A/N: Hey, loyal YYGDM fans. How's it all going? Me? Nothing except taking care of other business with priorities and my other fics, but enough about that.

It's almost a year removed since the last big season and game changer, Dawn of Chaos, ended. It may have be the end of that trilogy season; we begin a second era anew.

A new generation era. A Neo Heroes era. This is time for the Kuiper Senshi, Neo Detectives, Neo Duelists (aka Team GX) and Neo Senshi to rise to take over the reigns while the old guard winds down and takes a bit of a back seat. Now that doesn't mean the OG Duelists, Digiteams, Spirit Detectives, and Sailor Senshi roles will diminish (far from it; and to be fair, it's half the old guard that's been inactive).

To recap: out of the old guard, the Tamers and Legendary Warriors are more or less more of a help to the Neos. The Senshi and Detectives still have some active members (Inners and Detectives are for the most part active; the Outers, minus Saturn, don't see much action and Kuwabara may see limited action). The OG Duelists have pretty much been whittled to a select few (Yugi, Kaiba, Lyn, Joey, Mokuba, Mai) that can help the Neos.

In addition to the Neos, we have new residents in the YYGDM community that come from other dimensions:

- Dimitri Ishida (my Future Trunks Expy, character from my Digimon Fusion Kai series, and Sailor Sedna's boyfriend) & his Digimon Faith the Patamon.

- Kensuke 'Ken' Rainer (Chaosblazer's OC and main character of Digimon Accel Stream) & his Digimon Army (partners consist of Veemon, Shoutmon, CyberBeelzemon, Titaniamon, etc).

However, this story will be about the Neos getting proactive on their own against a new threat. Let's see if they can carry that weight the old guard expect from them.

Now, if you've been following YYGDM and to some extent DF-Kai (along with Chaosblazer's Accel series), hopefully you're up to date. If not, here's a brief recap of the series of events that have (or will happen if I haven't finished/have yet to start on):

Wrath of Pharaohmon/Redux: Where it all starts. Five groups of heroes from different walks of life and destiny are united against their first common threat: Pharaohmon.

The Invasion of the Rajita: The second season takes place months later and escalates when an old enemy of the Moon Kingdom and Sailor Senshi, known as the Rajita, invade Earth. Unable to win alone, the Senshi gain support from the other heroes to thwart Ghidorah's plan for galactic domination.

The Search for the Kuiper Belt Senshi: The first side story of the series. Sailor Sedna is sent on a mission to find members of her team, the Kuiper Belt Senshi.

The Taiyoukai Awakening: An ancient group of demons awaken to ravage Earth, but the Spirit Detectives acquire help from their colleagues to stop them.

Special Gaiden: Underworld Saga: A prequel tie-in exploring Himura Tsubasa and Kotori Ayami during their journey in the Digital Underworld.

Across Dimensions: The first YYGDM/DF-Kai/Accel crossover in which a dimensional villain trio wages war on Ascendants. This marks the debut of Kensuke Rainer.

Summer Diaries/Special Edition: A series of stories told by various characters in a third person POV.

Dawn of Chaos: The third season and the largest story to date. Although the behind the scenes was orchestrated by the insidious Paradais duo (Charon and Prophet), our heroes have been split to contend with their own enemies. The Duelists pursue the Paradais Knights. The Spirit and Neo Detectives confront the Demon Priests and the Taiyoukai lord Arago. The Sailor Senshi and Kuiper Belt Senshi must contend with the Neo-Rajita and leader Gamera. The Tamers and Legendary Warriors gain support from the Digi-Destined and DATS to prevent Valmarmon's revival. All the while, Paradais preps for the Dawn of Chaos.

Siege of GranDracmon: The second YYGDM/DF-Kai/Accel crossover. Our heroes, joined by Kensuke and his Digimon, breaks into GranDracmon's castle to contend with GranDracmon and his forces.

Digimon Fusion Kai: D-Reaper's Fury: Another YYGDM/DF-Kai event, in which the Tamers, Legendary Warriors, and Kuipers go to the DF-Kai world to meet the Kai Digi-Destined and Ascendants to compete in a tournament. But, their fun is interrupted when a whole different D-Reaper gets awakened. This is an adaptation of the Majin Buu Saga with some deviations. The story is still ongoing; be aware of some potential spoilers in this story.

Supplementary readings

YuYuGiDigiMoon: Gaiden (Various side stories, one-shots, POVs, and mini-arcs collected into an anthology of stories. Not really recommended, but still worth a look.)

Guilty Crown: The Lost Kingdoms (AU crossover fic for YYGDM. A Guilty Crown/Madoka Magica crossover created by Ford1114.)

Whew, that's a lot to summarize, but that's a recap of what's happened in the YYGDM franchise prior to this story. Hope you're able to keep up. For new readers it's a lot to read, but perhaps this story could ignite interest in the previous entries of my long-running franchise.

Anyway, why don't we jump straight into the story?

(Warning: This story takes place roughly a month after Digimon Fusion Kai: D-Reaper's Fury. So, any YYGDM characters that appear in that story may reference events from that fic and could be spoilers.)

With all that outta the way, enjoy!

Digital World/?-?/3:45 PM

It was going to be sunset in a deserted landscape cut off from most of the rest of the Digital World. This isolated stretch of desolate land was nearly void of Digimon and Duel Monsters, except for the few scavengers and hermits. The powers of the Digital World deemed this territory the 'Forbidden Zone' of the Digital World.

This was the perfect location for a certain criminal that managed to escape custody.

Being pursued was a blue-skinned young woman garbed in a sluttier version of Magician of Black Chaos' outfit, which mainly comprised of the black leather and straps. Her outfit perfectly exposed her cleavage and navel, in a 'V' shape, like the Harpie Lady. Protruding at the back of her head was long violet hair. Her legs was covered in a tight black leather skirt that went down nearly above her calves. Her feet were concealed in long high-heeled shoes.

This criminal was a partner-in-crime of an evil mage known as Chaos Command Magician. Her name is Chaos Magician Girl, and currently she was being pursued by lowly Forbidden Zone residents for her magic. But, there were other reasons, too, which were very perverse.

(Cue Attack on Titan OST – Female Titan Chase (0:00-1:55))

"After her! Don't let her get away!" Came a loud bellow from one of the larger Duel Monsters pursuing her.

Barely looking over her shoulder in the midst of her run, Chaos Magician Girl sighted five Duel Monsters chasing her. The five-monster gang consisted of Saggi the Dark Clown, Pumpking the King of Ghost, Archfiend Cavalry, Serpent Night Dragon, and Cannon Soldier. Not only did they chase but unleashed a combination of blasts to knock Chaos Magician Girl off her feet. She only managed to get by jumping and using flight magic to keep her out of harm's reach.

"We're not letting you get away without payment, witch!" Saggi the Dark Clown yelled, cackling like the demented creep he was. "Of course, there's other ways you can repay your debt!"

Upon hearing this, Chaos Magician Girl shuddered in the back of her mind. She quickly opened up a small vial, containing an elixir. She threw it down as it shattered and unleashed a huge wall of smoke that kept the five monsters at bay.

"That oughta keep you five busy!" Chaos Magician Girl laughed, flinging her hair back and giving them a sexy wink. "Tata, boys!" With that, she slipped off like a thief in the night and made off toward a cave in the distance. "Hmm, this might make a good hiding spot; at least until those jerks stop finding me." She dashed into the cave and realized how dark it was. "Can't see!"

With the snap of her fingers, she used magic to make ball of blue light in her hand. She used the magic ball to navigate her way through the dark cave. When she heard squirming, she turned and sighted a bunch of beetles crawling away, causing her to get all squeamish.

"Ick, I hate insects," Chaos Magician Girl conveyed her disgust of creepy crawlers. She navigated deep into the cave until her left knee seemingly bumped into something hard. "Ow!" She winced and bent over to rub her knee. "Ugh, why didn't I see that? I'm getting so worked up on those creeps chasing me." Just then, she heard her pursuers' loud yells from outside the cave.

"Where did she go?!" Archfiend Calvary yelled out.

"I don't know, but when we find her she will pay!" Serpent Night Dragon growled.

Pumpkin cackled. "Oh don't worry. She will hand us those Witchenly spells whether she wants to or not!"

(End theme)

As she turned off her magic light ball, Chaos Magician Girl slipped behind a rock face and stayed quiet like a mouse. She continued listening to their conversation.

Me hand over those spells I worked hard to steal!? Breaking into Witchenly with their tight security isn't an easy feat, y'know! And making it out is nothing short of a miracle! The dark mage thought while keeping quiet. She felt nervous sweat pour down her face. Please just go away! I paid you the debt I owed y'all! What else more do you need besides these spells?! She closed her eyes and prayed. If there's anything or anyone who can bail me out... I'd be the happiest evil mage ever!

'Are you in trouble, woman?'

At first, Chaos Magician Girl thought she was hearing things and imagined a sagely voice. She wasn't one to believe in a divine being and initially dismissed this voice as such.

'I can save you from your current troubles.'

"You're in my head? You're talking to me... hey, are you what humans call God?"

'Not exactly, but I am a being whose powers could be interpreted as divine. Then again, perhaps not. You seem to have gotten yourself in a heap of trouble with these lowly creatures.'

"Yeah..."

'You can speak to me telepathically. I've linked our minds as we speak.'

(Cue Avatar: The Last Airbender OST – Dai Li)

Nodding, Chaos Magician Girl projected her thoughts to this ambiguous 'divine being'. You're telling me! These five monsters are still coming after me despite paying all my debts to them. I've had to steal to repay my debts. But, not too long ago I managed to steal some powerful magic spells for myself... I needed new magic to protect myself. But, these five seem to want what I have! They want the spoils I worked hard to take!

The 'voice' responded in a calm sagely manner, seemingly understanding of her situation. 'You've been surviving purely on thievery alone I take it?'

Yes, and I don't care if you judge me purely based on my way of living. I've been a thief ever since I was a child. I'm not about to change my ways.

'Why would I judge you? Quite the contrary, I find it admirable you've stuck to your principles. I've witnessed many thieves in my time, but you seem to stick out amongst the rest. You possess interesting qualities.'

Ok, so you're not here, I can just assume you're talking to me from another realm or something?

'I'm with you as we speak.'

The female mage was left befuddled with this statement. She scoured around the cave and barely turned her light ball on again to find no signs of another person with her.

'Is this a prank? I don't see you anywhere!'

Suddenly, a faint blue light gleamed near Chaos Magician Girl's feet. This nearly startled and made her squeak. She clamped her mouth shut and gazed down at the source of this mysterious blue glow. She crouched over and saw a blue jewel, cut in diamond shape and the face (top) of it slightly larger than a quarter, glowing before her eyes.

Mesmerized by the blue glow, the mage prodded the jewel and picked it up.

'Do you see now, woman? You're holding me as we speak.'

You're just a jewel? How can this be?!

'It's a long story, but now that you've found me, I need your help.'

The mage was hesitant to accept realizing she still had her own dilemmas. However, she sat and listened.

"Go on."

'I will need your help finding other jewels similar to the one you're holding. You see, my essence has long been sealed in this jewel for ages. The other jewels have been separated from me and I require them. Not just to set me free from this jewel, but to revive me as a whole!' The voice sounded like he was pleading, which may or may not win over the mage.

Looking back outside the cave, Chaos Magician Girl could still hear her pursuers. She heard their footsteps inch closer, causing her to panic.

Oh no! I think they might've suspected I'm hiding in this cave!

'I can save you from these pursuers of yours. But, only if you'll agree to help me locate the other jewels. It's up to you, but I'd highly recommend it if you value your own precious livelihood.'

Chaos Magician Girl gulped and looked over her back. She saw Saggi and Cannon Soldier approaching. The latter activated an infrared scanner to find her more efficiently.

Ok! I accept your offer! I'll help you find those other jewels of yours! Now, please help me! Chaos Magician Girl clamped the blue gem in her hands.

The voice chortled an evil snicker. 'I'm glad I could sway you. What is your name?'

Chaos Magician Girl.

'The jewel that you currently hold is known as the Mind Jewel. Use it on those simple-minded cretins so you'll understand the power you currently wield! Make them your test subjects! Bind them to our will!'

(End theme)

As she nodded, Chaos Magician Girl stepped out of hiding with the Mind Jewel still glowing in her hand. Saggi and Cannon Soldier stopped and confronted her.

"Well, well, look who decided to come out clean!" Saggi laughed. "All right, mage. We know you have those spells. Hand them over to us."

Cannon Soldier scanned the glowing jewel in her hand. He spoke in a robotic voice. "She's carrying an item with immense mystic energies."

"Oh, did you find something here of value? I knew we could count on a thief like you to continue bringing us the goods!" Saggi put his hand out. "Hand over whatever you found!"

"As you wish...!" Chaos Magician Girl faked both the clown and machine out. She didn't hand over the jewel, but instead used the Mind Jewel's powers to bind them both to the jewel's will. The jewel quickly converted their minds (or in Cannon Soldier's case his programming). Chaos Magician Girl opened her eyes and saw that both of her pursuers stood motionlessly. "Huh?" She waved her hands in front of their faces. "They're really under my control?" An evil grin adorned the mage's face. Hah, it worked! How about them apples, ya jerks?!

The voice could be heard snickering in her thoughts.'Has your doubts been washed away, Chaos Magician Girl?'

(Cue Hunter x Hunter 2011 OST – Donkies)

You better believe it! Chaos Magician Girl snapped her fingers and pointed at her two new slaves. "You two! Hop on one foot!"

Saggi and Cannon Soldier obeyed and did exactly what Chaos Magician Girl commanded. She giggled fiendishly and clapped.

"Ahahah! Yeah, now ballet!" Chaos Magician Girl watched Saggi and Cannon Soldier perform a ballet duet. "Perfect!"

"Hey, what's going on in there?! What's taking you two idiots long?!" Pumpking bellowed as his intolerance was pushed to extremes.

"Ugh, I can't wait to shut that big headed pumpkin freak up for good," mumbled Chaos Magician Girl.

'You can with the Mind Jewel.'

"Exactly what I was thinking," she said, ordering Saggi and Cannon Soldier with accompany her. She walked out pretending to be a captive. She held her arms up and put on a pouty face. "You got me. I just can't escape from you, creeps."

Pumpking cackled, leaning over to look Chaos Magician Girl dead in her eyes. "Did you think you'd ever escape repaying your debt to us?"

"I've already paid you guys in full. I've earned my damn freedom, now let me go."

"Oh, but you still need to give us those powerful spells you've stolen from Witchenly. It's not everyday us fiends get a chance to use their magical spells." He shot out a vine from his mouth and ensnared her by the waist. He pulled her close. "Now give me what we asked for!"

Chaos Magician Girl smirked evilly. "You want it?"

"Yes."

"Then, you got it!" She pulled out the Mind Jewel and used it to mind control the three remaining fiends.

"Wh-What's that... gem? And that glow?" Pumpking asked before succumbing to the mind control effects from the jewel. His eyes twisted and became dark blue, matching the color of the jewel. "How may I serve you?"

The other two, Archfiend and Serpent, were also converted by the Mind Jewel's light.

"How may we serve you?" The five mind-controlled Duel Monsters asked line mindless drones.

Grasping the Mind Jewel in her fingers, Chaos Magician Girl chuckled devilishly. "I've stripped you of your free wills! You five simpletons are my slaves now, but this won't do. I'll need more recruits if I'm going to help you find the other jewels."

'A wise choice, Chaos Magician Girl. Though we will require real manpower to secure faster results. I wish to have four Heralds, four of the mightiest warriors you can find whose strengths are uncontested.'

(End theme)

After giving much thought for a few moments, the female mage finally decided and smiled evilly.

"I believe I know where I can get your four Heralds," Chaos Magician Girl stated, holding the Mind Jewel in her hands. "Allow me and my new slaves here to collect more recruits and we'll get your four Heralds as you desire."

The voice replied. 'Whatever you need, but let's make haste, Chaos Magician Girl. I want my revival to come sooner than later.'

"Oh, don't you worry. With me assisting you, you'll be revived in no time! My five slaves, let's get to work!" The female mage beckoned her five mind-controlled slaves to follow her.

"YES, OUR MISTRESS!"

"Mistress, eh?" Chaos Magician Girl rolled her eyes. "Cute, but I like it." She and her five slaves advanced out of the Forbidden Zone to gather more recruits.

Digital World/Outskirts from Royal Knight Headquarters/5:45 PM

Royal Knight Headquarters. Since the defeat of Valmarmon and Paradais, what was left of the Royal Knights gathered to rebuild their headquarters from the ground up. Various Digimon and Duel Monster knights amassed from all sectors of the Digital World to help during the reconstruction period that lasted over a single Earth year. The headquarters was the last place that required rebuilding.

The rebuilding was enacted by leaders, Omegamon and Buster Blader. With Alphamon out on business with other lands, Omegamon and Buster Blader doubled the efforts in the rebuilding process. However, since becoming a married Digimon to Athenamon, this required Omegamon to leave and assist in his wife's kingdom's reconstruction. Buster Blader was left to manage the Royal Knights.

As the front gates opened, Buster Blader walked out after a long day's work rebuilding to sharpen his sword skills. He beckoned two Knightmon keep alert.

Once he arrived in an enclosed forest away from the headquarters, he scoured through until he reached a lake. He drew out his sword and focused intensely. Then, with a light swing of his sword, he split the lake into two and pulled out a log from a bottom trench.

"Let's see if my sword skills have gotten any rusty," Buster Blader said. Kissing his blade, he tossed the mossy log into the air and jumped up taking a few swings at the log.

The log was split into many pieces. Buster Blader caught all the wooden pieces and landed from his high jump. He placed the wood pieces down sheathed his sword.

He nodded and chuckled. "Nope, my skills are still are sharp as ever!"

Suddenly, they came loud clapping from out of nowhere. Alarmed, Buster Blader pulled out his sword and surveyed for the source of the hand claps.

"Bravo! Bravo! Marvelous show, Sir Buster Blader!" Came a high-pitched but sensual feminine voice. "If you're looking for me, then allow me!"

Buster Blader turned to his left as he spotted a cloaked figure pounce from a high canopy tree. The figure stood facing Buster Blader's direction.

(Cue Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core OST – Combat Theme)

"Who might you be?!" The purple-garbed knight demanded, giving a fierce glare to the mysterious hooded figure.

"Now, now, aren't you supposed to be a chivalrous knight? One who fights honorably?" The hooded figure pulled up her hood, unveiling herself as Chaos Magician Girl. She gave him a seductively cool smirk. "Greetings, Buster Blader. Your reputation knows no bounds. Do I look familiar to you? Does my face ring any bells?"

Buster Blader flatly replied. "No."

In response, Chaos Magician Girl gave him a blank look. "What... are you serious?! My face was on wanted posters! I was a crime partner with criminal Chaos Command Magician!"

"I'm afraid I still don't know you. You're probably a minor case."

"Minor case, my foot."

"Seeing you just admitted you were crime partners with a famous criminal, I can't let you go so easily. Would you kindly come with me so we can determine your sentence?"

"Sorry, but I don't intend to get caught by righteous people like you. Tell you what, dear," Chaos Magician Girl undid her cloak, slowly beginning to show her cleavage to him. "You could spare me and grant me pardon from my crimes?" Unbeknownst to the knight, the mage hid the Mind Jewel inside her cleavage straps.

"No can do and your charms won't work on me," Buster Blader dismissed her offer. "You know better. I don't negotiate with criminals."

"That's too bad. I was going to give you an offer you couldn't refuse, but it's too late for that, I suppose," Chaos Magician Girl giggled and pulled out the Mind Jewel. "If you won't accept my offer, I'll just have to take you by force!"

As Buster Blader prepared to draw out his blade, Saggi, Serpent Night Dragon, Archfiend Calvary, and Cannon Soldier popped out behind the knight. They restrained Buster Blader. Then, two massive bony claws pinned the warrior's feet into the ground. The ghastly claws belonged to a Summoned Skull, whose head popped out of the moist earth.

"What's the meaning of this?!" Buster Blader demanded. A pair of green vines quickly snatched and yanked his sword away. "You're all in league with this woman?!"

Pumpking used his vines to toss the sword aside.

"He's all yours, mistress!" Saggi cackled like the demented clown he was.

"These men are my slaves and once had free wills. But, that all changed with this," Chaos Magician Girl showed off the Mind Jewel. "Feast your eyes on this, Buster Blader. With this jewel, I can mind control anyone I want. And do you think these are the only worthy servants I've recruited? I've amassed more than you can count."

"You won't bind me to your will, you fiendish woman!"

Chaos Magician Girl giggled again, speaking to him seductively. "Oh, but you have no choice. Your role as a Herald shall now be realized." She held the Mind Jewel up, shooting a blue beam of light that hit Buster Blader's face.

Buster Blader yelled in pain as blue rings of light revolved around his head. His eyes turned dark blue and the coloration of his light purple armor became a darker violet shade. The servants backed off and let Buster Blader go. Chaos Magician Girl picked up the knight's sword and walked over to hand it to him.

(End theme)

"Now, Herald, who do you serve?"

Buster Blader raised his head and replied in a dark tone. "You, my mistress and the power for whom you serve. I, your loyal Herald, await your command."

Yes, yes! It really worked on a high-level warrior! Just think of the possibilities! I could even manage to enslave one of the Egyptian Gods! The female mage cackled at that ever so scary scenario.

'Unlikely. Even the Mind Jewel has its limits, but perhaps once you've gathered all the jewels and revive me, I can make it a reality.'

Looks like we'll cross that bridge once we get there. Chaos Magician Girl refocused on her slave assembly. "Herald Buster Blader, do you know where's the closest vicinity to the Amazon Kingdom is located?"

Nodding, Buster Blader replied. "Of course, if you'll allow me to lead the way, I can take you there."

Grinning evilly, Chaos Magician Girl managed a soft but sensual chortle. "Perfect. Lead the way, Herald."

Digital World/Outskirts from Amazon Kingdom

The Amazon Kingdom. Ruled by Queens Athenamon and Amazoness Swordswoman, this was another united Digimon and Duel Monster community. Barring Omegamon and the steeds, only females were allowed to live on these grounds. It wasn't until recently that men were allowed to come as long as they met certain conditions. Although the second least advanced in technology compared to the other kingdoms (Royal Knights and Dra-Warriors), they made up for it for large numbers and were the most attuned with nature. Although, thanks to recent developments, they've started incorporating modern technologies to survive the changing times.

Just like the Royal Knights, the Amazons went through a reconstruction process. More Amazons, Digimon and Duel Monsters alike, were recruited from smaller villages scattered all over the Digital World. Athenamon and Swordswoman even managed a successful partnership with the Harpie Lady Clans.

With Athenamon conducting business in the kingdom, Swordswoman took a reprieve from her usual duties to train in the kingdom's outskirts. However, she didn't come alone. Bastion Misawa and his main squeeze, Tania the Amazon, visited the kingdom to see the queens. Eager to see Swordswoman's training, Tania insisted Bastion to go watch her. Bastion as always complied with Tania's wishes.

Sitting on a massive rock together, Bastion and Tania watched Swordswoman swinging her sword around and splitting several rocks in half.

"Ah-ha, isn't she amazing! Yep, she isn't one of my favorite monster cards for nothing!" Tania clapped for Swordswoman.

"She certainly is amazing to witness in person," Bastion nodded eagerly. "She's just like you, Tania. You both have the inherent ability to keep yourselves in shape."

Tania flexed her arm, showing her impressive 20-inch bicep for Bastion to touch. "We're Amazons, Bastion. We do nothing but train. You're getting buffer yourself, Bastion honey!"

"Yes, well, I can't keep up with you or you talented ladies."

"Talented, huh?" Tania giggled as she slid down the rock and approached Swordswoman. "May I hold your sword, Queen Swordswoman?"

"You may," the queen handed Tania her heavy scimitar.

Tania gripped the scimitar and swung it with relative ease. "I bet this is a couple hundred pounds, right?"

"2 tons to be exact."

"Really? No wonder I'm sweating... just a teeny bit." Tania swung the scimitar around some more and split a rock formation in two. "Wow! Now that's power!"

Swordswoman clapped. "You're getting the hang of it."

"Thanks, my queen."

"Have you considered moving in with your man into our kingdom?"

"We've have thoughts, but I'm not sure how Bastion would take it."

Swordswoman nodded, looking between her and Bastion. "I understand."

Just then, Bastion felt something brush behind him. He looked over his shoulder as he pushed off the rock. He wailed and hit the ground, alarming the two Amazons.

"What was that?!" Tania gasped. She sighted Bastion on the ground in pain. "Bastion!" She hurried over to his side. "Are you ok?! Who did this to you?!"

(Cue Megaman X6 OST – Moon Light)

Suddenly, Swordswoman looked up and sighted Chaos Magician Girl gliding in the air cackling evilly. The Amazon casted a fierce glare and swung her scimitar, sending a projectile that cut through the air with a piercing screech. Chaos Magician Girl narrowly dodged the projectile that would've split her in two and landed behind the Amazon queen.

"Such magnificent raw power you wield, Lady Swordswoman! Most impressive!" Clapped Chaos Magician Girl. "You're exactly the second Herald we want!"

"We?" A befuddled Swordswoman wondered, taking another swing at Chaos Magician Girl.

However, the mage forged a magical barrier that protected her from Swordswoman's earth-splitting swing. She used magic teleport to get behind Swordswoman.

"Your back's turned!" Tania shouted as she shoulder tackle Chaos Magician Girl, sending her flying far back. "Swordswoman, I have your back!" She watched Bastion stand beside her. "Stay behind me, Bastion. Things are bound to get ugly."

"Ah, you're so right!" Chaos Magician Girl announced. With a snap of her fingers, Pumpking popped out of the ground to the Amazons' and Bastion's surprise.

"Augh! No way, it's the Pumpking the King of Ghost!" Bastion yelled out, pointing to the giant Jack-o-Lantern monster.

"If that's all the reinforcements you've brought, you're in deep trouble," Swordswoman eyed Chaos Magician Girl. As Pumpking shot out branches upon branches of vines at her, Swordswoman made short work and cut all the vines apart with a swing.

Chaos Magician Girl shook her head dismissively. "I knew you'd say that. I took some liberties to add a new recruit. You may know him." Snapping her fingers again, Buster Blader materialized before everyone.

Upon seeing her comrade, Swordswoman was aghast. "Buster Blader...?" She barely managed to acknowledge him, allowing Chaos Magician Girl to tap her fingers over the Amazon's massive shoulders, applying a paralysis spell that binded the warrior easily. "Ugh...! A paralysis spell?!"

Chaos Magician Girl chortled. "Yes, just one of the techniques I learned after stealing a few spells from your Witchenly friends."

"No... you're the one who managed to escape from Witchenly with those advanced spells?"

"And there's more where that came from," Chaos Magician Girl pulled out the Mind Jewel. "See this?" She nodded to Buster Blader, who knelt down and bowed. "The Mind Jewel I found allows me to take control over anyone I so desire. I just so opt to use it on any Duel Monster I come across. Buster Blader has become our first Herald."

Tania and Bastion bumrushed Chaos Magician Girl to take the Mind Jewel. However, Saggi, Cannon Soldier, Serpent Night Dragon, and Archfiend Calvary materialized from out of a veil of black smoke. The four monsters cut Bastion and Tania off from the pass.

"Great, more of them?!" Bastion gritted.

"I'll take them!" Tania dashed over, clocking Saggi's face. Cannon Soldier tried shooting her, but she dodged his blasts and landed a hard kick that nearly took his head off. Before she could handle Serpent and Archfiend, Pumpking ensnared her with his vines. "Damn!" She quickly transformed into her white Amazoness Tiger form and clawed through the vines.

"That'll be enough out of you, trouble makers!" Chaos Magician Girl hissed, blasting the couple with binding spells.

As Bastion and Tania were hit with said spell, they hit the ground. Tania turned back to normal as the spell was too strong to break.

"No, Buster Blader... whatever mind control she has over you, fight it...!" Swordswoman pleaded to him.

"That'll be enough outta you!" The mage activated the Mind Jewel as it spread dark blue light over Swordswoman's paralyzed body. "Yes, resist all you want, it'll be all for naught!"

Despite her strong will being one of her defining traits, it wasn't enough to resist the Mind Jewel's insidious effects. Swordswoman's fiery red hair converted to silver and her usual Amazon garb turned from brown to dark green with silver trim. As the conversion ended, Swordswoman stood as the paralysis spell wore off. Her eyes glowed with dark blue energies. She picked up her scimitar and walked beside Buster Blader.

"I, Amazoness Swordswoman, am at your service, milady and our higher power."

"Excellent, Herald Swordswoman," Chaos Magician Girl looked impressed with Swordswoman's conversion colors. Not only can I alter their appearances, but I could augment their strengths if I wanted to.

(End theme)

"No, this is terrible... she's managed to mind control Swordswoman?!" Bastion yelled out.

"This is bad..." Tania muttered. She whispered to him. "We need to tell the others."

"What was that?" Chaos Magician Girl eavesdropped on Tania and Bastion's exchange. "Planning to tell the others? Not when I'm still here!" She raised her hand and conjured a fire spell to incinerate them, but then were stopped by the loud cries from the distance.

Amazoness Queen came dashing in with her sword readily drawn. Accompanying her was Yasmin the Gravekeeper's Assailant.

"Retreat! We have more pressing matters to attend to!" Commanded the mage, who used a teleport spell to remove her, the new Heralds, and the others from the location.

Queen barely managed to see Swordswoman with Chaos Magician Girl. "Sister! What's happened here?! Swordswoman!" However, she failed to get a response as the group were teleported away. "Damn!"

Once the binding spell wore off, Bastion and Tania got up to meet with Yasmin and Queen.

"Just when I decided to come and visit, she leaves," Queen sighed with irritation in her voice.

"It's not Lady Swordswoman's fault," Bastion explained. "That mage who showed up used a gem of sorts to mind control those Duel Monsters who attacked us. She's managed to convert Lady Swordswoman and Buster Blader!"

"That was Chaos Magician Girl," Yasmin confirmed.

"Anyone you know, Yasmin?" Bastion asked.

"Just that she's considered a nuisance and an assistant to Chaos Command Magician. If she's managed to procure some kind of mind control gem, then she'll likely find stronger warriors."

"It's a good thing I left Silent Magician and Lunamon at the kingdom before coming here," Queen nodded. "We need to inform Lady Athenamon and my sisters about this. We'll rendezvous back on Earth."

Yasmin turned facing Bastion and Tania. "In that case, us three can go to the real world. We can warn Jaden and his friends about this."

"It has been a while since I last seen Jaden and the others," Bastion smiled.

Tania smiled. "This is the perfect way to catch up, but remember we're on important business. Lady Swordswoman needs us."

"Right, understood."

"Once we get Jaden and the others, we can hunt down Chaos Magician Girl before she causes anymore trouble," Yasmin declared. "All right, let's get moving!"

As Queen stormed back to the Amazon Kingdom to relay the message, Yasmin led Bastion and Tania for the nearest doorway into Earth to find Jaden Yuki.

Digital World/Dra-Warrior's Base

Dra-Warrior's base. Ruled by Imperialdramon, the most advanced of the main dominions was also in the rebuilding process. The community recruited additional recruits, including new Digimon and Duel Monster types. With Imperialdramon seemingly away occasionally, Ninjadramon and Herodramon were left in charge of operations.

One of the Dra-Warrior's strongest members was Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon,. Today he was out on patrol outside the base, but that would prove to be a mistake.

It didn't long for Chaos Magician Girl and her cohorts to ambush Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. As her brainwashed minions struggled to pin down the giant dragon, Chaos Magician Girl was poised to use her paralysis spell on him.

(Cue Marvel vs Capcom 3 OST – Theme of Wesker)

"Hold him steady, fools!" The mage spat out frustrated.

'We need to hurry, least you want those fools to spread word of our activities!' The voice reminded her.

I know! But, now we're trying to convert a dragon! With his size, of course he'll be harder to ensnare than the last two! Chaos Magician Girl gritted, preparing to utilize her paralysis spell.

"Mistress," Buster Blader interjected. He and Swordswoman bowed together to Chaos Magician Girl. "Allow us to assist." He pulled out his sword in conjunction to Swordswoman brandishing her scimitar.

As Red-Eyes Darkness prepared to break loose, Buster Blader jumped up striking the draconian's chest. Swordswoman lunged and struck Red-Eyes Darkness' head with her heavy sword. The heavy weighted sword knocked the dragon out, dropping him like a bad habit. Swordswoman and Buster Blader cleared a path, allowing Chaos Magician Girl to use her Mind Jewel to convert the beast.

"Three down, one to go," the mage snickered as spines protruded from Red-Eyes Black Dragon's back. "Embrace your new destiny. Awaken, our third Herald."

As the Mind Jewel's energies filled him, he was renewed with new life as dark blue energies sparked out of his eyes.

Digital World/Outside Witchenly

Declared the fourth major dominion of the Digital World, Witchenly was recognized for being the haven of the best and renowned spellcasters. These spellcasters, Duel Monsters and Digimon alike, had one defining monument that made them stand out from the other dominions: an academy for would-be spellcasters to learn their craft. Wisemon and Dark Magician, being the headmasters of the academy, have seen a tremendous growth of spellcasters graduate.

However, with Chaos Magician Girl infiltrating and stealing advanced spells for herself, Witchenly was placed on alert of more likely enemy infiltrations.

In the meantime, Dark Magician went out with Witchmon to locate any clues of Chaos Magician Girl's whereabouts. Upon discovering discarded potion bottles, they were immediately greeted by the thief herself. Of course, she didn't come alone and unleashed her Heralds on Dark Magician.

"Get back!" Dark Magician repelled Witchmon with a spell and engaged the four Herald. "What's the meaning of this, my friends?" He sensed dark external energies flowing around Buster Blader, Swordswoman, and Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon. "You're being controlled by dark mystic energies. Resist it!" As Buster Blader came at him with his sword, Dark Magician used his Dark Magic Attack to knock him back.

Chaos Magician Girl watched, floating over them. "Having a rough time with my Heralds? Yes, they're under my control. Wish to know how I did it?"

Dark Magician noticed the blue gem in Chaos Magician Girl's grasp.

That's what's controlling them?! Wait, I feel the presence of a malevolent force inside that jewel!

"Oh, I'd watch your back if I were you," Chaos Magician Girl giggled, floating away as Dark Magician was blasted from behind by Red-Eyes Darkness' Internal Darkfire.

Dark Magician was then slashed repeatedly by Swordswoman's Amazoness Slash Attack. Buster Blader joined in and battered the mage with his Dragon Sword Attack.

Having taken the attacks of colleagues, he was easily beaten and left laying in a heap.

"Pick him up," Chaos Magician Girl ordered, watching Swordswoman and Buster Blader lift Dark Magician up. She sauntered over and leaned in front of the mage's face. "You haven't had a streak of good luck lately, huh? First, I make off with some spell formulas you and your friends have been cooking up. Then, here I am about to convert you to become my Herald. Must suck to be you, Dark Magician."

"You witch... you aren't going to get away with this..."

"Oh, blah, blah, you goodie goodies are always spouting that cliched 'you'll never get away' bullshit," the female mage stuck her tongue out at Dark Magician. "But, after I'm done with you, you aren't gonna be a goodie goodie anymore." She pulled out the Mind Jewel. "My life's been looking up ever since finding this. Want to see me work my mojo?"

"Do what you must, but my colleagues will find out and stop you..."

"They're more than welcome to try," Chaos Magician Girl licked her lips. She kissed Dark Magician's lips and pulled back, smiling devilishly. "Since Chaos Command Magician ain't here anymore, allow me to speak for him: he curses you and the council for banishing him. Oh, and one more thing..." She whispered into his ear. "Do you miss that whore? What's her name? Warrior Lady of the Wasteland? Well, I'll heal your pain and make you forget all about her."

"No..."

Chaos Magician Girl activated the Mind Jewel, using its energy to zap Dark Magician. The mage's garb changed to all dark gray trimmed with purple and his face turned pale like snow. His eyes, much like the other converted Duel Monsters, glowed with intense blue energies.

(End theme)

"Arise, my fourth Herald," Chaos Magician Girl commanded, watching Dark Magician stand up. "Who do you serve?"

Dark Magician replied in a drone-like manner. "You, my mistress."

"YES!" Chaos Magician Girl celebrated exuberantly, performing a dance of joy. "Who's winning now?!"

Witchmon witnessed Dark Magician's conversion and concealed behind bushes.

This is terrible! I should tell Wisemon... and I will, but I need to warn Phillipe! After all, my Charmers are with Phillipe and the Tamers! They can surely me save Dark Magician! Witchmon slipped away to forge a portal into Earth.

Once the four Heralds assembled, Chaos Magician Girl held the Mind Jewel up and laughed.

"All right, we have our Heralds! Where to now?" She called out to the voice inside the jewel.

'We begin looking for the other jewels. And I've located the nearest one, but it's not in this dimension.'

The malevolent mage deduced. "Earth. The remaining jewels must be there."

'Then, that is where you'll need to go. Take our Heralds and servants to secure the other jewels. The time is finally at hand to move forward to the next phase!'

As you wish, my friend! Chaos Magician Girl then faced and beckoned to her mind-controlled subjects. "All right, Heralds, our next stop: Earth! Let's not keep our master waiting."

Earth/Azabu-Juuban District, Japan/May 6, 2010/4:30 PM

Peace has since returned to Tokyo, but most of all Earth, following the Dawn of Chaos events. With the establishment of Legend Headquarters, Japan's heroes were amassed to create a national and global defense force. However, lately most threats have been minimal – mostly dealing with petty criminals and terrorist cells. They have been occasional threats from other dimensions. But, lately peace has been set in place.

At least until crime decided to rear its ugly head again.

But, there's always justice that puts them in their place.

A gang of masked robbers came storming out of a local Azabu-Juuban bank with bags.

"Y'all better keep your hands up!" A gang leader came running out with bags of cash. He beckoned his gang as they stormed out of a local bank. "Did y'all grab enough loot, ya jerks?!"

"More than enough!" A colleague held up a sack of cash. "We're ready to go, boss!"

"And thank y'all for your cooperation!" The gang leader pivoted back to the civilians and bank workers, tipping his hat to them. He and his gang quickly threw their bags into the back of their truck.

"We got 'em loaded!"

"Great, let's get outta here...!"

Suddenly, a pink beam of light, shaped like a heart, struck one robber in the face and knocked him out. The other robbers, including the leader, became alarmed as they ran over to check their leader.

"Holy crap, what just happened?!" One of the other gang members frantically asked. "Kojo just got knocked the f...!"

Pow!

Someone quickly rushed over and decked the robber, cutting him off from finishing his sentence and cold clocking him.

"Gah! What the hell?!" The third gang member was left aghast.

"Didn't anyone tell you not to curse in public?" Came a cutesy girl's voice from above them.

(Cue X-Men Evolution Theme)

The gang members looked up as a pink-haired heroine, with a familiar bun hair style, dropped in holding a heart-shaped scepter. She landed fully garbed in a Sailor-styled uniform complete with a pink skirt and very long pig tails hanging from her buns. She gave the bad guys a deathly serious look.

The gang members were taken aback by the heroine's entrance.

"Hand over those bags of money and no one gets hurt!" The pink-haired Sailor demanded while pointing her heart scepter at them.

"Hey, why don't ya run back to school where ya belong, girl! You don't wanna mess with us!" One of the gang members retorted.

The gang leader scoffed. "You idiot. We're in deep crap now."

"What? This bitch thinks she can take us? All she got is that little pretty Barbie toy and she's all alone!"

The girl smirked coolly, not the least intimidated by the bank robbers. "I knew you'd say that. I don't always come alone. Ever wondered who knocked your friend out there?" She pointed to the one laying that got punched by someone.

"She didn't come alone! Get your asses moving, guys!" The gang leader ordered his men off. He quickly fired a few rounds at the pink-haired girl. "Take that! I heard all about you, Sailor Moon! You ain't taking us alive!"

However, the magical girl caught and deflected the incoming projectiles with her scepter. She swiftly batted away every bullet that left the gang leader speechless. The girl whistled a tune and tossed her scepter up, catching and twirling it with one hand.

"Aw, shit..."

"Just to correct you, it's Sailor Neo Moon. Remember that," the Senshi winked before blasting him back with a heart-shaped beam, knocking him out. She walked over beside the unconscious criminal. "Luna-P!" She summoned her cybernetic Luna familiar, which materialized from a veil of pink smoke. She converted Luna-P into a pair of handcuffs and slapped them on the criminal.

(End theme)

A gray cat with a moon crescent on its forehead popped out.

"Nice work, Neo Moon!" The gray cat spoke in a girl's voice.

"Thanks, Diana. RJ, I just got their leader! Get the rest of them, sweetie!"

(Cue Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin OST – Invitation of a Crazed Moon)

"In case you're wondering, that's me! Usagi 'Usa' Tsukino II, the future Princess Serenity III from Crystal Tokyo. I'm daughter of Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion. I'm new Sailor Moon, or Sailor Neo Moon as I'm called these days. Yep, I've hardly been a 'Chibi' for several years and have adopted a stronger persona myself.

And always by my side is my feline sidekick, Diana, daughter of Luna and Artemis. We're the heirs of our respective families and we're in the past helping carry our present day versions of our parents hero duties while they're busy doing their own things.

I might be cute-looking on the outside, but I'm not one to be overlooked! Drop your guard, bad guys, and I'll make you sorry!

Anyway, today was supposed to be an off-day for us, but duty calls at the last minute. And who's the sweetie that I was referring to? You're about to find out!"

As the other gang members tried escaping, they didn't get far as a young man with dark hair appeared dressed in a white short-sleeved shirt, a denim jeans jacket, blue pants, and black shoes. He pointed his finger at the gang members and smirked.

"Going someone, guys?"

"Is this guy nuts? He's pointing his finger at us like a gun?!" One of the gang members was left confused.

"No, dumbass..." RJ rolled his eyes, clicked his fingers. "Bang!"

The gang members recoiled in fear, allowing RJ to run up quickly and punching each of them down. After cold clocking the last one, RJ stood over a gang members with a bored look.

"Man, they couldn't even put up a fight," RJ sighed. "But, it was an ok warm-up."

"That's my sweetie! Say hello to Raizen Urameshi Jr., or RJ as we and his dad call him. Yep, as if you didn't realize it, he is Yusuke and Keiko's son. Kinda fitting the son of King of Makai and the daughter of Crystal Tokyo have hooked up? Well, it was a complicated start, kinda like Yusuke and Keiko's relationship in the past.

We've known each other for as long as we have. As little ones, we used to play. By middle school, we kinda drifted apart especially going down two different walks of life. I was the straight-A honors student that actively participated in school clubs and was a club president for one. Though despite being a popular girl, I never bragged about it. And I never once looked down on anyone who didn't come from a wealthy family. RJ was the complete opposite. Although his grades were average, he always got into fights and it made me look bad. I've had to persuade the school head master not to kick RJ out and give him a chance. I guess being a son of Yusuke thought he earned ego points, but was he wrong.

I've always stuck my neck out for RJ. When high school came, he and I reconciled and he became less of a delinquent. His mom and I had to push him hard to study so we can graduate. Yusuke even had to remind RJ he never had a chance to graduate and doesn't want history to repeat itself.

And here we are. Both of us in the same graduated class alongside Koori, Ryuuhi, and Adam. We're on our way to becoming responsible adults, but we still have our hero duties to perform. And I think we're about to see some interesting times ahead for us."

It wasn't long until the police came to collect the robbers. Neo Moon, Diana, and RJ watched the robbers being loaded into police truck.

"Thank you so much, heroes," the police chief shook their hands. "There's been multiple bank robberies today that we've barely just rounded them up."

"Oh, don't worry, police chief," Neo Moon reassured the aged man. "Our friends probably already helped take care of them."

"What she said, this was a piece of cake," RJ nodded.

"Well, good and thank you. We'll never forget this and no doubt this just boosts Legend Headquarter's outstanding reputation."

"We've just begun," Neo Moon smiled, taking back her handcuffs from the chief. "Those were mine, thanks. You make sure those guys pay for stealing!"

As the police left, Neo Moon, Diana, and RJ watched as the news reporters came to interview them.

"Great, the media," RJ grumbled. "I've always hated the media."

"Let's avoid them, sweetie," the pink-haired heroine smiled, taking RJ's hand and putting Diana on her shoulder. They both propelled into the air with combined magic and spirit energy to guide them.

Leaving the news reporters behind, the couple flew halfway over Azabu-Juuban until they sighted their friends standing on a rooftop. They landed to reconvene with their friends.

"Hey, did y'all bag some bank robbers?" A boy with spiky blue hair asked them while checking the news reports on a portable laptop. "Nice job, you two!"

A girl wearing a blue Sailor uniform and with long blue hair added with an annoyed scoff. "We were left dealing with some hackers trying to rob another bank, but they weren't a match for my hacking skills."

"Ain't that the truth, Amaya?" Daiki chuckled. "Hackers in this time are freaking amateurs."

"Say hello to Amaya and Daiki Mizuno-Hunter. They're the twins of Ami Mizuno and Vega Hunter. Both inherited their mother's genius and their father's stubborn but prideful personalities. A weird combination I know, but they've pulled through for us when we need their strategies and tech upgrades the most.

Amaya is the new Sailor Mercury from our time. She's known as Sailor Cyber Mercury. Normally she's sweet and kind to us. She only shows her smart-alecky side around her brother. She's most definitely sweet and gentle to a boy she's become fond of in this time... the boy she's seeing is Max Stromberg, one of Lyn's brothers. She's the hacker and programmer of the two.

Daiki's more carefree and is a total techie. Give him any kind of gadget or tech device, he'll be all over it. He does have his trusty Helbot to assist him with work. He's our engineer and tech wizard. I think at one point he had a crush on me, but I never paid any mind to that. Though, I do clearly remember me and Amaya had to bail him out of trouble when he peeped on the girls' dressing room when we all went to the academy together. I practically had to beat the head cheerleader in a Duel Monsters game to ensure she doesn't tell the headmaster. Needless to say, Daiki can be a little too carefree."

"Well, what do you expect?" Came a voice belonging to a tall brunette girl, with a light brown complexion; she was seen wearing an olive green Sailor uniform. "We do come from 1000 years in the future. Right, Ryuuhi?" She looked over her back as a late-teen who looked similar to Hiei followed her.

"Quite," Ryuuhi merely replied. He turned over to see a girl with long sea green hair and garbed in an uniform similar to Sailor Mars but the red was replaced with sea green schemes and in place of the purple was dark blue hues. Her beautiful unique hair and pale complexion made her stand out amongst the rest. "Had fun taking down a few robbers, sister?"

The sea green-haired girl smiled modestly. "Yes, but after all got boring."

"That tall girl is the future Sailor Jupiter. Allow me to introduce you to Umi Kino-Tsunami, also known as Sailor Battle Jupiter. As the name suggests, she's the daughter of Makoto Kino and Mako Tsunami, who are now married in the present time. She has her mom's love for cooking and martial arts training. She also has her dad's love for the ocean. When she's not hanging out with us, she's out training near the sea.

And the guy behind her shares an uncanny resemblance to Hiei. Well, no surprise. He's Hiei's son! Say hi to Ryuuhi Hino. He just happens to be the son of Rei Hino and Hiei. He's every bit as prideful as his parents. He has Hiei's cool-headed aloofness but Rei's fiery hotheaded nature when he gets ticked. Funny thing to note, he's taller than his dad. Isn't that funny? I also think there might be a thing going on between Umi and Hiei. He's always watching her train for some reason. He's not as subtle as I thought.

The girl with the very beautiful greenish hair and the snow white complexion just happens to be Ryuuhi's twin sister, Koori Hino aka Sailor Blue Mars. Yes, you heard right! Just like Ami, Rei had her set of twins. Being born from a father with blood ties to a Koorime race, it make senses Koori would inherit the Koori genes and be a born half-demon Koorime. She's very much like her aunt Yukina, a shy and sweet girl, but if you push her buttons and threaten someone dear to her, she's very bit as cut throat like her father. Since she and I are the same age, we went to the same schools together and out of the girls I'm more closest to Koori. You'd be surprised how smart-alecky Koori can be once she finally opens up. She's also found love through Max's brother, Sam Stromberg.

So, yeah Max and Sam are the luckiest guys in the world to be dating Mercury and Mars' daughters."

"You're telling me!" A girl with long brunette hair came out wearing a Sailor uniform with similar color schemes as Sailor V. "When are actual superpowered folk gonna show up again?"

"I actually don't mind dealing with petty robbers and criminals, Ai," a feminine-looking young man with brown hair and blonde streaks spoke out. He came out wearing a white dress shirt and brown pants. "They can be fun to scare."

"For a half-vampire Day Walker like you, maybe," RJ remarked.

"Finally, there's our future Sailor Venus! Her name is Ai Aino-Kuroshishi aka Sailor Summoner Venus. She's Minako Aino and Rio Kuroshishi's daughter. She's every bit as light hearted and courageous as her mother. She has her dad's ability to summon dark mystic beasts. She shares her mother's love for idol singing and being a center of attention. She has a passion for art like her dad. She usually hangs around Amaya and Umi being the younger members of the group. They still have at least a year or two left in school before they graduate. Don't let them being younger fool you, they're every bit responsible and mature like me, RJ, Ryuuhi, Koori, and Adam. Although, if there is someone with immaturity when it comes to love, it's ironically Ai, who's named after love and being a daughter of Sailor Venus!

Which brings us to the cute-looking guy with her. This is Adam Sagara, son of Saya Sagara and a vampire demon named Tsukimaru. This isn't your crappy Twilight story we're talking here. Besides Saya and Tsukimaru are a much better couple than Bella and Edward! Anyway, Adam was born a half-demon and being half-vampire, the human side has allowed him to walk amongst us day walkers. Thus, he's been called a Day Walker. Funny thing, Ai and Adam's mothers are rivals, even in our time. Adam enjoys an aristocratic lifestyle, which annoys RJ and Ryuuhi, but he's very much a gentleman to me and the other girls. Oh, how I wish RJ has his mannerisms."

"I heard that, Usa."

"Oh, you're here, too?!"

"Can't be the only voice giving the audience a heads up on our profiles."

"Heheh, you're right, Sorry, RJ!"

"So, what's that about Ai and Adam, Usa?"

"Oh right, Ai has been vying for Adam's love for the longest time, but there's just one big roadblock. Her competition is a succubus demon named Demona, who also takes on a bat form called Deedee. Ai and Deedee's heated rivalry reminds me of Ryoko and Ayeka."

"Say, didn't Ai and Demona along with Adam and Daiki get dumped into the Tenchi universe during the final Dawn of Chaos battle when Chaos and her boy toy Millenniummon throw us into different dimensions?"

"Yep, I think so, RJ! Anyway, let's see what we're up to now!"

(End theme)

"Ok, so we took care of business. Now, we can have our fun," Neo Moon addressed everyone. "We're right at the meeting spot where we'll meet Yui and her group. I don't know about you guys, but I'm ready for some laser tag!"

"You and me both, Usa," RJ said. "You and me are gonna walk all over them."

"Oh please, bring it on!" Summoner Venus challenged the head couple. "Adam and I are so gonna sweep all of you!"

Adam sweatdropped. "Getting a little overconfident, Ai?" Suddenly, a tiny bat popped out from Adam's shirt pocket giving Summoner Venus an irked look.

"Why don't I join in and squash that ego of hers for you, Master Adam?" Deedee the bat asked.

"Now, now, Dee," Adam chuckled nervously. "If there's anything I can't handle is you two getting at each other's throats."

"Why am I playing kid's games?" Ryuuhi asked.

Battle Jupiter giggled, patting Ryuuhi's back. "Relax, it's all good fun. It's ok to loosen up. Even your sis knows when to have fun."

"Hey, Koori," Cyber Mercury turned to Blue Mars. "Aren't Max and Sam supposed to be coming with Yui and the group?"

"Yes, that's what I heard," Blue Mars replied. "They took off a few days from the Academy just to come see us and their sister Lyn."

"Of course, with our Valkyrie powers, we've been able to fly to Duel Academy," Cyber Mercury nodded. "Not too bad."

As the girls undid their Senshi forms, they reverted to civilian forms and climbed a ladder down from the rooftop. The boys followed them down as well. As they arrived at their meeting spot, they waited for a good fifteen minutes until the Spirit Neo-Detectives came.

"There they are!" Umi announced.

The Neo-Detectives came into view for the Neo Senshi to see. Yui Tsubasa & DarkGabumon, Aoshi Inuki, Cammy Hino, Shingo Tsukino, Kohana Kuroshishi, and Lien (wearing a human disguise; taking on a Caucasian look with long dark hair). Accompany them were the Stromberg brothers – Max and Sam. A year removed from the Dawn of Chaos events have strengthened the Neo-Detectives' bonds.

(Cue Castlevania: Curse of Darkness OST – Cordova Town)

"This Yui Tsubasa, younger sister of the Tamer Himura Tsubasa, but as you can see. I'm less of a young kid and more of a teen growing into a young woman. We're still two years from fully graduating. Despite me being a full-time Spirit Detective and a Tenyou, I still can't drink. Oh well, not that it bothers me. Can't believe it's been a full year since we beat Arago, the Demon Priests, and an entire demon invasion. On top of that, we beat the Paradais villains that tried to destroy our world. In the end, we all pulled out the stops and won.

As you can surmise, I'm still Koenma's trusted Spirit Detective. The status quo of my team has been mostly the same. Aoshi, Cammy, and Kohana are still with me. But, we have a new addition as you can see.

Lien, a Neo-Rajita now living on Earth, has moved in with Kohana and her family (namely Rio & Minako at this point). She has now become an honorary member of the Spirit Neo-Detectives. And to better blend in, she was given a watch device from her adoptive parent Nagah that creates a holographic disguise. She'll now look human in the eyes of the public and they won't even notice. The Rajita have some neat alien-tech if I say so myself!

Aoshi and I are now mostly dating. Cammy and Shingo have definitely been going out, much to the surprise of their sisters. Kohana and Lien have become quite an interesting item... never thought I'd see a human and a Rajita together, but I'm not complaining. I think it's cute!"

"Cute? I'll have you know, Yui, that Lien and I are now inseparable."

"Heh, that explains why she's so attached to those big boobs of yours, or 'pillows' as she likes to call them!"

"Hey, at least I got someone who appreciates my boobs! I've always had to tape them down for... well reasons, but now I finally meet someone who likes me for who I am. It's just I've decided to open up for her, is all."

"See, Kohana? You can be sweet when you want to be."

"Not with you! You and I will always be rivals. My love for Lien will surpass your love for Aoshi!"

"Challenge accepted. Oh, speaking of love, can't forget Max and Sam. Good thing we're meeting Usa and her team. Cause Koori and Amaya are here."

(End theme)

"Sam!" Koori cried out as she embraced Sam.

Amaya ran over and pulled Max into a hug. "Mmm, so good to see you, Max!"

"This time we came to you," Sam said, hugging Koori.

"Yep, you didn't have to fly to us this time around!" Max said.

Usa and RJ approached Yui.

"So, are we ready for some laser tag?" Usa asked the Neo-Detective.

Yui put on a wide smile. "You bet! How about we have couples vs couples. Then, we can have a Neo Senshi vs Neo-Detective rumble. And finally, a free-for-all, where there's no alliances?"

"You're on, Yui!" RJ accepted. "As far as the couple competition goes, me and Usa are gonna kick all your asses."

"Yeah, I'd like to see you try!" Aoshi interjected, getting into RJ's face as the two exchanged playful jabs to their sides.

"Should be fun," Kohana grinned a devilish smirk.

"Say, what is laser tag?" asked Lien.

Cammy added. "You're about to find out."

"Trust me, you're going to have a blast, Lien!" Shingo addressed the disguised alien girl.

"All right, next stop: laser tag!" Usa and Yui announced to everyone.

"Wait, aren't Karin and her group supposed to come?" Koori asked Usa.

"Yeah, but they had that Kobudo tournament thing and I'm not sure when they're getting out. Guess they'll call and let me know," Usa said, patting Diana's head. "Don't worry we can still have some fun before they come. Let's not keep ourselves waiting, c'mon!"

Elsewhere in the Azabu-Juuban District, the aforementioned Kuiper Belt Senshi had barely left a Kobudo tournament. The group consisted of the entire Kuiper team, Karin Osaka/Sailor Sedna, Tyra Vanderdbilt/Sailor Varuna, Christina Denton/Sailor Orcus, Taylor West/Sailor Eris, Helena Souza/Sailor Quaoar, and Jami Waziri/Sailor Ixion. Accompanying them were three men, two dogs, a little girl, and two PinkPatamon (one of which was pink).

The men were: Dimitri Ishida with his Patamon partner named Faith. He is Karin's boyfriend. The second guy is Kensuke 'Ken' Rainer, boyfriend to Christina. The third guy is Larry Stonebagel, leader of the Chimeras, and Taylor's boyfriend.

The little girl, Athena Osaka-Ishida, comes from the Crystal Tokyo future along with Usa and the Neo Senshi. Her partner is PinkPatamon.

The two dogs are Taylor's: both named Lucy and Desi.

(Cue Toonami Beats – Rise Up)

Karin, Christina, and Taylor were still dressed in their karate gear. They were one of the many girls that competed in today's all-girl's Kobudo district tournament. These three along with two other Kobudo teammates represented Megumi's dojo in competing for the Azabu-Juuban district title. Their excellent skills landed them as far as the semi-finals, but they fell short against a very competitive dojo team in a best 3 out of 5.

Christina felt dejected being the only Kuiper to lose her match while Karin and Taylor scored wins. Despite Karin and Taylor's efforts, their other teammates were beaten consecutively. Despite their loss, Megumi was not disappointed and was proud of her girls despite the setbacks and strong competition.

"Ugh, I'm really sorry, guys. If only I didn't slip, how embarrassing," Christina tucked her head and sighed.

"Don't take it hard. Miss Megumi said you fought your best," Karin reassured her dejected Australian friend. "You've definitely improved, but that team we fought was tough."

"Yeah, don't be hard on yourself. You lasted against someone who had 7 years experience over you," Taylor stated.

Ken took matters and consoled Christina. "You did your best and that's all that matters, Christina," He trying his best to overcome his shyness without coming off his awkward, causing her to blush and smile back. "We can't always win them. I would know being a duelist having lost to Yugi once."

"Sure, but out of Megumi's team, I'm the weak link," Christina scoffed, completely downing herself. "And other rival teams know that. But, hey, at least I don't winded like I used to!"

"So, stop griping," Tyra sighed. "Take the loss, pick yourself up, train harder, and try again."

"Well, we have the national tournament in two months," Karin reminded them. "We did advance so far we have a good chance of qualifying. We'll train harder and win that championship, guys." She said with passion in her eyes. "Let that be a lesson to us and let the Kobudo training hon our skills further."

Not only did Karin get her point across to Christina and Taylor, the others got the message as well.

(Cue The Incredibles Theme)

"I'm always one known for giving insightful and inspiring speeches. I don't know where it comes from, but from the heart I guess. Then again, being around the likes of Sailor Moon, Yugi Muto, and Takato will do that to you. They're such inspiring figures that I get inspired to be as great as them.

Hello, everyone. I am Karin Osaka, aka Sailor Sedna, and leader of the Kuiper Belt Senshi. I've been leading this team for a good couple of years. With Sailor Pluto's guidance, I've bettered myself as a responsible Senshi capable of leading a team. I've left a good impression with Sailor Moon and the other leads. When I'm not actively performing my Senshi, duties, I still perform my dimension guard duties. Lately I've helped my other dimension allies, namely the Ascendants and Kensuke, help fight their threats.

I've started to discover more about myself, including my past as Princess Sedna. Me and the Kuiper's memories have been fully restored. I discovered Ken is really my brother and that my Kuiper team were the forerunners of the Planetary Senshi. If that wasn't enough, me and Dimitri meeting our future daughter, Athena, months prior to now shocked our minds. Needless to say, these past few months have been life changing.

And just recently, me, the Kuipers, the Tamers, and the Legendary Warriors returned from the Ascendants' dimension, DF-616, for what was supposed to be a friendly reunion at a Digital World fighting tournament, but events that played out almost like the Majin Buu saga happened. We dealt with a insidious group led by a warlock called the Dark Coven. To make matters worse, we fought a Majin Buu version of the D-Reaper. After an arduous series of battles, Taichi Kamiya, as the Ascendant Omega X, used the Life Bomb with our energies to destroy the evil Teen-Reaper.

To recap: we went through a ton of crap to get where we are today. It was an exhausting ride dealing with enemies like a Buu-Reaper, but after much relaxation in dimension DF-616 we bid farewell to our Ascendant friends. Athena got to see her grandparents, Matt and Mimi, and her great uncle Tai. Here we are back home.

Oh, and as for Ken and Dimitri... Dimitri and I share a condo. Between my work as a museum curator and Dimitri working as a construction worker, we put our savings together to buy us a nice condo. It provided us and Athena a nice place to live in. Ken comes by to visit when he goes back between my world and his dimension, but since our kinship has been more or less confirmed he's considered finally moving into this dimension. Good thing we have room for one more in our condo and I know Athena would be thrilled to have her uncle Ken around!

As for the other Kuipers, they're doing fine. One year ago, Taylor moved into a shared apartment with Larry. They started slow but are now a happy couple. And yes, Taylor doesn't go anywhere without her dog guardians, Lucy and Desi!

Christina's moved into her own apartment and has become closely attached to Ken. I'd be happy to see Ken and Christina together. Christina still keeps up with her idol singing and voice acting career to make a living.

Jami's still living with Ami and her mother. She works at Mrs. Mizuno's clinic and is working her way to her medical degree.

As for Helena and Tyra, they're absolutely an item. While they still live on Rei and Cammy's shrine, they've traveled outside Tokyo some. Helena works as in a florist shop and is Tyra's self defense instructing assistant. Tyra works as a full-time self defense instructor and helps run a gym where she does a lot of her own training.

Athena, oh sweet little Athena. She's attending school in our time and she's learning about the good qualities of our time period. But, sometimes I do worry with her being partially Ascendant. Like her father Dimitri, she has the potential to become a full-powered Ascendant. He told me best: 'Don't fear our daughter's power. It's her gift and we will teach her use said gift to help others selflessly and only when it's necessary.' I want to believe that. I really do, but being her mother... yeah... I might be a mom yet in this time, but I have every right to worry for a child I'll one day be giving birth to.

Overall, it's been a rocky but rewarding road for us, but we can look forward to peaceful time. However long that lasts..."

(End theme)

"Hey, Karin, we still have time to make the laser tag with Usa and Yui's groups!" Helena reminded her.

Genuinely smiling, Karin nodded. "Yeah, let's not waste time then. C'mon, let's get out of this funk and end our day on a good note!"

"Yeah!" Athena gleefully expressed her enthusiasm for the idea of laser tag. She jumped up, lifting PinkPatamon up.

"Excited for some laser tag, Athena?" Dimitri patted her back.

"Yep!" She replied, grabbing Dimitri's hand.

"You up for some laser tag?" Taylor asked Larry.

Larry smiled back. "Sure, should be fun."

As the group headed over to the same laser tag place, Karin prepared to make a call to Usa until she and the others heard a commotion occurring not too far from where they were at now.

"Ah, c'mon! Can we go without dealing with lowly criminals?!" Christina vented her frustrations. "Let the police handle them!"

"Pfft, just leave one of us to handle them," Tyra snorted. "I've been meaning to beat up some thugs."

"MONSTERS!" Yelled out civilians from the distance.

(Cue Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin OST – Chaotic Playground)

"Hey, look!" Ken pointed everyone to civilians running from some of the brainwashed Duel Monsters recruited by Chaos Magician Girl.

"Aren't those Duel Monsters?!" Helena cried out.

"Oh yeah, but how did they get here? They're supposed to be in the Digital World!" Karin exclaimed.

Just then, Karin's polar bear spirit, Knut, telepathed with his Kuiper partner.

'I'm sensing dark mystic energies from these Duel Monsters. I can't determine the source, but whoever it is undoubtedly has sent them from the Digital World.'

We're facing an unknown enemy?

'Could be an enemy Digimon that the Tamers and their cohorts might've missed during the final Valmarmon war, or someone else.'

Whoever it is, we'll get to the bottom of this! Karin telepathed. "Guys, Knut thinks it might be one of leftover enemy Digimon that survived the Valmarmon war that sent these corrupted Duel Monsters."

"How can you be sure?" Jami inquired. "It could be anyone."

"I'm just basing this on Knut's conjecture. We won't know until we reveal the mastermind behind this!" Karin replied, quickly taking out her Henshin stick. "Regardless, we have people to defend, guys!"

"Right!" The Kuipers and the men shouted in unison.

Athena had a serious look. "We can help, too, PinkPatamon!"

PinkPatamon added, flapping her wings excitedly. "Let's do this!"

Civilians quickly fled from the scene while the brainwashed Duel Monsters made their mark and attacked this side of the Azabu-Juuban shopping district. Saggi the Dark Clown, Pumpking the King of Ghost, Archfiend Cavalry, Serpent Night Dragon, and Cannon Soldier were present to witness their Duel Monster army spread over entire blocks. The monsters did plenty of property damage and scared off civilians to their own delight.

"Heh, look at them run! Just like little mice!" Saggi the Dark Clown laughed maniacally. "Perhaps I should join in and add a little fun!" As he prepared to join in the carnage, a sheet of ice came out of nowhere and consumed a handful of the mind controlled Duel Monsters. "Guh?!"

"Where did that ice come from?!" Archfiend Cavalry yelled in distress.

Cannon Soldier scanned the source of the ice. "I found our culprit! We're been intercepted!" He picked up on Sailor Sedna's immediate location as she dropped in with her Kuiper Belt Senshi, Dimitri & Faith, Athena & PinkPatamon, Larry, and Kensuke. "We have more to deal with. Each possess strange internal sources of power."

Another army of various Duel Monsters (ranging from behemoths like Summoned Skulls to small creatures such as Sangan) formed a barricade, cutting Sedna and her allies off.

(End theme)

"They really were Duel Monsters," Sailor Orcus noted, eyeing the various monsters in their way.

"Yeah, but nothing we can't handle!" Sailor Eris said, summoning her lasso.

"We'll comb the areas, find any civilians and get them to safety!" Desi said. "C'mon, Lucy!"

"Right behind you!" Lucy replied as the two Eris dog stormed off to perform their search and rescue duties.

"Be careful, you two! We'll meet up!" Eris called out to her canine companions.

Ken pulled out his B.A.X. Digivice. "Time for action, guys! Release!" Beckoned by his command, several Digimon popped out of the Digivice. The Digimon released were Veemon, Shoutmon, a cybernetic-enhanced version of Beelzebumon named CyberBeelzemon, and a red-haired Erza Scarlet-look alike named Titaniamon.

"About time! Why did I have to miss out on that show!" Shoutmon griped.

"Whoa, Duel Monsters?!" Veemon gaped at the Duel Monster army facing them. "Bet Beyond wouldn't be thrilled to see other Duel Monsters under evil control!"

"Wait, they're under mind control?!" Sailor Quaoar asked.

"Look at their eyes, Miss Helena," Titaniamon addressed her. She quickly drew out her sword. "Perhaps we'll need Beyond the Hope, too, Ken."

"We'll see how we can hold up here," Ken noted.

"If they're under mind control, we need to be mindful not to kill them," Sedna advised them.

"Can't make any guarantees if they fully intend to kill us," Dimitri replied with his blade drawn out.

Athena nodded as she set PinkPatamon down. "You don't even need to do that, poppa. Me and PinkPatamon can knock 'em out!" She quickly whipped out her Digivice for PinkPatamon.

PinkPatamon snorted, blowing out pink smoke. "Yeah! Let me at 'em!"

'Sedna, there might be a way to neutralize the evil magic controlling them. You and the Kuipers possess good magic to reverse the mind control effects.' Knut foretold Sedna before she prepared to mobilize her troops.

Sedna smiled. Thanks for telling me, Knut. "Kuipers, Knut thinks if we use our magic it could reverse the evil powers controlling these monsters! So, keep that in mind!" She readied her Ice Trident.

"Ah, it's the Sailor Senshi I've heard all about!" Pumpking cackled. "And this is rich, they're avoiding trying to kill us?!"

"Well, aren't they in for a disappointment when we don't intend to pull any punches," Archfiend shook his head dismissively. "And here I expected Yugi Muto would stop us. Or, better yet that Jaden Yuki."

"They'll come to us eventually," Pumpking added. "But, these fools should provide us some entertainment until then. In the name of Mistress Chaos Magician Girl, none will stand in her way!"

Sailor Varuna overheard. "Chaos Magician Girl?"

(Cue Teen Titans: Unreleased Music – Divide and Conquer)

With the wave of his hand, Archfiend beckoned their Duel Monster troops to storm toward the Kuipers and their cohorts. Sedna assembled her Kuipers and sent them to engage the Duel Monster army. At the same time, Larry bumrushed several Duel Monster soldiers until he got jumped by Sangans. Larry fired multiple green blasts, knocking away the furry critters.

As Ken joined the fight with his Digimon, he invoked intense energies that leaked out and bathed over him. Upon calling out Spirit Armor Energize, ten of the elemental Crests (based on the Digi-Destined's Crests, including Ken's Kindness and Davis' Miracles) materialized around him in circular patterns. As the Crests combined, they formed a big white one with the heaven's symbol inscribed on it. As the crest merged with him, he took on a multi-colored battle armor, making him closely resemble Magnamon but only in body structure. His multi-colored armor was based on all the Crests. His head became covered by a metallic mouth guard, concealing the lower portion of his face. Adorning his head is a visor akin to Susanoomon.

Now transformed into Tsukuyomimon, Ken dashed forward and knocked away Duel Monsters. Veemon evolved straight into Veedramon and punched some Duel Monsters back. Shoutmon repelled away some Duel Monsters with his Rock and Roller. CyberBeelzemon blasted monsters back with lasers. Titaniamon swung her blade, sending an immense force that blew away some Duel Monsters.

As Faith evolved into MagnaAngemon, he joined Dimitri as they easily fought through the Duel Monster forces. After armor evolving PinkPatamon into Pegacormon, a pink alicorn garbed in gold armor, Athena flew into the air to some Flying Kamakiri and Man-Eater Bugs away.

Sedna unleashed an arctic wind by swinging down her Ice Trident, turning various monsters into ice. Eris lassoed a few monsters, using her ropes to drain the evil energies out of them. Quaoar tossed roses that paralyzed and started sucking out the evil powers out. Ixion shot up some using nonpoisonous darts to paralyze them. Orcus sealed some inside dome constructs made from her darkness powers. Varuna swung down her axe, unleashing a force that swept some Summoned Skulls back.

"Ugh, this isn't looking good!" Saggi whined.

Pumpking chortled evilly. "Oh, don't worry, we're not in short supply. This is merely the first wave and this time we made sure to recruit monsters still capable of evil deeds despite being brainwashed. These self-righteous heroes will have no choice but to kill them if they value their own lives!"

Archfiend pulled out a device and pressed a button. "And here comes the second wave." With that, a portal opened up and out from it came a bigger army of Duel Monsters.

The heroes watched in distress but nonetheless prepared for the incoming Duel Monster incursion.

Domino City/Several Blocks from Industrial Illusions/4:50 PM

Meanwhile, Jaden Yuki ran as his fast as his feet could take him after bolting past several blocks. He noticed the traffic jams was more 'packed' than usual and wondered what was the commotion. However, he wouldn't let distractions bother him as he raced to see the Staff of Apophis display.

"Oh man, oh man, I hope I'm not too late! It better not be closed by the time I get there!"

(Cue Toonami Beats – Bravado)

"Hey yo! What's up my adoring fans! It's Jaden Yuki! I'm so rad, I'm amazing! Ok, seriously, this is the next King of Games talking. Just to recap: I'm finally an Academy graduate! I've been back in town since the opening of that awesome Legend Headquarters. What's been my life like? Well, more or less the same except I'm now merged with Yubel. So, I'm pretty much superhuman just like Japan's heroes. It's cool because I can use abilities beyond my Spirit Fusion powers I got from the Staff of Apophis.

Speaking of which, I'm heading over to Industrial Illusions for that reason. They have a museum section and there the Staff of Apophis is finally going on display. Man to think, me, my friends, Yugi's pals, and Yusei's crew went thousands of years into the past to see that thing work. That's how me and my friends ended up getting our Spirit Fusion powers, directly from the Staff during a fight with Apophis and his followers, or at least that's how I'd interpret it!

Anyway, I don't got time to go too in-depth, 'cause I'm in a hurry!"

(End theme)

"Please still be open!"

Suddenly, Yubel's voice telepathed with Jaden and stopped him at his tracks.

'Jaden, I'm sensing a huge cluster of Duel Monster energies not too far from where we currently are. Additionally, these Duel Monsters' energies are intermixed with evil powers.'

"What...? Really, Yubel?" Jaden stopped as he turned east where Yubel sensed the distress. He felt chills in his body as he sensed the disturbance. "Yikes, this isn't good."

'But, already some of this world's heroes are already engaging this Duel Monster army. There's a flood of more Duel Monster energies pouring out from the other side.'

"Other side? They must be pouring out of the Duel Monster Spirit World or something. But, if the other heroes are handling this, I don't think they need us... or maybe they do?" Before Jaden could decide between seeing the Staff and leaving to fight, a familiar group called out to him.

"JADEN!"

As the Duelist turned around, he sighted familiar faces. He saw Syrus, Aster, and Chazz running toward him, but they weren't alone. They were being chased by two Earthquake Giants and Giant Rats.

"Thank goodness, Jay!" Syrus called out, flailing his arms around to get Jaden's attention. "These guys ambushed us on our way here!"

"They didn't give us time to prepare!" Chazz screamed out.

"I know we were supposed to head to Industrial Illusions, but I doubt we'll have time now!" Aster cried out.

Nodding, Jaden replied as he activated his Yubel eyes; one one turned orange and the other dark green. "All right, you freaks. Come get some of me and Yubel! Suit up and transform, guys!"

(Cue Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin OST – Bad Situation)

With that, the Neo-Duelists activated their Spirit Fusion powers and selected their Duel Monster forms. Syrus became Drillroid. Aster turned into Destiny Hero – Captain Tenacious. Chazz transformed into Ojama King.

As a Giant Rat bumrushed Jaden, the Neo-Duelists instinctively Spirit Fused into Elemental Hero Neos. Jaden whirled around meeting the Giant Rat head-on. He flew up and punched Giant Rat so hard he knocked the giant rodent over.

"Man, it's been so long I decided use Spirit Fusion! Least I know I haven't gotten rusty!" Jaden boasted.

"Quit showboating and give us a hand, dork!" Chazz yelled out while fighting off an Earthquake Giant.

"Heh, sorry," Jaden chuckled. But, I wonder who sent these Duel Monsters on us? Can't be the Nightshroud or the Darkness as he likes to call himself.

'No, this source of evil I'm sensing is different. Nonetheless, we need to subdue these monsters and get to the bottom of this new rising conflict.'

Jaden furrowed his brows and breathed hard, unable to discern what the new evil is plotting next. "Who are we facing now?"

Observing the skirmishes taking place, Chaos Magician Girl and the four Heralds used the distraction to move forward with their plan.

"That'll keep them busy," Chaos Magician Girl smirked, looking down at the Mind Jewel. She noticed the jewel glowing.

'I've located the next jewel closest to you: The Power Jewel.'

Smirking, Chaos Magician Girl grasped the jewel inside her fingers. "Heralds, the next jewel has been located." She turned as the gem glowed toward the direction of Industrial Illusions. She gave a cruel laugh. "That building over there. Let's take what we came for. The Power Jewel shall be ours!"

Next chapter: Hunt for the Power Jewel

xxxxx

A/N: A new age is upon us! A new conflict has arisen in the YYGDM world. Although not on a big scale like DoC, the forces Chaos Magician Girl brought will unite the Neo-Hero generation. Least we'll get Sedna, Neo Moon, Yui and Jaden running the show for this story.

A few familiar faces show up (and haven't appeared in any YYGDM story until now): Bastion, Tania and Yubel (in essence). So, any GX fans reading this are getting some love. Next chapter should have more show up.

Chaos Magician Girl was an interesting choice for a villain to say the least. Granted on her own, she's not a big threat, but the mysterious Mind Jewel changes things. What's the story behind the 'voice' and these jewels, well I can't tell you! You'll find out the identity of this evil force when it's reveal time. With the Mind Jewel, she's brainwashed a couple of the elite class Duel Monsters representing the four major dominions of the Digital World.

As for these jewels, can't reveal much, but they will ultimately serve their purpose and how each will be discovered (and procured) will be revealed.

Chronologically, this is set in May 2010 (YYGDM time) and a month after the epilogue scenes in Dawn of Chaos' final chapter. The Legend Headquarters references should give you that idea. Moreover, for the Kuipers and their closest friends, this is just a few weeks after they come back fresh off the events of D-Reaper's Fury, which granted is still unfinished. Dimitri has been now living in YYGDM-01 for a year and Kensuke of Accel Stream will find himself settling into this dimension, especially since this is a couple of months after Accel Stream's second season. As for Jaden and the Neo-Duelists, this is now post-GX for them.

Starting now, this story will and the subsequent stories will hopefully feel less like a dragged out 'battle shonen' and adopt American action cartoon storytelling (meaning less characters calling out their attacks; story arcs being shorter and condensed; and less 'fillerish' stuff, that's what Gaiden will be for). I'm aiming for this story to be anywhere in the ballpark of 5-6 chapters. Although I'll be aiming for mature themes, comedy will remain intact - perhaps evolving into more subtle humor as seen in JLU.

Don't know how often I'll update, but maybe 1-2 chapters per month since I have to work with The West Coasters and somehow fit D-Reaper's Fury when that returns from hiatus. In fact, I'm going to update between this and TWC in rotation. Maybe this strategy could work.

Anyway next time: Chaos Magician Girl and her new Heralds locate the Power Jewel. The Neo Senshi and Detectives spring to action. And the fighting against the Duel Monster army winds down.

Until then, send a review and see you again!
