Here in the next story and now, we are returning to the 'Hollow Fragment' timeline. For this one, I believe that since we are quite deep into SAO Beyond, I thought that a story based on that story's prologue might be a good idea. So, there might be minor spoilers for that story, but nothing too major, everyone. Now, before I start this story,I must give thanks and credit to Belletiger and Kanius as well as Kanius' YuYuGiDigiMoon fanfiction series, especially his The Invasion of the Rajita story, for giving me permission to use the idea of Valkyrie Sailor Soldiers and everything that's a part of them in my fanfiction. I would like to give thanks and credit to Kanius and his YuYuGiDigiMoon series, including this author's Dawn of Chaos story, and LazerWulf for giving me permission to use the idea for their version of Sailor Charon, namely the fact that she is Sailor Pluto's sister among other things. I would also like to give thanks and credit to Matty G91 and this author's story of Kamen Rider Lunar for giving me permission to use Kamen Rider Lunar, his looks, and everything about him as well as the UNI-SHOCKER organization as well as the idea of Darth Revan Sammy Tsukino and the other alternate versions of said character.

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.

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…

Story 45: Tenbi Legacy

Note: This story takes place during the Prologue of SAO Beyond.

Early May 2026, Japan, Tenbi Academy

In the Japanese countryside, we find ourselves looking at a series of academic buildings that are surrounded by roads, grasslands, and forests with a stream bisecting it down the middle. This is Tenbi Academy, an academy that has gone from co-ed to all-girls with it recently going back to co-ed, but this isn't your regular Japanese academic school. The students possess powerful mystical and/or spiritual abilities to use items known as Maken which allow them to perform superhuman/supernatural feats. Right now, we find a group of Tenbi Academy students, two males and eight females, assembled together within what's known as the 'Security Club'. They are members of Maken-Ki, basically the student council, though it is one part of the organization, whose duties are the policing the school and preventing the abuse of the students special abilities, namely the use of Maken.

Sitting behind a simple wooden desk, Furan Takai, the student council president, thus the head of Maken-Ki, asks, with a serious tone, "How is the situation?"

In front of Furan, Haruko Amaya, the vice-president of the student council and head of the Security Committee, another 'division' of Maken-Ki, responds, "It isn't good, president. There is fear and worry on everyone's faces. They are one incident away from going into full-on panic."

One of the two male students in the room, Kengo Usui, a member of the Security Committee, states, plainly, "Can you really blame them? Three of our fellow student just dropping dead like that would send any school into a panic!"

The other male student in the room, Takeru Ooyama, another member of the Security Committee and childhood friend of Haruko, retorts, with a nod, "No joke! And if it is bad here, imagine what it is for Tokyo! They are already in bad straight since it has been barely a month since the rampage of that monster, Ragnarök."

Haruko says, with a nod, "Yeah…"

Another student, Kodama Himegami, another member of the Security Committee, says, bluntly, "No kidding. They barely started rebuilding after that brunt rampaged from Hawaii all the way to Japan. But it shouldn't be too surprising that this kind of crap is happening. Ever since Sailor Celestial died to blow that demon to pieces, things have been going down the toilet."

There is a solemn atmosphere caused by Kodama's words causing another member of Maken-Ki, Kimi Sato, the secretary of the student council, to say, solemnly, "I couldn't believe it when we heard it happen."

Another member of Maken-Ki, Azuki Shinatsu, a member of the Magical Enforcement Committee, the third 'division' of Maken-Ki, says, with a nod of her head, "No joke! I mean, she was the most kickass of the Sailor Scouts despite being one the newer of those awesome gals! She was really powerful!"

Kodama says, bluntly, "If you remember, from what we heard, that thing nearly slaughtered the other Sailor Scouts and the only reason that she was able to take it down was with Sailor Moon's help since she and Sailor Moon were the most powerful of the Sailor Scouts at that time, which also the other reason that they weren't steamrolled like their fellow Scouts during the battle, based on what we heard." Kodama says, plainly, "Though it doesn't seem like she is as dead as the world thought that she was…if any of those girls are her which I seriously doubt."

Standing by and behind Furan, Yuuka Amato, the student council treasurer, asks, curiously, "Why do you think that?"

Kodama retorts, "The armored one is obviously someone in an armored suit and Sailor C admitted herself that she is a clone of the real Sailor Celestial."

Takeru says, amazed, "I was shocked to hear that. I thought that cloning was something in anime, manga, or other forms of science fiction stuff."

Furan asks, curiously, "But what about the other two?"

Another member of Maken-Ki, Chacha Akaza, a member of the Security Committee and a foreign student, says, "You know, this really seems familiar to me."

Kimi says, plainly, "This is similar to what happened to the American manga superhero, Superman, when he was killed by that monster, Doomsday, Chacha."

Chacha says, with a grin, "Oh, yeah! There were four guys that tried to replace him. An 'armored guy', a teenage clone of him, one emo-guy with that visor and energy beams from his hands, and a cyborg guy!"

Kimi says, "And the 'Cyborg Superman' was actually a bad guy. He created a clone body of Superman and pretended to be Superman to ruin his good name as well as turn Earth into a weapon known as 'War world'."

Chacha says, with a nod, "That's right! And what's happening with these gals seems awfully similar!"

Kimi says, nodding her head, "Very similar including the fact that it seems like the 'Eradicator' and cyborg versions of Sailor Celestial were together during that 'incident' where that town was destroyed."

Chacha says, "Maybe the cyborg 'doppelganger' of Sailor Celestial is actually a bad guy…gal and she is mastermind of what's happening with Real Account!"

Furan says, with a plain tone, "We can't assume anything, Chacha, especially based on the similarities that the situation in Tokyo from an American manga. There is already enough chaos from the death of our members of our student body because of this latest insanity happening in Tokyo. As members of Maken-Ki, it is our duty to maintain order and peace in Tenbi Academy especially in a crisis such as this!"

Takeru asks, curiously, "But what do we do now?" Before anything else could be said or done, the door to the room swings open with a loud 'bang' in which everyone turns to the source to see a short young teenage female with neck-length or shoulder-length light brown hair that is tied in two small high pigtails with two yellow Crisscross hairclips on the right side, dark brown eyes, and wearing a female Tenbi Academy uniform runs into the room.

The young lady yells out, excitedly, "Everyone!"

Furan tells the young lady, in a stern tone, "Inaho, where have you been? This is an important meeting! We are in a crisis right now! As a member of Maken-Ki, you need to take your duties seriously!"

The young lady, Inaho Kushiya, responds, "Sorry!" Inaho then goes over to Takeru, wraps herself around one of his arms, much to the annoyance of Haruko, and she yells out, excitedly, "But I have a reason! I just found out that 'Real Account Incident' in Tokyo just ended!"

There are surprised looks from many of the Maken-Ki group causing Furan to ask, "Are you sure?"

Inaho replies, nodding her head, "Yep! They caught one of the masterminds too! It turns out that the president of Real Account was one of the masterminds with that weirdo Marble!"

There are stunned looks from Inaho's fellow students in which Kengo says, "I knew it! This was a massive conspiracy!"

Takeru asks Inaho, "What did you hear Inaho?"

Inaho says, with a smile, "The news is all abuzz, Takeru! The president and his secretary have been taken into police custody, but that weirdo Marble hasn't been caught yet! He managed to escape the Sailor Scouts, who were the ones to capture the president of Real Account and his secretary."

Haruko asks, curiously, "The Sailor Scouts captured them?"

Inaho says, with a nod, "Yep! That's because that 'cyborg faker' of Sailor Celestial was the last of the masterminds! She help them cause all that bad stuff!"

Chacha says, excitedly, "Ha! Kimi and I knew it! She is a bad guy!"

Kimi nods her head in agreement with Chacha causing Haruko to ask Inaho, "Wait! You said 'was'? You mean…?"

Inaho says, with a nod, "They said on the news that cyborg faker was busted by the Sailor Scouts and to put in the words of Sailor Moon: She's moon dust!"

Azuki says, excitedly, "Oh, yeah! I'm not surprised! They're the Sailor Scouts after all!"

Inaho says, excitedly, "But that's not the most amazing part! The one that took down cyborg faker was none other than Sailor Celestial herself!"

Furan tells Inaho, "Inaho, there are four people reported to be Sailor Celestial including the cyborg one…"

Inaho then says, interrupting, "Not anymore! A fifth one appeared, and she has been confirmed by the other Sailor Scouts and even her own brother as the REAL Sailor Celestial! She's back!"

There are gasps of shock from the Maken-Ki group causing Kengo to shout out, flabbergasted, "No way!"

Furan says, stunned, "Impossible! She…She's dead! She died over a month ago! It was confirmed that she was dead! People just don't come back from the dead like in anime and manga!"

Inaho says, "Well, maybe you can see for yourself since she and the other Sailor Scouts are here at the school."

The rest of the Maken-Ki blink their eyes in silence for a few seconds before they scream out in unison, shocked, "WHAT?!"

Furan screams out at Inaho, stunned, "Why did you say that before? That's important information!" Takeru and Haruko glance at each other until everyone in the room hears commotion outside.

Kimi asks, "What's that?"

Kodama says, plainly, "Maybe we should go and find out." Immediately, the group file out of the room and into the hallways of the school where they find Gen 'escorting' none other than all of the Sailor Scouts, including none other than the recently revived ARK VALKYRIE Sailor Celestial, with many of the other students of Tenbi Academy, male and female, assembled in the hallways with the students looking at our heroines, especially Sailor Celestial herself, where they are talking to themselves with looks of amazement on their faces.

Sailor Celestial looks around a bit nervously causing her to ask, in a bit of a nervous tone, "Everyone is looking at me."

Sailor Venus tells Sailor Celestial, "That's not surprising since you basically…came back from the dead!"

Sailor Uranus says, plainly, "For once, I agree with Venus, Celestial. Ragnarök and its 'aftermath' was a worldwide event. Your 'sacrifice' in saving the entire world immortalized your name, both of them, in the worldwide public consciousness. When your four 'doppelgangers' came onto the scene, the whole world became enthralled at the question: 'Who is the real Sailor Celestial?' So, all of them seeing the ONE AND ONLY REAL Sailor Celestial, alive and well, right here, is going to 'turn some heads'."

Sailor Celestial says, with a solemn tone, "Yeah, you have a point."

Gen says, with a smirk, "Yeah, no joke. It isn't every day that a big international heroine that died a heroic death just come back from the dead like nothing ever happened." Sailor Celestial gives a nervous smile as she and the other Sailor Scouts follow Gen until they notice the members of Maken-Ki in front of them where Sailor Celestial takes notice of Takeru and Haruko.

Sailor Celestial says, "Oh, Takeru-san! Haruko-san!"

There are looks of surprise from the members of Maken-Ki where they focus on Takeru and Haruko causing Kengo to ask, "Dude, how does she know the two of you?"

Just then a familiar female voice says, "That's because she came here just after she revived." Everyone looks towards the source of the voice to see a young woman walking towards them.

This young woman with long bright blue-violet hair, violet eyes, and her attire consists of is a large white lab coat of a school nurse in which, under the lab coat, she is wearing pink strapless top, which is openly laced down the middle, showing a good portion of her massive cleavage, though not in an indecent manner, black short skirt, and a pair of white high-heeled shoes.

Sailor Venus thinks in her mind, amazed, "Whoa! She is stacked! Big time! She can rival, if not exceed everyone, even Suguha!"

Sailor Celestial tells the young woman, "It is good to see you again, Aki-san."

The young woman, who is the school nurse of Tenbi Academy, Aki Nijou, responds, with a nod, "It is good to see you, again, Kirigaya-san." Sailor Celestial flinches from Aki's words causing her to say, with a smile, "You do remember that your 'secret identity' was revealed on the day that you 'fell' beating that monster and saving the planet, right? You do remember that it is common knowledge these days."

Sailor Celestial replies, a bit nervously, "I'm still not use to it, Aki-san. You know what happens when heroes have their identities 'public' in anime and manga, right? This may be real-life, but it may not be a good thing to have your 'double life' known."

Aki says, with a nod, "Even though I'm not a superhero myself, I feel that's an honest concern."

Sailor Moon asks Sailor Celestial, curiously, "Are these the people that helped you after you revived?"

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, "That's right." Sailor Celestial says, pointing to Aki, "This is Aki Nijou, the school nurse around here."

Aki responds, with a smile, "It is nice to meet you, everyone."

Kango asks, amazed, "Aki-sensei, you met her?"

Aki responds, with a nod, "Yes. Takeru-kun and Haruko brought her in after they found her 'trespassing' on school grounds shortly after she was revived."

There are looks of shock in which Kango asks Takeru, "Dude, you found Sailor Celestial on the school grounds and didn't tell us?"

Takeru says, nervously, "Well…"

Haruko says, plainly, "We agreed with Aki-sensei and Principal Minori that she should be kept secret from the school. Not only she was weak, but she also lost her memories."

Inaho asks, curiously, "Lost her memories?"

Aki says, looking at Sailor Celestial, "Yes, she had no idea on who she was until seeing recent events managed to 'jog' her memory."

Kodama says, with a plain tone, "Not surprising since she came back from being a corpse."

Sailor Celestial and the Sailor Scouts flinch from that causing a few, namely like Sailor Uranus, to glare at Kodama causing Kango to ask, nervously, "Really? In front of them?"

Takeru says, looking at Sailor Celestial, "Anyway, it looks like you've regained your powers."

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, "Yep, Takeru-san. I want to thank you, Haruko-san, Aki-san, and Minori-san while I was recovering when I was…restored after Sailor Moon's and my battle with Ragnarök."

Aki says, with a warm smile, "It was no problem at all. We, along with the whole world most likely, are glad that you have returned."

Inaho yells out, excitedly, "Hey! Hey! Sailor Celestial-dono! The news said that you managed to capture one of the masterminds of Real Account! Did you?"

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nod, "Yep!"

Haruko asks, "Was this person the president of Real Account like the news said?"

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, "That's correct. The president of Real Account worked in collaboration with the one known as Marble to facility this travesty along with one other."

Chacha yells out, "Oh, was it that 'cyborg doppelganger' to Sailor Celestial?"

Sailor Celestial says, with a sigh, "Yes. Yes, she was the last mastermind of this horror."

There are gasps of shock causing Chacha says, excitedly, "Yes, I knew it! We were right, Kimi!"

Haruko asks Sailor Celestial, "Who was she?"

Sailor Celestial, after a second, responds, "An enemy obsessed with revenge against me and Sailor Moon. Her name is Yuuko and she…is a long story. She created a cloned version of me for her to inhabit to smear my good name as part of her plans for revenge against me through it goes deeper than that."

Sailor Venus says, with a grin, "But don't worry! Our revived gal took care of business and cut her to ribbons as well as ram her sword right through her black heart!"

Chacha says, excitedly, "Ooh, awesome!"

Sailor Celestial says, "However, Marble managed to get away, but he won't escape justice. You can be sure on that. It won't be like…him."

Haruko says, with a nod, "We know that Kiri-I mean Sailor Celestial-dono. We know that our classmates will have justice."

The Sailor Scouts, minus Sailor Celestial, give looks of confusion causing Sailor Uranus ask, curiously, "What do you mean?"

Furan says, plainly, "Three of our fellow students, here, at Tenbi Academy, are victims of the Real Account incident."

There are gasps of shock causing Sailor Moon to ask, horrified, "You mean…?"

Plenty in the Maken-Ki group are solemn causing Takeru to say, solemnly, "Yeah, they're dead. They were 'friended' to one of the early victims and when those people died…"

Sailor Uranus says, interrupting and finishing for Takeru, "They died with them."

Aki says, solemnly, "Yes. We tried to figure out how this happened, but we found nothing at all. All we could do is send their bodies back to their families for proper funeral rites."

Sailor Moon says, solemnly, "I-I'm so sorry."

Chacha asks, curiously, "What for?"

Inaho says, with a grin, "If anything, we should be thanking you for taking care of those jerks!"

Furan asks Sailor Celestial, "So, Sailor Celestial-dono, why are you here? I don't think that you would be here to tell us that this horror is over. So, what's happening?"

Gen responds, motioning to Sailor Celestial, "We're off to figure out the mystery of our lady's resurrection. As you well know, people just don't come back from the dead like nothing happened."

Haruko asks Sailor Celestial, "Have you figured out how you were revived?"

Sailor Celestial replies, a bit nervously, "I have a general idea, but to be honest, I'm still wrapping my head around this." Sailor Celestial says, looking at the other Sailor Scouts, especially Sailor Moon, "And to be also honest, my friends and family are still…recovering from all of this."

Kengo says, with a nod, "I'll bet."

Sailor Celestial tells Haruko, Takeru, and Aki, "Anyway, I really want to thank you for your aid in my recovery after I was…restored and giving me the chance to get back to the others to stop that madness."

Aki says, with a warm smile, "It was no problem at all. We're just glad that we helped."

Takeru says, with a nod, "Yeah!"

Sailor Celestial says, with a solemn tone, "I'm just sorry that I didn't get back in time to save your classmates."

Haruko says, with a kind smile, "You did your best and you weren't 'up to snuff' when Takeru-kun and I found you. We're just glad that you were able to stop this madness and made sure that no more lives are lost."

Sailor Celestial says, with a solemn tone, "Personally, to me, it wasn't enough."

Aki says, with a warm smile, "We can only do what we can. That's all that we can do."

Sailor Celestial tells Aki, with a nod, "Thank you, Aki-san."

Sailor Uranus says, plainly, "We should get going."

Sailor Pluto tells Gen, "Gen-san, please lead the way."

Gen says, with a nod, "Right-o. Follow me, everyone." Gen then heads off with the Sailor Scouts following him, but with plenty of them waving goodbye to Takeru and Haruko as they head out. As Gen and the Sailor Scouts come out of sight, the students start to talk among themselves in which Takeru and Haruko are being looked at by the rest of the Maken-Ki members.

Kengo says, seriously, "Dude, you kept her from us!"

Takeru says, with a bit of a nervous tone, "Like Haruko said, she had lost her memories."

Haruko says, with a plain tone, "One evening on patrol, she came out of seemly nowhere and collapsed. We were shocked, so, Takeru-kun and I brought her to Aki-sensei."

Aki then says, plainly, "I was quite shocked to see her and after a DNA test, we did confirm that she was, in fact, Suguha Kirigaya. Minori and Gen were informed about this, but we couldn't be certain about her since there were four other people being 'declared' as her 'reborn' including one of them saying that she was a clone of her."

Kodama says, with a plain tone, "That's for sure. Plus, based on what you said, she had lost her memories."

Aki says, with a nod, "That's right. She had no idea on who she was. Gen used Keronbo on her…"

Furan asks, curiously, "Keronbo? Doesn't that determine what Element a student has and what Maken can match them? Why use that?"

Aki says, a bit nervously, "Gen had a theory, but it may have been a poor idea to use Keronbo."

Takeru says, with a nod, "Considering that it nearly became scrap metal after trying to read her."

The other members of Maken-Ki, minus Haruko, look at Takeru causing Inaho to ask, "You mean that it could make a read on her?"

Takeru says, plainly, "No, I mean, Suguha-dono nearly BLEW UP Keronbo with her power. When Haruko and I saw Keronbo, it was a wreck and Gen had to rebuild it from scratch with only its personality intact." Haruko nods her head in agreement causing the other members of Maken-Ki.

Aki says, with a nervous smile, "Gen regretted that decision, but it did reveal that Suguha-dono was in fact the 'real deal' due to the fact that her sheer power within her overload Keronbo in which Gen said that only a Sailor Scout could have the ability to overload Keronbo."

Furan says, with a nod of understanding, "And there is only one Sailor Scout that looks like the person that she is: Suguha Kirigaya AKA Sailor Celestial."

Haruko says, plainly, "With her memories gone and with the chaos of her 'doppelgangers' causing chaos on the world trying to find who the real Sailor Celestial is, we thought that it was best that we keep her a secret until she regained her memories especially with the 'Real Account' mess going on."

Takeru says, plainly, "However, it was that brought back her memories. Soon enough, we found her trying to sneak out to get back to Tokyo though she couldn't use her powers yet."

Kimi asks, curiously, "Why not?"

Furan asks, curiously, "Since she regained her memories, shouldn't she be able to access her powers?"

Haruko says, with a plain tone, "She told us that while she can 'feel' her powers, something or someone put a 'seal' on her powers. Her powers weren't gone, but she couldn't access her powers at all."

Chacha asks, curiously, "Someone sealed her powers?"

Aki says, with a nod, "That's what she told us. She also said that she can only feel a 'tug' on her powers, too. That something or someone was 'tapping' into her powers for their own purposes…for good or for ill. She wasn't sure, but she had a 'bad feeling'."

Takeru says, with a plain tone, "But despite that, being the badass superheroine that she was, she planned to get back home despite having no powers."

Azuki says, with a grin, "What did you expect? She is a frigging superheroine. It is what they do. Powers or no powers, they kick butt!"

Haruko says, with a plain tone, "We argued about going back in her current condition. Physically, she was just fine, but she had no powers and with the chaos caused by her 'duplicates', it is quite obvious that it could cause some problems."

Kodama states, bluntly, "Obviously."

Kengo tells Takeru, putting Takeru in a headlock, "Dude, I'm so jealous! You were with a fragging superheroine and a hot one…though all of the Sailor Scouts are hot!"

Takeru says, with a grunt, "It…It wasn't like I was 'hanging out' with her!"

Chacha says, with a grin, "So, Kimi and I were right! That 'cyborg girl' was a bad guy!"

Furan tells Chacha, a bit nervously, "Well, you were right, but that similar situation in that American superhero manga is fiction! Real life and fiction are two different things!"

Yuuka says, with a nod, "True, Furan-chan. However, haven't there been situations where there were events that were so beyond belief that they exceeded even what happened in anime and manga? Sometimes 'real-life' can be more unbelievable than fiction."

Furan responds, a bit nervously, "While that's true…"

Just then another female voice shouts out, "Everyone!" Everyone looks towards the source of the voice to see a rather petite teenage girl with short pink hair that reaches to her neck and green eyes wearing a Tenbi Academy female uniform running up to everyone.

Furan asks, "Uruchi!" When the young teenage girl gets to the Maken-Ki group, she glares at Takeru causing him to sigh.

Haruko asks the young girl, "What's wrong, Uruchi?"

The young pink-haired girl, Uruchi Minaya, the final member of Maken-Ki via being part of the Magical Security Committee, responds, "Yes, Haruko-chan!" Uruchi looks around causing her to ask, "Are the Sailor Scouts still here?"

Aki responds, "No, they left with Gen to a location where they can get an explanation on how Suguha-san was…revived."

Uruchi asks, shocked, "Wait! What? So, it's true?"

Furan responds, sternly, "Yes, it is true. Sailor Celestial is back from the dead and she wasn't one of those four 'imposters' that have been talked about for the past few weeks! So, the real question is: Why do you need to see the Sailor Scouts?"

Uruchi says, nervously, "Well, Furan-sempai, it seems like someone just exposed Sailor Moon's identity and also revealed the fact that she is the niece of the mastermind of Sword Art Online: Akihiko Kayaba."

There are gasps of shock and the other members of Maken-Ki, minus Aki, respond in unison, flabbergasted, "WHAT?!"

Furan asks Uruchi, seriously, "Are you sure about this?"

Uruchi says, with a nod, "It is all over the net and all over the news."

Haruko says, "You need to show us!"

Uruchi says, with a nod, "Of course, Haruko-sempai!" Immediately, the Maken-Ki group race off along with Aki and, along the way, Takeru and Haruko share a look as both of them get a 'bad feeling' about this.

(Elsewhere in the school; on the meanwhile)

Somewhere else within Tenbi Academy, there is a young lady of late teenage years with mid-waist long black hair, deep green eyes, and wearing the classic Tenbi Academy female uniform is looking angrily at displays on a computer screen.

She then says, closing her eyes, "Big brother…Kaa-san…" Tears start to stream from her eyes and her eyes shoot open where a look of pure rage appears on her expression causing her to say, deep anger laced in her voice, "She doesn't deserve to be called a hero…after what her family…did to mine…my brother gone…Kaa-san…disgraced…she is going to pay…she must pay…" The young woman then looks nearby where there is a small rainbow 'crystal', and that strange 'crystal' starts to glow as she reaches out for it.

(Later on that day)

Gen and the Sailor Scouts go through the main gate of the main facility of Tenbi Academy as they return from their expedition to get a deeper explanation on Sailor Celestial's resurrection.

Gen says, with a plain tone, "That was a shame."

Sailor Galaxy says, with a plain tone, "I think that it may have been a good thing that the fortress was destroyed, and the pool is deeply entrapped in the remains."

Sailor Uranus says, with a nod, "I agree. With what the pool was now, due to circumstances that it helped revive Celestial, it's 'new nature' could have proven helpful to people, but it also could have caused all sorts of problems with the 'lure' that it would have if it were found out."

Sailor Mercury says, with a plain tone, "True. But it could have benefited people and advanced medical science. It could have cured all sorts of diseases and extended lifespans."

Sailor Jupiter says, "Yeah, but you remember what happens in all sorts of anime, manga, and other fiction when those kind of things are found? It leads to all sorts of trouble with 'certain types of people' wanting to horde for their own selfish uses."

Sailor Sun says, with a nod, "While this is real-life and not fiction, I have to agree with Jupiter."

Sailor Celestial says, nodding her head in agreement, "Same here. I don't want the thing that gave me a second chance at life causing more death and pain than has already been made." Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, a bit annoyed, "But it is also a major piss off that same asshole that caused SAO was the reason that I got that second chance despite that fortress being created by him way back in the Silver Millennium and not this modern-day time."

Sailor Nebula asks Sailor Mercury, "You did get some samples, didn't you?"

Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, "Yes, I did. However, I doubt that I can do really anything about them other than learn about the pool that was used to revive Celestial and its properties."

Sailor Uranus says, with a plain tone, "Doesn't mean that you can keep your guard down, Mercury. There are 'forces' that may want that to attempt to replicate it somehow."

Sailor Pluto says, nodding her head, "That's a good point."

Sailor Jupiter says, nodding her head in agreement, "Yeah. You had better keep that stuff safe, Mercury. I don't want anyone getting that and possibly starting a 'Resident Evil situation' if you know what I mean."

Sailor Mars asks, plainly, "Really?"

Sailor Jupiter responds, "Hey, there are all sorts of crazies out there, so, who knows?"

Sailor Venus says, with a nod, "Jupiter has a point."

Sailor Nebula says, with a solemn tone, "Unfortunately, Jupiter may have a point. There have been plenty of enemies that we had to face whose plans didn't make sense."

Sailor Uranus says, plainly, "Nebula has a point."

Sailor Celestial says, plainly, "I'm sure that we will be able to keep the samples that Mercury was able to get safe, everyone."

Sailor Uranus thinks in her mind, looking at Sailor Celestial, "Yeah, like we have a good record of keeping all that's precious to us safe, Celestial."

The group continues on until they hear a familiar female voice shout out, "Hey!" Everyone looks to the source to find Minori, Aki, and the members of Maken-Ki running over to them.

Gen asks Minori, "What's up?"

Minori says, with a nervous expression, "There is a bit of a situation. We're just fine. It is just…"

Furan says, with a plain tone, "It involves the Sailor Scouts."

The Sailor Scouts gain confused looks causing Sailor Galaxy to ask, curiously, "Us?"

Inaho says, with a nervous smile, "We have found out something that you need to know about."

Plenty of the Scouts get a 'bad feeling' causing Sailor Mars to ask, in a cautious curious tone, "And what do we need to know?"

Most of the Maken-Ki group look at each other with Minori giving a nervous look, but before they could say anything, Chacha shouts out, excitedly, "Actually, we want to know if it is true that Sailor Moon is the niece of mastermind of Sword Art Online, Akihiko Kayaba!" There are gasps and looks of shock from our Sailor Scouts with Furan basically face-palming herself in exasperation, but, as quick as lightning, Chacha yelps as she is grabbed by the collar by Sailor Uranus, who is aiming her Space Sword at her.

Sailor Uranus shouts out, in an angered tone, "How did you get that information? Talk right now!"

Chacha screams out in terror in which Kimi, coming out of her stupor, yells out, fearfully, "Chacha!"

Minori yells out, strongly, "Hey, I don't care you are a Sailor Scout! Let her go…!" Minori gets into a defensive stance, but Sailor Uranus gives Minori such a 'death glare' that even causes the brave and bold principal of Tenbi Academy to hesitate and flinch.

Haruko yells out, fearfully, "Wait! Wait! We found out through the internet! Someone released the information through social media!"

Takeru shouts out, in a fearful tone while adding to Haruko's statements, "That's right! It also on the news too!"

There are looks of shock and a bit of horror on the faces of the Sailor Scouts, especially Sailor Moon, in which Sailor Jupiter tells Sailor Uranus, "Hey, Uranus, put her down!"

Sailor Nebula tells Sailor Uranus, with a nod, "Yes, Uranus! Put her down now!" A bit reluctantly, a part of her not believing on what was just told, Sailor Uranus puts Chacha down on the ground causing her to stumble back to Kimi, who looks at Chacha in concern.

But then another female voice screams out, "Tsukino!" Just then air starts to 'spark' as crackles of electric energy and everyone looks to the source to see the black-haired female Tenbi Academy student looming with a look of pure rage on her expression with a deadly glare focused straight on Sailor Moon herself. Immediately, Sailor Mars and Sailor Uranus, who, with Sailor Celestial, can feel her MASSIVE KI, position themselves in front of Sailor Moon.

Furan shouts out, surprised, "Kirin-san?"

Haruko asks, confused, "Kirin-san, what are you doing here?"

Kodama says, bluntly, "She isn't here to say 'hello'."

The black-haired female student, Kirin, glares at Sailor Moon, menacingly, causing Sailor Venus to whisper, nervously, "I don't like her look."

Sailor Saturn whispers, nodding her head in agreement, "So do I."

Kirin yells out at Sailor Moon, rage in her voice, "Tsukino, you fucking bitch! It is finally time that you and your family pay for what you did to my family!" There are looks of shock causing Kirin to say, "That's right! I know who you are! The whole world knows who you are! You are the so-called 'champion of love and justice' that's a fucking fake since the world knows that you are a member of Kayaba's family!"

The Sailor Scouts give flabbergasted expressions causing Sailor Celestial to think in her mind, nervously, "Well, shit."

Minori asks Kirin, "Hey, girl, what's with the attitude?"

Kirin yells out, strongly, "Stay out of this, Minori-sensei! This is between Tsukino and me! It's finally time that she pay for all the lives ruined by her family with her blood!"

Sailor Moon asks, "What did my family do to you?"

Yuuka then asks, "Oh, dear! Wasn't Kirin's mother a part of Argus and her younger brother a victim of SAO?"

The Sailor Scouts look at Yuuka in surprise causing Furan to say, gaining a shocked look of realization, "Oh no, you're right!"

Kirin shouts out, pure rage in her voice, "That's right!" When everyone looks at her, she says, with fury-filled eyes and fury-filled tone, "My mother was a top level programmer in Argus and as such, she was involved in SAO. My younger brother, Raikou, was an SAO beta tester and when he joined the 'official game'…he was trapped in there! After that, my family feel apart! My mother lost her job and her respect! She was 'branded' by SAO and couldn't get a job as well as called a 'murderer' and other horrible names! And then my brother died in SAO! We didn't even get a chance to say goodbye! My mother feel to pieces and after losing my little brother and mother PERMANENTLY bedridden from grief and despair, the only thing that kept my father going was his job!" Kirin says, pointing at Sailor Moon, "You! YOU AND YOUR FUCKING FAMILY ARE TO BLAME FOR THIS!"

Sailor Moon flinches from Kirin and her 'death glare' and tries to respond, but Sailor Jupiter shouts out, sternly, "Hey, bitch, if you truly know about Sailor Moon, then you should know that she was trapped in SAO too! She wasn't just twiddling her thumbs in there! She was fighting for not just her life, but for everyone's life! While she was trapped in SAO, she went out of her way to do her best to try to save everyone…!"

Kirin roars out, interrupting with pure rage in her voice, "Then that fucking proves that she is a complete failure and fake as a hero! If she did everything possible to save those trapped in SAO with her, then WHY IS MY BROTHER DEAD?! 'Champion of love and justice', my ass! She is a fake and a failure! My family was destroyed! My brother is dead, and my mother was wrongly disgraced like everyone in Argus, thanks to HIM! My dad had to use his 'connections' to get mom and I out of Tokyo and make sure that no one would find us! And…IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! NOW, IT IS TIME TO PAY!" Kirin then 'summons' a strange hammer as a powerful electrical aura surrounds her in which she slams the hammer into the ground causing such a massive shockwave that the whole of Tenbi Academy shakes violently while causing the ground in front of her all the way past our heroes and heroines to collapse into piles of rubble in which our heroines combined with the members of Tenbi Academy to fall to the ground, hard! However, all of them are mainly unharmed, especially our Sailor Scouts.

Kengo asks, shocked, "What the fuck?!"

Haruko asks, stunned, "Was that Kirin-san's Maken?"

Furan says, stunned, "It can't be! Her Maken and her abilities are no way THAT powerful!"

Kodama says, bluntly, "Well, it is obvious that she has a MAJOR 'power-up'!" The Sailor Scouts start to get to their feet, but with a loud roar of pure rage, Kirin 'shoots' forward, causing a sound like a crack of thunder as she does, at incredible speeds where she rams into Sailor Moon where the two of them go through a building behind Sailor Moon in which they crash down where Sailor Moon, tackled by Kirin, skids across the ground for several miles, leaving a DEEP trench in the ground! When they finally stop skidding through the ground, Sailor Moon and Kirin are in the end of the deep trench with Sailor Moon having her back on the ground with Kirin on top of her where Kirin starts to lash out by punching Sailor Moon in the face!

Kirin screams out, pure fury in her voice, "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! YOU AND YOUR WRETCHED FAMILY! THE BLOOD OF MY BROTHER AND THE PAIN OF MY FAMILY IS ON YOUR SHOULDER, YOU FUCKING FAKE!" Sailor Moon puts her armored arms up to defend herself from Kirin's attack, however, it proves unnecessary, since Sailor Celestial appears, seemly out of nowhere, and grabs Kirin's arm.

Sailor Celestial shouts out, strongly, "Back off, bitch!" Sailor Celestial then throws Kirin off Sailor Moon with such incredible strength that she rockets through an undamaged portion of the building that Kirin and Sailor Moon rammed through and continues on until she slams into another building with a massive 'crash' where Kirin leaves a good sized hole where she hit. Sailor Celestial gives a shocked look causing her to say, nervously, "W-Whoa! I didn't mean to do that!" Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, looking at the hand that she used to grab and throw Kirin, "Well, shit! I didn't mean to throw her THAT hard! My strength has increased EXTREMELY! I need to be more careful!" But then Kirin's scream of pure fury is heard and there is a massive 'explosion' of electrical power, destroying a huge portion of the building that she was thrown into, and out of the smoke and dust, Kirin, surrounded by a powerful 'electrical aura' stomps out in front of the Sailor Scouts and members of Tenbi Academy.

Minori shouts out, sternly, "Okay, girl, you need to calm down and back off, right now! This is your only warning!"

Kirin yells out in reply, pure fury in her voice, "NO, YOU BACK OFF, MINORI-SENSEI! OR I PROMISE THAT YOU WILL REGET IT!"

Furan shouts out, sternly, "How dare you talk to Minori-sensei in such a fashion? You are making a disgrace of this school with your actions! You may have suffered because SAO, but plenty of others also have too! You…!"

Kirin screams out, enraged, "SHUT IT, FOUR-EYES! IN FACT, LET ME DO IT FOR YOU!" With a roar of power, Kirin sends a stream of electrical power into the sky causes the skies to darken and fill with massive storm clouds where they start to rain lightning down on the Sailor Scouts, minus Moon and Celestial, and the Tenbi Academy group in which Sailor Saturn, thinking and moving fast, creates a shield to protect them from the assault of lightning bolts.

Sailor Celestial, upon seeing this, shouts out, seriously, "Okay, that's it! My hesitation just went out the window! This girl needs to be taken down now!" Kirin gives an almost animalistic version of a roar of fury as she 'transforms' into a lightning bolt and rockets at Sailor Moon and Sailor Celestial at the fastest speeds that lightning bolt can travel at, but despite moving at a third of the speed of light, Sailor Celestial, moving at her own incredible speeds, bashes Kirin in the head just inches from her causing her to slam into the ground with terrific force that sends dirt, dust, and debris high into the air in which, when it clears, Kirin is, literally, face-first in the ground just in front of Sailor Celestial. Sailor Celestial roars out, strongly, "Did that knock some sense into your brain, girl?!" The only reply was a powerful discharge of electric power from Kirin that sends Sailor Celestial flying back a bit, but she manages to land on the ground on her feet, however, she stumble back due to the attack stunning her for a brief moment.

Sailor Moon, upon seeing this, looks at Sailor Celestial and yells out, concerned, "Celestial!" But then Sailor Moon gasps out as Kirin grabs Sailor Moon by her neck, and she lifts Sailor Moon into the air in which Sailor Moon sees the pure fury in the eyes of Kirin, whose form is giving off 'electrical sparks'.

Kirin roars out, fury engrained in her voice, "DIE!" Sailor Moon then screams out in agony and pain as millions to billions of volts of electrical energy, enough to vaporize a regular human being, are pumped into her.

Sailor Celestial roars out, strongly, "Put her down now!" Before Kirin could react, Sailor Celestial zips over to Kirin and rams her armored right fist into Kirin's gut with the sheer power of the attack, literally, shattering the ground around the three of them causing Kirin's expression to become one of pure pain where she stops her attack on Sailor Moon as well as releasing her from her grip. As Sailor Moon collapses to the ground, Kirin holds her waist where Sailor Celestial punched her causing her to stumble backwards several steps before glaring at Sailor Celestial, who, herself, is glaring at Kirin with a deadly serious expression.

Kirin yells out, "You want to waste your second life for this bitch? THEN YOU CAN DIE WITH HER AND RETURN TO THE GRAVE!" Kirin's form charges with electrical power and soon after, Kirin and Sailor Celestial starts to grapple with each other in which when they grab each other's hands, Kirin tries to pump electrical energy into Sailor Celestial, but Sailor Celestial doesn't even flinch.

Sailor Celestial asks, in a mocking tone, "Is that supposed to hurt?" Kirin gives a look of surprise, but she then roars out as she 'blasts' Sailor Celestial with more electrical power, however, it is the same result, much to Kirin's shock and surprise. Sailor Celestial says, with a sly smirk, "My turn!" Kirin then yells out in pain as Sailor Celestial starts to crush her hands causing her to start to lean backwards, but then Kirin opens her mouth in which electrical energy starts to gather in front of her mouth. Sailor Celestial gives a flabbergasted look of surprise, let's go of Kirin's hands, leaps several feet away from Kirin, and Sailor Celestial then crosses her armored arms in front of her as Kirin fires a beam of electrical energy from her mouth where it hits Sailor Celestial's crossed armored arms causing her to get sent back about a dozen yards, but she is completely unharmed. After the attack ends, Sailor Celestial uncrosses her arms where she shouts out, stunned, "What the heck?!" Kirin roars out as she prepares to attack, but she then yelps as she gets hit all over her body causing her to collapse in a heap where we see Sailor Galaxy, her Byakugan active, standing over her.

Sailor Celestial says, with a smile, "Nice!"

Sailor Galaxy says, with a nod, "Thank you, Celestial."

Sailor Celestial says, "I'm amazed that you can use your Gentle Fist like that!"

Sailor Galaxy says, with a plain tone, "Gentle Fist is the same as using pressure points, so, it was easy to adapt my Gentle Fist to…" However, Sailor Galaxy is interrupted as Kirin yells out in anger as her form 'sparks' with electrical power where she starts to get to her feet causing Sailor Galaxy to leap away from her a good distance. Kirin then brings out the same hammer as before where she is enveloped in a bright flash, forcing Celestial, Galaxy, and Moon to cover their eyes, and when they are able to open their eyes, they find that Kirin is now wearing an outfit similar to Jane Foster wore as Thor in Marvel Comic universe.

Sailor Celestial asks, with a deadpan tone, "Really? Does the American manga company, Marvel, know about this?" Kirin just replies by roaring out in anger and unleashing an electrical discharge that causes another massive storm that rains down lightning all over Tenbi Academy.

Sailor Galaxy says, worriedly, "If things continue, the school and its students will be in the crossfire!"

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod of agreement, "We need to get her out of here!"

Sailor Moon says, "I'll take care of that!" Before Sailor Galaxy and Sailor Celestial could say or do anything, Sailor Moon shouts out, firmly, "You want me? Come and get me!" Sailor Moon takes off at high speed into the distance.

Kirin shouts out, fury in her tone, "Get back here!" Kirin, like Thunder God Avenger of the Marvel universe, flings her hammer forward and she rockets into the skies, much to the shock of Sailor Galaxy.

Sailor Galaxy asks, surprised, "She flies?"

Sailor Celestial says, with a deadpan tone, "Of course she does." Soon after, the rest of the Sailor Scouts join up with Galaxy and Celestial.

Sailor Jupiter says, "We need to get after them!"

Sailor Celestial shakes her head, and she says, seriously, "We also need to help Tenbi Academy and its students too! I'm using my authority as a Moon Princess and daughter of Queen Serenity to order all Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts to stay and assist them especially with needed rescue and recovery!"

Sailor Uranus asks, surprised, "What?"

Sailor Celestial says, seriously, "That's an order!" Sailor Celestial then says, "But I'm not going alone!" Sailor Celestial says, looking at Sailor Sun, Sailor Star, and Sailor Orion, "Since you aren't Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts, I can't order you to stay, so, I'm asking for your help."

Sailor Orion says, plainly, "That's because you know that we'll follow you no matter what you say." Sailor Orion says, looking at Sailor Star, "Especially with someone that considers Serena a sister."

Sailor Star says, with a nod, "I can't let stand by and let 'remnants' of the prison that she and I were trapped in cause her anymore pain."

Sailor Celestial looks at Sailor Galaxy causing her to say, "I'll come too."

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, "Move!" Before any of the Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts could protest, Sailor Celestial takes off at high speed with Galaxy, Sun, Star, and Orion quickly following her afterwards.

Sailor Mars says, irritated, "I can't believe this!"

Sailor Pluto says, with a plain tone, "She used her authority as a Moon Princess to give us a direct order. We must follow orders…and need to believe in her."

Sailor Mercury says, her visor active, "And she has a point. Those storms that she created caused significant damage around the school, not just the area that we were in. There could be students and facility that are hurt and may need help."

Sailor Jupiter says, "Then let's help them, so, we can go after them! She didn't say that we couldn't follow her after we help."

Sailor Uranus says, with a nod, "Good point, Jupiter. Let's move."

Sailor Nebula says, "We should also find out what about they said. By that looks of it, this information is true. Serena's identity as Sailor Moon has been exposed…"

Sailor Uranus says, plainly while interrupting, "Actually, it shouldn't be too surprising to public. Remember, Suguha's identity as Sailor Celestial was exposed after the fight with Ragnarök. There were too many pictures taken to discredit anyone and the information spread so fast that it was too late to counter it."

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod of her head, "So, it shouldn't be so hard to determine our 'secret identities' since we are so close to Celestial in both 'civilian' and senshi forms."

Sailor Nebula says, solemnly, "Good point."

Sailor Uranus says, seriously, "The real problem is the fact that Sailor Moon's 'connection' to Kayaba has been exposed. After SAO started and the SAO Task Force determined the innocence of all of Kayaba's family, including Kitten and her immediate family, from his actions, the government went into overdrive to protect them with Kayaba's parents being 'evaporated' and put under protective custody in which all information connecting Sailor Moon, her younger brother, and especially their mother, Kayaba's sister, to Kayaba in the form of 'family relations' being 'sealed' with all needed records being kept by the government."

Sailor Jupiter asks, shocked, "Then how did in the heck did that get out?"

Sailor Pluto says, "I believe that's the real reason that Celestial wanted us to stay behind. We need to find out how that information got out, so, we need to talk with people here to find out how they got the information. Plus, there is something else to consider."

Just then Sailor Mercury says, realizing what Sailor Pluto is implying, "Serena's mother, father, and Sammy, too!"

There are gasp of shock from the other Moon Kingdom Sailor Scouts causing Sailor Nebula to say, "You're right, Mercury! If this information has become public, Serena's parents and brother will be in danger!"

Sailor Uranus says, with a serious tone, "It has been only just over a year since SAO ended and those that lost from it, the family and friends of the victims as well as those that were employed in Argus, who suffered a lot because of SAO, will not have recovered from those 'wounds'. The emotions are still there and despite it not being family to Kitten and her family, they will want a form of 'justice', which is more like blind vengeance and 'payback', in which they will target the Tsukino family for it."

Sailor Mars says, taking out her communicator, "I'll contact Darien back in Tokyo! Shit! I thought that we were done with SAO!"

Sailor Uranus says, with a sneer, "It doesn't look like it."

Sailor Venus says, "Damn, Celestial knew what she was doing!"

Sailor Pluto says, with a smile, "We have to believe in our princesses, Venus."

Sailor Uranus says, looking in the direction that the rest of the Sailor Scouts rocketed off towards, "We can only believe and hope." On the meanwhile, rejoining Celestial, Star, Sun, Orion, and Galaxy, we find Sailor Celestial flying in the lead with other four Sailor Senshi following with Sailor Galaxy having an active communicator out.

Naruto's voice booms from communicator, "Are you freaking kidding me, Hinata-chan?"

Sailor Galaxy responds, "I wish that I was, Naruto-kun."

Naruto says, "Okay, Sakura-chan and I are on our way to Serena's house on the triple! You and Suguha-chan stay safe!"

Sailor Galaxy tells Naruto, with a warm tone, "You and Sakura-chan, too, Naruto-kun!"

Sailor Galaxy deactivates her communicator, putting it into her sub-space pocket, and when she looks at the others, Sailor Star says, concerned, "This is awful."

Sailor Orion says, with a nod of her head, "Yeah, Asuna. If this information has become public, those hurt the most by SAO will want what's called 'blood for blood' much like this girl."

Sailor Star says, horrified, "That's not fair to Usagi-chan…I mean Serena! She and her family knew nothing of Kayaba's plans, and she risked her life to try to save as many people as she could! She was the greatest victim out of all of us!"

Sailor Galaxy says, solemnly, "We know, Asuna-chan. We know. But life isn't fair."

Sailor Celestial says, "Right now, we need to stop this mad girl flat, figure out how that information got out, and get back to Tokyo as quickly as possible!"

Sailor Sun says, nodding her head in agreement, "Right!"

Sailor Celestial says, seriously, "I'm going on ahead! Catch up to me as quickly as you can!" With a loud sonic boom, Sailor Celestial takes off at speeds around Mach 2 to Mach 3 as she races off after Sailor Moon and Kirin where the other four Sailor Scouts are surprised for a second, but they quickly increase speeds to supersonic levels to follow as quickly as possible.

Early May 2026, Japan, Japanese countryside

In the mountainous countryside, Sailor Moon is flying along to find a place far away from Tenbi Academy to deal with Kirin without the rest of Tenbi Academy coming under the 'crossfire', but she then realizes that she didn't consider that Kirin couldn't fly due to the fact that she was a human that gained extraordinary powers, even though the student of Tenbi Academy are wielders of supernatural and/or superhuman abilities. Immediately, Sailor Moon stops in her tracks and turns around which proved to be her mistaken as she found herself being choked once more by Kirin, who has a deadly glare in her eyes, as she tightens her grip on Sailor Moon's deck causing our Senshi of the Moon gasps as she struggles for air.

Kirin tells Sailor Moon, her voice filled with anger and fury, "You think that you can escape me? Escape justice?! You think that you could placate my father and I with money and simple words? My brother, who my family loved, is dead and my mother is practically a vegetable, thanks to the horrible words said about her! They called her a murderer just because she helped in creating SAO! She and others like her in Argus had their lives and reputations destroyed because of what your worthless asshole uncle did! Our lives were destroyed, and they call you a hero?! YOU ARE NO HERO! THEY SAY THAT YOU WERE IN SAO AND SAVED MANY LIVES! WHAT ABOUT MY LITTLE BROTHER?! WHAT ABOUT MY MOTHER? WHAT ABOUT ALL THE LIVES DESTROYED BY SAO…?!"

But then Sailor Celestial's voice booms out, strongly, "And you are spitting on their graves by taking everything out on Sailor Moon, you self-righteous bitch!" Kirin starts to turn her head to face the direction that Sailor Celestial's voice came from, but Kirin gets rammed from behind by Sailor Celestial causing her to release her grip on Sailor Moon, who floats in place as she recovers from nearly getting choked, while Sailor Celestial continues to push Kirin until Sailor Celestial rams her into a nearby mountain in which the forested mountain, which was hundreds of feet in height, explodes into basically rubble as it is completely destroyed by the impact of Kirin being rammed into the mountain. However, the pile of stones of the destroyed mountain then explode in a massive blast of electrical energy causing the remains of the mountain to be vaporized while leaving a massive crater that's hundreds of feet in width, length, and depth in its place with Sailor Celestial and Kirin floating just above the center of the crater.

Kirin yells out, angrily, "You! I've had enough of you!"

Sailor Celestial shouts out, with a stern tone, "Same here! Let me get this through your thick skull! Nothing you do will change what happened! Taking your fury out on Sailor Moon won't bring your brother back!"

Kirin shouts out, angrily, "What do you know…?"

Sailor Celestial yells out, with a very strong tone and dangerous expression on her expression, "I KNOW ENOUGH!" Kirin flinches from Sailor Celestial's glare and she shouts out, strongly, "I know that revenge doesn't bring you anything other than more heartache! And what are you doing isn't honoring your lost loved ones at all! All you are doing is causing them to roll in their graves! Stop this now! Stop this before you become a fiend that your brother would be disgusted at!"

Kirin shouts out, enraged, "And what?! Forget about the death of brother? Unable to say goodbye to him? Forget the pain of my mother? The loss of my brother and complete and utter humiliation and disgrace that she suffered causing her to become a vegetable? Forget the pain of my father with the only things keeping him alive are his job and me?! My mother is nearly dead, and my father may follow soon enough! Forget my family's pain and misery? NEVER!" Kirin unleashes a powerful electrical surge from her form that causes massive storm clouds to form in the whole area for miles around while Sailors Galaxy, Star, Sun, and Orion arrive in the area while going over to Sailor Moon.

Sailor Star asks, concerned, "Are you okay, Serena-chan?"

Sailor Moon replies, with a nod, "Y-Yeah." Just then the five Sailor Senshi turn towards Sailor Celestial and Kirin as they hear her scream out in which they see Kirin unleashes a powerful electrical beam from her hammer at Sailor Celestial, but without moving an inch or flinching, Sailor Celestial just slaps the attack away with her hand causing Kirin to give a flabbergasted look as her attack goes far away into the distance where it causes a massive explosion where it lands with the explosion being seen plain as day despite being sent many upon many MILES away!

Sailor Celestial says, bluntly, "Next." Kirin quickly gets over her shock and with a roar of anger, she attacks Sailor Celestial with blast of electrical energy, however, Sailor Celestial easily avoids the attacks due to her incredible powers and Kirin's uncoordinated nature of her attacks, making them easily to predict and counter by blocking or dodging. Kirin roars out as she sends a surge of electrical energy into the sky and a massive bolt of lightning rains down on Sailor Celestial, but our Senshi of Reality easily managed to dodge the attack where Sailor Celestial just smirks at Kirin causing her to howl in pure fury where she raises her hammer to attack Sailor Celestial, again, however, the hammer is knocked out of her hands by a powerful magical arrow. Kirin turns to the source of the arrow, but she is then restrained by three blue 'bands' made of energy causing her to roar out as she tries to break free, however, she can't. Kirin looks towards the source of the bands and the arrow to see Moon, Sun, Star, Orion, and Galaxy looming over her with Sailor Galaxy 'covered' in a blue chakra aura with her pupilless eyes being blue instead of their usual violet-white color with six 'blue-energy spheres' behind her back.

Sailor Star says, excitedly, "You got her!"

Sailor Moon says, concerned, "Not yet! She…!" Before Sailor Moon could finish her sentience, Kirin unleashes a powerful beam of electrical energy from her mouth right at the five Sailor Senshi, who barely manage to dodge.

Sailor Sun asks, shocked, "She can fire electric energy beams from her mouth?"

Sailor Moon replies, with a nervous nod and tone, "Yes, she can."

Sailor Orion says, bluntly, "Of course she can." Soon after, Kirin roars out as she unleashes a powerful electrical storm from her whole form causing Sailor Celestial to 'zip' away from her and return to the others.

Sailor Star asks, confused, "What's she doing?"

Sailor Orion says, "Creating a massive electric storm by the looks of the it." The Sailor Scouts then hear the sounds of thunder and look to see an immense storm forms in the skies above in which multiple twisters of wind burst from the skies with a lot of bolts of lightning raining down causing all sorts of destruction and havoc.

Sailor Celestial says, seriously, "She is going to wreck everything at this rate!"

Sailor Orion says, seriously, "Then we need to stop her fast."

Sailor Star asks, confused, "How?"

Sailor Galaxy gives a grunt causing Sailor Celestial to ask, "Galaxy?"

Sailor Galaxy says, with a slight strained voice, "I have her…for the moment. But she seems to have incredible physical strength in that form."

Sailor Celestial says, bluntly, "Not surprised there."

Sailor Moon asks, concerned, "What do we do?"

Sailor Sun says, getting an idea, "I have an idea!" Everyone looks at Sailor Sun as she flies away a distance from the others and sends solar winds up into the sky as well as into space and after a minute, Kirin grunts as her electrical storm starts to weaken along with the massive storm that she created with it.

Sailor Star asks, confused, "What's going on?"

Sailor Orion responds, realizing what Sailor Sun is doing, "She is creating an artificial 'sun spot' to disrupt her electrical field!"

Kirin yells out, angrily, "This won't stop me! I will have justice! My family will have justice! You won't…!" However, Kirin doesn't get to finish as Sailor Celestial teleports behind her and lands a powerful karate chop to her neck causing Kirin's eyes to roll back in her head as she falls unconscious causing her electrical storm to dispel along with the larger storm as well.

Sailor Celestial says, plainly, "That puts an end to that." Just then Sailor Celestial notices something on her belt and she extends her hand towards it causing the small 'rainbow crystal' from earlier to come into her hand in which Kirin glows as she returns to her 'original form' in her Tenbi Academy uniform.

The others come over causing Sailor Moon to ask, "What did you do?"

Sailor Celestial says, with a plain tone while showing them the 'crystal', "I took this from her. And it is filled with my energies."

There are looks of shock from the other Scouts causing Sailor Star to ask, "Are you sure?"

Sailor Celestial says, with a nod, "I know my own power from anywhere."

Sailor Galaxy asks, curiously, "How did she get it?"

Sailor Celestial says, "Right now, we don't have time to worry about that. We need to get back to the others and get back to Tokyo and fast." Sailor Celestial tells Sailor Moon, "Sis, I don't want to worry you…"

Sailor Moon says, worriedly while interrupting Sailor Celestial, "I already realized it." The other Sailor Senshi give looks of surprise causing Sailor Moon to say, "I need to get back home. I need to get back to mom…dad…and Sammy! If I…my family's 'connection' has been revealed to the world then…"

Sailor Celestial tells Sailor Moon, "Nothing will happen to your family. Not with us around."

Sailor Star says, with a nod, "Suguha-chan is right, Serena-chan. Nothing is going to happen to your family. We've already been through too much to let anything happen to anyone that we care about." Sailor Moon nods her head at Sailor Star while Sailor Orion retrieves Kirin's hammer while Sailor Celestial grabs Kirin by one of Sailor Galaxy's 'restraints' still binding her. Soon afterwards, the group takes to the skies to return to Tenbi Academy to return Kirin to her school.

Early May 2026, Japan, Tenbi Academy

Back in Tenbi Academy, we find all of the Sailor Scouts that came to Tenbi Academy with the members of Maken-Ki, Aki, Minori, and Gen inside of Minori's office as principal of Tenbi Academy discussing what just happened.

Gen asks, plainly, "So, that little 'crystal' was created from her?"

When Gen looks at Sailor Celestial, Sailor Mercury replies, nodding her head, "Yes. The crystal was formed from Sailor Celestial's blood that she shed during her battle with Ragnarök. During the battle, Sailor Celestial and Sailor Moon focused their energies on the 'physical enhancements' that their powers as Sailor Senshi to battle Ragnarök since our special attacks had no effect on him due to his mana draining field around his body. Because of that fact, the blood that she lost, which was filled with her energies, had become 'crystalized' into forms like the one that your student had on her."

Sailor Uranus says, "We've seen 'crystals' like that before. One of Celestial's 'fill-ins' used it as the source of power for her armor."

Kengo asks, "You mean the chick using that armored suit designed to look like Sailor Celestial?"

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nod, "Yep."

Sailor Saturn asks, curiously, "What's going to happen to Kirin-san?"

Minori says, plainly, "To be blunt…she is going to get the boot out of the school."

Furan nods her head in agreement, and she says, sternly, "Her actions were completely intolerable and inexcusable."

Minori says, looking at Sailor Moon, "Got that right. From what you said, you worked your fucking ass in that nightmare to save as many people as possible."

Sailor Moon says, solemnly, "It wasn't enough."

Minori retorts, bluntly, "Bullshit!"

Everyone looks at Minori in which Aki says, "Minori…"

Minori says, plainly, "I call it like I see it. From what you said, you only had your 'game skills' like any other 'player' in SAO, right? So, you could only do as much as you could with the hand that you have been dealt…as crappy as it was. Personally, I'm amazed at your luck at surviving it all." Sailor Moon gives a nervous look in which Minori says, with a plain, yet, stern tone, "In any case, her attack on you was completely unwanted and reflects badly on this school. Her Maken has been removed from her possession and she will be expelled where she will never return to the Academy after all that she did."

Sailor Celestial says, with a plain tone, "I also took the liberty of making sure to seal her abilities for good as well."

There are looks of shock from the members of Tenbi Academy causing Furan to say, "Whoa! Hold on a minute…!"

However, Sailor Celestial glares at Furan causing her to shout out, interrupting Furan before she could finish, "No, you hold on a minute! I'm not going to give her a second chance to attempt to hurt Serena or her family! She has been through hell in SAO and in my mind as well as the mind of many SAO survivors, despite what she thinks, she is a true hero of that horror! No one, especially Serena and her family, had even a clue about what Kayaba's plans were! He turned what could have been a 'new frontier' into a prison and she had to fight, like any other player to survive, where she went out of her way to try to save as many fellow players as possible, but she couldn't save them all! She is Sailor Moon, the champion of love and justice, but she ISN'T A KAMI! She couldn't just snap her fingers and make them all 'immortal' in the game! She had the potential of anyone 'player' in SAO and that's all!"

Sailor Star says, with a plain tone and nodding her head, "I agree with Suguha-chan's decision." When everyone looks at Sailor Star, she states, plainly, "I'm an SAO survivor."

There are gasps from the Tenbi Academy group causing Takeru to ask, shocked, "Wait! You mean that you are…?"

Sailor Star says, with a nod, "Yes, I was in Aincrad…in Sword Art Online. I was one of the ten thousand people trapped in there. In fact, I was her closest companion in there with my...someone also really close to me. The three of us were like family and she was like a sister to me there in which she still is to me."

Sailor Moon says, lowly, "As-Star…"

Sailor Star says, with a stern expression on her voice, "And I'm getting sick and tired of her and her family getting 'associated' with THAT MAN and what he did to us! Plenty of our fellow SAO survivors can agree that she DID NOTHING WRONG AT ALL and in fact, she is indeed a true hero in SAO! Just because she is related by blood to Kayaba, she gets targeted by that 'association'. If he truly cared for her, Kayaba would have never let her get SAO in the first place, but he trapped in there with the rest of us and she made the choice to fight for all our freedom with all that she had! It isn't fair that she would be targeted for what Kayaba did to us and ruining the lives of those in Argus!"

Sailor Uranus says, nodding her head, "Agreed. If it were up to me, she wouldn't get worse than getting stripped of her powers."

Takeru thinks in her mind, nervously, "Then it is a good thing that Kirin-san that it isn't up to Sailor Uranus-dono."

Sailor Celestial says, with a plain tone, "Unfortunately, despite you taking away her 'weapon', Kirin may attempt to attack Serena again. It wasn't the 'power boost' that she got that drove her. It was begin consumed by the pain and despair caused by what Kayaba did with SAO. I've seen that look before. You need to knock that 'revenge mentality' out of her…if it isn't already too late. I KNOW exactly what she is feeling and going through. I've seen it in others before and it doesn't end well. That's why I sealed her abilities away."

Minori says, with a sigh and plain tone, "I've got to say that you have a good point. She put our school and students in danger where she didn't listen to reason at all."

Furan says, nodding her head, "Agreed, Minori-sensei. She was obsessed in taking revenge against Sailor Moon and didn't care who got in the way, even her fellow students."

Yuuka says, with a nod, "Yes, I believe what Sailor Celestial did was for the best."

Sailor Orion says, plainly, "Anyway, we should get going."

Sailor Pluto says, with a nod, "We need to return to Tokyo quickly."

Sailor Jupiter says, with a sneer, "That fucking asshole, Masahide, got the last laugh on us!"

Sailor Orion says, bluntly, "To say that he was right about our world as well as SAO was the 'rule' and not the 'exception'."

Sailor Jupiter says, cracking her knuckles, "If he wasn't already in jail, I would find him and drag his barely alive body to the police!"

Sailor Uranus says, "Right now, let's get back and make sure that Kitten's family is okay."

Sailor Saturn says, with a nod, "Right, Uranus-papa."

Sailor Star tells the members of Tenbi Academy, "Thank you for help in aiding us to find out what happened with Celestial."

Gen says, "No problem, but it looks like your troubles are just starting."

Sailor Celestial says, plainly, "No joke."

Takeru says, "Good luck."

Sailor Jupiter says, with a grin, "We won't need it!"

Chacha says, with a grin, "That's right! You're the Sailor Scouts! There is nothing that you can't do!"

Sailor Celestial thinks in her mind, nervously, "I wish that were true, Chacha-san." Soon afterwards, the Sailor Scouts gather around each other and hold each other's hands in which they start to glow in unison where they vanish in a 'flash' via Sailor Teleport.

Kimi says, amazed, "Wow."

Chacha says, with a grin, "I'll say. Really cool!"

Kimi asks, "Do you think that they will be okay?"

Furan says, plainly, "That's a good question."

Azuki says, with a grin, "They'll be just fine! They've already been through a lot already!"

Gen says, bluntly, "Doesn't mean they have been through everything. And it looks like they are about to be through a lot more and it is going to be hard on them in more ways than one."

Early May 2026, Japan, Tokyo, Juuban District

Within the Juuban District of Tokyo, we are some distance away from the Tsukino household where we find Naruto Uzumaki Namikaze, Sakura Haruno, and Tuxedo Mask putting a large group of one dozen people in outfit similar to what Sam Flynn wore in the 'Grid' during 'Tron: Legacy' movie in which every single person looks absolutely alike where they are grouped together, all of them glow in unison where they 'fuse' into one person.

Naruto says, with a sigh, "That was a pain."

Sakura tells Naruto, "As you would say Naruto: Believe it."

Naruto gives a grin causing him to say, jokingly, "Hey, that's my line!" Naruto then dodges some playful swipes from Sakura in which Naruto then says, with a deep breath of relief, "At least Serena-chan's family didn't notice."

Tuxedo Mask and Sakura look towards the Tsukino household in which Tuxedo Mask says, "Indeed."

Sakura says, "But this may be just the start. Like it or not, Serena's, Sammy's, and their mom's 'connection' to Kayaba has been revealed and there will be those family and friends of the victims of SAO as well as those that were part of Argus that will want 'payback'."

Naruto says, with a plain tone, "Well, I say that's not fair."

Tuxedo Mask says, "You're right, Naruto. It isn't fair since Serena was also trapped in SAO like the others and she was no better off than any other 'player', but she did everything in her ability to save as many as possible, however, she couldn't save everyone."

Sakura says, "However, it won't matter to some. It is just human nature to need to have something or someone to 'connect' to the 'wrong' done to you or someone close to you. For 'justice', closer, or both. It isn't fair to Serena and her family since they had absolutely nothing to do with Kayaba and his plans. But since they are related to him by blood, with Serena, Sammy, and Ikuko, are the only one that they can lash out against. This isn't over."

Tuxedo Mask says, solemnly, "No, it isn't." Naruto, Sakura, and Tuxedo Mask look at the Tsukino household causing him to say, "Far from over."

Naruto says, "Damn it! We just Suguha-chan back and now, the fucking sore loser had to cause this headache to Serena!"

Sakura tells Naruto, with a nod, "I feel the same way, Naruto, but what's done is done and we need to focus on the future. Like Darien said: This isn't over. No, this is only the beginning. We're in for a long fight."

Naruto says, nodding his head in agreement, "Believe it." As Naruto, Sakura, and Tuxedo Mask continue to observe the Tsukino household from a distance, Tuxedo Mask's mind is filled with determination to protect his beloved in two lifetimes from the 'lingering remnants' of a nightmare that she went through for two long years.

The End…of the story

Well, that ends that. Anyway, I think that this story gives you an idea on what's happened before the first chapter of SAO Beyond, but it doesn't give away too much. Personally, I'm still conflicted. I'm thinking of making a 'prologue' to the story where the full story of battle with Ragnarök and the chaos of the aftermath of Suguha's/Sailor Celestial's death and revival have gone through. However, with the chaos of what's happened IRL, I'm going to need to focus on said story first and I'm going to need to work with it in order to develop the plot of those 'prelude stories' if they come forward. Anyway, I hope that you enjoyed this one-shot, and I'll see later everyone! Read and review, but no flames, please! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
