Prelude: A castle of stone and metal floating in the sky that consist of one hundred floors. Within this massive structure, there are countless cities, villages, towns, forests, plains, lakes, and whatever you can imagine. There is only one staircase that connects one floor with another, and these staircases are located within dangerous mazes filled with monsters. The players with navigate through these floors to the top with nothing than the weapons in their hands. And yes, I said players.
This is the world of Aincrad, a floating castle in a virtual sky, and yes, I said VIRTUAL sky. This world and this floating castle world are in a realm made of digital information…the world of Sword Art Online. A world that was supposed to be game, but because a nightmare prison when its creator, Akihiko Kayaba, trapped the ten thousand players within this virtual world and if they die here, they will die in real life. The ten thousand players struggle in this 'game death' to reach the top of the floating castle where the final boss and the key to their freedom waits.
You may know this story and the stories that come after it, but do you know all the stories? All the tales that happened within the floating castle? What about the tales that happened after the floating castle was conquered? There are stories connected to the 'tale' of this floating castle, its 'history', and its 'aftermath', but they weren't told…until now. These are those stories…
Sailor Moon Online: Gaiden
Story 42: Wacky Winter Workings
Note: This story takes place after Story 32, Winter Un-wonderlands, which takes place in-between World's Song and SAO Beyond.
December 2025, Tokyo, Japan, Odaiba District
Today, we find ourselves in the streets of the Odaiba District where, instead of a 'section' of Tokyo in the Christmas season, which has become part modern day Japan, though it started to become popular in Japan around the time of the Meiji period especially after the Russo-Japanese War, is in complete chaos as we find the Odaiba Digidestined, Digidestined and Digimon partner, fighting against various Digimon of snow and ice, including Frigimon, SnowGoblimon, a version of Goblimon that lives in cold and icy areas of the Digital World, SnowAgumon, a snowy white version of Agumon, IceDevimon, Icemon, who look like icy/snow white versions of Gotsumon, and Mammothmon, as these Digimon rampaging and cause havoc with our Digital World heroes, human and Digimon, fighting against them.
"Flower Cannon!"
Lillymon fires her green nature-energy sphere that slams into several SnowGoblimon and two Icemon causing them to yelp as they are sent flying into the air before they 'dispel' into thousands of data particles.
"Tusk Crusher!"
As if in reply, two of the Mammothmon fire their tusks as missiles right at Lillymon, but she easily avoids the attack.
Mimi shouts out, "Be careful, Lillymon!"
Lillymon responds, with a smile, "I'll be okay, Mimi!"
"Gate of Destiny!"
MagnaAngemon then creates his 'otherworld gate' that opens up and like a powerful vacuum, sucks up a huge amount of the opposing Digimon, and 'seals' them away.
TK says, with a smile, "Nice work, MagnaAngemon!"
Yolei says, annoyed, "This is really annoying! For once, I just wanted to enjoy a nice peaceful Christmas!"
Sailor Sun, after using her powers to vaporize a pair of IceDevimon, tells Yolei, "We know, Yolei."
Davis, using the power of his Light Hawk Wings, says, annoyed, "No joke! This is a real piss off! First, there was that Snow Kaguya freak that decided to come back for round two after Serena and the Scouts managed to kick off her 'cold shoulder'! Now, we have frosty Digimon on our butts!"
Paildramon says, "No kidding, Davis! Plus, it isn't only us under attack!"
Tai asks Izzy, "How are the others doing?"
Izzy responds, plainly, "Serena, Tuxedo Mask, and the other Scouts from Odaiba, including Nebula, are still dealing with the Digimon there! Celestial, Star, Orion, and Naruto's group are busy with other 'incursions' in Tokyo…!"
Just then a familiar male voice shouts out, "Hey, did someone call my name?!"
"Fire Style: Nova Rasenshuriken!"
Just then a massive shuriken made of fire chakra slams into the group of Digimon in a massive explosion of flames that vaporizes a whole lot of them in which Naruto and Sailor Galaxy come down from above and land nearby.
Naruto says, with a smile, "Hey, guys!"
Sora asks, surprised, "Naruto?"
Sailor Galaxy says, with a smile, "We're glad that you are okay."
Tai asks, "Not that we aren't glad to see you, but what are you doing here?"
Naruto says, with his trademark smile, "We managed to get done in our area."
Ken asks Naruto, "How is it?"
Naruto says, with a sigh, "Well, no one is dead, but it isn't just busted up cars and damaged walls in the area that we 'fixed up'."
Sailor Galaxy says, "There were a lot of injuries. It is why Sakura isn't with us. However, there aren't any life-threatening or permanent injuries."
Tai says, a bit annoyed, "That's at least some good news."
Naruto says, "I got communicates from Suguha-chan, Asuna, and Shion. They are handling the Digimon causing havoc where they are, and they will be done shortly."
Sailor Sun says, with a sigh, "That's good."
Yolei says, with a smile, "And thanks to you, we are just about done here."
Aquliamon then says, nervously, "You might want to check that Yolei." When everyone looks ahead, they see a bright light and out of the 'light', what looks like a giant skeleton version of Mammothmon with a golden armored face-plate over its face, appears from the flames and smoke of Naruto's attack on the enemy Digimon.
Mimi says, worriedly, "Oh my!"
Yolei asks, nervously, "What the heck is that?"
Ankylomon says, plainly, "That's trouble."
Digimon Analyzer (Ankylomon's voice)
"That's SkullMammothmon, a nightmarish Mega Digimon created when Mammothmon was eaten by virus, in which, while it was reduced to just bones, its willpower to fight on allowed it survive as long as its core remains undamaged! You had better be careful since its Spiral Bone Crusher and Grand Charge attacks will send you to the graveyard!"
Mimi says, nervously, "Ugh, gross!"
Cody says, "One of the Mammothmon must have just digivolved!"
Mimi asks, nervously, "Couldn't it have digivolved into something…a bit cuter?"
Sora tells Mimi, a bit nervously, "I don't think 'looks' are what Digimon go for when they digivolve Mimi."
Davis yells out, "Paildramon, time to rock and roll!"
Ken says, seriously, "Digivolve now!"
Digivolution
"Paildramon Mega Digivolve to…Imperialdramon!"
End Digivolution
Above the skyscrapers, the mighty dragon Digimon, Imperialdramon, looms over the SkullMammothmon and the two of them prepare for their confrontation.
"Spiral Bone Crusher!"
SkullMammothmon unleashes bones from its back like boomerangs, but Imperialdramon easily dodges the attack and prepares to counterattack.
"Position Laser!"
Imperialdramon fires his powerful laser beam from the cannon that slams into the metal faceplate of SkullMammothmon causing the massive skeleton Digimon to be flung backwards where it crashes in a loud 'crunch', but SkullMammothmon is mainly unharmed.
Sailor Galaxy says, "That didn't work!"
WarGreymon says, "It's okay! I can take care of the rest!"
"Great Tornado!"
WarGreymon turns into an orange twister that speeds towards SkullMammothmon, where it does haven't time to react as WarGreymon hits SkullMammothmon in its 'core' causing it to howl in pain as it 'shatters' into hundreds to thousands of data particles.
Naruto says, excitedly, "Nice one!"
Sailor Sun says, with a sigh, "This is really…sad."
Angewomon tells Sailor Sun, "We tried to reason with them, but they didn't give us much choice, Kari. We made sure that they weren't being controlled too."
Sailor Galaxy asks, curiously, "Why would they do this?"
Ken says, plainly, "Wish that we knew."
The members of the Digidestined that weren't part of SAO from the start of the infamous 'death game' look at each other causing TK to ask, "What's up?"
Sora says, plainly, "We may have a good idea."
Yolei asks, surprised, "You do?"
Joe asks Sora, curiously, "You think…?"
Cody responds, "It may be possible. Right now, let's help the others and then we can discuss what we believe."
Tai says, with a plain tone, "That's a good idea. Something tells me that we want to hear this." Davis and Sailor Sun look at each other where they nod their heads at some kind of unsaid agreement as everyone prepares to head off while Naruto and Sailor Galaxy look at each other where they are curious to wonder what they are about to learn.
December 2025, Tokyo, Japan, Taito Ward, Dicey Café
At the Dicey Café, we find our heroes and heroines, human and Digimon, assembled together as they discussed what happened earlier with the owner of Dicey Café, Andrew Gilbert Mills, a Japanese citizen of African-American descent, stands behind the bar of his café.
Andrew says, with a whistle, "You had it rough today."
Raye Hino AKA Sailor Mars retorts, sarcastically, "That's putting it lightly, Andrew."
Suguha Kirigaya AKA Sailor Celestial says, with a sigh, "After Kagura, you think that things would get quiet."
Amara Tenou AKA Sailor Uranus responds, "You should know better than that, Suguha-hime." Suguha gives Amara an annoyed glance while Michelle Kaiou, also known as Sailor Neptune, kindly smiles at Amara and pats her on the back.
Michelle tells Amara, "Now, Amara-chan, you know that she doesn't like being called that."
Suguha tells her two Digimon partners, Agumon (Suguha) and Lunamon, "By the way, great work you two."
Agumon (Suguha) says, with a grin, "No problem, boss!"
Lunamon says, with a plain tone, "We're glad that there wasn't too much damaged done."
Ami Mizuno AKA Sailor Mercury says, "And thanks to your powers, Suguha, the repairs didn't take too much time."
Keiko says, with a smile while looking at Sakura, "Plus, with Sakura's help, many people that would have suffered horrific injuries just got off with minor bumps and bruises."
Sakura says, with a grin, "With your modern-day medicine combined with my medical ninjutsu, it was easy." Sakura says, looking at Hotaru, "But I wasn't the only one working hard on helping people."
Michelle says, with a warm smile, "That's our Firefly for you." Hotaru can't help to blush in embarrassment from her fellow Senshi's and step-mom's words.
Amara says, plainly, "Right now, we need to discuss on what we need to do about it and make sure that it doesn't happen again."
TK asks Cody, "You said that you, Sora, and Joe may have an idea on what's going on here. Are you sure?"
When plenty of the others look at mentioned Digidestined, Izzy says, plainly, "I think that plenty of us that weren't originally trapped in SAO, at least at the start, have an idea."
Matt asks, curiously, "What do you mean Izzy?"
Gatomon asks, plainly, "You mean those 'Dark Digidestined' and 'Tamers', right?"
There are looks of recognition from the others causing Cody to say, with a nod, "Yes, Gatomon. As you know, when the numbers of Digidestined all over the world started to 'explode', there came also our 'dark counterparts'."
Davis says, plainly, "No joke. We had to deal with a few of them during Kari's, Vee's, Gatomon's, and my stay at the orphanage of Digidestined that we…found."
Mimi says, with a plain tone, "It was a real shock to find actual 'bad Digidestined'."
Izzy says, "Well, the 'Dark Digidestined' aren't exactly 'villains'. There are plenty of them that don't threaten the balance of the two worlds, and they are more of the 'anti-hero' than anything."
Gatomon says, with a nasty snarl, "And there are plenty of them that may not what to destroy or conquer either world, but they are just as dangerous. They are crooks that work with 'bad Digimon', abuse 'good Digimon', both, or worse!"
Hawkmon says, with a nod, "I have to say that they were a nasty surprise to say the least."
Cody says, nodding his head in agreement, "And they are still plenty of 'Dark Digidestined gangs' out there and causing all sorts of trouble all over the world."
Tai says, irritated tone in his voice, "No kidding, Cody. Ever since all of us that were trapped in SAO from the start finally got back and we recovered, it has been one 'case' of these jerks after another!"
Amara asks, plainly, "So, you think that this is another 'incident' of them?"
Joe responds, with a plain tone, "Doesn't seem to be their MO, Amara. Remember, the 'gangs' of Dark Digidestined and Tamers are like any other criminal organizations. Mindless destruction isn't their MO."
Gatomon tells Joe, "MOST of them, Joe."
Gomamon says, with a nod, "Yeah, Joe. These 'bad eggs' aren't like those nasty criminal organizations that you, humans, have."
Amara says, plainly, "Technically, Gomamon, criminal organizations like our yakuza and the American's mafia are officially one massive criminal organization, but they are organized into different 'families' in which these different 'families' have different agendas and they even fight each other."
Joe says, a bit nervously, "I believe that the point that Gomamon is making is that most of them don't do stuff that seem to be mindless destruction."
Kazuto says, with a nod, "That's a good point."
Cody says, "However, it could be a smokescreen."
Davis says, nodding his head, "Kari and I experienced that before." Kari gives a slight nervous look causing Davis to look at her, gain a nervous look at what Kari is implying, and Davis says, looking at Suguha with a nervous look, "No offense."
Suguha says, with a solemn sigh, "None taken."
Ami asks, curiously, "Are you saying that this chaos could be a 'smokescreen' for something else?"
Sora says, nodding her head, "It could be. They have used that tactic before."
Izzy says, with a plain tone, "And I think that's exactly right."
Everyone looks at Izzy causing Tai to ask, "You have something Izzy."
Izzy responds, with a nod, "Yes, I do." Izzy, who has his laptop, which is active, on his lap, responds, "I've been looking into anything 'unusual' happening during the battle and I may have found something."
Ami asks, curiously, "What is it, Izzy?"
Izzy tells Ami, "I'm sending it to your computer now, Ami." Ami looks at her computer and her eyes widen at what she sees.
Mina asks, curiously, "What is it, Ami-chan?"
Ami says, seriously, "This is quite serious. Their target was government facilities."
There are surprised looks from our heroes and heroines causing Rika to ask, surprised, "Are you serious?"
Izzy says, with a nod, "She is. And not just any facilities. These are the storage facilities for the confiscated NervGears."
There are gasps of shock causing Yolei to yell out, shocked, "Are you serious?!"
Izzy says, with a nod of his head, "Very much, Yolei."
Keiko asks, concerned, "What in the world would they want NervGears?'
Cody responds, with a plain tone, "It is going to depend on the 'faction' of Dark Digidestined and Tamers that we are dealing with. Like us, they are all over the world and our 'dark counterparts' have different agendas depending on home nations and various 'other factors' as well."
Gatomon says, with a plain tone, "It could be a ring to sell these on the 'black market'. Sword Art Online may have been focused within this nation, but people worldwide had followed it. It was an 'international incident' despite happening mainly here."
Izzy says, nodding his head in agreement at what Gatomon is implying, "Due to the worldwide implications of SAO for Full-Dive VR technology."
Kazuto says, with a plain tone, "I agree with you, Izzy. And I'm sure that plenty of 'collectors' would love a 'piece of that history'." Kazuto and plenty of the SAO survivors in our group of heroes and heroines grimace at the implications of what Kazuto is saying.
Amara says, with a plain tone, "Based on what we know about criminal organizations, it is an accurate theory."
Ami says, "It is possible…"
Serena asks Ami, a bit nervously, "Ami-chan?"
Izzy says, with a sigh, "But there is something else."
Matt asks, plainly, "I hate to ask: What is this 'something else'?"
After giving a sigh, Izzy responds, plainly, "There have been raids at former Argus facilities as well."
There are more shocked looks causing Tai to say, plainly, "I don't like the sound of that."
Gabumon asks, curiously, "What do you think that they want from former Argus facilities?"
Amara retorts, bluntly, "I have a few ideas."
Rika asks, perplexed, "How did they get into highly guarded facilities as government facilities in the first place?"
Cody responds, "The Digital World."
When everyone looks at Cody, Izzy says, with a sigh, "Unfortunately, there are a number of our 'dark counterparts' that have D-3 style digivices."
Ken asks, shocked, "You mean like mine was?!"
Izzy tells Ken, shaking his head, "Not at the level that your digivice was, Ken. They seem to be typical D-3 digivices with a 'darker tone'. However, it means that our 'dark counterparts', a number of them, have the ability to enter and exit the Digi-World as we do and move all over the world."
Gomamon says, "And it allows them to become 'heads' of the criminal organization that plenty of Dark Digidestined and Tamers belong to since they can open gateways to the Digital World that others can go through."
Izzy says, plainly, "However, it will allow us to track them down."
Lita asks, curiously, "We can?"
Cody says, with a plain tone, "Thanks to Gennai's help, we designed a program that tracks Digi-Port openings that weren't made by our D-3 digivices."
Yolei asks, surprised, "Really?"
Izzy says, with a plain tone and a nod of his head, "Yes, but we can only find out where in the Digital World that they are opened. There are complications of scanning gateways, here, in our world."
Tai says, "At least that's a start. We can get into their base in the Digital World and stop them from whatever they plan to do with those NervGears."
TK says, with a serious tone, "Agreed. By taking those, they are spitting on the graves of those that died in SAO. We need to make sure that those NervGears are never sold as just 'collector's items' or worse, used for some sinister purpose."
Matt says, with a serious tone, "They won't be bro."
Yolei says, with a serious tone, "You got that right, Matt." Plenty of our heroes and heroines nod their heads in agreement.
Naruto asks, curiously, "So, what's the plan?"
Tai says, "Since we are the only ones that can get to the Digi-World, we, the Digidestined, will be taking care of this ourselves."
Mina asks, annoyed, "Hey, what are we? Chopped liver?"
Shion says, with a plain tone, "We don't have the ability to travel between the Digital World and Real Worlds, Mina."
Mina responds, nervously, "Oh, yeah."
Suguha says, with a plain tone, "But I can."
Kazuto asks Suguha, surprised, "Sugu?"
Suguha responds, "My digivice is just as powerful as a D-3 and it has accepted the Digi-Port program that it has, so, I can travel between the Digital World and our world just like they can." Suguha says, looking at Kari, "No insult to Kari. She is a great Sailor Senshi, but something tells me that they are going to need more than one Sailor Scout, even a Valkyrie class one, to take care of this."
Kari replies, with a smile, "None taken, Suguha. It would be awesome to show you the Digi-World."
Davis says, with a grin, "Yeah, you never really went to the Digi-World, did you? Well, it is time for the 'Digi-World tour'. We will be happy to be your guilds."
Suguha responds, with a kind smile, "Well, I can't say that I haven't been to the Digi-World…"
Tai asks, surprised, "You have, Suguha?"
Suguha gives a sigh causing Agumon (Suguha) to say, "Actually, it was more like boss used the Digital World to get from one Neo Paradius base to another."
Lunamon says, with a nod, "Neo Paradius had one or two 'allies' that had D-3 style digivices that opened Digi-Ports and like the older digivices, Suguha could use her digivice to enter opened gateways, but she just used it to open gateways to one area of the Digital World and then used that area to open a gateway to another area of your world, namely another Neo Paradius base."
Hotaru says, a bit nervously, "Oh."
Suguha says, with a blunt tone, "I wasn't in any mood to go exploring."
Lita says, with a nod, "Don't say anymore."
Tai says, looking at the Sailor Scouts, "However, something tells me that it isn't just the Digital World that we need look into."
Izzy says, "Most likely, Tai."
Cody says, nodding his head in agreement, "They have operations in both our world and the Digi-World. In fact, they coordinate all sorts of illegal operations with criminal organizations made up of Digimon."
Yolei asks, surprised, "Criminal Digimon?!"
Joe says, with a sigh, "Around the same time that our 'dark counterparts' started to appear, new 'bad Digimon' also started to appear too. However, they are nothing at the level of Devimon, Etemon, Myotismon, and the like. These 'bad eggs' of Digimon don't have world conquest or destruction even in the back of their minds. They are into 'business'…the kind that's immoral in both worlds."
Gatomon says, plainly, "Basically, a 'Digimon mafia' in short."
TK says, a bit surprised, "That's new."
Izzy says, with a plain tone, "They tend to work with the Dark Digidestined and Tamer organizations."
Raye asks Izzy, "You think that those attacks were from them?"
Cody responds, with a plain tone, "Most likely. It is most likely that they were sent as a distraction to keep us out of the way while Dark Digidestined and Tamers raided the facilities."
Mina says, curiously, "But they fought to their…demises."
Suguha says, with a sigh, "It is most likely that they were heavy 'indoctrinated' much like the Kamikaze of our nation. It isn't mind control or brainwashing like we know it. It is more…subtle."
Lunamon says, with a nod, "They find out the weaknesses of those that they 'recruit' and use that to 'control' them. Not direct 'mind manipulation', but subtlety where they become so 'indoctrinated' that they will do anything since they believe that desires, which could have been twisted by them, will come true."
Yolei says, disgusted, "That's twisted!"
Cody says, with a plain tone, "Twisted, but effective."
Biyomon says, solemnly, "And usually, there is no way to convince them otherwise. They fight to their demises."
Plenty of the other heroes and heroines flinch from this causing TK to say, with a snarl, "I can't tell if they are just as bad or worse than the evil Digimon that we have faced."
Tai asks Izzy, serious tone in his voice, "So, do you know where they are in the Digital World?"
Izzy responds, with a nod, "Thanks to the program, we have the location that they have come from and went into."
Davis asks, with a serious tone, "Then what are we waiting for?"
Veemon says, excitedly, "Yeah, let's show them not to mess up everyone's holiday by bringing up old wounds!"
Gatomon tells Veemon, with a sigh, "I think that it is more than that, Veemon."
Cody says, "Plus, taking care of their operations in the Digital World may not be enough."
Izzy says, with a nod, "They may have a 'base', here, in our world that's working in unison with the facility in the Digital World."
Naruto says, with a smile, "You can leave that to me."
Everyone looks at Naruto causing Kazuto to ask, "What do you mean?"
Naruto says, with his classic foxy smile, "Let's just say that I have my ways." Plenty of the others give him nervous looks causing Naruto to ask, with a glare, "Hey, what's with those looks?"
Sakura tells Naruto, with a smirk, "You know why they are making those smirks, Naruto."
Naruto says, a bit nervously, "Hey, nothing bad happens with my plans…all the time anyway."
Hinata says, with a kind smile, "In the end, all of your plans work out, Naruto-kun."
Sakura says, with a smirk, "Though not always as planned, as it were."
Suguha tells Naruto, with a kind smile, "I'm sure that it will be just fine."
Amara asks, with a shrug, "What do we have to lose?" Naruto glares at Amara and Sakura in annoyance causing Hinata to gently pat him in the back.
Trista says, changing the subject, "Anyway, I believe that it is a wise idea for Suguha to join the Digidestined. One, she has two Digimon partners that can go to Mega level and 'beyond' as you can say. And two, she is the most powerful of us, Sailor Senshi, rivaled only by several in our group. She has greatly mastered her powers and abilities since the end of our 'multiverse journey'."
Suguha says, with a smile, "Well, it wasn't easy."
Mina says, with a grin, "Yeah, but it has good results, girlfriend!"
Tai says, "Anyway, I have to agree with Trista." Tai says, looking at Kazuto, "Suguha is a real powerhouse, Kazuto. No insult to Davis and Kari, who are kickass in their own right, but every powerhouse helps."
Kari tells Tai, with a warm smile, "No insult taken, big brother."
Davis says, with a grin, "I say: 'The more, the merrier'! Another 'heavy hitter' would be perfect!"
Ken says, nodding his head, "Same here. Something tells me that we might need as many 'big hitters' as possible."
Mina says, with a smile, "Sounds like we are forming a plan."
Amara says, with a smile, "Let's get to work." Plenty of the others can't help to nod their heads in agreement as they begin to discuss their plans to stop their enemies on whatever plans that they have for the stolen NervGears.
December 2025, Digital World, Unknown area
Within an unknown area of the Digital World, we find our Digidestined and their Digimon, joined by Sailor Celestial and her two Digimon partners, as we find them assembled together on a snowy hillside looking down at a massive snowy valley surrounded by tall snowy hills like the one that our heroes and heroines are on where they are looking down at a massive Christmas themed town with houses and building seemly made of ice, snow, and/or even gingerbread.
Sailor Celestial asks, curiously, "Is this 'normal' for this world?"
Sailor Sun responds, with a nod, "Yep."
TK says, nodding his head in agreement, "Oh, yeah."
Patamon says, "This is a typical thing for our world."
Izzy tells Sailor Celestial, "You have to remember that the Digi-World was created from all of the data that passed through the vast information of our world, making a lot of the Digi-World based on that information."
Sailor Celestial asks, curiously, "So, this area was created by digital information focused on Christmas, including history, myths, and legends, right?"
Tai says, with a nod, "Bingo, Suguha."
Cody says, "A lot of the Digital World is based on the knowledge of the real world that's in the vast network that we possess and Gennai said that the Digital World is still growing especially with the introduction of VRMMO."
Hawkmon says, with a plain tone, "However, with what happened with Sword Art Online, there was a nasty 'dark seed' planted into the Digital World due to the fact that a lot of 'negativity' came from SAO."
TK says, plainly, "Not surprising."
Sailor Celestial asks, curiously, "Could it have been…?"
However, Izzy responds, plainly, "No, SAO wasn't the 'source' of the Dark Digidestined and Tamers among the new 'dangers' from the Digital World."
Cody says, plainly, "But SAO did make it worse by 'implanting' more 'darkness' into the net, making them stronger than that they would have been without SAO."
Armadillomon says, "And it has made them very tough."
Gatomon says, "It is why they gained the strength to cause such problems in both worlds."
Sailor Celestial says, with an annoyed snarl, "Just another thing to clean up."
Davis tells Sailor Celestial, "Just don't think about that ass. It is going to give you a major headache."
Agumon (Suguha) says, with a nod, "Yeah, boss! You'll just get yourself all grumpy if you do that!" Sailor Celestial smirks at one of her two Digimon partners as she, her Digimon partners, and the Digidestined look down at the Christmas-themed town below them where they see various 'snow-and-ice themed Digimon' including SnowAgumon, SnowGoblimon, Frigimon, and various others.
Gomamon says, "There are a lot of snow and ice type Digimon around here."
Joe tells Gomamon, "Well, it shouldn't be too surprising, Gomamon."
Matt asks, curiously, "See anything?"
Izzy, who is looking through a pair of binoculars, responds, "There seems to be a lot of snow and ice type Digimon all around. I'm seeing a group of Mammothmon…Oh!"
Everyone turns their attention to Izzy causing Sailor Sun to ask, "What is it, Izzy?"
Izzy says, pointing in a certain direction, "Bingo! There is a Mammothmon pulling a cart and it is full of NervGears! Take a look!" Izzy yelps as Tai snatches the binoculars from Izzy while Sailor Celestial activates her visor where she focuses in the direction that Izzy is pointing and, using the telescope/magnification function, looks to see a Mammothmon pulling a cart which is full of NervGears.
Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, "Izzy's right! That cart is full of NervGears!"
Tai says, nodding his head, "Bingo!"
Davis asks, slyly, "Then why are we just sitting around here?"
Yolei tells Davis, sternly, "Hey, Davis, we're going to need a plan here!"
Davis responds, "We don't have time for this! Let's go with the old 'bait and switch'! One of us launches a frontal attack as a distraction while another group sneaks in to take care of business!"
Tai says, with a nod and plain tone, "That's a pretty good idea actually." When everyone looks at Tai, he says, "There is a HUGE amount of Digimon all around here and we need to get in to retrieve or, if that's not possible, permanently disable those NervGears, so, they can't be used for anything bad."
Matt says, with a plain tone, "Which could also mean turning them into hulking scrap metal if they are trying to pawn them off as 'souvenirs'." The SAO survivors of our group can't help to gain slight looks of 'irritation' on their faces from that thought.
Cody says, plainly, "They may do that with some of them, but they may also have other plans for them…and ones that we don't want to see happen."
Armadillomon says, with a nod, "No joke!"
Tai says, "And an old 'bait and sneak' tactic seems to be a good idea."
TK says, "Let's discuss how we are going to do this."
Patamon says, nodding his head, "Good idea."
Sailor Celestial asks, "I wonder: How are Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata are doing?"
Agumon (Suguha) says, with a smile, "I'm sure that they are doing just fine, boss."
December 2025, Tokyo, Japan
On the snowy rooftops of the skyscrapers of Tokyo, Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata are together as they look over the city.
Hinata says, "It is so beautiful."
Sakura says, with a nod, "Yeah, it is nice in this way."
Naruto says, with a warm smile, "Believe it." But then Naruto senses something in which he glances at Sakura and Hinata where they notice Naruto's 'look' where they notice make slight 'jesters' with one of his hands before forming a Rasengan in said hand causing Hinata and Sakura to very lightly nod at some kind of unsaid agreement. Sakura and Hinata prepare their attacks with Naruto as they still seem to stare out towards the city as a group of 'shadows' loom ever closer to them, but when the 'shadows' get close, Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata immediately spin around and attack the 'shadows' revealed to be seemly shinobi dressed similar to the Black Spider Clan. However, when the 'shinobi' are hit, in a large puff of 'smoke', they 'turn' into wooden puppets made of logs which are turned into splinters by the attack.
After the attack is done, Hinata says, a bit shocked, "Puppets."
Sakura asks, annoyed, "Seriously?"
Naruto says, with a sigh, "All right, Haruka-chan, you can come out now."
Just then a female voice responds, "Ah, is that way to greet a friend, Naruto-kun?" Out of the shadows of the rooftop, a young woman emerges to face our three shinobi.
This young woman has blonde hair that is curled at the ends with a large pink bow on top in which her outfit resembles pink and white lingerie with white cups, and a diamond shaped opening revealing a good portion of her voluptuous…assets. Covering her legs and arms are white garments, and she wears thin white bottom with simple pink high heels. On her back is a large white lab coat lined with many different vials filled with hazardous chemicals.
Sakura tells Haruka, with a deadpan look, "Friend is a major stretch, Haruka."
The young woman, known as Haruka, a member of an independent shinobi group known as the Crimson Squad, responds, slyly, "Oh, Sakura-chan, so harsh for you to say after we have been through so much together already."
Hinata gains a light hue on her cheeks from those words causing Naruto to say, trying to remain calm, "We're just here for some information."
Haruka responds, with a sly smirk, "About the robberies?"
Sakura says, with a glare, "It isn't surprising that you would know something about it!"
Haruka tells Sakura, "Sakura-chan…Sakura-chan…we are shinobi after all…to us…information is power."
Hinata says, a bit nervously, "She does have a point."
Naruto asks, with a sigh, "So, how do we get the information that we need?"
Haruka tells Naruto, with a sly smile, "Straight to the point, Naruto-kun? I didn't know that you were so bold."
Sakura tells Haruka, annoyed, "Just get to the point!"
Haruka tells Sakura, with her sly tone, "Now, Sakura-chan, you should know better than that." Haruka struts over to Naruto where she says, slyly, "If you want to know, my team and I are going to have a special holiday party and you, Sakura-chan, Hinata-chan, and Suguha-chan are all invited."
Sakura asks, shocked and irritated, "Are you serious?"
Haruka responds, slyly, "Can you really afford not to agree?"
Hinata looks at Naruto causing Naruto to reply, with a sigh, "Fine, Haruka. We'll come."
Sakura gives a shocked look while Haruka responds, slyly, "I knew that you would agree, Naruto-kun." Haruka then reaches in-between her 'assets' and takes out a USB flash drive causing her to say, "There you go, Naruto-kun. That chip has the details on what you need to know."
After Haruka hands the flash drive to Naruto, Hinata asks, curiously, "How did you get this information?"
Sakura says, with a plain tone, "It isn't surprising that they would have 'ties' to the new 'criminal underworld' of Digital World and Digidestined, Hinata."
Haruka says, with a sly smile, "We are evil ninja after all, Sakura-chan."
Naruto tells Haruka, "There are no 'good and evil shinobi', Haruka. There is ONLY the 'shinobi way'."
Haruka says, with a sly smile, "There are plenty outside of the Elemental Countries that would disagree with you, Naruto-kun. However, since our 'two worlds' have become closer, there are plenty in 'our world' that would agree with you."
Sakura asks, with a suspicious glare, "What are you up to this time?"
Haruka responds, slyly, "That's for me to know and you to find out, Sakura-chan."
Sakura gives a greatly angered glare in which Hinata tells Sakura, with a nervous smile, "Easy, Sakura-chan. You know that this is how Haruka-san is."
Haruka tells Hinata, with a sly smile, "Oh, Hinata-chan, you are so sweet. You are just like Hibari-chan and it makes me like you more." Hinata gains a nervous look causing both Naruto and Sakura to move in front of her. Haruka walks off where she says, with a sly grin, "Can't wait to see all of you with Suguha-chan soon." Haruka then 'disappears' in classic shinobi fashion as they look at the flash drive given to them by Haruka.
December 2025, Digital World, Unknown area
Back in the Digital World, we find ourselves at the Christmas-themed location where it has become a battlefield as WarGreymon, MetalGarurumon, Garudamon, Lillymon, Zudomon, and MegaKabuterimon are in all-out assault against the various snow, ice, and/or winter/arctic 'style' Digimon with Tai on WarGreymon's back, Matt on MetalGarurumon's back, Sora riding on one of Garudamon's feet, Joe on is Zudomon's back, and both Mimi and Izzy are on MegaKabuterimon's back.
"Horn Buster!"
MegaKabuterimon unleashes a powerful beam of energy from his horn where it slams into a large group SnowGoblimon and deleting them nearly instantly.
"Vulcan's Hammer!"
Zudomon slams his hammer into the ground where a group of SnowAgumon are deleted nearly instantly.
Joe says, plainly, "I'm feeling kind of bad for them." However, Lillymon yelps as she dodges the freezing attack of A LOT of Mammothmon.
Lillymon says, "You wouldn't be in my position!"
Mimi tells Lillymon, concerned, "Be careful, Lillymon!"
Sora tells her Digimon partner, "Let's help them out!"
Garudamon says, with a nod, "Right, Sora!"
"Wing Blade!"
Garudamon's 'flaming phoenix' attack slams into one Mammothmon and deleting him in which WarGreymon rush over to MetalGarurumon.
WarGreymon says, "Take Tai!"
MetalGarurumon says, with a nod, "You got it!"
Tai leaps over to MetalGarurumon's back causing Tai to say, "It's all you, WarGreymon!"
"Great Tornado!"
WarGreymon spins into a massive orange energy twister that 'sweeps away' a good portion of the Mammothmon that either send them either flying far way where they hit the ground causing them to fall into unconsciousness on impact or they are instantly deleted due to the sheer power of the attack.
Tai says, excitedly, "Great job, WarGreymon!"
Joe shouts out, nervously, "I think that we have gotten their attention!" As if to show Joe is right, multiple explosion 'hit' all around the Digidestined group from the remaining opposing Digimon against them.
Zudomon tells Joe, "I believe that you are right, Joe."
Lillymon says, a bit nervously, "That's for sure!"
After an explosion hits nearby MegaKabuterimon, Mimi asks, a bit nervously, "Do you think that the others are okay?"
MegaKabuterimon says, "With the nose that we are making…yep!"
Izzy says, with a nod, "Most of the guards are focused on us, so, the others should slip in just fine."
(Elsewhere in this location; on the meanwhile)
Some distance away, we find ourselves within a massive 'mansion' similar to Santa Claus' home/workshop seem in all sorts of fiction where, inside of the mansion, there are ShadowWereGarurumon, a black and dark grey more 'feral' version of WereGarurumon, Gabumon's Ultimate form, surrounded by a squad of Fugamon, who look like a brown version of Ogremon with tiger stripped clothing, as they look at carts filled with the NervGears.
One of the Fugamon tells ShadowWereGarurumon, "What are they doing here?"
ShadowWereGarurumon responds, pointing to the NervGears, "Why do you think, you idiot?!"
Another Fugamon asks, confused, "Why would they want these strange looking helmets?"
ShadowWereGarurumon responds, plainly, "Because those 'strange looking helmets' caused a real panic in the human world awhile back and now, our partners want to use that infamy for themselves."
A third Fugamon asks, curiously, "How so?"
ShadowWereGarurumon retorts, with a snort, "That's nothing that your mind can wrap itself with, you poor excuse of a Devimon."
Just then a familiar male voice says, with a sly tone, "Maybe you can explain it to us, you bad excuse for a 'big bad wolf'!" The Digimon gasp in shock and look towards the source of the voice only for ShadowWereGarurumon to yelp as he gets blasted in the face by a beam of holy energy, curtesy of Angemon, which knocks ShadowWereGarurumon to the ground. With Angemon, there is his human partner, TK, with Davis, who has his Light Hawk wings active, Sailor Sun, Sailor Celestial, Cody, Yolei, Kari, Ken, Stingmon, Magnamon, Angewomon, Digmon, Shurimon, Agumon (Suguha), and Lekismon, Lunamon's Champion form.
Digmon tells Angemon, "Good shot, Angemon!"
Angemon says, with a nod, "No problem."
Sailor Celestial says, with a curious tone, "Wow, that hurt him more than I thought."
Sailor Sun says, "That's because angel Digimon like Angemon and Angewomon have a special advantage over 'dark' Digimon."
Magnamon says, with a nod, "That's right. Digimon similar to Myotismon are weak to Angemon's attacks and that's allows him to fight him in just as a Champion Digimon."
Digmon says, "Yeah. Going Ultimate form and using his powerful attack might be a bit overboard."
TK says, "Not to insult my partner, but that's a good point."
Angemon says, with a smile, "No insult taken, TK. I don't to use my Ultimate form's power in this enclosed space and I'm glad that I don't need to especially with Angewomon and Magnamon."
Davis asks the surprised enemy Digimon, with a smirk, "Okay, we can do this the hard way or the easy way. So, how are we going to do this?"
ShadowWereGarurumon responds, with a dark cruel smile, "Actually, we were thinking of doing this…OUR way!" Just then whole mansion starts to shake in which our heroes and heroines struggle to stay standing.
Yolei shouts out, confused, "What the heck?!"
Digmon asks, confused, "What's the shake-rattle-and-rumble?!"
Stingmon says, nervously, "I don't have a good feeling about this."
Ken says, "It is good that you don't, Stingmon, because I don't have a good feeling about this either!" Soon after, our heroes and heroines scream out as they drop through a hole in the floor while ShadowWereGarurumon gives an evil smirk as he and, currently confused, Fugamon rise up towards the roof of the structure. Outside of the mansion, it is changing and 'morphing' while our heroes and heroines that got into the mansion are flung out of the mansion and onto the snowy ground.
They quickly get back to our feet in which Yolei yells out, annoyed, "What was that all about?!"
Shurimon says, pointing ahead of him, "Yolei, look!" Everyone then looks in the direction of where Shurimon is pointing causing them to see the 'mansion' transform into a giant toy-like robot, much like Puppetmon's mansion did against Tai's team years ago during their fight against the Dark Masters.
Yolei yells out, flabbergasted, "You have got to be kidding me!"
Sailor Celestial says, stunned, "If this is a joke, I'm not laughing!"
Angemon says, "This is like Puppetmon over again!"
TK says, "Personally, I don't want to remember that battle."
Angewomon says, "Kari and I can agree on with that one."
Magnamon says, seriously, "Watch it!" Sailor Celestial grabs Agumon (Suguha), takes flight with Sailor Sun, Davis, Stingmon, who grabs onto Ken, Angewomon, and Angemon, who grabs onto TK, while Digmon drills under the ground with Cody on his back while Shurimon grabs onto Yolei and leaps away with Lekismon as the giant toy-like robot stomps the area that they were in. Soon after, the robot starts to lash out with its arms while cockpit area of the robot, which is in the head of the robot, is ShadowWereGarurumon with his Fugamon minions.
ShadowWereGarurumon gives an evil laugh where he shouts out, "How do you like me now, Digi-brats? Let's see how you do against someone that's way bigger than you!" ShadowWereGarurumon laughs evilly as he controls the immense robot against our heroes and heroines.
(Back with the others; during this same time)
Returning back to the original Digidestined team, human and Digimon, they are still fighting a large amount of enemy Digimon and they are seeing what's happening with the rest of their friends/family elsewhere.
Matt asks, in disbelief, "You have got to be kidding!"
Tai, who is still riding MetalGarurumon's back, responds, "If someone is kidding, then I'm not laughing at the punchline."
WarGreymon says, "I guess someone read deeply into Puppetmon and his tactics!"
Tai says, with a groan of annoyance, "Well, I wish that they didn't."
Sora yells out, concerned, "What do we do now?"
Just then multiple explosions hit all along this group of Digidestined causing Lillymon to say, "I say that we watch out for them!" Lillymon points ahead of her and everyone looks to see their opponents rallying against them.
Mimi says, nervously, "There are just so many of them!"
Joe says, nervously, "And things are about to get worse!" Tai and his group of Digidestined look to see two Mammothmon digivolve into SkullMammothmon.
Sora says, nervously, "Just great."
Tai says, "Hopefully, the others have better luck than we are."
December 2025, Tokyo, Japan
Back in the 'real world', we find ourselves within what looks like under a regular parking garage within the famous Akihabara section of Tokyo where we find a mixture of humans and Digimon inside of what looks like high-tech facility/lab in which we can see a few Datamon 'dissecting' a NervGear.
One of the Datamon says, "This is fascinating. I would have never guessed that a flesh and blood human could make such advanced and also deadly technology."
One of the humans, a young male of late teenage years with short pitch black hair and blue eyes, responds, "Humans have been known to do the unexpected, Datamon. However, Digimon have been known to do the same things."
The Datamon responds, with a nod, "True enough. It isn't too surprising since our world was created from the data of human technology after all despite the Digital World and us, Digimon, evolved beyond the 'forces' that created us."
The male human retorts, nodding his head, "That's for sure. But while your kind can 'evolve' on your own, your evolution can be enhanced and accelerated by us."
The Datamon says, with a nod, "Indeed. I, like many of my kind, are still curious about that." Before the conversation can continue, the door opens to see one young man and two young ladies, wearing what looks like classic 'biker outfits' from motorcycle gangs in the United States, walk into the room.
The male human says, with a smile, "Ah, our contacts from the 'Digital Dark Angels'. Welcome to Japan."
The 'biker male' says, with a serious tone, "Skip the pleasantries, dude. Let's get to business."
The male human responds, with a grin, "Down to business, huh? Good." The three 'bikers' walk over, but then there is a loud alarm causing the male human to ask, confused, "What is this?"
Just then, over an intercom, a female voice shouts out, "Akito-sama, we have just found the representatives of the Digital Dark Angels within a storage area, tied up and unconscious!" The male human, Akito, gives wide-eyed as he looks towards the three 'bikers', who then smirk before they are engulfed in puffs of smoke to reveal that they are none other than Naruto, Sakura, and Sailor Galaxy, who were originally under their classic Henge until now.
Akito gives a look of shock where Naruto says, with his classic cheeky smile, "Happy Holidays, jerk!" The last thing that Akito sees is Naruto's fist coming towards his face.
(Outside; on the meanwhile)
Outside of the 'hidden base', Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Star, Sailor Orion, and the Moon Kingdom-connected Sailor Scouts, minus Sailor Celestial, since she is in the Digital World currently, are assembled on the nearby rooftop looking at the vast parking garage where the Dark Digidestined facility, hidden underground, is.
Sailor Jupiter asks, plainly, "Can we trust those shinobi?"
Sailor Mercury says, her visor active and using her mini-computer, "It seems like they were right."
Sailor Saturn says, "I hope that Naruto, Sakura, and Hinata are okay."
Sailor Venus says, with a grin, "I'm sure that they will be just fine, Saturn. This is Naruto we're talking about."
Sailor Orion says, "I believe that Uranus would agree with me that's why we're worried."
Sailor Uranus says, with a plain tone, "Took the words right out of my mouth, Orion."
Sailor Star says, with a nervous smile, "I'm sure that things won't go too far, Uranus-chan."
Sailor Moon asks, curiously, "What do you think that Naruto meant by 'we would know the signal', Darien-kun?" Before Tuxedo Mask could answer, there was a loud explosion that came the parking garage causing a number of the group to yelp in shock.
Sailor Venus asks, shocked, "What was that?"
Sailor Orion responds, plainly, "I think that's the 'signal' that Naruto mentioned."
Sailor Mars tells Sailor Moon, in an annoyed tone, "You had to ask Meatball Head."
Sailor Moon says, nervously, "I should have known."
Sailor Jupiter says, nervously, "Yeah, this is Naruto that we are talking about."
Sailor Star says, with a nervous expression and nod of her head, "Yes…"
Sailor Uranus says, "We had better get down there…and not to help Naruto."
Sailor Mars says, with a nod, "No joke. We have to make sure that there is anything left to put these guys away." Soon enough, the Sailor Scouts and Tuxedo Mask leap/float down to get to the base, more to make sure that it doesn't get too 'chaotic' rather than any need to help Naruto, Sakura, and Sailor Galaxy since they know that the three of them can handle themselves without their help. On the meanwhile, some distance away, a familiar group of female shinobi from Hanzo Academy are watching from a good distance away.
Katsuragi says, with a grin, "Naruto-kun really knows how to start a holiday party!"
Asuka says, nervously, "I'm not sure that's the way to call it."
Hibari asks, curiously, "What should we do?"
Ikaruga says, with a plain tone, "We're going to need to make sure that no one escapes the battle."
Yagyu points to one area causing her to say, "I believe that we should start with them." When the rest of Yagyu's team look where Yagyu is pointing, they see a group of several humans, one BlackAgumon, and two ToyAgumon racing down the alleyways behind the parking garage.
Katsuragi says, with a wide grin, "All right, time for us to join the party!" Katsuragi cracks her knuckles as she prepares to leap out to engage the escaping humans and Digimon with Ikaruga sighing as she draws out her kitana.
December 2025, Digital World, Unknown area
Returning to the Digital World, our heroes and heroines, both human and Digimon, are in a fierce struggling as Tai's group is dealing with the two SkullMammothmon while the others have to deal with the massive robot-like mecha, similar to the one piloted by Puppetmon, with this one being piloted by ShadowWereGarurumon.
The massive robot opens up slots all over its body causing Yolei to ask, "Now what?" Yolei gets her answer as cannon fire starts to rain down on them causing her to yelp as Shurimon, who is carrying Yolei, barely manages to dodge the cannon fire with the shockwaves that impacting ordinance causes when it hits the ground and/or buildings.
Davis shouts out, annoyed, "You had to ask, Yolei!"
Sailor Celestial says, irritated tone in her voice, "I've had enough of this!"
Agumon (Suguha) yells out, "Same here, boss! Toss me high up!"
Sailor Celestial asks her Digimon partner, "Are you sure?"
Agumon (Suguha) says, "Yep!"
Sailor Celestial says, with a sigh, "I wonder about you, Agumon." Sailor Celestial then flings Agumon (Suguha) high into air and way above everyone.
When ShadowWereGarurumon sees this, he shouts out, with a nasty smirk and snort, "Ha! Guess you are giving up on that squirt!" However, Sailor Celestial takes out her digivice and prepares to digivolve her Digimon partner as her right hand glows with energy known as the DNA Charge.
"DNA Charge, Overdrive!" Sailor Celestial yells out as she slams the energy in her armored right hand on her digivice causing it to send a beam of energy to Agumon (Suguha).
Warp Digivolution
"Agumon Double Warp Digivolve to…ShineGreymon!"
End Warp Digivolution
After ShineGreymon's Digivolution is finished, ShadowWereGarurumon gasps in shock and horror and he doesn't have time to react as ShineGreymon zooms in where he slams his right fist into the robot's head causing it to stumble backwards.
When he regains focus, ShadowWereGarurumon yells out, "Fire! Fire!" The robot's 'gun ports' open fire at ShineGreymon, but the gun ports are hit by Davis, Sailor Sun, and Sailor Celestial where their armaments are destroyed.
"Charge, DNA Burst Mode!" Sailor Celestial shouts out as she turns her digivice sideways where it sends more energy into ShineGreymon.
Mode Change Digivolution
"ShineGreymon Mode Change to…ShineGreymon Burst Mode!"
End Mode Change Digivolution
ShineGreymon, now in his Burst Mode, gathers his energy as he prepares to attack causing him to shout out, "It isn't going to be a happy holiday for you, furball!"
"Final Glorious Burst!"
ShineGreymon BM is wrapped up in massive flames where he charges at the massive robot, where, inside, ShadowWereGarurumon and his minions, shout out in fear as ShineGreymon BM strikes the robot causing a massive explosion causing the massive robot along with everyone inside to become instantly vaporized in a massive column of flames.
Davis says, with a sly, yet, nervous smirk, "Whoa! Toasty!"
Sailor Celestial tells ShineGreymon BM, "We did want to try to get those NervGears back, ShineGreymon."
ShineGreymon BM responds, nervously, "Oops. Sorry, boss."
Ken says, with a plain tone, "At least they won't be used for anymore evil purposes."
Stingmon says, with a nod, "Right."
Yolei says, with a plain tone, "Sorry if I don't feel bad that Suguha's Digimon partner went on overkill on that one. To be honest, I don't he did enough."
Sailor Sun tells Yolei, with a kind smile, "We understand."
Davis says, nodding his head in agreement, "Plenty of SAO survivors that were there with you would agree."
TK says, with a nod of his head, "As one, myself, I say: Davis, you took the words right out of my mouth."
Angewomon says, "We should help Tai and the others mop up the rest."
Sailor Sun says, looking at where Tai and his group is fighting, "Good idea, Angewomon. They are doing well, but it looks like two of the Mammothmon just got to the Mega form." However, at this moment, WarGreymon manages to strike a blow against one SkullMammothmon's 'core' causing it to 'shatter' into hundreds to thousands of data particles.
Digmon, seeing this event with Cody, says, "Make that one."
Shurimon says, with a plain tone, "I'm sure that Tai and the others will be fine. We should also make sure that there are no more NervGears in this area."
Ken says, with a nod, "Good thinking, Shurimon. We had better make sure that if there any more NervGears than what was in that place and take them into our 'custody'."
Yolei says, nodding her head in agreement with Ken, "Right."
Sailor Celestial says, "Good point." Sailor Celestial tells ShineGreymon BM, "While the others can handle that big bag of bones, let's make sure that they will absolutely be all right. ShineGreymon, lend them a hand."
ShineGreymon BM responds, with a nod, "You got it, boss!" ShineGreymon BM races off to aid the members of our heroes and heroines fighting against SkullMammothmon, who still has support from plenty of ice and snow 'themed' Digimon, while Sailor Celestial, Sailor Sun, and the rest of their group zip off to make sure that there are no more NervGears in this area in which, if there are anymore NervGears, they don't fall into the wrong hands.
December 2025, Tokyo, Japan, Chiyoda Ward
Back in the Chiyoda Ward of Tokyo, namely the Akiba, Naruto, Sakura, Sailor Galaxy, Sailor Star, Sailor Orion, and the Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts with a tied up Akito on the ground while the Hanzo Academy shinobi have the humans that they saw attempting to run away from the attack at the Dark Digidestined facility.
Sailor Uranus says, with a sneer, "Akito Asutawa."
Sailor Moon asks Sailor Uranus, "Do you know him?"
Sailor Nebula says, plainly, "He has been a real problem for not only the girls, but the Digidestined during the two years of Sword Art Online."
Sailor Orion says, "Since the defenses of Tokyo were greatly weakened since some of the Digidestined were trapped in SAO with Sailor Moon trapped in SAO."
Sailor Mars says, with a nod, "Bingo."
Sailor Jupiter says, glaring at Akito, "This worm teamed up with the Dark Agency from time to time causing never-ending trouble for us."
Sailor Nebula says, "And in the latter stages of SAO, before the end, attacks from the Dark Agency and the Dark Digidestined 'gangs' forced me to join in for time to time, especially because of him."
Yagyu says, pointing to those that Hanzo group captured, "And these are his top lieutenants." Yagyu points to one of the group that she and her teammates captures causing her to say, "And this guy is one of the kids of one of Sugou Nobuyuki's technicians."
There are shocked looks of the Sailor Scouts causing Sailor Moon to ask, "Are you saying…?"
Ikaruga says, with a nod, "Yes, they were going to attempt to restart and continue to perfect Nobuyuki's mind-control technology."
There are gasps of shock in which Sailor Uranus says, with a plain tone of finality, "Not anymore."
Naruto says, with a sly smirk, "Now, I'm really glad that I wrecked that place."
Sailor Galaxy tells the Hanzo group, "Thank you for helping us with them."
Ikaruga says, "We just did our duty."
Sailor Galaxy says, with a kind smile, "But thank you for your help anyway, Ikaruga."
Katsuragi says, with a sly grin, "Hey, no problem!"
Ikaruga says, with a plain tone, "We couldn't allow anything like Sword Art Online happen again."
Sailor Jupiter says, glancing at Sailor Moon, "No joke."
Just then there is a loud 'beep' causing Sailor Moon to get her communicator causing her to say, activating it, "Yes?"
Sailor Celestial's voice comes from the communicator, "Hey, sis!"
Sailor Moon says, "Celestial!"
Sailor Celestial says, over the communicator with a somewhat nervous tone, "I can report that our mission was…mostly successful."
Sailor Mars asks, a bit nervously, "MOSTLY successful?"
Sailor Celestial says, in a nervous tone, "We have gotten data on who did this and their plans for them, but most of the NervGears…are 'extra crispy' if you know what I mean."
Sailor Uranus asks, with a shrug, "Is that all?"
Sakura says, with a nod of her head, "I don't think many people will be crying over that."
Yagyu says, with a plain tone, "But it will be a headache for the government administrators that were overseeing the NervGears and their disposal."
Sailor Venus asks, confused, "They started collecting the NervGears shortly after that nightmare started! So, why are there still plenty of NervGears still around?"
Sailor Mercury responds, "While the government went to the dispose of the NervGears, they didn't just want to 'throw them into the trash'. There are valuable electronics that could be used for other applications. So, the government gathered the NervGears to be put in warehouses where they were to be shipped to areas where they would be dismantled by safely 'breaking them down' into their components where said components would be 'recycled' for other uses."
Sailor Orion says, with a plain tone, "Plus, there are the numbers of ones that they kept for research purposes."
Naruto says, annoyed, "Yeah, I get it! So, they couldn't destroy them overnight, but they should have gotten rid of them immediately after it started."
Katsuragi says, with a smile, "I've got to say that I agree, foxy!"
Yagyu says, with a plain tone, "While you have a point, the Amusphere is a heavily modified version of the NervGear, but those modifications are to increase the safety of Full-Dive VR technology with the dangers exposed by SAO, however, the 'quality' of the Amusphere, while very good, isn't at the level of the NervGear, so, they wish to improve the Amusphere. There are plenty of experts on this kind of technology, but no one is at the level of Kayaba."
Sailor Venus says, "Thank Kami for that." Sailor Moon gives a solemn sigh in which Tuxedo Mask gently puts her shoulders in which Sailor Moon looks at her boyfriend causing Tuxedo Mask to warmly smile at our Moon Princess causing Sailor Moon to warmly smile in kind.
Katsuragi says, with a sigh, "What a holiday season."
Sailor Jupiter says, nodding her head, "You said it."
Sailor Celestial calls out, over the communicator, "Hello?"
The others immediately focus on the communicator causing Sailor Moon to say, nervously, "Oh, right! Let's meet up soon!"
Sailor Celestial responds, a bit nervously, "Right."
Naruto says, "See you soon, Suguha-chan!"
Sailor Celestial says, "See you soon, Naruto." Soon enough, the communication 'channel' is shut down causing Sailor Moon to sigh.
Sailor Moon says, solemnly, "I thought that we were done with Sugou and his machinations."
Yagyu says, "When SAO started…No, when the Full-Dive VR technology was successfully developed, this 'Pandora's Box' was opened. It was Kayaba and Nobuyuki that exposed us to this one."
Sailor Moon says, with a sigh and nodding her head, "Yes, you're right."
Tuxedo Mask says, trying to change the subject, "Anyway, thank you for your assistance and we will share what we found."
Sailor Mars says, bluntly while glancing at the destroyed Dark Digidestined base, "If there is anything to be shared."
Naruto rubs his head nervously causing Katsuragi, with a grin, "Let's get this over with so we can enjoy the holidays!" Katsuragi then glances at her team with the other females all around her causing a number of our female heroes to become nervous at her glancing for obvious reasons.
December 2025, Tokyo, Japan, Taito Ward, Dicey Café
Returning to Dicey Café, we find our heroes and heroines, minus Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, and Suguha, are assembled together in which the Sailor Scouts and Digidestined of the group are talking with Kazuto, Rika, Keiko, Kotone, Nijika, Ryoutarou, and Andrew what happened on their mission.
Andrew says, his eyes widen, "Damn. That's just messed up."
Ryoutarou says, with a nod of his head, "Took the words right out of my mouth, bro."
Kotone says, nervously, "That's horrifying."
Rika says, irritated and disgusted tone in her voice, "Disgusting."
Asuna says, with a nod, "They were planning to continue Sugou's work on the mind control technology."
Kazuto says, "That's why they needed the NervGears. Due to the fact that the Amusphere have extensive security features in them, they could use the NervGears to do the work especially since, unlike the Amusphere, the NervGear can completely eliminate 'outside stimuli'."
Keiko asks, curiously, "Shouldn't they have gotten rid of all of the NervGears already?"
Ami says, with a plain tone, "The government didn't just want to 'trash' all of the NervGears since some of the electronics could be used in other ways, so, they decided to slowly disassemble them."
Kazuto says, with a sigh, "In which you can't just disassemble something like a NervGears like assembling mass-produced products in a factory. They have to be careful 'broken apart' and the components of the NervGears sorted out. By the time of the SAO beta, there were over two hundred thousand NervGears out in which the beta ended in August where SAO started in early November of Twenty-Twenty-Two, I suspect that there were more NervGears out in public and plus, there were most likely more 'in reverse' to deal as either 'replacements' or 'extras'."
Amara says, with a plain tone, "Hundreds of thousands to probably close to a million. Even though it has been around ten months since SAO ended with Kayaba's defeat on the top floor, there could be quite a number of NervGears remaining stored in the 'storage facilities' that were being prepared to be disassembled."
Mina says, excitedly, "Anyway, let's celebrate getting rid of one pain in the neck that has been giving us headache for several years now!"
Gomamon says, with a nod, "I hear that!"
Veemon says, nodding his head in agreement, "Okay!"
Lita asks, curiously, "I wonder: How are Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, and Suguha doing?"
Kazuto's eyebrow twitches a bit causing Asuna to tell Kazuto, "Kirito-kun…"
Kazuto tells Asuna, "Asuna, how am I supposed to react?"
Asuna tells Kazuto, with a sigh, "I don't blame you, Kirito-kun. She is your sister and your family in which Suguha-chan has been through a lot."
Serena says, with a nod, "That's for sure."
Asuna tells Kazuto, continuing her statement, "However, Suguha-chan is a strong young woman and she will be just fine especially with Naruto, Sakura-chan, and Hinata-chan."
Kazuto says, with a sigh, "I guess that you are right. But I'm not liking the fact that they agreed to go to a group of 'evil ninjas' and their holiday party."
Amara says, with a plain tone, "Personally, I don't think that we need to worry about them. In fact, I think that this 'Crimson Squad' is the one that we should be worried about."
Hotaru asks Amara, curiously, "How so, Amara?"
Amara says, with a sly smirk, "From what we know about them, this Haruka girl will try something as a prank, but she will be trying to out prank Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze."
Michelle says, with a sly smile, "And we know how that goes." Plenty of the others can't help to nod their heads in agreement with Amara and Michelle.
December 2025, Tokyo, Japan
Within a luxurious and huge dining hall that would fine at the finest restaurants and hotels, Naruto, Sakura, Hinata, Suguha, and members of the Crimson Squad, Homura, Yomi, Hikage, and Mirai along with their former teacher, Rin, are assembled around Haruka as she squirms around on the floor, but Haruka isn't in pain. Haruka has flush cheeks and giving out erotic moans of pleasure as she squirms on the floor.
Mirai says, in a nasty tone, "Serves you right, wench!"
Suguha asks, annoyed, "Seriously?"
Naruto says, shaking his head, "You should have really known better, Haruka-chan."
Haruka moans out, "How…did you…know?"
Sakura tells Haruka, sternly while pointing to Naruto, "Have you forgotten who Naruto is? Seriously? You have fiction on us especially Naruto and you thought that you could outdo him in pranking?! Seriously?!"
Naruto says, with a sly smile, "I did this kind of thing to the old man and even ANBU…when I was a toddler!"
Rin says, shaking her head, "I'm so disappointed in you, Haruka. I thought that I taught you better than this."
Hikage asks, curiously, "So what do we do with her?"
Mirai says, irritated, "Let's leave her on the ground moaning like the slut that she is! She deserves it!"
Hinata asks, curiously, "We aren't going to leave Haruka like that, are we?"
Sakura gives a sigh causing her to look at Naruto in which Naruto nods causing Sakura to say, reluctant tone in her voice, "I'll whip up an antidote."
Haruka moans out, "But…I never…created an…"
Sakura says, taking a cup of a liquid from Naruto's hands, "I'll make one. Thanks to learning about all the stuff that's outside of the Elemental Countries, I'll be able to create a counter to this…" Sakura then looks at Haruka, with a mischievous smirk, "Eventually…"
December 2025, Tokyo, Japan, Odaiba District
On the streets of the Odaiba District, we find Davis, Kari, and their Digimon partners walking through the streets of their home district of the capital of Japan.
Davis says, "What a day!"
Kari says, with a nod of her head, "I agree, Dai-kun."
Gatomon says, with a sigh, "At least that's over."
Veemon says, with a nod, "Yep!" Davis and Kari smile warmly as they walk along and hold their hands, but as they walk along, they don't notice that watching them from above is a lovely young woman with long dark brown hair with much of it tied in a ponytail, brown hair, and a gorgeous feminine body frame where she is wearing white cloth covering only the parts of her form to make sure that it isn't very obscene with a long white veil surrounding her form. This lovely young woman is looking at Davis and Kari, especially Kari, in which she remember meeting Kari for the first time and sensing something where she 'feels' something now as she looks at them, but she vanishes from sight. When she is gone, Kari 'senses' something and looks in the direction that young woman was.
Davis, Veemon, and Gatomon are surprised by this causing Davis to ask, "What's wrong?"
However, Kari shakes her head, turns her head back to look at her boyfriend and the two Digimon, causing her to say, with a kind smile, "It was nothing. I guess that I'm on edge."
Davis says, with a warm smile, "Don't blame you, Kari. Let's go." Kari nods her head, and the couple heads off in which while Gatomon isn't sure, but she and Veemon, especially, decide to keep going, not noticing the female figure that was watching them earlier, bound down from the rooftop into the streets where she disappears into the vastness of the city.
