By now, you have seen what I meant with Suguha's/Sailor Celestial's ever-growing list of 'problems', but they will work themselves out in one form or another. Also, like I said in the previous chapters, my ideas for my stories are ever-changing even when I'm writing them, in which, right now, I have made a 'modification' to the plot of this arc. Personally, I feel that I'm getting 'off base' with the 'spirit' of SAO that's a 'prime part' of this story series, so, I'm going to try to add plenty more 'gaming themes' to this arc of the story. It is pretty obvious with the titles of the past several chapters or more. Anyhow, I think that it is time to end my ramblings and for us to 'dive in'. I know that this is REALLY OLD, but I have to and 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 and Terra, their looks, everything about him as well as the UNI-SHOCKER organization, and the idea of Darth Revan Sammy Tsukino, the other versions of Sammy Tsukino, and other 'plot ideas' for this story.

Sailor Moon Online: SAO Beyond

(Sword Art Online opening music 'Innocence' starting)

As a group of rainbow colored birds fly through the air, witnessed by Naruto, Davis, and Asuna, the scene switches to Suguha, Serena, and Kazuto walking down the street, they turn around when they 'sense' something and the world around them shatters like a mirror revealing multiple alternate versions of them and the worlds of SAO, ALO, and beyond.

The next scene shows our heroes and heroines looking at the prone form of Suguha, dressed in 'royal gown/dress' as Princess Selene, lying in her see-through coffin with tears in the eyes of Kazuto, Naruto, and Serena in which the scene switches Naruto, dressed in his classic attire, but with white cloak similar to his dad's cloak as Hokage while looking into the wind.

The next scene has Serena looking at her broach and then walking through the hallways of the Moon Kingdom dressed as Princess Serenity and as she looks into the air, her shadow splits into two shadows with one of them looking like her as Valkyrie Sailor Moon and the other looks like Heathcliff.

The following scene has Darien looking at a rose while his 'alternate forms' of Tuxedo Mask and Prince Endymon are behind him and then we see Davis looking at two tags that contain the Crest of Miracles and Life when he feels a hand on shoulder in which he looks to see Kari, Veemon, Gatomon, and the rest of the Digidestined and their Digimon looking at him.

The next scene has Leafa stand in the middle a very swallow pond surround by the images of her four 'doppelgangers' as Sailor Celestial reflected in the water of the pond as a rainbow light comes from the sky in which when she looks up towards it, she then sees the rest of her friends in their ALO avatars and Leafa smiles as she approaches them transforming into Ark Valkyrie Sailor Celestial in the process.

Then we find our heroes and heroines battling through legions of robots, monsters, and fighting even multiple version of Heathcliff before out of some kind of vortex, Ragnarök appears before all of them with a roar of power and hatred. Various warriors, heroes, and 'other people' from the multiverse ranging from Sonic the Hedgehog, Shiroe of Log Horizon, Kite from Dot-hack series, Neptune, Nepgear, and their fellow CPUs/CPU Candidates from Neptunia series, Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, and others from the Marvel universe, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, and so many others from the DC Universe, and so many more before it focuses on Doctor Ivo 'Eggman' Robotnik surrounded by the seven Chaos Emeralds and a mysterious and powerful crystal which reality all around it seem to shatter like a mirror.

Valkyrie Sailor Moon, Kazuto, and the others extend their hands to Sailor Celestial and she takes them as they look at what looks like a giant book in which in the pages, there are pictures of various different versions of all of them and Leafa is holding a smaller version of that same book and reading it to Rain, Seven, Yuuki, Strea, and Yui.

Finally, we return to see Suguha, Serena, and Kazuto at that same street in which Suguha closes that same book and turn to see all of their friends/family/loved ones waving towards them causing the three of them to run over towards them as the rainbow-colored birds create a rainbow in the sky.

Act 1: Sword Art Realities

Chapter 12: Riding into a New Gamer Multiverse, Part 6

Early June 2026, Lunar universe, Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, UNI-SHOCKER headquarters

Within the immense headquarters facility for UNI-SHOCKER, we are in a hallway where a group of cyber-homunculus soldiers march by as two armored warriors, one in green armor designed like kangaroo and the other in red armor with it designed like a bull, watch them march by.

The bull armored warrior says, with a snort, "I don't see what the point is about them. They are no better than robots."

The kangaroo armored warrior says, plainly, "They are basically robots. They have cybernetics in them and AI programming. You do remember what has been happening with our technology lately, don't you? They don't want to take ANY chances with them."

The bull armored warrior says, "Well, they are far better cannon fodder than the Combatmen. These days, they are just a joke."

The kangaroo armored warrior says, with a nod, "That isn't surprising. They are only good for kamikaze attacks when in missile form and Lunar and his forces easily figured out how to counter them a million of ways."

The bull armored warrior says, with a nod, "No damn kidding. It is the reason that we are raiding across worlds for all of the tech, magic, and other stuff to get an edge on him."

The kangaroo armored warrior says, "Yeah, but our new 'allies' are quite the mix and they, all, can't be trusted."

The bull armored warrior says, "No joke. With the latest plan, they would have their own agendas."

The kangaroo armored warrior says, "It is to be expected. Our progress is being stopped flat by Lunar and his group in which they managed to incite rebellion in three of the worlds that we had conquered. It is getting really annoying."

The bull armored warrior says, "They managed to get the edge over us, and we need to regain the advantage fast if we are going to prevent this from going out of control."

The kangaroo armored warrior says, "No damn kidding, but these newest alternate versions of the Sailor Scouts seem to be even stronger than the last bunch in that botched mission."

The bull armored warrior says, with a sly tone, "They don't seem so tough to me." But then there is a massive explosion from a nearby wall and shockwave knocks down the two armored warriors! Emerging from the massive hole in the wall of the hallway, Valkyrie Sailor Mars, surrounded in flames, and the red-haired 'fighter' for Julian Ainsworth, Beatrice Flowerchild, 'infused' with the power of Magni, one of the sons of Thor, to continue their fight from earlier.

Sailor Mars says, "Give it up, girl! You can access only a portion of Magni's power while I have the full power of flames of Mars! You're done!"

Beatrice responds, with a snarl, "Not a chance! Bring it on, bitch!"

Sailor Mars retorts, "You are asking for it!" Sailor Mars and Beatrice continue their fight with her swinging her massive version of Mjolnir with Sailor Mars dodging with ease.

The armored warriors have managed to get to their feet and the kangaroo armored warrior says, seeing Sailor Mars and Beatrice, "Speaking of whom…"

The bull armored warrior yells out, "What are we waiting for?! Let's get her!" But then a series of arrows strikes them in certain areas of their armor, namely their joints, causing them to hesitate where [Sailor Moon] and [Sailor Celestial] zoom in where they take down both armored warriors with familiar Sword Skills causing a significant damage to their armor and knocking them out.

A familiar female voice says, "Well done. You truly emphasize the warriors that you are." [Sailor Moon] and [Sailor Celestial] look to see Talia, Cure Celestial, Sailor Orion, Izzy, Sora, Mimi, Joe, Cody, Tentomon, Biyomon, Lillymon, Gomamon, Digmon, Lancer, Lancer's Master, Bazett Fraga McRemitz, Atalanta, Illya, and Miyu emerging from the hole.

[Sailor Moon] says, with a kind smile, "Thank you, Atalanta, but we…most of us, anyway, personally prefer 'guardians' to 'warriors' despite meaning that in our title as Sailor Senshi."

[Sailor Celestial] says, with a grin, "Speak for yourself, sis."

Just then there is another loud explosion, and everyone looks to see Sailor Mars' flames clashing with Thor's lightning from Mjolnir in which Lancer says, with a grin, "They are really going at it."

[Sailor Moon] says, "That's the way that Pyro…even if it isn't my Pyro."

Atalanta says, "She truly is an avatar for the Gods of War."

Sailor Orion says, with a nod, "I have to admit that you have a point, Atalanta."

Illya asks, curiously, "Where is Julian?"

Miyu replies, "I don't know, Illya. He vanished as soon as those two started fight. With all of the smoke and the explosions, it was easy for him to slip out of sight."

Lancer says, with a snarl, "No better than that coward, Kotomine." Lancer says, with a smirk, "Personally, I think that it is funny that he ends up as a mere tofu chef in one world."

Bazett says, plainly, "Don't forget in that world is the church is nothing more than a shell of its former self and the world is slowly ending due mana depleting and being replaced by some kind of energy that's destroying all life on the planet."

Izzy says, "And they plan to want to use the power of Etherion to reverse that trend instead of their original plan of transforming humanity into a lifeform that can survive on their altering Earth."

Lancer says, looking at [Sailor Celestial], "Well, you can't be too surprised by that. A girl with the thing that made everything in existence even exist? She is like the 'ultimate Holy Grail'!"

[Sailor Celestial] says, annoyed and sarcastically, "Excuse my counterparts and I being the most powerful beings in all of the multiverse! We never asked for this! We never wanted this! We were just…given this!"

[Sailor Moon] says, concerned, "Celestial…"

[Sailor Celestial] says, with a grin, "I'm fine, sis."

Bazett says, looking at [Sailor Moon], "However, I don't think you and your 'royal brother' aren't unrelated or unimportant in your connections to her."

Sailor Orion says, "We know so, Bazett. Our Sailor Moon, Sailor Celestial, and Kazuto were reborn as close siblings, as far as we know, in many of their practically infinite lives or just as close as siblings."

Cody says, with a nod, "It means that they have their own important roles to play with Suguha and the fact that it is a 'multi-universal constant' proves that Serena and Kazuto play an 'important role' in Suguha's 'purpose' as the 'guardian' of Etherion."

Izzy says, "Through we don't completely understand it yet."

Miyu says, "Well, right now, it is best that no one gets their hands on any version of your friend or even a portion of the 'power' that she possesses."

[Sailor Celestial] says, with a nod, "That's a fact."

Just then more explosions are heard, and Joe says, nervously, "Geez, they are really going at it."

Gomamon tells Joe, "What did you expect Joe?"

Cure Celestial says, with a smirk, "Insanity versus hard-core warrior? I think that's a recipe for destruction if I ever heard one."

Miyu says, "We should keep moving. Reinforcements are going to be on their way here."

Bazett says, with a nod, "The chaos will alert their forces to our location."

Lancer says, with a smirk, "I say bring them on, Master! I've got quite a few things to get off my chest with them!"

Bazett says, with a sigh, "You would Lancer."

Talia says, "Hopefully, the others are doing all right."

(Elsewhere; on the meanwhile)

At another location, we find Sailor Moon, in her Valkyrie Sailor Scout form, and Kazuto, still looking as his SAO avatar with golden crescent moon sigil on his forehead, lying down on the ground and groaning as they slowly wake up.

Asuna's/Sailor Star's voice booms in Kazuto's ears, "Kirito-kun! Kirito-kun!"

At the same time, Sailor Moon's ears are hearing Darien's/Tuxedo Mask's voice call out, "Serena! Come on, Meatball Head!" Sailor Moon and Kazuto groan as they wake up where they find Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Star looking at them in concern.

Kazuto asks, weakly, "Asuna?"

Sailor Moon asks, weakly, "D-Darien-kun?" Kazuto and Sailor Moon groan as they get into a sitting position.

Sailor Star tells Kazuto, "Easy, Kirito-kun. The warp or whatever that engulfed us knocked most of us out."

Just then a familiar female voice yells out, "It's about time that you two woke up!" Sailor Moon, Kazuto, Sailor Star, and Tuxedo Mask look to see Sailor Nebula, Ken, Stingmon, Sailor Pisces, Shurimon, Sailor Mercury, in her new Ark Valkyrie form, Sailor Jupiter, in her new Ark Valkyrie form, Tai, WarGreymon, Matt, MetalGarurumon, Ishtar, possessing Suguha's body where she is clad in Ishtar's 'usual outfit', Chole, Rin, Archer, Shirou, Saber, Ritsuka, Mash, Musashi, and Astoflo coming over.

Sailor Moon and Kazuto remembered what happened a short time back and Kazuto asks, "Everyone okay?"

Tuxedo Mask says, plainly, "We're all just fine."

Sailor Star says, "You are the last of us that got knocked unconscious to wake up."

Kazuto and Sailor Moon get to their feet and Sailor Moon asks, "What happened?"

Sailor Mercury says, "Somehow, Terra has created a space-time 'warp' of some kind and brought us into another dimension."

Sailor Moon says, with a groan, "Of course."

Chole says, "Something tells me that you have experience with this kind of things."

Sailor Pisces says, solemnly, "You have no idea."

Tai says, pointing to Ishtar, "By the way, bro, we've been information of the situation with Suguha and her new 'look'. And…we don't envy you."

Matt says, with a nod, "Especially after Sailor Mercury gave us a brief overview of ancient Mesopotamia and their deities."

Kazuto says, plainly, "Thanks." Kazuto asks Sailor Mercury, "Did you do a scan of Sugu and find out if what Ishtar said is true?"

Ishtar gives an annoyed look and Sailor Mercury says, "Yes…It seems like she may be telling the truth. From what the scans tell me, this seems more than just a 'possession', like someone else taking over Suguha's body. It seems like Ishtar and Suguha are…like have been 'blended' or 'merged' together. Sailor Nebula managed to help me in confirming what Ishtar-dono said is true."

Sailor Nebula says, "Since I'm the Sailor Scout deeply connected to all Star Seeds, I was able to confirm that Ishtar's 'core' was indeed, at least, 'linked', to Suguha's Star Seed. They are 'interlinked' now."

Sailor Moon says, with a nod of understanding and a sigh, "I see."

Ishtar says, annoyed, "Took you long enough."

Sailor Nebula says, "I'm going to need to take a deeper look with Sailor Mars' and Sailor Pluto's help with their psychic and spiritual abilities."

Ishtar asks, sarcastically, "Don't we have a much bigger problem to deal with?" Sailor Moon and Kazuto then look around and they see that all of them are a massive space with a lot of doors, not connected to any walls, in the massive space.

Sailor Moon asks, confused, "What in the world?"

Sailor Mercury says, "This dimension seems to be some kind of labyrinth. Of what kind, I can't be too sure based on my scans."

Kazuto asks, "Did any of you go through the doors?"

Sailor Pisces says in reply, "Not yet. And we think that it is most likely a trap."

Rin says, "This whole setup is an obvious trap."

Sailor Moon asks, curiously, "Where's Naruto, Sakura, and Galaxy?"

Sailor Jupiter says, "We had them explore ahead if there is some kind of 'backdoor' or whatever around here."

Just then a familiar female voice says, "Which there isn't." Everyone looks to see Naruto, Sakura, Sailor Galaxy, Strea, in her ALO form, and Yui, in her pixie form, coming up to them.

Yui says, flying over to Kazuto, "Daddy, you are awake!"

Kazuto says, "Hey, Yui."

Sailor Star asks Yui, "Did you find anything?"

Strea shifts from her 'ALO form' into her 'SAO form' causing her to say, "Just doors. Doors. And more doors. So boring!"

Sailor Galaxy says, "There seems to be no end to the doors and no way to tell if any of them are different from the others…at least by looking at them."

Naruto says, with a nod, "Believe it. This is very good trap."

Sailor Moon asks Sailor Mercury, "Do you think that this place is like the other 'alternate dimensions' that we faced in the past?"

Sailor Mercury says, "There are similarities, but based on the data, this dimension is quite different from the others that we faced in the past including being more advanced."

Chole asks, "You faced stuff like Reality Marbles?"

Sailor Jupiter responds, "Similar, but different."

Astoflo says, amazed, "Wow, Master! You really come from a complicated world!"

Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, "You don't know the half of it."

Archer says, "I'm surprised to find that with all of your power, you can't figure this way out."

Tuxedo Mask says, plainly, "We may be very powerful, but we aren't deities…not even close."

Sakura says, pointing to Ishtar, "Through we have one in our corner, sort of, but she is no help."

Ishtar yells out, angrily, "How dare you?" Ishtar gives an annoyed 'huff' causing her to say, "I could easily take care of this, but I don't want to."

Suguha's voice booms out in everyone's minds, "The fact is that your powers are limited due to our 'condition' being similar to a Pseudo-Servant and that limits your powers."

Ishtar shouts out, flustered, "Oh, shut it!"

Tai tells Kazuto, "I seriously don't envy you, bro."

Kazuto says, plainly, "Tell me about it, Tai." Kazuto then walks over to one of the doors.

Sailor Star asks, concerned, "Kirito-kun, what are you doing?"

Kazuto responds, "It is quite obvious that this is one big trap, however, standing here and trying to figure it out won't help us one bit. So, I plan to do what Davis and Naruto would usually do: Jump right in and set off the trap."

Naruto says, a bit annoyed, "Hey, Davis and I aren't like that!" Sakura, Sailor Pisces, Matt, and Sailor Jupiter give a look that asks: 'Are you kidding?' At the same time, Ken and Sailor Galaxy give nervous looks.

Matt says, pointing to Tai, "You forgot one more person that category, Kazuto."

Tai gives an annoyed look and Sailor Star says, with a sweet yet nervous smile, "I think that it is actually two."

Kazuto gives a nervous 'yelp' and Rin asks, with a sigh, "And they are supposed to be leaders of your group?"

Ken says, "Actually, Tai and Serena are two of the leaders of our group."

Sakura says, "Though I actually understand what you are implying Rin-san and you have a point."

Tai yells out, annoyed and embarrassed, "Hey!"

Astoflo says, excitedly, "I have to say, Master, your group is really something else! This adventure is going to be a blast!"

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nervous smile, "It doesn't seem you have changed a bit Astoflo-san."

Astoflo says, with a grin, "Not one bit!"

Kazuto says, "Anyway, to figure out how to get out of here, we need to figure out the trap, so…" Before anyone could say or do anything, Kazuto opens one of the doors and the whole area changes in a large flash where everyone finds themselves in what looks like the courtyard of the Kirigaya household.

Saber asks, amazed, "What's this?"

Shirou says, "It looks like we are in someone's yard."

Tuxedo Mask says, seriously, "Not just 'someone's' yard."

Kazuto says, "Sugu's and my yard. This is home." There are plenty of looks of surprise from those not of our heroes' and heroines' world, minus Ishtar, in which she is looking at a certain location. When the others notice this and then look at the same location, they can see what looks like an eight-year old Suguha Kirigaya looking down at the pond in the grassland yard where she sees a water strider insect floating on the water.

Sailor Pisces says, recognizing the 'little version' of Suguha, "That's…"

Ishtar says, plainly, "Obviously." Everyone then looks to see Child Suguha try to grab the water strider, but she misses and falls into the water in which sinks into the water as she fails about as Child Suguha starts to drown.

Shirou, on instinct, starts to move forward, but Saber stops him causing her to say, "No, Shirou. This is an image of the past. There is nothing that you can do." Soon after, everyone looks to see a ten-year old Kazuto Kirigaya dive into the pool and bring Child Suguha back to the surface.

Sailor Star says, "Oh, I see. That's why Suguha-chan never learned how to swim."

Kazuto says, with a nod, "Yeah."

Ishtar says, plainly, "No, duh. You are a little girl and you nearly drown? It would be obvious that you would have a problem with water." When everyone looks at Ishtar, they notice that one of her/Suguha's arms is shaking slightly and uncontrollably.

Mash asks Ishtar, "Are you okay, Ishtar?"

Ishtar responds, with an annoyed glare, "Just fine! Why wouldn't I be okay?"

Kazuto thinks in his mind, "It seems like Ishtar and Sugu are really 'deeply connected' now."

Tai asks, curiously and concerned, "So, this place is bringing out people's memories?"

Matt says, with a plain tone, "It seems like that way."

Kazuto says, with a plain tone, "Yeah. That was a childhood memory of Sugu and me. Personally, one that I don't want to remember, and I know that Sugu feels the same way." Kazuto looks at Ishtar causing him to say, "I was close to having a heart attack and our mom was too."

Sailor Pisces says, with a nod, "I'll bet." While they were talking, Astoflo goes over to another door and puts his hand on the doorknob.

Chole notices this causing her to yell out, "What do you think you are doing?"

Everyone looks at Astoflo where he responds, with a smile, "Just seeing what's in door number two!" Before anyone could stop him, Astoflo opens the door and the whole area is engulfed in another bright light changing the whole 'scene' of the area into what looks like the inside of a computer lab.

Sailor Jupiter says, annoyed, "Astoflo!"

Astoflo gives a nervous look where Ritsuka asks, "Where are we?"

Mash responds, "It looks like a computer lab, Master."

Just then a familiar child-like female voice shouts out, "Uncle Kayaba! Uncle Kayaba!" Everyone looks towards the source to see an eight-year old Serena Tsukino running over to a young Akihiko Kayaba, who is sitting in a chair.

Saber says, surprised, "That man!"

Shirou says, surprised, "It's him!" On the meanwhile, Sailor Moon lowers her head at this scene while the scene shows Child Serena leaping onto young Kayaba's lap.

Young Kayaba says, with a smile, "Hello, princess." Child Serena just smiles at Young Kayaba as a younger Ikuko Tsukino walks over to him.

Younger Ikuko Tsukino tells Young Kayaba, "Hello, little brother."

Young Kayaba tells his sister, "Good to see you, big sister."

Younger Ikuko Tsukino tells Young Kayaba, with a smile, "I'm not surprised that we would find you here. This is where I would find you these days, but just a while ago, I would never find you around here. You were in the Mathematics, but you were never into computers, little brother."

Young Kayaba says, with a sly smile, "Maybe I had quite the big sister to show me how interesting computers are."

Younger Ikuko Tsukino says, with a smile, "Real funny, Akihiko. Trust me, I know my way around a computer, you are the true savant of the family, little brother. I mean, you are already making one hundred million yen at your age, little brother."

Young Kayaba says, "You and your husband aren't doing too bad yourselves. Kenji is journalist and investigative reporter of EXCELLENT skill. You don't get where you are without being that, but you help him use his reporter skills to the fullest, big sister."

Young Ikuko Tsukino says, with a sigh and smile, "Already quite the flatter. By the way, a fellow student, here, seems to hold an 'interest' in you."

Child Serena asks, curiously, "Huh?"

Young Kayaba tells Child Serena, with a kind smile, "It is a little too 'mature' for your tastes, little princess."

Child Serena says, with a pout, "I'm not a baby! I can understand grown-up stuff!"

Young Ikuko Tsukino says, with a giggle, "Yes. Yes, sweetie."

Child Serena says, seeing a sketch at the table near Kayaba's seat, "Ooh, what's that? That must be what you are working on." Everyone looks to see the sketch is a rough draft-like drawing of none other than Aincrad.

Young Kayaba says, with a smile, "Just a dream, princess."

Child Serena asks, curiously, "Dream?"

Young Ikuko Tsukino asks, "The castle?"

Child Serena asks, curiously, "Castle?"

Young Kayaba says, "Yes, my dream. A castle that I have dreamed about ever since I was your age or even younger. A majestic castle that's floating in the sky."

Child Serena says, curiously and getting excitedly, "A castle in the sky? Ooh, that sounds exciting!"

Young Kayaba says, with a smile, "Maybe it will be, my princess. Maybe it will be." Soon after, the 'scene' vanishes, and the group finds themselves in 'hallways of doors' once again.

Astoflo asks, curiously, "What was that?"

Sailor Moon replies, in out of character plain tone, "A distant memory." She starts to walk away from the others in which Sailor Star, Kazuto, and Tuxedo Mask show great concern for her while she says, "Not even that possibly. Just an illusion."

Astoflo asks, curiously, "An illusion? Really?"

Kazuto says, with a plain tone, "Please…just drop it."

Before Astoflo could say anything, Ishtar tells him, "Just do as he says already."

Mash tells Ishtar, curiously, "You are really concerned about her."

Ishtar gives a blush causing her to say, crossing her arms, "I'm not really concerned! I know that sis is made of 'tough stuff', but I don't want this to devolve into 'ten thousand questions'. Right now, our main focus is getting the heck out of here."

Ken says, with a nod, "I have to agree. We need to figure out how to get out of here."

Tuxedo Mask says, nodding his head in agreement, "It seems like this place can tap into our memories. How many of us whose memories have been 'tapped'? That's the question."

Kazuto thinks in his mind, "I may have a good idea."

Sailor Star whispers to Kazuto, "Kirito-kun…"

Kazuto whispers back, "Try to keep your thoughts safe, Asuna. Just a thought."

Sailor Star whispers, with a nod, "Right…"

Astoflo gives a confused look and he tells Sailor Jupiter, "Master, your leader seems to be…really moody."

Sailor Jupiter replies, nervously, "She…been through a lot."

Sailor Pisces thinks in her mind, "That's a major understatement, Lita."

Captain Drake's voice booms out, "Aye, Master. From what I see, ye have been through hell and back!"

Sailor Pisces shouts out, surprised, "Yipe! Drake-dono?! You've seen my memories!"

Captain Drake retorts, "Why ye so surprised? You are my Master after all!"

Sailor Pisces tells Captain Drake, "Drake-dono, this isn't a 'Holy Grail War' or 'Grand Orders' with Ritsuka-san and Mash-san!"

Captain Drake replies, "Ye be right there, Master. However, it seems like your powers to manifest us, Servants, are similar to how we be usually summoned! Your abilities are similar to the True Magic used in our summoning in the first place."

Sailor Pisces says, with a sigh, "Yeah, you have a point. Okay, Drake-dono, please don't go through my memories unless they 'pop up' in some kind of 'dream' or 'vision'. And that's an order."

Captain Drake says, "If ye say so, Master."

Sailor Pisces takes a deep breath and Shurimon asks, "Are you all right, Yolei?"

Sailor Pisces says, with a nod, "Yeah, Shurimon. I think that I'm already adapting to my 'awakening', but I'm going to need more time than the others to adjust to my powers."

Sailor Jupiter says, "Well, we were shocked to learn that you are the reincarnation of a 'space mermaid princess'."

Sailor Mercury says, "The Pisces star constellation is connected to Neptune through they also have a connection to Venus as well."

Sailor Jupiter asks, curiously, "They do?"

Sailor Mercury says, with a nod, "In Greek mythology, it is said that Aphrodite and Eros were aided by Pisces to escape the monster Typhon and there are a few other legends about Pisces helping Aphrodite. So, while planet that the Pisces star constellation is connected to is Neptune, they also have a connection to Venus via Pisces connection to Aphrodite. From the information on the Silver Millennium, the mermaids of Pisces were considered the 'sea cupids' of galaxy and one of the most intelligent peoples in the Milky Way."

Tai whistles in amazement causing him to tell Sailor Pisces, "Some retinue, Yolei."

Sailor Pisces says, with a shrug, "What can I say? It is kind of weird since Mercury is my star constellations' detriment and fall."

Ishtar says, with a sarcastic tone, "Guess that it isn't surprising that all that brain power isn't helping us at all."

Sailor Pisces yells out, annoyed, "Like you are any help, your majesty!" Ishtar then yelps as she feels a major hit on her head causing her to hold her head in pain.

Suguha's voice booms out, "Don't you ever shut up?!" Suguha, in 'astral form', appears by Ishtar and the two of them glare at each other.

Sakura slaps herself in the head causing her to say, solemnly, "Something tells me that we are going to be here for a while."

Sailor Galaxy says, with a nervous smile, "Well, based on what we know, Ishtar-dono and Suguha do seem to be 'polar opposites'."

Sailor Jupiter says, "And that makes me worried. Knowing what I know about Pseudo-Servants, I'm worried about their stability and I'm not talking about their emotion and mental stability though with Ishtar being so flaky and all…"

Ishtar says, pointing Suguha's right hand like a gun at Sailor Jupiter, "I am not 'flaky'!"

Suguha yanks Ishtar's/her right arm up and she yells out, "Watch where you are aiming that thing! Geez, Lita got you pegged!"

Ishtar retorts, with a smirk, "Oh, yeah! Look at who is calling the kettle black!"

Rin shouts out, irritated, "All right, that's enough, you two! We have more pressing matters to think about!"

Suguha and Ishtar cross their arms, look away from each other, and Ishtar says, annoyed, "Whatever."

Suguha replies, in the same annoyed tone, "Ditto."

Archer says, with a sly smile, "Now, I can see why Ishtar chose you as her first vessel."

Rin yells out at Archer, annoyed and with flushed cheeks, "What's that supposed to mean Archer?"

Kazuto tells Sailor Pisces, Sailor Nebula, and Sailor Mercury, "Keep a close eye on Sugu…her body and everything else…as well as Ishtar…"

Sailor Mercury, Sailor Nebula, and Sailor Pisces reply in unison, "Right."

Musashi asks Naruto, "Who was that guy?"

Naruto says, with a plain tone, "Someone that Serena REALLY wants to get out of her mind, but never seems to get the chance."

Sakura says, with a nod, "No kidding. He is a major headache…heartache…and basically, threatening to turn Serena into an 'emotional mess' which she has had hardly any time to recover from."

Musashi says, nervously, "Yipe!" Musashi says, remembering what happened ever since met up with Sailor Moon's team with Naruto, Sakura, and Sailor Galaxy, "Well, they really don't like him at all and your friend in black REALLY wanted to kill him. He really showed major killer intent. But he doesn't seem that dangerous."

Naruto says, "That's what makes him the most dangerous of all."

Musashi says, with a nod, "You may have a point, Naruto. He took all that killer intent without even flinching and his technique wasn't any joke either though I have to admit that your friend in black wasn't any joke. Unlike my two-sword style, his dual wielding seemed very improvised, but it was very effective, too. I would like to take him on to see how our sword techniques compare."

Sailor Galaxy says, with a kind smile, "I think that it is best that you wait until another time, Musashi-san." Musashi nods in understand as our group continues on through this 'dimension' to find a way out of it.

(Within another area; a brief time afterwards)

In another area of the massive multi-story city-like headquarter complex, we find Davis' group, Valkyrie Sailor Scouts Saturn, Neptune, Pluto, and Sun, Davis, TK, Ark Valkyrie Sailor Venus, Magnamon, MagnaAngemon, Angewomon, and Sailor Saturn's new 'partner', Brighid, an artificial humanoid entity known as a 'Blade', engaged against a legion of robots known as omnics, robots with complex AI programs, specifically the combat variety omnics known as Siege Automation Bastion namely the model known as B73. Right now, our heroes and heroines are under fire from B73's dual machine guns.

Sailor Venus says, "This looks oddly familiar."

Davis says, with a nod, "Yeah. First, we have Fallout and Halo. Now, we are going into Overwatch."

Angewomon says, with a plain tone, "Yes, they are going on with a theme here. However, it isn't important right now."

MagnaAngemon says, with a nod, "Indeed. There is a whole army of omnics sent against us and by the looks of it, they aren't willing to talk."

Sailor Neptune says, looking through her Aqua Mirror, "It looks like UNI-SHOCKER made sure to install chips and programs in them to ensure their loyalty."

TK says, "Not surprising due to what happened with Lunar and others." Brighid uses her flames to turn a lot of B73 omnics into molten slag, but even more march in and attack with Davis, using his Light Hawk Wings, and Sailor Saturn, with her powers, to create shields to protect the others.

Davis says, annoyed, "Time to end this mess!" Davis then gathers energy into his hands and unleashes a powerful energy beam that vaporizes the whole of legion of B73 omnics.

Magnamon says, excitedly, "Nice!"

Sailor Sun says, with a sigh, "It feels like a shame."

Sailor Neptune tells Sailor Sun, "They aren't like the omnics that you see in the game. The ones that aren't designed for combat, Sailor Sun. They aren't like AI like Yui and Strea."

Sailor Pluto says, plainly, "Just weapons of war." There is a loud 'bang', and everyone looks to see a massively tall humanoid armored warrior with black elephant style armor stomping towards them.

Sailor Venus says, shocked, "He's huge!"

The black elephant armored warrior says, strongly, "Large and in charge! Time to squash you flat!"

Davis says, with a sly smirk, "I don't think so, pal!"

The black elephant armored warrior says, "You want to go, little man? I'm going to turn you into a pancake!"

Davis says, with a wide grin, "Give it your best shot!" Davis flies up where the black elephant armored warrior clashes fists with our Digidestined of Miracles and Life causing a massive crater that's thirty feet all around and 40 feet deep to form around the feet of the massive armored warrior, but while Davis is uninjured, the black elephant armored warrior screams out in pain as the armor around his fist and arm greatly crack.

Sailor Neptune asks, with a sly smile, "Do you think that we should have warned him that Davis is as powerful as one of us at Valkyrie power if not higher?"

TK says, with a smile, "Well, he knows now." As if to prove Sailor Neptune's and TK's point, Davis then grabs his massive opponent and lifts him over his head with ease before throwing him like a rag doll through the roof and high into the sky in which TK comments, with a sly smirk, "Show off."

Brighid tells Sailor Saturn, very impressed, "I must say, my Driver, your friends and allies are incredibly powerful. You aren't ordinary humans at all though it is to be expected."

Davis says, with a smile, "Yeah, it is too bad that I can't use my most powerful attacks here."

Angewomon says, "Well, we don't want the whole place blowing up with us in it."

Sailor Pluto says, with a smile, "I believe that's a good point."

Sailor Sun says, with a smile, "I know that Dai-kun can easily control his powers."

MagnaAngemon says, "And it isn't too surprising that Davis is so powerful due to his heritages though he prefers some of his heritages to others."

Sailor Neptune says, "Though you can't blame him."

Davis asks, sarcastically, "You know that I'm right here, right?"

TK says, "Anyway, we should get going before we run into more problems."

Sailor Venus says, seeing something, "Too late for that!" Everyone looks to find more B73 combat omnics come in which while plenty fire their machine guns, another group transform into their 'tank forms' unleashing an assault causing our heroes and heroines to scatter from the assault.

"Celestial Arrow!"

"Magna Blast!"

Angewomon and Magnamon unleash their attacks to combine into a powerful golden-white arrow that slams into the formation that causes a powerful explosions that destroys hundreds of the combat omnics, but there are still A LOT left.

TK says, "Not bad, but there is still a lot of them left!" Sailor Saturn uses her powers to create a shield to protect the others while they prepare for a long range assault until a column of flames is seen where everyone else looks to see Davis emerge from the columns of flames with a massive titan that looks exactly like Belias, the Gigas, one of the Espers from Final Fantasy 12.

Sailor Venus says, amazed, "Whoa!"

Davis says, "Hey, guys! Meet my new friend: The Esper Belias, the Gigas!" The flaming Esper then takes one swing of its weapon and destroys several dozen omnics in one attack, but the massive number of omnics fight back causing Belias to stumble back in which Davis yells out, "Take cover!"

Sailor Venus says, with a nervous nod, "Okay!"

TK says, "Something tells me that it is going to be big!" Immediately, everyone, minus Davis, assembles around Sailor Saturn and Sailor Sun reinforces her shield.

Sailor Sun yells out, "We're ready, Dai-kun!"

Davis yells out, "Okay, big guy, let it fly!" Belias then unleashes his most powerful attack, Hellfire, an immense wall of flames, that vaporizes the whole of the omnic forces against our heroes and heroines while turning much of the area that they are into a black charred husk. When the attack is over, Sailor Saturn and Sailor Sun lower to shield to see the remains of the area.

TK says, sickened by the smell of charred metal, "Wow."

Sailor Venus says, with a nod, "That's hot!"

Angewomon says, plainly, "No kidding, Mina."

Brighid says, amazed, "Such power…" Soon after, Belias glows as he turns into an 'flaming orb' that goes into Davis.

Sailor Neptune says, "It looks like Firefly isn't the only one that has gained a 'new friend'."

Magnamon says, "One that really knows how to bring on the feet."

Angewomon says, with a sigh, "Magnamon…"

Sailor Pluto says, "It shows that they are going to many worlds to get their clutches on items, 'creatures', and technology to use as weapons in their war against Lunar and his allies." Everyone glances at Brighid and she nods her head in agreement with Sailor Pluto.

Davis says, banging his right fist into his left palm, "Well, I say that we deny them everything and everyone that they want!"

Sailor Sun says, with a smile, "I agree, Dai-kun!"

TK says, with a grin, "Ditto!"

Magnamon says, "Then let's move out!" The others nod their heads in agreement and they head across the practically destroyed area where they find where should be a wall, but there is only a mass of charred rubble that they climb/fly over where they find themselves looking down at an area that looks like a mixture of an alchemy lab and a classic movie/television 'mad scientist lab'.

TK says, nervously, "This is…unnerving."

Sailor Venus says, with a nervous nod, "Yeah. Does anyone get a 'horror flick' feel? I do."

Sailor Pluto says, "While I wouldn't normally feel that anyone would be foolish enough to go into such folly, I wouldn't put anything with this organization. Be prepared for anything." The others nod their heads in agreement as they cautiously head into the area.

But then a voice calls out in Sailor Sun's mind, "Help me…kupo…"

Sailor Sun stops in her tracks causing her to think, "Huh?"

Everyone sees Sailor Sun stop causing them to Davis where Davis asks Sailor Sun, "What's up?"

Sailor Sun says, "I thought…I thought that I heard someone call out for help."

TK says, "I didn't hear anyone."

Sailor Neptune says, "Neither did I."

The voice in Sailor Sun's mind shouts out, "Kupo…help me…I'm here…"

Sailor Sun says, "I know I heard someone! Over here!" Sailor Sun, using her instincts, rushes over to a location where she finds a trunk that's locked.

Sailor Pluto says, "There is a mystical seal on that trunk."

Sailor Neptune says, looking at the trunk with her Aqua Mirror, "I can't see what's inside of the trunk. The seal is extensive."

Sailor Sun takes out her sword and points it at the trunk in which TK tells her, "Whoa, Kari! You think that's wise?"

MagnaAngemon says, "TK has a point. UNI-SHOCKER sealed whatever they put in there for a reason."

Sailor Sun says, "The voice that I heard came from this trunk! I know it!"

Davis puts his hands on the hilt of Sailor Sun's sword, and he tells her, "I trust your judgment, Kari-chan. I'm with you."

Sailor Sun says, with a warm smile, "Thank you, Dai-kun." Davis and Sailor Sun use their combined power to undo the seals on the trunk causing the trunk to open with a 'snap' causing a glow to come from the trunk where a strange violet, red, and gray bow-like weapon with red jewel floats up from the trunk.

Sailor Neptune asks, curiously, "A bow?"

But then the 'bow' erupts in a burst of light and a high voice shouts out, "Kupo!" Everyone yelps out as they are blinded by the light coming from the 'bow'.

(Back with Sailor Moon's group; a short time afterwards)

On the meanwhile, returning to Sailor Moon's group, they are witnessing an important event in her history: The revelation of her being Princess Serenity. They witness Sailor Moon, in her 'first form', cradling Tuxedo Mask's/Darien's form and she sheds a tear which glows brightly causing the seven Rainbow Crystals to fly over and become the Imperium Silver Crystal.

Past Luna says, "The Rainbow Crystals…They are becoming one! The Imperium Silver Crystal!"

Past Artemis asks, curiously, "What happens now?"

Past Luna responds, "I don't know…Wait! Maybe the princess will be revealed!" Soon after, the Crescent Moon Wand appears in which the Imperium Silver Crystal attaches itself into where Past Sailor Moon, as if in a trance, gets to her feet.

Past Sailor Venus says, shocked, "It's Sailor Moon!"

Past Sailor Mercury says, in realization, "She's the moon princess!"

Past Sailor Mars states, amazed, "Who would have thought?" Soon after, the 'scene' shows Past Sailor Moon transforming into Princess Serenity for the first time.

Past Luna says, "We've finally found her, Artemis."

Past Artemis says, with a nod, "And it is about time." Afterwards, the scene shows Past Princess Serenity wielding the Silver Crystal for the first time and sending Zoisite into the wall, hard!

Astoflo says, with a winch, "Ouch! That had to hurt!"

Sailor Jupiter says, with a smirk, "That ass deserved that." But then the 'scene' switches from the event of Princess Serenity's awakening to a familiar lab where they find older, but still young Akihiko Kayaba working in the computer lab.

Sailor Pisces asks, confused, "Hold on, what's this?"

Sailor Mercury says, confused, "I don't know. I've never seen this memory before!"

Kazuto thinks in his mind, "I have an idea on what this is, but it should be impossible to draw it out from our minds since we NEVER saw this 'scene' before." Just then everyone witnesses Past Akihiko Kayaba then gasp, leap to his feet, and he grunts out in pain as he holds his head as a powerful aura surrounds his form. He then roars out in pain as his form switches between Heathcliff and Kayaba before his form returns back to Past Akihiko Kayaba causing him to nearly collapse only holding himself up by hanging onto the desk. When Past Akihiko Kayaba regains enough strength, he stands straight, wipes the sweat off his brow, and gains a sly smile.

Past Akihiko Kayaba says, slyly, "I see."

A security guard enters the room causing the security guard to say, "Sir, are you okay?"

Past Akihiko Kayaba says, "Yes, I am all right now. I had a bit…discomfort. However, it is passed." Past Akihiko Kayaba looks at the security guard with a kind smile and the security guard nods as he leaves the room. Past Akihiko Kayaba says, with a plain tone, "There can be only one reason for this." Past Akihiko Kayaba closes his eyes causing him to say, "So, Serenity, you have awakened at last." Past Akihiko Kayaba looks at a computer screen, displaying a rough sketch of Aincrad, and this causes Past Akihiko Kayaba to say, "Now, I know. I remember. Why I've always dreamed of this castle. Why I planned to do what I planned to do to bring it truly to life. Now, I know what I need to do." Past Akihiko Kayaba waves his hand over the computer screen causing the image on the screen to change to a picture of Princess Serenity, Kirito with a golden crescent moon sigil, and finally, Princess Selene, Suguha's/Sailor Celestial's 'royal form', in which Past Akihiko Kayaba says, "Fate has brought Serenity and I together again as we were in the past. I dare say that the universe may have a sadistic side after all. But I know that your brother and sister must be close by. Selene, I wonder how you and your brother will meet Serenity and I again. How much blood will be shed? How many tears will fall? I dare say that the future leaves me greatly interested though I do know that I will be ripping into the souls of my darling Selene and my beloved Serenity. Once again, I will be betraying them both as I have betrayed them ten centuries ago and throughout history. However, what is beyond that hill? Beyond the sky that my castle will fly? I shall not be satisfied until I see the new world to comes from our conflict to come." Past Akihiko Kayaba waves his hand and the computer screen returns to projecting the image of the sketch of Aincrad. Soon afterwards, the 'scene' vanishes, and our group is surrounded by the seemly endless 'floating' doorways.

Sailor Jupiter yells out, annoyed, "Okay, now I know that something fishy is really going on here! Sure, the piece of crud told us about how he awakened on the day that Sailor Moon awakened as Princess Serenity, but we never saw on what happened when he 'awoke'! That has to be fake!"

Just then a familiar male voice yells out, slyly, "You think so, you bimbo of an Amazon?!" Everyone looks to the source of the voice to find Kamen Rider Terra, his armor completely restored, walking over towards them.

Everyone gets into defensive stances and Tuxedo Mask shouts out, angrily, "Again?!"

Sailor Jupiter shouts out, irritated, "Who are you calling a bimbo, you murderous backstabber?!" Sailor Jupiter unleashes a powerful lightning bolt that PASSES THROUGH Kamen Rider Terra!

Sailor Pisces yells out, shocked, "What the?!"

Kazuto says, with a plain tone, "That's not him. It is a hologram or some kind of projection."

Archer says, with a nod, "You are most likely correct."

Tuxedo Mask says, with a sneer, "I'm not surprised since he is too much of coward."

Kamen Rider Terra says, "We'll see how cocky you are when I'm beating your face in."

Sailor Moon, currently back in her Valkyrie Sailor Scout form, asks, in a demanding tone, "What's your game this time?"

Kamen Rider Terra responds, with a taunting tone, "Game? What makes you think that I'm playing a game? But then again, you are quite used to deadly 'life and death games', aren't you?" Both Sailor Jupiter and Tuxedo Mask take a step forward causing Kamen Rider Terra to say, "Now, why do you think what happened after you saw Meatball Head's awakening as Princess Serenity is fake? While that part may not be her memories per say, they are still within Meatball Head's mind though she may not have been the one that put it in there. You already know that Kayaba put a lot of 'stuff' inside of her Earth brother's dorky mind, right? Via you-know-what, right? Well, he trapped your Sailor Moon in that hell for over two years! What makes you think that he didn't do the same with her? But then again, you know that already, don't you?"

There are gasps of shock and Sailor Moon asks, surprised, "What do you mean?"

Kamen Rider Terra says in reply, "Figure it out, Meatball Head." Kamen Rider Terra or, the hologram/projection of him, vanishes leaving the others alone in this dimension for the moment.

Sailor Moon looks at her friends and allies from her world causing her to ask, "Is what he said true?"

Sailor Mercury sighs causing her to respond, "When you were unconscious after the fight at the ruins of this world's Moon Kingdom, we examined you and…we believe so. We're not so sure how intensive the 'download' into your mind really is."

Sailor Moon becomes a bit nervous at this and Kazuto tells Sailor Moon, "Easy. We're not going to let him harm you in any way ever again. You know that."

Sailor Star says, with a nod, "That's right, Usagi-chan."

Sailor Moon says, with a nod of understanding, "I know. It is just…unnerving. The more answers that I get, the more questions that seem to pop up every time. The more I know about him, the less I TRULY KNOW him."

Sailor Jupiter says, "Just don't think about him, girlfriend."

Sailor Pisces says, nodding her head, "Yeah, you are going to go back into those 'deep dark places' and if that happens, Mars is going to be on you like glue!"

Sailor Moon says, sarcastically, "Don't remind me."

Chole says, "Man! It sounds like you have got it rough!"

Sailor Jupiter says, "You think that being super-heroes like us is all rainbows and unicorns? What you saw were the 'old days' when we were rookies, but these days, it is all toil, sweat, tears, blood, and more than half-a-dozen near death experiences."

Sailor Mercury says, nervously, "I believe that it was more than half-a-dozen and I don't think that we should be mentioning 'near death experiences'."

Sailor Mercury glances at Sailor Moon, Kazuto, and Sailor Star causing Sailor Jupiter to say, nervously, "Oops!"

Astoflo says, excitedly, "If you want near-death experience, I have a ton of tales to tell you!"

Sailor Jupiter says, nervously, "Yeah, I'm sure that you do, Astoflo-san."

Tuxedo Mask says, "However, let's focus on figuring a way out of this 'trap'. Most likely, it is a form a psychological warfare." Tuxedo Mask asks Sailor Mercury, Sailor Nebula, and Sailor Pisces, "Have you figured out anything?"

Sailor Nebula says, with a sigh, "Not a thing."

Sailor Pisces says, shaking her head, "Same here. I can't figure heads or tails of this dimension."

Sailor Jupiter says, "Well, at least we know that it isn't a Reality Marble. Reality Marbles last for only a few minutes and it is a projection of an 'inner world'. This isn't the case."

Rin says, with a nod, "Agreed. It seems to be a 'mystical alternate realm' that projects memories. Namely your memories."

Naruto says, with a sigh, "Believe it, Rin-san."

Sailor Galaxy asks, concerned, "Naruto-kun?"

Naruto tells Sailor Galaxy, with a foxy grin, "Hey, I'm okay, Hinata-chan. It isn't nice seeing my crappy past again…"

Sakura tells Naruto, interrupting with a flabbergasted tone, "Crappy? Crappy?! Naruto, calling your childhood 'hell' would be putting it nicely! Personally, I'm shocked that you would sugarcoat it even that much!" Sakura says, with a sigh, "But I guess that's why you are the strongest of all of us. I'll be honest. If I went through just a fraction of what you did, I would have either killed myself or gone and release your 'foxy tenant' if not some form of 'base revenge'. The path that you chose…it proves once and for all that you are stronger than Sasuke…stronger than any of us, Naruto."

Naruto says, with a smile, "Thanks, but to be honest, I didn't do it alone. A few people reached out to me and that helped me find the 'light in the dark'."

Sailor Galaxy says, with a warm smile, "And you spread that light to others, Naruto-kun. It's what makes you so great."

Sakura tells Sailor Galaxy, "Easy, Hinata. Stroke his ego and it will let him go to his head. Oh, wait! Too late for that." Naruto gives a mock annoyed look and Sakura tells Sailor Galaxy, "But now, I can see why you liked Naruto so much. You may have been the 'Hyuga Princess', but your life wasn't 'castle and servants' to say the least. Geez! I thought that the Hyuga were 'hard-nosed' before, but now I see that was a major understatement."

Naruto says, with a nod, "Yeah, I thought it was the reason why Neji ended up the way that he did before I literally knocked sense into him, and I was right, but…Geez, I'm wondering if they took cues from Danzo's ROOT program or something."

Sakura says, "Anyway, Darien is right. Let's not get too deep into our pasts. If this is another dimension of some kind, there has to be a gateway out of here, but going randomly through doors and reliving her history isn't going to do anything."

Kazuto says, nodding his head in agreement, "I agree with Darien and Sakura. Aimlessly walking through these doors and reliving our history isn't going to get us out of here."

Ken says, with a nod, "Ditto, Kazuto. However, none of our technology seems to be able to figure out a way from this realm."

Kazuto says, plainly, "I would be surprised if we would be able to."

Rin says, "That's quite obvious. Our enemies don't want us getting out."

Archer says, "It could also be a delaying tactics more than an attempt to imprison us."

Saber says, "I agree. Their actions suggest a delaying rather than restraining us."

Shirou says, "I don't know, Saber. We are pretty much trapped in here."

Archer says, "True. We are trapped until they want to release us."

Astoflo says, "And even if we found the door, it isn't like we have the key to it!"

Just then an idea hits Kazuto like a lightning bolt causing him to say, "That's it!"

Everyone looks at Kazuto and Sailor Star asks, curiously, "What's 'it', Kirito-kun?"

Kazuto says, with a sly smile, "Astoflo might have hit the nail on the head. We do have a key out of here." Kazuto extends his hand and summons out a Void Gear Keyblade causing those that don't know of the Keyblade to be surprised.

Shirou asks, "What is that?"

Astoflo says, "Looks like a strange key or something."

Kazuto says, with a smirk, "The key to getting us out of here!"

Sailor Moon says, excitedly, "You're right! Naruto, hurry!"

Naruto says, with a nod, "You got it, Moon girl!" Naruto quickly summons an Oathkeeper Keyblade while Sailor Moon summons a Destiny's Embrace Keyblade. Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Kazuto point their Keyblades forward and close their eyes in which the forward end of their Keyblades glow in which each Keyblade shoots off a beam of light that connects in front of them creating a massive keyhole.

Just then Kamen Rider Terra's voice booms out, "Hey, what the heck do you think you are doing?!"

Sailor Jupiter says, slyly, "Getting out of here!"

Sailor Nebula says, concerned, "Hurry!" Soon enough, everyone hears a 'click', like a lock being opened, and the giant keyhole turns into a portal that displays the facility that they just came from.

Musashi says, amazed, "Hey, that's where we just came from!"

Naruto's, Sailor Moon's, and Kazuto's eyes shoot open and Kazuto yells out, "Get out now!"

Astoflo says, excitedly, "Okay!" Astoflo grabs one of Sailor Jupiter's arms and hands causing Sailor Jupiter to blush in which Astoflo says, excitedly, "Time to go, Master!" Sailor Jupiter yelps as she is dragged into the portal by Astoflo.

Ritsuka yells out, "Let's go, Mash!"

Mash says, with a nod, "Yes, Master!" Ritsuka and Mash then follow Sailor Jupiter and Astoflo through the gateway in which Archer scoops up Rin into his arms causing her to blush.

Rin yells out, "Hey…!" However, before she can finish, Archer, with Rin in his arms, leaps into the portal.

Saber tells Shirou, "Let's go, Shirou."

Shirou says, with a nod, "Right." Saber and Shirou rush into the portal in which the others immediately rush through the gateway as the whole 'realm' that they are in starts to collapse.

After Ishtar, who looks back at the three of them for a brief moment before going through, goes through the gateway, Sailor Galaxy, Sailor Star, and Tuxedo Mask are the last ones to leave before Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Kazuto in which Tuxedo Mask yells out, "Hurry!"

Naruto says, "We're right behind you!"

Kazuto says, concerned, "Hurry!" Sailor Galaxy, Sailor Star, and Tuxedo Mask nod their heads in unison and go through the portal in which, afterwards, Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Kazuto follow through and the gateway closes just as the 'realm' itself seemly collapses. Back within the room where the group was before they were transported into that 'realm', Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Kazuto emerge from the gateway that they made which closes behind them.

Stingmon says, "We're out!"

Archer puts Rin down and he says, with a smile, "Sorry, Rin, but I knew that once they had created a way out, we had to move as fast as possible."

Rin responds, in her classic tsundere manner, "Of course, Archer. It is pretty obvious that we had to get out of there quickly since the enemy put us in that dimension." Rin tells Archer, sternly, "But next time, a little warning before doing that!"

Archer says, with a smile, "Yes, of course, Rin."

Sailor Pisces says, "Glad we're out of there."

But then Naruto's, Sailor Moon's, and Kazuto's 'senses' then 'go off' in which Kazuto yells out, seriously, "Watch out!" Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Kazuto turn towards the source of the danger that they are sensing with Kazuto using his Keyblade to block a downward strike from Kamen Rider Terra using red bladed rapier used by Genesis Rhapsodos.

Kamen Rider Terra asks, with a sneer in his voice, "You think you are so damn well smart, don't you?"

Kazuto responds, "We got out, didn't we?" Kamen Rider Terra snarls before ramming his armored kneecap into Kazuto's waist causing him to stumble, but before he could even start to recover, Terra grabs Kazuto and throws him like a rag doll into a wall where he slams into it, hard, causing a deep imprint into the wall and knocking him senseless though not suffering major injuries at all despite the sheer power of the impact.

Sailor Star and Sailor Moon say in unison, shocked and horrified, "Kirito-kun/Kirito!"

Naruto says, with an angered snarl, "That does it!" Naruto, without using the usual hand signs, creates seven Shadow Clones, via his Shadow Clone Jutsu, and attacks Kamen Rider Terra.

Kamen Rider Terra says, with a snarl, "Don't count on it, fox brat!" Kamen Rider Terra then unleashes a larger version of the Chakra Negator device that grabs onto Naruto's waist and binds him in four massive restraints causing him to yelp as he shocked as his chakra and all of his other abilities are sealed causing his Keyblade and Shadow Clones to dispel where he crashes to the floor, stomach first, in front of Terra where he ruthlessly kicks him into a large group of containers still in the room where he hits with a huge 'crash'!

Sailor Galaxy, Sakura, and Suguha, within Ishtar, who becomes wide-eyed at the event, yell out in unison, "Naruto/Naruto-kun/Naruto!"

Kamen Rider Terra shouts out, nastily, "But that's not all!" He then unleashes an immense Force Push that knocks everyone else into the ground and stunning nearly all of them.

Sailor Pisces asks, with a grunt, "How did he learn to do that?"

Sailor Moon struggles back to her feet causing Kamen Rider Terra to yell out, "And that's not all!" Kamen Rider Terra unleashes a powerful Force Lightning attack causing Sailor Moon to scream out in extreme pain and agony as the attack rips through her.

Sailor Nebula, Tuxedo Mask, and Suguha, from within Ishtar, scream out in unison, horrified, "Serena/Serena!" Soon after, Ishtar gasps as her ruby red eyes start to return Suguha's dark grey eyes while, on the meanwhile, Sailor Moon, her form smoking greatly, collapses to her knees while her Keyblade dispels, but before she could collapse to the ground, Tuxedo Mask catches her while Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury rush over. Tuxedo Mask glares at Kamen Rider Terra with greatly anger.

Tuxedo Mask tells Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Mercury, his anger evident in his voice, "Take care of her!" Before Sailor Jupiter or Sailor Mercury could stop him, Tuxedo Mask rushes at Kamen Rider Terra and transforming his cane into a sword in which Tuxedo Mask clashes with Kamen Rider Terra and his rapier in which Tuxedo Mask's attack hits with such power that it sends Kamen Rider Terra skidding backwards fifty yards.

Kamen Rider Terra grunts out, "Not bad. You are better than MANY of our counterparts."

Tuxedo Mask says, with a sneer, "At least, I'm not weak and cowardly like a worthless asshole like you! A disgrace to our counterparts in the multiverse! Lunar is right! You are an abomination!"

Kamen Rider Terra responds, annoyed, "We'll see about that!" The two of them engage in an intense swordfight where they start moving away from the others and quickly it turns into a stalemate in which Tuxedo Mask unleashes a barrage of roses in which all of the petals fly off and surround Kamen Rider Terra causing him, within his helmet, to evilly smirk, but he then gets a surprise as each rose petal explodes with a force of a grenade in which due to the fact that there are hundreds of them causing Kamen Rider Terra to get skidding backwards a good amount with his armor cracking in multiple places. Tuxedo Mask then follows through with an attack with several sword strikes managing not only to strike Kamen Rider Terra's armor, in fact, but also to break through it and meet flesh causing Kamen Rider Terra to yelp as he is cut. Kamen Rider Terra then growls in anger and he clashes his rapier with Tuxedo Mask's sword. Kamen Rider Terra says, "Okay, you are more than just an annoyance! I'll admit that! However, Darien, you should have known by witnessing our history: 'Those that don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it!' And you are going to find out!" Tuxedo Mask gives a confused look, but Sailor Moon, who is helped to her feet by Jupiter and Mercury, notices something some distance away from Tuxedo Mask's back where her eyes widen, knowing EXACTLY what it is.

As familiar memories come to her mind, Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, "No…" With a speed that she never had used before, Sailor Moon takes off, much to Jupiter's and Mercury's shock and disbelief. While Tuxedo Mask, a feeling of dread going through him, glances behind him only to see a black crystal spear about to impale him in the back with no way to escape in time! However, just before the spear strikes, Sailor Moon pushes Tuxedo Mask out of the way while the spear in the back causing her to cry out in extreme pain and agony as she is impaled by the spear.

Upon seeing this, everyone else, minus Naruto and Kazuto, gasp in shock and horror causing Yui, Sailor Star, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Nebula to scream out in pure terror and horror, "NO!" Tuxedo Mask is left speechless by the pure horror and terror coursing through him as he sees his beloved speared in the back! Kamen Rider Terra grabs the badly injured Sailor Moon her collar and leaps a good distance away from Tuxedo Mask while his helmet vanishes.

Kamen Rider Terra asks, in an evil sarcastic and taunting tone, "What this?! The mighty 'White Valkyrie' Sailor Moon falling for me?!"

Tuxedo Mask yells out, angrily, "Let her go now!" Tuxedo Mask leaps to his feet, but Kamen Rider Terra positions the badly injured and bleeding Sailor Moon between himself and the others.

Kamen Rider Terra says, taunting tone, "Hold it! You wouldn't want to hurt your precious Meatball Head any further!"

Saber yells out, angrily, "Coward!"

Sailor Moon says, weakly, "I…I won't…"

Kamen Rider Terra says, evilly, "Let's see if we can change your tune!" Kamen Rider Terra then creates a forcefield bubble around himself and Sailor Moon and a third eye appears on his forehead in which he says, with a wicked smirk, "That's right, Meatball Head! Prince Diamond's 'Evil Eye'! Let's see how strong your will is!" Kamen Rider Terra then uses the hypnotic power of the third eye on Sailor Moon causing her to gasp as her eyes lose their pupils and her body goes completely slack!

Sailor Jupiter yells out, strongly, "No!" Immediately, Sailor Nebula, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Jupiter, Sailor Star, and Tuxedo Mask start to pound on the forcefield, but the field's power is really strong, and they can't make a dent.

Sailor Mercury says, greatly concerned, "Don't give up!"

Sailor Nebula shouts out, fearfully, "Serena!"

Sailor Star says, completely fearful in her voice, "Usagi-chan! Serena-chan! Don't let him win! Don't give up!" However, due to her injuries and the attack on her mind, Sailor Moon's willpower is weakening and fading fast.

Sailor Moon thinks in her mind, weakly, "The pain…so much…it hurts…my mind…getting fuzzy…it…it is too much…I…I can't…"

But then a darker version of her voice yells out, "Is that all? Is that it?! After all that we have gone through…after all we have suffered…after all we have fought…this is it?! Is this how you honor those that have fallen?! Is this how you honor all those that have believed in you?! All those that love you?!" Once again, the images of Sailor Moon's life flashes through her eyes as, in her mindscape, she is confronted by a dark silver eyed version of herself which tells her, with a darker strong will tone, "I refuse to submit to that! I refuse to lose! I refuse to let fiends like that win ever again! If you can't do anything…!"

However, Sailor Moon responds to her 'darker self', "No…No, I can…I can do this…I WILL DO THIS…!" Sailor Moon then glares at her 'darker self' with determination in her eyes as she hears her friends and beloved screaming for her in her mindscape. Back out of Sailor Moon's mindscape, Sailor Moon closes her eyes.

Kamen Rider Terra yells out, with an evil smile, "I guess that's it! Do you surrender to me? Do you finally yield?"

Sailor Moon says, weakly at first, "I…I…" But then Sailor Moon's eyes shoot open, revealing her pupils have returned, causing her golden moon sigil to glow, in which she yells out, strongly, "I refuse to someone like you!" Sailor Moon's form glows a powerful silver and Kamen Rider Terra screams out as he is blown backwards away from Sailor Moon causing the forcefield to shatter, much to the shock and surprise of Terra and everyone else! Then a golden beam of energy comes from Sailor Moon's sub-space pocket and goes into Sailor Moon causing her to glow a mixture of silver and gold where the black crystal spear in her back shatters to pieces while her wound completely heals with her armor restoring itself!

Sailor Mercury says, shocked, "Her wound is completely healing!" As Kamen Rider Terra holds his third eye, which has completely closed due to the damage from the light coming from Sailor Moon's sigil, in pain, he glares at Sailor Moon, who glares back with determination in her eyes. Just then another beam of light comes out of Sailor Moon's sub-space pocket and takes the form of an 'orb of light' that transforms into a majestic, if not divine, blue-white spear.

Saber says, shocked, "My spear, Rhongomyniad!"

Shirou asks, shocked, "Huh?"

Rin says, "It's true! It is the spear of King Arthur! 'The Lance that Shines to the Ends of the World': Rhongomyniad!"

Mash and Ritsuka nod their heads in agreement causing Mash to ask, amazed, "But how did she get her hands on it?"

(Sword Art Online Alicization music 'Sacred Swords' starts)

Sailor Moon takes the sacred lance from another Earth into her hands causing it to resonate with her where Sailor Moon says, "Moon Saber Excalibur Style, Make-up!" Sailor Moon transforms into her Valhallan Valkyrie Sailor Scout form before transforming into the 'form' that makes her look similar to Saber (A/N: Refer to Chapter 9 for details.).

Those that didn't see that form before are surprised and Sailor Jupiter says, surprised, "Whoa! Sailor Moon has a new form! And she looks like…!" Sailor Jupiter glances over to Saber while Sailor Moon grabs onto Rhongomyniad with her right hand where then Sailor Moon's broach to open where the Silver Crystal is revealing, and it gives off a powerful silver light in which the divine lance gains a silver glow around it.

Kamen Rider Terra leaps away from Sailor Moon causing him to say, with a dark sneer, "You think that scares me? Think again, Meatball Head!" Kamen Rider Terra produces a sinister black crystal that gives off a sinister violet glow in his free hand where he says, with a sinister sly tone, "That's right! Doom Phantom's Black Crystal! The perfect counter to your little bobble! Try to top that!"

Sailor Moon says, with a shrug, "Okay." Kamen Rider Terra gives a confused look and a golden glow appears on the left side of Sailor Moon's armored skirt which forms into Excalibur inside its familiar sheath, Avalon.

There are surprised looks and Shirou says, stunned, "That's Avalon!"

Sailor Pisces asks, confused, "Where did she get that?"

Kamen Rider Terra says, with a snarl, "Oh, really? You think that's fair?! Now, you have invincibility cheat! And don't give an excuse about villains, like me, even though truthfully, don't 'play fair'! It is about you! And this is you! Do you really want to come down to my level? Guess little miss 'love and justice' has finally come down to a 'realistic level'!" Out of character, Sailor Moon doesn't respond, but she just silent takes off Avalon and Excalibur from her armored skirt with her free hand, gently sets them on the ground, and with one of her armored boots gently pushes it aside.

Sailor Jupiter yells out, "Don't listen to him, Sailor Moon! You have the edge! It's a trick!"

As if to confirm Sailor Jupiter's statement, Kamen Rider Terra yells out, with an evil smile, "Thank you…for being a Meatball Headed baka!" Kamen Rider Terra fires a powerful dark violet energy beam right at Sailor Moon and Sailor Moon responds by unleashing a powerful silver beam from Rhongomyniad. The two attacks collide with each other mid-way between the two combatants and the collision of powers causing a massive shockwave that shakes the whole area with the violence equal to a VERY significant earthquake!

Ken says, "Hang on!" The whole area greatly shakes as Terra and Sailor Moon clash, but then Tuxedo Mask gets behind Sailor Moon and puts his arm around Sailor Moon's arm holding the divine spear causing Sailor Moon to look at her beloved where Tuxedo Mask smiles at her causing Sailor Moon to smile back.

Kamen Rider Terra says, with a nasty sneer and sarcastic tone, "Look at love bird! How lovely! You can't do anything alone!"

Sailor Moon yells out, strongly with a determined tone, "Even if that's true, it isn't a weakness! It is my strength! It is like I told that egotistical jerk, the so-called 'King of Heroes', Gilgamesh: You are one and I am many! I can stand on my own legs, but when I can't stand anymore, the people I love bring back up and allow me to carry on! And that's why you WILL NEVER beat me! Come forth, silver dragon of the moonlight! Silver Moon Final Dragon Thrust!" Sailor Moon roars out as more power is sent into the attack and she thrusts Rhongomyniad forward causing more powerful beam to be sent out which takes the form of a mighty Asian-style dragon that negates Terra's attack.

Kamen Rider Terra yells out, flabbergasted, "WHAT?!" He then roars out in extreme pain and agony as the attack seemly goes through him and silver light bursts out of his armored form before he 'explodes' in silver light forcing everyone to cover their eyes from the massive explosion of light!

Ritsuka yells out, "I can't see!"

Mash says, amazed, "Such power!" Just then there is a loud 'bang' that engulfs Kamen Rider Terra in a lot of smoke and debris.

(Sword Art Online Alicization music 'Sacred Swords' ends)

Sailor Moon takes a large gulp of air due to the exhaustion, but then out of the smoke and debris, Kamen Rider Terra bursts out, showing his armor is GREATLY damaged, his form smoking, and multiple cuts and burns on his face, where he charges straight for Sailor Moon.

Kamen Rider Terra yells out, in a pure fury, "You BITCH!" Tuxedo Mask prepares to leap forward to protect his beloved and attack his evil counterpart.

"Scorch Style: Solar Flare Rasengan!"

However, before Tuxedo Mask can move to counter his 'evil doppelganger', a sphere of golden-red chakra, like a mini-sun, slams into Kamen Rider Terra causing him to scream out in agony as he is sent skidding backwards while the sphere of scorching hot chakra tears into his armor's left side leaving a massive burn mark in his armor while nearly destroying it in the area where the sphere hit.

Naruto's voice booms out, "Forgetting someone, you nutjob of a backstabber?" Everyone looks to the source of the attack finding Naruto, freed from the restraint put on him, and there is someone else by his side.

The person with Naruto looks to be a lovely young woman with long pink hair tied in two ponytails by a blue bow, a pair of orange-brown fox ears coming out of her scalp, yellow eyes, black and white collar around her neck, and her outfit is a blue kimono-like dress that doesn't cover her shoulders and the top quarter of her upper arms, thick black, white, and blue sleeves that cover most of her arms from her wrists up to the lower half of her upper arms, blue stockings that cover up to the bottom half of thighs, and a pair of black open strap-on platform shoes/sandals on her feet. There is also a bushy orange fox-tail coming out of her tailbone area.

Sakura asks, surprised by the 'fox woman' with Naruto, "Who in the world?"

Ritsuka yells out, shocked, "Tamamo-no-Mae!"

The 'fox woman' says, excitedly, "Oh, hi, Ritsuka!"

Naruto asks the 'fox woman', "Guess I shouldn't be surprised that you know Ritsuka, Tamamo?"

The 'fox woman' responds, with a smile, "Oh, yes, Master Naruto! We know each other very well!"

Sailor Pisces asks, confused, "Wait! I thought that we, the Sailor Scouts, were the only ones that we can summon Heroic Spirits due to us possessing a power similar to the Heaven's Feel true magic of their universe and contact with the Counter Force! What the heck?"

Naruto says in reply, nervously, "Yeah, I'll explain later."

Kamen Rider Terra uses nanobots to turn his right arm into high-tech futuristic laser and he screams out, angrily, "Okay, I think that it is time for the 'fox hunt' and I see a pair of foxes to mount on my wall!"

But then a whistle is heard and Suguha's voice booms out, "Did you invent that yourself or did you have a cheat sheet, pal?" Everyone looks to the source of Suguha's voice to seem see Ishtar aiming a rainbow colored 'bullet' of magical energy from her right hand, 'formed' into the shape of a gun, and she fires the 'magical bullet' right into Terra's armored waist in which he roars out in pain as it slams into him causing him to skid backwards.

Kamen Rider Terra says, with a snarl, "You…!"

Just then another familiar voice, a male one, yells out, "Forgetting someone else?!" Kamen Rider Terra turns to the source of the voice only to roar out in pain as he is slashed in his armored chest by Kazuto, back on his feet.

Sailor Star says, excitedly, "Kirito-kun!" Kazuto leaps back over to the others where he gets in-between Kamen Rider Terra and Sailor Moon with Tuxedo Mask. On the meanwhile, 'Ishtar' lands nearby, but everyone notices that her 'outfit' has a metallic shine to it, showing that it has become like armor, she is wearing a pair of golden armored high-heeled shoes, and her eyes weren't Ishtar's ruby red eyes, but Suguha's grey eyes.

Kazuto asks, surprised, "Sugu?"

'Ishtar' then says, with a major blush on her cheeks while wrapping her arms around her chest, "Don't ask! Seriously, don't ask and don't look!" 'Ishtar', who is revealed to be Suguha, who has regained control of her body and wearing an armored version of Ishtar's outfit, glares at Kazuto with a dangerous glare causing him to yelp and take a step back.

Sailor Galaxy says, nervously, "I believe that's Suguha."

Sailor Jupiter says, nervously, "Yep!"

Kamen Rider Terra says, with a snarl, "You…!" Kamen Rider Terra then screams out in pain as dark violet 'smoke' comes off his armored form and he grunts out, glaring at Suguha, "You! What did you do to me?!"

Suguha says, with a sly smirk, "For once, this spoiled princess of a goddess that you latched onto my very being came in handy including inflicting some nasty curses on you." Kamen Rider Terra screams out in pain and agony as more dark violet 'smoke' comes from his form where he convulses and contorts causing him to scream out in pure extreme agony before he teleports away.

Sailor Pisces asks, "What kind of curse did you inflict on him?"

Suguha says, with a plain tone with a sight nervous look, "You don't want to know."

Sakura says, a bit nervously, "Don't tell." On the meanwhile, Sailor Moon uses her Force powers to bring Avalon, still containing Excalibur, back to her, reattach it to the left side of her skirt, and with a flash of light, Sailor Moon reverts back to her Valkyrie Sailor Scout form and still holding divine spear, however, Sailor Moon drives the spear into the floor and leans against it to make sure that she doesn't collapses to the ground.

Tuxedo Mask says, wrapping his arms around Sailor Moon to support her with a concerned tone, "Serena!"

Everyone looks at Sailor Moon where she says, weakly, "I…I'm okay."

Sailor Mercury says, her visor active and has her mini-computer out, "No, you aren't! Your wound has healed, but you lost a significant amount of blood before it healed and your expended a lot of energy. You are barely holding yourself together!"

Rin says, "Avalon can heal almost any wound, but it can't replace blood or restore mana."

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nod, "Rin-san is right. You are far from okay, Sailor Moon!"

Naruto's, Kazuto's, and Sailor Moon's 'senses' then 'go off' causing Naruto to say, "Oh, great! Trouble!" Naruto and Kazuto immediately look in one direction in which when everyone else looks in that direction, Kirei Kotomine, walking towards them.

Those that know him gasp in shock and Shirou asks, shocked, "Kotomine!"

Kirei says, with a sinister sly smile, "Hello, Shirou Emiya. It is good to see you, Saber, and Rin again."

Rin says, with a sneer, "Sorry if we don't feel the same way. Last time that any of us saw you…you were thankfully dead."

Kirei says, with a nod, "Indeed." Kirei says, looking at Shirou, "In one timeline, I was stabbed by the dagger that I gave you when I had the power of the Grail in my hands." Kirei then looks at Rin causing him to say, "In another timeline, I was killed by my newest Servant that I 'acquired' when your Servant betrayed and used you in order to kill his younger self." Kirei gives a sinister grin at Archer causing him to frown where Kirei says, looking back at Shirou, "And in a third, you and I fight to the death with both of us killing each other and you only surviving thanks to that Illya giving up her life to restore yours as well as exorcising the evil from the Grail."

Shirou's eyes widen at this causing him to say, "Well, I'm not that Shirou I'm sorry to say."

Kirei says, with an evil smile, "Yes, you aren't. That Shirou Emiya was WAY more powerful than you since his projection magic was at a higher level. In fact, that Shirou Emiya took down his version of Berserker singled handed." Rin, Shirou, and Saber are shocked by this and Kirei says, "But then again, thanks to your new 'enhancements', I'm sure that you have the potential to go beyond that, however, you won't get the chance."

Shirou asks, with a glare, "Why is that?"

Kirei says, with an evil smile, "You will find out soon enough. However, my 'business' is not with you." Kirei looks at the weakened Sailor Moon, Kazuto, and Suguha where he takes out what looks like half-a-dozen short red 'T' shaped hilts in which long and thin rapier-like blades 'grow' from them.

Sailor Jupiter says, "Watch it! Those are his 'Black Keys', special weapons given to people of his 'profession'. They are magical and spiritual weapons and while they can't kill anyone, especially since they are used to fight spirits, but they are still very nasty especially for someone like him with expertise with them."

Kirei says, with a nod, "Indeed. And thanks to my new 'associates', here, I have been restored to my prime before I had to rely on Angra Mainyu where I have enhanced beyond that. It is interesting to see how my new abilities will work against you."

Naruto says, "Did you forget? There is just one of you and a whole lot of us."

Kirei says, with a sinister smirk, "Really, Namikaze-san? I think that you should count again." Kirei then snaps his fingers and out of the concrete ground, a legion of 'undead' warriors comes out of the ground.

Sailor Pisces yelps and she yells out, nervously, "What the heck?!"

Kirei says, with an evil smile, "I had studied magecraft under Rin's father and under Tokiomi, I had studied many fields including alchemy, summoning, necromancy, and much more, but the only thing that I performed well with, at the time, was spiritual healing. However, thanks to my new improvements, I have a few new tricks."

Rin says, with a sneer, "I'm not surprised. Pieces of garbage like you have to have slimy tricks to win."

Kirei says, "I believe that you and Shirou don't have a right to say in that since both of you had fathers would perform such things and did so back during the Fourth Holy Grail War."

Rin yells out, angrily, "You son of a bitch! Don't you dare compare my father to you, you worthless piece of scum!"

Shirou tells Rin, "Calm down, Rin! He is just trying to get under your skin!"

Kazuto says, plainly, "And succeeding."

Sakura says, with a nod, "Big time."

Kirei asks, with a sinister smile, "Now, shall we begin?" But then a section of the vast wall in the area is destroyed in a strong explosion causing everyone to focus at the source of the explosion and, before the smoke and dust clear, a 'blur' comes through the hole and zips over to Kirei so fast that he has no time to react as he is sent flying as the 'blur' slams into him where he slams into the opposing wall behind him where he leaves an imprint of himself on the wall due to the sheer force of the impact.

When the 'blur' is airborne, Sailor Mercury yells out, "Fenrir!"

Matt yells out, "MetalGarurumon!" Immediately, MetalGarurumon and Sailor Mercury's Valkyrie 'familiar' unleash powerful freezing attacks that freezes the mass of Kotomine's undead warriors solid in which they shatter into pieces soon after.

Tai says, excitedly, "Great shot!"

WarGreymon asks, curiously, "But what was that?"

A familiar female voice shouts out, "What do you think WarGreymon?" Everyone looks to the source of the voice to see Valkyrie Sailor Uranus landing in front of them.

Sailor Mercury says, excitedly, "Uranus!"

Sailor Uranus says, "It seems like you have found some 'new friends' so to speak." Sailor Uranus looks at the group, spots Suguha, and this causes her to ask, surprised, "Suguha?"

Suguha responds, with a deadly glare and blush on her cheeks, "Not…one…word…!"

Sailor Uranus says, nervously, "Okay…" Sailor Uranus then asks, curiously, "Hold it! What is that weird aura from you? It feels like there are two people in front of me, not just you! What's going on?"

Sailor Jupiter tells Sailor Uranus, "That's because Suguha has an 'unwanted guest' in her body. Heard of the goddess Ishtar?"

Sailor Uranus asks, surprised, "Say what now?"

Kazuto says, with a sigh, "Long story."

Kirei's voice calls out, "So, another of you has arrived." Everyone looks towards the source of Kirei's voice to find him, completely uninjured, walking towards them.

Shirou asks, surprised, "How are you unharmed by that?"

Kirei responds, "As I have stated before, my new 'associates' have given many new improvements. Now…" Kirei snaps his fingers and monsters from Final Fantasy XIII universe, Luminous Puma, cyber/mechanical feline monsters, and Vespid Soldiers, cyber/mechanical huge bee/hornet style monsters, appear all around Kirei. Everyone else gets into defensive stances where Kirei states, with a sly smile, "Now, where were we?"

Sailor Uranus replies, slyly, "About to get surprised yet again!" Just then a familiar small blue feathered dragon appears over Sailor Uranus' head.

There are surprised looks, especially by those that know who that dragon is, causing Sailor Moon to ask, weakly, "P-Pina?" The small blue feathered dragon, Pina, unleashes a barrage of bubbles that hits all of the monsters causing them to become stunned and confused while Kirei easily manages to avoid the attacks. And then with a mighty battle cry, Lisbeth leaps onto the scene and bashes her mace, using a Mace Sword Skill, down on one of the Luminous Puma, taking it down.

Sailor Star says, amazed, "Liz!" Soon after, Silica and Philia make their appears where they use their Dagger Sword Skills to take down two more Luminous Puma.

Kazuto says, stunned, "Silica! Philia!"

Just then another familiar female voice yells out, "Don't forget us too!" Soon after, Rain and Lux, both of whom are in their ALO forms, fly in and take down multiple Vespid Soldiers.

Sailor Star asks, amazed yet a bit confused, "Rain? Lux?" On the meanwhile, Sailor Uranus spots Kirei and charges in for the attack.

When she sees this, Sailor Jupiter shouts out, really concerned, "No, wait!" However, it is too late as Sailor Uranus attempts to knock out Kirei, but Kirei, using his extensive combat training, easily avoids the attack and strikes a one-two punch that knocks Sailor Uranus back and knocks her helmet, breaking it half as well!

Tuxedo Mask says, worriedly, "Uranus!"

Sailor Jupiter yells out, worriedly, "That guy is Kirei Kotomine and he was trained to be a killer of mages! He is a master of hand to hand combat and in his prime, he matched Kiritsugu Emiya, the 'Mage Killer'!"

Shirou asks, surprised, "My dad?!"

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nod, "Yeah! He matched your dad even though he used a version of his family's 'Time Magic' known as 'Time Alter', an ability that increased his physical movements and reaction time making him fast far beyond regular humans…for a price! In fact, he matched him even though he quadrupled his speed!"

There are shocked looks from Rin, Shirou, and Saber and Rin says, stunned, "Incredible!"

Saber says, with a serious tone, "And with what Kotomine said is true, he is beyond that time now!" Back with the fight, Kirei quickly dominates the fight with Sailor Uranus, who without her Valkyrie armor to protect her, would be suffering MAJOR injuries though even with her armor, she grunts out in pain as she feels her body getting bruised with every blow.

Kirei says, "My new 'allies' have told me all about you. Your element is wind and thus, you also have super-speed on your side. In my fight with Kiritsugu Emiya, he used a variation of time magic that increased his movements and reactions through he damages his body in the process in which, without the help of Avalon, Excalibur's sheath, he would have destroyed himself! And even then, with the ability to move four times as fast, I still matched him despite losing an arm and suffering stab wounds in the process. Now, thanks to my enhancements, I am able to reach speeds that Shirou Emiya's father could only dream of!" Sailor Uranus blocks another punch from Kirei by crossing her arms, but weight of the blow causing her to flinch and get sent skidding back ten yards. Kirei then charges in with an attack to strike and destroy Sailor Uranus' heart in which Kirei says, with a sadistic smile, "Now, I can't wait to see your precious leader's face as you die by my hand!"

Sailor Jupiter shouts out, fearfully, "Watch out! He's going to destroy your heart!"

Sailor Uranus says, with a snarl, "Not today! Here's my next surprise! Hyper Mode!" Just then Sailor Uranus glows as her wings completely vanish and before Kirei's attack can hit her chest plate around the area of her heart, Sailor Uranus 'vanishes' in a blur!

Kirei asks, shocked, "What?!" Kirei yelps as another 'blur' hits him causing him to stumble, but before he can recover, he is hit again by said 'blur'. Then he is hit again by the 'blur'. And then for a third time by this 'blur' then revealed to be Sailor Uranus, who has lost her wings from her backside, but she has a smirk on her face. Kirei says, plainly, "I'm not sure what kind of trick that you pulled, but it won't help you." Kirei tries to strike Sailor Uranus, again, but his attacks seemly passes through her form causing Kirei to ask, confused, "What?" Kirei then attacks Sailor Uranus, again and again, with punches and kicks, but all of his attacks seemly pass through Sailor Uranus' form. Kirei says, plainly, "An illusion."

Sailor Uranus says, shaking her head, "No. Look at my feet." When Kirei looks down at Sailor Uranus' feet, his eyes widen in shock as he sees a deep groove in the floor around Sailor Uranus' armored feet.

Everyone else sees that too and Archer says, realizing, "Incredible."

Rin asks Archer, "What is it?"

Saber says, also realizing what's happening, "She is moving with such speed that normal eyes can't perceive her movements. Even us, Heroic Spirits, can't seem to perceive her movements. To us, she is standing still, and the attacks are passing through her when in fact, she is moving so fast that we can't see her movements."

Mash says, shocked, "Incredible!"

Kirei says, shocked when realizing this fact, "No. Impossible!"

Sailor Uranus says, with a sly smirk, "Oh, it is possible. You should know. You were informed by your new 'friends', pal. We're super-human ourselves. Our powers also enhance our strength, speed, agility, dexterity, and our other 'physical abilities' and at this level, we are way past regular humans. However, this is my special power. It is called obviously 'Hyper Mode' and while I lose the ability to fly, it increases my speed to…well, let's just say that I can be like 'teleporting'. If you don't believe me…" Before Kirei could say or do anything, he yelps out in pain as Sailor Uranus hits him on the nose, breaking his nose, and faster than the eye can perceive, Sailor Uranus hits Kirei in the waist about several dozen times causing him to stumble back as his ribs become GREATLY bruised. Sailor Uranus says, with a smirk, "Well, at least they improved your durability. You can take a hit better than anyone. Good, I like a decent punching bag." Kirei snarls and tries to attack Sailor Uranus, however, all this results in, as Sailor Uranus just said, Kirei becoming Sailor Uranus' 'punching bag' with super-fast attacks that Kirei has no hope of countering due to the sheer speed. At one point, Sailor Uranus rams her kneecap into Kirei's waist, resulting in two broken ribs, and unleashes a powerful spin kick that dislocates Kirei's left arm causing him to yell out in pain. Thinking quickly, Kirei takes out three of his Black Keys using his remaining right hand and launches them at Sailor Uranus where she easily kicks them out of the way, however, this action distracts her long enough for Kirei to leap far enough away to have enough time to reset his arm with a sickening 'crack'.

Sailor Pisces says, with a disgusted tone, "Oh, disgusting!"

Kirei thinks in his mind, "I underestimated these people from these other universes. I based my calculations on the information that my new 'associates' have, but it seems like they made sure to keep enough secrets about themselves. Plus, some of them are gaining new levels of power not known by them and those that were weakened are recovering in short order. With my surprise attack disrupted, it is best that I withdraw." Sailor Uranus prepares to attack, again, but Kirei, moving quickly, draws six move Black Keys and launches them at Sailor Uranus.

Sailor Uranus yells out, "Is that all?!" Sailor Uranus quickly draws out her Space Sword and uses it to shatter the Black Keys to pieces, but the pieces then explode and spreading a white smoke all over the area covering everyone and everything causing everyone to be blinded. However, Sailor Uranus uses her wind powers to easily dispel the smoke causing everyone to see that Kirei has vanished from the area!

Sailor Galaxy says, surprised, "He's gone!"

Sakura says, with a plain tone, "I'm not surprised. The smokescreen was a cover for him to escape."

Sailor Uranus says, with a plain tone, "Next time, he won't be so lucky."

As Sailor Uranus' wings reappear behind her back, Sailor Jupiter says, "Next time, you might not be so lucky, Uranus. He is a classic 'mastermind' and it is only because you had that 'ace-in-the-hole' that he didn't know about is the reason that you aren't in worse shape."

Sailor Uranus says, looking at Mercury and Jupiter, "Huh? You…You've gained Ark Valkyrie powers!"

Sailor Jupiter says, with a grin, "Yep! You noticed!" Sailor Jupiter says, pointing to Mercury, "Actually, Mercury, like Venus, had achieved this form earlier, but she kept it for a 'rainy day'."

Sailor Mercury says, a bit nervously, "It wasn't like I was trying to keep a secret."

Sailor Uranus says, glancing at Ritsuka and Mash, "It looks like Ritsuka found his girlfriend."

Ritsuka and Mash blush at that and Sailor Pisces says, with a sigh, "Cut it out, Amara."

Sailor Uranus asks, looking at Sailor Pisces, "Wait! Yolei?!"

Sailor Pisces says, with a smile, "Yep! Sailor Pisces of the Zodiac Sailor Scouts at your service!"

Lisbeth, who with Silica, Philia, Rain, and Lux, have finished off the monsters and when she overhears this, Lisbeth says, shocked, "Whoa! No way!"

Kazuto says, with a smile, "Yes, way, Liz."

Silica says, amazed, "That's amazing, Yolei."

Lisbeth asks, in her usual manner, "Anyway, what kept you guys for so long?"

Sailor Star says, a bit nervously, "Sorry. We've been fighting all over the place."

Sailor Uranus says, "Same here." Sailor Uranus says, looking at Rin, Archer, Shirou, Saber, and Chole, "And it looks like you found some 'new friends'. I'm the same way."

Just then a familiar female voice shouts out, "There you are!" Soon after, Seven, El-Melloi II, both versions of Argo, and various others come through the hole that Sailor Uranus, Lisbeth, Silica, Philia, Rain, and Lux just came through.

Rin asks, surprised, "Lord El-Melloi the Second?"

Shirou asks Rin, "You know him?"

Rin says, with a nod, "Yes, Shirou. He is one of the leading professors in the Clock Tower."

Sailor Jupiter says, "And a surviving Master of the Fourth Fuyuki Holy Grail War."

Saber and Shirou give looks of shock and Shirou asks, surprised, "He fought in the Fourth Holy Grail War?"

El-Melloi II responds, "That's correct. It is interesting to see you, again, Saber. I am the former Master of Rider of that war." When Ritsuka and Mash comes over, he says, "Ritsuka, it is good to see you and Mash again."

Ritsuka asks, surprised, "So, you are the same Lord El-Melloi that we know?"

El-Melloi II replies, a bit irritated, "Yes, but it is Lord El-Melloi THE SECOND, if you please."

Ritsuka says, nervously, "Sorry."

Rin asks, surprised, "You know them, sir?"

Mash says, "It is a long story, Rin-san."

Sailor Jupiter says, "That means that you still a Pseudo-Servant with you acting as the 'vessel' of the Heroic Spirit of Zhuge Kongming or Zhuge Liang."

There are surprised looks from Rin and Shirou in which El-Melloi II responds, "You are correct, young lady."

Rin asks, shocked, "You are a Pseudo-Servant?!"

El-Melloi II replies, "That's correct, Rin. I am Zhuge Liang's vessel. However, Zhang Liang has left me, El-Melloi the Second, in charge of our 'fused form'."

Sailor Jupiter says, "That's typical of some cases of Pseudo-Servants. It isn't just Divine Spirits that are turned into Pseudo-Servants. There are cases of Heroic Spirits, for one reason or another, can't materialize as Servants in the usual fashion and like Divine Spirits, they have to take human vessels. Also, the 'Spirits' may also decide to let their 'vessels' personalities' to be the one to have control over their 'form'."

El-Melloi II says, with a nod, "You must be one of the two young ladies from this young lady's universe that knows our universe so well."

Sailor Uranus looks to see Sailor Moon, still recovering and wielding Rhongomyniad, causing Sailor Uranus to ask, "Sailor Moon, what's that spear? I'm sensing a 'divine aura' coming from it. What is that?"

When El-Melloi II sees the divine spear, he gives a shocked look causing him to ask, "Is that Rhongomyniad?!"

Sailor Jupiter gives an alarmed look, looks at Sailor Moon, and that's where she says, "Oh, man! I forgot about that!" Sailor Jupiter tells Sailors Mercury, Nebula, and Pisces, "The three of you scan Sailor Moon!"

The three mentioned Sailor Scouts look at Sailor Jupiter causing Sailor Nebula to ask, "Huh? Why?"

Sailor Jupiter says, with a very serious tone, "Just do it now!" Mercury, Nebula, and Pisces active their visors and take out their mini-computers in a bit of a panic due to the harshness of Sailor Jupiter's serious tone of voice.

As the three Sailor Scouts scan Sailor Moon, Sailor Pisces says, "I don't see what you are worried…!" Just then Sailor Mercury's, Sailor Nebula's, and Sailor Pisces's expression become confused at what they see.

WarGreymon asks, "What's up?"

Sailor Nebula says, confused, "This is unusual…"

Tuxedo Mask asks, curiously, "What do you mean?"

Sailor Mercury says, confused, "That spear…Rhongomyniad…seems to be sending energy into Sailor Moon's body."

Sailor Moon asks, confused, "Say what?" However, a feeling of dread goes over Ritsuka, Mash, Sailor Jupiter, and El-Melloi II.

Ritsuka says, nervously, "Uh oh."

El-Melloi II shouts out, "Gray!" Just then a young teenage girl of around 16 years of age with grey hood covering her head, but her silver hair and blue-green eyes can be seen, black vest with a black cape that has a white furry collar, black gloves over her hands, grey plaid skirt, black thigh-high socks/stockings, and black boots with platform soles and heels on her feet.

The young teenage girl says, "Sir!" The young teenage girl then sees Saber, gasps in shock, and causes her to say, "You…You are…!"

El-Melloi II tells the young teenage girl, seriously, "Gray, this isn't the time! Do you have Add with you?"

The young teenage girl replies, with a nervous nod, "Yes, sir!" The young teenage girl, Gray, takes out a cage that seems to contain a small box that has a face with yellow eyes.

Just then the 'box' shouts out, "Yo, it is about time! What's the big idea of…?!" Soon after, the 'box' spots Rhongomyniad and the 'box' shouts out, "Hey there, little missy, you shouldn't be swinging that thing around! That's not a baton for a cheerleading group!"

Sailor Jupiter says, "She knows that wise guy! Just seal it already!" Sailor Jupiter tells Sailor Moon, "Sailor Moon, you have to give Rhongomyniad to them now!"

Sailor Moon gives a look of surprise and Saber asks, seriously, "What do you think you are doing?"

Sailor Jupiter responds, "Add is a Mystic Code created to seal and keep Rhongomyniad safe! It was created…after the 'fall of Camelot' by your people!" Saber gives a look of surprise and Sailor Jupiter tells Sailor Moon, "Do it now, Sailor Moon!" At that moment, Sailor Moon gets a version of a silver haired version of herself, but this silver haired version of Sailor Moon has cold emotionless look in her eyes.

This scares our Moon Princess to the core and Sailor Moon says, holding out Rhongomyniad, "Here!"

Gray runs over to Sailor Moon causing her to say, "Add!" The cage separates and Add glows as he seemly 'swallows' Rhongomyniad in which the cage reforms around the small sized Mystic Code.

Astoflo says, amazed, "Wow! He swallowed that lance whole!"

El-Melloi II says, "That was close."

Sailor Jupiter says, with a nod, "No joke!"

Saber asks, looking at Add, "So, this is a Mystic Code designed to keep Rhongomyniad sealed and safe?"

El-Melloi II says, "That's correct, Saber. It was created to keep Rhongomyniad sealed so it wouldn't lose its Mystery."

Sailor Uranus asks, "Mind filling the 'peanut gallery' in?"

Sailor Pisces responds, sarcastically, "Oh, nothing much. Darien's evil doppelganger attacks, she takes a blow meant for boyfriend in two lifetimes, gets impaled in the back, and then she suffers a mental attack by said evil doppelganger trying to brainwash her…"

There are shocked looks by Sailor Uranus, Lisbeth, Silica, Philia, Lux, Rain, and Seven causing Lisbeth to yell out, shocked, "Say what now?!"

Tai replies, with a solemn and sarcastic tone of voice, "Just the same old, Liz."

Philia says, "It sounds like you've had a rough time."

Kazuto says, "Rough doesn't describe it. But right now, we need to ask: Why do you look like that? And, those were Sword Skills. No insult, Philia…Kotone, but you…"

Silica says, as Pina lands on her head, "It is quite a bit of a story."

Seven says, with a smile, "This is all thanks to our new special powers!"

Sailor Pisces asks, surprised, "Wait! New powers?!"

Sakura then asks, plainly, "Wait! Don't tell me! UNI-SHOCKER, right?"

Seven says, looking at Sakura, "Yep! And it looks like you, Naruto, and Hinata went through the same thing…again."

Naruto says, with an annoyed tone, "Don't remind us."

Sailor Star asks, concerned, "Are you okay?"

Lisbeth says, with a grin, "Right as rain, Asuna! And we're loving this! You aren't going to believe what we can do now!"

Sailor Star looks around and asks, concerned, "Wait! Where's Yuuki-chan?"

Silica says, solemnly, "Sorry, Asuna…"

Sailor Uranus says, with a plain tone, "They told me that she was separated from them once they were captured."

Sailor Star says, worriedly, "Yuuki-chan…"

Kazuto tells Sailor Star, "Don't worry, Asuna. We'll find her."

Sailor Star nods her head and Astoflo tells Sailor Jupiter, "Wow, Master! Your friends are really something else!"

Plenty of the 'newcomers' are confused, and Sailor Uranus asks Sailor Jupiter, "Master?"

Sailor Jupiter responds, nervously, "That's a bit of story in itself…"

Chole says, "If you are done with the reunion, you do know that we are in enemy territory and you are supposed to be stopping them from messing up all of existence."

Kazuto says, "Chole-san is right. We don't have time to talk. We need to stop UNI-SHOCKER's plans and now."

Sailor Jupiter asks, "Wait! But what about…?"

Kazuto replies, plainly, "HE is a MAJOR concern, but until we have a very good idea of EXACTLY what he wants, we can't be concerned about him. He has to be the furthest thing from our minds."

Philia asks, curiously, "Him?"

Silica asks, curiously, "Who is 'him', Kirito?"

Sailor Pisces says, sarcastically, "The 'Man of Legend' AKA the 'Demon King of Aincrad' decided to make a third appearance."

Sailor Uranus, Lisbeth, Philia, Silica, Lux, Rain, and Seven gasp in shock causing Sailor Uranus to shout out, flabbergasted, "No way! No freaking way!"

Lisbeth asks, shocked beyond belief, "Yeah, no kidding! He's dead! Beyond dead! We were there! He…He's gone!"

Suguha says, with a serious expression, "He's back, Liz. Without a doubt. It isn't one of his alternate timeline counterparts. It's him!" Suguha thinks in her mind, curiously, "Though he does feel different…"

Lisbeth slaps her forehead causing her to say, flabbergasted, "You have got to be kidding me! How many times do we have to kill that guy for him to stay dead and gone FOREVER?! This is getting ridiculous!"

Suguha says, with a sigh, "You said it."

Lisbeth says, with a sly smirk, "By the way…love the new look, Suguha!"

Suguha gains a mad blush, covers her chest with her arms, and she yells out, embarrassed and irritated, "Shut it, Liz!"

Sailor Moon gives a sigh and Tuxedo Mask says, plainly to change the subject, "Anyway…" But then a mysterious 'cold wind' sweep through the group and Sailor Uranus immediately 'senses' something.

Shirou asks, curiously, "Wind?"

Rin says, seriously, "I don't think so."

Sailor Uranus says, plainly, "That's right. That wasn't normal wind. We're the only living things in this room, but we're not alone."

Sailor Pisces asks, nervously, "The only living things, but we're not alone?"

Astoflo yells out, excitedly, "She means that there are ghosts in this room!"

Tamamo-no-Mae, Tamamo for short, says, pointing in front of Sailor Star, "Like that one right there!" Everyone then looks to see a 'white mass' in front of Sailor Star causing her, Sailor Moon, and Naruto to go pale in which Sailor Star gives a high-pitched scream where she runs behind Kazuto immediately.

Chole asks, a bit surprised and annoyed, "You are a super-human magical girl that can fight powerful monsters and robots and you are scared of ghosts?!"

Lisbeth says, nervously, "She isn't the only one, but…yep." However, Lux can't help to stare at that 'ghost' as a powerful feeling comes over her heart.

Astoflo says, pointing towards Sailor Moon, "Well, Master, I hope that your leader isn't one of them because she may not like that!" Just then everyone sees a similar 'white mass' in front of Sailor Moon causing a look of pure panic to come over Sailor Moon, but she then gasps as a female human arm and hand comes out of the 'mass' and takes one of Sailor Moon's hands.

Tuxedo Mask, who is supporting the weakened Sailor Moon, says, worriedly, "Serena!"

Sailor Uranus says, seriously, "Hold on! Those spirits aren't dangerous! I don't sense any malice or evil from them!"

Naruto, snapping out of his fear for the moment, says, realizing something, "Hey, I feel the same thing! I'm getting 'good vibes' from those…things."

Sailor Galaxy asks Naruto, curiously, "You are, Naruto-kun?"

Sakura says, "Not surprising since Naruto's sensing abilities are focused on emotions and spirits are said to be 'masses of emotions'." On the meanwhile, a flash of memories goes through Sailor Moon's mind.

When they are done, Sailor Moon says, shocked, "You…You are…!" Soon after, the 'white mass' takes the form of Yuuna Shigemura, in her SAO avatar of Yuna, right in front of them.

There are gasps from our heroes and heroines and Sailor Star, getting over her fear of ghosts for the moment, says, shocked, "She…you…!"

Rain says, amazed, "It's a girl!"

Silica says, "She looks familiar!"

Sailor Uranus says, "Her name is Yuuna Shigemura and her avatar in Aincrad was Yuna."

There are looks of shock and Lux asks, looking at the other 'white mass', "Could…could you be…?" Immediately, as if to answer Lux's question, the other 'white mass' then 'transforms' into a young teenage girl with long blond hair with a flower in her hair, bright eyes, and wearing a bright long jacket, fingerless gloves, dark mini-skirt, and dark boots causing Lux to asks, shocked, "R-Rossa…?" Silica, Lisbeth, Suguha, and others look at Lux and Lux extends her right arm towards the 'ghost girl' causing her to ask, "Is that…?" The blond-haired 'ghost girl' then smiles and 'grabs' Lux's extended hand causing Lux to gasp as images flow into her mind.

Silica says, worriedly, "Lux!"

Sailor Moon says, "It's all right, Silica." When everyone looks at Sailor Moon, she says, plainly, "She's telling Lux what she needs to know."

Several tears fall from Lux's eyes and Lux says, "Yes, I understand…I understand Rossa…We'll stop them…we promise…we promise to set you free…all of you…" The 'ghost girl', Rossa, smiles and nods her head, but she then goes over to Sailor Moon and with a sly grin, Rossa gently slaps on the right side of her right arm causing Sailor Moon to gasp slightly as powerful emotions go through her. Rossa and Yuna then smile and nod at Sailor Moon before they 'vanish'.

Seven asks Rain, "Rain, where they…?"

Rain says, "I guess…" Rain then shakes her head causing her to say, "No, they were, Seven. They were fellow players from over there."

Seven says, a bit solemnly, "I see."

Sailor Star asks Sailor Moon, "Are you okay?" Everyone then notices that a tear was flowing down Sailor Moon's right eye and down her cheek.

Sailor Moon gives a look of surprise, wipes her face with her armored glove, and this causes Sailor Moon to say, "I shed a tear? I…I didn't notice." Sailor Moon shakes her head causing her to say, "Anyway, I know where we need to go."

Sailor Mercury asks, surprised and curious, "You do?"

Sailor Moon tells Sailor Pisces, "Yolei…I mean Pisces, I'll give you the location of where we need to go. See if you get us to that location."

Sailor Pisces replies, a bit confused, "Okay…" Sailor Pisces, with Shurimon by her side, goes over to Sailor Moon, still being supported by Tuxedo Mask, where Sailor Moon starts to give out information.

Sailor Uranus says, while looking around, "While that's happening, I don't think that we should leave any of this stuff in here. I'm sensing a lot of magical and spiritual energy coming from those containers. They could have powerful objects and we don't want them getting them back."

El-Melloi II says, "That's a wise idea. This organization is raiding across worlds and they plan to go to the very foundation of existence to dominate all worlds…at least by the looks of it."

Kazuto says, "They might not get the chance."

Everyone looks at Kazuto and Sailor Star asks, curiously, "What do you mean Kirito-kun?"

Kazuto says, "There are 'other factors' in play here. Not just the ones that we know about. And I have a feeling that while they aren't on UNI-SHOCKER's side, they aren't on our side either."

Tuxedo Mask says, "You are saying that the very reason that we managed to get the information to launch this invasion was someone wanted to us to create this chaos."

Kazuto says, with a nod, "Exactly."

Plenty of the others gasp in shock and Sailor Uranus says, plainly, "Personally, I had a feeling that was the case. And sooner or later, they are going to reveal themselves to us as well as their intentions."

(Elsewhere; on the meanwhile)

Inside of a hospital facility within the massive city/fortress style complex of the headquarters, we find various non-homunculus members of UNI-SHOCKER being treated for injuries suffered in the battles against Lunar, his forces, and our heroes and heroines. In a separate part of the hospital facility, we find Terra lying down on a table in terrible agony with nasty burns and sores all over his face with 'violet veins' as well as doctors and nurses try to tend to him, but his actions aren't making things easy for them. Watching this scene is none other than Aura, the female humanoid in the pink dragon-like armor, and the other one with armored shaped-like the Greek War Goddess Athena as seen in statues of her.

Aura says, "What a baka."

The other person with Aura in the Athena designed armor says, "Yes, my lady. He is such a fool. He chastised Gilgamesh and yet, he didn't anticipate himself getting defeated."

Aura tells the other person, "That's not surprising, Saga."

The other armored female, Saga, says, "He is no use to us anymore."

Aura responds, "Not yet. We may still have a use for him."

Saga asks, curiously, "How?"

Aura asks Saga, "Do you have the Berserker class card and the modified Jenova cells?"

Saga is silent for a few moments and she then tells Aura, "You are completely ruthless, my lady."

Aura tells Saga, "I know. I'm a hypocrite and a wicked witch, but it doesn't matter to me. Nothing matters expect doing what's necessary."

Saga says, with a nod, "I understand, my lady."

Aura tells Saga, "We need to be ready when they arrive."

Saga says, with a nod, "Yes."

Aura tells Saga, "Are you going to be all right?"

Saga asks, curiously, "My lady?"

Aura tells Saga, "You are going to be facing your former comrades after all."

Saga doesn't say a word for several moments, but she then responds, "There is nothing to question, my lady. I'm going to go against what I have fought for before. However, I need my answer. Plus, no one has ever valued me or recognized me. I need to know this: Have anything that I've done before been truly worth anything? Also, where do I go from here?"

Aura tells Saga, "I will help you find your answers, Saga. You know that."

Saga says, with a nod, "Thank you. However, I will be 'testing' them as well."

Aura tells Saga, "Don't underestimate them even if they are 'magical girls' especially these versions of them. And most of all…"

Saga then says, interrupting, "I'm surprised that SHE is a danger to this organization. I mean…look at her! Before 'that event', her skill and ability as a warrior were dismal…comical…ridiculous!"

Aura says, plainly with a nod of her head, "That's why she is a 'Meatball Head', Saga. I know that it would shocking that someone like her would survive something as horrific as Sword Art Online and yet, she thrived in there, but not because she is a gamer…because she is a Sailor Senshi."

Saga says, "Senshi: Japanese for 'soldier' or 'warrior'." Saga says, "And yet, everyone about her isn't that term. At least, before that event in her life. Before that, she was close to a 'comedy show' when it comes to fight. Something out of an 'magical girl' anime or something like that. But now, her fighting style has changed a complete one-eighty! That kind of thing happening is highly illogical…"

Aura says, with a giggle, "Nothing for Sailor Moon…ANY Sailor Moon is logical or impossible. Everyone of her enemies discounted her because of her lack of…everything…and they ended up 'moon dust'." Aura says, "But this one seems to be a 'cut above the rest'. Excalibur… Rhongomyniad…"

Saga says, "She defeated the 'King of Heroes' single handed. In one timeline, the 'King of Knights' even with Excalibur couldn't beat him. It took the power of Excalibur and Avalon combined to give King Arthur the win against Gilgamesh. In another timeline, Shirou Emiya defeated Gilgamesh, but he needed the power of his Reality Marble and he could only use it with the combined power of himself and Rin Tohsaka though he didn't face the King of Heroes' ultimate weapon from his Noble Phantasm unlike Saber."

Aura says, with a nod, "Yes, but she did pay a price for all this strength: Her 'heart' is still damaged, and she is still on the 'tightrope' between the light and the darkness though that may never change. Only the people that she loves are keeping her from the brink, but then again, most people would have already gone in the 'abyss' with what she went though. However, despite her powerful will and heart, she still has her limits. But there are plenty of cases where limits can be overcome and exceed beyond expectations. I'm interested to see if she is that case."

Saga asks Aura, "And…the one that destroyed your life?"

Aura says, with a plain, yet, dangerous tone of voice, "His ended won't be a simple death, Saga. He stripped me of everything and now, he will pay for it, not in blood, but everything. I will break him down so much that he will beg me for death…and I will NOT give it to him. It is one of the many reasons that I helped you, my friend. Your Noble Phantasm is quite…inspiring." Saga gives an involuntary shiver from Aura's words and Aura says, "You have a right to be scared of me and I do not blame you for it. It is base revenge, yes. However, what I also plan to do will finally be better for us all since I will shed a weakness that all Sailor Moons share."

Saga says, "They will not think so."

Aura says, with a nod, "I know. They will do their best to stop me and it won't only be them." Aura tells Saga, "You know why I asked you those questions."

Saga tells Aura, "And I already gave you my answer."

Aura says, with a nod, "Then let us begin." Saga nods her head and the two of them walk towards Kamen Rider Terra, writing in pain and agony for whatever 'damage' has been inflicted on him.

The End of Chapter 12

I know that how many parts that this 'area' of the story has, but don't worry, we will be moving on soon enough! Like I have been saying in this and the previous chapter's commentary, my original plan for this arc of the story has changed. I wanted to return more to the 'spirit' of Sword Art Online and there are more 'gaming themes' to the story. However, it will be more than just items, characters, and the like from various 'gaming stories' that will be making appearance, but you are going to have to wait and see what I mean, everyone. Now, please read and review, but no flames! Later and best wishes, Crossover Fans!
