Sailor Moon Fan Fiction / Naruto Shippuden Fan Fiction / Crossover Fan Fiction ❯ Sailor Moon Shippuden GT: Grand Tour ❯ Requiem for a Sailor Soldier ( Chapter 24 )

Anyway, I would to start this chapter by saying that I’ve gone over my previous story of this story series, New Moon Ninja, in which I just remembered an element of the story that was what you would call an ‘unsolved mystery’ and it has to involve the special weapons that were the part of the main focus of the plot of New Moon Ninja. If you have read the story, then you may have an excellent idea on what I am talking about, everyone. Also, once again, I would like to give credit to Belletiger and Kanius and Kanius’ YuYuGiDigiMoon series, especially his The Invasion of the Rajita story, for the idea of Valkyrie Sailor Soldiers.

Chapter 24: Requiem for a Sailor Soldier

Inside of the North Pole and ruined former Negaverse base, a completely healed Kaguya is inside and she unleashing a surge of power that shakes the whole area down to the foundation.

Kaguya says, with a sneer, “She will pay for her betrayal!” Kaguya then creates an image of the Shinju and she says, “Shinju. You are a part of me and I won’t have a part of me defy me. You managed to split yourself, but you have failed to hide your fruit from me. I am restored, but I have yet to be whole.” Kaguya puts her hand on her forehead and she says, “The power of my Rinne Sharingan is incomplete and you made sure that I need you in order to regain its full power. And you split yourself off in order to make sure that I can’t find you, but I will find you and you will be back where you belong… as a part of me. And then Queen Serenity, her daughter, Asura, Indra, and her…” Kaguya remembers her battle with Valkyrie Sailor Sun and Kaguya says, with a sneer, “Sakuya will pay!”

(Over Odiaba; Later on)

On the back of Imperialdramon, the Digidestined and their Digimon partners, minus Veemon and Wormmon, the Sailor Scouts, Kazuto, Asuna, Rika, Keiko, and Suguha are flying over the district of Odiaba and seeing the ‘burn mark’ in the shape of the spider from the Nazca Lines.

Sora says, “This is just terrible.”

Ken says, “I know, Sora.”

Sakura says, “This is why my Gogglehead brother wanted us to stay away. We don’t have the protection of the Crimson Dragon like you guys do.”

Kazuto says, looking at his Mark of the Dragon, “This thing created a force-field that protected you.”

Kari says, with a nod, “That’s right, Kirito. The power of the Crimson Dragon protects its Signers if they are within the ‘shadow field’ of a Shadow Duel to protect him from getting ‘absorbed’ by an Earthbound Immortal.”

Hawkmon says, “But it seems like others aren’t so lucky.”

Cody says, “The whole city is in chaos. With the attacks from the rogue and Dark Digidestined, the youma attacks in Juuban, and everything else, much of the city has gone to a stop.”

Rika says, “No kidding. With what that witch chick did in our area, they cancelled school.”

Mimi says, “I can’t believe that TK would be a part of this.”

Matt says, “That’s not TK! At least, not the TK that we know!” Everyone looks at Matt, he says, “It may be TK in that undead body, but not in mind and spirit. The TK that we knew died over a year ago during our fight to save everyone trapped in SAO. This TK is a version twisted by the Earthbound Immortals by TK’s darkest emotions and turning him into a fiend and their pawn.”

Tai tells Davis, going over to him, “One that you need to defeat Davis.”

Davis says, with a nod, “Right, Tai.”

Tai then grabs Davis by the collar and he says, forcing Davis to look him in the eye, “No, Davis! You need to listen and listen well! Kari told me everything and I’ve got to yell this in your head! TK made the choice to give his life so that others might live! If it was anyone of us that was targeted by that monster that day, he would have still jumped in to save our lives at the cost of his own! You didn’t kill TK that day, Davis! TK’s murderer was none other than Akihiko Kayaba, a mad genocidal son of a bitch that trapped people in a living nightmare for two years and when he was beaten, he took the coward’s way out instead of accepting responsibility for his actions! If you don’t let go of this guilt, the twisted version of TK will beat you and you will have let the real TK’s sacrifice be in vein, Davis! Is that what you want?”

Davis says, plainly, “No, I don’t.”

Tai tells Davis, “We have to remember and accept this fact, Davis: The instant that we were chosen to be Digidestined, the specter of death is always at our throats!”

There are plenty of surprised looks and Matt says, with a nod, “That’s right. We are the best defense to protect the balance of the Digital and Real World since if the Digi-World goes, the Real World is a goner and vice-versa. Evil forces will be seeking the deaths of us and our Digimon since typically the Digimon are the power-houses and we are the ones that give the Digimon the power to fight them.”

Cody says, with a nod, “Matt has a point. The instant that we became Digidestined, there was always a chance that we would meet a violent end with our partners.”

Armadillomon says, concerned, “Cody.”

Biyomon says, “No way! We would rather get deleted than let that happen!”

Sora says, with a smile, “That’s right, but it doesn’t mean that an evil Digimon wouldn’t be able to kill us both, Biyomon.”

Ken says, with a nod, “This war that we are fighting with the rogue and Dark Digidestined makes it clearer ever since it started. We could die at any time.”

Kazuto says, “And that’s why you were able to take things better than most players in SAO.”

Yolei says, with a solemn smile, “Yeah, Kirito… I mean Kazuto. We were already under a ‘death threat’ before we got into SAO. When we became Digidestined, we just didn’t realize it at first. I’m sorry to bring up old wounds, but Ken was just controlled by the Dark Spore, not truly evil. And even Arukenimon and Mummymon and their creator, Oikawa, were controlled by someone namely Myotismon.”

Ken says, “But I think that the truly inkling of the danger that we were in is when the Digimon invaded the Real World and we fought truly evil Digimon like Daemon.”

Tai says, “It is a reality that we have to accept that our lives, like the Sailor Scouts and like the ninja from the ‘other world’, could end in the most violent of ways.”

Matt tells Davis, “And Davis, you have to accept that we can’t save anyone. We may have special powers that can allow us to do things beyond regular people or even Digimon, but we can’t save everyone.”

Amara says, with a nod, “Matt’s right. Even we, Sailor Scouts, can’t do everything or save everyone, but it doesn’t mean that we can’t try. Because if we don’t give it our all, there will unnecessary death and deaths that we can’t accept as protectors of the people.”

Raye tells Suguha, “But it doesn’t mean that we are invincible or immortal, Suguha. But then again, you know that already.”

Suguha responds, “No kidding, Raye.”

Tai tells Davis, “And TK gave his life so there was no unnecessary death and others can live, Davis! You want to honor that? You beat the crap out of that Dark Signer version of him and let TK’s spirit rest in peace!”

Matt says, with a deadly serious tone, “My mother nearly died out of grief because of what happened to TK and I’m not going to let her get scarred again! My brother deserves to rest in peace since he is a true hero! You want to show that you are a hero too, Davis?! Then give my brother his rest!”

Davis tells Matt, “I will, Matt, but not because I’m some hero. I’m not a hero.” Everyone gives a look of surprise and Davis says, “I’m a survivor and a fighter. And I’m going to save TK since I’m his friend, that’s why I intend to fight him and I will win.”

Davis looks down at the ‘burn mark’ in the city and Kari says, “Dai-kun…” Kari goes over to Davis, leans on him, and Davis puts her into his arms.

Davis thinks in his mind, in a determined tone, “I’m going to save you, TK! I may not give you another chance at life, but at least I can save your spirit from being swallowed by those Immortal freaks! You want me, bro?! You’ve got me!”

Suguha looks at the Sailor Scouts and Digidestined and she thinks, “They live their lives on the edge like Kazuto-onee-chan did during his time in SAO. But unlike big brother, they lived with the threat of death for years and years before SAO and they weren’t fighting monsters with simple programming. They were fighting living breathing and possibly intelligent monsters that can adapt and outwit them. And now, this is my destiny too.” Suguha thinks about her two battles with Mimete as Sailor Celestial and she then tells Sakura, “Sakura-sensei, can we get back to training right away?”

Plenty of the others look at Suguha and Kazuto says, “Sugu…” Kazuto then sees a powerful determined look in Suguha’s eyes.

Sakura says, with a nod, “No problem.”

Jun tells Suguha, “Don’t expect it to be any easier.”

Suguha responds, with a nod, “I know and in fact, I want it that way.”

Rika asks Asuna, “How are Yolko and Caynz?”

Asuna says, “They are obviously upset at what happened to Schmitt.”
Davis responds, with a determined tone, “Don’t worry, I’ll get him back.”

Kazuto responds, “We’ll get him back, Davis. Remember, I’m a Signer too. And I’m not going to let them get away with it even if one of them was your friend.”

Davis tells Kazuto, “I wouldn’t have it any other way, but remember, you have your own ‘demons’ to face.”

Kazuto says, with a nod, “I know. Leave Sachi to me.”

Matt tells Kazuto, “Are you sure that you can handle it?”

Kazuto responds, “I’m not sure, but if I don’t, Sachi will hurt other people in her rage. A rage that I know isn’t her own. Sachi was a kind and gentle person. Not the person that I saw some time ago. Those Immortals are using Sachi like a puppet and I can’t let that happen. If there is a chance to give Sachi her life back, I’m going to take it.”

Tai tells Kazuto, “It may not happen like the way that Yusei and the others fought the previous Dark Signers, Kazuto.”

Kazuto replies, “I think that Davis knows that for a fact. If anything, I give Sachi the rest that she deserves. I can’t just stand around and let her be used as a puppet to hurt innocent people. If I have the power to do something, I will.”

Rika, Keiko, and Asuna smile at this and Rika says, with a grin, “You are always doing this.”

Keiko says, with a smile, “It is why you are a good person, Kirito.”

Asuna says, with a nod, “Yes, he is, Silica.” Asuna tells Kazuto, “And I’m going to be with you all the way and don’t argue with me on this.”

Kazuto says, with a sigh, “I think that it would be pointless if I try.”

Rika says, with a grin, “Got that right.”

Michelle says, looking down at Odiaba from Imperialdramon’s back, “This is the world that we live in now.”

Lita says, “This isn’t the world that our princess and Naruto nearly died for.”

Amara says, “Then we fight and we win a better world.”

Raye says, with a nod, “Yeah. And we need to get stronger and do our best to get our princess and Naruto back from the darkness.” Mina, Lita, Amara, Michelle, and Trista nod their heads in agreement.

Ken tells Davis, “We had better get down there and figure out how much damage was done.”

Davis tells Imperialdramon, “You heard that buddy.”

Imperialdramon responds, “Gotcha, Davis.” Imperialdramon gently floats down as the others prepare to get down and help wherever and if they can from this disaster caused by the Shadow Duel between Davis and Obito.

(At MBI headquarters; later on)

Within MBI headquarters, Serena, Hinata, and Naruto are watching the situation in Odiaba unfold on their televisions with Serena having her baby girl, Rini, in her arms.

Hinata says, horrified, “This is terrible.”

Naruto says, “I know, Hinata-chan.”

Hinata asks Serena, “How is Rini doing?”

Serena responds, smiling, “Rini is sleeping peacefully.”

Naruto says, with a grin, “She is a real cutie. She must have inherited it from her mother.”

Serena says, with a blush, “Geez, Naruto-kun.”

Naruto says, looking at the scene on the televisions, “Anyway, we have got to stop this.”

Serena says, “We need to take the fight to them.”

Naruto looks at Serena in surprise and Naruto says, “Whoa, Serena.”

Serena says, “I don’t like to fight, but if I don’t stop Sapphire, he will do the same thing to Juuban.”

Naruto says, “I don’t get what Obito’s deal is this time, but I’ve got to stop his madness no matter what, believe it.”

Hinata says, “And I’ll be there with you to support you, Naruto-kun.”

Naruto says, “Thank you, Hinata-chan, but please don’t get too close. You don’t have protection like we do thanks to the Crimson Dragon.”

Hinata says, with a nod, “I understand, Naruto-kun.”

Serena asks, “So, how can we find them?”

Hinata asks, “Maybe where the last Dark Signers used to be?”

Naruto says, “That would be too obvious, believe it. However, it is worth a try.”

Serena says, with a nod, “It isn’t like we got any better clues.”

Hinata asks, “What about the Corona Aurora?”

Naruto and Serena give a look of surprise and Naruto says, with a nod, “Yeah. It is supposed to a well of knowledge right.”

Queen Serenity’s voice then booms, “And more knowledge comes into all of the time.”

Naruto, Serena, and Hinata look to see Queen Serenity and Geminios and Hinata says, “Serenity-mama…”

Geminios says, “It has a wealth of knowledge that grows every single day since it is connected to the greatest parts of our universe.”

Serena says, her eyes widening, “Wait! It might also find the Shinju too.”

Naruto gasps and he says, excitedly, “You’re right!”

Baby Rini then wakes up and starts to cry in which Serena tells Naruto, scolding tone in her voice, “Naruto-kun!”

Naruto says, nervously, “Oops! I’m sorry.” Naruto then makes funny and silly faces and when baby Rini looks at Naruto, she starts to giggle and laugh.

Hinata says, with a smile, “Rini-chan likes you.”

Naruto says, with a smile, “Well, I’m guess that I’m good with kids.” Naruto then allows baby Rini to grab his finger in which he yelps as baby Rini squeezes his finger and he says, nervously, “Strong and cute!”

Serena tells Rini, sweetie, “Now, sweetie pie, you are a strong girl. You are going to hurt Naruto-kun since you are cute and powerful. Okay, Rini?” Serena gentle nuzzles her and she says, “You may have been a pain, but you are my daughter. My girl. I love you, Rini-chan.” Baby Rini giggles and laughs gently and Serena goes over to an expensive crib in which she gently puts her down into it as well as put a pacifier into her mouth causing baby Rini to gently suck it.

When Serena goes back to the others, Hinata tells Serena, “She is a wonderful girl and she will grow up into a wonderful princess one day.”

Serena nods her head and she says, “And I intend for her to have that future, sis.”

Naruto asks, “So, what do we do Serena-chan?”

Serena responds, “We don’t have any clues, so, we’re going after Kayaba.” Naruto and Hinata nod their heads in agreement and they begin to discuss preparations on what they plan to do when they go back to Rainbow Gardens and Neo Aincard.

(Days later; Inside of Neo Aincard)

Returning to Rainbow Gardens, we find ourselves within Neo Aincard where we find none other than Leafa sitting down at a restaurant and taking a sip of tea as she makes sure to listen to everything around her in which she remembers why she is hear.

Flashback; Days ago

Inside of the Dicey Café, the Digidestined, their Digimon partners, Sailor Scouts, Kazuto, Suguha, Rika, Keiko, and Tsuboi are assembled in front of Andrew at the bar counter as they discuss what to do next.

Suguha asks, “An assault?”

Davis says, “We can’t stick to the defensive, Suguha-san. If we do that, disasters like in our hometown will happen again.”

Tai says, “Davis has a point. They know about all of the Signers and they know where they are at the moment.”

Kazuto says, “And that means that my town is a target.”

There are multiple gasps and Davis says, “And that’s why we have got to take to the offense and take them down now!”

Kari tells Davis, “But Davis, we have no idea where they are located.”

Ken says, “And I doubt that they would be at the place where the original Dark Signers were located.”

Mina asks Michelle, “What about your Aqua Mirror, Michelle?”

Michelle says, “I don’t think that it can work. They have very strong dark powers and they are most likely able to hide from my sight. I’ve already tried.”

Trista says, “There is one item that could find their location.” When everyone looks at Trista, she says, “The Corona Aurora. It is a well of practically infinite knowledge that continues to be ‘updated’ every single second and most likely, it already knows where the Dark Signers’ headquarters already is.”

Lita says, “Problem is that Kayaba has it.”

Yolei says, “We can’t be sure that he has it, Lita.”

Kazuto says, “I have a feeling that he does.” When everyone looks at Kazuto, he says, “Remember the fight in Data Squad’s virtual mainframe? I doubt that he would take the data and lose it so easily unless he really didn’t need it. Most likely, he already has that artifact and it could be part of the reason why he is so powerful in that virtual world.”

Asuna asks, “But why would he offer it as some kind of prize?”

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

Trista says, producing an image of a gorgeous crown with sparkling prism-like jewels on it, “However, it is assure that there are plenty that will go after despite them not wishing for the knowledge that it could bring.”

Rika whistles and Keiko says, with a smile, “It’s so pretty.”

Amara says, “Priceless.”

Matt says, “But if he is on the top floor of his new castle, it could take us forever to reach him and get that crown. Right now, we have no idea how far that the people of Rainbow Gardens gone up to if at all.”

Tai says, “I know, Matt. Right now, we don’t have any ideas or any leads to where the Dark Signers could be.”

Sora says, “And we have other problems with that Orochimaru ass causing chaos.”

Lopmon says, “Well, Jun managed to scare him off.”

Davis says, “Don’t bet on it, Lopmon.”

Sakura says, “Jun only managed to get the drop on him since he didn’t know the full extent of her abilities.”

Jun says, with a sigh, “Yeah, I know.” Jun says, with a smile, “Anyway, you managed to give your ex-crush the boot.”

Sakura says, with a blush of embarrassment, “Jun, I’m really not in the mood.”

Lita asks Sakura, “Are you sure that you didn’t cook him extra crispy?”

Sakura tells Lita, “Sasuke isn’t killed so easily, Lita. I know it.”

Gatomon says, “And I doubt that he appreciated the ‘free flight’.”

Renamon asks, “What would be your first clue, Gatomon?”

Gatomon gives a glare and Sakura says, “Most likely, he will be injured and recovering, but since he has the chakra of the Six Path Sage inside of him, he will recover in quick fashion and his Susanoo most likely took most of the damage for him.”

Davis says, “Right now, our main focus should be the Dark Signers. I can’t help to wonder what our ‘royal cousins’ are going to do about it.”

Jun says, “Most likely, they are figuring out what to do on their own. With Serenity being the way that she is now, I don’t think that she will take this lying down.”

Lopmon asks, “Maybe she will go after the Corona Aurora?”

Veemon says, “Yeah! It could help give her that she needs!”

Tai says, “Well, I’m not sure if we have that option. I mean, we don’t know when the Dark Signers will attack again and one of them has already caused enough damage and mayhem in our home!”

Sora tells Tai, “And we don’t have many clues to their location, Tai.”

Tai says, with a sigh, “You’re right, Sora.”

Matt says, “We need to get at least one clue to find their location and then we can figure out a plan from there.”

Raye says, “Good luck. They didn’t leave a single clue.” As the others discuss their plans for their operations against the Dark Signers, Suguha can’t help to think about Corona Aurora for one reason or another.

End Flashback; Return to the Present

Inside of the restaurant inside of Neo Aincard, Leafa thinks in her mind, “If we can get the Corona Aurora, we might be able to retrieve Serena’s memories too and she might ‘snap’ back to something that’s someone like her friends remember. Anyway, I learned that this place is much like the original SAO, but when you die here, you are taken to some kind of ‘revival chamber’ where your digital body is restored and then you are banished from Neo Aincard to Rainbow Garden. Not surprising that this ass prefers digital beings to people back in the real world even if they are humans like us. So far, they have been at this a long time since this world has accelerated time compared to the real world. Hopefully, I can remain here long enough before big brother and the others get wise that I’m missing.”

Just then a familiar male voice says, “Fancy meeting you here, stranger.” Leafa yelps as she recognizes the voice in which she whips around to see Kazuto, in his SAO avatar of Kirito, Asuna, in her SAO avatar form, Rika in her SAO avatar form of Lisbeth, the Digidestined, their Digimon partners, and the Sailor Scouts are all around her.

Leafa says, nervously, “Hey!”

Sailor Sun tells Leafa, “If you want to sneak out, I think that you need to learn from your bro or a ninja on how to be sneaky.”

Leafa asks, nervously, “So, you figured out what I was up to?”

Kazuto responds, “Pretty obvious when you sneak out with your Amusphere that contains all of your avatar data.”

Leafa says, nervously, “Yeah, it would be pretty obvious.”

Sailor Mars asks, “How did Molly get her hands on such technology?”

Sailor Pluto says, “Remember, she is a Sailor Scout like us. Sailor Nebula, the Guardian Soldier of all Star Seeds.”

Sailor Jupiter asks, “If she is a Sailor Soldier like us, why isn’t she fighting with us?”

Sailor Pluto says, “She may have a better idea of the bigger picture than even we do.”

Sailor Uranus asks, “What do you mean Pluto?”

Sailor Pluto says, “Sailor Nebula is a special Guardian Sailor Soldier and she might be close to a Sovereign class herself. However, she is known influence events from afar since you must suspect that as the Guardian Sailor Soldier of all Star Seed, she has incredible power and she tries not to interfere in the destinies of others especially fellow Sailor Soldiers due to the fact that Nebula can radically alter the destiny of those Sailor Soldiers and sometimes not for the better.”

Sailor Saturn asks, “Alter the destiny of Sailor Scouts?”

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, “And in ways that she may or may not know or control, so, she is a very careful in her actions.”

Sailor Uranus says, “However, it seems like Molly wants Leafa to do something here since she found a way to create a portable virtualization device.”

Sailor Mars says, “I know that her family runs a jewelry shop and it has been doing boomingly lately, but I’m not sure where she can get the money.”

Davis says, “Something tells me that we shouldn’t underestimate someone like that.”

Tai says, “No insult to your friend, but dealing with people like Gennai, even though we know that we can believe and trust him, working ‘behind the scenes’, it gets my ‘danger senses’ up.”

Sailor Venus says, “She is Serena’s childhood friend and in two lifetimes!”

Sailor Uranus says, “It doesn’t mean that she has her own agenda to get our princess back to herself.”

Sailor Jupiter asks, “Do you have to be suspicious of everyone?”

Sailor Sun says, “I don’t want to insult your friend, but Sailor Uranus knows the lesson to ‘look under what you see’ and she knows it well.”

Sailor Milky Way says, with a grin, “You would know that lesson well since you learned it the hard way.”

Sailor Sun glares at Sailor Milky Way and Sailor Sun asks, “You want to learn that lesson the same way, sis?”

Sailor Milky Way responds, nervously, “I think I’ll pass sis.”

Davis says, with a giggle, “Sakura is the only one that can ever make Jun nervous.”

Sailor Milky Way says, with a glare and dangerous smile, “And you don’t think that I can do it to you, bro? Remember, I’m a ‘rough and tough’ Sun Princess myself and I wasn’t a ‘fairy tale princess’.”

Davis thinks in his mind, as images of his days as the Sun Prince come back to his mind, “Tell me about Jun.”

Kazuto asks Leafa, “Sugu, what are you doing here?”

Leafa responds, with a sigh, “I was hoping to a find a clue to get straight to the top and take out Kayaba in order to get the Corona Aurora. I mean, with that crown, we can get the knowledge on the Dark Signers and find a way to restore Sailor Moon’s memories. I mean, if I beat Kayaba, I might get her memories back.”

Mimi says, “I don’t think that it will be that easy, Sugu… Leafa…”

Leafa responds, with a grin, “Just call me Leafa here. Anyway, this place is a lot like ALO too. You can actually fly here expect when you are in a dungeon.”

Kazuto says, “We know. We actually some people like the fairies of ALO.” Kazuto asks Leafa, “And is there another reason?”

Leafa responds, with a sigh, “Yeah, I… I actually wanted to get to know you better, Kazuto.”

There are surprised looks and Kazuto asks, “Get to know me better?”

Leafa says, “We might have raised as brother and sister, but we have grown apart and despite what happened with ALO and all, however, I feel that we still a ways to go. But I want to make this work between us and I feel that in order to do that, I need to understand you and what you went through. However, it is more than that big brother. I’m a Sailor Scout and I’m fighting a war to protect all that I love in which I’m facing an enemy that doesn’t fight like AI routines like in SAO and ALO. They also don’t play by any rules like in kendo and when I faced that youma, it was pretty clear to me. Actually, it was clearer to me when I gained your power from SAO, Kazuto. There was a message in that power.”

Kazuto asks, “Message?”

Leafa says, with a nod, “It is basically saying: Fight to win. This isn’t just a clear cut fight with rules. This is a war that you have to give your all too since it isn’t just your life on the line. If I lose, everyone else loses. And it isn’t just Mimete that I need to worry.”

Sailor Sun responds, “She is just a small fry in the bigger picture. I don’t have a doubt in my mind that Kaguya will want to kill every one of us and there is Orochimaru, the snake who would love to harness our power for his own selfish ends.”

Sailor Mars says, drolly, “That’s a pleasant thought, Sailor Sun.”

Leafa says, “There are a lot on the line and a lot on my shoulders as a Sailor Scout and more. I knew that I could always count on me, but I couldn’t depend on you. I may have gained your strength, but I couldn’t depend on it, Kazuto. I learned that the instant that I gained my special skill in my ‘swordsman form’: Duel Elementia. I had the create my own power and forge my own strength.”

Kazuto says, “And that’s why you are here. You plan to be like me… No, you plan to go down your own path as ‘solo player’ and learn what it means to fight with your life on the line as close as to what I experienced as possible.”
Leafa says, with a nod, “Yeah. But there is something else.”

Kari asks, “Something else?”
Leafa responds, “It is something is calling to me in this world. I had a scary dream.”

Sailor Uranus asks, “A dream?”

Leafa says, “It was like I was seeing the whole battle with Kaguya over two years ago, but then the trees roots came out of the television to attack and entrap me. However, there was a weird light and I transformed into Sailor Celestial in which the light turned into a bow and I shot it into the roots and the tree in which I hit Kaguya in her third eye. A voice told me: In order to give the evil ‘Rabbit Goddess’ her final requiem, weld the bow that can hit any target and go through any armor.”

Sailor Pluto says, stunned, “The Requiem Bow.”

There are plenty of surprised looks and Sailor Jupiter asks, “Wait? Isn’t that the final of the three Celestial Weapons?”

Sailor Uranus says, “That’s right. The weapons are the Star Saber, the Skyboom Shield, and the Requiem Bow.”

Davis says, “Sailor Moon and Naruto are the owners of the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield.”

Sailor Mars says, “We left them with them to help guard them and they still possess those two weapons.”

Rika asks, “You mean that awesome glowing sword that Naruto-san has?”

Sailor Venus says, with a smile, “That’s right, Liz. That’s the Star Saber. The sword with the ability to cut a star in half.”

There are gasps and Kazuto asks, “Are you kidding me?”

Sailor Mars responds, “After what you went through, you are asking that?”

Kazuto responds, with a nod, “Good point.”

Davis asks, “And what does this Requiem Bow do?”

Sailor Pluto says, “It has the power to penetrate any armor and hit any target from any distance as long as the welder has the image of their target on their mind.”

Tai says, amazed, “Whoa!”

Sora tells Tai, “I don’t think that it is a legendary weapon for nothing, Tai.”

Mimi asks, curiously, “So, you are saying that dream told you that weapon is here?”

Leafa says, “As weird as it sounds, I think so.”

Sailor Venus says, with a smile, “Not so weird of us since it was his dreams that led our prince to our princess.”

Leafa says, nervously, “Speaking of her, she is on the front lines of this castle right now.”

There are multiple gasps and Sailor Mars asks, stunned, “What?”

Leafa says, nervously, “Yep! Sailor Moon, Sailor Star, and Naruto have been spotted around here and they have become something as celebrities in a real short time even for this place.”

Sailor Saturn asks, “Really?”

Leafa says, with a nod, “Yep. They are known as the Maelstrom Three and they are really something. I’ve managed to see the boss monsters on this place and they are way stronger than one than in SAO and ALO based on what I know. At minimum, they have seven to eight health bars.”

There are gasps and Yolei asks, stunned, “Seven to eight health bars at least?!”

Kazuto says, “I feared that Kayaba wouldn’t make it easy. This isn’t SAO. In here, you can use any number of abilities including magic or chakra for example as well as sword skills like those in SAO and other games.”

Leafa says, with a nod, “And need legions of ‘players’ not just raid parties like you did, Kazuto. From what I heard, during boss battles in Neo Aincard, it takes a small army of five hundred to at least three thousand to fight them.”

There are gasps and Rika says, stunned, “You have got to be kidding me!”

Leafa says, “Well, here is the biggest surprise. Before the three of them came along, they were at floor thirty and now…”
Just then a male fox-human hybrid runs into the room and he yells out, “Everyone! They just defeated the floor fifty boss!”

Everyone looks at him and one person, a female fairy in the style of Salamander fairies of ALO, shouts out, “Was it them?”

The fox-human hybrid responds, with a nod, “Yep! The Maelstrom Three have done it again, but this time, it was the best of them! I’ve got the footage right here!” Soon after, the fox hybrid humanoid takes out what looks like a video sphere from the Final Fantasy X/X-2 universe and it creates a holographic image of a massive titan monster that looks like a humanoid sphinx in which Sailor Moon, Naruto, Sailor Star, ShineGreymon, and Dianamon are facing off with five thousand other humans and humanoids behind them in which the humanoid sphinx monster had twelve health bars, but Naruto attacked it on his own and immediately, the monster was the one on the defensive as Naruto ruthlessly beat it down, slashes it with the Star Saber, and finished it off with one powerful Sage Style: Super Tailed Beast Rasenshuriken with him and eight Shadow Clones in one massive blow.

There are plenty of amazed looks and Sailor Neptune says, with a smile, “That would be Naruto for you.”

Sailor Venus says, with a grin, “He has a tendency to ‘overdo’ things.”

Rika says, with a whistle, “Wow. We could have really used him in SAO.”

Leafa says, “Well, like I said, he isn’t the only one making a name for himself.”

Sailor Mars says, with a groan, “Don’t tell me that Meatball Head is going crazy in here.”

Sailor Jupiter tells Sailor Mars, “Okay, she won’t tell you.”

Sailor Mars glares at Sailor Jupiter and Leafa says, “Anyway, I’ve heard rumors that made lead us to the Requiem Bow.”

There are surprised looks and Sailor Sun asks, “Really?”

Leafa says, with a nod, “Yep. It is on the floor that they just entered: Floor Fifty-One.”

Cody says, “If this is like the original Aincard, they should have activated the teleportation gate by now.”

Leafa asks, “Shouldn’t you and the others be in school?”

Kazuto says, “Schools are still closed due to the all of the chaos in Odiaba.”

Asuna says, solemnly, “A good portion of our teachers came from Odiaba and most of them have family in Odiaba.”

Leafa says, “That’s horrible.”

Rika asks Leafa, with a smile, “And what about you?”

Kazuto says, “Sugu’s school got attacked.”

There are surprised looks and Leafa says, annoyed, “Yeah! That bitch really did it this time. It was a miracle that no one got killed. But my school is wrecked.”

Davis asks, “How bad?”

Kazuto responds, “Two hundred million yen in property damage.”

There are gasps and Yolei says, stunned, “Geez!”

Leafa says, with a nod, “It is going to take months for my school to be rebuilt, about a dozen teachers and students got hurt, and the monster that bitch attacked with caused who knows many cases of emotional and mental trauma.”

Sailor Jupiter asks, “It was THAT butt ugly, huh?”

Leafa says, very annoyed tone in her voice, “No freaking kidding, Lita. I can’t believe her. She had a beef with me, fine! But she had no right to put everyone else in danger!”

Sailor Uranus says, “That’s how these villains work, kid.”

Sailor Sun tells Leafa, “They don’t play by the rules, but it doesn’t mean that we go down to their level.”

Leafa asks, nervously, “Um, is blowing up your enemy’s leg going down to ‘their level’?” Everyone looks at her in surprise and Leafa says, nervously, “I got pissed.”

Kazuto gives a nervous expression and sigh and Sailor Uranus says, with a smirk, “Nice, kid. Personally, I would have chopped her to pieces.”

There are plenty of looks of surprise at Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune says, with a grin, “That would be Uranus for you, everyone.”

Sailor Mars says, drolly, “That’s for sure, Neptune.”

Matt says, nervously, “Remind me to never get you mad either.” Sailor Milky Way and Sora giggle at Matt’s nervous expression upon hearing Sailor Uranus’ words.

Sailor Sun says, “If you boys and girls are done, let’s get going and see if this is the real deal.” Our group then set off out of the restaurant and later on, we are on the fifty-first floor of Neo Aincard where our group arrives via teleportation gate in which they decide to split up to find out any information in which Sailor Mercury is going down the alleyway. She then senses something and heads down the alleyway and out of sight where she meets up with Sailor Moon.

Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “Hey, Mercury.”

Sailor Mercury says, “Good to see you, again, Sailor Moon.”

Sailor Moon asks, “What are you doing here?”

Sailor Mercury responds, “We may have found the Requiem Bow.” Sailor Mercury then explains to Sailor Moon about what they just talked about with Leafa.

Sailor Moon says, “It’s fine, Mercury. They need every edge that they can get against Kaguya.”

Sailor Mercury says, “You are absolutely sure that she is still alive.”

Sailor Moon says, with a dark serious glare, “I know so, Mercury-chan.”

Sailor Mercury tells Sailor Moon, “Also, Sailor Sun has learned how to become a Valkyrie Sailor Scout at will.”

Sailor Moon asks, “Really?”

Sailor Mercury responds, with a nod, “Yes, she had. She says that to access the power of a Valkyrie Sailor Scout, you have to go beyond want and desire. It has to be an incredible need and that’s what the power responds to.”

Sailor Moon asks, “A need?”

Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, “That’s what Sailor Sun said. An absolute need that’s nothing to do with want or desire and a heart clear enough on what it needs to do.”

Sailor Moon says, “An absolute need and a clear heart, huh? I guess that I can’t achieve Valkyrie Sailor Soldier form. My heart is so jumbled inside since a good part of who I am is good. I know my name in this life is Serena Tsukino, but I…”

Sailor Mercury tells Sailor Moon, “Sailor Moon, you may not have your memories as Serena, but it doesn’t that you aren’t Serena Tsukino.” Sailor Moon looks at Sailor Mercury and Sailor Mercury tells Sailor Moon, “You may not to remember your times as Serena Tsukino, but deep down, you are still Serena. Princess Serenity… Sailor Moon… Serena Tsukino… They are all you and you may not remember anything as Serena, you are still her and you will always be her.”

Sailor Moon gives a look of surprise and Sailor Moon says, with a warm smile, “Thank you, Mercury-chan.”

Sailor Mercury asks, “How is Naruto doing?”

Sailor Moon says, with a smile, “He is doing okay.” Sailor Moon then gives a blush from remembering all of the highly suggestive ‘make out sessions’ and somehow, Naruto, Sailor Star, and Sailor Moon kept from going ‘complete erotic and intimate’, but Sailor Mercury also blushes that since their ‘connection’ via the Black Crystal earrings, she had ‘naughty daydreams’ of her and Naruto. Sailor Moon tells Sailor Mercury, “Mercury-chan, I want you to join me in our home.”

Sailor Mercury asks, surprised, “Huh?”

Sailor Moon tells Sailor Mercury, with a warm smile, “Would you?”

Sailor Mercury isn’t sure, but she can’t resist the voice telling her to do as Sailor Moon says in which she says, with a nod, “Okay, Sailor Moon.”

Sailor Moon responds, with a smile, “Thank you, Mercury-chan.” Sailor Moon hugs Sailor Mercury and she can’t help to enjoy the hug. On the meanwhile, Sailor Sun, Sailor Milky Way, Renamon, Lopmon, Leafa, Kazuto, Rika, and Asuna are going through a tundra and desert style area in which Leafa is using her wings and sword skills to cut down her opponents.

Sailor Milky Way says, “You are pretty good, Leafa.”

Leafa responds, “Thank you, Jun.”

Sailor Sun says, “Interesting style that you are developing.”
Leafa says, with a weak smile, “Thank you, Sakura-sensei, but it is nowhere done yet. I’m trying to create my own style outside of big brother’s and kendo.”

Kazuto asks, “Outside of kendo, Sugu?”

Leafa says, with a smile, “I can’t rely on the power that I got from you and while I have my own version via my Duel Elementia, I want to use my own style, but kendo feels right to me, I want something different… Something that’s just me.”

Kazuto tells Leafa, “You should stick to kendo since you love, don’t you?”

Leafa says, with a smile, “Yeah, but I need more than kendo if I’m going to face enemies that are even worse than Mimete and youma. I need a sword style that’s my own. That I’m a swordswoman of my own right, big brother. Ever since I became Sailor Celestial… No, even before then, it feels natural to pick up a sword. When I started ALO and when I became Sailor Celestial, using those swords, it felt so… natural to me. And when I started fighting as Sailor Celestial, it feels…”

Kazuto asks, curiously, “Like ‘another part of you’ takes control and directs your action?”

Leafa says, with a nod, “That’s right, big brother!”

Rika asks, confused, “Another part of you?”

Leafa says, “I don’t know how to explain it. It is like that there is ‘another me’ and I keep seeing visions. I see myself as Sailor Celestial, but wearing a fuku similar to outfit that Sailor Moon wore in the past, before her Legendium powers, however, this ‘me’ is a swordswoman before compare. Her moves are graceful, but she was so fast and powerful that she defeated her opponents and the majority couldn’t lay a hand on her. There was one opponent that ‘other me’ couldn’t defeat so easily.”

Sailor Sun says, “I take it that her name is Sailor Sun.”

Leafa says, “Actually, it would be Princess Sakuya since neither of them used their Sailor Scout powers since… you know.” There are surprised looks and Leafa says, “They fought in which Sakuya used twin swords while my ‘other self’ used a lance that looked like two swords connected together. Without using their Sailor Scout powers, they were deadly match for each other.”

Rika asks, curiously, “If you also lived in the Silver Millennium, why did you and her fight each other?”

Sailor Sun says, “I may have a few ideas, Rika.”

Renamon says, “However, we should discuss this at a later time.”

Sailor Milky Way says, “Renamon has a good point. Right now, we need to focus on finding the Requiem Bow.”

Sailor Sun says, with a nod, “Good point, sis.” Just then everyone stops when they see someone that looks like a miko right in front of them.

Asuna asks, “Who is that?”

Kazuto says, “I think that it is NPC.”

An exclamation icon appears above the miko and she says, “You wish to gain the bow that creates arrows of light that can go through any armor or hit any target. Then you must take the challenge before you.”

Leafa asks, “What challenge?”

The miko responds, “One of the guardians of the great bow stands before you and those who wish to test the guardian must step forward.” Leafa then draws her sword and plenty of the others get ‘bad feeling’.

Rika asks, confused, “Where is that guardian?”

Leafa says, “Stay back a minute.”

As Leafa steps forward, Kazuto says, “Sugu, hold on a second.”

Leafa says, “Stay there and be ready big brother.” Leafa steps forward and prepares for anything as she slowly moves forward while the rest look on, but all of them are getting a bad feeling.”

Rika says, concerned, “Hey, Leafa.” Rika then goes over to pull Leafa back and Sailor Sun goes over to stop her in which Kazuto sees the miko smirk.

Kazuto shouts out, “Look out!” Everyone then sees the miko transform into a ‘dark sorceress’ similar to Ultimatica from Final Fantasy VIII with a ‘title’ Dark Enchantress with three health bars and a pitfall forms at the feet of Sailor Sun, Leafa, and Rika and they yell as they fall in.

Asuna shouts out, shocked, “Liz! Leafa! Sailor Sun!” Leafa and Sailor Sun try to fly, but they can’t.

Leafa says, “My wings won’t work!”

Sailor Sun says, “Some kind of anti-flying field! Shit!”

Renamon says, “No!”

Sailor Milky Way says, horrified, “Sis!”

The Dark Enchantress says, “Stupid fools! They fall to their doom!”

Just then a familiar male voice shouts out, “Not if I have anything to say about it, believe it!” The enemy ‘creature’ turns only to get sliced apart by Naruto using his silver version of Elucidator and his Star Saber and he quickly transforms into his Six Path Sage Mode creating chakra arms that grab Sailor Sun, Rika, and Leafa in which he yanks them out of the pit, but they slam into him and knocking him down to the ground with them collapsing all over him. On the meanwhile, the pit vanishes and the others rush over. Naruto asks them, “Are you all okay?”

Sailor Sun says, “Yeah.”

Naruto then asks, “Can you then get off me please?” Sailor Sun, Leafa, and Rika then look to see that they are on top of Naruto and he says, “And you are on top of me.”

Leafa, Rika, and Sailor Sun blushes as they get off of Naruto and when he gets to his feet, Sailor Sun tells him, “Well, next time, don’t bring us up so hard that you turn yourself into an airbag, baka.”

Naruto says, with a smirk, “Same old Sakura.”

Renamon tells Sailor Sun, “I’m glad that you are okay, Sakura.”

Sailor Sun tells Renamon, “I don’t die that easily, Renamon.” Sailor Sun says, with a groan, “I just can’t believe that I fell for a stupid trap and I mean literally.”

Lopmon says, “Even the best have their off days.”

Sailor Sun retorts, “Well, I can’t afford to have an ‘off day’, Lopmon.”

Leafa tells Naruto, “Thanks.”

Naruto says, with a grin, “No problem.” Just then a scroll appears in a puff of smoke above Naruto, lands in Naruto’s hands, and he says, opening it up, “Well done on defeating the trickster of the woods, but now, your next test begins. Offer the apple that gives you a raise and put it on the altar of the impassible maze.”

Sailor Sun takes the scroll from Naruto and she reads it in which Rika asks, “What does that mean?”

Renamon says, “I believe that our answer is up ahead.”

Naruto says, “I guess that we are working together.”
Leafa asks, “Why help us? I mean, Sakura-sensei was a former comrade of yours, but you are with Sailor Moon and Sailor Star and we aren’t ‘good terms’.”

Naruto responds, with a plain tone, “It doesn’t matter to me. If someone is in danger, I can’t just stay back and doing nothing. My memories might be scrambled eggs, but I know that I’ve seen enough death starting when I started as a ninja and that was when I was twelve to thirteen years of age.”

There are gasps and Sailor Sun says, solemnly, “Our world… Gaea… is a harsh place and there have been wars and battles for centuries. Before the time of the hidden ninja villages, there were the clan wars or ‘warring states’ period where ninjas stayed within their own clans and thirty years was the maximum average life-span for a ninja.”

Leafa asks, stunned, “Thirty years?”

Sailor Sun says, with a nod, “Yep. It only got better after the ‘one ninja village’ per nation got start, but it was only somewhat. Ninja started to live into old age, but it didn’t mean things settled down. With groups of clans becoming one unified ninja, in some ways, wars got more intense with what was known as the ‘Great Ninja Wars’, wars between the five great ninja villages, Leaf, Stone, Mist, Sand, and Cloud, in various alliances fighting for various reasons in which with ninja clans and civilians learning and becoming ninjas and thus increasing the number of ninjas with more and more ninja veterans out there with extended life-spans and numbers, these wars were more intense and brutal than the ‘clan wars’ of old. After three of these wars, we managed to achieve an uneasy peace of the times, but at the time, at the drop of the pin, death and destruction in warfare can start again which is why we started to so young, but slowly with low rank mission with the least chance of death in order to get used to the ‘ninja life-style’.” Sailor Sun says, with a snarl, “However, after Naruto’s dad died on the day of his birth, people like my mom lowered the standards of the ninja academy to get more sub-standard Genin with only those from ninja clans ‘up to par’ at all with the students from civilian families having ‘romantic notions’ about the life of a ninja. I was one of those bakas back then and it was a miracle as well as the fact that I had two guys that are descendants from the legendary Six Path Sage’s bloodline himself that I had survived during my early years as a ninja where I learned the plain and hard truth.”

Leafa asks, in disbelief, “How can you lead such a life?”

Sailor Sun gives a strong glare that makes Kazuto, Asuna, Leafa, Rika, and even Sailor Milky Way nervous and she responds, with a stern tone, “Because it was the only way that you could protect your home, your people, and your comrades! Have you heard of Sparta? That’s was our world in a nutshell! Cold and ruthless! Even in times of peace, a war could happen at a pin drop! Fiends in human skin like Orochimaru that threaten to destroy your home and all that you love! You don’t do your job, it isn’t just your life on the line! It is the lives of your comrades, your friends, your loved ones, and the home that you love with every single person in it! The real world isn’t full of knights on steeds riding to someone’s rescue! It is a war for survival for not only yourself, but many others that you do and don’t know!” Sailor Sun tells Leafa, sternly, “And that’s the world of a true Sailor Soldier and Warrior, Celestial! You know that well from the battles that you experienced!” Sailor Sun says, with a stern and strong tone, “And that’s what I experienced too. The instant that you become a ninja, you are known as a grown up adult and you have to kill or let yourself, your comrades, and possibly all that you love die with you. I refuse to let the second option happen. I will fight with all that I have to protect everyone even if it means my death… and even it means that I’m bathed in the blood of my enemies.”

There are surprised looks and Leafa says, “Sakura-sensei…”

Kazuto thinks in his mind, seeing the look in Sailor Sun’s eyes, “Her eyes…”

Sailor Sun passes by Naruto and she tells him, “Please don’t give me that Naruto.” Naruto doesn’t say a word as Sailor Sun walks by with Renamon quickly following.

Sailor Milky Way tells them, “I’m sorry about sis, but you have to understand her and her history.”

Kazuto says, “We already understand more than even we may realize.”

Asuna says, solemnly, “Kirito-kun is right.” Kazuto looks at Asuna and she looks at him not to say anything else in which he doesn’t as he can’t argue the point.

Leafa asks, “The battle with Laughing Coffin in SAO?”

Kazuto nods his head and Naruto tells them, “And that’s why I can’t let people do and why I fight. To make sure that future generations never need to fight, to die, and to kill to protect those that they love as well as never to suffer the pain of loss that I’ve seen so many others suffer even if I don’t remember them right now. And I know that’s how I am, believe it.” Naruto then starts to walk off after Sailor Sun and Renamon and the others look at each other in which they follow where they find themselves in front of three altar with three golden apples in front of them.

Sailor Milky Way says, “Golden apples, huh? I think that I’ve heard of this before.”

Renamon says, “These must be the apples in the riddle.”

Kazuto says, “But we need one that gives us a raise.” Just then they look to see a Petit Moth Duel Monster come out of the bushes.

Rika says, “Yuck!”

Sailor Milky Way asks, “Is that a Petit Moth? A Duel Monster?”

Sailor Sun says, “It might be a Duel Monster, but it is a bug that’s about to be squashed.” But then the whole area starts to shake and quake and soon enough, all of them are trapped inside of a maze.

Naruto says, “Guess this is the maze that they talked about.”

Sailor Sun retorts, sarcastically, “You think, Naruto?”

Rika asks, “Now what?”

Kazuto says, “We find our way out of the maze. Since this is like SAO, we won’t be able to call for help and like in ALO, you can’t fly in a dungeon.”

Leafa says, with a smile, “Well, there is always an exit in a maze, big brother. We just need to find it.”

Kazuto says, “This isn’t an ordinary maze, Sugu.” Kazuto then senses something along with Sailor Sun and Naruto.

Naruto says, “Hold that thought, folks.” Sailor Sun slowly walks over to a corner and after she draws one of her swords, she zips by the corner in which sounds of combat and clashing are heard in which two torn up minotaur-like monsters are flung in which they turn into data particles soon after.

Sailor Sun says, “We had better be careful.”

Rika says, “No kidding.” The group continues through the maze and fighting monsters in the maze, but they haven’t found a way out and in fact, they find themselves back where they were in which Rika yells out, “We’ve been going in circles!”

Kazuto says, “There must be another solution.”

Naruto taps the wall and he asks, “What about going through?”

Rika asks, curiously, “Really?”

Sailor Sun says, plainly, “Not like we have any better ideas.” Sailor Sun then uses her super-strength to bust through the wall and continue on much to the amazement of the others.

Rika says, drolly, “You have got to be kidding me.”

Leafa asks, “Aren’t we cheating?”

Naruto says, “Nothing says that we couldn’t bust through the maze.”

Kazuto says, “Naruto-san has a good point. It could be the only one through this maze.” Soon after, the group arrives at the altars with the apples, but they only to see two apples with one of the altars is now empty.

Asuna says, “One of the apples is missing.”

Renamon says, seeing something, “And there is something else in its place.” When the others look, they see a large cocoon and Renamon says, “And something is coming out of it!” Just then the cocoon opens up to reveal a massive Great Moth Duel Monster that flaps its wings.

Kazuto says, stunned, “A Great Moth!” Just then the Great Moth unleashes a whirlwind attack in which Kazuto yells out, “Watch out!” Kazuto tackles Asuna and Rika to the ground while Naruto does the same for Leafa with the rest also ducking as the attack creating a huge hole in the wall above them.

Sailor Sun says, “Naruto!”

Sailor Sun gathers energy into her hands and Naruto responds, with a nod, “Right!” Both Sailor Sun and Naruto unleash energy blasts that slam into Great Moth causing a massive explosion in which Naruto says, with a grin, “Got him!” But then the smoke and dust dispel and Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth appears in place of Great Moth.

Sailor Sun says, “Shit! It evolved again! It’s a Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth! It’s ultimate form!” Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth then creates a pollen and wind storm that causes multiple explosions all around them.

Renamon yells out, “I need to digivolve and you need to transform!”

Sailor Sun takes out a red and pink Data Link Digivice and she yells out, “Right!” But she then notices a group of rocks falling down on Kazuto, Rika, and Asuna and she pushes them out of the way in which she yelps as she gets hit in the back by a large piece of wall causing her to get stunned.

Renamon says, shocked, “Sakura!”

Naruto says, stunned, “Sakura!”

Sailor Milky Way shouts out, shocked, “Sis, no!” Taking this moment to attack, the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth unleashes an assault on them.

Agumon (N) tells Naruto from inside of Naruto’s Data Link Digivice, “Boss, you’ve got to let me out!”

Naruto says, dodging the attacks, “I can’t, Agumon! The instant I let you out, you are going to get hit!” Naruto rolls under another attack and draws his silver sword.

Sailor Milky Way thinks in her mind, “How did that little moth grow so fast?” Sailor Milky Way then spies the apples and she thinks, “No way! You have got to be kidding me!” Sailor Milky Way then looks at Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth and she then makes a move in which she rushes for one of the apples.

Lopmon asks, surprised, “Jun?!” When the others looks, they see her rush to another apple and grab before the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth spots her in which Sailor Milky Way looks at the apple.

Sailor Milky Way thinks in her mind, “This is insane, but it is the only idea I’ve got! I need for this work!”

Sailor Milky Way then eats the apple and Rika shouts out, “This isn’t time for a snack!” When Sailor Milky Way is done, it seems like nothing is happening, but she then starts to glow as her broach also glows along with her sigil glow with her.

(Gotenks’ first Super Saiyan 3 transformation music starts)

The glow surprises everyone and even Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth while Sailor Milky Way growls as immense new powers starts welling up inside of her as her hair starts to glow and grow longer and longer while her outfit also glows as her wings turn into feathers and brand new wings burst out of her back before she is bathed in pure light forcing everyone to cover their eyes.

Lopmon shouts out, “Jun!” When the light dies down, everyone, even Sailor Sun, who managed to regain her senses, are able to look, they find that Sailor Milky Way has undergone a radical transformation!

Sailor Milky Way’s magenta hair has grown longer, reaching down past her kneecaps behind her back, her crown is gone from her scalp and replaced by a pearly white helmet that’s designed like a Roman galea helmet form the days of the Roman Empire, adorned with diamond-like jewels around the top of the helmet with a visage of a tiger on top of the helmet, her eyelids have deep pink eyeshadow on them, her lips are a deep, full, and gorgeous ruby red color now, her golden metal choker from her previous Sailor Scout remains around her neck, but now, she has crystal-blue colored samurai style armor that tight hugs and the shows the curves and lines of her feminine chest and waist with a brand new larger heart-shaped broach that’s crystal blue in color, but with crossed swords like an ‘X’ in the center with a silver Milky Way jewel in the center of the crossed swords, ten crystal blue wings coming out of the broach, and a curled up Rainbow Dragon and tiger attached to the bottom of the broach, she has pearly white version of Gallantmon’s armored shoulder pads on her shoulder with pink armored gloves and armor that cover the whole of her arms in which the armor looks like it comes from European knight armor attached to the chest and waist armor, she has thick armored ruby red bracelets over her now armored wrists with a shield that looks like Medieval heater shield with a golden lioness head in the center of the shield attached to the left bracelet, attached to the chest and waist armor, there is an armored skirt that goes down one-half of her thighs in which the armored skirt is white, pink, and silver in color with a similar broach to one on her chest attached to the top center portion of the skirt, and she has thick armored high-heeled boots that goes just above her kneecaps with five inch knife-like heels. She has ten crystal blue huge and fluffy feathered wings coming out of her back and in her hands, there is a scepter like the Dark Magician of Chaos’ scepter expect that it is golden with a prism-like diamond orb on top.

There are gasps of shock and Naruto says, stunned, “No way!”

Renamon says, amazed, “She… She has become a Valkyrie Sailor Soldier!”

The brand new Valkyrie Sailor Milky Way says, with a grin, “Okay, now, we’re talking!” Sailor Milky Way then turns to face the Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth and she says, “Time to squash this bug!” The massive moth monster unleashes a powerful whirlwind, but Sailor Milky Way counters it with a powerful shockwave of her own and she then focuses a lot of chakra and mystical energy into her scepter in which she unleashes on her opponent creating a massive hole in Perfectly Ultimate Great Moth before it explodes into pieces.

(Gotenks’ first Super Saiyan 3 transformation music ends)

Lopmon says, excitedly, “She did it!”

Leafa says, “Incredible!”

Sailor Milky Way goes over to get the final apple and she tells Kazuto, “And you don’t get to eat this one.”

Renamon says, “We need it to solve the puzzle.”

Naruto asks, “Huh?”

Sailor Milky Way says, “That’s right. All these apples have the power to increase a being’s power.”

Renamon says, “The first one was to increase that moth’s power, the second one was to increase someone else’s power, and the third is to complete task.”

Sailor Milky Way gives a nod, Kazuto is eyeing the apple, and Asuna tells Kazuto, in a stern tone, “Kirito-kun…” Kazuto gives a nervous smile and Rika grins teasingly at him afterwards all of them get to another alter where Sailor Milky Way puts the apple where the scene changes in front of a temple in which another scroll appears in front of Sailor Milky Way causing her to catch, open it, and read it.

Sailor Sun asks, “What does it say?”

Sailor Milky Way says, “Slay them all if you dare. Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. When two great powers assemble in front of your eyes, the sacred bow will finally rise.”

Rika asks, “What’s that supposed to mean?” Just then five dragon statues start to glow and the whole area starts to shake.

Naruto says, nervously, “I think that we are about to find out.”

Sailor Sun retorts, “You think?!” Soon after, Luster Dragon 2, Serpent Night Dragon, Tyrant Dragon, Gungnir, Dragon of the Ice Barrier, and Meteor Dragon appear above them.

Renamon says, “These are Duel Monster Dragons and they are different attributes. Tyrant Dragon is a fire dragon, Gungnir a water dragon…”

Sailor Sun says, with a nod and interrupting, “And the rest are a wind dragon, dark dragon, and earth dragon. I think that we get the idea.” Just then a rain of meteors rain down on them and they leap away for their lives.

Leafa says, “No kidding, Sun-sensei!”

“Celestial Shining Mirror Change, Make-up!”

In a bright light, Leafa is bathed as her form completely changes and Leafa is replaced by Sailor Celestial and she draws one of her swords while Naruto takes out the Star Saber.

Naruto says, with a foxy grin, “Don’t worry! I’ve got the ultimate dragon slayer!” Naruto then unleashes a powerful wave from the Star Saber that cuts all of the dragons in half in a major explosion and Naruto gives a grin, but then all of them glow and transform and fuse into a massive Five Headed Dragon causing Naruto to say in disbelief, “No way!”

The Five Headed Dragon then unleashes an assault with all of its heads and Kazuto shouts out, “Watch out!” However, Sailor Moon then appears and she uses her Skyboom Shield to negate the attack.

Sailor Celestial says, in surprise, “Sailor Moon!”

Naruto says, “Great save, Moon-chan!”

Sailor Moon says, with a grin, “No problem, Naruto-kun!”

Sailor Sun thinks in her mind, curiously, “Naruto-KUN?!”

Just then the Star Saber and Skyboom Shield start to glow and Sailor Moon says, “The Star Saber and Skyboom Shield!” The two weapons then shoot beams at a statue holding a bow and the statue of the bow shatters to reveal a bow that has a crystalline-like body with a silver thread as the bow string in which Sailor Celestial sees it and she charges for bow in which the Five Head Dragon notices, but Sailor Moon throws the shield like Captain America throws his shield, it bashes on one of the dragon’s heads, and the dragon roars at Sailor Moon in which she sticks her tongue out at the dragon. Sailor Celestial grabs the bow, pulls the bow string back, creating an energy arrow, and shoots at the dragon in which it goes through the waist causing the dragon to roar before it shatters into data particles. Soon after, a large sign saying ‘Congratulations’ appears and Sailor Moon says, drolly, “Seriously?! Not original.”

Later on, the group looks at the bow and Renamon asks, “This is the Requiem Bow, huh?”

Sailor Sun says, “The final weapon.”

Sailor Milky Way asks, “How did it end up in here?!”

Sailor Sun says, “Good question.”

Renamon asks, looking at Sailor Moon and Naruto, “And one more thing: What about you two?”

Sailor Moon says, with a shrug, “All yours.”

Sailor Celestial asks, “You are going to leave us a weapon that rivals your Star Saber and Skyboom Shield?”

Sailor Moon tells Sailor Celestial, “You are going to need every edge that you can get against Kaguya.” Sailor Moon holds onto Naruto and they teleport away leaving the rest to wonder what was on their minds.

Sailor Celestial asks, “And about Jun? How could she have transformed into a Valkyrie Sailor Scout from eating an apple?”

Sailor Sun says, “She can’t. While that apple can advanced her powers to the next level, it shouldn’t have been able to evolve her into a Valkyrie Sailor Scout.”

Renamon says, “Unless the ‘emotional requirements’. Remember, the Valkyrie Sailor Scout power can be triggered by a great need and added the ‘power awakening and evolving’ power of the apple, it might be the ‘push’ that she needed.”

Sailor Sun says, with a nod, “That could be it.”

Sailor Milky Way responds, “No duh! I had a need! I had to protect everyone especially my sister! Adopted sister or not, you are still family, Sakura! You are a person precious to me and our squirt of a brother! It doesn’t matter what our relationship is! You are a person that I care about and I would need to protect you!”

This triggers something in Leafa and Sailor Sun says, with a grin, “Geez, sis! You have to make it into some kind of big production? But thanks for caring.”

Renamon says, “Anyway, this is good news for us. We have the final Celestial Weapon and another Valkyrie level Sailor Soldier.”

Sailor Milky Way says, with an exhausted sigh, “Anyway, can you tell me how to transform back? I’m getting worn out.”

Sailor Sun says, “That’s what you get for staying Valkyrie for a long period of time without mastering the power. Just focus on relaxing Jun.” Sailor Milky Way focuses and she glows as she goes from Valkyrie back to her Legendium Sailor Scout form in which she nearly stumbles and falls.

Lopmon asks, “Are you okay, Jun?”

Sailor Milky Way responds, “Yeah. Just really pooped, Lopmon. That level of power is really something.”

Sailor Sun says, “Told you, Jun. It is a pain in the ass to maintain despite all of the power and abilities that form gives you.”

Sailor Milky Way nods her head and Rika says, looking at the Requiem Bow with a whistle, “This is really something else. It looks like it is made of a diamond and hard as one too.”

Kazuto says, “Something tells me that it has to be since we are going to need it.”

Sailor Sun thinks in her mind, “Got that right, pal.” As Sailor Sun looks at the Requiem Bow and Sailor Milky Way, she can’t help to wonder what the immediate future is going to hold.

And that’s the chapter, everyone! I think that takes care of one of the ‘lost mysteries’ of New Moon Ninja and I don’t think that there are anymore, but if there are, let me know? Well, we have another ‘top level’ Sailor Scout and you must been surprised at who I choose to ‘ascend’ to the next level in this story, huh? Like I said, there are going to be plenty of surprises in this story and I’m not kidding around, everyone! Now, please read and review and later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
