippuden GT: Grand Tour

Chapter 20: Fragment of a Valkyrie

At MBI headquarters, Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto are talking with Queen Serenity and Geminios about what happened at the North Pole and Queen Serenity is awe-struck.

Queen Serenity says, “A Valkyrie Sailor Soldier.”

Naruto says, “The power that Sakura put up was… beyond insane!”

Geminios says, “The power of a Valkyrie Sailor Soldier is legendary, Naruto. It is the power that the first Moon Queen, Queen Selene Serenity, used in battles and wars in the creation of the Moon Kingdom and the Silver Alliance. It is a level of Sailor Soldier power that comes close for a non-Sovereign class Sailor Soldier to rivaling a Sovereign class like Sailor Cosmos… unless she is a Valkyrie Sailor Soldier.”

Sailor Star asks, “What happens if Sailor Cosmos becomes a Valkyrie level?”

Queen Serenity says, shaking her head, “Her power could most likely go beyond the realm of ‘mortal understanding’, my daughter.” Sailor Moon’s, Sailor Star’s, and Naruto’s eyes widen, but then Naruto grunts out in pain and he stumbles backwards.

Sailor Moon asks, concerned, “What’s wrong, Naruto?”

Naruto says, groaning, “I don’t know, Moon-chan.” Naruto yelps out as the Golden Crystal comes out of his body and then sends a golden beam of energy high into the air in which Naruto falls down to the ground on his bottom.

Sailor Star asks, confused, “What’s going on?” Shortly afterwards, the Golden Crystal stops glowing and sending energy into the sky in which it goes back into Naruto’s hands.

Sailor Moon asks, concerned, “Are you okay, Naruto?”

Naruto responds, with a nod, “I’m okay. Just a bit surprised.”

Sailor Star asks, concerned, “Are you sure, Naruto-kun?”

Naruto replies, with a nod, “Yeah, but I’m wondering what that was about.”

Geminios asks, “What could have the Golden Crystal reacted to?”

Queen Serenity asks, “Or who?”

Everyone looks at Queen Serenity and Sailor Moon tells Queen Serenity, “Mom, what are you talking about? Endymon… Darien-kun was the prince of Earth. He is the heir to its throne and the only one that Golden Crystal would react to…”

Sailor Moon becomes solemn and Queen Serenity says, hugging Sailor Moon, “I’m sorry to bring back those hurtful memories, Serenity.”

Sailor Moon says, shedding a few tears, “No, mom. You don’t need to apologize.”

Queen Serenity nods her head and she then says, “Actually, there is one fact that you didn’t know. Prince Endymon had a younger sister.”

There are gasps from Naruto, Sailor Star, and Sailor Moon and Sailor Star asks, “Endymon had a sister?”

Queen Serenity says, with a nod, “A sister that very few knew about for very good reasons. One, she was adopted by Endymon’s royal family, but she held a great power inside of her in which the Golden Crystal of Elysion accepted her. It is believed that she was a descendant of the royals of one of the lost precursor kingdoms that can become the Moon and Sun Kingdom as well as the Silver Alliance and Golden Alliance.”

Sailor Star asks, “If she was accepted by the Golden Crystal, would that make her the princess of Earth?”

Queen Serenity says, with a nod, “Yes, my daughter. By all rights, the adopted sister of Endymon was the Princess of Earth, however, she didn’t become a Sailor Soldier… or at least to my knowledge. It is possible that she was granted Sailor Soldier powers by the Golden Crystal, but I really don’t know. However, I know that she was granted powers by one of the few that knew about her other than myself, Geminios, and Endymon and his royal family.”

Sailor Moon asks, “Who?”

Queen Serenity responds, “Your cousin and the princess of the Solaris Kingdom: Princess Sakuya. You know her as Sailor Sun.”

There are gasps of surprise and Naruto asks, “Sakura… I mean, her past self gave Endymon powers?”

Queen Serenity says, with a nod, “Yes, but not Sailor Soldier powers. However, she gave her powers very similar to Sailor Soldier powers developed by her as the Guardian of Fantasy. You see, the Sailor Soldiers weren’t the only warriors out there. Millennia before the Silver Millennium, there was a group of other ‘magical girls’ as you would call them also fighting to maintain the balance. And their powers rivaled those of the Sailor Soldiers.”

Sailor Moon asks, “Other heroines that had powers that rivaled Sailor Soldiers?”

Queen Serenity says, with a nod, “Even when the Silver Millennium ended, they continued to exist on and off on Earth long after and into today. However, the modern day incarnation of those magical girls was created by Sailor Sun and the power of the Fantasy Jewel that she holds as the Guardian of Fantasy. Princess Sakuya held the belief that you didn’t have to be a Sailor Soldier to be a powerful warrior and in fact, the people of the Solaris kingdom believed that ordinary people, men and women, had the power to rival or exceed Sailor Soldiers.”

Geminios asks, “Only those of the Solaris kingdom believed that, so, you can believe what the rest of the kingdoms believed?”

Naruto says, “No dice.”

Queen Serenity nods her head and Sailor Moon asks, “So, when Darien-kun’s Golden Crystal, could it mean that his sister as the Prince of Earth has awakened?”

Queen Serenity responds, “Yes, it does. I’m not surprised that her beloved had already awoken to his power.”

Sailor Star asks, “Who was her beloved?”

Queen Serenity replies, “Princess Sakuya’s brother, who was reborn as Daisuke Motomiya.”

Sailor Moon asks, surprised, “Wait! Davis Motomiya-san has a girlfriend? But could that mean…?”

Queen Serenity says, “I suspected as much Serenity.”

Geminios says, “Valkyrie level Sailor Soldiers and the possible coming of a Sailor Soldier for Earth? It seems like Earth and the universe sense the danger.”

Sailor Star asks, curiously, “Could the Dark Signers, Sasuke, and Orochimaru be such a danger?”

Queen Serenity says, with a nod, “The Dark Signers, yes. But Sasuke Uchiha isn’t a threat to Earth. He desires a ‘radical form’ of peace and he is a danger to his world, but I doubt that he desires universal chaos. In fact, it is last thing that he desires. Orochimaru self-centered actions may pose that kind of danger, but…”

Sailor Moon asks, “But what, mom?”

Geminios says, “We believe that Kaguya survived.”

That was a major bombshell and Naruto yells out, “No way! Sakura turned her into her personal punching bag after she went Valkyrie, believe it! And when Sakura blasted her, I could sense her chakra signature go by the wayside!”

Queen Serenity says, “While that’s true, your heart should tell you if she is truly dead.” Sailor Moon and Naruto gasp and they look at each other.

Sailor Star asks, “Naruto-kun? Sis?”

Naruto says, “We don’t feel that she is dead.”

Sailor Star asks, surprised, “You don’t?”

Sailor Moon says, shaking her head, “We don’t, but we thought that it was nerves.”

Queen Serenity says, shaking her head, “No. Since you have gained your own version of Kaguya’s original chakra, you gained the ability to at least sense if she is truly alive or dead. Since you senses are telling you that she isn’t truly dead, she is probably heavily injured from Sailor Sun’s assault, but still alive.”

Naruto says, with a sneer, “And resting her ass to come back for round three and she may be at full strength.”

Sailor Moon says, “And we need to be ready for her return.”

Sailor Star says, with a nod, “Agreed, sister.”

Sailor Moon says, “I just hope that the others are okay. We’ll need to wait until Mercury-chan is able to report in.”

(Around the same time; In Hayabusa Village)

Within Hayabusa Village, Sakura is sleeping on a mattress as the Digidestined/Data Squad, minus Davis, Kari, and Jun, their Digimon, minus Veemon, Gatomon, and Lopmon, the Sailor Scouts, and Leaf ninja are assembling as they get the report on what happened at the North Pole from ‘Kaguya assault team’.

When they are done, Kiba says, stunned, “No way!”

Ino says, “I knew that was Forehead’s power!”

Yamato says, looking at her, “I can’t believe that she had accessed such power.”

Jiraiya says, “I don’t blame you, Yamato.”

Minato says, “The power was… beyond description.”

Tenten asks, “How did Sakura gain such power?”

Trista responds, “She finally tapped into the power of her sacred phoenix flame.”

When everyone looks at Trista, Hotaru asks, “She did?”

Trista replies, with a nod, “She did, Firefly. Remember, she has the fire of Suzaku, the mighty phoenix, inside of her. She was finally able to harness its power and ascend into a Valkyrie Sailor Soldier.”

Lita says, shaking her head, “Yeah, no joke. It was insane!”

Trista says, “The legendary power of the Valkyrie Sailor Soldier transcends anything that you know, Lita-chan. It is at a much higher level of power and very difficult to master. She may able to transform into a Valkyrie, but she won’t be able to do it at will at first.”

Mina asks, “She won’t?”

Trista says, “Like I said, it is a higher level of cosmic power. She will need to master it if she wants to fully harness and control it to her will. It is difficult to maintain for that fact too.”

Ami says, “And that’s why her broaches returned to Legendium form.”

Amara says, “So, she will need to transform again in order to harness her Valkyrie level powers. And it took a while to transform and that means that she is vulnerable to attack. It was a good thing that Kaguya was too stunned by her immense power and transformation to attack, but then again, all of us were.”

Trista says, “Once she masters her Valkyrie level powers, she will be able to transform at will and nearly instantly.”

Hotaru asks Trista, “Is it true, Trista-mama? Has she become the ultimate Sailor Scout?”

Trista responds, “No, Firefly. She has become one of the ultimate Sailor WARRIORS.” There are plenty of gasps and Trista says, “The Valkyrie Sailor Soldier is a legendary power and it is said that a Sailor Soldier that has reached this level becomes one of the ‘super-elite’ of Sailor Soldiers. Only the purest of Sailor Warriors can ever become Valkyrie levels.”
Tsunade says, “I think that Sakura can be described as one. Ever since I trained her, I felt that the true ‘ninja spirit’ lied within her, but it had to be brought out.”

Raye says, “There is also something else.”

Everyone looks at Raye and Mina asks, “Something else?”

Amara says, “You felt it too, huh? I’m not surprised. The wind around her changed even before she transformed.”

Raye says, with a nod, “Yeah, when we were around her before ever since her awakening as Sailor Sun, her heart was conflicted, but when she transformed into a Valkyrie, the conflict was gone. All I sensed was complete sense of unity and purpose and that ‘inner conflict and confusion’ was gone like she resolved something within herself.”

Amara says, nodding her head, “I know, Raye. That’s I felt. The winds around her become fierce and strong.”

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

Minato says, “She means that Sakura has accepted herself. In short, she is accepting that ‘Sakura Motomiya’ and ‘Sakura Haruno’ are one and the same and it most likely means that she has regained all of her memories as Sakura Haruno.”

Trista says, with a nod, “A valid statement, Minato-dono.”

Ino asks, “So, Forehead is back to her old self?”

Sai says, “She may have regained her original memories, but I believe that her current memories remain, Ino. She may not be back to her ‘old self’ as you may think.”

Shino says, “Sai has a logical point. She just may have found her ‘inner peace’. It doesn’t mean that she will be the Sakura Haruno that we knew and grew up with.”

Renamon says, “No, she isn’t… She’s stronger.” Everyone looks at Renamon and she says, “Ever since I’ve known my partner, we’ve bonded as Digidestined and Digimon partner in which Sakura was a strong person, but I always felt that there was something… A hole in heart. She did feel a bit ‘incomplete’ and after she had become Sailor Sun, she was in conflict with herself, but since she has resolved it, she will be a stronger person than she was before.”

Tsunade says, “I hope so.”

(A few days later; Dicey Café)

Inside of Dicey Café, Andrew, behind the counter, is with Kazuto, Asuna, Rika, Keiko, and Tsuboi as Suguha comes in and asks for an iced tea in which she gets.

Keiko says, “Hi, Suguha.”

Suguha says, “Hey, Keiko.”

Rika tells Suguha, “You look tried.”

Suguha responds, “I feel tried.”

Asuna asks, “Sakura-san training you hard?”

Suguha says, nervously, “Actually, she brought me to the ‘front lines’.”

There are surprised looks and Kazuto asks, surprised, “What?”

Suguha says, “I knew that you were going to freak out, onee-chan.” Suguha sighs and she says, “Sakura felt that it was best that I get actual combat experience and know what it is that a Sailor Scout really does, so, we went to Juuban distract for ‘monster hunting’ basically.”

There are gasps and Tsuboi says, “Whoa!”

Andrew says, “I’ve heard about the ‘monster attacks’ in Juuban ever since Sailor Moon first came on the news about five years ago. At first, people thought that these were stunts or flukes, but the ‘incidents’ became so many that people knew that these ‘monster attacks’ were no stunt or flunk especially Mina started out as that ‘Sailor V’ a year before Sailor Moon. However, I’ve been hearing that they have been getting worse since we first became trapped in SAO.”

Tsuboi asks, “Really?”

Suguha says, with a nod, “That’s what the other girls told me. The youma, the creatures that the Sailor Scouts fight, always attacked at night, but with Mina and Lita trapped in SAO and Sailor Moon still sleeping on the moon, it was like the monsters knew that the Sailor Scouts were at their weakest and they gained strength from that. During the whole SAO incident, the other Scouts were hard pressed to fight them since they also attacked in the daytime now too.”

Keiko says, nervously, “Scary.”

Suguha says, with a nod, “I know, Keiko. They are frightening since they are unlike the monsters in SAO or ALO. They aren’t computer programs that follow programming of some kind. They are all humanoid in which they are also mainly female for some reason, they can talk, and they can adapt. I learned after I fought my first one.”

There are looks of surprise and Rika asks, “You fought one of these monsters?”

Suguha says, with a nod, “Sakura told me that I would be fighting these ‘things’ as part of my job and I was fighting one that was real weird. It was a female monster wearing an outfit made of seaweed and coral.”

Asuna asks, curiously, “Seaweed and coral?”

Suguha says, with a nod, “While it looked freaky, it was no joke. It used some kind of puffer fish to paralyze about a dozen people before it was sucking the life out of them. I took care of that freak while Sailor Sun cured them and get them out of there. However, the poor excuse for a seafood platter brought out a pair of whips that were electric eels and shocked me with them! If I wasn’t a Sailor Scout, I would deep fried! Then there were those swordfish that she used as swords!”

Rika asks, with a smirk, “A pair of swordfish? Really?”

Suguha responds, “You wouldn’t be laughing if you saw her use their noses as blades to cut through thick steel and I’m not joking.” There are plenty of surprised looks and Suguha says, with a groan, “It became worse than she managed to get me into the water. She transforms into some kind of monster shark and she nearly ate me like a seafood dinner! It was lucky that I got a new transformation mode that allowed me to become like mermaid and fight her underwater.”

Keiko asks, “Become a mermaid?”

Suguha says, with a nod, “Legendium Mode: Miracle Mermaid. You gain a fish-like tail instead of legs and feet and the ability to breathe underwater in which you fight the enemy with a spear or trident.”

Andrew says, “Man, girl. You had it tough.”
Suguha says, “It was a hard fight, but I managed to win. It isn’t as easy as the Sailor Scouts make it look out to be and they warned me that it wasn’t.”

Kazuto says, with a serious tone, “But what about next time? You could have been killed Sugu!”

Suguha responds, with a serious tone, “I know that Kazuto, but it’s the way that it has to be. I’m a Sailor Scout, now, and these guys aren’t going to fight fair! They are going to try every trick in the book to destroy me including using my own family and friends as shields and bait to get me into their traps!” Suguha says, with a sigh, “Being a Sailor Scout isn’t all pretty outfits, special powers, and catchphrases. We are fighting for the peace and the lives of all of humanity after all.”

Just then the door opens and a female voice says, “Your sister is right. You can’t take being a Sailor Scout lightly. I did and it cost me someone most precious to me.” Everyone then looks to see Serena, wearing a silver and pink sports bra top, tight fitting blue jeans with a matching black belt, and silver and pink sneakers with her Data Link Digivice attached to her belt along with her broach while she is wearing a bandana over her head, walk into the café with Naruto, wearing an outfit exactly like the one that he wore after he came back from his training trip with Jiraiya (A/N: Naruto’s Shippuden outfit), follows her.

Many of the others are surprised and Tsuboi asks, “Hey, don’t I know you?”

Rika tells Tsuboi, “Dummy! That’s Sailor Moon!” Tsuboi gives a gasp of shock in which Serena removes her bandana to show her two crescent moon sigils, her golden right side up and her dark violet upside down, on her forehead. She then walks over to the bar counter and sits down at a nearby stool in which she takes out some yen in which she puts it on the table.

Serena asks, “Do you sell coffee here?”

Andrew responds, a bit nervously, “Sure.”

Serena responds, “Decaf latte with milk.” Andrew hesitates at first, but Kazuto nods his head in which he does so.

Naruto says, “Vodka martini, shaken, not stirred. And I’m not joking.”

Andrew asks, “Aren’t you a little young to be drinking?”

Naruto responds, “I’m nineteen going on twenty and on my world, we have a saying: Old enough to kill, old enough to drink. When you get your ninja license, you are considered an adult since as a ninja, you probably get the idea.”

Andrew says, “I get it, but I don’t have to like it.”

Naruto tells Andrew, “Not to cause you any trouble with the law. I’ll have Ginger Ale.”

Serena responds, “Geez, Naruto. You are becoming a soda addict.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Haven’t had a sugar rush yet.”

Serena replies, with a smile, “When did you need sugary stuff to have one?” Naruto and Serena giggle as Andrew slides over a big bottle of soda while Andrew prepares Serena latte.

Kazuto asks, curiously with a suspicious glance, “Why are you here?”

Serena responds, “Nothing really. For one thing, your sister made it on the news.” Serena then takes out a magazine from her sub-space pocket and she sides it over them in which Kazuto catches and everyone looks to see Sailor Sun and Sailor Celestial on the cover of the magazine with a picture of them in front of a group of robbers, hanging upside down from a flag pole, and they were beaten up.

Suguha says, nervously, “Oh, yeah! Some jerks thought that they could rob the area when everyone else was running for the lives from that youma and I was a bit exhausted and irritable in which those guys, thinking that we weren’t real Sailor Scouts, kind of pissed me off and well… you can see the result.”

Rika says, with a grin, “Yeah, I see.”

Tsuboi tells Kazuto, “Kirito, remind me never to piss off your sister.”

Kazuto says, with a nod, “You better not, Klein.”

Serena says, “I have to say that’s well-done, Celestial. However, it is because you had training before you were thrown into the battlefield. The instant that I got my first locket, I fought my first battle as Sailor Moon against a frightening youma.”

There are looks of surprise and Suguha asks, “You did?”

Serena says, with a nod, “I was just a fourteen year old girl and the fate of the world thrust on me.” There are plenty of wide-eyes and she says, “Then I find out that I’m the reincarnation of a princess from a super-advanced kingdom on the moon and bearer of a crystal of incredible power. Power that can destroy a star or a planet.”

Asuna says, “That’s a great burden.”

Serena says, nodding her head, “I gained a group of girlfriends and found the prince where we bonded our hearts from so long ago. But the enemies became stronger and the battles became tougher…” Serena remembers her battles through the Negamoon, Heart Snatchers, Dead Moon, and Chaos possessed Galaxia and Shadow Galactica despite having ‘holes’ in her memories and she says, “It took much pain and strength, but I had my comrades and my prince by my side. However… ‘she’ came.” As images of Kaguya ring through her mind, Serena says, her glare becoming an out of character dark and deadly glare, “A fiend in human form… a woman that enslaved her world… a woman that would murder her own children just because they possess power just like her own… a fiend woman that would do anything… just for revenge against what my mother… Queen Serenity… did by freeing her world from her evil… and woman that would enslave this world just for that revenge…”

Naruto says, “Kaguya.”

Kazuto says, “The incident over two years ago with ‘artificial moon’ and the tree roots. The hypnotic ‘dream world’ known as Infinite Tsukuyomi.”

Serena says, with a nod, “Yes, but then again, I’m also partially to blame.”

Naruto says, concerned, “Serena-chan…”

Serena says, “Part of me was overconfident that with my friends, allies, and my beloved, we would win. But that’s not all. I could have been a stronger Sailor Soldier and a better one. My selfishness help end the life of the man that I loved.”

There are plenty of surprised looks and Kazuto asks, “Selfishness?”

Serena says, solemnly, “I always put being a normal girl with regular friends and boyfriend and rejecting the fact that I was never a normal girl the day that I choose to take that locket and become Sailor Moon. I should have realized it during one battle when my desire to be a normal girl prevented from me being Sailor Moon and left my friends, my scouts, at the mercy of our enemy. It was only my desire… No, my need to save my friends and the power of my crystal that allowed me to become Sailor Moon that helped me save them. I should have realized it then, but like the Meatball Head that I am, it went in one ear and out the other.” Serena then says, her eyes narrowing, “And then she came and we feel into her trap, caught by her sinister illusion, and my love gave his all to save us all. And in that moment, part of my world and my future… shattered and died.” As the memories of Darien’s death flow through her mind, her hands tighten fists and Serena says, “With his dying breathing, he pleading with me to protect this world… his home… his people. And that’s why I fight… to keep that promise no matter what… to ensure that no one else goes through my pain… and to protect the last legacy that he left me: My daughter, Rini.”

Andrew asks, giving her cup of tea, “Daughter?”

Kazuto says, “The pink haired baby during the SAO Memorial Event in Juuban park.”

Rika yells out, “That was really her daughter?!”

Serena says, putting her hands on her waist, “Right from my own womb. Using the last of his power, Darien united our life-forces and ‘gave birth’ to Rini’s star seed, her soul as you may call it, and I found a way to ensure Rini’s birth from there. She is my daughter and Darien’s daughter. Heiress to the throne of the Moon Kingdom and Earth.” There are more gasps and Serena says, glaring at Suguha, “I fight to ensure her a peaceful future that she will find her prince and know love in which I hope that she never has to become a Sailor Soldier herself.”

Kazuto asks, “Why is that?”

Serena says, “Your sister already knows that answer, but to put it plainly: ‘We live by the sword and we die by the sword’.” There are surprised looks and Serena says, “We hold the futures of this planet and its people in our hands. You know what it make us.”

Kazuto says, “Targets.”

Serena says, with a nod, “We are this world’s defenders. As the battles went out, the enemies became stronger and we had to become stronger in turn. We are their greatest threat. The people’s shield. We live with blades at our necks and hearts to make sure that innocent people never suffer and ever get impaled by those ‘blades’. And we are always at death’s door.” Serena tells Suguha, “You know this now, don’t you?”

Everyone else looks at Suguha and Keiko asks, “What does she mean?”

Suguha says, with a sigh, “I didn’t want Kazuto to worry, but I… I know how you may have felt in SAO. I nearly died that day.” There are gasps and Suguha says, “Remember how I said that she shocked with this ‘electric eels’? Like I said, if I was in ‘human form’, I would have been dead. I saw its eyes and I knew… they were the eyes of a killer. Even under the water and after I had transformed into a ‘mermaid form’, she managed to take a chunk out of me and I barely won by slashing it in the eyes and impaling her right through the heart. Sakura used her healing powers, which were stronger than ever before, to heal me and I came out all right.”

Kazuto says, slamming his hands onto the table, “Sugu, you can’t keep doing this!”

Serena says, with a serious tone, “She has to!”

Kazuto says, glaring at Serena with a deadly serious tone, “What right…!!”

Serena says, with a dark deadly glare of her own that’s not like her usually, “Don’t give me that Kazuto-san! The instant that Suguha-san accepted the power, she accepted the responsibility and the duty that comes with being a Sailor Solider! And it isn’t just our own lives on the line when we fight, it is millions to billions of lives on this planet and beyond! We are known as Sailor SOLIDERS for a reason! We are fighting a war to protect those people! We fight for those who can’t fight and who can’t protect themselves from the evils that we face! And that’s the burden that Suguha-san and I have! If we make one mistake, it isn’t our lives that we need to be concerned about! It is others because it is they who will pay the price for our mistakes! And I will not tolerate another innocent life to have to suffer ever! I will protect this world, Naruto’s world, and this universe!” Serena says, “I never wanted this life, but it is a part of who I am! And you have to accept that it is Suguha-san’s life now.”

Suguha says, “She’s right, big brother.”

Everyone looks at Suguha and Kazuto says, “But Sugu…!!”

Suguha says, “But nothing, Kazuto! I knew what I was doing when I accepted the power of Sailor Celestial!” Suguha says, with a sigh, “While you were trapped in SAO, my mother was broken apart and the two of us could only sit by helplessly as we watched your body in the hospital, but I also saw the other family and friends of the other victims. I also saw the bodies of those that died and I also the face of one of the people that died before they could cover that person up completely.”

There are multiple gasps and Kazuto says, shocked, “Sugu…”

Suguha says, “I never want to feel that again. I never want anyone to feel that same pain that I have suffered for two long years. That’s why I choose this life, big brother. To make sure that no one else has suffered like all of you or like I have. Before I was powerless, I have the strength to protect.” The others look at Suguha, but Suguha says, looking at Serena, “However, it doesn’t mean that you can deny yourself happiness, Serena-san. I heard the story from the others and you aren’t completing the other half of the promise from Darien-san. He made you promise to protect this world AND find new happiness. You think that you are honoring him, but his loving spirit must be crying tears of horror and sadness at what you have become.”

Serena asks, glaring at Suguha, “What did you say?”

Suguha says, looking at Serena with a determined eye, “I don’t know him at all, but I can tell that there was a powerful bond between you. A bond that transcended lifetimes and I know that his spirit is out there begging to bring you back from the darkness along with Naruto since what I heard tells me that the powerful friendship was there even through you only knew each other for a short time.” Suguha then gets out of her seat and she says, walking away from the others for a bit, “And I don’t mind using my swords to do so, Serena.”

Naruto looks at Suguha and he says, “You are willing to fight to break through any ‘barriers’ in their hearts to do so.”

Suguha says, “That’s right.”

Naruto tells Suguha, “Then you will become strong, Suguha-san.” Suguha gives a look of surprise and Naruto says, “In my memories, I remembered a lesson from someone: You will only become strong if you have something or someone to protect. And this person was right. Never forget that.”

Suguha says, surprised, “Naruto-san…”

Rika thinks in her mind, “Whoa, what a guy.”

Serena says, with a smile, “Anyway, I thought that you would know that a group of ALO players with some companies are reviving ALO.”

There are gasps and Suguha asks, amazed, “Really?”

Serena says, with a smile, “They formed a new company known as Ymir and they have already bought all of the data of ALO. They are requesting aid from Data Squad and my father’s company of MBI in the completing the revamping of the game.”

Kazuto asks, “Revamping?”

Serena says, “They found a complete copy of Aincard on the servers.”

There are gasps and Kazuto says, “It makes sense. RECT took over when Argus and there was a backup of SAO made just in case something happened to the main servers.”

Serena says, “Since the big quest of ALO was a major bust, they plan to revive Aincard on ALO with some minor changes including not dying in the game and not getting trapped in there.”

Rika says, “That will be a big plus.”

Kazuto asks, “This isn’t the real reason that you wish to see us, is it?”

Serena responds, with a serious tone, “I… I want to ask all that you know about Kayaba since I plan to make an assault on Neo Aincard in Rainbow Gardens soon.”

There are gasps and Tsuboi asks, “You what?”

Serena says, “I intend to end SAO once and for all.” Serena takes a ship of the latte given to her and she says, “I want my life back and I intend to rip it from his corpse.”

Rika tells Serena, “Um, he is already dead. He is just digital data.”

Serena responds, “And data can be deleted right?”

Kazuto asks Serena, “You can’t be serious?”

Serena replies, with a deadly glare, “He stole my life and I want it back! And it is time that I put those ghosts of those innocent souls that he took to bed! He thinks that he can do such a thing and think that destroying his body in which he retreat to the virtual world without consequences?! He is just a coward! A coward that put his work before his family and caused them pain beyond belief, Kazuto-san!”

Kazuto says, “I don’t blame you thinking that way, but I can’t be sure that you are right about him not caring for his family not from what I saw on these videos.”

Serena says, “He fooled the whole world, Kazuto-san. Fooling an elementary school girl wouldn’t be too hard.”

Kazuto says, with a nod, “That’s a good point, Serena-san.”

Serena finishes off the latte while Naruto finishes off his drink and Serena says, putting more yen on the table, “Keep the change.” Serena then takes out a smart phone and she throws it to Suguha, who manages to catches it, barely.

Suguha asks, “What’s this?”

Serena responds, “It is a special smart phone and it has a scanner with your facial specs on it.”

Kazuto says, “Facial recognition technology, huh? Not bad. Despite plastic surgery and such, facial features don’t exactly change. They are just as good as fingerprint.”

Serena says, with a nod, “It will only work for Suguha-san. Plus, there is a link if she manages to get a Neuro-Linker from Data Squad since they have been producing their own.” There are gasps of surprise and Serena says, with a smile, “Who do you think allows them to do that? We do get a license fee of course.”

Rika says, glancing at Asuna, “Must be hard being a rich girl, huh? I know someone that can agree with that.”

Asuna says, “Geez…”

Serena tells Suguha, “By the way, I want to see how good with that brand new skill that makes SAO’s Duel Welding Skill look like a joke.”

There are multiple gasps and Kazuto asks, “Huh?”

Suguha asks, “How do you know that I have that skill?”

There are plenty that look at Suguha and Serena responds, with a smirk, “On our combat system screens, you find that skill has two versions: Mystical and Chakra. You are most likely using the mystical version with the elemental cosmic energies since you have access all of the ‘elements’ that Sailor Scout use while I use the chakra version since I have my own version of that fiend’s own chakra and my own special ‘bloodlines’, Suguha-san.”

Suguha asks, “And what makes you think that I can’t use the chakra version?”

Naruto says, “You can use chakra, but you aren’t the type to be a ninja and even with my memories like scrambled eggs, I can tell, believe it. Most likely, Sakura is training you to use chakra in the way that she did in the form of energy beams, blasts, and spheres most likely using her memories of my Rasengan as a reference.” Naruto forms a Rasengan in his right hand and Naruto says, “Leave it to Sakura to figure out something.”

Serena says, with a smile, “Yeah, I know. Good thing that we stayed ahead of the game and manage to replicate the same technique, Naruto.”

Naruto’s eyes widen and he says, “Hinata-chan is calling for us.”

Serena says, with a smile, “Better get back before she, dad, and mom get worried.”

Naruto tells Andrew, “Thanks for the drinks.”

Serena says, with a smile, “Nice place that you have here.”

Naruto tells Rika, with a smile, “Nice to see you, Rika-san.”

Serena tells Rika, with a kind smile, “Thank you for being friends with Lita-chan and Mina-chan during that nightmare.”

Rika says, with a nod, “Sure.”

Naruto and Serena start to take off and Kazuto asks, “What will happen when you get your memories?”

Naruto and Serena stop and Serena responds, “Hopefully, it means that we can move onto a future that everyone can enjoy.” Naruto and Serena then exit out the café in which Agumon (N) and Lunamon were waiting for them while everyone else looks at them intently.

(The following day; In Hayabusa Village)

Inside of Hayabusa Village, Sailor Sun is looking over herself and thinking about something while Kazuto, Sailor Celestial, in her ‘Black Swordsman form’, Asuna, Rika, and Keiko are with the Digidestined, their Digimon partners, Sailor Scouts, and the Leaf ninja.

Davis, who is sporting a golden-red sun sigil and a white crescent moon sigil on his forehead, is with Kari and Tai asks, “Let me get this straight: Kari is your girlfriend from the Silver Millennium and she was the adopted sister of Sailor Moon’s boyfriend?”

Kari says, with a smile, “That’s about the short end of it, Tai.”

Sailor Venus asks Sailor Pluto, “Did you know about this Pluto?”

Sailor Pluto responds, “I had my suspicions, Venus.”

Sailor Uranus asks, “But why does he have a crescent moon sigil and why is it a different color?”

Sailor Neptune says, “It could be that it is a different color since he is welding the White Moon Crystal now.”

Sailor Mercury says, “And somehow his Lunarian blood has completely awoken.”

Sailor Jupiter asks, “Doesn’t that make him Lunarian royalty?”

Sailor Uranus says, “That shouldn’t be possible.”

Sailor Pluto says, “Normally, it shouldn’t be, but with the way that things are, the Earth needs the protection of the Sun and the Moon in which the protection of the Moon Kingdom, which is already weak, has grown weaker with our queen and our princesses being swallowed by the darkness of the ‘shadow’ of the White Moon family and the Duel Dragons.”

Sailor Mars asks, “But why Davis?”

Sailor Pluto says, “He is much like Naruto and in all form. I think that Kazuto-san said it best when he and Davis faced Kayaba when Kazuto-san called the Solaris Prince, the ‘Scarred Hero’.”

With the Leaf ninja, Yamato have set up multiple wood clones and he tells Sailor Celestial, “Here you go, Celestial-san.”

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Thank you, Yamato-san.”

Yamato says, “They won’t go easy on you.”

Sailor Celestial says, with a grin, “Neither will I.” Sailor Celestial draws her Elucidator and Dark Repulser and she takes a deep breath before her Dark Repulser glows red in which the blade is covered in flames while the Elucidator glows orange and wind starts to come from the blade.

Tenten asks, “Wind and Fire?” Sailor Celestial charges into the attack and the Yamato clones fight back in which Sailor Celestial manages to dodge their attacks. She then slashes one of the clones with the Elucidator causing it to get engulfed in a tornado-like vortex, but she then slashes the clone with the Dark Repulser causing the clone to get engulfed in flames which are enhanced by the vortex wind causing it to be a firestorm around the clone causing him to roar as he is vaporized.

Keiko says, shocked, “Oh, wow.”

Sailor Celestial asks Yamato, “Are you sure that this is okay?”

Yamato responds, with a sigh, “It is kind of what clones are there for.” Yamato’s Wood Clones shrug at this and Sailor Celestial charges in with Yamato’s clones attacking with Taijutsu and kunai and shuriken only through the blades are blunted to make sure not too seriously injuries are caused to Sailor Celestial. Sailor Celestial attacks another clone with her Elucidator, but it is glowing dark violet and when she slashes the clone, the clone decays into nothingness while the next one is slashed by Dark Repulser, but there is a blue glow in which the Yamato clone is frozen in a block of ice.

Ino says, awe-struck, “Amazing.”

Shino says, “She is using multiple elements in her swords and two of them at the same time.”

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Yep! The skills of ‘Black Swordsman form’ are based on Kazuto’s avatar of Kirito of SAO and all of us have a special ‘Duel Welding’ type ‘Power Skill’ that we start with, but this is an evolved version of it: Duel Elementia.”

Hana asks, “Duel Elementia?”

Sai says, “The ability to use two kinds of elemental blades by the looks of it.”

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “That’s right, Sai-san. You’ve seen me use elemental powers with my swords before, but I could only do one at once. Duel Elementia is Duel Blades with using two elemental powers at once.”

Jiraiya says, with a smile, “Nice!”

Minato says, “Maybe it is a good idea for our swordsman to be sent down to train you.”

Yamato says, with a smile, “However, she might have a problem with this one.” Soon after, the Wood Clones then merge together into massive wooden golem version of Yamato in which plenty are surprised by this.

Kakashi tells Yamato, “You have been practicing.”

Yamato says, “And with help from Lady Serena’s friends, they managed to stabilize the First Hokage’s cells in my body to allow me to use the full power of the Wood Style.”

Sailor Celestial says, nervously, “Okay.” Sailor Celestial says, with a sigh as her swords start to glow in a rainbow of colors, “Here goes something.”

“Elemental Stream!”

Sailor Celestial then stabs the wood golem with her Dark Repulser engulfed in flames and then with her Elucidator, she slices the wood golem with blades of wind coming from that sword. She then takes out her Dark Repulser, swings around, and slashes the wood golem again with the sword that she took out of her opponent, but this time, her Dark Repulser is glowing ice blue-white and ice forms at the point where she slashed the wood golem. She then ‘X-scissors’ the wood golem with a combination of a water blade and lightning blade coming out of her two swords. She then stabs it with Elucidator where the area that she stab rots and decays while she cuts off one of the hands of the golem with an orange light coming from Dark Repulser. She then swipes at it with both swords which seems to become blurs and nothing seems to happen, but 27 slashes appear on its body and it stumbles back. Sailor Celestial then connects her swords together as they become engulfed in elemental energy with a roar, she slices its head off and the rest of the body of the golem is cut in half before the whole thing is engulfed in elemental energies before vaporizing into nothingness.

Kiba says, amazed, “Holy cow!”

Choji says, “That’s a good way of putting it, Kiba.”

Tsunade asks Sailor Celestial, “That’s your ‘skill’s’ special attack, huh?”

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “Yeah. It’s actually the signature move or at least, I think so. I do have a few others. One is Elemental Cross where I hit them two times with one slash from each of my swords in which they blasted with the elements that I slashed them with and there is Elemental Box in which I slash an opponent four times and form a box on their body in which they get blasted in a twister made of the four elemental energies that I hit them with.”

Ino says, “Nice!”

Sailor Celestial says, “Duel Elementia also allows me to use special elemental sword attacks and I can use two at once as long as the elemental sword attack can be used by one sword.”

Tai says, with a smile, “Nice!”

Rika tells Kazuto, with a teasing smile, “It looks like our ‘black swordsman’ is going to be replaced by an even better ‘black swords-WOMAN’.”

Asuna says, with a pout, “Liz!”

Rika responds, with a grin, “Kidding! Kidding! But you have got to admit that she is good!”

Kazuto says, “Well, it isn’t too surprising since she has been doing kendo since she was little and she got into top level championship after all.”
Matt asks, “Anyway, why would Sailor Moon do such a thing?”

Sailor Mars says, with a shrug, “Got me, Matt-san.”

Jiraiya says, “Well, she wouldn’t do what she did without a reason.”

Sailor Venus asks, “What shall we do?”

Sailor Uranus responds, “What do you think Venus?”

Tai asks Izzy, “Make any heads or tails from that smart phone?”

Izzy responds, shaking his head, “Not going to work, Tai. Not even Davis can hack into it.”

Davis says, “Facial recognition program data and a lot of security systems. These guys really did their homework and one false move and ‘goodbye’ to that lead, folks.”

Sailor Saturn asks, “What shall we do?”

Sailor Neptune says, “Our best bet is to follow the lead that she gave Sailor Celestial with for whatever reason.”

Sai says, “This could be a trap and right now, you said that your princess is not in her right mind right now.”

There are plenty of glares from the Sailor Scouts and Sailor Jupiter says, “I can see why Naruto and Sakura wanted to beat the crap out of him.”

Sailor Sun says, drolly, “Now, you know how I feel Jupiter.”

Ino says, “We’re finally glad you have finally got your act together, Forehead.”

Sailor Sun retorts, with a glare, “Don’t push it, Ino-Pig. We’re friends, but there is only so much that a girl can take before she goes Valkyrie on your ass.”

Ino responds, “Well, you haven’t been able to transform into your Valkyrie form, huh?”

Sailor Sun replies, “It isn’t exactly an easy thing to control, Ino. This is whole other level of cosmic power and combine that with the chakra that I have in me and you have got a nuclear bomb!”

Shikamaru says, “Well, Pluto said that you can’t transform into it at will under your master it to the point where you can transform instantly.”

Ino tells Sailor Sun, with a grin, “Come on, Sakura! You have got to tell us what it was like! Mina just told me that you were screaming and you had a bright light in which you were shaking the whole area with your raw power! What did it feel like transforming?!”

Sailor Sun responds, “What’s to say, Ino? I just don’t know how to describe it.”

Renamon asks, “So, what are we going to do about Sailor Moon’s ‘invite’?”

Sailor Sun replies, with a smirk, “What do you think Renamon? We’re going to crash her ‘party’.” Sailor Sun goes over to Izzy, snatches the smart phone from him, and gives it to Sailor Celestial.

Sailor Celestial asks, “Huh?”

Sailor Sun says, with a smile, “Answer it, Celestial. Let’s see what ‘her majesty’ wants.”

Sailor Celestial responds, nervously, “Okay.”

Yolei says, “Hey!”

Tai tells Yolei, “Don’t bother, Yolei.”

Sailor Milky Way says, with a grin, “Yeah, Sakura has always gone to the beat of her own drum. And once she decides something, you would need like a tank to stop her and she might break the tank.”

Sailor Sun glares at Sailor Milky Way and Ino says, with a grin, “That would be Sakura for you.” Sailor Sun gives a twitch of her right eyebrow while Sailor Celestial activates the security system on the smart phone in which when it identifies her, the smart phone starts to give information to Sailor Celestial causing her eyes to widen as it does so.

(Later on; Inside of Rainbow Gardens)

Inside of the virtual world of Rainbow Gardens, we find Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto, wearing his outfit similar to Ryu Hayabusa’s outfit with the Star Saber and two other swords strapped to his back, assembled together at the top level of Rainbow Gardens at the base of Neo Aincard looking at a teleport zone with it looking similar to the ones on Sword Art Online.

Sailor Star asks, “Do you think that they will come?”

Naruto says, “Believe it, Hinata-chan.” Just then Agumon (N) and Lunamon come out into the open and Naruto says, “Hey, Agumon!”

Lunamon tells Sailor Moon, “Serena, there are a lot of people coming. I think that it is the other Digidestined and Sailor Scouts are with Sailor Celestial, who has brought her brother and some of his closest friends from SAO.”

Sailor Star says, “Well, it isn’t surprising.” Soon after, Kazuto, as Kirito, Asuna, in her Knights of the Blood outfit, Rika, as Lisbeth, Keiko, as Silica, Sailor Celestial, our Data Squad/Digidestined group, including Sailor Milky Way and Sailor Sun, their Digimon partners, and the Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts make their grand appearance.

Rika asks Keiko, “Are you sure that you will be okay, Silica?”

Kazuto says, “You have been hanging around with us a lot lately and after what happened in SAO, they must be really worried about after just seeing lying in a hospital bed for two years.”

Keiko says, “It’s okay, Kirito. I told them all about you and how I took care of myself in SAO with Pina’s help.” Said feathery dragon is flying around Keiko and lands on her head gently and Keiko says, “They were really surprised by this.”

Rika says, with a smile, “It’s not exactly too surprising since you were about twelve years old when you got trapped with us.”

Matt says, “Which still begs me the question since the NervGear had to have an age restriction based on the games used.”

Sailor Moon asks Sailor Celestial, “You got my message?”

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “I relayed to big brother and Asuna.”

Sailor Star says, “Sorry, we learned all about the ‘red guilds’ especially Laughing Coffin.”

Davis asks, “Why am I not surprised that nut wrote about himself and his guild?”

Kazuto asks, “Are you sure that it was him?”

Naruto says, “Based on what he was described as: Yep!”

Tai asks, “What’s that murderous freak doing here?”

Kazuto says, “PoH always had a cool and calculated mind which made him the deadliest of opponents. When he found out that Kuradeel wanted to kill me, he took this change to recruit him in order to get at me.”

Asuna asks, “What does he want here?”

Kazuto says, “I know that it can’t be good, Asuna-chan.”

Matt says, “He could be on the run since his attack at Juuban some time ago.”

Tai says, “I don’t think so, Matt. Since he is so cool and calculating, he might have already moved on from his base that he had during the attack.”

Ken says, “Laughing Coffin. I didn’t think that we would have to deal with them again.”

Cody says, “Yeah, it was a nightmare.” Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto step onto the teleport pad and field of light surrounds them before they vanish, much to plenty of the others shock.

Sailor Mars says, “Oh, geez! That Meatball Head! Come on!” Soon enough, the Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts get onto the teleport pad and follow their princess into the floating castle.

Sailor Sun tells Kazuto, “It is best that you head back home.”

Kazuto looks at Asuna, she nods her head, and he responds, “I’m not. You are going to take Sugu along with you, aren’t you?”

Sailor Sun says, “She may have unlocked more of her powers as Sailor Celestial, but she still have more powers to unlock and she has yet to fully master her powers making her a true Sovereign class Sailor Scout. Like it or not, the best way is a trial by fire.”

Kazuto responds, with a glare, “Like with her first battle with youma in Juuban?”

Sailor Sun glares at Kazuto and Sailor Celestial tells Kazuto, “I know that you are worried about me, Kazuto. However, I’m not a helpless little girl. I think that I showed that in ALO. Believe me, I can take care of myself.” Sailor Celestial goes with the Data Squad crew and their Digimon in which Kazuto and the others follow her into Neo Aincard. Within the floating castle in Rainbow Gardens, the whole group is in a place that looks like the Town of Beginnings in SAO, but there are plenty of differences in which the Town of Beginnings in SAO had a Medieval European style, this one has a mixture of European Medieval, Japanese Feudal, and elements of Ancient Egypt, Greece, and Rome mixed in together with bits of the modern here and there.

Sailor Venus says, “This is different.”

Sailor Jupiter says, “Yeah. In original Aincard, it looked like Middle Ages of European… You know, with the knights and stuff.”

Yolei says, with a nod, “I know, but this looks like a mixture of Japanese and European added with bits of Ancient Rome, I think.”

Cody says, “It seems like Kayaba has taken a new twist with his Neo Aincard.” Everyone then looks like around to see human-animal hybrids, regular humans, humanoid Digimon, and various others walking around.

Sailor Moon looks around as a scanner screen appears in front of her eyes via her Neuro Linker in which she asks, “Anything?”

Sailor Star responds, “No, Sailor Moon. My scanner can’t pick up his data signature.”

Sailor Moon says, with a sigh, “They never make it easy.”

Izzy asks, “You have a lock on Kayaba’s data signature?”

Sailor Moon says, “Pull it out of the NervGear that I used to… look into Data Squad’s virtual matrix.”

Davis retorts, “You mean going in our ‘cookie jar’ without our permissions you mean?”

Sailor Moon retorts, “I made sure that mind controlling sicko, Sugou, didn’t get back his work.”

Sailor Star says, “Sailor Moon, I’m accessing the information that we have on SAO to find data terminals.”

Just then a familiar female voice says, “I know where one could be!” Just then Yui, in her pixie form of ALO, comes out of Kazuto’s coat pocket and transforms into her ‘regular form’.

Kazuto asks, surprised, “Yui-chan?”

Yui responds, “Hi, poppa!”

Asuna asks, “Yui-chan, what are you doing here?”

Yui replies, with a smile, “I enjoyed all of the time that I spent in the real world thanks to Uncle Davis getting Uncle Izzy to help me with that hologram projector, but where my papa and mama goes in the virtual world, I go too.”

Rika says, with a teasing smirk, “I see that your daughter is inheriting the stubbornness of her parents.”

Kazuto and Asuna blush slightly about this and Kazuto then asks, “Yui, what do you think of this Aincard?”

Yui says, closing her eyes, “Give me a minute, daddy.” After a minute, Yui says, “It is very similar to the original, but it is much more advanced especially since it is in a living virtual world. However, the format of this Aincard is very similar to the original Sword Art Online Aincard and I can detect a data terminal under this one’s version of Blackiron Palace.”

Sailor Star says, “I already got the location on my map, Sailor Moon.”

Naruto says, “Lead the way, Hinata-chan.”

Sailor Star responds, with a nod, “Right, Naruto-kun.” Sailor Star heads off with Sailor Moon and Naruto following close behind her.

Sailor Mars yells out, “Hey!”

Sailor Uranus asks, “What we waiting for?” Soon enough, the others follow Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto in which they reach an exact duplicate of Blackiron Palace and they reach the underground labyrinth right under it.

Kazuto says, “Déjà vu.”

Asuna says, with a nod, “Yeah.”

Sailor Moon, in her ‘Black Swordsman form’, says, “We had better be careful.”
Sailor Star asks, “Do you think that our accessories would work here?”

Naruto says, “Give it a try.”

Sailor Moon says, “Activating Power Scope!” Just then a visor looking like Cyclops visor appears in front of Sailor Moon’s eyes surprising the others.

Sailor Star says, excitedly, “It worked!”

Sailor Moon says, excitedly, “Cool!”

Sailor Venus asks, “What is that?”

Sailor Moon says, “It’s an advanced scanner system and I’ve just uploaded what it has to scan for. If there are ‘creatures’ made of any digital information other than the Digimon and even Digimon that aren’t our partners, we’ll know about it.”

A similar vision appears in front of Sailor Star’s eyes and she says, “This also enhanced the power of my Byakugan when dealing with targets in the ‘real world’.”

Sailor Venus says, “That’s useful.”

They continue on for a while until Sailor Moon says, “We’ve got company coming. A group of monsters have just ‘spawned’ and they’re coming at us.”

Yolei asks, nervously, “What? Where?”

Sailor Star says, “They’ll be here in ten seconds.” Soon after, five dozen Scavenger Toad, multi-eyed toad-like monsters, appear in front of them.

Kazuto says, “Now, these very familiar.”

Sailor Moon says, “Yuck! Gross!”

Ken asks Kazuto, “Didn’t you say that these monsters were equal to level sixty floors?”

Kazuto says, “Yeah, they were.”

Sailor Moon and Sailor Star deactivate their visors and Sailor Moon says, “They won’t be here for long.”

Naruto says, with a nod, “Right, Moon-chan!” Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto line up and unleash a barrage of energy that vaporizes the monsters in front of them.

Sailor Milky Way says, “That’s sis’ ability!”

Lopmon says, amazed, “Not anymore, Jun.”

Sailor Sun says, with a sigh, “I figured that would happen sooner or later. I did form my attacks on the bases of chakra form like in Naruto’s Rasengan after all.”

Yui tells Kazuto, “Daddy, this isn’t SAO. This is a living virtual world and I know that you can perform magic and such.”

Kazuto asks, “Are you sure?”

Yui says, with a nod, “Yes, but you will need your ALO avatar form in order to use magic, however, your ALO avatar is mixed in with your SAO avatar in your virtualized form here.”

Kazuto asks, surprised, “Really?”

Yui says, “You will need to pull up your menu, daddy.” Kazuto then pulls up a pop-up player menu like in SAO/ALO and Yui says, “Now, you will need to look up ‘avatar forms’ menu.”

Kazuto goes through it and he says, seeing a display that says ‘avatar forms’, “Hey, here it is!”

Yui says, with a smile, “Now, you can switch between your SAO and ALO avatars, but like in ALO, you can’t fly in dungeons, so, I wouldn’t recommend changing.”

Kazuto says, “But night vision magic might come in handy if we get to an area that we can’t see it.”

Yui says, with a nod, “Good point, daddy.”

Kazuto closes the menu and he says, “Thanks, Yui.”

Yui responds, with a smile, “No problem!”

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, “That’s handy.”

Rika says, “I’ll say.” The group continues and after a few more monster encounters, they are walking down the same room where the black stone/data terminal was located.

Kazuto says, “This is all too familiar.”

Sailor Star says, with her visor on, “High powered monster coming this way. It is most likely similar to a Boss Monster from SAO.”

Sailor Moon says, with a nod, “Thought so.”

Yolei asks Asuna, “Did you encounter something like this back in SAO?”

Asuna says, “Yes. The monster was a really powerful one to keep players away from the data terminal down here. GM could only use it and the commander… Kayaba was the only GM in Sword Art Online, but he didn’t take any chances.”

Sailor Moon says, “Aincard! Equip! Power Eraser!” Just then sword with a saw-like blade appears in her right hand and it is engulfed in flames.

Sailor Star says, “You have one shot, sis.” Sailor Moon nods her head as the monster, a huge grim reaper liker monster known as ‘The Fatal Scythe’ appears, but Sailor Moon launches the sword in which it stabs it in the chest and the monster roars out as it is engulfed in flames and vanishes with a ‘pop’ sound.

There are gasps and Kazuto asks Yui, “Yui, is that…?”

Yui responds, “It is similar to the Eraser program that I used before.”

Sailor Moon says, “With a few modifications that dad and mom made after getting the low down on the program in SAO and modifying it to work in a living virtual world.”

Sailor Venus says, “Wish we had that in SAO.”

Sailor Star says, shaking her head, “One time weapon, Venus.”

Naruto says, “Anyway, let’s go, believe it!” Afterwards, the group enters the room.

Kazuto says, “This is like the data terminal back in SAO.” Sailor Moon then waves her hand in front of it and a holographic keyboard appears on the data terminal and a holographic screen above it in which Kazuto asks, “But how?”

Sailor Moon says, “Kayaba left something inside of me.”

Sailor Star says, “We found this out recently, but we think that Serenity-onee-chan has GM administrative privileges around here.”

There are multiple gasps and Sailor Mars asks, “You’re joking?”

Naruto says, shaking his head, “Nope!”

Sailor Moon types a bit on the keyboard and she says, “Okay, I’m in.” Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “But I need a top level hacker to see to the rest.”

Davis stretches his hands and he says, with a grin, “Let the master show you how it is done!”

Yolei asks, drolly, “Seriously?” Davis glares at Yolei as he goes over to the keypad and starts to type at a rapid pace in which after a minute, he whistles and he says, “Exactly like SAO. It is tough to hack into here. I have to say that your GM account in this place is limited however. I can only access so much and hack a bit more afterwards. Hold up! What’s this?”

Kari asks, “What’s up, Davis?”

Davis says, “Hollow Area? It seems like there was a locked area in SAO that was used for testing various things for the game.”

There are surprised looks and Kazuto asks, “Locked area?”

Yui says, “Concealed Areas in Aincard used for development tests, daddy. The Hollow Area must be a testing site to implement new elements into SAO during development. Tests for everything from items to weapons to skills must be tested before put into the game itself. They tested them to see how they would affect the game’s balance and even a small one could create large errors.”

Kazuto says, with a nod of understanding, “And the tests were conducted in a limited to see the effects without affecting the game itself.”

Yui says, with a nod, “That’s right, papa.”

Sailor Uranus asks, “But this isn’t SAO?”

Yui says, with a nod, “True, but this living virtual world has similar properties since it is ‘MMO format’ and I believe that this is a living virtual world, it would be wise to test elements of this new Aincard to see what could the elements cause to the castle and the greater virtual world.”

Naruto says, “Let’s worry about that later. Let’s find these jerks and kick their asses including the madman that dares to take Moon-chan’s memories!”

Davis says, “Hold up. I just found that this terminal was used to research that ‘Hollow Area’.”

There are gasps of surprise and Tai asks, “By who?”

Davis retorts, “Who do you think?”

Kazuto asks, “PoH? But how?”

Davis says, “From what I can see, someone gave him a way to access this terminal and he was researching this area including something called ‘Parallel Realm Mirror’. I don’t get what it is.”

Kazuto says, “If he is into that, it isn’t a good thing at all. We need to go after him.”

Davis says, with a grin, “Already on it, Kazuto.” Just then there is a glow from everyone and they look to see glowing crosses on their right hands.

Cody asks, “What’s this?”

Davis says, “A ‘high level test player recognition code’. It will say that we are high lever test players testing various ‘elements’ in the Hollow Area. However, we’ll need to go to the teleport ring and say ‘Teleport: Hollow Area Control Center. And from the control center, we can get to this ‘Hollow Area’ from there.”

Tai says, “And from there, we can get to that nutjob.”

Matt says, with a nod, “No joke, Tai. We can’t let a murderous asshole cause any more chaos.”

Asuna asks, “Why is he here in this world?”

Kazuto says, “I wish that I knew, Asuna-chan.”

Rika says, “Well, it can’t be a good thing.”

Kazuto tells Keiko, “Silica, you should head home. It has been safe so far, but we can’t…”

Keiko shakes her head and she replies, “Pina and I are going with you! Many of us were fighting to survive in there along with you and Asuna and this is no different! I can take care of myself, Kirito-san! I promise!”

Kazuto and Asuna are concerned, but Rika says, with a sigh, “It’s your fault, Kirito. You did give her this confidence after all.”

Sailor Sun tells Sailor Celestial, “Celestial, you had better keep an eye on her.”

Sailor Celestial says, with a smile, “Sure! She is one of Kazuto’s friends!”

Sailor Sun says, “Better let her come along, but if things get too ‘dicey’ then get her to hit the road.” Keiko smiles in approval and Sailor Sun says, with a stern glare, “However, like I said, you and your dragon friend better hit the road when we tell you to or Data Squad might be talking to your parents.”

Keiko responds, with a nervous expression, “Okay, Sailor Sun-dono!”

Sailor Milky Way says, with a smile, “That’s my sister for you.”

Matt says, with a sigh, “No kidding, Jun.” Soon enough, the group heads out as they prepare to enter the ‘Hollow Area’ and Sailor Celestial goes over to Sailor Sun.

Sailor Celestial asks, in a whisper, “Do you think that Keiko has something to do with the Silver Millennium too?”

Sailor Sun says, “When I regained all of my memories as Sakura Haruno, I also gained a portion of my memories as Princess Sakuya. Call it a ‘royal instinct’ and that’s it for now.” Sailor Celestial decides to nod her head through not fully understanding what Sailor Sun meant.

(Later on)

Our group teleport into what looks like a corridor that pure white in color with marking to direct people all over the place through the lettering doesn’t seem to be readable.

Sailor Saturn asks, “Where are we?”

Sailor Neptune says, “It looks like the passageway to a modern day lab or high tech facility.”

Mimi asks, curiously, “What’s something like this doing in a place that’s so… old fashioned?”

Palmon says, “Well, this is a virtual world, Mimi.”

Gabumon says, “Well, I don’t see anyone around.” Just then the lights around the area turn red and alarms blare out.

Gatomon tells Gabumon, “You just had to say it, Gabumon?” Soon after, three duplicates of Illfang the Kobold Lord come out and all three of them have five health bars with three Ruin Kobold Sentinels in front of each of them.

Ken says, “This seems very familiar.”

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nod, “No joke, Ken.”

Naruto hands the Star Saber to Sailor Star and he says, “Hold this for a minute, Hinata-chan.”

Sailor Star responds, “Okay, Naruto-kun.” Naruto then draws two new swords, one of them looks like a silver version of Elucidator with a jeweled hilt while the other one looks similar in design to Dark Repulser, but the blade is transparent and prism-like and the jewel in the hilt guard is a diamond, in which he prepares to use a jutsu.

“Multi-Shadow Clone Jutsu!”

There is a ton of smoke and out of that smoke, a whole legion of Naruto Shadow Clones welding those swords come out and ram into the Kobold Sentinels like a tsunami.

Sailor Moon says, “Nice one, Naruto!” Sailor Moon says, “Aincard! Duel Equip! Oathkeeper and Oblivion!” Soon after, Sailor Moon’s Oathkeeper and Oblivion swords appear on her back and she draws them.

“Celestial Shining Mirror Change, Make-up: SAO Black Swordsman!”

Sailor Celestial then transforms into her ‘Black Swordsman’ form and she says, “Aincard! Duel Equip! Elucidator! Dark Repulser!” After said swords appear on her back, Sailor Celestial draws them and prepares for battle while the others also prepare to fight.

Sailor Moon says, “I’ll start this off, everyone!” Sailor Moon’s Oathkeeper sword is surrounded by a vortex of wind chakra energy while her Oblivion is surrounded by fire chakra energy in which she combined them into a powerful firestorm twister that vaporizes one of the three Kobold Lords in which his health bars become zero in no time.

The others are amazed and Sailor Jupiter says, “Holy crap!”

Yolei says, amazed, “She is good.”

“Elemental Stream!”

Sailor Celestial then performs the same attack that she used on Yamato’s massive wood golem on the second Kobold Lord and nearly takes him out, but he has half of his last health bar remaining, however, Sailor Saturn comes in and cuts it in two to end it.

Sailor Saturn tells Sailor Celestial, “Great job, Celestial.”

Sailor Celestial responds, “You, two, Sailor Saturn.” Kazuto uses his Duel Welding Starburst Stream on the final Kobold Lord while Asuna aids him with Linear with Sailor Uranus using her Space Sword Blaster for a finisher. However, all three Kobold Lords leave fifteen Ruin Kobold Sentinels, each, after they shatter into polygons of data.

Joe says, “That takes care of them, but they left us plenty of trouble.”

Davis says, “Get behind me, everyone! I’ll finish this!” Not wanting to argue with Davis, they get behind him with Naruto dispelling his clones as he focuses his powerful chakra for his attack.

“Fire Style: Majestic Flame Jutsu!”

Davis unleashes a huge wave of flames at the enemy and they are vaporized on contact leaving plenty of others in shock.

Naruto asks, stunned, “Whoa! Where did you learn to do that jutsu?”

Davis retorts, with a droll tone, “Something ‘gramps’ left me.”

Naruto is confused and he then remembers what Hinata/Sailor Star told him in which he says, with a nod, “Oh.”

Sailor Uranus says, “Anyway, we don’t have time to spare.”

Sailor Mars says, “Good point, Uranus.” Our group then head off and they find themselves within a room that contains something exactly looking like the Quantum Mirror from Stargate SG-1.

Keiko asks, “A mirror?”

Just then an evil chuckle is heard and a male voice says, “So, you are here, you beater bastard?” Kazuto draws his swords as PoH walks out from behind the ‘device’ that looks like the Quantum Mirror.

Ken says, seriously, “It is him! The leader of Laughing Coffin!”

Yolei asks, with a sneer, “What are you doing here?”

PoH responds, with an evil smile, “I’m just here for revenge against that beater bastard even though it isn’t the one that I know that I will kill once and for all.”

There are confused looks and Cody asks, “What do you mean?” PoH doesn’t reply as he goes to the mirror and the instant that he is in front of it, there is a flash and he seems to be inside of the mirror!

Sailor Venus asks, “What the fuck?”

Yolei asks, “How did he get in a mirror?”

Sailor Mercury, who has her visor and computer out, says, “That’s not a mirror! It is some kind of gateway device!”

The others are shocked and Joe asks, “Where does it go?”

Naruto says, with a serious tone, “Doesn’t matter, Joe-san! We can’t let that murderous nut get away!” Naruto rushes forward after PoH and Agumon (N) in which they got into the ‘mirror’ and they appear on the other side.

Sailor Star says, concerned, “Naruto-kun!” Soon after, Sailor Star, Sailor Moon, and Lunamon also go through the ‘mirror’ and appear on the other side.

Sailor Mars slaps her forehead and she says, “Damn it, Sailor Moon!” Soon after, Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune, Sailor Saturn, and Sailor Pluto also through the ‘mirror’ and go to the other side of the gateway, but when Sailor Venus and Sailor Jupiter make the attempt, they slam into a force-field that knocks them to the ground on their butts in which the other Scouts look to see.

Yolei asks, “Mina-chan, are you okay?”

Sailor Venus says, “I’ll be fine when the room stops spinning, Yolei.” Kazuto goes up and feels the force-field.

Sora asks, “A force-field?”

Mimi asks, “Why did it appear now?”

Kazuto responds, “It may only allow a limited number of people to go through that gateway.” Kazuto then takes out a crystal that looks like the corridor crystal from SAO and he says, “I’m going to test something! If this comes through, catch it!” Kazuto throws the crystal and it goes through the gateway in which Sailor Pluto catches it.

Rika says, “It got through!”

Kazuto says, “It looks like it allows a number of people to go through, but not items.”

Sailor Pluto says, “We can use this to return to the gateway when we are done here. Try to figure out what this gateway is on your end.”

Izzy says, with a nod, “Understood, Sailor Pluto.”

Sailor Mars says, seriously, “Let’s go, everyone! We are going to lose that Meatball Head, her ‘royal sister’, and Naruto, who tends to be a male version of our princess.” The Sailor Scouts that gone through the gateway take off after Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, Naruto, and their two Digimon partners after Sailor Pluto sets up the corridor crystal.

Keiko then sees something and she says, pointing over there, “Over there, everyone!” Pina then flies over to data terminal similar to the one in Blackiron Palace, but it is a lot bigger than that one in which the group goes over to it in which Davis manages to easily access the information and pulls up a screen causing the group to become wide-eyed at the information displayed.

Yolei asks, deadpanning, “You have got to be kidding me, right?”

Tai says, “I don’t think that this is a joke.”

Kari says, “Is it even possible? It seems like science fiction.”

Matt says, “Remember, Kari, things like the Digital World and Full-Dive technology would be considered ‘science fiction’.”

Cody says, “And this is what PoH meant by what he just said: ‘Killing Kazuto, but not the one that he knows’.”

Mimi asks, “Is there anything that we can do?”

Palmon says, “Not unless we get through the force-field.”

Gatomon says, “And we have no idea on how it works.”

Sailor Jupiter asks, “What about communication?”

Izzy says, “Well, the gateway is still open and it leads into another virtual world in that timeline, we might be able to create a communication link.” Izzy tells Davis, Yolei, and Kazuto, “I’m going to need the three of you to help me.”

Yolei says, with a nod, “Got it, Izzy.”

Ken says, “I can help too.”

Izzy says, “I know, Ken. And thanks.” Soon after, Davis, Yolei, Ken, Kazuto, and Izzy assemble around the large data terminal and multiple holographic keyboards appear on its surface in which they start to type as multiple holographic screens appear while Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus can’t help to look at the gateway and wonder what kind of world that their friends have gone off to chase the leader of the SAO ‘red guild’ Laughing Coffin.

(A short time later on; Elsewhere)

Within a strange control room that has a teleport panel and another data terminal like the one inside of one at Blackiron Palace in SAO, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Mars, and the Outer Sailor Scouts are looking at it and the multiple holographic screen as well as one displaying a familiar floating castle with Sailor Mercury typing on the data terminal.

Sailor Saturn says, “This looks like the Hollow Area Control Room that we were just in.”

Sailor Mercury says, her eyes widen, “We are, but the one in Sword Art Online!”

There are gasps and Sailor Uranus says, “That can’t be possible!”

Sailor Mercury says, “Based on the information that I can get from this terminal, it is!”

Sailor Mars asks, “How did we get into SAO when it was already cleared?”

Sailor Pluto responds, “I believe that I know.” When everyone looks at Sailor Pluto, she says, “I believe that we are in an alternate timeline: A parallel universe.”

There are more gasps and Sailor Neptune says, “You mean a universe that’s very similar to others, but with certain differences.”

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “Correct, Neptune. I sensed temporal energy coming from that device that we went through.”

Sailor Mercury says, “We might be in a universe where Kazuto didn’t beat Kayaba since the terminal says that the current time is around one month after the game was cleared in our world.”

Sailor Uranus says, “That’s not good.”

Sailor Mercury says, “It gets worse. From what I could get from this terminal, the Cardinal System, the program that runs SAO, is suffering multiple errors due to an overload of some kind.”

Sailor Mars asks, “So, this version of SAO might be suffering from ‘bugs’?”

Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, “Yes, Mars. However, it is stable enough to keep this world running for the time being.”

Sailor Uranus says, “If this is an alternate universe, let’s not interact with anyone despite our counterparts are still in this ‘real world’ of this universe. We need to find our princesses, Naruto, and that murderous nut and get them back to our universe.”

Sailor Pluto says, “The corridor crystal that Kazuto-san gave me will work, but I think that it is best that we are out in the Hollow Area when we use it to get back. It’s already set for that location.”

Sailor Neptune says, “Let’s find the Kazuto of this timeline. PoH was assured that he was here. It could be that this is a universe where Kazuto-san listened to Asuna-san and not dueled Kayaba and decided to become stronger to take him down.”

Sailor Mercury says, “That’s a logical theory, Neptune.”

Sailor Mars says, “But we won’t know for sure. And we can’t exactly sneak up on him. This is SAO and we’re virtual now too. He has a high search skill level. He’ll detect us long before we can get within visual range.”

Sailor Neptune says, “We don’t know if our powers will work here since SAO doesn’t have magic.” Sailor Neptune says, with a smile, “However, we have our new Legendium forms and it includes multiple weapon using forms.”

Sailor Pluto says, creating a pop-up player menu, “And we’ve also got these.” Just then multiple black cloaks with hoods come into Sailor Pluto’s hands and she says, with a smile, “I managed to use the information on SAO to find these. They are special cloaks that will hide us from even someone with a high search skill like Kazuto-san.”

Sailor Mars says, with a smile, “That’s great, Pluto!”

Sailor Pluto says, with a plain tone, “However, they will only work for a limited time and then he will be able to detect us through he won’t know our exact location.”

Sailor Uranus says, “For now, let’s find the Kazuto of this timeline. Since that murderous ass is after him, he must be confident that he can do it.”

Sailor Mars asks, “What I want to ask: How did he get into this virtual world? How did he know about this? And most of all, who helped him?”

Sailor Saturn asks, “You think that someone helped him?”

Sailor Mars says, “The guy is smart, but I’m not sure about technically smart.”

Sailor Uranus says, with a nod, “You have a point, Mars. Right now, we need to worry about later.” The other Sailor Scouts nod their heads in agreement and Sailor Mercury prepares to use the terminal to find a way to teleport them into this universe’s version of Aincard without being detected by the other players. In this alternate version of SAO, we find Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto are also wearing similar cloaks with hood that Sailor Pluto ‘pulled out’ near a town on the seventh-sixth floor of this Aincard known as Arc Sofia.

Naruto says, “It is a good thing that you got these cloaks and turned our Data Link Digivices into in-game items so we wouldn’t get caught by the error detectors, believe it.”

Sailor Star says, “It is also a good thing that the Cardinal System in this SAO is suffering from malfunctions and errors, so, security isn’t too good here for the moment.”

Sailor Moon says, “But it also works out for that monster. He is here to kill the ‘Kirito’ of this SAO and we need to find him.”

Naruto says, pointing over there, “I already see him, Moon-chan.” Everyone looks to see an exact duplicate of Kazuto in his SAO avatar waking out of the town and into the fields of the seventh-sixth floor of this Aincard.

Sailor Star asks, “Can he detect us?”

Sailor Moon replies, shaking her head, “No, not right now. These cloaks work like his coat only better.”

Naruto says, “Cool.” Naruto then looks to see that this version of Kazuto, who we will call Kirito, is looking around with a deadly serious look on his face and looking around.

Sailor Star asks, “He seems serious?”

Naruto says, with a serious tone, “It isn’t us. It’s someone else and I think I know who.” Sailor Moon takes out her Elucidator and Dark Repulser swords and slip them under the long sleeves of her cloak. Just then this universe’s version of Asuna, Rika, Keiko, Kari, Ken, Yolei, Cody, Lita, and Mina come out of the city and go over to Kirito.

Asuna says, “Kirito-kun!”

Kirito responds, “Asuna! Lis! Silica! Everyone, what are you doing here?”

Ken says, “Probably the same thing that you are doing.”

Cody says, “I sensed the intruder, Kirito.”

Kirito says, looking in one direction, “And he can come out now.”

Just then a familiar sinister male voice says, “You haven’t changed, you beater bastard.” Soon after, PoH steps out into the open and Kirito draws his two swords as well as the others getting into defensive stances.

Kirito says, with a sneer, “You!”

Asuna asks, her rapier drawn, “What are you doing here?”

PoH responds, “I believe you have me confused for someone else. I am leader of Laughing Coffin, but not the one that you know.”

Yolei asks, “What do you mean by that?” PoH snaps his fingers and out of his body, he makes seven duplicates of himself.

There are gasps and this world’s version of Rika, Lisbeth, asks, flabbergasted, “What’s going on?”

Ken says, “You can’t do that! You would have to be a GM to do such a thing!”

PoH responds, “You will never know.” But before he could make the motion to attack, there is a bright glow from the sky and a group of feminine yells is heard as a group crashes into the ground in which everyone looks to see the Sailor Scouts that followed Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto into this alternate reality, wearing the cloaks that they have, but their hoods are down.

Sailor Mars says, “Ouch!”

Sailor Mercury says, with a winch, “I must have… miscalculated.”

Mina asks, shocked, “Girls?!”

The Sailor Scout look at the others starring at them and Sailor Uranus says, “So much for going undetected.”

PoH giggles and he says, “Well, here to stop me, are you? You never know when to give up.”

Just then Sailor Moon’s voice booms, “That’s because we don’t know the word ‘quit’ baka!” Soon after, one of PoH’s clones gets behind by Sailor Moon, but since she is wearing her hood, no one knows that it is her. She then bisects two more clones in half in quick session, but she barely dodges attack from another two causing the sleeves of her cloak to get damaged to reveal her swords.

This universe’s version of Keiko, Silica, asks, “Those are… Kirito’s swords?” The other duplicates surround Sailor Moon, but quick as a flash, they were cut down with ease, however, the real PoH manages to sneak up to a blind spot.

Kirito shouts out, “Look out!” Sailor Moon looks as PoH swipes at her with his weapon, Mate Chopper, at her, but she manages to dodge with no damage to her body, however, her cloak is destroyed, revealing herself.

Lita asks, surprised, “Sailor Moon?!”

Sailor Mars says, “Not the one that you know.” The members of SAO in this universe are confused and Sailor Moon flings her coat at PoH in which he is blind, but he fling it off only to have Sailor Moon’s Dark Repulser at his face, however, he blocks it with his weapon.

PoH tells her, “You traveled all this way to stop me?”

Sailor Moon responds, “As long as there are sickos like you, ‘real’ or ‘virtual’, I’m going to be there kick you in the butt!” Sailor Moon then kicks PoH in the chest and sends him skidding back.

PoH tells Sailor Moon, “Now, you are in my world.”

Sailor Moon responds, “This is the only world since you hate the real world… Vassago Casals.” There are surprised looks, especially from PoH, and Sailor Moon says, with a grin, “That’s your real name. You are an American, born in San Francisco, and you are a real nut, Vassago-san.”

PoH gives a stunned look, he then laughs, and he says, with an evil smile, “I see. You have very clever friends. It will be the ultimate pleasure to slit your throat right before their eyes.”

Sailor Moon replies, with a sly grin, “I don’t think so.” Sailor Moon says, “System Log-In, Special ID Moonbunny, Password: Usagi of the Moon.” Just then multiple screens appear around Sailor Moon, much to everyone else’s shock, and Sailor Moon says, “System command: Enable special administrator privileges and activate GM protection protocols. Engage player paralysis with ten meter radius to all players with player ID PoH.” PoH realizes he is in trouble and he moves in to attack Sailor Moon, but she says, plainly, “Enable now.” PoH then gasps as he collapses like a ton of bricks to the ground right in front of Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon smirks as she puts her swords away in which she takes Mate Chopper and crushes it with her bare hands making it turn into data particles.

PoH asks, “But how?”

Sailor Moon responds, with a smirk, “Funny thing. When we went over the programming for SAO, we found that there was a special GM account made for a certain Serena Tsukino.” Sailor Moon puts her swords away, takes PoH’s weapon, and she crushes it with her bare hands in which she says, “Okay, Vassago-san, time to talk.”

PoH responds, “What’s there to talk about?”

Sailor Moon says, “You are deadly smart jerk, but you don’t have the brains or the resources to get here as well as manipulate a Cardinal System like this.”

PoH tells Sailor Moon, “I don’t speak to dead women.” Sailor Moon glares at PoH, but she then gets a bad feeling in which she leaps away from an energy attack from the skies and when she is able to see where the attack came from, a massive dragon that exactly looks like Bahamut Fury from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children appears and that’s what its name is and it has seven health bars.

Yolei asks, “What is that?”

Kirito asks, stunned, “Seven health bars?!”

Asuna says, “That can’t be possible! Not even boss monsters have that many!”

Sailor Moon glares at PoH, who manages to get to his feet, and he says, “Lesson, little girl. Always keep an ace in the hole!” Bahamut Fury glares at Sailor Moon, but then roars in pain as two swords come from its right and impale it in the neck in which Sailor Moon glances to see Naruto and Sailor Star, still covered in their cloaks and hoods, make their appearance.

Sailor Moon says, “Good advice, jerk! Aincard! Duel Claw Equip! Oathkeeper! Oblivion! Flare Blazer! Nunoboko Excalibur! Blood Sword! Anastasia! Elucidator! Dark Repulser!” Sailor Moon’s two swords vanish from her back and appear in the air in front of her with Oathkeeper, Oblivion, Nunoboko Excalibur, Flare Blazer, a sword looks like the Blood Sword from Final Fantasy XII, and a sword that looks like Anastasia from Final Fantasy XII: Revenant Wings. She then takes four of the swords into her left hand and the other four into her right hand in which she puts the hilts of the swords in-between her fingers in each hand. As Bahamut Fury turns to face Sailor Moon, all of the swords glow in her hands.

“Moon Starclaw Stream!”

Sailor Moon then slashes the massive dragon in the waist with the swords in her left hand and spins around and slashes it with the swords in her right hand in which she kicks it with her right foot right on the chin causing it to stumble. When it regains its focus, the massive dragon gets slashes in the face by four swords twice causing it to roar out in pain and Sailor Moon does an aerial forward flip in which she brings down the glowing swords like claws down the massive dragon’s face and body causing incredible damage to it. However, Bahamut Fury manages to recover and swings back to bash Sailor Moon with its right fist, but its right hand is cut off by Naruto with one swipe. This gives Sailor Moon the opening the she needs as she slashes at its neck and lands behind the massive dragon in which it seems frozen.

Sailor Moon says, “You’re moon dust.” Just then Bahamut Fury’s head comes clean off and his health becomes zero in which he disintegrates into data particles.

Mina says, “No way!”

Lita says, “That can’t be Sailor Moon! She… She wasn’t this powerful!”

Sailor Uranus says, “That’s because she isn’t your Sailor Moon. She is our Sailor Moon and we’re not your Sailor Scouts.”

Mina asks, “What’s that supposed to mean?” All of Sailor Moon’s swords, minus Elucidator and Dark Repulser, return to her sub-space pockets while Sailor Moon puts the two swords back to her back in which she turns to see PoH back on his feet.

Sailor Moon asks, surprised, “Huh?”

PoH takes a corridor crystal and he says, “Another day perhaps.” PoH activates the corridor crystal, creating a blue portal in which he goes through, but Naruto grabs onto Sailor Star and Sailor Moon and they zip through the portal before it closes behind them!

Sailor Mars says, “Rats! Not again!” Just then a holographic button appears in front of Sailor Mercury and the others look at it curiously.

Sailor Saturn asks, “What is that?”

Sailor Mercury says, “I think that I know.” Sailor Mercury pushes the button and a large massive holographic screen showing the others inside of the lab containing the ‘gateway mirror’ in front of everyone.

The others give a look of surprise, Rika rubs her eyes, and on the screen, Yolei asks, “Am I seeing things?”

Ken tells Yolei, “No, you aren’t.”

Izzy says, “Hey, girls! I can see that you realized where you are.”

Lisbeth asks, annoyed, “Okay, what the heck is going on here?” On the screen, Davis, Izzy, Kazuto, Asuna, Sailor Venus, Sailor Jupiter, Tai, Matt, Sora, and plenty of the others give nervous looks.

Kazuto responds, “It’s a long story.”

Sailor Jupiter asks, “Have you seen those science fiction shows about alternate universes?”

Kirito asks, “So, you are another version of us?”

Davis says, “Basically.”

Sailor Jupiter asks, “What happened to Sailor Moon and the others?”

Sailor Mars says, “Meatball Head and the others went after that bad excuse for a butcher through a corridor crystal. No idea where she is now.”

Davis says, slapping his forehead, “Just great.”

Sailor Pluto says, “We had basically explain about what’s going on here.”

Ken says, “We had better do it in Arc Sofia.” The others nods their head and they head off into the town with the holographic screen containing the others follow along in which Kirito glances in a direction, but doesn’t say anything where in that direction, a cloaked figure heads off into the distance.

(Elsewhere; A short time soon after)

Within a dark forested area, Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto are looking around for any signs of PoH, but don’t see anything.

Naruto says, with a snort, “That guy is slippery as a snake!”

Sailor Star asks, “Why do you think that he went here?”

Sailor Moon says, “It doesn’t matter. We need to find him.” The three of them head off, but then a strange glowing feather floats down in front of them.

When Sailor Moon catches it, Sailor Star asks, “What is it, Sailor Moon?” Sailor Moon puts a finger in front of it and a pop-up screen that displays it as a item known as ‘Feather of a Valkyrie’.”

Naruto asks, “Feather of a Valkyrie?”

Sailor Moon says, “I don’t know why, but I feel that I should keep it.” Sailor Moon puts it away into an item inventory and the group continues on their mission to find the murderous SAO survivor now in an alternate SAO to continue his murderous work and stop him.

And that’s the end of the chapter, everyone! I think that I got Suguha’s personally down right because based on what I saw in the anime/manga/light novels of Sword Art Online, I think that it would Suguha’s reaction and answers to being a Sailor Scout and ‘on the frontlines’. Anyway, this is a real long chapter, probably as long or even longer than the tenth chapter of New Moon Ninja, folks. Anyway, read and review and later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
