48Final Arc
The Defiant Chaos, The Finale
(Cue Thomas Bergersen - Into Darkness)
After making their Sailor Wars declaration, the Paradius duo's words paralyzed the heroes with despair and anger. Sailor Pluto faced Sailor Charon with contempt. The Digiteams, most particularly Taichi, Masaru, Ryō, and the Tamers, conveyed disdain for the Prophet. However, Cain Bearer, who had been led astray and manipulated by the Paradius duo, was utterly speechless.
As he held his dead bodyguard and adoptive daughter in his arms, Cain cast his eyes toward the ground and hung his head shamefully. His actions not only indirectly cost Grace's life but he helped the Paradius duo reach their goals.
"Fret not, Mr. Bearer. Your work for us will not go to waste. You helped us bring these heroes out in the open. Wouldn't you agree, Digi-heroes?" The Prophet said, shifting his attention from the mentally broken Cain toward the Digiteams. "The Defiant War has brought us here just as Charon and I had premeditated."
"It's so good for us to reunite, Pluto. We can settle old scores if you'd like," Sailor Charon said, eliciting an angry scowl from Sailor Pluto. "Ooo, that's a scary look, Time Guardian. Is that any way to greet your 'sister' again?"
"You are not my sister, you conniving creature!" Sailor Pluto retorted.
"Oh, I'm hurt. Not. Anyway, onto other matters…" Charon turned toward the Prophet.
"Listen well, heroes. There's a reason why we're all here," the Prophet announced.
"What reason was there to escalate the Defiant War to begin with?!" Dukemon berated the Paradius duo.
"Yeah, so we can finally kick your asses!" Taichi rebuked as he and Yamato beckoned Omegamon Merciful Mode to attack them.
"Hold on, you might want to hear us out. This relates to our entire futures that will affect us if this problem isn't resolved," the Prophet spoke out.
"What problem? What could be worse than your Paradius organization we're not aware of? Spill it, Millenniummon!" Ryō demanded.
"Thank you, that's all we asked," the Prophet replied. "There's a method to all of this madness that we helped propagate over the past two years, ultimately culminating in the Defiant War. You see, we unleashed our monstrosities and manipulated enemies to engage you. Through these series of battles, we've witnessed your powers grow. Your show of unity has greatly intrigued us. Now, you've helped stop the Defiant War. However, I'm afraid that won't be enough to stop it. Or, rather him."
"What do you mean him?" Sailor Moon asked the cloaked entity.
"This greater enemy exists outside our reality. He has, or will, manifest in another reality similar to ours. Just recently, you've met some of these other dimension visitors who bear resemblance to some of you?" The Prophet reminded the heroes of their other dimensional counterparts. "Sailor Moon, Matsuda Takato, Yuki Judai, Yagami Taichi, Muto Yugi, Urameshi Yusuke, Sailor Pluto, Sailor Sedna, and others have met these other versions of you."
"Yeah, I remember meeting that other me!" Sailor Sedna recalled.
"My counterpart had a really odd but catchy catchphrase," Judai pointed out.
"Where is this all leading to? Enough with the mysteries!" Sailor Pluto yelled.
"Patience. We're getting to that," Sailor Charon chortled.
"You may recall they came from another world called YYGDM-01. A few others hailed from other alternate universes. One called DF-616 and the other XLR-8?" The Prophet reminded them.
"I remember that Super Saiyan version of me called Omega X. He gave me good advice and because of that, I've become a Digimon activist. So, what's this all about?" Taichi asked.
The Prophet calmly answered. "Paradius' endgame is not entirely to throw your universe into unwavering chaos. Although if you don't join our cause, we can't guarantee your universe will have a future."
"That sounds like a threat to me," Yugi scowled.
"What's your real endgame goal then?" Dukemon queried.
"Now that your powers have seen tremendous growth, we now see you as valuable assets. We can't just kill potential. Having manifested enough chaos energy from the negative emotions of the masses, we have the power to convert you into our chaos warriors to fight on our behalf. With our combined strength, we can spread destruction across the multiverse. No, let's go bigger. Let's talk about the omniverse. We can bring untold chaos across the omniverse, including the dimension known as YYGDM-01." As he said this, he drew vexed and intense glares from the heroes. "Think about it. With you as our pawns, there would be nothing to stop us. Not even he would be a match for us. Now, allow us to elaborate on who he is. Do you recall the Rajita warlord Kaiser Ghidorah?"
"The one we defeated two years ago?" Sailor Moon asked.
"Don't tell me that other dimensions have their own Ghidorah?" Sailor Venus gulped.
"If he's anything like ours, then we should easily destroy him," Sailor Mars said.
"Well, the heroes from dimension YYGDM-01 already slew their Ghidorah years ago. However, this entity is unlike any other enemy you've all faced," Sailor Charon clarified. "Though to be quite frank, dimension YYGDM-01 has already set itself apart from other dimensions, including its former allied universes. Dimension YYGDM-01 is far from being saved. We question if saving them is even worth it. That dimension thinks of itself as so highfalutin that they want to retain their rhetorical reputations and refuse to move forward with the changing times. They're due to have their own Defiants conflict that will be greatly different from ours on a grander and clusterfuck-type scale. Their conflict will also be much darker and more personal than our Defiant War has been. Dimension YYGDM-01 has determined it does not want saving from us."
Hearing this, Yusuke muttered. "Gee, from the sounds of our other selves' universe, it sounds so dark and bleak, I wonder if their Defiants thing will play out like a Zack Snyder DC film."
Sailor Venus added. "Maybe their Defiant War will be like the Snyder Cut."
Kurama sighed. "Now's not any time to joke, Minako and Yusuke."
Kuwabara added. "Things are about to get serious here."
"So, they don't want anyone to save them? Then, what the hell are we supposed to do about it?" Masaru asked.
"We found a way. We've tracked their dimension coordinates but we can't go there alone. Once we convert you into our chaos warriors, we will break into their dimension and confront the entity which wields the powers of a black phoenix that is stronger than either of us. Once their Defiant conflict is resolved, he seeks to take his revenge on his enemies, including your counterparts," the Prophet alluded. "Even with our combined power, this entity can easily obliterate us. That is why we hope to convert you into our chaos warriors to help us defeat a common enemy. This unrelenting entity is called Yami Ghidorah."
"Yami Ghidorah?" Sailor Pluto muttered dreadfully.
"So, their Ghidorah's revived himself with a dark phoenix's flames?" Judai asked.
"Dark phoenix's flames? That sounds like my evil clone we've fought," Sailor Mars related to her friends about their scuffle against Yami Hōō.
"Yes, but this is not quite the same dark phoenix we created," the Prophet elaborated. "Yami Ghidorah will arise from his ashes after years of reconstituting his body using the dark flames that destroyed him. Once he's fully realized, Yami Ghidorah will destroy his native dimension and bring untold terror across the omniverse. We, Paradius, cannot allow another powerful entity to encroach and disrupt our plans. With your help, we can overthrow Yami Ghidorah and his Yami army, but this can't be realized until you surrender yourselves to us willingly or we defeat you and take control of your wills ourselves. What is it going to be?"
"Choose carefully because you won't be getting any other options," Sailor Charon chortled.
Upon hearing this, the heroes started coming to terms over their first major villain being a Ghidorah and now finding out their YYGDM-01 counterparts' final enemy in their Defiants conflict is a revived old enemy they fought against years ago. While they've managed to slay their Ghidorah, the heroes' YYGDM-01 counterparts have yet to resolve their ongoing conflicts.
Scoffing loudly, Taichi angrily rebuked the Paradius duo. "You're joking, right? Who the hell do you take us for? You think we're going to let you freely take over our wills easily?!"
Judai shook his head. "Yubel wouldn't want either of you inside my mind and trying to control me."
"Surely you jest! Do you want us to become converted to do your bidding? Much less wreak havoc across the omniverse?!" Volodramon berated them.
"Our responsibility falls with this dimension. As you said, our counterparts surely don't need our help to thwart their Defiants conflict and this Yami Ghidorah entity," Sailor Pluto asserted. "The enemy we should be dealing with is you, Paradius!" Quickly pointing her Garnet Staff toward Sailor Charon, she gritted her teeth and cursed. "And you and I have unfinished business, you conniving bitch!"
Sailor Charon shrugged and sighed. "I suppose there's no convincing you, Pluto. Then again, our counterparts fought each other to the bitter end with the other Charon dying. I guess there's no changing our fate."
The Prophet chortled. "Well speaking of counterparts, who knew my other self ultimately played second fiddle to the other Charon. As if I'd allow myself to be your pet, chaos witch! The other me was such a fool to allow myself to become a lover and a pet for his partner-in-crime!" He openly mocked his YYGDM-01 counterpart. "I'd sooner kill you before I let that happen!"
Sailor Charon chuckled. "Hehe, I suppose you would. You wouldn't make a good pet for me."
"ENOUGH!" Sailor Pluto screamed, quickly interrupting the Paradius duo's exchange. "Who gives a FUCK if you're partners or planning to stab each other in the back! Your fight is with us now!"
"So, I take you're all refusing to willingly become our chaos servants? Very well, we'll convert you by force if need be," the Prophet replied.
"Not before we go down without a fight! Millenniummon, you've brought enough suffering and pain to my friends and me! Using a virus to infect Wallace's partners, mutating that same virus to try to infect our Digimon and destroy our bonds with them, and creating a Dark Gennai that nearly destroyed our trust in our old friend! We'll never forgive you for all you've done to us!" Taichi berated the hooded entity, whose eyes profusely glowed in response to Taichi's accusations.
"Then, let the Sailor Wars commence without delay," the Prophet declared.
"You better give everything you've got because we didn't come alone!" Sailor Charon shouted.
With the Paradius duo's beckoning, a giant black portal manifested above them and the prefecture. As darkness spilled out from the distortion, it spread and shrouded the night sky. Emerging from the portal were the Rajita Warlord clones and Yami Hōō. However, they weren't the only entities that appeared. Much to the dismay of the Signers, the Paradius duo used their temporal powers to summon the Earthbound Gods of the current timeline. The Duel Academia and the original Duelists watched in aghast at the Earthbound Gods being manifested into their time.
"Holy hell! Those devils revived those monsters from this time?!" Jack exclaimed.
"I can't believe they've brought the Earthbound Gods!" Crow shouted.
"This is not what we hoped to face again!" Aki cried out.
"These entities' powers feel like they rival your Legendary Gods, Yugi!" Judai exclaimed.
"Yes, the gods can sense their immense powers!" Yugi said.
"Believe me, you guys haven't seen the hell these things can unleash but don't forget we have our Signer dragons!" Yusei declared as he and the Signers readied their Signer Dragons.
Upon seeing the revived Rajita Warlords, the heroes were visibly shocked and dismayed.
"So, they've managed to revive the Ghidorah we defeated," Sailor Moon faced the revived Warlords with contempt.
"Not just one but the other two, including the one we destroyed over a year ago," Sailor Jupiter pointed out.
"So, what? We'll destroy these clones. Our powers have grown since we last fought them," Sailor Uranus said.
Sailor Neptune added. "Let's not drop our guards, Uranus."
"I'll handle those three," Sailor Venus said as she brandished her Holy Moon Sword.
"If anything I'm more worried about her," Sailor Mars said as she eyed Yami Hōō, who smiled malevolently.
"This time I'll get rid of you and extract the rest of the Hōō to complete my power!" Yami Hōō openly vowed to enhance her Hōō cloak.
"You're foolish to underestimate us. Our strengths have been greatly enhanced. You will have a hard time defeating the three of us," Ghidorah muttered as his eyes glowed intensely.
Gyaos cackled. "I fought the Auspicious Beasts and the Hōō in the past! You fools don't have a chance!"
Gamera added with a maniacal laugh. "And I've been revived to get another chance at revenge!"
Ghidorah evilly smirked. "And I'll show you why I was deemed a feared galactic gladiator during my time. You shall all face your doom!"
"Yeah, we'll see about that!" Yusuke retorted.
"If this is all you've got, then bring it on, Millenniummon and Charon!" Taichi said.
"Then, let the Sailor Wars finally commence forth!" The Paradius duo declared as they and their forces spread out and lured the heroes toward them.
"But, first if we're going all out in this war, then we should as well! Allow me to unveil a new power I've been meaning to use especially after I've consumed enough dark chaotic energy from the Defiant War!" The Prophet declared.
Suddenly, and in response to his enemies' threats, the Prophet's body broke apart as dark beams poured out and tore his hooded cloak into shreds. His formless black shape then twisted and solidified into a massive body. Physical features began materializing all over the abomination. The Prophet transformed into an unearthly beast with four massive limbs with black and red claws; there were four claws coupled with a blood red one on each hand and three-toed red claws on his feet. He bore a resemblance to ZeedMillenniummon with a physical form. His body was a twisted form of dark brown and violet. His head had a ghastly visage with two dark yellow eyes on each other; his pupils are pitch black and his irises are bright yellow, giving him a greater field of vision than before, although his other senses are greater than his sight. His mouth was agape with razor-sharp teeth. Adorning the entity's long snout is a large brown sharp horn and a smaller horn on the crown of its head. Manifesting from his body is a yellow ethereal beast with Mugendramon's visage and a pair of torn wings. Letting out a deafening and terrifying roar, Millenniummon achieved his greatest form: ShinMillenniummon.
"And likewise, I've collected enough dark and chaotic energies from the conflict between you heroes and the Defiants, enough to bring the primordial chaos toward me!" Sailor Charon declared as everyone witnessed formless black energies wisping toward Charon. Having played her long gambit over the past few years, Charon sowed the hatred of humanity enough for the darkness to restore Chaos. In the process, she and the dark entity emerged, infusing her with greater form and changing her appearance.
With her chaos infusion complete, Sailor Charon's costume colors became inverted. Her white bow and skirt turned solid black. The rest of her outfit became a darker gray with black trim. Her dark brown hair converted into pitch-black while her eyes became ghostly white.
"Yes, it has all paid off! With chaos infused with me for the first time, I, Chaos, have returned in the form of Sailor Chaos and will bring the destructive war to the galaxy!" The chaotic witch boasted, laughing maniacally as Sailor Pluto and the Sailor Guardians faced her down with contempt.
While adjusting to Chaos' power coursing through her, Sailor Chaos launched a swift and devastating attack on the heroes. While mostly targeting the Sailor Guardians, she aided ShinMillenniummon and launched attacks on the Digiteams, the Duelists, the Spirit Detectives, and their allies.
Dukemon, Omegamon MM, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, SaintGalgomon, Sakuyamon, Omegamon InuMizuchi Mode, ShineGreymon Burst Mode, and Susanoomon protected their partners and allies from ShinMillenniummon's blasts.
The Duelists' Duel Monsters, Yubel, Yugi's Legendary Gods, and the Signers' Signer Dragons protected them from ShinMillenniummon and Sailor Chaos' blasts.
The Sailor Guardians united their powers and formed a barrier to halt Sailor Chaos' destructive attacks.
(Cue Avengers: Endgame - Alan Silvestri - Portals)
Following Sailor Chaos' first strike, the Sailor Guardians quickly turned to Eternal Sailor Moon, who remembered her meeting with Sailor Cosmos. She recalled Sailor Cosmos fought Chaos in a never-ending conflict in the far future. Realizing Sailor Chaos materialized sooner than expected, Moon required Cosmos' power to fight Sailor Chaos. She asked the other Sailor Guardians to transfer some of their powers to her.
Before sending their powers, the Sailor Guardians, sans Sailor Chibi Moon's friends and the Sailor Quartet, transformed into their Princess forms.
Having drawn in the powers from the Sailor Guardians, her Silver Crystal produced a divine white light that transformed Sailor Moon into an entity shrouded in a divine and pearl white radiance. Her wardrobe resembled a white sailor uniform. The outfit has a white collar with three yellow stripes, short yellow sleeves with wings, and multicolored ribbons in the middle of her skirt. She has two brooches, one below the collar and the other between her hips. The brooches consist of an eight-pointed yellow star with wings firmly attached to the sides by white beads. Her blonde odango hairstyle had changed, becoming long white hair tied in heart-shaped odangos. She gained high-heeled white shoes with wings at the heel, white earrings, a tiara with white beads and a yellow star centered on it, a white choker with a yellow star centered on it, winged white beaded barrettes, and white hair pieces with yellow circles. Donning her back is a white cape. In her right hand, she now wielded a white-winged staff taller than herself. On the staff is a large white sphere topped with a smaller sphere with an eight-pointed star that matched her brooches. Sailor Moon had transformed into an aspect of Sailor Cosmos.
Amid the first attacks, the Paradius duo took full advantage of the heroes' number advantage and invoked the darkness they've accumulated from humanity's hatred. Utilizing the dark, chaotic energies, the Paradius duo seized control of half of the heroes' inner darkness and converted them into Paradius warriors.
Among the Chosen controlled and turned into dark warriors were the three Tamers and their Digimon. Dukemon was turned into ChaosDukemon. SaintGalgomon turned into BlackSaintGalgomon. Sakuyamon was turned into Kuzuhamon. Susanoomon was also converted into a Paradius warrior.
From the Duelists' side, half of the dragon wielders were mind-controlled against their will. Seto, Manjoue, Jack, Aki, Mai, Sho, and Crow were turned into Paradius duelists. Sho was also converted into Hell Kaiser Sho. Their dragons were converted into Sin-type monsters.
Out of the Sailor Guardians and their allies, Tuxedo Mask, Sailor Mercury, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Saturn, Sailor Chibi Moon, Sailor Orcus, Sailor Ixion, Sailor Quaoar, Volodramon, and Dimitri/Perseus were converted into Paradius warriors.
Having witnessed Volodramon controlled by Sailor Chaos, Sailor Pluto was aghast as her inner hatred for Sailor Charon grew exponentially greater than before. Pluto, along with Sailor Cosmos, was also devastated when they witnessed Sailor Chibi Moon turn into Black Lady again. Sailor Cosmos was also horrified when her beloved Tuxedo Mask became Paradius' pawn. Not only was Neptune devastated when she saw Paradius convert Uranus, but she and the others also witnessed Sailor Saturn turn into Mistress 9. Sailor Mercury's conversion resulted in her becoming Dark Mercury. Sedna, Arctic Sedna, Prince Sedna, Varuna, and Eris were horrified to see Perseus, Quaoar, Ixion, and Quaoar turned loose against them. With Yami Hōō's presence irking her, Mars invoked her Hōō power and transformed into Hōō Mars.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Yui/Shaka had to witness Hiei, Kurama, and Aoshi converted into Paradius' warriors. In Hiei's case, he invoked his full green demon form with the eyes covering his body.
Other heroes who became controlled were Sailor Star Fighter, Time Thief Redoer, Brunhilde, Alec, Skogul, and Mist.
Having acquired their controlled heroes, the Paradius duo decided to put their converted minions to the test and turned them loose against the remaining heroes. The battle lines became drawn and the Sailor Wars escalated forth. With Paradius' darkness accumulating, Tokyo became shrouded with dark purple crystals.
Before the war could commence, Ancientmon made a sudden and unexpected arrival to fight on the Chosens' behalf and vowed to see ShinMillenniummon's demise.
Sailor Cosmos, Tempus Pluto, Glacialis Sedna, Kensuke/Prince Sedna, and Sailor Arctic Sedna went against Sailor Chaos, Volodramon, Tuxedo Mask, Dimitri/Perseus, and Platinum Orcus.
Time Thief Winder, Time Thief Perpetua, Sailor Star Healer, and Sailor Star Maker faced off against Time Thief Redoer and Sailor Star Fighter.
Justimon, the Digidestined & Omegamon Merciful Mode, Daisuke/Ken & Imperialdramon Paladin Mode, Wallace & Rapidmon X & Cherubimon X, and Ancientmon confrontedShinMillenniummon and Susanoomon.
Hōō Mars, Amare Venus, and Kotori/Himura & Omegamon InuMizuchi fought against the three Rajita Warlords, Yami Hōō, ChaosDukemon, BlackSaintGalgomon, and Kuzuhamon.
Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Shaka fought against Hiei, Kurama, and Aoshi.

David, Grani, Sigrun, Gondul, Sudsakorn and his horse, Taiyō went against Brunhilde, Alec, Skogul, and Mist.
As the final battle commenced, the heroes' friends, families, confidants, and supporters united and cheered them on against Paradius. Even those who died cheered them in spirit.

(Cue Digimon Adventure Last Evolution Kizuna OST - MENOA)
As soon as the groups spread out, the Sailor Wars kicked into high gear with both sides fighting for the fate of the Earth's future.
On the eastern side of Shibuya, the Norse warriors fought to restore their mind-controlled friends. Despite Brunhilde's tough earth-powered techniques, David and Grani managed to defeat her. Then, using Gram's mystic power, David purified her after a difficult battle.
After blocking Alec's attacks, Sigrun struck and purified him with her spear. After being forced to fight their lover, Gondul and Sudsakorn subdued Skogul and purged Paradius' darkness with a kiss. For a brief time, Taiyō found himself on the receiving end of Mist's deadly attacks, but he turned the tide against his lover and purified her with his sword.
After their battles, Brunhilde & David, Sigrun & Alec, and Taiyō & Mist shared passionate kisses. In the case of Skogul, Gondul, and Sudsakorn, they initiated a three-way kiss; as he kissed them, the Thai embraced his dark-skinned sirens.
Leading the charge against Earthbound God Chacu Challhua and the mind-controlled heroes, Mare Neptune conjured a powerful tidal wave and sent it crashing into the Earthbound God. As Neptune's attack rattled the evil deity, Mare Neptune turned her attention toward Mistress 9 and engaged him.
Edo's Destiny HERO Blood-D and Jounouchi's God Phoenix Gearfried helped subdue Chacu Challhua. Tyranno's Ultimate Conductor Tyranno and Junko's Cyber Angel Dakini fought and combined their powers to defeat Sin Black-Feather Dragon while freeing Crow from Paradius' mind control. Then, the Duelists' monsters combined their powers and obliterated Earthbound God Chacu Challhua.
Following a slightly difficult fight, Mare Neptune blasted Mistress 9 with a tidal wave that not only crushed Mistress 9 but also purified her back to Sailor Saturn. After coming to her senses, the Guardian of Destruction invoked her princess form, Exitium Saturn.
Setting her sights on Black Lady, Tonitrus Jupiter amassed a giant thunderball, which then exploded into a hundred lightning bolts. Most of these bolts struck the giant-sized Earthbound God Ccapac Apu. Taken aback by Jupiter's attack, Black Lady narrowly dodged the bolts and unleashed a dark ball barrage.
Masaru & ShineGreymon BM and Lua & Life Stream Dragon unleashed a devastating force against Earthbound God Ccapac Apu. Meanwhile, Momoe and her Cyber Angel Izana targeted Hell Kaiser Sho and Sin Cyberdark End Dragon. As their Duel Monsters clashed, Momoe reached Hell Kaiser Sho, who tried to relentlessly attack her. Momoe surprised him with a kiss, which purified Sho. Once Sho was restored, the Duelists and ShineGreymon BM finished off Earthbound God Ccapac.
As Black Lady tried to ward off the lightning blasts with her dark waves, Tonitrus Jupiter bombarded her with a devastating electrical field that subdued her. Then, after conjuring a giant lightning bolt, Tonitrus Jupiter obliterated Black Lady and purified her, turning her back to Sailor Chibi Moon. Once regaining her senses, Chibi Moon turned back into Princess Serenity III.
Sailor Star Fighter and Time Thief Redoer utilized efficient teamwork to give the other Time Thieves and Starlights a hard time. However, the tide of the battle turned once Winder, Perpetua, Star Healer, and Star Maker used their powers to purify Star Fighter and Redoer.
As they fought off Hiei, Kurama, and Aoshi's ferocity, Yusuke, Kuwabara, and Shaka held their ground. Settling on their long-awaited rematch, Yusuke and Hiei pummeled each other.
When Kurama tied Kuwabara with vines, Kuwabara sliced apart the fox's binding with his Dimension Sword. Then, after amassing and exhausting most of his spirit energy, he purified Kurama and restored the fox demon. Likewise, Shaka used her Tennyo power to purge Paradius' corruption out of Aoshi.
The end of Yusuke and Hiei's fight came when the latter launched his Dragon of the Darkness Flames. Amassing spirit energy in his right hand, Yusuke neutralized Hiei's black dragon with his Spirit Wave and purged the darkness out of Hiei's body. Having restored Hiei to normal, the Spirit Detectives regrouped and recollected their spiritual energies in preparation against the Paradius duo.
Despite being outnumbered, Ventus Eris, Asuka & Cyber Angel Vishnu, and Anzu & Magi Magi Magician Gal fought their hardest against Earthbound God Ccarayhua, Aki & Sin Blood Rose Dragon, Mai & Sin Harpie's Pet Dragon - Saint Fire Giga, and Dark Aquarius Mercury.
Targeting the Earthbound deity, Ventus Eris blasted the giant lizard with a giant tornado attack. After knocking over the Earthbound monster, Ventus Eris pummeled it with a powerful wind blast. Then, Dark Aquarius Mercury sneak attacked the Kuiper with a water blast. Narrowly dodging Mercury's attack, Ventus Eris summoned a lasso, which she used to defend herself from Dark Aquaris Mercury's ice dagger.
Meanwhile, Asuka and Anzu's monsters fiercely battled Aki and Mai's. When it seemed like Aki and Mai's monster's vicious attacks would win them the battle, Asuka helped turn the tide as her Cyber Angel Vishnu received a boost, enabling her to beat down Sin Blood Rose Dragon. Then, after Anzu enhanced her Magi Magi Magician Gal's mystic power, they defeated Mai and Sin Harpie's Pet Dragon with a magical hat and trap combination. After the battle, Aki and Mai were freed from Paradius' control. The female Duelists then united against Earthbound God Ccarayhua and defeated it.
After disarming Dark Aquarius Mercury's ice blade, Ventus Eris lassoed Mercury and used its mystic properties to purify the Inner Guardian. After Paradius' control was purged from her, Dark Aquarius Mercury turned back into Aquarius Mercury.
While Luca and Ancient Fairy Dragon engaged Earthbound God Cusillu, Sara and Dorothel worked together against Caelum Uranus. Caelum Uranus attacked them with her Space Sword. As Sara occupied Uranus in a sword duel, Dorothel repelled the Sailor Guardian with a force push and then used her lightsaber to remove Paradius' corrupt energies from Caelum Uranus.
With Caelum Uranus freed, they helped Luca and Ancient Fairy Dragon finish off the evil monkey deity.
Brandishing her battle axe, Aduro Varuna went head-on with Rosa Quaoar, who fought back with her thorn vine whips and life-sucking Vampire Roses. With a quick swing of her axe, Varuna knocked away her lover's floral barrage. Then, using a quick Flash Step, Varuna quickly got behind Quaoar and used her light to purify her lover. Catching Rosa Quaoar from falling, Aduro Varuna leaned over as the lovers kissed passionately.
Meanwhile, Rei & Power Angel Valkyria managed to hold off Earthbound God Aslla piscu as best as she could. When Aduro Varuna and Rosa Quaoar joined the fight, they quickly defeated the Earthbound deity.
Fubuki and Meteor Black Comet Dragon quickly engaged and battered Earthbound God Uru. As the Duel Monsters clashed, Alice and Plutomon fought Potio Ixion, After evading Potio Ixion's poisonous arrows, Plutomon cast a powerful s that neutralized Potio Ixion and removed Paradius' dark power. After being freed, Potio Ixion aided Plutomon and Fubuki in bringing down the giant spider deity.
Taken aback by Earthbound God Wiraqocha Rasca's presence, Yugi summoned the Legendary Gods. After sending the three gods to engage the condor deity, Yugi turned his attention toward Judai and Yusei. Judai readily conjured Elemental HERO Neos Krieger while Yusei summoned Shooting Quasar Dragon. Judai's monster went head to head against Manjoume and Sin Armed Dragon Thunder LV10. Yusei and Shooting Quasar Dragon engaged Jack and Sin Scar-Red Supernova Dragon.
Setting his sights on his rival, the mind-controlled Seto sent his Sin Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon to finish the King of Games. Heeding Yugi's life in danger, Obelisk intercepted Seto's dragon and pummeled it with a powerful punch. Then, Yugi combined his Legendary Gods into Horakhty. Horakhty then delivered the finishing blow and destroyed Earthbound God Wiraqocha Rasca. After vanquishing the Earthbound God, Horakhty cast her divine light over Seto, Manjoume, and Jack, and purified them.
While Kotori, Himura, and Omegamon IM went to great lengths to fight off the three corrupted Biomerged Tamers, Hōō Mars and Yami Hōō recommenced their heated duel following their first encounter at Hikawa Shrine. Focused on avenging her grandfather's death, Hōō Mars fought fiercely against her dark counterpart. Yami Hōō pushed Hōō Mars' limit enough that they engaged their cosmic war in the sky.
Crossing both his Dramon Sword and Garuru Cannon, Omegamon IM unleashed an amassed ice sphere that crashed into BlackSaintGalgomon. Then, Omegamon IM clashed head-on with ChaosDukemon. When Kuzuhamon attacked from the rear, Omegamon IM narrowly dodged the dark purple-armored Biomerged warrior. As Kuzuhamon tossed scrolls imbued with black fire foxes, Omegamon IM obliterated them with his Garuru Cannon. When Omegamon IM dropped his guard, ChaosDukemon launched his Shield Destructor, which Omegamon IM destroyed with his Dramon Sword. After taking down Kuzuhamon, Omegamon IM and ChaosDukemon briefly clashed. After Omegamon IM gained an upper hand, ChaosDukemon transformed into Dukemon Chaos Mode.
Unleashing a barrage of devastating unholy blasts, Dukemon Chaos Mode kept Omegamon IM scurrying. As Omegamon IM continued keeping his distance, Dukemon CM threw his lance toward him. Omegamon IM fired back with successive waves of fire and ice from his MetalSeadramon and BlackMetalGarurumon heads, breaking through Dukemon CM's armor. Then, Omegamon IM delivered a powerful uppercut with his Dramon and Sword and shattered Dukemon CM's defenses, causing him to shatter his own armor and transform into Megidramon X. As Megidramon X launched himself at Omegamon IM, Omegamon IM amassed light energy in his Dramon Sword and swung it at Megidramon X's direction, which engulfed him, BlackSaintGalgomon, and Kuzuhamon in a massive explosion. As the explosive light diminished, the corrupted Biomerged Digimon were purified and restored to their normal selves. Dukemon
Meanwhile, Amare Venus was left to contend with the Rajita Warlords Ghidorah, Gamera, and Gyaos. Realizing the odds were firmly stacked against her, and with no one to aid her, Venus took the initiative and fought the three Warlords with her Holy Sword. Recalling it took Sailor Moon and everyone else's power to defeat Ghidorah, Venus gave it her all. As the trio fired off simultaneous eye beams, Venus easily blocked and deflected them with her sword. As she went head to head with Ghidorah, she displayed and surprised the former arena gladiator with her impressive fighting skills. She managed to ward off the three Warlords effortlessly until they merged into an amalgamated kaiju monster named Ghyaomerah. With a single wipe, the amalgamated monstrosity sent Amare Venus crashing through a building. Having recovered from her fall, Venus brandished her sword and valiantly fought Ghyaomerah to a standstill.
After flying across the Earth once, Hōō Mars and Yami Hōō collided as their cosmic flames coalesced. Amid their head-on collision, their fiery power created shockwaves that shook the planet.
When Hōō Mars returned with Yami Hōō following her, Hōō Mars unleashed a cosmic fire blast that weakened Ghyaomerah. The Tamers and their Digimon arrived to briefly attack Ghyaomerah. Backing up Omegamon IM, Dukemon went into Crimson Mode as the two Digimon delivered devastating blasts that brought Ghyaomerah to his knees.
Seizing this opportunity, and after Hōō Mars' flames imbued her Holy Blade, Amare Venus delivered a powerful slash with her flaming Holy Blade and sliced Ghyaomerah in two. In a spectacular moment that firmly established her as leader of the Inners, Venus sealed the fate of the Rajita Warlords in the name of her future queen.
However, that celebration was short-lived. Yami Hōō quickly absorbed Ghyaomerah's burned ashes and incorporated the Rajita Warlords' powers into her being. As a result, Yami Hōō's outward appearance changed. A pair of feathery and scaly black wings popped out of her back, her face gained scales, she grew fangs, and her hands and feet gained claws. Her eyes even turned green and gained lizard-like silts. Still sporting the black phoenix cloak, she had become Yami Rajita Hōō.
After effortlessly blasting away Amare Venus, the Biomerged Tamers, and Omegamon IM, Yami Rajita Hōō commenced her duel with Hōō Mars. At first, the unhinged Yami Rajita Hōō was far more powerful. Before she could claim Sailor Mars's life, Sailor Cosmos' light reached Hōō Mars, not only healing her but granting her a white fiery cloak. Hōō Mars became the White Hōō, who then fought Yami Rajita Hōō and ultimately destroyed her dark counterpart. Ensuring the enemy didn't regenerate, White Hōō Mars absorbed and purified Yami Rajita Hōō's remains into her phoenix cloak. With Yami Rajita Hōō gone, the black phoenix and the Rajita Warlords were purged from existence.

Leading the charge against ShinMillenniummon, Taichi and Yamato beckoned Omegamon MM to tear apart one half of Paradius. ShinMillennimmon quickly collided head-on with Omegamon MM, who pushed back against the evil entity. Firing beams from his eyes, Shin-Millenniummon effortlessly pushed Omegamon away. Justimon jumped onto and mounted ShinMillenniummon's back while hammering him with earth-shattering punches. Unleashing his draconic-like aura, the entity brushed Justimon off.
"Heheheh, surely you can do better than this?!" ShinMillenniummon mocked his opponents. However, when he turned his head, Omegamon MM gave him a glancing blow with his Grey Sword. As he unleashed multi-hit blows with his Gurei Tou, Omegamon MM wounded ShinMillenniummon's face.
As the Digidestined cheered Omegamon MM on, Taichi and Yamato yelled out. "Let him have it, Omegamon!"
"That's right! Get him, Omegamon!" Taichi shouted. "You're not as invulnerable as you'd like to think you are, Millenniummon!"
ShinMillenniummon chuckled as his facial wounds self-regenerated. "Good job, Digidestined. I can see why you've managed to overcome the virus. Your bond with your Digimon pets is stronger than I perceived!"
"Today is the end for you, Millenniummon! After all the pain and anguish your actions put us through, your reckoning comes now! You and Charon's plans for our future fall apart here!" Taichi declared ShinMillenniummon's imminent demise. "Give it all you've got, Omegamon!"
As Omegamon MM attacked ShinMillenniummon again, the evil entity fired multiple eye lasers, which the Holy Knight narrowly evaded. Opening his mouth, ShinMillenniummon's Chrono Paradox vaporized everything in his path, except Omegamon MM and Justimon, who continued evading contact with the atomic beams. Fighting on Wallace's behalf, Rapidmon X and Cherubimon X double-teamed against ShinMillenniummon. Firing his Rapid Blaster in conjunction with Cherubimon X's Heaven's Judgement, the combination of missiles and heavenly lightning bolts bombarded and ripped into ShinMillenniummon's body. As the evil entity tried retaliating against Wallace's Digimon, Ancientmon quickly intervened and nullified ShinMillenniummon's destructive beams.
"Oh, you want some of me now, 'God'?!" ShinMillenniummon mocked the digital deity, who unleashed an aurora-colored wave that repelled him away. "Hehehe, you're starting to lose your edge, ancient one! Once the End of Days is complete and we've converted these heroes, we'll turn them loose against you to send a message to the other realities that we're not to be trifled with!"
On the opposite side of the ongoing ShinMillenniummon battle, Imperialdramon Paladin Mode clashed with the mind-controlled Susanoomon. When Susanoomon summoned ZERO-ARMS Orochi, the divine warrior slashed Imperialdramon PM. However, Imperialdramon PM stopped Susanoomon's weapon with his Omega Blade. Opening up a cannon inside his chest, Imperialdramon PM blasted Susanoomon back with Giga Death. Susanoomon then pushed back Imperialdramon PM's beam. When Imperialdramon PM tried his Positron Laser, Susanoomon immobilized him with incandescent lightning bolts, which knocked over Imperialdramon PM.
"No, Imperialdramon!" Daisuke and Ken cried out with concern.
"Get up and kick his ass, Imperialdramon!" Daisuke encouraged him, causing Imperialdramon PM to stir and stand up.
As Susanoomon prepared to bisect Imperialdramon PM with Heavenly Wings Beheading, Dukemon CM and ShineGreymon BM both intervened and halted Susanoomon's attack. Dukemon CM cut through Susanoomon's sword with his Invincible Sword. Enveloping himself with a glowing aura, ShineGreymon BM shattered Susanoomon's defenses with his Shining Blast. As Omegamon InuMizuchi Mode, SaintGalgomon, and Sakuyamon arrived, they along with Dukemon CM and ShineGreymon BM helped Imperialdramon PM overwhelm Susanoomon. Uniting their powers, Imperialdramon PM, Dukemon CM, and ShineGreymon BM purified Susanoomon and purged Paradius' influence from their ally.
Once Susanoomon was restored, ShinMillenniummon was left to contend with the various Digimon. Gathering chaotic energy, ShinMillenniummon unleashed his Dimension Destroyer, sending blasts that neutralized most of the Digimon. Ancientmon used this moment to restore the Digimon and undo ShinMillenniummon's viral effects. Omegamon MM, Imperialdramon PM, Dukemon CM, Susanoomon, and ShineGreymon MM rebounded quicker than the others and attacked ShinMillenniummon.
"You are becoming a nuisance, ancient one!" ShinMillenniummon hissed angrily as he blasted Ancientmon with Dimension Destroyer. As he managed to neutralize Ancientmon, ShinMillenniummon turned his sights on the remaining Digimon. "Did you see that? If Ancientmon can fall, so will the rest of you! Don't deny your fates, you shall become one with Paradius! If not, then you shall perish!"
"Dream on, Millenniummon! Some of us won't kneel to you again!" Dukemon CM retorted, refusing to let Paradius mind control him and his friends again.
"Your end is at hand, Millenniummon!" Justimon declared.
"Not a chance, Millenniummon! Your days of manipulating people under yours and Charon's wing are over!" Taichi protested ShinMillenniummon's end goal.
Launching himself toward the Digimon, ShinMillenniummon fired atomic lasers at them. Omegamon MM, Dukemon CM, Imperialdramon PM, Susanoomon, Justimon, and ShineGreymon BM unleashed a united assault on ShinMillenniummon. In response, ShinMillenniummon bombarded the vicinity with atomic lasers and repelled his adversaries easily.
"If you won't join us… THEN FACE OBLITERATION!" ShinMillenniummon bellowed while standing over his beaten adversaries. When Omegamon MM and his allies stood ready to fight, the Duelists arrived with their Duel Monsters, most notably Yugi & Horakhty, Judai & Elemental HERO Neos Krieger/God Neos, and Yusei & Shooting Quasar Dragon.
"The only one facing obliteration will be you, Millenniummon!" Yugi boldly declared.
"Take this, you overgrown freak!" Judai and Yusei shouted together as their monsters along with Horakhty bombarded ShinMillenniummon with divine blasts.
"Nice. Thanks, Yugi, Judai, and Yusei!" Dukemon CM shouted.
"See? It's not just us you're contending with Millenniummon! Us heroes watch each other's backs!" Taichi cried out.
Recovering from the Duelists' attacks, ShinMillenniummon readily fired atomic lasers at Yugi, Judai, and Yusei's monsters. Omegamon MM, Dukemon CM, Susanoomon, and ShineGreymon BM quickly intercepted and stopped ShinMillenniummon's beams. ShinMillenniummon rushed toward his Digimon and Duel Monster adversaries, fighting off and bombarding them with beams.
"YOU CAN ALL PERISH!" ShinMillenniummon bellowed while fighting off Susanoomon and ShineGreymon BM. As Dukemon CM blasted him with Quo Vadis, sections of ShinMillenniummon's body were destroyed before self-regenerating himself. Imperialdramon PM then slashed ShinMillenniummon's left arm off with Omega Blade.
With his ZERO-ARMS OROCHI, Susanoomon fired off two spheres that converged into greater power energy that collided with ShinMillenniummon. Dukemon CM, Sakuyamon, and SaintGalgomon united their powers and unleashed Trinity Burst on Shin Millenniummon. Justimon then pulverized ShinMillenniummon with his Blitz Arm. The combination of these attacks dealt considerable damage to ShinMillenniummon. Emerging from the rubble, ShineGreymon BM and Masaru fired off with fiery shots into ShinMillenniummon. As Masaru clocked ShinMillenniummon's face, ShineGreymon BM slashed the evil entity with his Corona Blaze Sword.
Under Kotori and Himura's guidance, Omegamon IM swung his glowing Grey Sword and blasted ShinMillenniummon with an Omega Blast
Omegamon MM readied his Grey Sword and Garuru Cannon before unleashing a dual attack. Combining Gurei Tou and Garuru Tou, Omegamon MM forged a powerful sphere of light that collided with and damaged ShinMillenniummon.
When Rapidmon X and Cherubimon X bombarded ShinMillenniummon with a barrage of blasts, Wallace yelled out defiantly. "This is for all the pain and anguish you brought us with that cursed virus! Lopmon was infected by your stupid virus and turned into a monster! WE WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!"
"No, I won't let this defeat me! I CAN NOT AND WILL NOT BE DEFEATED!" ShinMillenniummon screamed as his roars shook the entire city.
"Everyone, lend us your power!" Taichi beckoned the other Digiteams and their Digimon.
When every Digidestined, Tamer, Legendary Warriors, DATS member, and other Digihero ally sent their power toward Omegamon MM, the miraculous warrior infused their energies into his Grey Sword, which extended into a long shining katana brimming with white light. ShinMillenniummon sensed the immeasurable power coursing through Omegamon MM's shining blade and instinctively attacked him head-on. Omegamon MM swiftly evaded ShinMillenniummon's beams and swung the glowing blade, unleashing an immense beam that collided with and blasted the evil entity away.
"HEHEHEH! THIS WON'T BE ENOUGH TO DEFEAT ME!" ShinMillenniummon screamed. Then, in the blink of an eye, Omegamon MM swung his shining blade over ShinMillenniummon's head.
"BUT THIS WILL! IT'S OVER, MILLENNIUMMON! THIS IS PAYBACK FOR ALL THE SUFFERING YOUR VIRUS DID TO OUR DIGIMON AND FOR ALL THE HELL YOU'VE BROUGHT ON US!" Taichi shouted as Omegamon MM mightily swung his Grey Katana and bisected ShinMillenniummon cleanly.
At that moment, it seemed like the battle had been decided and one-half of Paradius was vanquished.
The other half of Paradius clashed with Sailor Cosmos above Tokyo. With their cosmic auras flaring up, Sailor Cosmos and Sailor Chaos flew around each other at light speeds and caused immediate shock waves to shake the city. As they abruptly collided with each other, they conjured swords in their hands. Brandishing her Cosmosastra Sword, Sailor Cosmos amassed and harnessed the cosmic powers of Cosmosastra. In response, Sailor Chaos wielded her Chaosastra Sword and invoked the chaotic energies of Chaosastra.
"Though our powers are equal, I'll show you that I have better control of Chaosastra's power!" Sailor Chaos boasted as she and Cosmos clashed head-on with their swords. As Sailor Cosmos defended with her Cosmosastra Sword, Sailor Chaos wildly struck with her Chaosastra Sword. For a moment, she had the upper hand over Sailor Cosmos.
When Sailor Chaos let her guard down for a second, Sailor Cosmos swiftly slashed Sailor Chaos' left side. Sailor Chaos retaliated and repelled Sailor Cosmos with a dark aura. Then, Sailor Chaos summoned her mind-controlled warriors, who were Volodramon, Tuxedo Mask, Perseus, and Platinum Orcus.
"Heheh, how about entertaining me by fighting your lover, future queen? I'm sure you've been in this dance before," Sailor Chaos chortled as the mind-controlled Tuxedo Mask attacked Sailor Cosmos, who fought him off with her Cosmosastra Sword.
"ENOUGH!" Tempus Pluto shouted as she flew into Sailor Chaos and smashed Chaos' face with her staff.
"Heheh, I'm glad you could join us, Temporal Hikikomori. Oh, sorry, did you want me to call you sister? A pathetic thing like you will never be my sister. You could've had more if you let Chaos consume you," Sailor Chaos taunted Tempus Pluto.
"As far as us not being sisters goes, the feeling is mutual!"
"I'm glad we're on the same page. So, are you ready to die?" Sailor Chaos asked. "Or, better yet… why don't we have another lovers' quarrel? I think Lupe here wants to break up with you." She pointed to Volodramon, who dove toward Tempus Pluto and attacked her.
Quickly fending off Volodramon with her Garnet Staff, Tempus Pluto fought with every inch of her life at stake. When Volodramon fired his Temporal Exaflare, Tempus Pluto nullified his attack with her Dead Scream. As Perseus and Platinum Orcus tried sneak attacking Tempus Pluto, Glacialis Sedna, Prince Sedna, and Sailor Arctic Sedna intercepted their mind-controlled friends.
"Dimitri, stop! Please, Chaos has you under her will!" Glacialis Sedna pleaded with Perseus.
"Dad! Listen to us!" Arctic Sedna called out to him.
"Stop now, Christina! Don't make me take drastic measures!" Prince Sedna warned Platinum Orcus.
"That won't be needed. We just need to purify them from Chaos' control," Sedna said.
"That's right. Don't worry, uncle Ken. We'll have Dimitri and Christina back in no time," Arctic Sedna reassured him.
"Heheheh, not if they kill you first!" Sailor Chaos laughed as she beckoned Perseus and Platinum Orcus to fight their friends. Almost dropping her guard, Sailor Chaos narrowly dodged Sailor Cosmos' Cosmosastra Sword and swung her Chaosastra Sword, which unleashed a powerful wave that repelled Sailor Cosmos. Setting her sights on Tempus Pluto's battle against Volodramon, she interjected and taunted Pluto. "What's wrong? Do you not have the guts to kill your lover? Because he's more than willing to take your head on my behalf!"
Tempus Pluto tried mentally blocking off Sailor Chaos' heinous taunts.
"You can ignore me all you want but you will mentally crumble," Sailor Chaos mockingly sneered at Pluto's expense. Just then, she felt something off about Pluto and probed her body. When she sensed a living essence inside Tempus Pluto's belly, a conniving smirk adorned her face. "Heheh, what do we have here? Did the Temporal Hikikomori finally settle down and get laid? Much less get impregnated with your boy toy? My congratulations to you then! Tell me, is it going to be a boy or a girl?!"
"That's none of your concern!" Tempus Pluto fired back.
"But I'm so curious! How in the world do a half-Digimon thing and a human have a child? Granted, I can't exactly call you a normal human either. So, two genetic freaks conceiving a greater genetic freak? I wonder what the child is going to look like?"
"Shut up!"
Sailor Chaos continued taunting her. "Oh, but what I want to know is how those erotic sessions went? Did it go something like this?" As she caressed her crotch, Sailor Chaos's face contorted with overly erotic expressions, and spoke in a heavily erotic tone. "Oh, oh, oh… Oh! OH! OH GOD, YES! SHOVE THAT DIGITIZED DICK IN ME! HARDER! HARDER, LUPE! OHHHH! OHHHH!" As her facial expressions wildly contorted, she let out audible and obnoxiously erotic moans to spite Tempus Pluto, who found herself struggling against Volodramon's ferocious attacks. "GO ON, LUPE! FUCK ME HARD LIKE THE TEMPORAL VIRGIN THAT I AM! FUCK MY BRAINS OUT, LUPE! OHHHH! OHHHH!" Once she started Tempus Pluto losing her focus, Sailor Chaos pressed on and taunted her in an erotic voice. "Oh! And guess what? After I'm done with you, I'm going to take your toy boy along for a little ride and breed with him once I'm done controlling all of you and overthrowing my insipid partner Millenniummon. Then, after that is all said and done, I'm going to spread our chaotic children throughout other realities and watch as the dimensional dominoes fall. Even that Yami Ghidorah will have no choice but to take notice of the hell I'm going to unleash on him! OHHHH! OHHHH! And it's all thanks to you and your friends, you Temporal Hikikomori!"
As every malicious word and intent was heard, Temporal Pluto's body shook to its core and she let out a blood-curdling scream full of vitriol. "I'VE HEARD A FUCKING ENOUGH FROM YOU, YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT! YOU CAN MOCK ME ALL YOU WANT BUT I WILL NOT LET YOU DISPARAGE LUPE IN SUCH A DISPARAGING MANNER! AND FOR THREATENING TO TAKE HIM FROM ME, I'M GOING TO RIP YOU INTO MOTHER FUCKING PIECES, YOU FUCKING WHORE OF CHAOS!" With enough anger built, Tempus Pluto struck Volodramon's chest with her Garnet Rod. Then, as she detached her Garnet Orb, she unleashed its power, which neutralized Volodramon.
Taking advantage of the situation, Sailor Cosmos used her cosmic power to purify Volodramon and Tuxedo Mask, thus removing Chaos' wicked control. As he came to his senses, Volodramon saw his lover seething mad but with her anger being directed towards Sailor Chaos.
"I'm not even going to ask what happened, Pluto," Volodramon muttered as he painstakingly eyed Sailor Chaos.
"Awww, you purified my soon-to-be husband, but that's ok. After the Sailor Wars is over, I'll convert you all into my willing slaves and keep Volodramon to myself so we can…" before Sailor Chaos can get out another word, Tempus Pluto quickly flew up and attacked her head-on.
"THAT'S ENOUGH OUT OF YOU, BITCH!" Tempus Pluto unleashed a flurry of staff strikes at Sailor Chaos, who fought off the Time Guardian's blows. Once Sailor Cosmos, Tuxedo Mask, and Volodramon joined in, Chaos found herself in a heap of trouble.
Meanwhile, Glacialis Sedna, Prince Sedna, and Arctic Sedna engaged Perseus and Platinum Orcus. Utilizing his sword, Perseus mercilessly slashed at Sedna and Arctic Sedna. When Glacialis Sedna froze Perseus' arm and sword with ice, Arctic Sedna delivered quick slashes all over Perseus' body. Upon receiving Cosmos' light, Sedna used it to purify Perseus and freed him from Chaos' control.
"Huh? Karin? Athena?" Perseus blinked while coming to his senses.
"Welcome back, dad," Arctic Sedna gleefully said.
"Sailor Chaos had you under her control. It's ok, you're free now, sweetie," Sedna said.
As Platinum Orcus fiercely attacked Prince Sedna, Prince Sedna parried her blows and knocked her away with an energy wave. Before Platinum Orcus could strike back, Sedna used Cosmos' power to purify Orcus.
As she came to her senses, Orcus gasped. "Oh god, I almost tried to kill you, Kensuke!"
"It's ok, Christina. I'm glad you're you again," Prince Sedna replied as they embraced.
"This battle's not over yet. That witch still lives. This is our chance to bring her down once and for all!" Glacialis Sedna declared. With that, she and her group headed off to help Sailor Cosmos, Tempus Pluto, and the others defeat Sailor Chaos.
In no time, the other Sailor Guardians and Kuiper Guardians arrived to fight Sailor Chaos. Then, the Spirit Detectives, the Starlights, the Time Thieves, and the Valkyries joined in the fray in the final stand against Sailor Chaos.
Leading the way for the Sailor Guardians, Amare Venus glided toward and swung her Holy Sword at Sailor Chaos. At the same time, Caelum Uranus attacked Sailor Chaos with her Space Sword. Sailor Chaos effortlessly stopped Venus and Uranus' blades while tossing them aside and flinging their swords at them. Mare Neptune quickly forged an oceanic barrier from her Aqua Mirror, which protected Uranus and Venus from getting skewered by their swords.
Aquarius Mercury sent a roaring tidal wave toward Sailor Chaos, who got caught in the watery mouth but emerged a little worse for wear. Tonitrus Jupiter quickly propelled in front of Sailor Chaos and unleashed a barrage of lightning bolts. Sailor Chaos managed to dodge the bolts. Swinging her Silence Glaive, Exitium Saturn quickly slashed the chaotic witch's back. White Hōō Mars then swooped in and engulfed Sailor Chaos with white-hot flames.
As she narrowly escaped Hōō Mars' fiery trap, Sailor Chaos was attacked from all sides by the Kuiper Belt Guardians. Sailor Chaos nullified Potio Ixion's poisonous arrows with a dark aura. As Ventus Eris flung her lasso toward Sailor Chaos, the chaotic woman quickly seized Eris' rope and tossed her aside. Rosa Quaoar unleashed a barrage of rose thorns and Vampire Roses to suck Sailor Chaos' life dry but Sailor Chaos unleashed a dark aura that burned the projectiles away. Platinum Orcus tossed dark spheres toward Sailor Chaos. When Sailor Chaos dodged, Aduro Varuna quickly phased in front of Sailor Chaos and nearly beheaded her with an axe swing.
When Prince Sedna appeared beside her, he blasted her with a Ryuken Wave. After hitting her with his signature energy attack, Prince Sedna overwhelmed her with Requiem Beams. Then, after Glacialis Sedna struck Sailor Chaos with her ko-naginata, Glacialis Sedna and Arctic Sedna combined their ice power and bombarded her with Sedna Icicle Spears.
When the Valkyries attacked her, Skogul, fighting on Pluto's behalf, slashed at Sailor Chaos with her Quern-biter. At the same time, Skogul conjured her Alfheim magical spell, Heimdall's Mandalas, and manifested beams. Sailor Chaos formed a black barrier, protecting her from Skogul's attacks. Mist swiftly tried dispelling Sailor Chaos's dark cloak with her Celadon Wind but to no avail. Sigrun imbued magic through her spear and fired a radiance beam toward Sailor Chaos.
After nullifying Sigrun's beam, Gondul shapeshifted into a Barbary lioness and lunged at Sailor Chaos, slamming her into the ground. Then, after Gondul tried mauling Sailor Chaos, the Animorph Valkyrie turned into a Chenanisaurus and used her long tail to fling Sailor Chaos into a building. As Gondul rushed Sailor Chaos, she attempted to catch Sailor Chaos in her jaws. Sailor Chaos repelled the theropod beast with her dark aura, prompting Gondul to turn into a Barbary stag to flee from the dark mist that would've killed her.
Diving in out of nowhere, Brunhilde slashed Sailor Chaos with her sword. Then, Brunhilde conjured earth and debris to mold into a woman's face. Having summoned Erda's Grace, Brunhilde caused the earthly woman's visage to explode into thousands of earth shards, which Sailor Chaos burned with her dark aura.
Afterward, the Starlights and Time Thieves attacked Sailor Chaos in tandem. At one point, Sailor Healer and Time Thief Redoer double-teamed against Sailor Chaos. Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Shaka, and Aoshi attacked Sailor Chaos. Wading through Yusuke's Spirit Gun, Hiei's Sword of the Darkness Flame, Kurama's Rose Whip, and Kuwabara's Dimension Sword, Sailor Chaos brushed away the Spirit Detectives with her dark aura.
Reuniting with Arctic Sedna, Princess Serenity III and the future Sailor Guardians briefly fought Sailor Chaos.
Finally, it came down to Sailor Cosmos, Tuxedo Mask, Tempus Pluto, and Volodramon against Sailor Chaos. Following Tuxedo Mask's La Smoking Bomber, Tempus Pluto and Volodramon combined Dead Scream and Temporal Exoflare which did considerable damage to Sailor Chaos. Finally, Sailor Cosmos blasted Sailor Chaos away, pushing her toward the ground where she crash-landed in a heap.
As Sailor Chaos stirred, she witnessed ShinMillenniummon collapsing near her. She saw that his massive body had been cut in two. When she looked up, she saw Omegamon MM, Imperialdramon PM, Dukemon CM, ShineGreymon BM, and the other Digimon landing near her and ShinMillenniummon.
"You let yourself be beaten?" Sailor Chaos scoffed, standing up as she gave ShinMillenniummon an irked expression.
"Speak for yourself, you look pitiful," ShinMillenniummon muttered as he started to put himself back together.
"Take them down!" Taichi declared.
With that, the heroes gave the Paradius duo no time to recover. The Sailor & Kuiper Guardians, the Spirit Detectives, the Valkyries, the Starlights, and the Time Thieves battered Sailor Chaos. The Digimon and Duelists mercilessly attacked the weakened ShinMillenniummon. Amid the gang attack, Gondul transformed into a North African elephant and shoved her tusks into ShinMillenniummon's left hind leg. Then, she turned into a Giraffatitan and used her sauropod-sized body to smash into ShinMillenniummon's side. Dukemon CM, among others who were brainwashed, used this opportunity to batter the Paradius duo like there was no tomorrow. White Hōō Mars enveloped herself in white cosmic flames and burned the Paradius duo with it.
Delivering the critical blow to the evil entity, Omegamon MM bisected still burning ShinMillenniummon's head and defeated him. At the same time, Sailor Cosmos cut Sailor Chaos's chest open with her Cosmosastra Sword.
At that moment, the Paradius duo had been struck down along with their now shattered egos.

All of these individuals cheered in unison for the heroes and placed their hopes on them defeating the Paradius duo.
Having fallen in defeat, Sailor Chaos and ShinMillenniummon lay prone next to each other. Then, Sailor Chaos opened her eyes and pivoted over to ShinMillenniummon's side.
"I can still fight them. Let us finish them while we have the chance…" ShinMillenniummon weakly muttered.
Nodding, Sailor Chaos. "Yes…" Her scowl curved into a menacing grin. "...too bad, you won't be around to see our enemies suffer!" In a surprise twist that shocked the heroes, Sailor Chaos shoved her Chaosastra Sword through ShinMillenniummon's head and extracted his evil powers for herself.
"SO, YOU'VE DECIDED TO FINISH ME NOW AND EXTRACT MY POWER FOR YOURSELF?!"
Sailor Chaos cackled evilly. "You should've seen this coming, my partner-in-crime. One of us was going to stab the other in the back. You waited too long and you got caught up in the heat of the battle. That cost you and look where it got you now!"
"WELL DONE FOR HAVING THE GUTS TO PULL THIS OFF BUT LET'S SEE WHERE IT TAKES YOU! VICTORY OR DEFEAT?!"
"I suppose we'll see. Goodbye, Prophet," Sailor Chaos chuckled and extracted ShinMillenniummon's full power, incorporating it all into her body. Having taken in his power, Millenniummon's body and presence ceased to be.
(Cue Final Fantasy Dissidia NT - God of Fire (Orchestra))
As the heroes backed away, they witnessed Sailor Chaos' power ascending to greater heights. She and her Chaosastra Sword grew to ShinMillenniummon's size. With Chaos' and Millenniummon's powers flowing through her, the chaotic witch became a giant humanoid force of nature made entirely out of black chaotic space matter. Having reached a new pinnacle, the chaos entity became a reckoning force, wielding a power strong enough to threaten the heroes' universe. Everyone is aghast and in despair to see the sheer figure of Sailor Chaos' most powerful form.
Speaking with a deep and monstrous voice, Sailor Chaos threatened her foes. "We are in the final phase of the Sailor Wars. Because you know what? Fuck it all! I don't need you fools anymore! I'll erase all of you heroes and the universe's existence before I challenge Yami Ghidorah in that YYGDM-01 dimension! However, if you can and try to stop me… COME AND FACE YOUR END AT THE HANDS OF SHIN SAILOR CHAOS!"
"I can't believe she absorbed Millenniummon!" Masaru exclaimed.
"As if both of them weren't bad enough, now we have to fight her with both of their powers combined!" Dukemon CM shouted. "But, that's not going to stop me from giving it my all!"
"Same here, Takato and Guilmon! We're still standing after all!" Judai concurred with his friend.
"The best chance of defeating her is purging Chaos out of Charon!" Sailor Cosmos focused on Shin Sailor Chaos' ultimate weakness.
"Easier said than done! Her Chaos power is growing out of control!" Amare Venus cried out.
"Yes, but so what? We only have one chance to take her down! If we don't, her chaotic power will increase and continue to do so until no one can defeat her!" Tempus Pluto said, firming her resolve to finish Sailor Charon once and for all.
"LET US BEGIN THE PURGING OF THE LIGHT! AS LONG AS YOU'RE STILL ALIVE PLUTO, YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS SHALL NOW WITNESS THE LOSS OF EVERYTHING YOU LOVE AND HOLD DEAR! AND AS LONG AS HUMANITY HAVE LOST ALL HOPE, THEIR DESPAIR AND LACK OF HOPE GIVES ME STRENGTH!" Shin Sailor Chaos bellowed as she started spreading her chaotic energies across the city. Her end goal was purging everything on the entire planet and finally the entire universe.
As they spread out and avoided getting caught in Shin Sailor Chaos's dark and chaotic energies, the heroes launched a united assault against the unstable force of nature.
Sailor Cosmos, the Sailor Guardians, the Kuiper Guardians, Omegamon MM, the four Biomerged Tamers, Imperialdramon PM, Judai & Elemental HERO Neos Krieger/God Neos, Yugi & Horakhty, Yusei & Shooting Quasar Dragon, ShineGreymon BM, Susanoomon, the Spirit Detectives, Plutomon, Dorothel, Omegamon IM, Cherubimon X, Rapidmon X, the Valkyries, The Starlights, the Time Thieves, Volodramon, and Ancientmon launched a frontal assault on Shin Sailor Chaos, who lobbed destructive black beams toward her enemies. Most of the heroes put up barriers, nullifying most of the unruly entity's beams.
Gathering divine light from her Cosmos Crystal, Sailor Cosmos unleashed an ethereal white beam that collided with Shin Sailor Chaos' body. The Sailor Guardians, also boosted by White Hōō Mars, launched a white fiery wave that tore through Shin Sailor Chaos. The Kuiper Guardians, Perseus, Prince Sedna, and Arctic Sedna pushed back against Shin Sailor Chaos' black beams with their combined energy attack. Omegamon MM, Imperialdramon PM, ShineGreymon BM, and Susanoomon used their swords to push back Shin Sailor Chaos' Chaosastra Sword, which was larger than all of the aforementioned Digimon combined. Yugi, Judai, and Yusei's monsters launched powerful attacks into Shin Sailor Chaos. The others fired off repeated attacks on the giant entity.
Shin Sailor Chaos used her massive body as a barrier and absorbed the impact of her opponents' united assault. With a swing from her Chaosastra Sword, she knocked them all away with ease. As Tempus Pluto flew back, Volodramon reached out and caught his lover.
"We're not out of this fight just yet, Pluto!" Volodramon yelled. As Tempus Pluto raised her Garnet Staff, she fired off an attack from her Garnet Rod while Volodramon lobbed a Temporal Exaflare. As both attacks launched at the same time, they merged into a fiery temporal wave that drew the entity's attention.
"LOOK AT HOW EASILY I CAN CRUSH YOU VERMIN! I HAVE SURPASSED HUMAN LIMITATIONS! NOW, PLUTO, YOU AND YOUR LOVER CAN BE THE FIRST TO DIE! SERVE AS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT I'LL DO TO THE REST OF YOUR FRIENDS!" Shin Sailor Chaos bellowed as she readily swung her Chaosastra Sword toward Tempus Pluto and Volodramon.
As her giant sword came down, Sailor Arctic Sedna flew up and shockingly attacked Shin Sailor Chaos' sword head-on. Upon seeing their distant future daughter stand up to Shin Sailor Chaos, Glacialis Sedna and Perseus joined in to assist Sailor Arctic Sedna. Prince Sedna and the other Kuiper Guardians, too, helped Arctic Sedna to stop the entity's Chaosastra Sword. Princess Serenity III and the future Sailor Guardians (Cyber Mercury, Blue Mars, Battle Jupiter, Tamamo Venus, and the Sailor Quartet) also joined in to save their future from Shin Sailor Chaos.
"You destroyed my future! I won't let you destroy another! I swear this is where your terror ends, Sailor Charon!" Sailor Arctic Sedna resisted the chaotic entity standing in the way of a bright future for the current timeline. When Shin Sailor Chaos power became too taxing for her and the others, Arctic Sedna formed a barrier and propelled toward the entity.
"ATHENA!" Glacialis Sedna, Perseus, Prince Sedna, and her closest friends & allies cried out in unison.
"Mom, dad, and uncle Ken! It was good to meet all of you! Please, ensure this timeline sees a bright future and make sure I'm born nice and healthy! Can I count on you?!" Arctic Sedna said, noticing tearful smiles from Glacialis Sedna and Perseus.
"Please, you don't have to do this!" Glacialis Sedna pleaded.
"There has to be another way!" Perseus cried out.
"Athena, don't!" Prince Sedna shouted.
"I love you all! Let my sacrifice give you the boost you need to " Arctic Sedna cried out as she infused all of her power into herself. As she launched herself into Shin Sailor Chaos, she entered the entity and exploded into a bright white light.
For a moment, it seemed as if her sacrificial move turned the tide of the battle. However, much to the heroes' dismay, Shin Sailor Chaos still stood with no ill effect. Having seen their daughter sacrifice herself for nothing, Glacialis Sedna, Perseus, Prince Sedna, the Kuiper Guardians, and the future Sailor Guardians poured their hearts out for the future hero. Enraged with his niece's death, Prince Sedna unleashed a flurry of frenzied blasts that temporarily stunned Shin Sailor Chaos. The chaotic being then repelled the group with a dark wave.
"No one person can defeat me now! As long as humanity continues to deny fate, I will fester and grow stronger! And all of that despair is the fuel I need to purge you heroes and the light of the cosmos that shines this universe!" Shin Sailor Chaos shouted as she sent hundreds of black beams that knocked away most of the heroes and obliterated every physical obstruction in her path. As she brought more untold destruction to her surroundings, there was one individual, who had his trust broken and was still broken up over the death of Grace.
Still holding Grace's body close to him, Cain shut his eyes and mulled over the errors he's made. He came to terms with his wrongful judgment of superpowered heroes and allowed Paradius to manipulate his decisions.
"I'm sorry, Grace. I wish I could've listened to you… you might still be alive if…" Cain gritted his teeth and held her hand. "You and Mei have every right to be disappointed in me now."
Then, the sound of a distorted and robotic voice droned, startling Cain as the seemingly damaged SOUJA Prime Core emitted a glow, which pulsated near him. As he noticed the A.I. stirring back to life, Cain crawled over and meticulously eyed the glowing alien A.I. orb as it slowly floated off the ground.
"...do you wish to make a difference and be the hero these beings couldn't…?"
"But, they…" Cain grimaced as he witnessed the heroes' climatic battle against Shin Sailor Chaos roaring and tearing through the city. Shaking his fists and body, he seized the SOUJA Prime Core. "What must I do? Do you not have any power left to merge with me."
"Negative. My functions to complete an action are inoperable… I cannot perform a merger with an organic being…"
"That's just great."
"However, you may transfer your life force through me so we may be able to take action. Do you approve of forfeiting your own life, Mr. Bearer?"
"What have I got to lose?" Cain scoffed as he slowly stood while holding the SOUJA Prime Core. Then, he turned toward Grace's body. "If I'm going to be a hero… I just wish she could see it."
"Time is running short, Mr. Bearer. Will you take a direct course of action against the primordial cosmic entity?" The alien A.I. waited for Cain's decisive choice. Feeling Cain's tight grasp, the SOUJA Prime Core gathered and infused Cain's life energy into itself. At the same time, Cain felt himself receive a small boost as he floated off the ground and toward the ensuing battle.
"But, you said…"
"We have not physically merged but your life energy is substantial enough to deal considerable damage to the entity. Although, it will come with a cost."
(Cue Ivan Torrent - The Power Of Will)
Cain calmly smiled and resigned himself to his inevitable fate. With a final glance toward Grace, the Cain Corp CEO realized he was becoming the hero that he had wished to become since idolizing superheroes as a child. "I've wronged these superpowered heroes… and why? Because that thing over there manipulated me and used my contempt for heroes to harvest the seeds of anguish, despair, and hatred to sow the seeds of anarchy and to give rise to this… chaos! This thing has taken my wife and now my adopted daughter! Humanity and life itself is on the brink of annihilation because of my misguidance! I've neglected those who tried to warn me and wanted me to move on." With his sights set on Shin Sailor Chaos, Cain scowled vehemently. "You're not getting away with making me the fool, chaos. Grace… Mei… and heroes… I cannot undo my previous wrongs… and it's too late to make amends with the heroes and the people I've hurt. And I cannot forgive myself for being Paradius' puppet."
Upon seeing Cain and the SOUJA Prime Core floating over Shin Sailor Chaos, Sailor Cosmos gasped.
"You. No, please don't throw your life away," Sailor Cosmos muttered.
Casting a genuine and hopeful smile, Cain nodded. "Let me have this. After all the misery I've brought and for allowing the Defiant War to sow the seeds of chaos in this world. This is all on me. Please, let me avenge the ones I love."
"But, throwing your life away…!"
With a final nod, Cain shut his eyes and harnessed SOUJA Prime Core's power. "Allow me to become the hero that brought a difference to this world… the hero I wanted to become when I was a boy. I want to help restore humanity's faith and make them realize their actions! Sailor Moon and heroes, allow our light to shine through and purge this darkness!" With that, Cain and SOUJA Prime Core fell onto Shin Sailor Chaos' back and exploded in a shining beacon of light that engulfed and stunned Shin Sailor Chaos.
As Cain's body dissolved within the explosive light, he turned toward Sailor Cosmos and gave her a resolute look.
"Please… do not revive me… let my sacrifice mean something and give you and humanity hope to destroy Chaos. But, please… are you able to save my Grace? She needs to know that I redeemed myself and helped save the world. Restore her and all the others these monstrosities have murdered!"
Nodding, Sailor Cosmos readied her Silver Crystal as it bloomed like a flower and transformed into the Cosmos Crystal. "I'll bring everyone back!" With renewed resolve burning their brightest in her eyes, Sailor Cosmos headed back into the ensuing conflict against Shin Sailor Chaos.
"Mei, at last… we'll finally be reunited… my love," Cain muttered his final words as he vanished inside the bright veil of white light.
"ARGH! DAMN YOU, CAIN BEARER! YOU'VE RUINED EVERYTHING! DON'T YOU THINK YOU'LL GET AWAY WITH THIS!" Charon screamed from within Shin Sailor Chaos. It became more evident through Cain's course of action, a giant hole in Shin Sailor Chaos revealed Sailor Charon. At the same time, it wasn't just Cain but Sailor Arctic Sedna's sacrificial move that finally took effect and neutralized Sailor Charon from within the entity. The delayed effect of Arctic Sedna's sacrificial attack destroyed Shin Sailor Chaos from within. "AND THAT FUCKING BRAT FROM THE FAR FUTURE! HER ATTACK DID MORE THAN BE A USELESS LIGHT SHOW?!"
Upon realizing Arctic Sedna's sacrifice wasn't for nothing, Glacialis Sedna smiled proudly. "Thank you, Athena. We won't forget what you've done for us."
"She's ensured we'd see that bright future!" Sailor Cosmos added.
"Now, everyone! Let's bring her down while she's weakened!" Taichi declared.
Seizing the only chance to defeat Shin Sailor Chaos, the heroes united and unleashed a combined push that drove Sailor Charon out of the Shin Sailor Chaos entity. At the same time, humanity witnessed Cain's actions and had their faith restored. As a result of their renewed faith, it was enough for the heroes the final push to weaken Shin Sailor Chaos. Had not it been for Cain and Athena's sacrifices, Charon would have won due to humanity's nature in denying a bright future. By standing up to fate, the heroes and Cain fought back and overcame Chaos.
After Chaos was removed from Charon, the chaotic witch regressed to her weakest Sailor state. Using her Cosmosastra Sword, Sailor Cosmos destroyed the Chaosastra Sword. Witnessing Chaos abandoning her and leaving the planet, Sailor Charon screamed furiously and let out unrestrained convulsions from the rage she kept locked tight. As she let it all out, Sailor Charon fell into a mental breakdown while screaming and violently punching the ground. As she whirled around, she saw Sailor Cosmos, Tempus Pluto, Dukemon CM, Judai, Yusuke, Masaru, Taichi, Omegamon MM, Volodramon, and others standing in her way.
Seething mad, Charon frothed at the mouth and screamed. "That gutless coward…! You and him… YOU AND HIM STOLE AWAY MY PINNACLE MOMENT! YOU FUCKED ME OVER! YOU WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS! ISN'T THAT RIGHT, PLUTO?!" She shot an enraged glare toward Tempus Pluto, who was unfazed by her sister's vitriolic outburst. "YOU AND THESE HEROES WILL NOT ENJOY THIS PEACE FOREVER! CHAOS WILL RETURN AND WHEN IT DOES… IT…"
Tempus Pluto coldly responded. "When Chaos comes, Sailor Cosmos will be ready. However, your judgment day has arrived." With that, she conjured her Garnet Rod and stormed off toward Sailor Charon. "No one dares interfere! I'm going to resolve this long personal grudge!" Once she reached Charon, Tempus Pluto violently battered Charon's face and body with violent shots with her Garnet Staff. Then, she fired multiple Garnet Orb beams that burned and blasted Charon's body, who fell to her knees and screamed with blood-curdling pain.
When Charon tried to pitifully fight back, Tempus Pluto viciously blasted a hole through Charon's torso, causing her to bleed out. Tempus Pluto then bashed her Garnet Staff across Charon's chin, which nearly decapitated her in a single blow. With Chaos removed, Sailor Charon was nothing more than a punching bag for Tempus Pluto and any others who wanted a shot at her. However, out of respect for Pluto's wishes, the other heroes witnessed Tempus Pluto violently pummeling Charon.
Not one to see Pluto's violent side, Sailor Chibi Moon stood and watched with a neutral expression. Volodramon didn't bother to intervene and stop Pluto.
"THIS IS FOR ALL THE FUCKING PAIN AND ANGUISH YOU'VE BROUGHT TO MY FAMILY AND OUR PLANET'S HISTORY! AND THIS IS FOR NEARLY DESTROYING THIS WORLD! AND MOST OF ALL… THIS IS FOR THREATENING MY UNBORN CHILD! YOU FUCKING WHORE, YOU'VE FINALLY MET YOUR MATCH!" Tempus Pluto threw down her Garnet Staff and slapped Charon hard in her face twenty times before punching her hard and sending her flying back with devastating force. Then, as she picked up her Garnet Staff, Tempus Pluto prepared to make her final moves.
As Sailor Charon rose, she surveyed her surroundings and searched for a way out. Every hero barricaded all possible escape routes. Then, as she looked to teleport, something within her neutralized her. It was Millenniummon's essence, who after being betrayed decided to use his last remnant of himself to restrain his former partner-in-crime in place.
"Millenniummon… how could you… PLEASE, LET ME GO! DON'T LET HER KILL ME!" Sailor Charon pathetically pleaded as Millenniummon's voice laughed inside her.
(End theme)
"What's wrong? Feeling left out without me to hold your hand? You reap with you've sown, Charon. After all, this was your gambit in the end. And this would've been my gambit, too, but you acted on it first. Now, it's time for you to eat just desserts."
"GODDAMN YOU, MILLENNIUMMON! THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY SHINING MOMENT!"
"With Chaos, you would've easily purged that last bit of me that was inside you but now with that entity purged, you became easy pickings."
"AND YOU'RE GOING TO LET PLUTO KILL US?!"
"It's over for us, chaos witch. Paradius has been dissolved."
(Cue Avengers: Endgame OST - I Am Iron Man + Thanos Death)
As Millenniummon's last remnant dissolved within her, Charon found herself on the receiving end of Tempus Pluto beating her to death with her staff. Then, with a powerful swing, Tempus Pluto broke off the top portion of Charon's head, causing black blood to shoot out like a geyser. As Charon fell to her knees, the blood-soaked chaotic witch was on the verge of her comeuppance.
"No, my vengeance can't be satisfied. And you aren't deserving of a quick death. May you suffer slowly for the years of torment you've brought on us," Tempus Pluto coldly stated, lowering her usually calm tone. She then used her temporal magic to slowly dissolve Sailor Charon's body, starting with her left arm, which brought out a horrific look on Charon's bloodied face.
"NO, PLEASE, PLUTO! DON'T DO THIS!" Charon screamed with terror. Despite her horrific reactions, she didn't shed any tears.
Every hero expressed no remorse for Sailor Charon, who had her right arm dissolved. Then, her legs were erased from existence. Sailor Charon's tortuous screams filled everyone's ears, including Tempus Pluto. Every part of her body was erased into particles bit by bit. Throughout this torturous execution, Charon failed to resist struggling. It finally came down to her horrific screams being silenced. Unable to hear her screams, they saw the lasting image of Sailor Charon's mouth agape with no sounds coming out.
Tempus Pluto stood watching with no remorse and didn't utter a single word. Once Sailor Charon's head was dissolved, the last parts left were her eyes and mouth, which broke apart into particles.
At last, Sailor Charon's presence was utterly erased from existence.
(End theme)
With everyone still silent, Tempus Pluto dropped to her knees and sobbed. However, she didn't sob over ending Charon's existence but over her greatest pain and weight being permanently removed. The final piece of her past that haunted her was gone forever.
The Sailor & Kuiper Guardians approached Tempus Pluto. Volodramon and Chibi Moon both embraced Pluto, who sobbed on their shoulders. They both hugged Pluto, giving her a chance to cry and accept a future without Charon to torment her.
With the Paradius duo permanently removed, the Sailor Wars ended and peace returned to Japan. Then, using her Cosmos Crystal, Sailor Cosmos repaired the collateral damage brought by the Sailor Wars and revived all casualties of the war, except for Cain, whose wish was honored by Sailor Cosmos. The Cosmos Crystal's light also dissolved the dark crystals that covered the city. After being revived, Sailor Arctic Sedna was met with the warm embrace of Glacialis Sedna, Perseus, and Prince Sedna.
When Ancientmon reconvened with the Digiteams, the ancient being was also joined by Shakamon. The deities recalled Valdurmon, Mitamamon, and Rasielmon. As a result of this, Nadeshiko and Hitsuki had to relinquish their D-3s to say goodbye to Mitamamon and Valdurmon. Likewise, Meiko tearfully said goodbye to Rasielmon. After thanking the Digiteams for helping to stop the Paradius duo, Ancientmon, Shakamon, Mitamamon, Valdurmon, and Rasielmon returned to the realm beyond the Digital World.
Although his sacrifice was treated with respect, most of the heroes couldn't bring themselves to forgive Cain and give him a pass for initiating the Defiant War. However, they've also accepted Cain was an unfortunate chess piece in Paradius' grand scheme.
When Grace awoke, she last remembered falling to her death. As she searched for Cain, she saw Trask, who had told her what happened.
"He died to save us all? My god… he really.." Grace was taken aback by her foster father's last selfless action.
"He gave us and the heroes that hope we needed," Trask added as he helped Grace up. "With Cain gone, he left with no successor since he and Mei never conceived a child."
"That's not true. I'm his adopted daughter and he told me should anything happen to him, I'd inherit his will… and yeah, that also means his company," Grace recalled. "So, that means…"
"You're my new boss?"
"Starting tomorrow, we're dismantling CainCorp's war machines projects and shifting to technology that'll better humanity," Grace suggested as her first course of action as the new head of CainCorp. "Maybe that isn't what Cain wanted but I think he'd respect my decisions if he were here."
"As you wish, Ms. CainCorp CEO."
"I also want this day commemorated in honor of our heroes. Oh, and don't call me that yet, Trask. I need time to process all of this, especially my coming back to life somehow and now Cain's passing. As of now, and until I'm ready, CainCorp will be without a CEO until further notice. Unless you want to run things until I'm ready, Trask?"
Shaking his head, Trask shook his head. "I'll be linked to helping build the SOUJA that destroyed the city. That'd make me an accomplice, so count me out."
"Just great," Grace sighed. "What else have you left me with, Cain?"
(Cue Ivan Torrent - "1984")
As the crowds arrived, they amassed in unison and cheered for the heroes. With this day commemorated for them, a new era had been established: one where hope prevailed over despair and fate. It was the day that light overcame the darkness. It was the day the heroes regained humanity's faith.
Amid the cheering crowds, Sailor Pluto walked away and found an isolated spot. As he undid his Volodramon form, Lupe saw Pluto kneeling against a tree with a hand over her belly. Lupe approached Pluto and folded his arms around her belly while leaning his face on her left shoulder.
"Have we decided on a name, Pluto?"
"Not yet but we'll know months away from now."
With their eyes locked toward each other, Pluto and Lupe embraced and kissed under the tree.
Shortly after the Sailor War ended and the Paradius duo were defeated, the world faced a side effect due to Charon and Millenniummon's erratic powers that affected the laws of nature. Speaking on behalf of Sailor Cosmos, Sailor Moon informed everyone that to restore the planet's original settings, Earth will undergo a worldwide freeze and the world along with its population will undergo a deep sleep. They would be encased in stasis crystals while sleeping in suspended animation for a single millennium. The name of this thousand-year sleep was named the Millennia Somnus. The celestial event begins at noon when the entire earth turns dark and clear crystals begin spontaneously forming.
The masses, including the heroes, decided to spend their last moments and celebrations through Christmas and New Year of what could've been the start of the 2020s. Now, the grander celebrations will be to awaken in a new millennium instead of a new decade.
Local Hot Springs/Roppongi (六本木)/Minato, Tokyo (港区, 東京)/December 23, 2019 (JST)
(Cue HuniePop OST # 16 - Hot Springs)
With their biggest day ahead of them and set to get engaged, Wallace, Nadeshiko, and Hitsuki decided to celebrate with a relaxing evening at a fancy spa. Sitting together fully naked, they shared a moment in a hot spring. They showed off their wedding rings and smiled together.
"Are you ready for the big evening tomorrow, ladies? We only have so little time with the Millennia Somnus ahead of us," Wallace asked as he kissed them.
"Yes, we are, Wallace!" Hitsuki gleefully replied.
"How can we not be excited? Wait until you see us in our wedding dresses," Nadeshiko said, sitting on Wallace's lap as she leaned over for a kiss. At the same time, Hitsuki poked her head in and also leaned for a kiss.
"Whoa, one at a time, you two!" Wallace chuckled as Hitsuki and Nadeshiko briefly competed for a kiss with their beloved. He managed to get them under control. "Ok, let's try this again." Nodding, Nadeshiko and Hitsuki slowly leaned in for a kiss. As their lips met Wallace's mouth, they sloppily engaged in a three-way kiss. They didn't just lip lock but their tongues met and licked the sides of their mouths. They even thrust their tongues inside their mouths.
"Mmm, had enough yet?" Wallace asked before Hitsuki and Nadeshiko engaged him in another three-way kiss. As Wallace sank into the hot spring, Hitsuki and Nadeshiko licked his tongue as well as theirs. Eventually, the three lovers performed a threesome, which was concealed behind a veil of the spa's hot spring mist.
The young women giggled together while giving Wallace and each other an erotic experience they'll never forget.

Hilton Tokyo Bay/1-8 Maihama, Urayasu, Chiba/December 24, 2019/7:30 PM (JST)
(Cue Ivan Torrent - The Axis of Love)
One night after their erotic pleasure, Wallace, Nadeshiko, and Hitsuki's wedding took place inside a ballroom in the Hilton Tokyo Bay hotel, which is close to Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea.
Wallace, Nadeshiko, and Hitsuki stood together in front of an altar with their friends, families, and a massive gathering of heroes as their audience. It was not only a celebration of the polygamous couple but a celebration of their victory over the Paradius duo.
The invitees to the wedding consisted of the entire Digiteam, consisting of the Digidestined (Taichi & Agumon, Yamato & Gabumon, Sora & Piyomon, Koshiro & Tentomon, Mimi & Palmon, Jo & Gomamon, Takeru & Patamon, Hikari & Tailmon, Daisuke & V-mon, Ken & Wormmon, Miyako & Hawkmon, and Iori & Armadimon), the Tamers (Takato & Guilmon, Ruki & Renamon, Jianliang & Terriermon, Juri & Bastemon, Hirokazu & Guardromon, Kenta & MarinAngemon, and Shaochung & Lopmon), the Legendary Warriors (Takuya, Izumi, Kouji, Junpei, Tomoki, Kōichi), DATS (Masaru & Agumon, Touma & Gaomon, Yoshino & Lalamon, and Ikuto & Falcomon), Kotori & Betamon, Himura & BlackGabumon, Ryō & Cyberdramon, Alice & Dobermon, Meiko, Hypnos, Ai & Makoto & Impmon, Culumon, Kai, Minami, and Adora & Vorvomon.
Among the other invitees seen in the audience: the Sailor Guardians (Usagi, Rei, Minako, Setsuna, Ami, Makoto, Haruka, Michiru, Hotaru, Mamoru, Luna & Artemis, Lupe, and Setsuna's unborn child still inside her womb), the future Sailor Guardians and their allies (Chibiusa, Raizen Jr., Athena, CereCere, PallaPalla, VesVes, JunJun, Diana, Koori, Amaya, Umi, Ai, Ryuuhi, and Daiki), the Kuiper Belt Guardians (Karin, Tyra, Christina, Helena, Taylor, Jami, Dimitri, and Kensuke), the Sailor Starlights (Seiya, Taiki, and Yaten), Phobos & Deimos, the Spirit Detectives (Yusuke, Hiei, Kurama, Kuwabara, Yui, and Aoshi), Keiko, Yukina, Shizuru, Botan, Koenma, Ayame, Jorge, Pu, Dorothel (who is seated next to Ryō & Alice), Judai & his Duel Academia friends (Asuka, Manjoume, Sho, Fubuki, Sara, Rei, Tyranno, Momoe, Junko, and Edo), the original Duelist generation (Yugi, Seto, Jounochi, Anzu, Honda, Mai, Ryuji, Miho, Vivian, Shizuka, Ryōta, Mokuba, and Rebecca), the Signers (Yusei, Jack, Aki, Crow, Rua, and Ruka), Lyn, Helio & Kisara, Sam & Max, Pegasus, the Vampire Duel Monsters (Bram, Adam, Demona, Rachel, Sebastian, and Walter), the Dragonmaids (Parla, Chame, Nursery, Laudry, Tillroo, and Housekee), the Time Thieves (Redoer, Winder, and Perpetua), Amazoness Princess, Ōkami & Suzuno, the Valkyrie Quintet (Brunhilde, Sigrun, Skogul, Gondul, and Mist) & their lovers (David, Alec, Sudsakorn, and Taiyō), Philippe, Saya, Sasha, Larry, Marty, Andrea, Dirk, Ronx, and Lien.
"Do you Wallace take Nadeshiko and Hitsuki as your lawfully wedded wives?" A priest queried the young man, who meticulously eyed his two beautiful lovers garbed in gorgeous white silk wedding dresses as their veils still covered their faces.
"I do," Wallace answered without hesitation.
"And do you Nadeshiko and Hitsuki take Wallace to be your lawfully wedded husband? Will you three cherish each other through sickness and in health?"
"We do," Nadeshiko and Hitsuki replied earnestly.
"Then, with the power invested in me, I pronounce you three husband and wives."
With that, as his newly wedded wives undid their veils, they initiated a three-way kiss in front of the guests. Cheers from the invitees followed through.
Terriermon and Lopmon passed each other some tissues.
"I promised not to cry at their wedding," Terriermon teared up.
"But, here we are sobbing like little babies," Lopmon said, blowing his nose into a tissue.
Jianliang's Terriermon and Shaochung's Lopmon interjected as they put their paws out.
"You got any more tissues, buds?" Jianliang's Terriermon asked, which they gladly passed over to him and Shaochung's Lopmon.
(End theme)
After their wedding kiss, Wallace, Nadeshiko, and Hitsuki were approached by Taichi and Meiko.
"Hey, congratulations, you three. I hope that honeymoon is every bit as romantic as that kiss," Taichi remarked.
"Heheh, it sure will be. Thanks for all of you coming to our wedding," Wallace replied.
"Congratulations you two," Meiko said, bowing to Nadeshiko and Hitsuki.
"Thanks," Nadeshiko and Hitsuki responded.
"So, when are you and Meiko going to tie the knot?" Wallace asked Taichi, who modestly chuckled.
"Weddings aren't cheap. Meiko and I know that first hand, right, Meiko?"
Meiko nodded. "It was hard getting everything right but it all paid off. It was a wedding day I'll never forget."
"And you were absolutely gorgeous in your gown, Meiko. Right now, I'm focusing more on my career ahead of me," Taichi stated while kissing Meiko's hand.
"Are you still going to push forth equal human and Digimon rights? And try to become a diplomat, Taichi?"
The Bearer of Courage nodded firmly. "You know it, Wallace. I'm not giving up on that dream."
"We wish you luck and we're behind you all the way."
As Taichi and Wallace shook hands, the former nodded. "Thanks, Wallace."
For the duration of the wedding, the invitees, especially the couples, got on the dance floor and spent the rest of the night celebrating. With the holiday spirit in full effect, Christmas music played through the speakers and a giant white Christmas lit up.
(Cue Two Steps From Hell - Blanket of Snow (Amaria))
The Sailor Guardians, the Spirit Detectives, and their lovers went on the dance floor. Usagi & Mamoru, Yusuke & Keiko, Ami & Jianliang, Makoto & Junpei, Haruka & Michiru, Kuwabara & Yukina, Karin & Dimitri, Kensuke & Christina, Taylor & Larry, Tyra & Helena, and Jami & Kenta danced together.
"Isn't this just pretty with the Christmas lights and the tree, Mamo?" Usagi asked her lover.
"It is. So, how are you feeling about us becoming queen and king of Crystal Tokyo?"
"Honestly? I'm nervous, but after defeating Paradius and seeing Chibiusa again, I feel better. I think I'm ready to assume my place as Neo-Queen Serenity," Usagi smiled modestly as she reflected to the moment when she and Neo-Queen Serenity met face to face in the future. "And I remember meeting the queen, I reminded myself that's going to be me."
Mamoru nodded. "I had those same thoughts whenever I think about the king."
"Oh, Mamo, that day is finally coming for us," Usagi said as she lovingly embraced Mamoru.
"I hope our wedding is near Christmas," Makoto remarked while dancing with Junpei, who nodded in agreement.
"The Christmas scenery is beautiful here," Ami surveyed the holiday-themed wedding decorum.
"I don't argue there, Ami," Jianliang concurred with his girlfriend.
Haruka held Michiru's hand during their dance exchange and added. "We don't need a mistletoe to express our love, don't we?"
Michiru chortled. "Mistletoe? Hah, such child's play."
Tyra and Helena watched and commented on Haruka & Michiru dancing together.
"Damn, Haruka is so cool," Tyra remarked.
"And Michiru is so beautiful and exudes elegance. I'll never be like her," Helena added.
"Don't compare yourselves to those two. Just be yourselves," Karin interjected while dancing with Dimitri.
Nodding, Tyra smirked. "You're damn right. I'm my own woman."
Helena replied with renewed confidence. "Yes! Michiru may be beautiful, but I'm every bit as pretty in my own way."
"I'd say you're damn exotic, Hel," Tyra said, whispering into Helena's ear, causing her to blush and quickly turn around to kiss Tyra.
"Hey, Jami, I'm glad things are working out between us," Kenta said as they danced together.
"Me, too, Kenta. So, are you nervous?" Jami queried.
"About Crystal Tokyo? Kinda. I don't even know what to expect."
Taylor overheard Jami and Kenta's conversation and added. "Don't worry, Kenta. Larry felt the same way and I told him that everything is going to be ok."
"Right, Let's just enjoy these last days together until then!" Christina chimed in.
"That's the spirit, Christina," Kensuke added.
"We're all going to wake up and find ourselves in Crystal Tokyo. That's something to look forward to," Dimitri said.
"Except me. I'll be gone and be back in the future with Chibiusa's gang when that happens," Future Athena replied.
"Yeah, but we won't forget you, especially when I give birth to you, honey," Karin reassured her future daughter.
Future Athena replied with a smile. "You're right. I do wish I could see me being born."
"Hey, love. If you don't feel like dancing, we don't have to," Lupe said to Setsuna, who nodded.
"No, I'll be ok. If there's anyone I want to spend time with, it's you," Setsuna genuinely responded as she and Lupe got up and danced.
"Minako, shall we?" Kurama offered a hand to her.
"Hell yeah, let's go!" Minako said, taking Kurama's hand as they entered the dance floor.
"Go, mom and dad!" Ai cheered Minako and Kurama.
"Hey, why don't you two dance?" Koori asked Rei and Hiei.
"C'mon, let's not be left out of tonight's fun," Rei said as she and Hiei headed to the dance floor. "Now, remember how I taught…"
"I know," Hiei added as he and Rei started dancing.
"Hey, you want to dance, RJ?" Chibiusa asked him as they saw Usagi & Mamoru and Yusuke & Keiko dancing side by side.
"Why not?" RJ smiled, taking Chibiusa's hand.
"Yes, bingo! Dance until you drop, kiddos!" Botan cheered RJ and Chibiusa.
"Hey, Botan, who's your date? Don't tell me it's Jorge," Yusuke teased her.
Keiko lightly slapped Yusuke's head. "Hey, be nice!"
"Ugh, no he's not! For your information…!" Botan growled.
Koenma chuckled. "I mean, I can't be your dance partner because I have Ayame with me."
Ayame bowed. "I'm so sorry, Botan."
Jorge apologetically bowed to Botan. "You don't need to trouble yourself, Botan. I'm not a very good dancer."
Botan dismissively nodded. "Nevermind. I'm going to get something to drink."
The Valkyries and their lovers, the Starlights and the Time Thieves also joined in the post-wedding dance. Seated together at a reserved table, Seto, Lyn, Kisara, Helio, and Mokuba watched Max and Sam with their girlfriends.
"To think, my brothers' girlfriends are Rei's crows," Lyn remarked.
"Well, they used to be crows, right?" Mokuba wondered.
"I think they can change between forms. Anyway, I'm just making an observation. I'm happy for my bros," Lyn said, watching Sam & Phobos and Max & Deimos dancing.
"I have no right to judge After all, people say I have a dragon fetish and who am I to say they're not wrong?" Seto astutely said. As he said this, Lyn and Mokuba gawked with widened eyes and mouths.
"Holy shit, so you admit it!" Tyra overheard as she got right in Seto's face and smugly grinned.
Lyn quickly tried to hold back her friend. "Tyra, please…!"
Seto smirked coolly. "Like I said, who am I to say anyone's wrong?"
Tyra blinked. "Well, hey, nothing wrong with that, dude. We all have our kinks and besides Lyn was Kisara's reincarnation and you named y'alls daughter after her." She smiled at Lyn and winked. "Right?"
Lyn nodded. "Yeah, you got it."
"We have one interesting family, don't we, big bro?" Mokuba chuckled.
"We're better than we were when it was just the two of us," Seto said, his usual frigid glare melted and softened with a smile when looking at his kids Helios and Kisara.
Meanwhile, Marty, Andrea, Dirk, and Adora conversed at a table about their future roles in Crystal Tokyo.
"Wait, you're saying Grace wants us working with her?" Andre asked Marty.
"She'll need all the help to rebuild CainCorp's image. She's looking to scrap Cain's military complex and focus more on scientific research to help battle diseases and repair our ecosystems," Marty delved into some of Grace's proposed plans.
"Ah, she's turning her company green. Interesting," Dirk noted. "What do you think, Adora?" He asked while holding Adora's hand.
"It's a massive change, but I wish her luck," Adora replied. "As for me, I'm interested in joining DATS."
"DATS? Why them?" Marty queried.
Peering over her shoulder, Adora keenly eyed Kotori, Himura, and their Digimon in the distance. "Because, it looks like two friends of mine will be joining them, too."
Offering a hand to Ruki, Takato took her to the dance floor. As they danced, he became mesmerized by her deep blue evening dress and her hair done in a curled style.
"Hey, Ruki, did I tell you…"
"That I look pretty? Yeah, you told me that already."
"Oh, I did, didn't I?"
Ruki slightly rolled her eyes to the side and slipped a small smirk. "Yeah, you did, dork. And thanks, I picked this dress."
"Your mom didn't pick it?"
"Weddings are supposed to be formal, and it's not too bad wearing a dress every once in a while."
"I love the dress, Ruki!" Juri complimented her friend's evening dress as she danced with Kōichi.
"You all look splendid tonight," Kōichi complimented Juri's friends.
"So, where's Renamon?" Takato asked Ruki.
"Do you need to ask?" Ruki responded. As the couple pivoted from the dance floor, they saw Renamon seated next to Kai. Guilmon, Terriermon, Bastemon, MarinAngemon, Impmon, and Lopmon are also seen at a separate table next to them
"Wow, they're really committed," Takato muttered with astonishment.
"That's their business. Just as long as Kai treats her well," Ruki said.
"Speaking of couples," Takato said, noting Ryō seated with Alice and Dorothel. "Wallace, Hitsuki, and Nadeshiko aren't the only three-partnered couple."
"That would be a polygamous couple," Jianliang corrected his friend as he and Ami danced alongside Takato and Ruki.
"Or, that works, too."
"Yeah, and we should let these three be," Ruki suggested. "I had my issues with Ryō in the past but he's happy and I don't want to ruin that for him. Besides, I have you now, Takato." She said, pulling Takato forward as she kissed his lips under a mistletoe. In response, Takato was taken aback until he calmed down and returned the favor by kissing her.
Upon seeing his Tamer kissing Ruki, Guilmon smiled. "Takato's happy and I will be, too. I wonder if you and Ruki will get married one day."
"Hehe, who knows? It might just come true, Guilmon," Kotori chimed in as she, Betamon, Himura, and BlackGabumon approached the Tamers' table. "In any case, Ruki's a feistier girl than me but I see her mellowing out."
"Yeah, she's more mellow than she used to be," Himura pointed out.
"True that. Hey, are you going to eat that?" Terriermon asked Himura, who was holding a plate of chocolate cake, which he handed off to Terriermon, who fought with Impmon over it.
"Gimmie that!" Impmon yelled as he and Terriermon wrestled over the cake until MarinAngemon swallowed it in one gulp.
"NOOO!" Terriermon and Impmon dramatically screamed.
"My word, not even a crumb left!" Guardromon yelled.
"Man, what a slob," Betamon remarked.
"Hey, Takato! How's it hanging over there!" Judai called over to the Tamer. He, Yusei, Aki, Asuka, Sho, Manjoume, Tyranno, Junko, and Momoe approached the Tamers as they conversed. "You and Ruki have been rocking the dance floor!"
"Heh, thanks. It's nothing but just us dancing," Takato modestly replied.
"But, you're dancing with Ruki at a wedding celebration near Christmas time. How often can you say you've done that?"
"That's true, Judai. So, are you here to dance with the rest of us?" Takato queried.
"Asuka and I are gonna hang back, but I know Sho and Tyranno here are gonna dance with Momoe and Junko," Judai answered with a smile.
"You two have fun," Asuka said as Sho & Momoe and Tyranno & Junko occupied the dance area. "Why don't we talk about Christmas plans?"
"Well, we aren't going to be here for long," Yusei said. "We plan to leave with Chibiusa's group on New Years' morning before the Millennia Somnus happens."
"We want to be here for at least Christmas and New Year's Eve," Aki said.
"Oh, do you guys need any drinks?" Takato offered Ruki and the Duelists.
Ruki nodded. "Yeah, I could use a break from dancing. Hey, Takato, let's get something to drink." With that, Takato and Ruki left with Judai, Asuka, Yusei, and Aki to get drinks.
When the two Tamers and the Duelists collected their drinks, Yugi and Anzu beckoned them over to chat at a table. They then conversed about Christmas plans and the upcoming Duel Monster-related events, including tournaments.
"I forgot Duel Monster tournaments were coming up," Takato recalled.
"Though that Millennia Somnus event is happening. It looks like we're going to be waiting a long time for any tournaments," Yugi said.
"I'm not sure how I feel about being asleep for a thousand years," Anzu sighed at the thought of being frozen for a single millennium.
"It doesn't sound fun, but maybe it'll go by faster than we think it'll be," Asuka tried being optimistic about the situation.
"Yeah, and then us competing in the next tournament will be worth it!" Judai added, looking on the bright side as well.
"I'm curious how different the future will be when we awaken," Takato said.
"It shouldn't be any different, but who knows," Ruki said.
"I heard when she awakens, Neo-Queen Serenity Serenity will usher in Crystal Tokyo. So, we might see some drastic changes to the planet," Taichi interjected into their conversation. "So, while the world will change, we won't see any changes. During our long millennium sleep, we won't age."
So, the more things change, the more they stay the same? I can live with that," Takato vibed with the idea.
"Thankfully our Digimon will be given a place in the Digital to sleep so when they wake up, they'll find us," Ruki said. "Still, while I know I won't be awake to see Rena, I'm going to miss her by my side."
"I'm sure it'll be all worth it when we reunite with our Digimon," Taichi said. "Agumon said he's looking forward to the future."
"So, are we, Taichi! The future is gonna be something else!" Masaru said with enthusiasm. "Agumon and I are gonna be begging to move around after a long sleep."
"Remind me when this Millennia Somnus is supposed to start?" Judai queried.
"On New Year's Day. It'll be sometime after the year 3000 when we'll wake up," Taichi said.
"That's crazy to think about but all the more exciting," Takato said.
"There'll be a place for Digimon in Crystal Tokyo," Usagi said, overhearing their conservation.
"There's no way we'd leave out our Digimon friends," Mamoru added.
"We wish you luck on your diplomatic career, Taichi," Setsuna said.
"And don't worry about your Digimon, Chosen. Ancientmon and I will ensure your Digimon are safe in stasis during the Millennia Somnus," Lupe reassured the Digidestined, the Tamers, and the other Digiteam members.
"But, in the meantime before then, let's enjoy these few days. It's the Christmas season after all!" Usagi shouted as everyone stood around the big Christmas tree.
As the final minute of Eve passed, the clock struck midnight. Christmas Day had arrived and the heroes sang. Friends and couples danced together. With a few days left ahead of them, they enjoyed the last days of the world they'd left behind as the Millennia Somnus would come and the world would freeze over. Sharing these memories, the heroes would never forget the last days of peace before the global freeze.
With every couple spending their last days together unconditionally, they made sure every lasting moment counted. Even the couples, such as Usagi & Mamoru & Setsuna and Lupe, recognized they'd be waiting for nearly a millennium for their children to be born.
Shinjuku, Tokyo/December 25, 2019/6:30 PM (JST)
After an eventful wedding and celebration over Paradius, the heroes amassed and stood facing a giant Christmas tree lit with bright multi-colored lights that shone its radiance through the scenic evening. This would be their final Christmas before the Millennia Somnus and the coming of the 30th Century.
The heroes made the most of Christmas night establishing memories. Guaranteed they'd have a place in Crystal Tokyo, the Digiteams, the Duelists, the Spirit Detectives, and other allies anticipated a new era in their lives.
"Merry Christmas to us all," Judai, Takato, Usagi, Yusuke, Masaru, and Taichi said in unison.
"And to all a goodnight!" Their friends merrily chanted in unison.
Tokyo Tower/Azabu-Jūban, Minato (麻布十番, 港区)/December 31, 2019/11:59 PM (JST)
(Cue Tycho - Cascade)
The final minute of the 2010 decade ended with the stroke of midnight.
It was officially the beginning of the 2020s and the coming of the Millennia Somnus.
January 1, 2020/9:45 AM (JST)
The heroes and the masses wished a happy new year. They also bid farewell to an old world and prepared for the forthcoming new world awaiting them.
Once morning arrived, a Digital World portal opened and Ancientmon summoned the Digimon to enter their stasis while the Digital Realms underwent a sleep period. After many heartfelt goodbyes, the Digiteams watched their Digimon enter the portal with the promise they'll awaken when the Millennia Somnus ends.
On that same morning, the Sailor & the Kuiper Belt Guardians, the Spirit Detectives, the Tamers, Judai & his friends, Yugi & the other Domino City Duelists, and the Legendary Warriors bid farewell to Chibiusa, the future Sailor Guardians, the Signers, and future Athena.
"Goodbye, everyone. I hope I'm born nice and healthy," Chibiusa said as she hugged Usagi and Mamoru. As Diana bid farewell to Luna and Artemis, the kitten hopped into Chibiusa's backpack and waved to her tearful parents.
Hotaru ran over to Chibiusa and hugged her closest friend. "Have a safe trip, Chibiusa. Say hi to everyone back in the future."
"I will. Don't worry. This won't be a final goodbye. You'll see me again in your future now."
Hearing this, Hotaru teared up and nodded. "Yes, you're right." She and Chibiusa then did a pinky swear that she'll be born exactly on June 30th in the 30th century.
After Hotaru pulled away, Setsuna stepped in and embraced Chibiusa next. "You've grown so much. I'm proud of you."
"You helped me in my growth into becoming who I am now. I'll never forget our friendship, Sets."
"Sets?"
"I can't keep calling you Puu forever," Chibiusa added with a smirk. "I'm a growing girl now."
"Yes, good point."
"Make sure you and Lupe's baby is born on time."
"Me, too. Thank you, Chibiusa," Setsuna said with genuine tears.
"So, are you going to be staying in Chibiusa and the Signers' time, Athena?" Karin asked her.
"For the time being. My far future was destroyed beyond repair when Paradius attacked it. I'm glad I was instrumental in their downfall. Though, I can't take the credit entirely. There's all of you and of course Cain," the far future Athena answered.
"That would mean you'd see an infant erosion of you being born if you go into Chibiusa's time," Dimitri said.
"Yeah, most likely, but I'm going to be mostly laying low and figuring out my own path. For all accounts, I should be dead, but Sailor Moon gave me another chance to live."
Kensuke smiled and patted Athena's shoulder. "Give yourself plenty of time to rest. You've earned it."
"Thanks, uncle Ken. Thank you, too, mom, dad, and Kuipers," Athena cried as she hugged Karin, Dimitri, and Kensuke.
"Stay safe in the future, sweetie," Christina nodded.
"And if you run into our future selves, don't be a stranger and meet with them," Tyra suggested.
"Yeah, you can tell them what you did here," Taylor said.
"You take kiddos," Minako waved to the other future Sailor Guardians. Then, she and Kurama hugged Ai together. "And you take care, little love!"
"Take this as a parting gift to remember me and your mother, Ai," Kurama said, handing a beautiful red rose to Ai, who sniffed it while her fox ears turned.
"I love you both," Ai said.
"You two be on your best behavior on the way back," Ami said, kissing Amaya and Daiki's foreheads.
"We love you, mom and dad!" Amaya and Daiki affectionately replied.
"Give that Hermes suit a nice upgrade in the future," Jianliang said.
"Of course! This SOUJA tech will come in handy," Daiki replied, pointing to a compartment case holding the modified battle armor.
"Goodbye, you two. I guess the next time I'll see you two, I'll be giving birth to you," Rei said, holding them in a loving mother's embrace.
"It was so good to see you and dad in this time," Koori said.
"Hell yeah! We even fought together against the bad guys!" Ryuuhi added enthusiastically. When he and Koori turned over to Hiei, the demon swordsman hugged them. "Dad."
Koori blushed and smiled. "Thanks, dad."
"Keep up your training, you two," Hiei nodded and smiled at his twins.
Upon seeing her partner and future husband smile, Rei smirked. "You should smile more."
Hiei scoffed. "Not really."
"And bye, Hōō!" Koori and Ryuuhi called out to the cosmic bird entity, whose presence they vibed with. They saw the Hōō's presence radiating over Rei, acknowledging them with a nod.
"Farewell, young Koori and Ryuuhi," the cosmic entity acknowledged the twins, who finished bidding farewell to their uncle Kuwabara and aunt Yukina.
"Be safe on your journey home, Umi," Makoto said as she hugged her daughter.
"I will. Thanks for making cookies for me and my friends!" Umi replied. "And dad." Junpei approached and embraced Umi while crying like the doting father he is.
"Daddy's gonna miss you, Umi sweetie!" Junpei bawled loudly.
"Oh, dad! You and mom are going to like the future!" Umi hugged Junpei and waved goodbye to her parents.
"Have a safe trip back to the future, sweetie," Keiko said, hugging RJ, who scoffed but accepted his mother's loving embrace.
"Oh, mom. I love you," RJ said. He saw Yusuke standing beside him waiting to give him a fist bump. As father and son fist-bumped, the latter grinned. "Go and become king of the demons, dad!"
"You know it! But right after a thousand-year sleep!" Yusuke replied. "Take care of Chibiusa!"
As RJ turned, he saw Chibiusa reach out and hold his hand.
"Ready, RJ?"
"Yeah."
"We're all ready and accounted for," CereCere announced.
Finally, Yusei firmly shook Yugi and Judai's hands as the future Duelist convened with the Signers.
"It was an honor to fight alongside you, Yusei," Yugi waved to the Signer leader.
"Same here! Have a safe trip back, man!" Judai called out to him.
"Goodbye, everyone!" Aki shouted.
"Thanks for the good times, especially to you and your family, Kaiba Seto," Jack acknowledged Seto, Lyn, Mokuba, Helio, and Kisara. "And you weren't half-bad, Manjoume."
"Heh, farewell," Manjoume responded.
"See ya!" Rua and Jack yelled out.
"Goodbye and well met," Ruka bowed as her Kuribon briefly appeared to wave to Yugi's Kuriboh and Judai's Winged Kuriboh.
With that, Chibiusa used her Time Key to open a time portal, which transported her, the future Sailor Guardians, the Sailor Quartet, future Athena, and the Signers back to their timeline.

At the stroke of noon in Japan, a temporal wave spread over the planet and initiated the first stage of the Millennia Somnus. When time stopped, temporal crystals spread all over the planet and encased every living person and thing in crystals, placing them in suspended animation. Finally, the world became frozen, resembling an ice planet. The heroes briefly saw their world in a different light until they, too, were encased in suspended animation.
The last ones to be encased in crystals were Usagi & the Sailor Guardians, Takato & the Tamers, Judai, Yusuke, Masaru, the Kuiper Belt Guardians, and Taichi. They wished for a good long sleep before they all became sealed in crystals and slept for nearly a millennium.
(Cue Utada Hikaru - Beautiful World)
Time had passed through nearly a millennium. The Millennia Somnus surprisingly came and went. After a millennium of no life activity on Earth, life started regaining its foothold on the planet. When she awoke, Usagi's Silver Crystal's glowed with radiance as the frozen wastelands melted away. The Silver Crystal also sent divine light that awoke humans and other living things from their slumber. The universe had been restored from the chaotic effects that the Paradius duo left.
After the heroes awakened, Sailor Moon helped usher in a new utopia in the 30th century. Upon taking the Crystal Tokyo throne, Sailor Moon became Neo-Queen Serenity and headed the utopia alongside King Endymion.
By June 30th, Neo-Princess Serenity gave birth to their daughter, Princess Serenity III, also known by her mother and friends as Chibiusa.
After her grandfather passed away shortly after the Millennia Somnus, Rei inherited his will and had Hikawa Shrine renovated to reflect the changing times. She and Hiei were also expecting their twins, Koori and Ryuuhi, soon.
Likewise, Ami, Minako, and Makoto were given the freedom to pursue their lives and careers while still donning their Sailor Guardian titles. Ami became a certified doctor with Jami as her nurse assistant. Makoto opened up a florist and pastry shop with Junpei. Minako pursued her idol singing career with Kurama's support. Later, Ami, Makoto, and Minako would end up delivering their kids into the world.
As for the Outers, when they're not on duty, Haruka and Michiru traveled the world and pursued the perfect romantic spots. Hotaru stayed in Crystal Tokyo to visit and babysit Chibiusa. Setsuna and Lupe finally got married.
As for the Kuipers, all of them got married. Karin and Dimitri worked together in archaeology. Christina also pursued a singing career with Kensuke supporting his wife. Taylor and Larry were not only married but the first of the Kuiper couple to have a child. Tyra and Helena accepted Mokuba's sperm donation to help them produce a potential daughter. Jami married Kenta and adopted a son.
At the same time, Yusuke returned to the Makai with Keiko. Upon returning to Raizen's realm, Yusuke was greeted by Raizen's friends and became the Makai king after winning the latest tournament. Under Yusuke's sovereign rule, the rules that Enki established stayed. Demons were allowed to come and go between worlds. Any demons that broke Yusuke's law in attempting to harm or rate humans were being apprehended and imprisoned under Makai jurisdiction.
Shortly after becoming Makai King, Yusuke and Keiko's son, Urameshi Raizen, Jr., was born.
As for Spirit World, King Koenma continued his reign unopposed. Botan and Jorge also continued business as usual under Koenma. The spirits of souls such as Genkai, Toguro, Sensui, and Raizen continued their time in peace. In the Meikai, Yasha continued her reign as queen of Avīci.
After settling into the new period, the heroes lived in peace alongside the citizens. Having fought alongside Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians, the heroes were granted free access to Crystal Tokyo. Among them were Yagami Taichi and the Digidestined.
Continuing his work as the Digital World's diplomat, Taichi had successfully managed to form a peace pact between Earth and the Digital World. Digimon was now allowed to roam freely on Earth. Additionally, as promised by the Digital World God, Ancientmon, the Digiteams were also reunited with their Digimon partners.
Following Earth's restoration from the Millennia Somnus, the Duelists chose to either settle down, but others with unyielding dueling spirits such as Judai immediately went out and competed in Duel Monster tournaments.

Crystal Tokyo/Azabu-Jūban Second General Hospital/Azabu-Jūban, Minato (麻布十番, 港区)/August 1, 3019/8:35 AM (JST)
Chibiusa and RJ weren't the only ones to be conceived in the Crystal Tokyo era.
In Setsuna and Lupe's situation, it had been long and restful millennia of sleep that gave them time to reflect on their lives before the birth of their child. They also had nearly 1,000 years to decide on a name. They decided on both a boy's name and a girl's name. Before the official birth date, Ami's mother, Dr. Mizuno Saeko, determined the child would be a girl.
Then, on one fateful morning, Setsuna was rushed after a bout of intense labor. For the Time Guardian, it was the worst imaginable pain she's ever endured, even worse than when Sailor Charon's scathing words mentally wounded her.
And she let her pain be known to the entire hospital with her most beautiful voice.
"AHHHHHH! LUPE, YOU SON OF A BITCH! THIS IS YOUR FUCKING FAULT!"
"MY HAND! YOU'RE BREAKING MY HAND!"
"GOOD! YOU DESERVE IT FOR MAKING ME ENDURE THIS PAIN! AHHHHH! I CAN FEEL THE LEGS KICKING OUT OF ME!"
"SHE'S KICKING GOOD AND HARD, HONEY!"
"GET HER OUT! GET HER OUT OF ME NOW THIS FUCKING INSTANT!"
As Lupe panicked and was unsure how to handle a human giving live birth, Dr. Mizuno and her staff rushed to give Setsuna towels to clean her sweaty face. Feeling the child's legs sticking out, Setsuna pushed with every ounce of her lower body's strength. She screamed so much that her face turned bright red. She didn't just grab but crushed Lupe's hand so hard she crushed a few of his fingers. Clenching his teeth hard, Lupe tried not to scream in anguish.
Mizuno Ami and Waziri Jami were also in the room to help encourage Setsuna.
"Please, keep pushing! I can see her legs, Setsuna! You can do it!" Ami encouraged the woman on.
Jami nodded. "Breath and push!"
Nodding, Setsuna clenched her teeth and pushed again. Not only did the legs start coming out, but the whole baby also came out as she let out her first wails outside her mother's womb.
The resounding cries from Setsuna's labor echoed from across the hall as patients and guests heard Setsuna's fiery and passionate expletives. The Sailor Guardians & their significant others, the Kuiper Guardians, the Spirit Detectives, Inuki Ōkami & Suzuno, Skogul, Gondul, and Sudsakorn sat together with cringe-worthy expressions on their faces.
Neo-Queen Serenity, who had just given birth to Chibiusa, sat with the newly born princess in her lap and felt every pain and dread of the childbirth experience. "I feel you, Setsuna. It's the worst."
"And I still have the aches in my hand to prove it," King Endymion muttered, holding out his bandaged right hand.
"Your hand should've already healed a long time ago, my king," Artemis said.
"I just wear them to be reminded of the pain."
"Then, take them off," Luna suggested.
"He wears them because he doesn't want to forget that day," Neo-Queen Serenity smiled proudly as she set Chibiusa on her husband's lap.
"But, it was all worth it to see our daughter born. I hope all works out for Setsuna and Lupe," King Endymion smiled down at his daughter. Hotaru then approached Chibiusa and played with her.
"Being a parent is tough, man. Keiko and I are learning that first hand," Yusuke added, watching Keiko coddling a sleeping RJ.
"That's true but being a mom has been rewarding," Keiko replied.
"No arguments there. I can't wait to see Chibiusa and RJ getting to know each other," Neo-Queen Serenity stated.
"And with time, our kids will be born, too," Rei added as she glanced over and smiled at Hiei, who pivoted the other way.
"C'mon, you should be excited to see your kids being born, Hiei. Yukina's going to be thrilled to be an aunt! Right, Yukina?" As Kuwabara faced Hiei's sister, she genuinely smiled and nodded.
"Of course, I want to see my kids being born."
"You'll make a great dad, Hiei. After seeing the future Koori and Ryuuhi, they've turned out to be great kids," Yukina said.
"Though I'm not thrilled with childbirth, delivering Ai to the world will be exciting!" Minako merrily chimed in. "Isn't that right, Kurama, sweetie?"
The red-haired fox answered, setting down a book he was reading. "Yes, it will be quite a remarkable day for us."
"To think, it won't be much longer until we're all moms. It's scary but very exciting," Makoto said.
"Same here, Mako," Junpei concurred with his lover.
"And it'll be a while before Dimitri and I decide to bring Athena into the world," Karin said.
"We can give it time until we decide to become parents," Dimitri concurred.
"I hope she'll be as cool and badass as her far future self."
"Of course, she will! She has you as her parents!" Christina chimed in.
"Right. And I can't wait to be an uncle," Kensuke stated.
"What about you two?" Taylor asked Tyra and Helena.
"Well, we haven't decided on that. Maybe we can adopt a daughter?" Helena pitched the idea to Tyra.
"That's a good idea or maybe we can take a sperm donor," Tyra said.
"I hope Setsuna will be ok," Skogul said, thinking about her professor.
"She'll be just fine," Gondul reassured her Valkyrie lover.
"Hey, they're coming out!" Kuwabara announced.
Everyone in the waiting lounge turned and saw Dr. Mizuno walk forward with Lupe pushing Setsuna in a wheelchair. Now smiling her brightest, Setsuna held a white towel with a child bundled inside. Ami and Jami were also seen accompanying Dr. Mizuno, Setsuna, and Lupe.
"She's so beautiful and adorable!" Neo-Queen Serenity squealed with delight at Setsuna and Lupe's newborn.
"Oh my god! I need to hold her at least once before we're gone!" Minako cried as her eyes gleamed with joy.
"Easy, Minako," Kurama said.
"Seriously, to think the slayer of the Rajita Warlords can't even relax and keep her voice down inside a hospital," Haruka remarked.
"That's quite unladylike of you, Minako. Lead us by better example," Michiru sighed.
Minako stammered. "But… she's so… cute! How can I contain myself?"
"And she can't take all the credit for slaying those three monsters because the Hōō and I chipped in, too," Rei reminded Minako. "Right?" She winked at Minako, who smiled and nodded.
"In any case, have you decided on her name?" Hotaru asked Setsuna and Lupe.
"We did," Lupe replied.
"We've named her Meiō Hina."
"She's every bit as pretty as her mother. Hina is such a beautiful name," Suzuno remarked.
"And she'll no doubt become as indomitable and loving woman as her mother, too," Ōkami stated, giving his congratulations to his former past lover and Lupe.
"Thank you, Ōkami. She will have a better and brighter future than I ever could as a child," Setsuna said as Hotaru leaned over and shook Hina's tiny hand.
"Hey, wouldn't Hina be part-Digimon since Volodramon is her dad?" Yusuke asked the couple.
"Not really. When I made love with Setsuna, I was in my human form. She would inherit my powers and maybe some of my Volodramon nature but not my ability to evolve as a Digimon would. I surmise that Setsuna's genes are more dominant than mine since she'll be the next Sailor Pluto," Lupe explained. "Once Setsuna and I knew we'd become separable, I've chosen to live as a human. Ancientmon has honored my request to live and care for Setsuna and our child. I have no regrets."
"So, Volodramon is no more?" Makoto queried.
"Not precisely. Volodramon is merely now a battle mode I'll use if a conflict arises but I am semi-retired and choose to live as Lupe from now on."
"I wish I had a little sister like Hina," Aoshi remarked as Yui patted him.
"Maybe you can be like a big brother for Hina?" Yui suggested.
"I think Hina would like that very much," Lupe nodded. "What do you think, Setsuna?"
"I agree. You're more than welcome to come to see us and Hina whenever you like, Aoshi," Setsuna opened an invitation to the Lycan boy.
"And me as well," Hotaru said. "To think Chibiusa and Hina are a month apart from each other."
"June 30th and August 1st? Wow, who knew?" Neo-Queen Serenity realized. "Looks like we're the first to give life to the next generation of Sailor Guardians."
"Yes, and judging by Chibiusa's potential, our future will be in better hands than before," Setsuna nodded.
Eventually, when Hina grew older, she would inherit her mother's power and become Sailor Gao Pluto.
With a successful diplomatic career and helping make peace between two worlds, Taichi, his friends, and their Digiteam allies saw an age where humans and Digimon could co-exist. In what should be considered an unlikely occurrence after the anti-Digimon disputes in the 21st century, the dream became a reality in Crystal Tokyo.
Joined by his Digidestined friends, Taichi, his friends, and their children had a reunion within Crystal Tokyo. Not only did the original Digidestined come with their Digimon, but their children also showed up with their Digimon partners. Wallace and his two wives also showed up with their children.
Taichi and Meiko had a son, who ended up with a Koromon. This Koromon's Ultimate form is VictoryGreymon.
Yamato and Sora have a son and a daughter, who both were paired with a Tsunomon and a Pyocomon. The Tsunomon's Ultimate form is Z'dGarurumon and Pyocomon's Ultimate form is Hououmon X.
Mimi and Koushiro had a son and a daughter, who were both paired with a Tanemon and Mochimon. Tanemon's Ultimate form is Rosemon X and Mochimon's Ultimate form is HerakleKabuterimon X.
Jo had a son, who ended up with a Pukamon. Pukamon's Ultimate form is Plesiomon X.
Takeru and Hikari had two boys, who both ended up with a Tokomon and a Plotmon. Tokomon's Ultimate form is Holydramon X. Plotmon's Ultimate form is Ofanimon X.
Daisuke had a son, who ended up with a Chibimon. Chibimon's Ultimate form is Magnamon X.
Iori had a daughter, who ended up with a Upamon. Upamon's Ultimate form is Vikemon.
Ken and Miyako had three children: two daughters and a son. The eldest daughter ended up with a Poromon. The first son ended up with a Minomon. Poromon's Ultimate form is Valkyrimon. Minomon's Ultimate form is GrandisKuwagamon.
Wallace and his two wives had two daughters. Wallace and Nadeshiko's daughter inherited Wallace's Terriermon/Rapidmon X. Wallace and Hitsuki's daughter inherited Wallace's Lopmon/Cherubimon X.
Amid a peaceful reunion, their celebration swiftly ended when a pair of evil Digimon infiltrated and laid siege to Odaiba Park in hopes to draw out the Digidestined. Sent by an evil organization under the command of a digital tyrant, who has filled the void left by the Seven Great Demon Lords, the evil pair, NeoDevimon and LadyDevimon X challenged the Digidestined and their Digimon.
However, several of the Digidestined's children and their Digimon stepped up to accept NeoDevimon and LadyDevimon X's challenge. Taichi & Meiko's son's VictoryGreymon and Yamato & Sora's son's Z'dGarurumon quickly engaged NeoDevimon, who fought the two Ultimates to a standstill.
Meanwhile, Hikari & Takeru's son's Angewomon X engaged LadyDevimon X. In a shocking and humorous turn of events, Angewomon X and LadyDevimon X reignited their predecessors' rivalry and engaged in a catfight complete with hard slaps across their faces. Upon seeing this, the older Digidestined were reminded of Angewomon and LadyDevimon's fight. When LadyDevimon X evolved into Ofanimon Falldown Mode, Angewomon X evolved into Ofanimon X.
NeoDevimon and LadyDevimon X were shown to be stronger than their typical counterparts. Thanks to their evil master's power, they revealed that they've been enhanced compared to previous Devimon.
"Hahahah, is this the best you two got?!" NeoDevimon maniacally laughed while fighting off VictoryGreymon and Z'DGarurumon. "Take this!" He went for a finishing blow for VictoryGreymon, but Z'DGarurumon rushed in and headbutted NeoDevimon away.
"Thanks, Z'DGarurumon!" VictoryGreymon said.
"He's an unusually tough bastard!" Z'DGarurumon replied.
As VictoryGreymon and Z'DGarurmon backed NeoDevimon into a corner with a flurry of attacks, the former swung his sword, delivering a crushing blow with his Dramon Breaker that knocked NeoDevimon back. Then, Z'DGarurumon sprayed his Blowback Breath, causing NeoDevimon to withdraw into the air. Upon seeing their Digidestineds' Digivices glowing, VictoryGreymon and Z'DGarurumon fused into their Ultimate form, Omegamon Kai.
"I am neither VictoryGreymon nor Z'dGarurumon! I am the one who will destroy you!" Omegamon Kai declared as NeoDevimon ferociously attacked the unified entity With a single blow from Omegamon Kai's VictoryGreymon head, he crippled NeoDevimon.
Once Ofanimon X regained her momentum, she destroyed Ofanimon Falldown Mode. Having seen his partner killed, NeoDevimon was left at Omegamon Kai's mercy. As he charged up both his VictoryGreymon and Z'DGarurumon heads, Omegamon Kai obliterated NeoDevimon, who screamed out his dark lord's name before being vaporized completely.
"Avenge me, Lord B…!"
Omegamon Kai tried picking up NeoDevimon's dying words. "He and the other one serve some master of theirs? This isn't good. Whoever it is, we'll need to be ready."
With little information on this digital tyrant, the Digidestined and their children were left to defend Earth and Crystal Tokyo from these new digital invaders. Omegamon Kai and his partners also have two paired rivals with one pair of partners; both are girls with the codenames 'Aguhime', who is partnered with a WarGreymon X, and 'Gabuhime', who is partnered with a MetalGarurumon X, respectively. Aguhime and Gabuhime's Digimon partners can combine into Omegamon X.
The other pair of partners consists of a girl named Keke with a CresGarurumon and a boy named Max with a BlitzGreymon. Then, Max and Keke's partners combine to become Omegamon Alter-S. Max even refers to himself as the Fury Blitz
With the digital invaders and their dark lord's threats looming, Omegamon Kai, Omegamon X, and Omegamon Alter-S formed an Omegamon Trinity to combat the menaces.
The Kuiper Belt Guardians settled into their new lives in Crystal Tokyo and each eventually gave birth to their children. Once they inherit their mothers' Sailor Crystals, they'd become the next Kuiper Guardians.
Sailor Sedna and Dimitri/Perseus saw the birth of Athena. Based on their interactions with the far future Athena, they knew Arctic Sedna would be a strong leader for the Kuipers.
Prince Sedna and Sailor Orcus had a daughter named Rosa, who'd become Phantom Orcus.
Sailor Ixion and Kenta had a son named Tyrone, who'd become Toxic Ixion and officially made history by becoming the first male Sailor Guardian.
Sailor Eris and Larry had a son and a daughter. Interestingly, they were the first couple to have a Kuiper child, which would ironically be a boy. The son, named Tyler, inherited Eris' power and become Zephyr Eris. The daughter, named Lauren, would adopt Varuna's power and become Quantum Varuna.
The reason why Varuna chose to give her power to Eris's daughter? Because Tyler inherited Eris's power since he's the eldest by two years. The second reason: Sailor Varuna and Sailor Quaoar had a daughter through Kaiba Mokuba, who generously donated his sperm for in vitro fertilization. The daughter, named Lydia, inherited Sailor Quaoar's power and became Floral Quaoar.
Upon inheriting their mothers' Kuiper powers, the new Kuiper Belt Guardians have helped the Sailor Guardian's daughters handle the local criminal elements. And with time, these experiences will enable them to prepare for the future Sailor Wars.
Also during this time, two new Kuiper Guardians awakened and received their Sailor Crystals. These two became Sailor Makemake and Sailor Haumea, who were fulfilling roles meant for the two potentials that were already killed by Paradius in the past.
Following the Millennium Somnus, the five Valkyries and their husbands awoke from their slumbers and returned to Asgard to find changes in the Nine Realms since they'd been asleep. Vidar and Eir were able to unify the Nine Realms and established better relations with the other races, including the Elves, Dwarves, and Frost & Fire Giants. The Nine Realm races were also allowed entry to explore and witness Midgard.
Brunhilde, Sigrun, Skogul, Gondul, Mist, and their husbands were given a homecoming celebration in honor of their valiant heroics against Paradius. Vidar and Eir bestowed them swords and medals. After drinking merrily and eating to their heart's content, Brunhilde and her colleagues chose to stay on Earth. Brunhilde, David, Sigrun, and Alec have stayed in contact with Kotori and Himura.
Living happily near Crystal Tokyo, the Valkyries and their husbands had given birth to children. Brunhilde and David birthed a daughter named Aslaug. Sigrun and Alec birthed a daughter named Kara and a son named Ragnar. Skogul and Sudsakorn produced a daughter named Sophia and a son named Jack. Gondul and Sudsakorn birthed a daughter named Marozi. Mist and Taiyō named Misurugi. The children also had the chance to attend school on Earth.
As the Valkyries' children grew up, Aslaug and Ragnar became a couple, further connecting Brunhilde and Sigrun's families. Aslaug, Kara, and Ragnar are also close friends with Hitori, Kotori and Himura's daughter.
One morning, Aslaug was running late for school, but she found she wasn't the only one. She saw Kara, Ragnar, and Hitori waiting for her outside the school gates. Hitori chided Aslaug for being late while Ragnar helped carry Aslaug's lunch bag.
Sophia ended up with a blond-haired boyfriend named Herbert while Jack connected with Herbert's blond-haired sister Ashley.
During casual conversations outside school, Herbert treats Sophia well while Sophia considers Herbert equally handsome and polite. Sophia and Herbert are always seen walking together. When Jack and Ashley are together, Jack often considers her a nice girl but 'odd' with her word choices and proverbs, often making her an oddball, but Jack finds it a unique quality that makes him appreciate Ashley.
Kara and Marozi ended up becoming a couple alongside a boyfriend they accepted as their third partner. Misurugi ended up with a boyfriend.
Unlike the Sailor and Kuiper Guardians, the children didn't inherit their parents' Valkyrie powers, but they've inherited their bloodlines and weapons to fight enemies with and gained knowledge about the Nine Realms' cultures and histories. Through their discoveries, Aslaug, Kara, Ragnar, Sophia, Jack, Marozi, and Misurugi delved further into their families' lineage and the Norse deities.
Now adjusting to their new future lives, the Duelists either chose to retire from active dueling while a handful, such as Yugi, Judai, Sho, Manjoume, and Jonouichi, continued to actively compete. Within a couple of years, the Signers would already have been born or already young enough to start dueling. It would be a little while longer until Yugi and Judai meet Yusei again. When they did see Yusei, the three Duelists commenced with competitive but honorable duels while trying to top each other.
Meanwhile, in the Duel Monster realms, the Vampire Duel Monsters crowned Bram and Saya as their king and queen. Among the new Vampire Duel Monsters to join the vampire band were Oscar the Vampire Revenant, Evangeline the Vampire Sucker, and Vivian the Vampire Fascinator.
Seated together on their throne, Bram and Saya were also guarded by Adam, Demona, Sebastian, Rachel, and Walter.
Oscar could also become the Undead Vampire in his ultimate form. Vivian, who is also a Link monster, is in a relationship with Oscar. Evangeline is Bram and Saya's daughter.
"My king and queen, we've driven the intruders from our lands," Oscar reported to Bram and Saya.
"We'll ensure no one tries to usurp you two from the throne," Vivian openly vowed.
"Excellent work, you two," Bram said, who had his hand on Saya's hand. "Don't worry. You're safe with me."
"I know," Saya lovingly smiled at her loyal husband.
Jumping up and down, Evangeline clapped. "Yay, nothing is going to hurt us, mommy and daddy! I'll suck the baddies dry!"
"Now, now, my dear. Let's not drink the blood of the tainted," Bram said.
As many familiar Duel Monsters appeared in the game, new ones were being introduced into the game. Among these newer Duel Monsters are the Shiranui and the Mayakashi, who've existed long before they became cards. These two Duel Monster groups generally opposed each other, but there's also a co-existence despite remaining rivals since they put aside their differences to stop the Defiants.
Homusubi the Flame God - Shiranui and Oyuki the Absolute Zero Mayakashi - Yukionna are star-crossed lovers. Their love is akin to Adam and Demona as they were once enemies before becoming lovers. With the conflicts behind them, Homusubi and Oyuki had a chance to settle down and become true lovers. Being younger than the Vampire, Kozmo, Time Thief, and Dragon Maid Duel Monsters, they learned to get along with humans.
As they entered the Real World, Homusubi and Oyuki explored their new environment.
"We have a brand new world to explore, my love," Oyuki was bewildered by her surroundings.
"Why don't we become acquainted with Earth and its people? Let's also meet these famed Duelists and other heroes who helped defeat those Defiants," Homusubi said, walking Oyuki toward Domino City.
In the realm of the Amazons, Amazoness Princess matured and became the new queen of the Amazon tribe. Philippe and Sasha would often come to visit them.
The relationships between the Sailor Starlights and the Time Thieves continued to blossom. Yaten and Time Thief Redoer ended up getting married.
"Are we ready, you two?" Ryō asked as he, Dorothel, and Alice entered a portal taking them into the Digital World where Cyberdramon and Dobermon waited for them. The three partners each wore wedding rings.
In a mind-boggling twist, Renamon and Kai gave birth to two half-human/fox children. This was something Ruki couldn't fully grasp initially but later she would accept.
"Renamon, I hope you don't mind but would you like to add a third child?" Kai asked, holding up a small, black-furred canine with large and bright red eyes. His name is KouInumon. He's an orphan and he's looking for a home."
Gazing over KouInumon, Renamon was won over by KouInumon's adoring smile. "Oh my, but of course. He's adorable."
"Welcome to the family, KouInumon," Kai said.
With that, Renamon picked the black kit up and sat him down to play with their hybrid children. KouInumon giggled happily in the company of his new siblings.
Following Cain's sacrifice, Grace became CainCorp's new CEO. Upon awakening in Crystal Tokyo, Grace settled diplomatically with Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion. She then hired Marty, Andrea, and Dirk to become her company's advisors.
As far as the Rajita remnants were concerned, Lien returned to Earth shortly after the global freeze ended. During the Millennia Somnus, she became prime sovereign of the Rajita Republic and saw a complete overhaul of the Rajita civilization. With the Rajita Warlords removed, the once dictatorial empire became a republic. Ronx served as Lien's commanding officer and administrator of the Rajita Peacekeeping Forces.
Upon meeting with Neo-Queen Serenity and the other global leaders, Lien forged a peaceful pact to never quarrel again and that the Rajita Empire be remembered as a thing of the past.
The Kaiba family saw their company expand throughout greater territories. With the advancement of technology, Kaiba Seto was set to release a new series of Duel Monster cards called the Link Summon and Rush Duel series.
Kaiba Helio, now a teenager, sat in a crowd with his girlfriend Kuhouin Ayaka, a beautiful young woman with mid-back-length blonde hair. They along with the crowd were an active audience for a card tournament. It was at this event that the Link and Rush Duel cards were introduced.
"Wow, your dad's bringing out a new series of Duel Monster cards? Why am I not surprised? Your dad owns KaibaCorp," Ayaka said with enthusiasm.
"It's mostly uncle Mokuba who runs the company these days. My dad and mom are public figures these days," Helio reminded her.
"Right. Don't you and your sister Kisara compete in tournaments?"
"Not all of the time. Besides, we'd crush most of the competition ourselves. Only a few can compete with us."
"You mean the vets like Muto Yugi, Yuki Judai, and your dad?" Ayaka queried curiously.
"There are a few others, but those are names that come to mind," Helio nodded. "But, I'm not one to brag about wins and losses."
"You're so modest," Ayaka giggled.
"Not really. I just don't make a big deal about it," Helio muttered, watching Seto and Lyn talking on stage.
During the Duel Monster tournament, Helio and Ayaka witnessed Link Summons and Rush Duels being introduced, which captivated them.
"Dang, these Duel Monster competitions keep getting crazier," Ayaka blinked in bewilderment.
"Our family knows that Duel Monsters have to evolve with the times. We have to keep moving forward, not backward," Helio astutely stated.
As various Digital Realms connected to Earth, a slew of new Digimon varieties appeared. Among them included these new variations called Appmon. They operated somewhat like regular Digimon but they represent particular apps, which were later known as appli fields. Each appli is unique to an Appmon. Appmon materializes in the Real World through spaces called AR-Fields.
Appearing out of an AR-Field, several of these notable Appmon appeared: Gatchmon/Gaiamon, Dokamon/Poseidomon, Musimon/Ouranosmon, Hackmon/Hadesmon, and Offmon/Rebootmon.
Other notable new Digimon that appeared and befriended with Digidestined are a trio called Gammamon, Jellymon, and Angoramon. This dynamic trio has helped deal with local phantom and ghostly types that have crossed over into the Real World.
DATS would continue their operations under Captain Satsuma and his crew. Masaru and Agumon would be called to help with Digital World concerns. Touma moved on to spend time with his sister. Yoshino continued working as a police officer. Transferring over from police duties, Kotori and Himura were hired by DATS to administer their security forces. Every now and then, Masaru and Kotori would cross paths and engage in competitive interactions. Adora would later join DATS to aid Masaru, Kotori, and Himura on Digital World missions.
(Cue Two Steps From Hell - Towards the Sun)
When dealing with Digimon-related enemies, the Digiteams have been met with a few challenges that threaten peace. There remains the digital tyrant who has become the Digidestined's main enemy. The Tamers, who coupled NYX, Hypnos' successor in Crystal Tokyo, have dealt with entities called the Malice Bots.
Beyond these enemies, the Digiteams have also dealt with the Eaters, who are greater enemies than the digital tyrant and the Malice Bots. During what has been a heated conflict, the Digiteams have been fighting against the Eaters while the Sailor Guardians and their related allies have simultaneously taken part in fighting Chaos and its forces in the Sailor Wars. These Eaters created an AI called Leviathan, which has taken the form of a five-headed dark golden Link God Dragon with dark purple wings and black solid armor covering its massive body. When pushed to the brink, Leviathan had its slide-form, which resembled a slim-bodied, long-haired woman with shapeless feet, long fingernails on her hands, and the Leviathan's mark on the left side of her face. Despite the true Leviathan's humanoid appearance, her hair protruded two demonic wings, four horns, and two draconic heads. To fight this greater enemy, the Digiteams relied on the Appmon, who in their evolved forms Gaiamon, Poseidomon, Ouranosmon, Hadesmon, and Rebootmon. With unexpected aid from Homusubi and Oyuki, the Appmon and the Digiteams fought and defeated Leviathan.

Crystal Tokyo/Crystal Palace
"How does it go for the perimeters outside Crystal Tokyo? Have those insidious interlopers been dealt with?" King Endymion asked Takato, who along with Guilmon, Ruki, and Renamon bow before the king and Neo-Queen Serenity.
"We have. They were confirmed agents of Chaos," Takato reported. "They and the Malice Bots have been becoming bigger pains than we thought."
"Yeah, they're too many, but we can handle the Malice Bots, Takato," Guilmon replied knowingly.
"A rather optimistic outlook you have, Guilmon, I wish I could say the same," Ruki added.
"We must not give up, Ruki," Renamon said.
"I know, but they've been wearing me out."
"Don't worry, Ruki. We'll handle the Malice Bots," Takato reassured her.
"Right, as you say, knucklehead," Ruki sighed but also smirked sincerely. "And Renamon, I know you want to do anything to protect your kiddos back home, don't you?"
Renamon answered resolutely. "You know I do."
"You four have fought your hardest. Don't wear yourselves out," Neo-Queen Serenity said while standing up from her throne. "It looks like I'll be seeing action soon. The Sailor Wars are near and I sense Chaos' approach.
"My queen," Amare Venus entered the royal quarters with Kurama. "There were a lot more Chaos agents than we anticipated. Thankfully, we repelled their forces."
"What about Mars and the Hōō?" Neo-Queen Serenity queried.
"She and the others are already finishing the remaining Chaos hordes as we speak. Our strategies have been a success, but I only fear this is the beginning. Even Yusuke and Hiei have been run ragged," Kurama reported.
Suddenly, the queen and king's giant visual screen turned on and showed the ongoing battle against Chaos' agents and the Malice Bots. Hōō Mars appeared on the screen as she, Tonitrus Jupiter, Glacialis Sedna, Perseus, Prince Sedna, Platinum Orcus, Aduro Varuna, Omegamon Kai, and many others effortlessly wiped out the Chaos hordes.
"They keep coming, but we're not going to cease, my king and queen! We will vanquish Chaos' forces!" Hōō Mars reported the battle outcome through the big screen.
"We won't stop until they retreat!" Glacialis Sedna vowed.
"Bring it on!" Prince Sedna and Perseus shouted in unison.
"Alright! We're ready for you, Chaos!" Omegamon Kai energetically boasted.
Another image was shown on the big screen. Beyond the Chaos agent hordes that invaded Crystal Tokyo and Earth is a vague appearance of a Sailor Guardian-like humanoid shrouded in pure darkness. Beyond having a skirt and collar, she has Sailor Galaxia's headdress coupled with long black hair. She lacked a tiara but possessed an astrological sign of Chaos on her forehead. Her choker has the same symbol. Embellished on her chest is a shining large Chaos Crystal. Two large chaos snakes are seen protruding from her collar and down her abdomen. There are also several snakes in her headdress. As Sailor Cosmos warned Sailor Moon, the true Sailor Chaos finally emerged from the Galaxy Cauldron with the Chaos Crystal.
Facing the chaotic being she was meant to fight, Neo-Queen Serenity furrowed her brows. Before Neo-Queen Serenity could say anything, she saw Sailor Chibi Moon entering the royal quarters.
"Mom, let us fight with you," Chibi Moon requested as she, RJ, the Sailor Quartet, Sailor Blue Mars, Sailor Tamamo Venus, Sailor Battle Jupiter, Sailor Cyber Mercury, Ryuuhi, Daiki, Sailor Arctic Sedna, Sailor Phantom Orcus, Sailor Toxic Ixion, Sailor Zephyr Eris, Sailor Quantum Varuna, Sailor Floral Quaoar, and a Sailor Guardian who resembled Hina accompanied her. "We're ready."
"Chibiusa…" Neo-Queen Serenity paused as she glimpsed her daughter's unwavering look. It wasn't long ago that the queen birthed her daughter and held her protectively in her arms, but now the child had quickly grown into a beautiful and resolute Sailor Guardian. She nodded knowingly. "Alright, but we're in this together."
"Thanks, mom," Chibi Moon nodded.
"We're ready whenever you are, our princess," Sailor Ceres said.
"Let's kick some butt out there, Chibiusa," RJ flashed a thumbs up.
"How about you, Sailor Gao Pluto?" Chibi Moon asked Pluto and Lupe's daughter, who nodded.
"I am. I want to fight alongside mom and dad," Gao Pluto replied valiantly.
"Don't forget about us," Judai's voice was heard when the duelist, now an experienced master in the game, entered with Yugi and Yusei entered the royal quarters. "We're here to help if you need it."
"Thank you, three," King Endymion graciously replied.
"And us as well!" Masaru called out when he & Agumon, Kotori & Betamon, and Himura & BlackGabumon entered the royal quarters.
"Aniki and I are at your service!" Agumon happily announced.
"Just don't hog up the fighting, you battle junkies," Kotori admonished the two.
"Speak for yourself," Masaru and Agumon muttered.
"Huh?! Say that to my face or say it to my fist, jerks!" Kotori berated them.
"Oh boy, not now," Himura muttered.
"You guys haven't changed much at all," Taichi's voice chimed in as he & Agumon and Yamato & Gabumon entered.
"You're all looking well, my friends!" Taichi's Agumon waved to everyone.
"Taichi, it's good to see you again, our great Digimon diplomat," Neo-Queen Serenity geninely acknowledged him.
"Since our kids are out there fighting, we couldn't stand by any longer," Yamato said. "You ready, Taichi?"
"Hell yeah!" Taichi declared.
"We're glad to see you back in action, you two!" Takato added.
"Same to you, Takato," the Bearer of Courage replied.
"Don't forget. Should we survive the Sailor Wars, there's still one adventure ahead for us," Tempus Pluto reminded the heroes as she and Lupe entered the quarters. "Make no mistake. That abomination is the true Sailor Chaos and not Charon. Battling Chaos will be a greater uphill battle for us all."
"I know," Neo-Queen Serenity said, eyeing Sailor Chaos' presence on the large screen.
"Mom! Dad!" Gao Pluto called to her parents.
"You mean that adventure that involves us being picked up by a dimension traveler from that dimension. The one where that Yami Ghidorah abomination is supposed to attack?" Neo-Queen Serenity asked Tempus Pluto.
"Indeed, we will be taken there to help dimension YYGDM-01 against Yami Ghidorah and his forces," Tempus Pluto warned.
The heroes reflected on their last encounter with their YYGDM-01 counterparts. Although they felt no obligation to help YYGDM-01, saving their counterparts' dimension was their recourse.
"I'm ready to help them, especially the other me," Takato said genuinely. "What do you think, Ruki?" As he held Ruki's hand, they glanced over each other's wedding rings and nodded together.
"Sure, I'm in," Ruki accepted.
"Then, it's decided. Should we survive the Sailor Wars and these other conflicts, we will go to that other dimension when the traveler picks us up," Neo-Queen Serenity declared as she turned into Sailor Cosmos and readied for her fated showdown with Sailor Chaos.
With that, the heroes cheered in unison. As Judai walked over to Takato, they fist-bumped each other.
"You ready to make a difference in our world and theirs, Judai?" Takato asked the duelist.
"Gotcha! Let's show them all what we heroes do best!" Judai replied earnestly.
Shin-YuYuGiDigiMoon concludes.

A/N: There it is. The end of Shin-YuYuGiDigiMoon, and perhaps the end of YuYuGiDigiMoon period. What do I mean by that? You'll have to scroll down because I have a surprise regarding my final and unpublished YYGDM-01 story, Wrath of the Defiants.
Anyway, not to detract from this story's finale, the Shin-YuYuGiDigiMoon did end on a happy but open-ended note. It's meant to show that our heroes still have work to do. There can't ever be long-term peacetime as long as Chaos still exists. That said, even with the Chaos aspect around, the Paradius Duo are gone.
To start off, as you've seen in this final Shin-YYGDM chapter, the Paradius duo controlled and turned some of the heroes into chaotic warriors. Their endgame goal was to convert the whole heroes into their unwilling pawns. Did you know that was originally intended for Dawn of Chaos? The 'Paradais duo' of that story wanted to convert the heroes into chaotic warriors as their final goal but LazerWulf didn't like the idea and said, "I really don't think they (Charon and the Prophet) would really believe that the heroes would ever join them". So, the heroes were banished into other realities as a means to divide them. Well, in Shin-YYGDM, it's been revealed why they'd want the heroes to join them to fight a common foe: Yami Ghidorah. Yes, you heard right. Yami Ghidorah is the intended final villain for Wrath of the Defiants!
FTR, this is not the Yami Ghidorah from Urban Legends/Akane no Mai. That creature is the Yami Matter variation of Godzilla's three-headed nemesis. This needs to be said for those who've read/are still following those two stories. This 'Yami Ghidorah' whose name is mentioned in this chapter is the Rajita Warlord from YYGDM-01's The Invasion of the Rajita story and has returned with a new form.
The Paradius Duo wanted the Shin-YYGDM heroes to get stronger so they could unite and stop Yami Ghidorah, whose existence also threatens their universe, too. So, to anyone who thought Cain Bearer was going to be Wrath of the Defiants endgame villain. That's a big no.
However, our heroes decide they'll take on Yami Ghidorah without Paradius if need be. That leads us into the Sailor Wars. It was pretty straightforward. Outside the Paradius Duo, the other battles were not too important, and decided to summarize those parts. Yes, you're missing out on potential dialogue parts, including Omegamon IM vs. the chaos-controlled Tamers, Yugi/Judai/Yusei vs. Seto/Manjoume/Jack, and Hōō Mars vs. Yami Hōō. Since I'm already tight with other projects, I didn't want to waste any more time and focus specifically on the Paradius Duo fights. I will say the notable moments in those other battles are Dukemon becoming ChaosDukemon & Chaos Mode, Sailor Moon becoming Sailor Cosmos, Yugi/Judai/Yusei fighting their rivals, the Earthbound Gods return, Venus slaying the Rajita Warlords, and Hōō Mars becoming White Hōō Mars.
What did we get in the Paradius Duo battles? Lots of angry screaming from Sailor Pluto, Charon making the most sickening & deplorable sexual noises that'd make anyone's ears bleed, Millenniummon unveiling a new form, Charon combining with Chaos, our heroes beating down on the Paradius Duo's asses, Charon backstabbing Millenniummon, Future Athena's sacrifice, Cain's redemption and self-sacrifice who along with Athena helped turn the tide of the battle, and Sailor Pluto ending Charon's existence.
Yeah, as I said, it was a straightforward outcome. The masterminds behind these 3.5 years of chaotic hell against our heroes got their comeuppance. While Cain remains a controversial figure in the heroes' minds, they won't forget his selfless sacrifice, which renewed the hopes in the masses that weakened Shin Sailor Chaos. Thankfully, to prevent a BelialVamdemon-like defeat, Pluto had the honor of beating Charon to hell before making her cease to exist. Whether you like Cain or not, he was a difference maker, and his death ensured Grace takes his company in a better direction.
Of course, we can't end this final arc without celebrations. This final arc featured Wallace, Nadeshiko, and Hitsuki as a primary couple. This chapter gave them plenty of moments to explore their relationships, including a hot spring and a wedding. Their wedding also doubled as a Christmas party. And to make up for the little Tamer interactions in this final arc, the Tamers and the Duelists have some downtime moments during the party. Taichi is also on his path to becoming a full-time diplomat. The Sailor Guardians, the Detectives, and others say goodbye to Chibiusa, the future Sailors, the Signers, and Athena.
Then, there's the Millennia Somnus. As a result of the Paradius Duo's meddling, the world became affected and required time to rejuvenate. The world undergoes a worldwide freeze and everyone is placed in a nearly 1,000-year sleep. This is based on the global freeze concept used in the '90s Sailor Moon that led to the rise of Crystal Tokyo. Somnus is 'sleep' in Latin and is based on the ancient Roman god of sleep.
The name Crystal Tokyo is the official name for Neo-Queen Serenity's future utopia and as such is retained in Shin-YYGDM. However, did you know it's called Neo-Crystal Tokyo in YYGDM? It was originally going to be just Crystal Tokyo but Lazer suggested the name change to Neo-Crystal Tokyo. He didn't give a clear reason why but I surmise it was to distinguish it from the canon version. Giving it the 'Neo' moniker makes it sound too special and further exemplifies YYGDM-01's overly pretentious status.
As you've read, yes, Link Summons and Rush Duels become the next step in KaibaCorp's Duel Monster technology and mechanics. With the advent of Crystal Tokyo, Duel Monsters needed to evolve with the times. This greatly serves as a bookend when Arc I of this reboot introduced XYZ and Pendulum Summons.
Btw, the canon epilogue for the original Digimon Adventure applies here. That same scene that bookends Adventure, 02, Tri, and Kizuna? It happens in this timeline during Crystal Tokyo. Taichi's diplomacy, while met with challenges, has been successful. However, that didn't stop new evils from rising. Enter NeoDevimon and LadyDevimon X. But, who is this new 'evil master' that's filled the void left by the Seven Great Demon Lords? Maybe it's Burizalor or one of his kind? ;) Heh, well… I can't confirm nor deny that Shin-YYGDM's Digimon Adventure story became a backdoor pilot/meta prequel to a new Digimon Fusion Kai adaptation. Hell, Omegamon Kai is a tribute to my DFKai series, Omega X, Metalla X, and their Saiyan counterparts - Goku, Vegeta, Vegito, Gogeta.
Over tributes and nods for Crystal Tokyo: Appmon and Ghost Game Digimon being involved. The Eaters, Malice Bots, and Leviathan are other threats that the Digiteams face. The Signers do eventually show up. New Vampire Duel Monsters appear. Renamon/Kai have kids (much to everyone except Ford's dismay; thankfully, I sneaked an 'Inumon' surprise to appease old YYGDM fans). And in a hilarious but satisfying moment, Setsuna gives birth to her and Lupe's daughter Hina.
In the end, Sailor Chaos (w/ no Charon) returns and our heroes have to contend with her before being picked up to go to the YYGDM-01 dimension. Yes, you heard right. A select few will be going to participate in Wrath of the Defiants and help the YYGDM-01 heroes battle Yami Ghidorah. That's another big spoiler. More on that when you scroll down to see a big surprise.
My thoughts on this ending? I like it. It's a simpler and straightforward ending than what we have planned for YYGDM-01's final battle and ending. Do I like it more than YYGDM-01's planned ending? Probably, though this story is open-ended and more optimistic while YYGDM-01's ending feels like a complete circle ending. For Sailor Moon in that story, it's a complete character story arc. Likewise for the Tamers whose legacy continues one way or another. I might give the edge to YYGDM-01's planned epilogue. Either way, I've given Defiants an ending and that's what matters to me.

Overall Thoughts: The first of the new Triad series (the other two being Akane no Mai and Akane no Guilty Crown) is completed and appropriately the first one to be done. Yes, overall, this was an interesting experiment and quite a gamble to reboot a 15-plus-year-old fanfic crossover series. I was getting burned out with YYGDM-01 for a time and wanted to do something new. Ford introduced me to Persona 5 and that led me to read his Persona Vein fic. Then, I helped him write PV's sequel (at the time) Urban Legends, which has spawned into a complete revision called Akane no Mai. Ford asked if I wanted to reboot YuYuGiDigiMoon from scratch. Initially, I wasn't fully invested in the idea because I had just put YYGDM-01 on an extended hiatus several months prior. Did you know this? The last YYGDM-01 chapter I wrote was a single Gaiden chapter in February, a full month before the world shut down due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.
I thought about it and I said, "Sure. Why not? Let's try it." I was relieved that these would be an OVA-styled four arc series instead of a long-term commitment. After semi-retiring YYGDM-01, I didn't want to do another long-term series like it. He reassured me I can add new concepts I never had the chance to do with the original and gave me a little more creative freedom. Unlike the original YYGDM-01 which involved a collaboration of multiple fanfic writers and with LazerWulf as a consultant, Shin-YYGDM was only done by Ford and me. The first arc, Wrath of Ghidorah, was a long writing process and took me a full month to finish. It was arduous, but I got it done. It was nice to see some good reviews, but there's of course the criticism of 'not being the original' or that I shouldn't have done summarized scenes. Whatever criticisms I faced, I mostly ignored them and pressed forward. Thankfully, there were periods when I could break between Shin-YYGDM chapters to work on my other projects (AnM, AnGC, and my first novel draft). The criticisms were for the most part not harsh, but I'll be honest there were times I was annoyed when I had people asking when I'm going to revive YYGDM-01 with the Defiants story. Time and time again these remarks from the same people, and I thought. You know what? Since you won't stop badgering, I'll just put up a full spoilered outline in the final Shin-YYGDM chapter. Moreover, I did that in case I'm unable to commit to the YYGDM-01 final story.
As time went on, the Shin-YYGDM was less strenuous than the original stories but writing the long bits did get tiring. And it admittedly did take time away from my novel draft commitments. With that and the complaints of the chapters being too long, I opted to split the Shin-YYGDM chapters into parts and give readers time to digest it. Advent of Mythologies became my favorite arc and allowed me to implement more gods & concepts from Japanese Mythology. Legacy of Across Dimensions celebrated the union of the new YYGDM and the old one and became a passing of the torch moment. The Defiant Chaos served as the placeholder for the Wrath of the Defiants story just in case I don't want to commit to YYGDM-01's final story. So, this story can provide me with closure for YYGDM. Then, I can fully commit to things I want to do. But if and when I decide to bring YYGDM-01 back for the last dance, you'll know. It'll be like finishing a reboot show and later on returning to the original for a final go (Halloween, Devil May Cry, '90s X-Men, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, anyone?). Look up Un-Reboot when you have the chance.
Until then, I'm ending this long fanfic curse that I've coped with since 2003. Nearly two decades and I'm looking forward to newer avenues. For those who've stuck with me and YuYuGiDigiMoon (original and Shin) this long, allow me to say: "Thank you."
Hang on. We're not through yet. There's more I need to let out, including a special commentary of my persona history with literature, my thoughts on 'fanfic pride/curse', and a big surprise that's related to YYGDM-01's Wrath of the Defiants.
Second Special Commentary (Literature, Fanfic Pride, Fanfic Curse):
I've been humble about keeping and gaining new readers for my fanfics, especially the YuYuGiDigiMoon series. I can't thank those enough who have left me comments and showed support for YYGDM, and my other fics.
Now, here's what I've been waiting to do and get off my chest. This is where I set aside pleasantries. No more regrets. There have been issues during the past few years I've been meaning to get off my chest. This section will be part self-analysis, reflection, and a rant over my long fanfic writing tenure. Anyone reading this can read along. For newcomers, you'll get to know me better. For long-time readers, you'll hopefully come to better understand and appreciate me outside of just being a humble fanfic writer. I call this my redemption arc after I've overcome my arrogant and selfish persona. I've been running away from speaking out about my behind the scenes. So, I'm letting it all out here.
I do have a temper to work on. And to answer that personal question: Do you really have a social life? Outside of some acquaintances and old friends, I don't have much of a social life offline, and I realize I don't make an effort to form social connections online. It stems from my childhood when kids cruelly teased me and called me names while I was growing up. I've even had a few 'so-called friends' betray me and join the bully ranks. So, don't blame me if I've developed distrust in human beings nowadays, and it's a lot worse with social media. I get social anxiety when I'm faced with new people offline and online because the past distrust continues to haunt me. Can you just imagine if I was growing up through social media and faced online bullying and persecution? I wouldn't be able to mentally handle it. I'd want to kill myself if there weren't a segment of people I trust in my life. That mistrust in others is the result of why you'd think I'm being singled out. I don't open up dialogue and tell people what type of person I am and tell them about my backstory. I keep things bottled up unless I'm forced to, which is what I'm doing now. And I even tried giving the Discord a chance and it was good in the beginning. It wasn't until Darth started rubbing me the wrong way. I go out of my way to defend my stories. Yes, I can freely say that I do consider my fanfics to be friends of mine. They're stupid and silly friends of mine. That's where the core of my fanfic pride comes from. They helped me cope with stressful and terrible situations. No, I won't make excuses for my temper (although, some of it is justified toward you know who and sometimes towards Chaos). I admit to my arrogant flaws and I can be selfish with ideas and respect (which has to be earned through humility). Oh, and speaking of humility, don't take this the wrong way, but you can't assess my full character. You don't know the full me. Just because I may not show a lot of humility online, does not mean I'm not humble with some things in my life.I'm not running away anymore because I am telling you all of this now from my heart. This is just the beginning of my redemption arc, and a sample of what to expect when I write my self-reflection commentary and close the door on my fanfic curse, which I'm ready to put out of its misery like Old Yeller.
For starters, has Shin-YYGDM been worth it in the long run? My answer is sort of. It allowed me to write a new YYGDM story from scratch that has no prior connecting tissue with the original YYGDM (until the Legacy of Across Dimensions and even that was just a one-shot, which had no overall effect on the Shin-YYGDM). It also allowed me to create a legacy story dedicated to the YuYuGiDigiMoon series and crossover fanfic writing. It may not be the best YYGDM saga but it has a lot of good moments to reflect on. It has allowed me to play with new concepts and characters, which I never had an opportunity to use for the original. Shin-YYGDM allowed me to utilize canon concepts instead of full-on AU concepts that the original YYGDM was infamously known for (to an egregious degree I might add). More than ever, Shin-YYGDM allowed me this opportunity to write a Defiants story and write an actual A/N full outline of the Wrath of the Defiants story for the original YYGDM. I've been holding back on this outline for years and until now I'm going to reveal the full spoilers for the Wrath of the Defiants story here. This way there are no more regrets in case I don't ever get to write it.
Before I delve into the Wrath of the Defiants full outline, I wish to pay my respects to the artists (actors (live and voice) especially) that have passed away over the past year. First off, I pay my respects and tribute to Chris Ayres, the voice of several anime characters, including his most famous and beloved voice role for Freeza. Though a seasoned voice actor once he started the Freeza role, he made that character his own. He started great in Dragon Ball Z Kai and later on became a stand-out phenomenal performer through Dragon Ball Z: Resurrection F, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball Super: Broly. As good as the other English voice actors for Freeza were, Chris Ayres was one of a kind and he was a superbly great guy based on what I heard. Personally, I only met him from a glance at a convention and we shared a hello exchange. My only regret was not getting his autograph and a small chat with him, but this was before I seriously wanted to get autographs from voice actors.
RIP to Christoper Ayres. "Love and laughter, always."
Most importantly, RIP to all the famed actors and cultural figures who've passed away, including Betty White (who did become 100 if you count leap years), Bob Saget, Louie Anderson, Gilbert Gottfried, Sidney Poitier, Peter Robbins (the original voice for Charlie Brown), William Hurt, Scott Hall (formerly WWE's Razor Ramon), Estelle Harris, Taylor Hawkins (of the Foo Fighters) Emilio Delgado, Ivan Reitman, and even a few recent ones who died before they turned 40, which is always unfortunate since they never lived full lives. Their performances and illustrious careers won't be forgotten.
Speaking of AU reliances, as part of the Shin-YYGDM saga, we crossed over the Shin continuity with the original YYGDM cast as a way to celebrate the 10th anniversary of a fanfic called Across Dimensions, which another fanfic writer named Chaosblazer and I collaborated on. Reflecting on that story, it was a fun experience that led to an online companionship that's lasted to this very day. We are still friends. However, as time went on, I felt continuing the crossover adventures with the 'Triad' (the three-way fanfic continuity name for YuYuGiDigiMoon/Digimon Fusion Kai/Accel Stream) was becoming stale and I had no room to grow as a writer. I wanted an out but I didn't dare to tell Chaos that. He assumed I was along for the ride. Then, I was allowed to stretch my creative wings by taking on a new fandom experience through the Persona franchise, starting with Persona 5 and I helped Allfather-Ford write a new crossover series called Akane no Mai, which was originally a two-part rough draft story called Persona Vein + Urban Legends, which crossed P5 over with Code Vein and to some extent Kakegurui and Nioh. It became a refreshing fanfic experience for me. On the side, I was in the process of writing my first novel draft. Between AnM and my novel draft, I was refining my writer's craft and leaving behind the multi-crossover Triad world. I was relieved to put anything to do with YYGDM and Accel Stream behind me. I was ready to progress.
However, Chaos asked me if I could revise Across Dimensions to celebrate the 10th anniversary because he had some ideas for it. However, I declined because I felt doing so would be regressing to handling a story that not a lot of general readers are going to read and reflect on. Besides, I saw this move as me going backward and not forwards. I saw more incentive in writing my novel draft than refining a 10+ old multi-crossover story. Personally, I saw this as Chaos badgering me to continue the Triad series as if he's trying not to allow me to progress as a writer and moving forward, and this is even after YYGDM-01 Wrath of the Defiants concludes one day. It came to a point several years ago (circa. 2016-2017) that he spammed me with continuous emails and messages that hindered and delayed my novel writing progress and goals.
Another reason I didn't want to continue writing Triad stories anymore is because of Chaos' obsession with his Kensuke Rainer character. The constant shoving of Kensuke down my throat was partly the last straw for me. Even when we have conversations, he almost always has to bring up Kensuke. It grew tiring. It came to a point that if I were to write anything to do with my own OCs (Dimitri, Karin, and Athena) on their own stories, I fear Chaos will ask if Kensuke will be with them. That's how burned out I was including and shoehorning his character in stories that have nothing to do with him. And I feel if Kensuke continued to stick, my aforementioned OCs would never grow anymore as individual characters. It's already happened with a few stories where Kensuke was never meant to be in it, but because 'Ken' needed to fight someone because Chaos didn't like that particular character (i.e. Beerusmon and Sailor Charon). I should've told him I was growing tired of Ken, but I didn't want to be a jerk and hurt his feelings. Well now, because of that I've become disinterested in writing anything about Ken.
I also didn't like how out of the three universes, Accel Stream had to have the highest god authority and won't allow anyone to beat Kensuke convincingly (and even if that happens, Ken is not down for the count too long without getting his payback). I've developed god systems in my YYGDM and Digimon Fusion Kai stories that feel should be the higher-tier authority. Hell, I even created a character based on Marvel's One Above All named the Overseer, who is the one who governs the multiverse of our fanfic worlds alongside pre-existing canon universes, which I've called the Nexus. But Chaos doesn't think that's good enough and he wanted his god-tier watchers (the Young Guns) to intervene against the most dangerous villain Ford and I made to make him look insignificant, and become some kind of ultimate authority figures for the Triad. I felt I just couldn't be trusted handling the big villain of the story that he felt the need to send his guys to beat up Ford and I's ultimate bad guy. Thankfully, things got resolved. However, I want Chaos to know this: I didn't want to stick with the Triad, Accel Stream, and Kensuke after Cross Generations. Not only do I have a future writing career to realize and think about but I have my own health to consider. I want to realize my dream of becoming a professional writer before anything happens to me. Most of all, I don't want any fucking regrets if something (tragic even) happened to me before my first book gets published. I also hope if that happens you'll tell your family that you're friends with a professional writer and you (and they) can experience what I accomplished. In the end, we decided to part ways with pursuing any more Accel Stream collaborations and moved on into new directions. Chaosblazer feels content continuing to try writing a few final Accel Stream stories to give some closure for his character and I've ventured into writing my first novel draft and writing fanfics for new fandoms (Persona and Code Vein).
I don't just want to write as a hobby anymore. As much as I enjoy writing as a hobby, I hope to make it a career and an arena to expand my creativity outside the restrictions of a multi-crossover fanfic series that didn't allow me to grow more than I should. If there's anything I've learned as a fanfic writer, we're the most selfless people ever when we write so much and don't get paid for our work. We write fanfics out of the labor of love. That's a lesson I've learned and will take with me for the rest of my life. Fanfic writing has also helped improve me as a writer.
By the way, Chaosblazer. I say this all with a heavy heart and also being your friend. I don't want to have any regrets about holding back my suppressed emotions. These ventings are based on past grievances and not currently. You needed to hear it from me. I hope this gives us closure on our future as writing collaborators for Accel Stream and Kensuke. As far as Kensuke is concerned, the only thing left for us is what happens in Wrath of the Defiants. The Triad era is over but we can reflect on all the good that came out of our collaborations.
Another person I want to address is the person responsible for allowing me to speak my mind through this lengthy A/N. Allfather-Ford, I'd like to thank you for giving me this chance to speak my mind and vent my frustrations. Much like Chaosblazer, you've been a good friend and collaborator. You started as a fan of my fanfic stories and now you've become more than a collaborator but also a meditator. Without you, I wouldn't have been convinced to follow and realize my dream as a professional writer. I've been making the first few steps and have been successful so far. Not only am I setting aside a long-time hindrance (YYGDM-01), I'm nearly done with my first novel draft and am a step closer to finding an editor and hopefully seeking a publisher. However, for all the good you've done for me, I wish you would settle down with the long detailed outlines that sometimes become difficult to follow, too many parenthesized sentences, and stop trying to make decisions for me when I have free will to make my own decisions. Moreover, no more 'special pseudo-novel projects' like Shin-YYGDM and Akane no Guilty Crown since they've slightly delayed my novel writing progress. Going forward, can you lighten up the load and don't overwork beyond my limits? Please. Seriously, I shouldn't be asked to spend extended periods writing long essays and commentaries such as these.
Another thing: In regards to Defiants/YYGDM-01, the battles and the climax with Yami Ghidorah's and the war in the Crystal Age epilogue, I'm not going to hold back my grievances and frustrations with how overly dragged out and annoyingly grandiose these final YYGDM-01 battles will be than the battles in Cross Generations, including that story's final Zeed X conflict. I always tell myself Defiants might not be as difficult as Dawn of Chaos, but it turns out that since it is the series finale, it'll be harder than Cross Generations, Shin-YuYuGiDigiMoon, Akane no Mai, and Akane no Guilty Crown. I'm letting this out since I know you want me to speak honestly about my feelings while writing Defiants.
Since I'm discussing creative writing, how did I get into literature? Well, truthfully, I once had some issues reading. While I wasn't entirely dyslexic, I couldn't read non-pictured books well. My introduction to literature was Dr. Seuss, The Berenstain Bears, and dinosaur-related books. I could read whatever dialogue was there in pictured and comic books, though I couldn't understand some of the expanded vocabularies for me at the time. It wasn't until I was in fourth grade that I was pushed to read more books. Among the first books I read were a few of the American literature classics (including H.G. Wells' The Time Machine and Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol) and at the time I read a lot of the Goosebump books. The first published adult novel I read was John Crichton's Jurassic Park, which I read not long after the movie came out. It was mind-boggling to see what was changed from the book. Reading a lot helped me improve my grades, especially in my Reading and English courses. Now I could better analyze the reading material. English classes became less problematic through elementary and junior high. By late junior high, I was introduced to terms such as syntax, diction, paraphrasing, prose, etc., which was a challenge to learn. That wasn't as challenging as utilizing these literary tools to analyze English papers and documents. The books I've had to read in junior high and high school included but were not limited to Of Mice and Men, The Great Gatsby, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Outsiders, The Catcher in the Rye, The Lord of the Flies, Macbeth & other Arthurian-based works, and the tales from Greek Mythology. In college, I've read a few of the same books, but of the new books I've read for my English and Writing courses, I was introduced to 1984 and various works from poets.
All the teachers that helped me were my 11th grade English teacher Mr. White and later on, my English & Writing professor Mr. Lawrence. While I didn't make too many friends with classmates, there were a few I connected with thanks to my siblings and they became my closest friends. I value having a few close friends over a large following of acquaintances.
Outside of school, reading became a hobby of mine. I've read plenty of books written by Stephen King. Among my favorite King novels are The Shining (and I enjoy the Stanley Kubrick film over the TV Movie series that King seemingly preferred), In the Mouth of Madness, It, Misery, Carrie, The Green Mile, Pet Sematary, and The Stand. And I've enjoyed most of the film adaptations based on King's novels. Since we're on the subject of my redemption arc, The Shawshank Redemption is one of my favorite (if not might be my favorite Stephen King film adaptation) King films as it relates to me finally getting out of YYGDM's shackles.
Harry Potter was a series I followed. I read the books once, though the movies were what drew my interest first. Just like Jurassic Park, I picked up on the differences between the storytelling mediums for film and novel writing. While I did follow HP, I never attended any events related to the franchise. I understand the series' popularity and it becoming a gateway series into literature for young readers. Nowadays, although I still enjoy aspects of Harry Potter, I'm not too keen on J.K. Rowling these days for reasons I will not discuss here (i.e. disliking her stance on the transgender community). Just remember: Never meet your heroes. I will just say I can somewhat relate to her when it comes to the depression she endured while writing her first HP book before its publication. As I've been writing my first novel draft, I've had to endure some depression and some health issues that caused me to delay my writing process. And then there were the fanfic projects I was still writing that got in my way. As of this writing, I'm almost done with the novel draft, and I hope to see the first publication within 5-7 years.
Despite how I and others feel about her recent controversial comments, Rowling helped open the floodgates to youth literature's popularity, allowing others to write stories that draw in young readers. I've read a few of these books. While I didn't follow and read the books in their entirety, I've read at least the first book from Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson, and I look forward to the TV series when it comes out. I hope the show is better than the movies. And while I've hardly read them, I acknowledged the Kane Chronicles series as it was going on.
As the movies were coming out, the Lord of the Rings caught on with many readers of all ages. I was among them. Before Peter Jackson's films, my first experience was the animated Ralph Bakshi films. I enjoyed those movies but didn't know the stories were based on books. Once the Jackson movies came out, I picked up on J.R.R. Tolkien's epic novels. I'll be honest I didn't finish reading them because they initially bored me. I preferred the movies, including the Extended Editions. Sometime after The Return of the King was released, I gave the books another chance to enjoy and appreciate Tolkien's vision. It was one of the instances when I liked the films over the books but the books are a great read. Please read them if you liked the movies. I've read The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy but never read The Silmarillion and any of the supplemental material. As far as Tolkien is concerned, I consider him a great visionary who created an epic fantastical world that has managed to be translated into an animated and live-action film. We'll see about the TV series but it looks like it'll be another good adaptation.
Other books series I want to mention: I've had friends mention and recommend The Dresden Files, but I haven't read any of them yet. I do know about its main character Harry Dresden. I've only read the first book of The Chronicles of Narnia series, and most of my experience from that is the films. Although I've watched the films, I've not read The Hunger Games. Even while Game of Thrones was coming out, I hadn't peeked at A Song of Fire and Ice.
I knew I had the talent to write creatively. Writing analytical papers wasn't my forte. Growing up, I relied on my vivid imagination to write a few short stories with not-so-great illustrations. When I entered late-middle school, I discovered the earliest form of fanfiction websites. didn't exist yet. The first fanfics I've read were based on the SatAM-era Sonic the Hedgehog series, Spider-Man, X-Men, and later Spawn. This led to me finding Sailor Moon fanfics and later on Dragon Ball Z and Digimon fics.
As I'm writing this commentary and being a long-time fanfic writer, literature has become a crucial part of my life and the main inspiration for writing, and helped me become a double English/History major. Writing has become an irreplaceable part of my personality. As I've been writing Shin-YYGDM, I'm set to leave behind years of long-term fanfic writing for professional writing. It has somewhat reignited my passion for writing my first novel through the final arc. It's also helped me to overcome my 'fanfic pride' and accept humility when it comes to writing professionally and facing the challenges of coping with criticisms. I've come to accept that not everyone is going to enjoy what I write but some critics should know better than being dishonest and exhibiting bias (subjective vs objective views come to mind). Most of all, this commentary is for me to overcome the 'fanfic curse' that YYGDM had placed over me. It has drawn attention away from other writing necessities that I've put aside for a long time and consumed a lot of my free time over the years. Now, I can finally let go. With it, I can also let go of the tempers and frustrations I've dealt with other people. I'm choosing to prioritize taking a path to become a renewed and better person and blocking out the negative influences. Some people want to see a new me deserving of a second chance.
As I mentioned earlier, many celebrities, including a few voice actors (Chris Ayres sadly being one of them) have passed away due to ailments and old age. I once told myself and a friend, "I often feared if some disease would affect me later in life" on January 28, 2014. In 2013, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and she thankfully made a quick recovery thanks to treatment in 2014. Thank goodness for advanced science and medicine. I've come to accept the aging human body and our needing to have healthier bodies and make healthier choices. I've been committed to exercising in a gym and at home when a gym is not available to me. Exercise has helped me to overcome depression. When I don't exercise (especially when I suddenly fell out of it from 2011-2015), I fall back into depression and poor health choices. Even during the COVID-19 pandemic, I still managed to exercise when I could to keep myself in good physical and mental shape. I'm going to have to if I'm going to stay healthy while I'm pursuing a writing career.
The following are long passages that have been cherry-picked from my past dialogues. They're all of my younger self's aspirations and A/N commentaries. This also serves to let me reflect and for you to see my identity and growth as a writer. And this all ties into me stepping away from the fanfic curse and finding my identity as a professional writer. There will also be surprising revelations about my personal experiences. Believe me, this will be a long reflection.
Apr 17, 2005 (Final chapter of D Frontier: Millenniumon Saga): It all started during the summer of 2001. I was reading some Dragonball Z/Digimon crossovers online. Some were decent while most were pretty crappy. I wasn't that big of an author then. Hell, I barely even posted at at the time. Back then, I wrote an ALIEN/Digimon crossover that never managed to come out right and I wasn't very pleased with it. Then, I wrote a digimon fic implementing the ideas of Spawn. TK played Spawn while Kari married Davis. No, it was NOT a bash fic! Anyway, this one wasn't very successful either. Soon, I decided to toy around with the ideas of mixing DBZ and Digimon together to see how the elements would work out in a crossover. I was even preparing to write a set of stories based on the Saiyan Saga using the 01 characters. Turns out by the time 9/11 occurred, I was horrified by the tragic events and wasn't in any mood to continue writing. One month after the event, I went about continuing my work. Back then, I wasn't an excellent writer as I am now. It was all in script format and I'm not pleased with the results. I had actually written the Digital Invaders Saga back in 2001, but I never bothered to post it up on That's how bad the fic was. So, came the winter break of 2001. I skipped ahead to write the original version of the Burizalor Saga. It had script format but I had quickly strayed away from that pathetic format. Now, where did I get the term 'Digimon Fusion'? Well, it was all thanks in part to Digimon Tamers. I had watched a video clip of the Japanese version of the Tamers series showing Takato and Guilmon bio-merging into the awesome Dukemon/Gallantmon. I was intrigued and stunned to say the least. Then, it hit me. 'That's it! That's what I'm looking for! Fusion!' So thus Digimon Fusion was born. I liked the concept of Digimon and humans merging into supreme warriors. So, as soon as I reached near the Burizalor Saga end, I had Tai and Agumon merge using elements of Tamers and DBZ. I've always wanted to see how Digimon would work if they fought just like the Z-Warriors. To this very day, the concept lives on without any signs of slowing down. :P As the series rolled on through the Virus and D-Reaper Sagas, I've received a growing fan base. I wasn't sure whether to be stunned or surprised. People like Dark Warrior, Max Acorn, Anthony and AnT were all stunned with my work. I was commended for the idea. Heck, AnT even told me through a review that he wrote his popular Digimon Tribute after reading my D-Tamers season. What do you think, guys? I've managed to influence other authors out there in the Digimon secion of ;) Eventually, I would be the first other than DDOC to use Max Acorn's D3 characters with his permission. Turns out, I've successfully merged his characters into my fic universe. As I finished the original Bebimon Saga, I looked back and said to myself, 'I can write better than this.' So, I went into a major overhaul and started all the way back with my originally intended 'Digital Invaders Saga'. That particular saga received rave reviews and that convinced me to rewrite the whole series from top to bottom. Burizalor, Digimon Kaiser, Artificials, Virus, Tamers Unite, Dark Magimon and D-Reaper. All those were rewritten from June 2003 until mid-December 2003. The rewrites turned out better than I expected. The Digimon Fusion series is the one series that has led me to become a recognized and an elite author of that particular anime section. According to Dark Qiviut, I'm one of the top elites. Thanks again, buddy. :D Coming off the success of this series, I was even confident enough to write a crossover series entitled The Wrath of Pharaohmon. Here I thought it wouldn't be a success, but it turns out it did. This particular has no connection with my D-Fusion series, but once again shows I can write a good crossover when need be. I hope to get this series done this summer at the latest. Enter D-Frontier. This is the final season and I've been complimented for writing a BETTER adaptation to the actual DBGT series, eventually to become intertwined with the Yu Yu Hakusho Sensui storyline arc. Can't say whether to be shocked or not. Oh well. The Black Digicores, Bebimon and Super Artificial turned out great, but I wanted to go out with a big with this final saga. The Millenniumon Saga was indeed a success and has garnered the most reviews out of every one of my D-Fusion Sagas. Only the Burizalor Saga Rewrite comes close to reaching such a high number of review counts. Now, you guys have just witnessed the end of an era. The end of the Digimon Fusion series. It's sad I know, but all good things must come to an end. Hell, I'm saddened, too. ;.; The idea all started in August of 2001, the first story was written in early September 2001 before the tragic events of 9/11, the first posted story was in January of 2002, the rewrite overhaul in June 2003 and the final chapter posted April 17, 2005. Not a bad way to end, eh? Nearly four years!
Sep 13, 2005 (Final chapter of YuYuGiDigiMoon: The Wrath of Pharaohmon): To tell you the truth, it was all thanks to my Digimon Fusion series success that gave birth to this series. I seriously wanted to try out a true anime crossover. But it would be one that wasn't a disappointment and TRULY lived up to its name. It looks like I've really pulled it off. I first thought about writing this series as soon as I began my D-Fusion Artificial/Virus and D-Tamers: Unite/Dark Magimon/D-Reaper Rewrites. In fact, some of the most notable of the anime heroes in this series made cameo appearances throughout my D-Fusion: D Tamers series. Once I completed my rewrites, I began to write this series. I didn't expect it to start off big and end with a bang. I was like 'Wow, these guys really like it.' Looks like it worked with great success. I hope that my sequel will do just as good if not BETTER than this series. Even with only 28 chapters planned, I will still write the long 18,000 to 25,000 word chapters (Maybe a few close to 30,000 word chapters). Wish me luck and please send me more reviews. I want it to at least beat the number of reviews this series had and you guys can make it all possible. Tell all of your friends and pen pals about this series. It's a crossover, IMO, done RIGHT!
2006 (Mazoku Huntress - FictionPress): Hello, this is SSJ4Takeru/Kanius the V. I am author of the Digimon epic series, Digimon Fusion, and the hit anime crossover sagas, YuYuGiDigiMoon: The Wrath of Pharaohmon and the recent Invasion of the Rajita. I welcome you to my first original work that I have written for my advanced writing class and hope to publish this into my own novel one day (perhaps even a manga/graphic novel). ;) All of the characters featured here and later in the story belong to me. I am veteran in fanfic writing but this is my first original work. So, please, don't be too harsh and give any constructive criticism if you wish. Anyway, enjoy the story! :D
2008 (Invasion of the Rajita Chapter 27): Really... I have come a long way since the early D-Fusion days in 2002-2003. For those who have read my Digimon Fusion series and the two YuYuGiDigiMoon stories, tell me. Have I gone a long way and improved? It would mean a lot if you told me how I've done as a fanfic writer. I want to continue as an active fanfic writer for another decade and then after that retire for good. Maybe. (A decade has passed (2008 - 2018) that with CG concluded, it's the end of a phase of ending as a full-time fanfic writer, as you're writing your first novel and the new triad as pseudo canon stories. Defiants/YYGDM-01 (and the alternate ending) will return as that one more long-term fanfic story before permanently retiring for good.)
2008 (YYGDM Gaiden first chapter): That is if I don't exhaust all of my creativity (I'll need it when I write my own novel and start doing art again).
2011 (WoP Redux's first chapter): And with all that comes the curse of becoming a better writer. I look back on YYGDM season 1 and remind myself that there are things I could've improved on. Now, this is my chance. After achieving success with Digimon Fusion Kai (a complete revision of Digimon Fusion based on Dragonball Z Kai), I was convinced by LazerWulf to green light this project. And here we are!
Jan 28, 2014: I really did mean to tell you this during our brief chat tonight, but you were on a limited time. Just want to put this out to you. Not sure if you read up on my DoC A/Ns or check my profile, but I said I was going through some personal issues going on in my life. Well, I finally want to clear the air with you. I still work as a volunteer at a museum three times a week and still going through the process of finding work (still waiting to hear back from a school district). If that's not enough, last September (late-Sept), my mother broke the news to me that she was diagnosed with breast cancer (later revealed to be stage II). It affected me hard and thus why I wasn't able to write a single new DoC Chapter until Dec/Jan. I couldn't focus on a lot of stuff in my work and free time causing me to get sick from the amount of stress I've gone through (got sick to the point where I got the usual seasonal flu plus a nasty stomach flu). The only fics I could find any time to do were collabs with Chaosblazer and two Redux chapters. My moods shifted and I was eating very little. By mid-Nov, my mother had major surgery to remove the cancer tumor and had her right breast reconstructed through a mastectomy. She stayed at the hospital for five days/nights until she came home for recovery. I spent all my free time helping care for my mother (she's thankful for what I've done) and take care of a lot of the house responsibilities. Though I was glad she was home, I hadn't recovered from my stress/anxiety and I often feared if some disease would affect me later in life. My doctors told my mother her cancer apparently isn't hereditary but it was a freak accident with her genetics (doesn't help that what we put in our mouth are an overabundance of overly processed foods that can affect our health plus unknown environmental factors). I mostly have to fear diabetes since that runs on both sides of my family. Of course, I didn't do myself any favors by googling Webmd and those other self-diagnosis sites. Big mistake. Don't ever do this. It will NOT help any! It'll make things worse and that's exactly how I ended up pushing my anxiety/stress levels to new heights. Certainly the cold weather and constant weather patterns made me susceptible to the flu (got sick twice over the past two months). It took me a while to finally recover and regain my normal eating patterns. By mid-Dec, my mother was able to finally walk and drive on all on her own. She's been able to go back to work since then but also to take it easy (major stress from work was also a factor that might've caused her cancer to begin with). I couldn't enjoy Christmas much being sick with the seasonal and stomach flu. But, for my Thanksgiving and Christmas wish, I only ever wanted my mother to kick this cancer's butt and recover to live many more years. I prayed for my mother's survival through surgery and to many years of better health. For 2014, we consider a 'New Beginning' for both of us. I look to get a paying job (or two) while I continue my museum volunteer work and to better myself by getting back on my physical exercises while eating more whole foods (and less processed ones) than before. Here I am writing to you now recovered from the mental and physical anguish I've had to endure. My appetite levels are back to where they were several months ago. My stress/anxiety come and goes, but I'm managing them thanks to probiotics (natural pills that help with my stomach nerves) and some exercise. As evidenced with my recent DoC chapters, I can focus on my writing again. My mother is doing great as we speak. She's taking charge of her life again. She won't need any chemo, which I'm truly thankful for. She has to take medications and will be on watch for the next 7-10 years by her doctors. It's her positive thinking and inner strength (and prayers from others) that helped her fight through this and she's looking to win. I believe in her. I'm going to develop more positive thinking. Though, I've been having problems with my step-dad, who's been extremely moody (which I can't blame him for with all my mother had/has to endure) and I don't want his bad moods to affect my journey to a more positive outlook on life. Also, my step sister and brother apparently cut ties off from most of the family, including my mom (not going into details because they're not worth discussing now). I won't let these setbacks push me off course. There you have it. My own personal saga over the past few months and why I've mostly been private or not as interactive from Oct-Dec. If you wish to leave a prayer for me, my mother, and my family (& friends) who's supported us, you may do so. I leave this on a final note: thank you for your time and I'm sorry for not breaking this news sooner (though, I did tell Belle first hand; so she's mostly aware of what's going on). I didn't know how to break this news to begin with. I went through a lot of emotional turmoil and regret not talking to any of you sooner about my problems. Thanks for the time for reading this if you made it this far. Let's make 2014 a better (or if 2013 was good enough for you then make the new year even better) and promising year for us. Cheers and take care. Sometimes people hide their true feelings behind a smile. It can help some get through hard times, but others are not fortunate and allow depression to take a toll on them. I have suffered depression in life, especially during my mother's recovery from Nov-Dec. We do set a lot of goals for ourselves we hope to achieve before our time comes and we pass on. Sometimes we get to accomplish all we can. We just gotta take good care of ourselves and not overachieve. Of course, positive thinking is the right step in any direction you take and good for one's health.
December 23, 2014 (Email): You might be interested to know that The West Coasters won't have the 'call out your attacks' trope. It's an experiment I'm going to try. The trope may be minimized in Neos United. If it works, I may apply it to the future stories, but no guarantees. Nothing can be done for D-Reaper's Fury though. After DoC, the series have more compacted storytelling. I might be going for a more American Action cartoon approach (less 'calling out attack names', shorter chapter counts, less shonen lengths). Though, Defiants might turn into more of a mini-season than a movie. Lazer believes it'll likely become a season, but I told him I'm not going for another long season again (besides D-Reaper's Fury and CG, but the latter is already as short as we can make it). The main reason it could be long is because it'll have the largest roster of heroes in any YYGDM story, especially adding the Valkyrie Maidens, Neo teams, and West Coasters into the mix. (It's a response that Defiants/YYGDM-01 returns back to the Calling Out Attacks)
2016 (Shinnen:New Year final chapter review): I still intend to continue writing fics for a while longer. I'll find ways to balance my eventual novel writing and fic writing. Somehow I'll try and balance them out. (Looking back, it becomes harder than you thought as you get older, especially juggling a lot of stories in 2021)
2016 (D-Reaper's Fury's final chapter): The launch of this story pretty much marked the start of what my friend/collab partner, Ford1114, labeled the 'The Recreational Years'. This fic has pretty much helped to hone my writing skills better. I don't want to toot my own horn, but I think I've hit my peak as a fanfic writer and am looking to venture out to prepare my plans for my own published works (using a few of my own O.C.s and repackaging them). Well, that's my plan. There's still unfinished business with my remaining fanfic works. So while my fanfic writing activity might dwindle (especially if my planned original works somehow pick up), I don't plan to stop until the fics I want to finish get their conclusions. And most importantly as long as my passion is still there (as long as I don't burn myself out like I did with certain parts of Dawn of Chaos and a little of Shinnen). I'll go as however long as I can (I mean, if the likes of Team Four Star can keep going pumping out their content, why should I stop altogether?) I hope this revision allowed me to improve my writing skills. From this point on, I want to do less adaptations (Ress B and what little DB stuff left to adapt notwithstanding) and my own stories (fanfics and original writings). Hopefully, I'll get to do that with most of Cross Generations, Valkyrie Advent, and future fictions.
2016 (Cross Generations first chapter): For those that care, for this to be my final DFK story, it has come full circle. I started my whole Digimon Fusion reboot back in 2010 and it's 2018 now. This decade I've grown as a person and a writer. I'm already transitioning into the real world, and sooner than later I'll be less active in fanfic writing (I'm already in process of writing my first novel!). I've enjoyed my long labors of building the DFK and YYGDM universes. But, now with The West Coasters complete, I'm looking at possibly taking my favorite and best OCs and incorporating them in a universe that's not totally restricted by canon rules. I wish to one day expand on that. I wish to transition to a fictional writer than just being a fanfic one. So, who knows, West Coasters might be a precursor to that career. And with that said, CG will be one of my last major fanfics as I transition into fictional writing and the real world.
2016 (The West Coasters final chapter): Something to get out of the way, The West Coasters proved to be one of the most challenging stories I've ever had to write. That's also why it took long for chapters to be released. Since WC was essentially an original story and does not include any of the canon YYGDM characters, I treated it as if I were writing an original novel. So having done this, TWC may have become a backdoor pilot for an idea of my first novel. I do have ideas in mind and perhaps something I want to do one day.
2017 (Valkyrie Homecoming Segment 8): I'm preparing for the first stages of transitioning into being an official author. Writing is not only the second-part of my double major, but it's become my passion. I feel I've gained sound advice from my collabs/beta-writers and experience to begin writing my first novel. As we speak, I've already started to outline and create my characters, but not without help. Granted, most of these characters are just simple rehashes of my OCs and others are based on my collaborators' OC characters. There will be original characters that'll draw inspiration from real life people I know and even historical figures. My untitled novel may end up a 3-4 book series with a spin-off book or two. This year, I will begin writing that novel without fail. This may decrease my fanfic writing, but it's a small price to pay. I mean, Max Acorn's already started writing his novel, so I figure why not? And I do thank Ford1114 for inspiring me to push forth with this goal.
2017 (Valkyrie Homecoming Segment 9): I do need to take more self-responsibility. Could it be my own fault for letting too many people influence and try to drive the direction of my fanfics? Possibly. That means I'll really need to be more strict with what goes into my stories. If I don't take more self-responsibility, then I'm letting too many folks walk all over and take advantage of me. That can't happen anymore. It's time I start reevaluating about my writing future. If I wish to pursue a writing career, I'll need to think outside the box and avoid being just a fanfic person. I need to expand my writing horizons. Not to say I'll stop fanfic writing, I still plan to reconstruct and create my own personal canon of my favorite fandoms. I hope to continue fan projects if my writing career does take off, because I consider that part of my identity. Maybe some form of YYGDM will continue, or maybe I'll get involved in a new fandom that inspires new ideas. I wish for my writings to inspire some creative writers to create their own projects or reconstruct their favorite fandoms (much in vein to TeamFourStar). For anyone reading these commentaries, thank you. (Heartwarming in Hindsight foreshadowing: Think outside the box and expand your writing horizons leads to PV/UL and the new triad (AnM/Shin-YYGDM/AnGC) in honing a lot of official writing skills besides almost done writing the debut novel draft. Continue fan projects leads to Ascendancy, Shin-YYGDM and YYGDM-01/Defiants (of being the final overall fanfiction in history and life, alongside its alternate ending storyline) (relating to some form of YYGDM will continue with Shin-YYGDM being a legacy OVA reboot, and Defiants/YYGDM-01 being the series finale of the mainstream continuity), involved in a new fandom that inspires new ideas leads to you getting into the Persona franchise thanks to P5 (remembering what you said that it's something new back in UL's first chapter A/N) alongside others like Code Vein/the crossover characters involvement in final YM event/and all these various crossover works plan to be involved in the fanfic video game. So in a way, all these heartwarming hindsights and life changing experiences are mainly all thanks to me and all the hard work for you with everything paid off and clearly not making this a waste of time/energy.)
2018 (To Chaosblazer in case to remind, and saying this again in Defiants Ch 1 A/N): On the other hand, that'd be your characters that's going to end up fixing everything, rendering my characters (and the canon ones) to look weak and insignificant in comparison. Let's be honest, Slade and the Young Guns can just curbstomp every bad guy we've seen so far and you wouldn't even need the Triad. I know you'd rather Ken just kick Zeed X's ass by himself without effort, but I'm sure you know that'd be anti-climatic since Zeed X is not just his personal enemy, but is an enemy to all. It'd be better if he was beaten by a jointed effort. Well, I'm not sure you know, but I don't plan to do anymore major Triad-style fanfics. Cross Generations is pretty much it. Any crossover in Defiants is relatively minor since the conflict is in YYGDM's dimension. Moreover, after Cross Generations, the only major stories I have left are Defiants and Ascendancy; the latter is mostly retellings and could be where the new Broly adaptation gets written. I'll be starting on a Persona Vein sequel with Ford soon and that exists in its own world. I'm also planning to transition from fanfic writing to official novel writing. Meaning I'm thinking about my writing future and hope to become a content creator. I'm sorta in a crossroads like TFS is at the moment between DBZA and their original content; the latter original content gives them monetary rewards. I intend to do the same with my future novels. Already, I know a fanfic writer (Maxacorn, who btw the created Max Kamiya, the D3s, and Ascendants to begin with) that will be publishing his debut novel online for sell. So, no I sadly won't have time to make anymore 'great stories' for a reunion of sorts. I'm just about ready to move on from writing anymore Triad crossover stories. I've had time to think about giving my honest thoughts on this. I chose a bad day to send that chapter since I was volunteer working today. To be frank, Chaos, it's nothing personal at all. I have no issues with you, except for the constant emailing habits. And I know this has been an issue for a while. My inbox is proof of that. It's easier for me to navigate when I'm reading through a thread made by one of us (me, Ford, Lazer, etc.) because they all use gmail. While Ford said his piece through his A/N, I haven't even written mine yet. Ford just put templates for me in case I needed to speak out and vent. Now, listen to me. My frustrations stems from the fact you constantly have to shove your character down conversations regarding the stories, and this includes plots where he's not even involved (or supposed to be). I think this whole collab thing we've had the past few years have produced great results and I'm not going to call it a failure. This allowed us to form a friendship. We've passed along good, crazy, and somewhat weird ideas. However, there have been a few headaches that came with it. Sadly, we all have to take the good with the bad, especially in collabs. It was all great until I think the Battle of Digital Gods fanfic. I know I had Kensuke guest star in that along with Dimitri, Karin, Athena celebrating with Future Mimi. For some reason, I just had Ken appear in that just to guest star and come visit Tai and co. after the whole Beerusmon thing blew over. But, for some reason just because you didn't like Beerus and his behavior, so you wanted Ken to confront Beerusmon while putting him in his place (whereas Omega X decisively lost his fight). There was also Ken becoming Ascendant God behind the scenes during the D-Reaper conflict and getting it before Tai did. Then, there's Slade and the Young Guns being higher tier than everyone one of my characters (canon and OC), and there couldn't possibly be anyone good or bad that can be on a higher pedestal than them. There's also situations like with Valkyrie Advent where I've adamantly made it clear this was Kotori and her team's story; meaning she gets to fight and defeat Loki & Mist. If Ken's always around to want to fight every major bad guy in my stories, how are other characters like Kotori supposed to grow on their own? Even in the Cornerverse stuff, we couldn't rib/poke fun at Corner!Ken when a character jokingly called him a 'Gary Stu' (which admittedly, that went too far and in hindsight that was stupid of us to include; there are far worse Mary/Gary-Stu characters out there). Then, when Corner!Ken got killed off with with Omega X and Angemon X, you said Slade and co. would've been there to save him. Ok, fair call, but who's taking time out of his free time writing the stories here? Me. I don't have to write anything with my characters, yours, or Ford's if I don't want to. I could've just stopped, but I kept going because I didn't want to leave unfinished work behind. I've already committed that cardinal sin with my Witchblade Sakura and Galaxy Stars fics. Cross Generations went without so much of a hitch until bit when Ken returned with Slade to be confronted by Metalla X and being accused of (accidentally) killing Tike. That had to be scraped because you didn't take too well to it. I thought it was a well-written scene that created tension between characters. That would've been resolved with Ken's redemption and getting to make right by fighting with the others to stop Zeed X. Then, Tike and Ken would've still have their ice cream thing, leading to them forgiving each other. And quite honestly, I thought Ken killing GranDracmon for the last time would've been good enough to satisfy. I mean, he got to kill his first nemesis (and quite honestly Ken should've had the honor of killing his own main villain in our first collab not Tai & Kari). It was during the last stretch of Cross Generations where your demands for Ken were annoying me. You wanted one thing and I wanted another. We had conflicting interests. I almost didn't want to include Jirenmon and Toppomon because it seemed you were just throwing obstacles in there just to make Ken stronger than the other heroes and it was too early to introduce these two. But, I went along. I couldn't possibly pass by including Jiren and Toppo's expies, because I wasn't sure if I was ever going to be my own interpretation of ToP. I took the gamble and things thankfully paid off. I can honestly say the last stretch of Cross Gen was nowhere near as stressful as DoC. I consider Cross Gen a better finale than DoC. The point is, you offer great ideas, but a lot of them fall back on just your Ken Rainer character. And look, I get it. We have our bias toward our characters. We get overprotective of them. However, when it comes to writing Ken lately, it's just been walking on thin ice for me. There's been a lot of things I've written you've liked what I've done for him, but the very rare instances where you've gotten upset. The last thing I want to do is step on anyone's toes. And because of how it's been lately, I'm just ready to cut our collab ties and am ready to move onto other ventures. I want to get my novel off the ground and expand my horizons. Creating more 'great stories' with our Trinity isn't going to help me grow as a content creator and allow me to get out of that stagnant bubble. You might be ok with partnering for more Trinity fics, but I'm not. That's also why when I'm continuing DFK via Ascendant, I'd like to do it without Kensuke, Karin, and Dimitri. Going forward with DFK's future, I'd like to go back to the simpler days before the crossover and Trinity insanity. The Defiants finale will be the last time team-up involving our characters. After that, it's over. And while I appreciate you writing scenes for me, I don't need them for Defiants. Ford isn't even going to write many scenes for me for my Urban Legends fic I'm planning to work on soon. Going forward, I have to write on my own, fix as many of my own mistakes, and work with an editor that can improve my story.
2018 (Cross Generations final chapter): We decided CG's theme would be a celebration of pop culture across generations. In this case, some of our favorite pop cultures like anime, comic books, ancient mythologies (namely Norse), etc, were showcased and celebrated. This was also meant to cherish our favorite pop culture things while coping with the difficulties of real life. So, this fic became a coping mechanism while I was dealing with some real world and health issues. Zeed X ultimately was meant to symbolize the real world trying to destroy the things we cherish. Tai and Agumon's sacrifices was meant to remind their friends (and us readers) that they won't be around forever to resolve everyone's problems. And this epilogue's intention was to show that future generations can be depended on to continue carrying on our cherished pop cultures. Taiga being the next Omega X was meant to show the Ascendant's legacy will live on. So, with the end of this story, this marks the end of not just an era, but a phase. CG would make a great series ender if it not for the whole Christina/Sailor O and Defiants deals. The next phase will be my transition to novel writing, but also starting on new fandoms to write for (Persona 5/Code Vein/Kakegurui/Nioh respectively through Urban Legends and Akane no Mai), showcasing a few more adventures in Ascendancy, and finishing off tired-out longer-runners (Prelude/Wrath of the Defiants). I'm hopeful my novel and UL/AnM will rekindle my writer's passion. It'll be nice to explore new fandoms and create one of my own.
2018 (Kanius Production Timeline): I see my days of fanfic writing winding down a little, but there's still unfinished business with a few fics left. All the while, I am looking into crafting universes of my own novels. Some O.C.s I've used may have a place in my novels and develop into their own characters without restrictions of canon binding them. Now with the 'Final Years' behind me, my fanfic activities should see a decrease while I dwell and work on my first novel. It's ok though; Urban Legends and Akane no Mai will serve to further enhance my authorship skills once I go professional. By the way, I just looked at UltraSonic007's last chapter of Destiny: Gospel of a New Genesis (An Evangelion/Destiny crossover). In his A/Ns, he states it is indeed his swan song and has retired from fanfiction writing with higher priorities to take care in life. Like me on this site, he's written fics since 2001 until 2018 (roughly 17-18 years with some break periods). I'd like to thank him for especially influencing my writing style after reading his stories. I hope one day we can reconnect and possibly discuss our novel works if he has anything to show. LIkewise, I want to thank Max Acorn for allowing me to utilize his Digimon OC characters and concepts for my stories. He's successfully branched off as a novelist and his first book is available for purchase on Amazon. I plan to buy a copy to show my support for my fellow fic writer and friend.
2019 (Urban Legends first chapter): I'm in the process of writing my first professional novel. It was Ford1114 who helped to push me forward with my dream of writing and one day publishing my novel. He's recognized my talents and remembered a statement I made a long time ago that I hoped to be a novel writer. He thinks UL will provide the best platform for me to transition from fanfic writing to professional novel writing. Unlike the fanfics I've written before, I intend to treat this story as I would a professional novel. This undertaking will be an interesting experiment and creative process.
2019 (Invasion of the Rajita Ao3): Geez, in hindsight, I can't believe I grinded out so many long chapters at these ungodly lengths! I don't know what I was thinking! I either must've had a lot of energy in 2005, or had a lot of free time. Don't worry. I don't write at these lengths anymore like used to. I can only do so much and ever write at these lengths occasionally. As usual, I've been revising chapters as I go. It's time consuming, but I want to put out the best versions of these chapters with the best to my ability. Moreover, I want a completely revised Invasion of the Rajita out since there's a lot I've had to clean up. And there's some cringe worthy dialogue I'm not exactly happy with. In the end, I think it'll be worth the time and investment. You readers deserve that. Again, I'm debating if I should post these on as some kind of 'Redux', but I doubt it. The most I'll probably do is replace original versions with the 2019 AO3 revisions and document the changes in brand new A/Ns. But, a part of me doesn't want to be accused of 'revisionist history'.
2019 (Witchblade Sakura discontinued): However, with time, writing fanfics are essentially a hobby. Granted, it's a creative outlet. In fact, writing fanfics has helped me improve my writing craft and I'm still learning while in the process of currently writing an original novel.
2020 (Final YYGDM-01 Gaiden): Over time, I've given YuYuGiDigiMoon a lot of my dedicated free time, which could've been spent on some other leisure things. Granted, that's not to say I haven't committed to other leisure things, but this series has occupied a part of my life. Many of life's obstacles have tried to keep me from seeing this series through to the very end. Perhaps, I created a world too big and dense to oversee, but with the partners that willingly stuck with me and lent me their creative talents, I was able to stay the course and see many of YuYuGiDigiMoon's entries finish. I didn't want to be another one of those fanfic authors who ultimately never finished their stories. I've canceled stories willingly (see Witchblade Sakura and other long deleted stories in the years past). However, YuYuGiDigiMoon is different, because it's stuck with me this long. It became part of my creative identity. And I've wrapped up every story, except the finale yet to be written.
2020 (Urban Legends final chapter): I've had writing experiences outside fanfics and my recent novel progress. I have taken creative writing classes during and after college life. I still have a few of my creative writing projects. I've gotten mixed feedback. Some have enjoyed what I've written. Others were pretty 'critical' with my works, citing being 'anime-like', too long, and at one point my creative writing instructor often cited giving my characters more 'unique voices' (i.e. dialogue, accents and word choices) so they can stand out more. Somehow, I let my fanfic side take over and run wild, so I've had to adjust and revise my creative writing papers. Now, several years since then, I'm having to let go of my fanfic writing tendencies while I'm writing my first novel draft. I plan to take these criticisms to heart and apply them to my novel. Creatively, before Urban Legends was conceptualized, I had no chance of exploring new things outside of YuYuGiDigiMoon and Digimon Fusion Kai. That's when the bug of writing a professional novel struck me in 2017. Before, I had considered writing a book, but personal hurdles got in the way and creative differences involving the production of my previous fanfics dampened my enthusiasm for writing a novel. It finally took Allfather-Ford to convince me to try an official work. That's when I decided enough was enough and it was time to step out of my comfort zone. Unfortunately, unforeseen obstacles, including Chaosblazer's irksome email spamming, prevented me from responding to Ford's 2017 novel-based emails. Once again, I was being dragged down to help write Kensuke and Accel Stream-related scenes, including the Beerusmon/Houou Gaiden. In hindsight, I should've been more open with Chaos and declined helping him since I wanted to focus on kickstarting my novel career path. His constant email badgering and my reluctance to refuse were both responsible for delaying the novel emails for months. I remember telling Ford in our emails about "Life is being an ass." and "It's my damn fault, too, I'm sorry about this. I'm not perfect." After I wrongfully took my frustrations out on Ford, I apologized with a heavy heart to Ford about the delayed emails. Unfortunately, Ford was introduced to my nastier and darker side and since then I've had to keep my temper in check. I've had to come to terms with my inherent flaws including arrogance, selfishness, and fanfic pride. I've had to cope and admit to these flaws that I need to overcome. First off, overcoming my fanfic pride was important if I'm going to become a professional novel writer. In order to transition into professional writing, I couldn't be that arrogant fanfic writer who thinks my crossover stories are the greatest things since sliced bread! I realize that I can't keep writing the same crossover stories for the rest of my life. People change and move on. Even content creators, including other fanfic writers, have moved on and don't remain in the same stagnant bubble. Being stagnant leads to complacency. I ultimately came to terms that I couldn't keep writing multi-crossovers that won't gain a following. It was also time for me to step out of my comfort zone and cross into other creative outlets. I was ready to break that fanfic curse (otherwise known as YYGDM-01 and the Triad) and move on. I was ready to humble myself if need be to move away from the crossovers I once enjoyed writing for 15+ years. I was ready to be fucking free and seek a new creative direction in my life with humility. As hard as it is to make changes in your life, they can be necessary. Artists should always strive to change course and find ways to refresh their creativity. I hope becoming a professional novel writer can provide me with that chance to expand my creativity energies. It was time for a creative change. And as of this writing, I'm halfway through my first novel draft. These next few months will give me some time to reflect on how I'm going to save up to hire an artist to do the cover art for my first novel and the marketing (and avoiding scammers who might try to profit off my official work). But, the important thing to do first is complete that damned first draft. With UL done, I can relieve myself from fanfic writing for the rest of 2020.
2020 (Urban Legends Final Chapter of once again being repeated relating to YYGDM): If I had never taken the opportunity to write Urban Legends, the Cornerverse (especially Shinnen), and the final draft of Cross Generations that contributed to the steps to me becoming a professional writer with Allfather-Ford, I often wondered where I'd be now. I wonder where I'd be if I was stuck writing stories like YuYuGIDigiMoon without any new directions. Here's an excerpt I've reflected on: "I can only imagine this 'what-if' scenario. A lot of things would be different. CG (Cross Generations) would not exist as it is in its current form. No Cornerverse means no chance to explore other fandoms and characters outside YYGDM (YuYuGiDigiMoon) and DFK (Digimon Fusion Kai). DFK would end a lot sooner with CG possibly being some kind of (Dragon Ball)GT/Super hybrid with no dimension crossing arcs. With DFK done sooner, I'd still be stuck writing YYGDM like it was some long running shonen story. And possibly no chance to expand and take a risk like writing an official novel.)" If not for some changes in my writing life, I'd be writing the same fanfic stories without any chance of expanding my horizons and not getting my foot into the door of professional writing.
2021 (Discord): Sometimes I do get a tad overprotective on things I've worked hard on writing and creating. I do take great pride in what I work in and sometimes I know I have to take dirt getting kicked in my face. But, oh well, 'it happens'. Maybe I shouldn't get too passionate over works I'm proud of. I've always known I can't please everyone (and as an upcoming novelist I should know that), but sometimes my pride compels me to protect the stuff I worked hard on the most (or enjoy the most). I've had criticisms on stories I've written. Most of the time, it was no skin off my back, but those few times... yeah… That's about the best we can do. I need to better control myself around those very few harsh reviews and remarks. I'm glad to see another point of view.
2021 (Discord): I'm not being wholly negative, I've accepted that many readers have moved on to other things and that happens a lot with long running stories. If I get any old readers back or new ones for the final YYGDM-01 story, that's great. But I'm at the acceptance stage now.
2021 (Discord): I just feel like I'm the only writer here that gets his stuff criticized for whatever reason (and I already addressed the summarized scenes which I'm not going to readdress again). Like I'm being singled out. That's where my anxiety comes from. I've written stories for a long time. So I should be used to praise and criticism by now. I'll try not to dwell too much on this. Addendum: Sadly, that wasn't the case. I did dwell on this all along and vented my problems on Discord and in private. Two individuals, one of them named Darth Necron, showed little concern for my issues and continued criticizing my works and only my works. I honestly do feel like I'm being singled out and targeted for criticism toward my writing and no one else on the discord ever gets criticized for anything they write, which I feel is bullshit and think there's too much sucking up. I'm sick and tired of being treated like this and being singled out just to be a punching bag.
2021 (Discord): It's no secret that I wanted a break from YYGDM-01. I took a year long break between DoC's end and the start of the Apophis arc. Then, Valkyrie Advent happened and a few creative differences made me sour. Ultimately, I stuck with it and went ahead with Cross Generations. Deciding on a break from YYGDM fanfics after Cross Gen was the best choice I made. The last pure (non-crossover/Triad/Shin reboot) YYGDM chapter I wrote was the final Gaiden chapter and that was in Feb 2020. That was a whole month before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the world to shut down. And going further than that, the last non-Triad YYGDM fanfic I wrote was Valkyrie Advent, and that was finished in mid-2018. Later that same year, Cross Generations ended.
2022 (Akane no Guilty Crown Chapter X): I knew if I'm going to be a professional writer, I endure critical (and harsh) criticisms toward my work. Every writer endures it. It's up to us whether we acknowledge the criticisms or not. So, to those who sent their criticisms: Thank you but I'll decide which ones I'll address. Oftentimes there'll be some 'critics' who'll want to help you write your story and then one uses their ideas, which in the long run would no longer be the author's true vision anymore. Although, I am concerned that no matter what criticisms I address, will those same people even bother checking out and reviewing the later chapters? I don't know about you but that feels like a writer wasted their efforts fixing the issues but those same critics don't bother coming back or even leaving a 'thank you'. For my newer readers, I'm not pointing fingers toward you since we barely know each other. However, I've had a select few long-time readers who've criticized my writings, which is fine and fair, but occasionally at least two of them repay me with snarky-ass and trollish comments that rub me the wrong way and stubborn cynicism that's outright irksome. And recently, I've had certain individuals (not pointing any names) who've been tone deaf when I addressed my anxiety issues/mental health in response to their criticisms. Barely any acknowledgment of my issues, and just singling me out as they continue praising each other's works while leaving me in the dust. Despite their attitudes, I'm not going to let them impede this and any other stories I've crafted. I feel like it'd be disingenuous to stop writing this fic since I feel like I owe Allfather-Ford this after all he's done for me.
YuYuGiDigiMoon: Wrath of the Defiants Development/Concept Outline:
Yes, this is the surprise I mentioned earlier. Now, the moment you've been waiting for. With The Defiant Chaos completed, I can use this A/N to reveal the unmarked and leaked spoilers for YYGDM-01's Wrath of the Defiants fic and show the differences between it and Shin-YYGDM's final arc. This won't be just spoilers but a near-complete outline (with planned ideas and story not fully conceived and greenlit). Since the future is uncertain for me, especially if my writing career takes off, this is a final chance to reveal my plans for YYGDM-01's final story as it falls into development hell/indefinite hiatus. This will include how YYGDM-01's Wrath of the Defiants was first developed as a series finale. Moreover, there will be callbacks from old forums in the 2000s when I mentioned Defiants. I will also reveal concepts and commentaries that my other collaborators, including LazerWulf, Allfather-Ford, and Chaosblazer, suggested for Defiants' development.
This entire Defiants/YYGDM-01 & Shin-YYGDM Defiants differences and the full story/spoiler Defiant outline will also be posted in two parts on Discord.
First off, allow me to give credit to Lycosyncer, a long-time reader/follower of my YYGDM stories who sadly hasn't been around much, for suggesting I use Cain Bearer for my YYGDM stories. Here's what you didn't know: Cain Bearer made his debut in my Sailor Moon: Galaxy Stars fanfic.
Without further ado, let's begin the unraveling of the Wrath of Development Hell… oh, I'm sorry. I mean, Wrath of the Defiants.
How is Wrath of the Defiants first conceptualized/thought off in the 2000s (such as old forum threads like the mention of this old OC named Aeryk, what specific year did you first thought of Defiants) besides Cain, CainCorp, and the SOUJA originally from Galaxy Stars added to YYGDM-01 in detailed development/development hell history:
–LazerWulf's words in Discord DM: To my recollection, I think the most I've actually done for the Defiants story is help K brainstorm the powers for the Defiants that would fight the Digimon teams, but I don't remember what exactly was settled on.
-My words: I first conceived ideas for a 'Defiants' arc in the late-2000s (roughly 2009) based on Lycosyncer's concepts. He suggested a concept where heroes are placed in a dilemma if humanity were turned against them through lies and manipulation. He viewed my Cain character as a 'Well-Intentioned Extremist', and he'd be the one who'd resist the idea of a peaceful utopia that made everyone accept it with no resistance and coerced the world governments to give up all of their political power to Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion. He even thought that Cain could be the 'Lelouch' of the YYGDM series. As for this old OC named Aeryk, I don't remember that character well at all.
Cross Generations's summary to compare: The series finale of Digimon Fusion Kai. When anomalies disrupt the ether universe known as the Nexus, generations of heroes from various dimensions converge for a new adventure and to find out the source of this new threat. An Ascendant and his friends also receive unexpected aid from a pink-haired Puella girl and her Lost Kingdom companions.
YuYuGiDigiMoon: Wrath of the Defiants's summary: The series finale of YuYuGiDigiMoon and the final fandom story in life. It is the end of the full-time fanfiction road for me and when I move forward to a full-time professional writing career. The end of YuYuGiDigiMoon is here and nothing will ever be the same.
Key moments that will happen in YYGDM-01 Defiants: An attack on Legend HQ. An explosion erupted inside, alarming the YYGDM leaders and their colleagues. An army of Defiants and unnamed Metas storming into Legend HQ. Some soldiers are seen utilizing some devices enabling them to transform into Duel Monsters. New SOUJA models are activated and sent to attack the heroes outside Legend HQ. Captured test subjects, Metas, Duel Monsters, Digimon, and some of the surviving Neo Rajita, are shown sealed in stasis capsules. Igasu and the Blood Senshi assemble somewhere to confront the heroes. A shot of a young girl touching a chamber and opening up, revealing a sleeping figure. The sleeping figure, Kensuke Rainer, opens his eyes. A giant box jellyfish-like creature is then seen facing the Kuipers and Sailor O. A transport ship comes out of a dimensional portal and coming out of it was Aya/Angelia, the new head of the Arcadian Cross.
Here's my words back in a related Defiants mega thread: I do like the idea of the cold opening being a reflection of Cain's life and his descent. I think the first chapter should be calm and low key. But there can also be an eerie calmness if that makes sense. Keep in mind this roughly 6-7 months since Cross Generations and that event will have repercussions for the heroes (some will heal better than others; but the ones who haven't gotten over it will show some form of PTSD). After all, the final battle Zeed X was an omniversal-scaled event that could've been the end for all of them and the other universes. The majority of the bad guy activities on Earth will have been Metas (not counting the Digital and Spirit/Makai Worlds).
My words from Defiants mega thread: Anyway, I digress. To recap, here are a few basic notes (and some updated plans):
-Xros Wars group will be limited to Taiki, Kiriha, Nene, and the Digimon.
-DATS will be limited to Marcus and Agumon. Both will be brought from their Earth dimension.
-The Zexal continuity in YYGDM: Lazer planned to have Kaiba invent the Xyz-summon and Duel-Gazers technology. Most of the Zexal would be kinda concurrent with YYGDM's continuity. WotD would fall roughly between Zexal and Zexal II. However, I've decided the Zexal characters will not be involved. They may get a passing mention.
-Arc-V is a separate dimension like Xros Wars but unlike Xros Wars they will not be involved in the Defiants.
-Isolde (Isa for short) and Marsha are now confirmed names for Desert Haumea (Tristan and Vivian/Sailor Haumea's daughter) and Spectral Makemake (Duke and Miho/Sailor Makemake's daughter).
-While the JOEs (Jewels of Eternity) play a role in Defiants, they won't to the extent they did in TWC/NU/AR. They won't be MacGuffins. So Yami Ghidorah may not need them.
-Yami Ghidorah may end up assimilating other villains in YYGDM and possibly DFK (Digimon Fusion Kai). He is essentially the final boss (not counting the epilogue chapter).
-Defiants will start off calm and low key until the events snowball into something larger and grander in the finale. This is to give the heroes (and readers) a bit of a breather after the omniversal-scaled battle with Zeed X in CG.
-Chaosblazer is going to write scenes for Defiants such as the duels, but this time, they are not going to be revised by me (because that'll waste my time/energy since I'll be prioritizing my novels) and they are going to remain unaltered, unlike past fanfics and CG.
We then went into a discussion of the heroes' internal conflicts (and dealing with PTSD from the CG fallout) dealing with human opposition. Dealing with Metas is one thing, but now they find themselves squaring off against humans, which is not what they're used to. It may even come to the point where some of the heroes actually sympathize with the Defiant POV. Although they won't go out and join them. There's just reluctance to fight against them.
-Only all retro and old school/old school anime music (that includes Yashahime since it's a sequel to Inuyasha and why the first song used in YYGDM-01 is an Inuyasha song in WoP Redux, alongside X-Men '97 since its a sequel of X-Men: The Animated Series) is used in YYGDM-01's Defiants, no modernized scores. This idea was conceived by Allfather-Ford, and to which my response was: "Jesus, you really are wanting this thing to be a time capsule of itself. You're not making it easy for me. I get why though, Defiants is supposed to be retro. So using modernized scores wouldn't be suitable for it."
-Zagato's role in Defiants/YYGDM-01 is similar to Lordgenome. However, Gurren Lagann OST/music is not going to be used in Defiants/YYGDM-01 since Gurren Lagann's message and especially the final episode is about moving forward to a better tomorrow, while Defiants/YYGDM-01 does not relate to the heroes refusing to move forward.
-For the Shin-YYGDM cast's scenes in Defiants/YYGDM-01's climax, music used for the Stars/Shadow Galactica arc that Crystal/Eternal will adapt as one more arc left will be used as specific exceptions (To give a big contrast for the YYGDM-01 cast/scenes using retro/old school anime music). Likewise, other specific exceptions are DF-616's scenes in their native universe (DF-616) only before they travel to the YYGDM-01 dimension, once they're in the YYGDM-01 dimension is where the old school/retro music resumes.
-BOLD/CAPITALIZED/ITALICS dialogue (For DF-616 characters and characters in other works outside of YYGDM-01) is rebooted back to BOLD/CAPITALIZED dialogue like in the original WoP for YYGDM-01 characters only.
-Bold/italics sections of locations/timestamps/timezones (alongside chapter titles, certain dialogue, song names, and calling out attacks (Which only the YYGDM-01 characters and Kensuke yell out their Calling Out Attacks)) are retrauxed back to simply Bold like in the original WoP. DF-616 dimension scenes of locations/timestamps/timezones/attacks/techniques/dialogue remain bold/italics to give the contrasts of my improve/mature self/writing (Works outside of YYGDM-01) and my younger past self/writing (YYGDM-01 only). There are no Japanese letters in location sections for YYGDM-01 only, unlike works outside of YYGDM-01.
-Defiants in YYGDM-01 will have this 'XxxXxxX' in representing the apex dimension (The XxxXxxX reminds of a crown like the apex ruler of the fanfic omniverse), relating to Defiants having an old school anime/retro-feeling, and omniversal disclaimer for YYGDM-01's Defiants, and the numerical meanings of seven (seven xs) and three (three capital Xs) throughout all the fanfics in history such as Triad and YYGDM-01 stories. DF-616 dimension scenes retain the horizontal line to give the contrasts of my improve/mature self/writing (Works outside of YYGDM-01) and my younger past self/writing (YYGDM-01 only).
LazerWulf's planned discussions relating to the build-up to the Defiants and Cain's connection with the Defiants:
(Lazer's e-mail back in Defiants mega thread:
Cain:
-Working with Neuromancer (Reality Jewel)
-Has Power Jewel
-collecting Metas
-Rogues from WC (minus Playdate)
-Metacriminals from Policeman's Ball
-Inferno (White Wolf's Tale)
-Recreating original Staff of Apophis powers
-Rex, Weevil, Keith, Zealoss, Grapplo, Dragoon, Lady Psyren
-Create Digimon with Human Form (Inverse BioHybrid, like Mizuno and Brimstone)
-Cain's Endgame? Wants to create a world free of powered and supernatural beings
-Using Metas to defeat Metas, but has a "kill switch" to force his Metas into submission (which he plans to activate anyway once all the other metas are dead)
-Wants to sever the Digital Realm from Earth (like how the West DR was severed after the X-Virus outbreak)
-Goal for Spirit Realm/Makai?)
(My discussion with Lazer: So, far yeah that's what we've discussed and planned for WotD. As for Cain's connection to the Spirit World/Makai, remember those Anti-Demon fanatics I proposed? The ones who were the antagonists in the last spirit detective case before the YYH manga's ending? Someone within Spirit World (doesn't have to be a known character) tips them off. Or, they catch someone who has access to Spirit World. The fanatics take Koenma and Spirit World hostage while threatening with some reality warping bomb.
-I said I would give full Defiant spoilers. Well, I'm here to reveal all of the unmark spoiler chapter titles of what I have planned for the story and characters. Concerning this, I said in my final Gaiden chapter: "a few chapters full of summarized events and just a handful of written dialogue scenes, Essentially, you're looking at a few OVA-styled chapters." So, my collaborator Allfather-Ford suggested I make a total of seven OVA-styled chapters that culminate in a seven-theme. This also depends on how LazerWulf feels about summarized sections and if he's willing to commit to picking what scenes can be told in dialogue or summarized. Of course, there's going to be Darth Necron's assumption that Defiants won't have summarized sections, well, sorry you're wrong. This Defiants outline and story confirms that there will be summarized sections. If you don't like it, too bad. Deal with it. I'm not backtracking on my plans. In helping out, Defiants/YYGDM-01's chapter roster might have a total of seven OVA-styled chapters culminating in the seven-themed in my fanfictions.
In regards to the Defiant chapter titles, they will only be bold, they will no longer be bold and italicized, which is purposefully done by design by going back to the roots of the original Wrath of Pharaohmon's format when it was first written and formatted. The chapter titles won't be labeled 'Chapter 1: (title name)' but rather 'name of the chapter title'.
From Chapter 2 onwards following Akane no Mai's completion, only one OVA chapter can be released only once per year. There might even be years when there won't be any Defiants chapter updates, which will happen first after Defiants Chapter 1 is released until Akane no Mai is completed. This is done as I'm sure I'll be busy writing my other novels. The first Defiants chapter will be released on November 30, 2023, marking two decades since the first YYGDM story, Wrath of Pharaohmon was posted and a full two decades since November 2003. I've only grown wiser since then. During the time frame when YYGDM-01/Defiants is out, a fanfic video game will be written (and be finalized after the OVA chapter with Yami Ghidorah and his final defeat is uploaded) in 2026 (and it's possible that it can begin at the start of that year).
All of the Defiant chapter titles are planned to have exclamation marks like the original YYGDM Season Trilogy in a bookend fashion of going back to the series' 'old school battle shonen' roots. Chapters are not split into smaller parts unlike Shin-YYGDM's Arc II and Final Arc.
Chapter 1's title: The Coming of the Defiants! A New Danger is Imminent! (Shows a cold opening with Cain (YYGDM-01) and his paranoia, alongside recapping old scenes like Ford's crying, setting the darker tone of the story becomes more grounded of not just a 'back to basics' after CG, but the stagnant bitterness of the YYGDM-01 heroes refusing to move forward. After Shin-YYGDM's completion, alongside the other new triad stories (AnGC and AnM), I will return to YYGDM-01 and long-term fanfic writing. Prelude of the Defiants.)
Chapter 2's title: Fracturing Public Trust! The Road to a Defiant War! (Second half of the Prelude of the Defiants, the last scenes kick start the war.)
Chapter 3's title: The Day of Reckoning Is Upon Us! The Defiant War Erupts! (The Defiant War)
Chapter 4's title: The Man Behind the Defiants, Cain Bearer, and The True Villain Mastermind Behind the Curtain Unveiled! (Second half of the Defiant War leading to the showdown with Cain (YYGDM-01), the last scene shows the return of Kaiser Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) after at one point possessing Apophis and rising to become Yami Ghidorah.)
Chapter 5's title: The Rise of Yami Ghidorah! The Climatic Day of Destiny! (Yami Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) and the climax.)
In-between is the fanfic video game and YYGDM-01's alternate ending. The chapter title for this will be kept under wraps until Wrath of Defiants' fifth chapter is posted. Anything else about this alternate ending will be completely kept classified. The only hint you're getting is, "What if Ghidorah won and Takato failed to tamper with the Source on time?" This also relates to the Overseer showing Takato these alternate events of what happens if YYGDM-01 refuses to move forward, and this is in response to some people who are interested in speculating what this alternate ending could be. It will be many years before these alternate events will be shown in full and surprise readers.
Chapter 6's title: The End of the Heroes' Journey! The Crystal Age Finally Arrives! (Celebrations and the global depower, leading to the rise of Neo-Crystal Tokyo)
Final Chapter's title: The Crystal Age! The Final Curtain of the Heroes! (Neo-Crystal Tokyo, the Taiyoukai War, the Sailor Wars, and the ending)
-Wrath of the Defiants will be categorized as fully Anime X-overs (a bookend categorization of the original WoP and Invasion of Rajita), and with characters mention as Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Sailor Moon, and Yusuke.
-What is the Genre of Wrath of the Defiants/YYGDM-01? The answer is: There will be no 'Adventure' genre categorized for this story unlike past stories. The genre of Defiants/YYGDM-01 is both Angst & Hurt/Comfort (the first and only time this genre is used). There is no usual Adventure (unlike DF Millenniummon Saga and Cross Gen as series finales) and Drama this time. Reasons for this: because there won't be typical adventures (not even using the Supernatural and Sci-Fi genres) from YYGDM-01 and Triad involvement in relating to the darker tone. The Hurt/Comfort relates to the heroes refusing to move forward and better help deconstruct all the YYGDM-01/Battle Shonen-related tropes.
—At one point, because of the different darker tone unlike DF/DFKai, and similar to how Samurai Jack transitioned from a kids show to a T-rated for the final season (alongside Young Justice goes from a kids borderline t-teen feel to a t-rated borderline m-mature in the third season onward), Defiants/YYGDM-01 can transition into an M-rating relating to those growing up with YYGDM for older audiences (and allowing sex scenes shown on screen, including a Sailor Moon MOTW orgy in the Crystal Age, alongside some very dark and disturbing scenes that provide new waves of terror even veteran fans of the series weren't prepared for.). Although, I can't say for certain if the orgy will stick since there was a negative response to Shin-YYGDM Arc II's sex scenes, which will quickly removed since readers still want to see the same battle Shonen 'Nakama bs' in Defiants/YYGDM-01.
-(My response to Allfather-Ford during our Defiant discussions: I have to respond to this. I hope you're not suggesting I regress this so much it becomes something akin to a Zack Snyder DCEU film. That would be going too far. Look, I get we're going for the 'nothing is ever the same again' theme but I don't want things to be too dour and 'dark for the sake of it'. The angst has to mean something. I wouldn't want to make characters unlikeable (Sailor O is obviously one of the exceptions) despite the refusal to move forward. No, I'm not going to integrate a 'jar of piss' just for the 'lulz'. Plus, who says Orcus has to have full happiness after the ordeal with her father is put behind her? You do remember she still has her 'Sailor O' persona to conquer next, right? That apparently happens in the future after the Defiants conflict. Remember, I have the final say-so on ideas.)
-Remember the (PREVIEW) section of the characters' dialogues leading to the next chapter? They are going to make their return in Defiants/YYGDM-01 since DoC ended, only this time, these for the series finale give a darker solemn, sorrowful edge for the YYGDM-01 characters, even the preview for the final/epilogue chapter of Defiants (and YYGDM-01 as a whole, alongside fanfictions as a whole) gives a bittersweet tone.
-This story has Omniversal Disclaimer: instead of Disclaimer/Multiversal Disclaimer:
-In my ANs, there will be no 'Send a review and see you soon', 'You'll just have to wait and see' comments and related foreshadowing fanfic surprises dialogues.
-There may be a few hero deaths. This is unconfirmed. To continue the 'Nothing is the Same Anymore' theme following Cross Generations (And with no more 'present day' stories planned after Defiants), it's ok if a few characters are written out temporarily and/or permanently. Some will be OCs, but I am considering a few canon character deaths. (Ford's reply: Oh man, there's also going to be canon character deaths besides OCs.) (My response: Correct. I'm still determining characters to send off, but their deaths need to have meaning/purpose to drive the conflict and story. I don't want meaningless deaths just for the sake of it or for cheap shock factors.) Who's going to die during the Defiants conflict?(K's reveal list of heroes and known characters: Rei's grandfather, Yuuichirou, Grace Groves, Mika Hayashi, Hayata Harusame, Chaos Magician Girl, Weevil Underwood, Jaarin Wong (Water Spirits will be temporarily used by Izumi/Fairymon until Jaarin is revived), Mai Valentine (cards temporarily used by Joey until Mai is revived) (Ford's offer: Mai should be killed by Bandit Keith, prompting Joey to be furiously personal towards him and much AU worse off (alongside a bookend of Joey/Mai's roles back in Rajita) than in Duelist Kingdom), Jeri Katou (by Yami KazeByakkomon when Jeri saves Himura; Felinismon and Leomon help Himura take down the Beast Demon General), Kazu Shioda (saves Kiyoko and Guardromon from SOUJA units' lasers), Yamaki Mitsuo & his HYPNOS team (killed during Yami Ghidorah's rampage), Nick Banks/Surgebinder.
-Ford's proposal: The A/Ns are renamed as Kanius's Uncut/Uncensored/Honest/Frank A/Ns relating to being the final fanfiction and no filtered dialogue this time.
-Remembering Zeed X's A/Ns (and Neo Grimhilde's), Defiants A/Ns in all chapters will also include selected characters venting their frustrations and anger (alongside interacting with us), since their experience with the Source in CG, these selected characters relating to their importance now gain the ability to use their A/Ns relating to being the final fanfiction: Takato (due to being the all-important hero, especially he'll meet the Overseer), Sailor Moon/Sailor Cosmos (due to being the big good and becoming Cosmos two more times), Sailor Sedna (due to her importance of dimension travel), Sailor Venus (due to being Japan's first superhero), Sailor O (due to her furious cynicism and embodiment of hate against the world, and looking forward to see her whiny selfish bratty anger towards us (such as saying STFU in bold/capitalize wording), including me that makes her suffer a lot), and Yami Ghidorah (due to his crucial role in the climax as the final enemy of YYGDM-01's story before Neo-Crystal Tokyo, alongside he'll finally get the chance to tamper with the Source that Zeed X failed to do. Unlike Zeed X makes A/Ns disappear like Thanos snap, Yami Ghidorah's will be infinitely worse by causing an infinite black wildfire by burning down A/Ns and breaching fanfiction profiles and real-life fabrics).
Originally Planned Ideas for Wrath of the Defiants and other YuYuGiDigiMoon Stories
-Tenchi Universe was originally intended to be part of YuYuGiDigiMoon instead of Yu Yu Hakusho. Even the Ora Guardians are nods to the Choushin from Tenchi Muyo! Imagine how different YYGDM would've been with no YYH? There would've been more space battles and the Rajita Empire would've been a common enemy for Silver Millennium and the Jurai Empire. There also would've been lots of shenanigans between the Sailor Senshi and the Tenchi crew. Ultimately, I made the right decision with YYH and I don't regret it. It helped that I became a big YYH fan when it premiered here in the states.
-Wrath of the Defiants was originally going to be a full-fledged 'Season' in the vein of YYGDM's Season Trilogy (Wrath of Pharaohmon/Redux, The Invasion of the Rajita, and Dawn of Chaos). However, that gradually changed over time as my workload increased (in my jobs and other writing projects) and my free time became scarce. And once my YYGDM burnout kicked in, I settled on committing to this seven OVA-styled chapter format. Now that I've gotten accustomed to mixing dialogue and non-dialogue summarized sections, this alleviates my stress and makes it easier to commit to Defiants than before.
-While not related to Wrath of the Defiants, I've had plans changed for pre-Defiants YYGDM stories. This one relates to Dawn of Chaos: "I would've combined segments (based on a specific group) and divided them into their own arcs instead of spreading them out. Agreed, I would've given Millenniummon equal time and be an equal partner to Charon. Because I did build up the 'Prophet' to be a Big Bad since Wrath of Pharaohmon. Out of all the arcs in DoC, the Demon Priest/Arago story was the most straightforward one. I'd still have done 60ish chapters, but the chapter lengths would be shorter than what they turned out to be. Also Valmarmon and Granasmon's concepts in hindsight have become somewhat dated, that by DoC Valmarmon was displaced as the potential Big Bad in favor of the Paradais duo. Also, Professor Frank probably wasn't the ideal villain to oppose the Duelists, but at the time, 5D's wasn't finished and Z-One was not yet introduced. Rex Goodwin/Godwin was gone by that point. So, me and Lazer only had little to work with. I don't know if I would've given the Planetary Senshi their Dai-Valkyrie forms sooner than I did, because they were originally meant to remain as Ninja Senshi until midway into DoC (allowing them to fight smarter than harder with guerilla-like tactics) by Day 4 or 5 where they gain their Dai-Valkyrie armors to fight the Neo-Rajita generals with and then fight Gamera & the Paradais Duo like planned. In hindsight, I would've cut back on most of the Neo-Rajita flunkies."
Chapter 1 Outline/Spoilers: Recap of Prior Events; Prelude to the Defiant War, Part 1
-Defiants starts with a prologue/cold opening with Cain recounting his outlook on superheroes and other superpowered beings, and what caused him to steer from praising them to despising them. Unlike Cain (Shin-YYGDM), Cain's dialogue will have an unhinged tone and pettiness.
-The SOUJA Core (operating like Brainiac/Sentinel Prime) will end up manipulating and taking advantage of Cain's paranoid state. When his Defiant forces start falling, Cain merges with SOUJA Core in a last act of desperation. It's revealed there's something else manipulating the SOUJA Core and making it seduce Cain (spoiler: it's Yami Ghidorah).
-The first chapter reshows/recaps Ford's crying back in Cross Generations Chapter 29 of YYGDM-01.
-Defiants/YYGDM-01 will recap the Prelude of the Defiants and Sins of a Father Gaidens, alongside the final Gaiden chapter.
-Some ideas may be scrapped whenever I decide to write Defiants. I don't expect everything in this outline to materialize in the final cut.
Aftermath of Cross Generations and the consequences of Zeed X's actions:
-Shortly after defeating Zeed X by the skin of their teeth and saving the omniverse, the YYGDM-01 heroes return home but not without physical and mental battle scars. They may have beaten Zeed X in the battle, but Zeed X got the last laugh in the psychological war. He managed to kill most of their teams (who're quickly revived after the battle) and he lays some earth-shattering and realistic truths about their status as an 'apex' dimension that glorifies itself too much without facing humility. By tampering with the Galaxy Cauldron, Zeed X altered YYGDM-01's dimension, cursing it to become an 'Apex Dimension' that stands above all other dimensions and gradually detaches itself from the other worlds. So much so that eventually its two allied dimensions, DF-616 (Digimon Fusion Kai/Ascendancy) and XLR-8 (Digimon Accel Stream) will be closed off completely from it.
-As shown in exploring more setting depth in Defiants/YYGDM-01's first chapter, not only is the YYGDM-01 dimension being affected and turned into an apex dimension by Zeed X, but also the setting/technology of the dimension changes and regresses into a restricted bubble 'medieval stasis' feel of the 1990s-2000s. Zeed X affecting the YYGDM-01 dimension makes a lot of drastic regressions of making the AU history/culture reach its peak/zenith for the series finale (despite retaining the year 2012) alongside it can never be restored (and especially with Yami Ghidorah successfully tampering the Source prevents that, which the 'retro stasis' is retained in Neo-Crystal Tokyo). It's a meta book end relating to the permanent closure of fanfictions, the first major fanfiction was the original D-Fusion (Digimon Fusion) written in the early 2000s (while the original WoP was also written in that timeframe), the final fanfiction will be WotD to be like the same feeling as the early 2000s. One prominent example is despite the current year being 2012 and for Defiants taking place, there are no iPhones/iPads/smartphones (originally used before Zeed X's dimensional/temporal tampering) that people still (and regress to) use old-fashioned mobile phones of the 1990s and 2000s and that includes flip-flop phones. Myspace, American Online, and Yahoo emails are still used more prominently than Facebook and Google. Forums still feel like old-school forums of the 1990s/2000s. Windows XP is still prominently used, no Vista/Windows 7/other new versions. TV shows/movies/video games' settings/CGI/graphic art styles/etc are still restricted to the feel of the 1990s/2000s, and no hi-definition-related progression/evolution. Discord and Twitter do not exist in the YYGDM-01 dimension. Instead of the Amazing Spider-Man, YYGDM-01 (post-CG Zeed X affected) actually has Spider-Man 4 of the Raimi films that became the second coming of Batman & Robin (and reflecting that with no superhero films in YYGDM-01's 2012 (post-Zeed X affecting the dimension) relates to the end of superheroes in the Defiant War). Tony Stark is played by Tom Cruise in the first Iron Man film in YYGDM-01 (post-CG Zeed X affected, meaning the mentions of the Thor film in the Wolf and the Moon Goddess Gaiden have been sadly retconned out thanks to Zeed X). Nolan Batman trilogy does not exist (Without Nolan Batman's inspirations, then the inspirations of the MCU would not happen in the affected YYGDM-01 post-CG), instead, YYGDM-01 (post-CG Zeed X affected) has the sequel of Batman & Robin with Harley Quinn appearing as Joker's daughter actually released. The Rebuild of Evangelion films do not exist in YYGDM-01 (post-CG Zeed X affected), leaving the Evangelion franchise restricted to only the original TV series/End of Evangelion and its endings remain on a Gainax/confusing/controversial note. Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball, and Dragon Ball GT are fully dubbed by the Ocean Dub all the way through (instead of up to the Namek Saga (Pre-Ginyu Saga) in its initial running in America) instead of Funimation; meaning the viewers are sadly stuck with the experiences of its dubbing like 'being sent to the next dimension' instead of the growth from Funimation's dubbing. TeamFourStar does not exist, meaning no DBZ Abridged in YYGDM-01. Dragon Ball Z Kai does not exist either. The Death Battle show does not exist in YYGDM-01. The Megami Tensei/Persona franchises (and also all the rest of Atlus's games/franchises and cultural inspirations, to the point that the company Atlus itself does not exist in YYGDM-01) don't exist in YYGDM-01 (alongside alluding to the fact that these franchises are not mentioned in pop culture references of past YYGDM-01 stories, including Summer Diaries, relating to the AU personal canon before you properly first got into the Persona franchise with P5 in 2018).
-Even after his fall, Zeed X's actions still have very lasting effects, including planting the seeds of the coming Defiant conflict.
-The atmosphere within the YYGDM-01 world, especially in Japan, is more somber and less zealous. This is another side effect of Zeed X tampering with the Galaxy Cauldron.
-Zeed X's influence also helped kickstart the forthcoming Defiant War into a higher gear than ever before.
Here are some notable dialogue scenes you can expect for the first Defiant chapter:
-A flashback scene of an individual of unknown origin (Zeed X) showing raw video footage of an alternate reality where the Defiant war was determined. Both sides lost many, but the loss of one of the YYGDM leaders (Takuya) drove the surviving leaders to become autocratic dictators.
"I've already seen a future where your heroics turn our society into an autocracy. I can't even tell you who this source truly is, but I must thank him. He's allowed me to get a heads up on you, heroes. I intend to not only play this game, but I will win and restore order to this already chaotic world." - Cain (YYGDM-01)'s words.
-A car explodes, as a result of a group of Defiants trying to disrupt a speech given by Sailor Moon and the other YYGDM-01 leaders. More Defiants, wearing white masks, storm out holding signs, and protesting against the heroes.
"Why are they attacking us?" Sailor Moon wondered in a deeply concerned tone.
Here's one that differentiates the Shin-YYGDM scene of Cain having an interest in KaibaCorp and this is in regards to Defiant Duel Monsters in Defiants/YYGDM-01:
-Seto Kaiba and Maximillion Pegasus meeting with Cain Bearer in a courtroom.
"Mr. Pegasus, can you admit to taking responsibility for allowing Kaiba Corp to utilize technology to bring your monsters to life? We've seen many cases in recent years of duelists getting injured and being hospitalized because of these sanctioned matches. They got hurt because these monsters somehow came to life.
What about you, Seto Kaiba? Do you also take responsibility for the damages and costs of these duelists' medical bills? You have all the money in the world to cover these costs."
Kaiba scowled. "This is absurd."
"No more absurd than you not taking responsibility. Your late father, Gozaburo, would be disappointed."
"And the more I listen to you, you're reminding me of him." Seto rebuked the accusations made against him and his company. "Why haven't these duelists stepped up to file lawsuits against me? All I'm getting is hearsay and from you of all people, Cain. Why suddenly have an interest in my company?"
-Another prelude scene of Takato and Rika announcing their marriage and preparing for their wedding in December 2012.

Assassination attempt on Marty Stonebagel
-The event of November 2, 2012. There will be a Meta assassin that Zeed X warned Cain about back in Gaiden. Marty (YYGDM-01) takes over Taichi (Shin-YYGDM)'s role of debating about Metas (unlike Digimon in Shin-YYGDM).
-Ryo (YYGDM-01) and Sailor Sedna (YYGDM-01) save Marty from assassination, which plays similar to when the Digidestined saved Taichi from assassination in Shin-YYGDM's Defiant Chaos Part I.
-Saving Marty prevents the Defiant War from escalating into a global war. In another timeline, Marty's being assassinated leads to a greater Defiant War that extends beyond Japan and leads to the world's destruction. However, by saving Marty and keeping the Defiant War confined to Japan, something else will materialize and bring forth global destruction: Yami Ghidorah.
-The dimensional traveler, Zagato Laharl from YuYuGiDigiMoon: Summer Diaries/Special Edition, determined that Ryo and Sedna must be removed to prevent the global disaster, but he failed to determine Yami Ghidorah's likely appearance. After Zagato is defeated, his assistant, Aya Tsuki, asks Ryo and Sedna to prevent the global Defiant War from happening. Unbeknownst to them, Sedna and Ryo unknowingly not only save Marty but prevent the Defiant War from going global. However, by doing so, their actions will lead Yami Ghidorah to bring the apocalyptic event.
–In the Digital World, Defiants infiltrate the Digital World and launch an invasion on multiple Digimon/Duel Monster communities. Many subjects are captured, including Mizuno, Brimstone, and every surviving Neo-Rajita entity that still exists there (including Lobo and his Omegamon X partner).
-As strong as they've become, Mizuno and Brimstone are ambushed by enhanced DigiHybrids and Duel Monster Defiants, who're stronger than average S-Class demons and Mega-tier Digimon.
-Nagah sends a team to investigate the sudden Neo-Rajita disappearances. Ztreko-Li and her team arrive and are quickly defeated by the DigiHybrids to be captured as test subjects.
–Yui Tsubasa has had dreams about her Tenyou predecessor, who to this day doesn't know her name. One night, she meets her Tenyou predecessor in a dream, who reveals her name: Kagura. Kagura warns of the terrible darkness and calamity that will affect the present (Yami Ghidorah) and the far future (Arago's return and the Taiyoukai War).
-Like some of their other peers, the Planetary Senshi have grown apart, but not by choice. Some are severely affected psychologically from the Zeed X battle and getting over being told they're fictional characters. Others are trying to move on with their lives, but simply can't due to the forthcoming rise of Neo-Crystal Tokyo. However, roadblocks get in the way of their inevitable future.
-A prelude Defiants scene of Minako (YYGDM-01) and Artemis (YYGDM-01) is inspired by a screencap picture of them talking on a playground. Minako will be sitting on the same swing while having her conversation with Artemis. The dialogue went as follows:
Minako: You know who's gonna give you everything? Yourself. (Credit from 90sArt on Twitter)
-Minako/Sailor Venus wonders if she will retire from being an active Sailor and considers her future as an idol/celebrity. She wants to pursue her dreams but has vowed loyalty to Neo-Queen Serenity once Neo-Crystal Tokyo rises.
-Makoto/Sailor Jupiter briefly settles down with Mako Tsunami and hires someone to help run her florist shop.
-Ami/Sailor Mercury takes time away to pursue her early medical career. She's helping run her mother's clinic with Jami. She's not as active (exceptions being when the Blood Senshi are loose somewhere) until she gets word about Sailor V's scuffles with Sailor O.
-The Outer Senshi have not seen much action since the Zeed X battle. They're mostly on night duties and patrolling Defiant activities. However, they do sense a dreadful storm forthcoming (Yami Ghidorah), but don't outright predict who/what it is yet. Setsuna/Sailor Pluto and John/Volodramon have been monitoring temporal activities, but they've been wary lately of the quiet activities, especially after Zeed X's warnings.
-Usagi/Sailor Moon and Rei/Sailor Mars reflect on Zeed X's warnings about their world and their lives never being the same again. The latter senses a similar dreadful vibe from her fire readings and the Houou warns her that the Yami Houou Symbiote is still at large and will seek them out. Usagi worries about the Blood Senshi and the Defiant activities.
–Dark Cyber Mercury's consciousness will remain inside Cyber Mercury and personality switches like Launch (Dragon Ball) will continue for the foreseeable future.
-Rei's shrine is destroyed by Yami Houou Symbiote.
—Now it's revealed that Rei's grandfather (manga/crystal) is killed when Hikawa Shrine is destroyed, knowing his different appearance and personality in YYGDM-01 from the 1990s anime will be different since he'll encounter Rei's father as a Yami Houou Symbiote.
—-Will Yuuichirou die or be kept alive?
-(K's response: He dies protecting Rei and Hiei's children.)
Here's a preview scene of the attack on Hikawa shrine in Defiants/YYGDM-01. The attacker will be Rei's father, who's possessed by a Yami Houou fragment:
Yami Houou Hiroaki quickly blasts away Hikawa Shrine. Cammy manages to recover Koori and Ryuuhi. She along with Future Koori, Future Ryuuhi, and others mourn over the loss of their home.
"It's gone. Everything is gone!" Cammy's voice audibly cried.
Sailor Mars gets enraged and transformed into Houou Mars. Hiei quickly engaged Yami Houou Hiroaki. Houou Mars, now completely enveloped in cosmic flames, collided with Yami Houou Hiroaki. A bright solar-like explosion illuminates the night sky and shakes nearly all of Tokyo.
"You might've taken my family's home, but…YOU'LL NEVER DESTROY ME, YAMI HOUOU!" Houou Mars's enraged and passionate voice cried out.
-Offering his daughter another chance to join him, Mars fights back with force, sending him retreating. Hiroaki warns that he intends to expose Rei's identity. With their home destroyed, Rei and Cammy are homeless. They (along with Hiei and the twins) seek shelter at Usagi and Mamoru's place. While Hiei is resting, Rei talks with Usagi about her father threatening to reveal her identity. Rei stays in hiding, meditating on her next course of action. Future Ryuuhi and Koori vow to never forgive their uncle for trying to crush their mother's spirit. Fully healed, Hiei trains with his kids. As Rei prepares for an eventual showdown with her father and Ier, Yami!Hiroaki bides his time and waits to coerce Rei/Houou to face him. Yami Hiroaki taunts Rei telepathically, showing images of her childhood, her mother's passing, and Rei taking Cammy from him. Besides crushing Rei's spirit, Yami Hiroaki vows to take Cammy, Koori, and Ryuuhi away.
Specific Fight:
Sailor/Houou Mars, Hiei, Blue Mars, and Ryuuhi vs. Yami Houou Symiote/Hiroaki. (Scene & dialogue)
-One day, some Amazoness Duel Monsters arrive in the real world and ask for help against an invading Defiant army. Makoto is the first to actively volunteer and goes with them. During the battle against these Defiants, another unexpected attack from Defiant forces occurs, causing an explosion that wipes out a lot of the Digimon and Duel Monsters. Jupiter, who gets caught in the explosion, barely survives but falls unconscious somewhere. Makoto goes missing… until a group of Amazoness Duel Monsters (from another village not affiliated with the ones the Victory Tamers and the Senshi know) find Makoto. When Makoto wakes up, she has no memories. The amnesiac Makoto is taken to the village and brought before Amazoness Empress, who initially thinks Makoto's an intruder and orders Makoto to be imprisoned. Makoto, out of instinct, fights off several Amazoness guards. This catches Empress' attention and asks Makoto who she is. Makoto cannot remember. Empress gives her a new name, "Lita". Now living among these Amazons, 'Lita' is trained in the art of combat and given a new purpose: serve loyalty to the Empress and protect the sisterhood. Given new clothing, 'Lita' has embraced her Amazon status. Upon watching 'Lita', Empress has proclaimed to have found her 'Amazoness Fighter'. Empress asks her Amazoness Spellcaster to 'prep the ritual'. During this time, 'Lita' meets and befriends Amazoness Princess.
-Upon returning home to the Stronghold (West Coasters hidden base), Marty tells Lance and the other West Coasters his account of the failed assassination. His friends tell him about freeing captive Metas and warning how quickly so many have been collected by the upgraded SOUJA units.
Here's another preview scene of a character that's been infected by Yami Ghidorah's presence and this is the final scene in Chapter 1:
Some unnamed Metas were captured overseas and locked into capsules. The West Coasters are shown freeing a few of these Metas and running away from some SOUJA units.
"I can't believe they've managed to capture so many in such a short alarming rate," Marty Stonebagel's voice is heard.
"We're been so lucky not to have been captured by now," Andrea's voice is heard after Marty. "Ugh…!"
"Andrea! What's wrong?" asked a concerned Marty.
"I need to rest. I'm going to need time to myself…" she vaguely answered.
Andrea is in isolation somewhere. A subtle black aura enveloped the West Coaster. This unknown source seemingly starts to manipulate Andrea's actions.
"I see… that's what you want…" Andrea eerily whispered. She raised her face. The color in her eyes is dull and lifeless.
Chapter 2 Outline/Spoilers: Prelude to the Defiant War, Part 2
-Due to the assassination attempt, public trust has been given mixed messages. There is a split between hero supporters and others who've chosen the Defiants' side. Cain spreads his rhetoric as anti-Meta and anti-superhero propaganda.
-There are plans for Weevil, Rex, and Keith to become Defiant members. In contrast to their YYGDM-01 selves, Haga, Ryuzaki, and Keith are cameo characters in Shin-YYGDM and are not Defiant members unlike their mainstream selves).
-Whenever Weevil, Rex, and Bandit Keith appear in their scenes, and characters confront/fight them, OST from the Dragon Ball Z Ocean Dub will be used and relates to the three Defiant members being stuck in the old glory days past (with Weevil and Keith being Hate Sinks back in the anime) and continuing YYGDM-01's nature.
-Bandit Keith's Duel Monster form is Perfect Machine King.
-Ideas of Weevil and Rex getting 'fanmade AU' Duel Monster forms: Weevil - Insectxodia (a fusion of Exodia with its body structure (and callback of Weevil threw away the cards) and Basic Insect's colors, alongside the head is Weevil's punchable face. (nodding and looking unimpressed). Oh, Weevil, Weevil, still the hateful and annoying midget who wanted whiny attention by becoming an Exodia ripoff. Rex - Red-Eyes King Rex (a fusion of REBD (with the black scales and red eyes) and Two-Headed King Rex (body structure)).
—(My further thoughts: We have three lame bad guys trying to relive their glory days and regain relevance. The Ocean DBZ score exemplifies that.)
-In Defiants, the three lame Duelists are given new VAs: Weevil is voiced by Brian Drummond, Rex is voiced by Jason Gray-Stanford, and Keith is voiced by Michael Dobson. Remember Weevil's words back in the anime saying "Say goodbye to Exodia!" becomes a Bookend in Defiants of him saying "Say hello to Insectxodia!" (When Weevil himself becomes an insect-themed Exodia), also, Weevil should also say dialogue like "sending you to the next dimension!" (like 'the shadow realm') and "YOU WON'T ESCAPE, MY WRATH! I'LL GET YOU! YOU'RE ALL MINE!".
—-Possible outcome: During the climax against Yami Ghidorah's forces, Weevil will be killed off by one of Yami Ghidorah's Yami mooks.
Random excerpts and key dialogue moments in YYDGM-01 Defiants:
The YYGDM leaders discuss the rising Defiant activity on top of Metas working alongside these Defiants.
"Now, we have Metas who were thought to have been locked away now working with the Defiants. Did Cain do something to influence them?" Takato wondered about these specific Metas' decision to join the Defiant rankings.
"Besides these Metas, there's Anti-Demon crazies making things rough for demons between the two worlds," Yusuke chimed in on a situation involving an Anti-Demon/Spirit World organization that's been eluding detections until now.
The Anti-Demon fanatics successfully infiltrate Spirit World. King Koenma, Jorge, and others are held hostage by the fanatics.
"If Yusuke Urameshi and his colleagues don't present themselves, we will destroy Spirit World." A fanatic, presumably the leader (Iwamoto), openly declared and threatened to make good on his promise.
-In YYGDM-01 Defiants, the Anti-Demon fanatics are named Eugene (has brown hair), Alfred (has red hair), Vincent (has black hair), and Dennis (has blond hair). These names are based on the Philippine dubbed names for the YYH main four characters. Eugene/Alfred/Vincent/Dennis's leader is named Jericho (name based on Koenma's Filipino name) (who has dark blond hair). They'll lead the charge into Spirit World and that part of the YYH will be loosely adapted for this conflict.
-Allfather-Ford even proposed Mr. Akashi and Mr. Iwamoto (the two jerks back in Sarayashiki Junior High) join The Anti-Demon Terrorist Group. Iwamoto was suggested to be the leader of the Anti-Demon fanatics (and the one calling out to the Detectives) when removing his mask to shock Yusuke.
-(My response: That would be a neat twist for Iwamoto to be the one to lead the Anti-Demon fanatics. Yusuke's 'asshole teacher' has become back to lead an organization full of psychos to get back at him.))
-Eugene has brown hair, Alfred has red hair, Dennis has blond hair, Vincent has black hair. Jericho has dark blond hair. All of them are Caucasian and have fair skin.
-The Anti-Demon Forces/Neo Shitennou's VAs (Dennis/Vincent/Alfred/Eugene's voices tribute the five Ronin Warriors, Jericho's voice is Minato (Naruto)): Dennis - Michael Donovan, Vincent - Matt Hill, Alfred - Jason Gray-Stanford, Eugene - Ward Perry, Jericho - Tony Oliver
-Digihybrids and Defiants becoming Duel Monsters are confirmed to be used in YYGDM-01's Defiants. The Staff of Apophis will be replicated to give Defiants and test subjects the power of Spirit Fusion to be used against the Duelists and their allies. Chaos Magician Girl's power is drawn to enhance the new Staff's magical potency. Metas and Spirit-Fused soldiers enter the Digital World to collect Digimon test subjects to create Digimon with Human forms like Mizuno and Brimstone. Those two, along with other Digimon with human forms, will be captured. A few remaining Neo-Rajita (who are part-Digimon) are beaten and captured as well.
-Marty suggests he and the West Coasters go back to Japan after linking the captive Metas to one of CainCorp's Japanese facilities.
-I can't forget about Sailor O/Sailor Orcus's side plot. As Sailor O, she's independent and hardcore. She now lives on her own in the slums side of Tokyo (Ford's reply: Yes, and with the homeless people, showing that she's also homeless) (My response: The difference is the Hino sisters and their family has friends to turn to stay with. Orcus purposefully severed ties with her friends and mother like a stubborn and selfish brat. The Hinos also were left an inheritance to bounce back later and rebuild the shrine in Crystal Tokyo. Orcus has no benefits after dropping out of the idol scene and lives by doing vigilante work for dirty money. The Hino sisters and their family receive sympathy but Christina won't due to her immature behavior.) and has severed ties with the others. She physically trains herself to toughen her mind and body. Her once soft hands are hardened. She bears battle scars on her back and parts of her body after scuffling with street thugs and encounters with the Bizarro Kuipers. As far as the public is aware, 'Christina Denton' has been missing, but her bastard father has made it clear his daughter is still out there wearing a vigilante mask and threatening to take down his empire. We know her whole fight with the Kuipers and nearly breaking Tyra's arm.
-Minako briefly retires as Sailor Venus and brings back Sailor V to the spotlight and helps Sakurada on a case involving a 'rogue vigilante named Sailor O'. Going back to being Sailor V, Minako searches for Christina/Sailor O, who has been causing problems lately.
More excerpts/key dialogue from Defiants:
A solitary figure standing on a rooftop. This lone vigilante is revealed to be Sailor O. She pivoted toward DentonCorp with a purpose.
"The world only cares for Christina Denton, the famed international idol. They don't give a fuck about Sailor Orcus. At least I get paid for singing and performances. I don't get shit for saving civilians and being goody-goody. The Defiant stuff is just proof of that."
Sailor O dropped in the middle of an empty lot. She saved a civilian being harrassed by Defiants. The Defiants head off Sailor O, who promptly beats them down with ease. Sailor O stood over the beaten masked Defiants.
"In the name of obscurity, you won't remember anything that happened here."
"Christina!"
Sailor O comes face to face with her former team: the Kuiper Belt Senshi.
Sailor Sedna pleaded to the vigilante. "Please, Orcus. You don't want to continue going down this path. It's not you."
"Sorry, but this is the path I've chosen for myself. If anyone is going to take down Cain Bearer, Michael Denton, and all these Defiant networks; it'll be me and SAILOR O WORKS ALONE!"
"So, it's you vs the World? Good luck with that," rebuked Sailor Varuna.
Sailor Varuna and Sailor O have a brief scuffle. It ends with O kicking Mjolnir out of Varuna's hand and applying an arm hold. Sailor O is on the verge of breaking Varuna's arm, but the Kuipers intervene before O can seriously injure her former teammate.
"So 'sorry' you had to see that, but let this be a warning to not mess with me."
"Please stop, Christina!" cried out Sedna.
"OPEN YOUR EYES, KARIN! THERE'S PEOPLE WHO THINK WE'RE DANGEROUS, AND OUR ACTIONS ARE BECOMING IRRESPONSIBLE!"
Other key dialogue from Sailor O:
- "Sailor O can at least work in the shadows undetected. That's what Sailor V did. She was a lone badass before becoming an ass-kisser to our 'beloved' Moon Princess." - to the Kuipers, but mostly Karin
- "Oh please, you think you're tough, Tyra honey?" - to Tyra
- "To be frank, I've always been prettier than a butch and manly whore like you." - to Tyra again
- "You probably were a man in another lifetime." - to Tyra once again
- "So sorry you had to see that, but let this be a warning to not mess with me." - warning to the other Kuipers (Taylor, Jami, Helena)
- "Why the hell did you even bother staying with the team? You could've asked to leave and become a free spirit after what those Neo-Rajita freaks did to you." - to Helena
- "I thought you, Helena, would understand my situation better than anyone else." to Helena again.
- "Tata everyone. Don't even bother trying to find me." - to the Kuiper team
- "Sailor O works alone."
- "Well, well, Sailor V, the first hero of justice, meets Sailor O, the latest hero to defy justice... this is a long time coming. What do you think of your student now, sensei?" - to Sailor V
- "You sold out to become Sailor Moon's guardian! You were a badass loner who didn't care whether she teamed with anyone or not!" - to Sailor V
- "I lost my way? No, V, I've taken a new direction in my life!" - to Sailor V
- "I colored my hair and donned this mask to mirror your example. But, rather than being a symbol of justice, I've become a defiant symbol." - to Sailor V
- "No, was the path I took the wrong one? No! This can't be! I don't want to fall back in line and return to being lost in the shuffle! And becoming irrelevant!" - after being defeated by Sailor V
–The endgame for Orcus' resolution: ultimately, Sailor Venus decides to confront Orcus. It comes down to Sailor V vs Sailor O. V wins. Orcus can't believe this and chastises Venus for having all the popularity.
-Sailor O dialogue (vs. Sailor V):
-"No matter how popular I am, I'll never get on your level."
-"Where the hell are my Sailor O figures and manga?!"
-Christina (YYGDM-01)'s past is finally revealed, such as how her parents' divorce happened, Michael being a hateful and abusive father, the box jellyfish incident (and Michael refusing to save her from the animal's toxins), etc.
-Since Christina's identity is already revealed to the public, and to retaliate against Sailor O emotionally/mentally, Michael doxxing more of Christina's past history (including the box jellyfish event, obviously he does not care about rescuing her back then) before becoming a singer in showing to daily news. Because Sucro is Orcus's clone, and she has the Kuiper's memories connected (alongside Kensuke's and his past), Michael uses these memories to spread the news of actual footage based on them, including those of ZarcDramon X destroying universes shown on TV, and Kensuke's curse that killed 2,000 victims in the past. This not only shows Sailor Orcus as a destructive force that shocks everyone and her fans (Even the YYGDM heroes can't do anything even though they are surprised, further fueling Christina's anger towards them and the Kuipers.) but also implies that Kensuke's destructive nature is shown. This means during Ken's sleep, the public finally knows of this alongside Dramon X's secret identity as Kensuke, and in fear, they clearly banned Kensuke from duel tournaments. This is to retain the 'Nothing is the Same Anymore' theme for both Ken/Christina to be hated in the omniverse. They thought YYGDM-01 is the only isolated shelter left, but thanks to Michael, it's now nothing and null. To add insult to injury, Sailor Sucro is tasked to sing in concerts (And to make Sailor O/Christina beyond mad, and that's just the start). But it is not for performance, it's to spread propaganda for the Defiants and Michael's political power. And in meetings with Cain and others, Michael is seen with Anurav and Raoauq in his arms as his favorite prostitutes (making even Cain feel disgusted) and how the Bizarros' comments enjoyed their threesome with him (alongside them doing inappropriate things in Defiant meetings, Anurav caressing/licking Michael's right side of his neck and ears while Raoauq unbuttons his business shirt and licks his left nipple). When they encounter Quaoar/Varuna, Michael/Anurav/Raoauq perform a three-way kiss to disgust the Kuiper lesbians.).
-Later on, Sailor V fights and beats Sailor O, giving her an eye-opener on friends needing each other. (Ford's reply: Of course even after being defeated by Venus, Sailor O would still refuse to listen (to continue the audience's dislike of her) and still gave malicious comments to Sedna and Varuna (With her giving the 'Yamato laundry list to Kensuke from the scrap Cross Generations Ch. 22 scene', Sailor O rebukes with bold/capitalized.) and with bold/capitalized dialogue. Don't forget about Michael becoming a jellyfish monster, torturing Sailor O, making Sailor O beyond mad that she delivered the brutal beatdown on Michael Denton and absorb the jellyfish form to becoming that jellyfish monster itself. As a result, she's about to destroy the universe with thousands of black and white holes, and also affect the Galaxy Cauldron to keep YYGDM-01's reputation relevant. Kensuke is going to deliver a mercy kill until Sedna has both talked out of it that I recall you mention this idea before.)
-Angered and refusing to accept defeat, Sailor O's fury invokes her dark power, creating a miniature black hole that destroys nearly everything in her path. Sailor V gets caught in the shockwaves and quickly overpowers her. After leaving Sailor V critically hurt, Sailor O vanishes into the night.
-Other heroes' identities like Sailor Venus may be exposed besides Orcus. (My words back on Discord in 2/2021: The only other Sailor who I had in mind for a while that might get her identity exposed is Sailor Venus, who is considered a celebrity thanks to the Sailor V brand.)
-(My follow-up: Actually, I think I'll just stick with Minako being the only other one to have her identity exposed.)
-During her fight with Sailor O, another crony sent by Michael (and where no one can notice him since he'll be in a dark corner) catches Minako transforming into Sailor Venus and sends the photos to his boss. Michael exposes Minako's identity in an attempt to one-up Cain and shows he's a bigger underhanded scumbag than Cain. Unlike Christina, Minako doesn't overact and push away her friends. Since Venus (YYGDM-01)'s identity is exposed, Alan and Katarina will appear to help protect her image and from scummy stalkers/sexual predators/Defiants.
-Upon recovery, Sailor V is targeted by her Blood counterpart - Okanim the Blood Venus, leading to an intense confrontation. There comes a point when Rio and Artemis (in human form) help and both, especially Artemis, are critically wounded by Okanim. Angered, V turns into Venus and tries to avenge her loved ones. Okanim escapes, leaving Venus to pick up the pieces as she vows to finish the Blood Venus.

-Later, Ami also gets word about Sailor Jupiter's disappearance. Learning that Jupiter hasn't returned from the Digital World for a week, Ami meets with the others. One of the survivors of the war arrives to tell them about the Defiant attack and informs them Jupiter has gone missing. They're given what's left of Makoto: her Valkyrie Dagger. Ami volunteers to search for her. Mako Tsunami, Umi, Amaya, and Daiki go with her to find Makoto. The mission lasts a few days as they search hard for Makoto's whereabouts. Little do they know, Ima and Otokam follow them, using their innate ability to sense their counterparts' presence. After meeting with a few locals, Ami and her group are told that a group of human women has recently been taken from Earth and brought into a local village. One claims to have seen a tall woman with brunette hair worn in a ponytail and a strong physique. The group goes directly to the source and find out a 'ritual' is about to occur to initiate new Amazon tribe members. By the time they arrive, they find Makoto among a group of Amazons. They witness the 'ritual', which has a Spellcaster performing a spell for Empress. With a touch, Empress manages to convert a woman with a flute into an Amazoness Blowpiper. They see Makoto and intervene to save her. As they fight off some Amazons, Mako and Umi reach Makoto and talk sense to her. Now calling herself 'Lita', she attacks them. Mercury concludes Makoto somehow is either under their control or has lost her memories. Then, Ima and Otokam crash the party, attacking both sides. Otokam sees Makoto and provokes her to fight her. Mercury tosses the Jupiter Valkyrie Dagger to Makoto, who catches it. For a moment, Makoto's memories resurface and she fights back against Otokam. Amid the fighting, Empress takes action, disarms Makoto with her dagger, and throws her into the ritual ring where Spellcaster finalizes the spell. Amazoness Princess tries to stop the ritual but Empress quickly knocks her away. A bright glow envelops Makoto and changes her. When it's said and done, Makoto Kino is gone. In her place is Empress's newest right-hand servant: Lita the Amazoness Fighter (the green outfit variation). Picking up her mother's henshin dagger, Umi is distraught. Lita attacks Otokam and the others. Mercury prepares to stop Lita. Spellcaster opens a portal, sending all the intruders back to Earth. Lita turns and pledges her loyalty to only Empress. Empress then proclaims it's time to meet with the Defiant forces (the same ones that destroyed the Duel Monster/Digimon forces where Jupiter was fighting). Empress, behind the scenes, is revealed to be a Defiant human using the guise of a Duel Monster to create an army using the magic of the Staff of Apophis (derived from Chaos Magician Girl). It is then revealed that they crushed the real Amazon Village, driving Athenamon and her troops away. The Defiants have unknowingly turned a Senshi into one of their monster subjects. As Lita helps 'Empress' gather the troops, inklings of Makoto's memories start to resurface. While dismissing these memories, she remains 'Lita' and serves as Empress's vassal until the Defiant War. Mercury reports that Jupiter has been lost, driving the notion that anything could happen to any of them now during these unprecedented times.
-The West Coasters arrive in Tokyo just a few hours before the Defiant War starts. Andrea is still acting strange and her friends pick up on her patterns. So much so that Marty and Lance confront Andrea in private but Andrea denies anything.
-December 19, 2012 is when the Defiant War in YYGDM-01 begins.
Chapter 3 Outline/Spoilers: The Defiant War First Half
-What about Chaos Magician Girl's fate (once her use of being the catalyst for the creation of Defiant Duel Monsters) after the Defiants/YYGDM-01 conflict of whether she survives or not?
-(My answer: No, she won't survive in the facility she's in once it's destroyed.)
-Ford had a random query for potential unique Metas: 'I wonder will there be Kaijuu Metas in Defiants? :P' (My answer: Lol, never say never.)
—-Two of these Kaijuu Metas look like Golza and Melba from Ultraman Tiga named Golzaki and Melbaki as part of Cain's Meta army. Yes, they were Digimon expies of these from the Voltron chapter in Cross Generations that Takato and his friends once stopped. Now the two Kaijuu Metas will look like them, and they are ironically controlled by Cain and roles being like Gozu(ki)/Ox-Head and Mezu(ki)/Horse-Face.
—-Another two Kaijuu Metas look like the two kaijū called Sculla and Basiliss from Ultraman.
-One of the Metas that side with the Defiants looks like a Klown from Killer Klowns from Outer Space. :P
-Another random Meta has webslinger powers and he will be (head canon) voiced by Tobey Maguire.
-Another random Meta has wolverine claws, he is (head canon) voiced by Hugh Jackman.
-Both the webslinger and wolverine-clawed Metas for Defiants will be middle-aged adults. They also fit the retro theme of Sony and 20th Century Fox's Marvel movies were once dominant in the 2000s before the MCU.
The Defiant War kicks off with the heroes fighting off SOUJA units/drones, DigiHybrids, Duel Monster Defiants, and an army of Metas (all under Cain's control).
-Controlled Metas wear collars and devices that control their wills. They also act as failsafes if a meta rebels and tries to resist/remove the devices. Even if the Metas succeed, Cain still indeed uses failsafes that'll kill the Metas.
-The West Coasters and the Chimeras (sans Maya who leaves with Kurama and the Detectives) team up against some of Cain's Meta army.
-Mika and Hayata get killed during the skirmishes.
Specific battle:
The West Coasters and the Chimeras (Mika and Hayata die) vs. Meta army. (Summarized)
-While Ford was watching Yashahime, he had a new idea relating to Defiants besides the music being used since Yashahime is an Inuyasha sequel. Remembering the Huskymon sister trio (From WoP Redux: Three Husky-like Digimon standing in front of him. On the far left was a grey-furred female dog with a pink scarf and matching color gloves. The female dog in the middle had dark fur. The one on the far right was a golden-furred dog Digimon with a green scarf. "Ah, Huskymon, ShadowHuskymon, and BelleHuskymon.")? They are captured by the Defiants, and are actually evolved into beautiful humanoid hybrids (after escaping from the Defiants) in tributing Moroha, Towa Higurashi, and Setsuna from Yashahime and having the same VAs. This is another full circle of the Huskymon trio being Belle's OCs and another Inuyasha full circle. Then, looking back Kouji (YYGDM-01) have yet to have a love interest (while his Shin-YYGDM self has Minami), he could be paired up with the Towa/BelleHuskymon expy (so it'll be the second Human/Digimon pairing shown, only that it'll be the first time be used in mainstream YYGDM after Shin-YYGDM). Thomas (YYGDM-01) of the Data Squad could be paired up with the Setsuna/ShadowHuskymon expy (make that another Human/Digimon pairing). The Moroha/Huskymon expy could be paired up with Ryo (YYGDM-01) (Since his Shin-YYGDM has two girlfriends, Ryo (YYGDM-01) will have his chance as a literal throw the 'dog' a bone). During the Defiant War, Huskymon and Ryo encounter and fight a blue Renamon hybrid used by the Defiants that looks like Krystal (Star Fox), tributing Renamon/Sakuyamon vs. Kuzuhamon with Ryo being like the Inumon only different (alongside tributing Renamon/Kai (Shin-YYGDM)), in which it slowly becomes a threesome (a furry threesome and counterpart to Ryo/Alice/Dorothel (Shin-YYGDM)). After Yami Ghidorah's final defeat with celebrations before the global depower; Kouji/BelleHuskymon, Thomas/ShadowHuskymon, and Ryo/Huskymon/BlueRenamon (having a threesome, even furry threeway kisses) have off-screen intercourses. The first ending song of Yashahime (Cue Hanyo no Yashahime - Ending 1 Full Version「Break」by Uru) plays for the three intercourses.
Huskymon's voice actor - Julie Maddalena (Hikaru from Magic Knight Rayearth)
ShadowHuskymon's voice actor - Wendee Lee (Umi from Magic Knight Rayearth)
BelleHuskymon's voice actor - Bridget Hoffman (Fuu from Magic Knight Rayearth)
BlueRenamon's voice actor - Estelle Ellis (Krystal from Star Fox)
Specific Battle:
Ryo &Cyberdramon/Justimon and the Huskymon vs. Blue Renamon DigiHybrid. (Scene & dialogue/summarized)
-The Legendary Warriors fight against an army of DigiHybrids. These DigiHybrids are strong enough to push them to use their A and Z-Hybrid forms.
-Jaarin/Ranamon gets killed during the battle. Before dying, Jaarin gives her Spirits to Izumi.
The West Coasters enter CainCorp and are stopped by several of Cain's Metas (the Rogues, who are controlled by mind devices and are being led by the electric Meta Buzz). It's revealed that Buzz is the assassin that tried to kill Marty back on November 2nd. Buzz is a Meta, who is under Cain's payroll and sold his Rogue colleagues out to be captured by SOUJA.
-Amid the battle, the Mind Jewel takes hold of Andrea, causing her to maliciously attack the Rogues. After decimating the Rogues on her own, she turns loose against her friends. Neuromancer/Dirk, who is acting as a double agent while working through Cain's company, arrives to confront the group but winds up helping them fight a frenzied Andrea. They realize it's Apophis that's returned to seek revenge using the Mind Jewel to control Andrea.
-The Valkyries sense the Mind Jewel's power and crash into CainCorp and help TWC stop Andrea. As Andrea quickly overwhelms the Valkyries, Brunhilde and Skuld rush in to exorcize Apophis' control over Andrea. After Andrea is restored, TWC and Valkyrie question if Apophis has truly returned and is seeking to influence the Defiant Wars. Little do they know, it's more than just Apophis. TWC, Dirk, and Valkyries (sans Brunhilde and Skuld) enter CainCorp to stop Cain. Along the way, they face SOUJA units and Duel Monster Defiants. Nick/Surgebinder gets killed while protecting his sister Penny and Carmen.
-How will Andrea (YYGDM-01) be free from Apophis (and Yami Ghidorah)'s control in letting out the unmark spoiler? Will the Valkyries (YYGDM-01) take part in exorcising Apophis (and Yami Ghidorah)'s control like the Shin-YYGDM versions? (K's answer: Yeah, one of the Valkyries can exorcise the evil control over Andrea. I'm looking at Brunhilde and Skuld to do it.)
-(K's words: Lazer has an idea that Andrea may be linked/involved with Yami Ghidorah's return. This goes back to the Mind Jewel, which she now possesses. Inside the Jewel, Yami Ghidorah is manipulating her actions, but doing so subtly without giving himself away. Initially, it's believed Apophis is doing it, but in the end it's Yami Ghidorah.

-Originally when Igasu and the Blood Senshi first appeared in DoC and Sins of Father Gaiden, they were voiced by the same Viz dub actors of the Sailor Senshi. However, months pass and by the time the main conflict of Defiants/YYGDM-01 takes place, their voices actors have been rebooted that are exclusive to the YYGDM-01 versions: Igasu the Blood Moon - Linda Ballantyne, Blood Mercury - Liza Balkan, Blood Mars - Emilie-Claire Barlow, Blood Jupiter - Susan Roman, Blood Venus - Emilie-Claire Barlow, Blood Pluto - Sabrina Grdevich, Blood Uranus - Sarah Lafleur, Blood Neptune - Barbara Radecki, and Blood Saturn - Jen Gould. Their Shin-YYGDM versions do not have these voice changes.
-Likewise by the time of Defiants, the Bizarro Senshi (YYGDM-01)'s voices have rebooted to be exclusive to the YYGDM-01 versions: Andes - Loretta Jafelice (Looking back, Andes originally first appeared in Across Dimensions/Siege of GranDracmon has the same voice actor as Sedna's, but her voice changes in Defiants of months pass after CG), Anurav - Sara Sahr, Raoauq - Naomi Emmerson, Sucro - Catherine Disher, Sire - Julie Lemieux, and Noixi - Kim Bubbs. Michael Denton himself is voiced by Jeff Lumby. Meanwhile, the Bizarro Senshi (YYGDM-01)'s Shin-YYGDM selves do not have these and retain the same voices as the Kuipers.
-The YYGDM-01 Digital World's involvement in Defiants will be fighting DigiHybrids and Duel Monster Defiants.
-Hamada (Kotori's school bully) will reunite and fight each other when Kotori tries pursuing him during a 'robbery' which turns out to be a front to lure out the heroes and Metas to trap them. A character named Kimiko Nakatomi will also appear in Defiants/YYGDM-01.
–(LazerWulf's words: Hamada joining the Defiants is good. Any characters we can mine from the past (like Dragoon, Zealoss, and Grapplo from DoC, or Lady Psyren from WoP Redux) is one we don't have to create from scratch. I have also considered having Kimiko Nakatomi make an actual appearance (instead of just having her name dropped by Kenta) as a Defiant, perhaps causing tensions between Kenta and Adora.)
-Hamada's voice actor - Andrew Francis
-Kimiko's voice actor - Grey DeLisle
-Hamada's appearance/description: A youthful man with a moderate build, shoulder-length long straight brown hair, sharp reddish-brown eyes, and a beige complexion. Wears an azure-colored shirt underneath a dark brown jacket, deep blue jeans, and black shoots. Wears a necklace with a hyena's face and a black spiked bracelet on his left wrist.
-Kimiko's appearance/description: A young woman with a moderate build, her long back-length black hair is tied in a high ponytail, bright blue eyes, and a fair complexion. Wears light make-up and wears light pink lipstick. Wears a full black bodysuit, covering most of her upper body, legs, and thighs, but sans her hands, and a red waistcloth. Her footwear is a pair of black low-cut karate shoes.
(Lazer's response: I remember Kimiko. Even if only in name, I had based her off of Kimiko from Xiaolin Showdown, so I guess I'd imagine her to be a grown-up version of that. Normally calm and friendly, but with a fiery temper that flares up on occasion (of course, any Defiant powers she gets should be fire-based, and exacerbate her temper while under the influence). Appearance-wise, I'd say go with her Xiaolin Chronicles appearance, with the single high-ponytail instead of the pigtails. Kimiko, I think, didn't join the Defiants of her own volition. I think maybe she has some kind of terminal sickness, but her "Uncle Joe" (aka Joseph Takagi, to continue the Die Hard reference) is a high-level executive at CainCorp, and got her into the Defiants program as a last-ditch effort to cure her. She doesn't necessarily have any grudge against the heroes but acts more in gratitude and loyalty to Cain and Uncle Joe. (Or maybe Cain is holding something over her, like a second part of her "cure", or threatening Uncle Joe's position in his company.)
-The Doberids (commanded by Hamada as the alpha (Hamada has a WaruSeadramon DNA injected into his body to become a Digihybrid). Their body structure is four-legged like Dobermon/Doberman Pinscher, but their facial structures and complexion color is similar to their respective Digimon spliced.)
Guilmon + Dobermon (named Aeryk as the beta) (which is the name of a scrapped OC from my old forums in the 2000s)
Terriermon + Dobermon (named Andrew)
Renamon + Dobermon (named Angelina)
Inumon + Dobermon (named Jamieson)
–The Defiant Knights have Duel Monster forms:
Zealoss/Magician of Dark Illusion/Ebon Illusion Magician
Grapplo/Evil HERO Malicious Edge/Evil HERO Malicious Fiend
Dragoon/Stardust Spark Dragon/Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon
Defiant Duel Monster Army (their levels range from the weaker street-level heroes to the super metas (Strong enough to fight Ascendants, Dai-Valkyrie Senshi, Z-Hybrids, and Beast Biomergers).): Tactical Espionage Expert, White Night Dragon, Machina Soldier, KA-2 Des Scissors, Cyber Ogre 2, Cyber-Stein, Gene-Warped Warwolf, Needle Soldier, Scab Scar-Knight, Masked HERO Acid, Masked HERO Dark Law, Phantom Beast Rock-Lizard, Crimson Knight Vampire Bram (obviously a completely different version of fighting Tsukimaru and Urd), Armored Kappa, Locomotion R-Genex (tributing Runaway Locomon that took place before WoP/Redux), Elemental HERO Escuridao, Archfiend Emperor the First Lord of Horror, Crab Turtle, Worm Millidith, Turtle Bird, Yamadron
-Keith's Army: Zoa/Metalzoa, Launcher Spider, Pendulum Machine, Slot Machine, Barrel Dragon, Mechanicalchaser, Machine King, Zera the Mant, Twin-Barrel Dragon, Blowback Dragon, Fusilier Dragon the Dual-Mode Beast, Gatling Dragon, Mazera DeVille, Geargiagear Gigant XG (XYZ captain)
-Rex's Army: Two-Headed King Rex, Sword Arm of Dragon, B. Dragon Jungle King, Megazowler, Giant Rex, Gilasaurus, Kaitoptera, Horned Saurus, Balloon Lizard, Black Tyranno, Black Stego, Carboneddon, Hazy Flame Hydra, Evolzar Laggia (XYZ captain)
-Weevil's Army: Basic Insect, Gokibore, Hercules Beetle, Kamakiriman, Killer Needle, Great Moth, Insect Queen, Leghul, Cockroach Knight, Poison Butterfly, Spyder Spider, Informer Spider, Mother Spider, Relinquished Spider, Anteatereatingant, Aztekipede the Worm Warrior, Atomic Firefly, Blazewing Butterfly, Grasschopper, Hundred-Footed Horror, Inzektor Hopper, Scary Moth, Number 84: Pain Gainer (XYZ captain)
(K's words: Whoa, great Duel Monster army list for the four Duelists, even adding XYZs to serve as captains.)
-Possibly, some of the Defiants' bases and weaponry/nuclear weapons can model after these Machine duel monsters: Aegaion the Sea Castrum, Number 36: Chronomaly Chateau Huyuk, Number 81: Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Super Dora, Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer, and Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max.
-(My response: Whoa, we have weapons based on machine Duel Monsters. That's going all out.)
-Brunhilde and Skuld find Hamada and confront him. Hamada sics the Doberids. MetalSeadramon fights the Doberids on Brunhilde's behalf. Brunhilde and Skuld fend off Hamada who, as a DigiHybrid, is a match for them. Reaching his ultimate mutation, Hamada settles his score with Kotori to the bitter end. The Biomerged Tamers arrive and help MetalSeadramon destroy the Doberids. Brunhilde defeats Hamada. After the Defiants/YYGDM-01 conflict, Hamada will be sent to prison along with other Defiant members for collateral damage.
-Kenta and Adora face Kimiko, who remembers Kenta. Before their fight, Kimiko tries to drive a wedge between Kenta and Adora. Manipulated by Cain to fight on his behalf in order to obtain a cure for her terminal illness and to see her 'Uncle Joe', Kimiko fights Kenta and Adora. As Kenta tries to talk sense into Kimiko, Adora/Mist cares less for Kimiko's crisis and goes for the kill. Kimiko's anger flares up, causing her to burn everything in her path. As Kimiko and Mist have a fire battle, Kenta knocks Kimiko out and prevents Mist from killing her.
Specific Battles:
Brunhilde and Skuld vs. Hamada. (Scene and dialogue)
MetalSeadramon and Biomerged Tamers vs. Doberids. (Summarized)
Kenta and Adora/Mist vs. Kimiko. (Scene and dialogue)
-As the 'fake' Amazons and their affiliates (Defiants) led by 'Empress' and Lita the Amazoness Fighter lay siege to Azabu-Juuban, the Sailor and Neo Senshi arrive to confront them. Moon talks sense into the Amazonified!Makoto, who barely remembers being Jupiter. 'Empress' convinces her that the Senshi are deceivers. Suddenly, Amazoness Princess arrives with the real Amazons and the Victory Tamers. Swordswoman attacks 'Empress' while the Senshi, VTs, and the Amazons fight the Duel Monster Defiants. Philippe briefly fights Lita and uses his Light of Victory to overwhelm her. Lita then powers up with relentless force and increases her muscle mass to beat down Philippe, who then matches her strength with his full-powered Light of Victory cat form. As Amazoness Queen and Swordswoman fuse into a real Amazoness Empress, they defeat 'Empress' and reveal her to be nothing but a Defiant soldier. Lita is confused and attacks the fused Amazon, who knocks Lita away with a punch. Umi/Battle Jupiter blasts Lita with Mjolnir and with Moon's help purifies Lita, turning her back into Makoto Kino. Realizing she was used, Makoto beats up the Defiant woman.
-It's also revealed that the Defiant woman and her group took in prostitutes and used mystic energies from the Staff of Apophis to turn them into Duel Monsters. It's also revealed they not only ravaged the Amazon Kingdom but sold many Amazons to be sex slaves for Goblins. Thankfully, the Victory Tamers, who got word from Amazoness Princess about this disaster, saved the Amazons and returned to face the fake ones.
-The fake 'Empress' was eventually going to turn against Lita the Amazoness Fighter and sell her off as a sex slave for those Goblins. Thank goodness this horrible outcome never happens. Absolute worst-case scenario: Makoto w/o her full memories in the body of an Amazoness, wearing a suppression collar, sold & married off to a disgusting Goblin, and forced into non-consensual sex. Doing this, the Defiants would've taken one Sailor Senshi out of commission. That's a fate worse than death. No, no, no. I'd never let that happen to sweet Makoto.

-The Anti-Demon fanatics are defeated during the Defiants/YYGDM-01 conflict. It will also be revealed that Eugene, Alfred, Dennis, and Vincent escape (alongside young males that are reincarnations of Beryl's men (Eugene/Alfred/Dennis/Vincent are also reincarnations) in the past) and later join forces with Beryl/Kuiiza's kingdom in the far future. They will also be paired together with their Sailor Moon MOTW whores.
-Eugene, Alfred, Dennis, Vincent, Jericho, and other young men that'll pair up with Sailor Moon MOTW whores are revealed to be reincarnations of men that sided with Beryl's forces that once attacked the Silver Millennium. This comes full circle as a coincidence reference that the Youma are descended from Orichalcos monsters and Makai demons mentioned in Invasion of the Rajita.

Yusuke, Yui, and RJ vs. Eugene.
Kuwabara and Aoshi vs. Alfred.
Kurama and Maya vs. Dennis.
Hiei, Ryuuhi, and Rio vs. Vincent.
The Spirit Detectives vs. Jericho.
-After dealing with the Anti-Demon fanatics, the Spirit Detectives return to Earth and get involved in the main Defiant War. They fight armies of Duel Monster Defiants, SOUJA, and DigiHybrids. They sense Mizuno and Brimstone's presence and free their captured friends. They also free other prisoners, including Digimon, Duel Monster, and Rajita prisoners.
-In a surprising twist, having learned about the Defiant War from Ryo and Cyberdramon, Team Xros Heart (Taiki, Kiriha, & Nene) and Marcus & Agumon will appear in the Defiants War.
-Zexal may also appear in the YYGDM-01 version thanks to Lazer with Defiants (YYGDM-01) taking place in-between seasons 1 and 2.
-(My response: To be honest, when LazerWulf proposed this, I wasn't sure because I felt 5Ds was a necessary endpoint for YYGDM in-universe (outside of Zexal being a separate dimension). Of course, I did start implementing XYZ cards in an XYZ tournament that Chaosblazer helped write. As it is YYGDM is already big enough for a mega crossover. Moreover, Yuma could've appeared as a cameo in the Omniversal War during Cross Generations alongside Yuya and Yusaku. As of this writing, there aren't concrete plans to incorporate Yuma and his friends in Defiants.)
-With the Defiant crisis in full effect and Sailor O still at large, Athena and Rosa desperately seek out Kensuke's stasis chamber. Athena uses a key to unlock the chamber, awakening Kensuke. Before Athena can tell her Uncle Ken everything, Kensuke just says, "I know everything. The Defiants and what happened to Christina." He then turns to his future daughter Rosa and reassures her that he's "going to get mommy back."
-Joey and Mai fight Bandi Keith and Psyren (who's a modified cyborg) during the earliest part of the Defiant War. Tea, Tristan, Duke, Serenity, and even Bakura battle Weevil and his insects. Miho and Vivian (who turn into their Sailor forms when Rex's monsters prove too tough) & their future daughters handle Rex Raptor.
-As Joey handles Keith, Psyren renews her rivalry with Mai. Kensuke flies over the area. Psyren sees Kensuke and prepares to attack him. Kensuke effortlessly ends her attack. Psyren challenges Kensuke to a duel but Kensuke says he has other plans. Mai steps up and faces Psyren in Kensuke's place. As Kensuke leaves, Psyren is irked and chases him, but Mai stops her. Mai defeats Psyren.

Tea, Tristan, Duke, Serenity, and Bakura vs. Weevil. (Summarized)
Miho/Sailor Makemake, Spectral Makemake, Vivian/Sailor Haumea, and Desert Haumea vs. Rex Raptor. (Summarized)
-In a shocking and heartbreaking moment, Mai is among the first known heroes to die in battle. Bandit Keith kills Mai in front of Joey and considers this 'payback' for making him a fool at Duelist Kingdom. Angered by his girlfriend's death, Joey gets enraged and beats Bandit Keith to near death, leaving him a crippled mess. Instead of killing Keith, Joey leaves Keith to suffer grievous injuries for the rest of his life. After finding a safe place for Mai's body, Joey takes Mai's cards and adopts her monsters to fight in the remainder of the war.
-The Kaiba-Stromberg family (Seto, Lyn, Mokuba, Max, and Sam) encounter Golzaki and Melbaki. The Kaijuu Metas want to prove they're superior to dragons. Seto takes them up on their challenge. He, Lyn, and Mokuba summon the three Blue-Eyes White Dragon and combines them into Ultimate Blue-Eyes.
Specific Battle:
Seto, Lyn, Mokuba/BEWD x3, Max, and Sam vs. Golzaki and Melbaki. (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
-Jaden's friends end up fighting Duel Monster Defiants. Jaden convenes with Yugi and both of them run into the Defiant Knights. However, Yugi and Jaden are short of one Duelist. Who could be their third guy?
-In the YYGDM-01 future, Usa/Neo Moon and her mother sense terrible calamity in the past. The Defiant Wars threaten the existence of their future. With an imminent temporal wave threatening to purge their timeline, Usa summons and reunites with the Signers to return to the past.
Chapter 4 Outline/Spoilers: The Defiant War Second Half
-Usa/Neo Moon and the Signers arrive in the past, meet with the Neo Senshi, and get caught up in the Defiant War. SOUJA and Duel Monster Defiants quickly attack them. Yusei seeks to find Yugi and Jaden. Likewise, Neo Moon and RJ seek out Sailor Moon and Yusuke.
-When Yusei reunites with Yugi and Jaden, they team up and defeat the Defiant Knights and their Duel Monster forms in a rematch. The other Signers help Jaden's friends battle the Duel Monster Defiant armies.
Specific Battle:
Yugi/Dark Magician, Jaden/Elemental Hero Neos, and Yusei/Stardust Dragon vs. Zealoss/Magician of Dark Illusion/Ebon Illusion Magician, Grapplo/Evil HERO Malicious Edge/Evil HERO Malicious Fiend, Dragoon/Stardust Spark Dragon/Stardust Chronicle Spark Dragon. (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
-During a SOUJA drone attack, a wounded Kazu saves Guardromon and Kiyoko from a crossfire and gets shot. Kazu dies. Enraged, Guardromon annihilates the SOUJA drones. The other Tamers will learn of this and grieve over their friend's passing. This won't be the only Tamer to fall sadly.
-Kensuke arrives on location like a man on a mission. He quickly makes short work of Michael's bodyguards but leaves them unconscious.
-The Kuipers (except Sedna since she's going after Cain with the founders), Angemon X, and Neo Kuipers confront Christina's father (who already has plans of overthrowing Cain. They are business enemies in the past.), the Bizarro Senshi, and Christina's father's organization. Christina's father also has pedophile traits such as threatening Athena. During the battle, Christina's father forces the Bizarro Senshi to merge with him to become a jellyfish abomination (to renew Christina's fear of the box jellyfish) with the stinging tentacles shaped like each Bizarro Senshi as a final attempt to kill his daughter and even constrict her for torture (This time, no one is saving her unlike Cross Generations Ch 28). However, Orcus becomes so furious (in overcoming her fear of jellyfish) that her anger reaches beyond its peak and screams more furiously with bold/capitalized dialogue (greater than Skuld) than at Zeed X. Her appearance changes to a combination of her Platinum Orcus and Sailor O appearances, which will be called Platinum O - Obscurity Mode. Platinum O OM's personality will be enough to truly scare Skuld/Helragna and the readers (and connect to Orcus's (YYGDM-01) hatred of why fan OCs, especially in YYGDM-01 and Kensuke (XLR-8) become irrelevant/obscure in the eyes of average readers). She would have gotten this form in Cross Generations Ch 28 had her friends did not save her, but it will finally be shown in Defiants.), and will proceed to brutally beat down her father (Thankfully, she doesn't kill him because Kensuke (despite since that the darkness of GranDracmon is where it originated from Christina's father) stopped her from doing so), while black and white holes materialized in almost destroying the YYGDM-01 dimension. Some of these black/white holes are made out of Platinum O OM's blood to show her self entitled attitude. Even Orcus intends to tamper with the Galaxy Cauldron to make YYGDM-01 remain relevant for eternity. It took Kensuke to finally calm (and even force him to fight his rampaging girlfriend. So it's briefly Dramon X vs. Platinum O OM) Orcus down, and Orcus (who keeps the memories of that destructive form) sees the full-out horror of her actions (alongside reminding her that she destroyed countless dimensions thanks to Zeed X, but it was still her own bloodied hands) despite after she loses against Venus before the confrontation against her father. That's the reason why Sailor Orcus should not be normal after Venus defeated her because her internal conflict is not truly over yet.
-After Platinum O OM splits the jellyfish abomination, Michael is left at his daughter's mercy. The Bizarros are then killed off by the Kuipers. Sailor Andes attempts one last attack on Kensuke, who effortlessly kills Andes off for good. Kensuke is entirely focused on Orcus and her father.
-My past responses to Chaosblazer back in 2019: "As neat as that idea is, Chaos, but we already got this Orcus and Ken conflict covered. Orcus is going to take on a mass destruction form enough to wipe the world (as Ford already described). The form will be something akin to a giant jellyfish (an animal that nearly killed Christina during childhood). Before that though, Sailor O fights Sailor Venus and it'll be something similar to what you described (and that fight between Batman and Red Hood). Sailor V beats Sailor O and tries to talk her into breaking out of her abhorrent state of mind. Orcus refuses and will let her anger corrupt her, ultimately changing her into that destructive form to kill her father and preparing to wipe out the Kuipers. Then, Kensuke can come to help the Kuipers during this battle to save Orcus. And just as Ken is about to mercy kill Orcus, Sedna intervenes and acts as the mediator. Then, Ken and Orcus can have their talk and start the healing process. I also see a moment during this when Orcus' blonde hair dye dissolves as her natural brown returns. Her cold detached eyes regain their light. And her Sailor O uniform turned into a princess dress. That'll be the symbolic moment when 'Sailor O' dies and Sailor Orcus returns (though, it'll be a long road before she becomes a true happy go lucky girl). Ken could still don the 'light hood' and take out (but not kill) the people who've wronged Orcus."
-After a huge struggle, her friends manage to reach Orcus. Orcus transforms into her princess form, which changes her hair from blonde back to its natural brown. This signifies Christina's transition back to Sailor Orcus and seeks to start rebuilding her character. (Ford's response: Happening after Michael is defeated.)
-Ford's addendum: "Oh and karma for Christina's father's group's fates after the Defiants/YYGDM-01 conflict; because these corrupted men have sex with these Bizarro clones, the Bizarro Senshi have secretly given them STDs to slowly infect them (and them letting out sickening coughs) without cure until they die (Oh, and these STDs give them 'immortality', meaning they cannot commit suicide (nor someone kills them) since the STDs would heal their death wounds and allow the process to continue giving them pain until they die from the terminal diseases). Michael Denton (YYGDM-01)'s gives this realistic death as a suitable punishment, unlike letting him live. Christina confronts her dying father one last time by giving him the most hateful stare before leaving him to die."
-Chaosblazer also had a wacky idea of wanting to erase people (and Michael)'s memories and keeping Orcus's identity a secret again, but that doesn't align with Defiants (YYGDM-01)'s 'Nothing is the Same Anymore' narrative. Even Spider-Man: No Way Home's ending handles Peter's identity being erased in the world better as a 'Nothing is the Same Anymore' theme (and Peter having to start over).
Specific battles:
The Kuiper Senshi (minus Sedna), Dimitri/Angemon X, and the Neo Kuipers vs. Michael Denton, the Bizarro Senshi, and Michael's organization. (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
The Kuipers, Angemon X, the Neo Kuipers, and Kensuke/Dramon X vs. Platinum O - Obscurity Mode. (Scene & dialogue)
Dramon X vs. Platinum O - Obscurity Mode. (Scene & dialogue)
Regarding the fate of the Blood Senshi, Rei's father, and the Yami Houou symbiote:
-The Blood Senshi conflict will be slightly similar to the Blood Guardians in Shin-YYGDM but the confrontations and fights will be more fleshed out. The Blood Senshi will have more screen time than the Blood Guardians did. Unlike Shin-YYGDM where they were created by Paradius, the Blood Senshi are also created in Cain Bearer's lab combining the blood of the Sailor Senshi and a sample from Igasu's body. Igasu the Blood Moon's personal feud with Sailor Moon will be resolved and end for good. The Blood Senshi's demise plays out just like the Blood Guardians, except Igasu will have last words for Sailor Moon before she ceases. The other Sailor Senshi kill off their Blood Senshi counterparts for good.
-Neo Moon finds Sailor Moon and helps her fight and defeat Igasu the Blood Moon.
-As for Rei's father and the Yami Houou symbiote situation, Sailor Mars uses the Houou's power to remove the symbiote and purify the piece. The Houou then absorbs the purified pieces, which enhances and restores her full power. This results in her becoming White Houou Mars. After Yami Ghidorah is defeated, Rei and her father finally reconcile. Rei's father goes into rehabilitation afterward.
Specific Battle (after Blood Senshi are defeated):
Houou Mars vs. Yami Houou Symbiote/Hiroaki. (Scene & dialogue)
The final confrontation with Cain
-After defeating their enemies, Sailor Moon, Gallantmon, Yusuke, Yugi, KaiserGreymon, Sailor Sedna, and Brunhilde head toward CainCorp to confront Cain.
-With Grace (Shin-YYGDM) killed by Charon (Shin-YYGDM), there's the question of Yami Ghidorah (YYGDM-01)'s presence will loom (and spreading lies of him 'infecting' every superpowered being) being the true mastermind of the Defiants conflict this makes me wonder if a presence of Yami Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) (and spreading lies of him 'infecting' every superpowered being) being the true mastermind of the Defiants conflict be the one that kills Grace (YYGDM-01)? My answer: Yami Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) does kill Grace (YYGDM-01).
-Following Grace (YYGDM-01)'s death, Cain (YYGDM-01) will storm the laboratory with Trask (YYGDM-01) and the scientists and confront the SOUJA Prime (YYGDM-01). He will exhibit more insane paranoia and act furiously than his Shin-YYGDM self, to the point he continues screaming in bold/capitalize mantra of killing every infected superpowered being and even physically beats Trask (YYGDM-01) that shocks the scientists to the point of being afraid of Cain (YYGDM-01)'s insanity.
–Like in Shin-YYGDM, Trask (YYGDM-01) will still merge with the old SOUJA Prime, likely the same one seen in the final chapter of West Coasters, or a different one (the one that Cain uses its core to merge with). But instead of Jeremiah (Shin-YYGDM) who forces Trask (YYGDM-01) to merge with the SOUJA Prime body. It's going to be Cain (YYGDM-01) himself being so petty as to force his scientist to merge with SOUJA Prime, while Cain (YYGDM-01) then uses the core to merge with it.
-The West Coasters, Dirk, and the Valkyries (Sigrun, Skogul, and Gondul) arrive after going through the gauntlet of SOUJA drones and Defiants. They briefly fight Trask/SOUJA Prime but lose badly. All but Marty remain standing. That is when the YYGDM-01 founders arrive on time and quickly defeat SOUJA Prime.
Specific Battles:
The West Coasters, Dirk, and Valkyries (sans Brunhilde and Skuld) vs. SOUJA Prime. (Summarized)
Sailor Moon, Guilkatomon, Yusuke, Yugi, KaiserGreymon, Sedna, and Brunhilde vs. SOUJA Prime. (Summarized)
-The complete founder roster of fighting Cain (YYGDM-01): Sailor Moon, Takato/Guilkatomon, Yusuke, Yugi, KaiserGreymon, Sedna, Brunhilde, and Marty.
More key scenes and dialogue from Defiants:
The YYGDM leaders (Sailor Moon, BlazeGallantmon, Yugi Muto, Yusuke Urameshi, Valkyrie Brunhilde, Sailor Sedna, KaiserGreymon, and Marty Stonebagel) make a final stand with an insidious figure emerging from the smoke. Dark blue eyes pierced through the smoke. The obscured shadow chuckled and spoke in a voice similar to Cain's but it sounded distorted and seemingly merged with another being.
"Welcome, heroes. You're just in time for the end of your world."
-SOUJA-Cain (YYGDM-01): With the cables from his body getting detached and ripped apart, the amalgamated entity emerged from the thick smoke. Standing before them is a tall humanoid man covered in brightly-colored, full-bodied aqua blue, gold, and purple alloy armor. They recognized the individual being Cain Bearer, whose head was now encapsulated in a layer of clear blue skin. Infused on the man's forehead are two glowing white orbs. His dark blue eyes meticulously scanned the leaders with murderous intent.
Sailor Moon, Guilkatomon, Yusuke, Yugi, KaiserGreymon, Sailor Sedna, Brunhilde, and Marty vs. SOUJA-Cain. (Scene & dialogue)
-Cain (YYGDM-01)'s breakdown is a thousand times worse than his Shin-YYGDM self, to the point he (YYGDM-01) does a lot of 'Madness Mantra' comic book breakdown dialogue such as saying "SUPERHEROES! SUPERHEROES! SUPERHEROES! SUPERHEROES!"
-In an act that nearly would have resulted in the YYGDM-01 leaders becoming dictators (the one Zeed X warned Cain about), SOUJA-Cain nearly kills Takuya but Takato/Guilkatomon manages to stop SOUJA-Cain just in time and almost gets killed.
-Now we know that SOUJA-Cain (YYGDM-01) tries to absorb more energy from SOUJA, till the power overloads him like his Shin-YYGDM self, allowing the YYGDM-01 heroes to defeat him.
-As Cain is lying prone and defeated, a dark portal opens up and tells Cain that his efforts have fallen in vain. The voice from the portal speaks in a deathly ominous tone. Dark flames akin to the Yami Houou's cloak materialize and two red glowing eyes open inside the portal. The voice calls out to Sailor Moon and declares her impending demise. Moon recognizes the dark power and voice but can't believe it. The true final villain emerges, Yami Ghidorah.
Digimon Fusion Kai/Ascendancy (DF-616) Ascendants and other characters confirmed:
-We know from DF-616's side: Omega X, Metalla X, Max, Burizalor, the Digital Warlord, and AlphaNova X (DBS Broly expy) will be confirmed to appear in Defiants.
Dialogue from the DF-616 showing up in Defiants:
Omega X, Metalla X, Max, Burizalor, the Digital Warlord, and a few others appear in the middle of Tokyo. They scanned the ravaged areas where the Defiant war had taken place.
"You sense that, Tai?" Max asked Omega X, who closed his eyes.
"Yeah, that great darkness you, Burizalor, and the Warlord sensed is here. It's close," Omega X confirmed their suspicions. "And it's going to appear soon. We better find the others."
-On top of the Ascendants giving a hand against Yami Ghidorah, AlphaNova X fights a GalacticNova X Yami clone. During the ensuing chaos, Burizalor and Warlord infiltrate Aya's ship. The two temporarily take over and use it to attack Yami Ghidorah's forces. Burizalor confronts Zagato, leading to a meeting between Corrupts. Burizalor thinks lowly of Zagato while Zagato is surprised the foolish tyrant is still arrogant as ever and hasn't forgotten being cast away by their kind for being a 'defective weakling'.
-With Yami Ghidorah's name and spoiler expose, yes, the first chapter of Defiants/YYGDM-01 is also going to reveal him and his name much earlier (alongside revealing Apophis being assimilated in that first chapter) as the true mastermind since the fanfic surprise (unlike Zeed X, whose identity remains hidden until late in CG) is no longer shown anymore. That means for Grace (YYGDM-01)'s death, Yami Ghidorah's name is an unmarked spoiler revealed in the story text. Likewise with the Valkyries (YYGDM-01) curing Andrea (YYGDM-01) of his control that Yami Ghidorah's name is also unmark spoiled revealed.
–That also wonders if some of the assimilated Yami villains (YYGDM-01 and DF-616) will be used in the first half of Defiants/YYGDM-01 (as a loose tribute to the Seven Sinful Rulers, J-Reaper, and Millenniummon's Digimon army of Shin-YYGDM) (All the Digimon-related villains: the Demon Beast Generals/Dark Kirin, Madoudramon/ValmarMadoudramon (he'll be the last opposing Digimon villain standing in loosely being like Lucemon X (Shin-YYGDM) being the last opposing Digimon villain standing), Basiliskmon, Necromon, Ryuukoutsuseimon, Dark Legendary Warriors/NegaSusanoomon, Impmon (DF-616), Devas/YamiHuangDevamon (DF-616) and ArchaicKamemon being used; especially relating to the Digital World's role that the Defiants take part and the Tamers/Kotori/Adora's involvement), and the rest of the assimilated Yami villains (as in the non-Digimon villains: Apophis, Arago, Kiryu, Demento, Kuiiza, Kujiko) will appear in the climax? Another way of trimming the fat. Using the Digimon villains first before the non-Digimon villains feels like a loose tribute to back in WoP/Redux when the main villains are Digimon-related like Pharaohmon, just before in Rajita onwards that showed non-Digimon villains taking over the main villain roles.
-(K's response: I think we can introduce and incorporate the assimilated Yami villains in the first half. Yeah, they can be the Digimon-related villains to set up the arrival of Yami Ghidorah. You'd have the Defiants and then these Yami entities popping up. The characters would be confused about why these revived villains are back, and they question why they sense odd dark energies from them. Then, you have the rest of the non-Digimon villains show up when Yami Ghidorah is ready to reveal himself.)
-Omegamon, Athenamon, and Imperialdramon are central figures in the Digital World Defiant War. They also help stop the Yami Digimon villains.
–Ford's revelation: Yami Ghidorah's base and Kaijuu forms will be described here as a preview of what to expect: His base form is more powerful than Zeed X, and his Kaijuu form is more powerful than GranZeed X and Envoy of Xeed. In general, he's more powerful than Kensuke, Slade Matrix, and the Young Guns. :P His Kaijuu form has an official name called Eternity Apex. The crystals of his Kaijuu form do remind me of SpaceGodzilla and Super Godzilla, I remember ChaosMillenniummon's appearance is similar to SpaceGodzilla, then Yami Ghidorah takes back his place in showing he's the originator of Kaijuu forms. Yami Ghidorah (Base and Kaijuu)'s armor color is white like Monster X (Final Wars). Yami Ghidorah (Base and Kaijuu)'s skin/body/scale color is charcoal gray giving the feeling of Godzilla (especially the original 1954). Yami Ghidorah (Base and Kaijuu)'s eye color is completely pupilless white like Godzilla (GMK) relating to his fully malevolent nature (and relating how Godzilla (GMK)'s body being possessed by the souls of humans that died in WW2, does coincide how Yami Ghidorah manipulating humanity and especially their minds and souls). Yami Ghidorah (Kaijuu)'s three right crystals are colored yellow, blue, and green (colors tributing the JOEs (Power, Mind, Soul) that Chaos created in Ch 1 of Apophis Rising). Yami Ghidorah (Kaijuu)'s three left crystals are colored pink, purple, and orange-red (colors tributing the JOEs (Time, Space, Reality) that Cosmos created in Ch 1 of Apophis Rising). Yami Ghidorah (Kaijuu)'s back crystal triangle is colored golden with red three triangle points (colors tributing the Romulus Source). Even though he didn't use the JOEs and Romulus Source, these colors relate to Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) 's sole personal omniversal megalomania of reclaiming his place as the most powerful villain in all your fanstories. You can say that Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) casts a long shadow on not just YYGDM-01, but all of fanstories as a whole by the end of your fanfic career.
Yami Ghidorah's base form: Emerging from his dark confinement, the mastermind behind the Yami manifestations stood before his adversaries. His malignant presence brought horror and dismay to the heroes. A purely malignant aura of power resonated through the reconstituted abomination. His footsteps created tremors that invoked trepidation over his foes and sent chills through their bodies. Standing over 3 meters, he appeared menacingly and shrouded in a black fiery aura that radiated over his massive frame and melted his surroundings. The nature of his black aura resembled Yami Houou's malicious fiery cloak, which had been the catalyst of his initial demise, and had now imbued him with new calamitous power.
Looking like he had stepped out of a volcanic mouth, Yami Ghidorah's massive and frightening frame is covered in rock-hard steel-gray skin and scales, contrasting the dark aura that radiated over him. Underneath the charcoal gray armor and outer skin are layers of scalier and lighter gray complexion. Adorning his shoulders, wrists, and legs are charcoal gray armor with spikes jutting outward. Yami Ghidorah's long tail ended with three-forked tails covered with spikes. His feet have black claws, sharp enough to rip and crush the earth under him. The evil one's face is concealed in a charcoal steel gray-schemed helmet and mask. Peering through his mask are pupilless white eyes, which resonated with his pure malevolence nature. Jutting through the front sides of his mask are long, curved black horns that were longer and wider than his head.
The reanimated Yami Ghidorah had resurfaced after nearly ten years with a new body developed to initiate his vengeance on his adversaries.
As he walked forward a few steps, Yami Ghidorah's malevolent aura melted his surroundings and set his sights on his enemies.
Yami Ghidorah's first dialogue of his long-awaited (and near two decades-long return in real-life) return with references to Darkseid in Final Crisis and Ch'rell in the last part: "I am the infinite, absorbing the flames of Yami Houou, all is one in Ghidorah. This mighty body is unlimited. When I command your surrender, I speak with infinite voices. When I make a fist to crush your resistance, it is with infinite hands. When I stare into your eyes and shatter your dreams. And break your heart. It is with infinite eyes! Nothing like Kaiser Ghidorah has ever come among you: Nothing will again. Nothing like Valmarmon, Arago, Paradais, Burizalor, Neo Grimhilde, Zeed X, and the Defiants will stop me! I will take you to an eternal hell without exit, make you crawl and beg, and will murder your souls! Die for Yami Ghidorah! My time has come... to RIIIIIIIISSSSEEEE!"
Chapter 5 Outline/Spoilers: Yami Ghidorah's Return
—In the chapter for the climax/final battles against Yami Ghidorah, in the A/Ns of being burned down by the black flames before the chapter begins, my A/N lets out the despair and hopelessness of what to do of Ghidorah's flames being out of control until Takeru Cage's A/N encourages me to not give up and keep on writing to finish the story and resolving my most personal enemy/my OC (Ghidorah). It's me talking to myself of hope rekindles that relates to Defiants/YYGDM-01 being the final fandom story in life and returning to the past to resolve personal inner demons.
Yami Ghidorah's Kaijuu form: Having achieved his Kaijuu body and standing 110 meters tall, Yami Ghidorah transformed into a massive reptilian beast with a girth in his upper and lower body. His three tails became wider and thicker and covered with sharp dorsal spikes. His steel gray body armor stretched to fit his massive Kaijuu frame, although his face broke through his mask, revealing his long-snouted and monstrous beast-like features. The monstrous warlord retained his white-eyed piercing gaze. The black horns grew longer and curved outward, granting him a devil-like visage. Yami Ghidorah's back became covered with massive dorsal spikes and three shoulder multi-colored crystals. His right crystals are yellow, blue, and green while the left crystals are pink, purple, and orange-red. On his back is a golden crystal triangle with three red triangular points.
With an unrelenting bellow, Yami Ghidorah's roar invoked a shockwave that spread over the city and could be heard all over the planet. His shoulder crystals radiated with their multi-colored lights. As his black fiery aura expelled and spread out, he cast his apocalyptic flames to draw out his enemies and spread untold, wanton destruction over his surroundings.
–Ford's thoughts: I remember that Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) did not have named attacks back in the Invasion of the Rajita. Defiants/YYGDM-01 finally redeems this with Yami Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) having named attacks and calling out attacks with this list: Yami Effect (shooting Yami flame-like eye beams like Darkseid and back as Kaiser Ghidorah), Yami Apocalypse (fires a huge Yami energy blast from his hand in his base form, and from his mouth in his Kaijuu form like Godzilla's atomic breath), Yami Triangle (for his Kaijuu form's crystalline triangle on his back, it is his signature attack (and loosely remind of Zeed X's Millennia Epilogue, only Ghidorah's attack name (and other of his attacks) feels simple (than Zeed X's fantastical named attacks) yet more sober relating to its devastating effects) in his Eternity Apex state, Yami Ghidorah charges up with Yami flames powering up his six crystalline shoulder spikes (and their colors glow violently) and the seventh crystalline triangle (and the colors glow violently) volatility spins around until the three points/tips of the triangle fires three Yami destructive beams that are like Freeza/Burizalor's thin shaped death beams and the Death Star alongside Super Godzilla's Navel Blast), he can also combine his three triangle tip beams and Yami Apocalypse from his mouth (and even his chest like Super Godzilla's Navel Blast for double the devastation) for more supporting power.
–Ford's proposal: Besides being 100% written by you (with my and Lazer's trustworthy guidance) and not having co-scenes from Chaos in not making him use bad grammar out of character, Yami Ghidorah's presence averts the fan tie-ins inspirations. Zeed X back then by the time he took center stage as the final villain in CG in real-life 2018, Infinity War of bringing 'balance' and making people (and A/N) disappearing were used as inspirations alongside the 'Dramatic Finish!' back in FighterZ when that game was released in the same year that still felt like a tie-in of Dragon Ball in DFKai. Yami Ghidorah, on the other hand, because of averting/subverting these tropes relating to Defiants/YYGDM-01 being the final fandom story in life, he retains the faithfulness strictly relating to the retro/old school anime and others related to it, such as his Kaijuu form based on Godzilla (and name taken from Ghidorah of how he's the pure evil monster humans feared when he first appeared in the 1960s, the fact of how Toho created this monster is a monumental inspiration) remains a horrifying sight that marks human history since 1954 (and the seriousness remains horrific unlike GranZeed X's artistic over the top destruction mecha), and the Yami flames relates to both the Dark Phoenix and the horrific wildfires (and house/building fires, alongside how Ghidorah's flames will burn down the A/Ns, your fanfic profile, and other social media sites in surpassing Zeed X's making A/Ns disappearing) that humans experiences, Ghidorah ultimately want to do a complete makeover of making your omniversal layer his word becoming law relates to most powerful fictional villains' endgames in past histories like Darkseid, Ch'rell, and Shao Kahn (and averting the fan tie-in (and averting the counterpart of Zeed X's) Thanos's ultimate goal in Endgame); all this connects to the darkness of humanity of remain a serious topic more than Zeed X.
–Remembering Zeed X since he absorbed his Ryo, he has inherited his human flaws/weaknesses. Likewise with J-Reaper's gaining humanity's flaws and Cain's human body is still affected by the SOUJA energy overload. Yami Ghidorah is completely immune to all human flaws/weaknesses making him a lot more difficult to defeat than every previous villain/antagonist ever.
-Yami Ghidorah's ultimate endgame: revenge on the Houou and the Moon Clan. He may or may not want to unify the Jewels of Eternity, though since he's absorbed Apophis (Ford's reply: And I remember Apophis returns as Yami Apophis for Defiants' climax) maybe he'll change his mind (Lazer wasn't sure about the JOEs playing a pivotal role like in NU/TWC/AR).
-However, Yami Ghidorah manipulated Andrea through the Mind Jewel she holds (and is currently in The West Coasters' possession). She's been documented with strange behavior and speaks to a 'voice' in her mind. With Yami Ghidorah/Apophis controlling Andrea, he manipulates her to take TWC to fight in the Defiant War in Japan.
-Yami Ghidorah assimilates other beings (dead or alive) from the other dimensions linked to YYGDM-01. I know you (Ford) listed some examples from the Yami Forces section from the WotD Character Roster document.
-What if the 'Yami Great Beasts' are the Ghidorahs from the other YYGDM timelines and SM Galaxy Stars: the YYGDM-01 future, YYGDM-DE, and Sailor Moon Galaxy Stars? The trio then gets turned into the Yami Great Leviathan, the Yami Great Behemoth, and the Yami Great Ziz. Yami Ghidorah uses the remains of his alternate counterparts to unleash hell on YYGDM-01. The Yami Great Beasts are equivalent to the Three Rajita Warlords:
Yami Great Leviathan: the Ghidorah of the YYGDM-01 future (Usa and the Signers' future)
Yami Great Behemoth: the Ghidorah of YYGDM-DE (the Divine Enforcers timeline)
Yami Great Ziz: the 'Ghidorah' of the Sailor Moon: Galaxy Stars reality
-The Ghidorah that becomes Yami Great Leviathan will come from the YYGDM-01 future. This is a good enough reason for the 5Ds Signers to return to the past (Ford's reply: Besides Yusei fight the Paradais Knights again before that.). They ask Usa (older Chibiusa) to bring them to the past to help them stop that Ghidorah.
-(Ford's reply: That will be a neat idea of alternate versions of Ghidorah becoming these beasts. I imagine a what-if? battle of the Yami Great Beasts vs. Zealous Ziz/Grappler Behemoth/Abyss Leviathan, obviously the Yami Great Beasts would win.)
-Ford's commentary: Of Sailor Moon Galaxy Stars on indefinite hold, with Defiants being the series finale of fanfictions and remind of our real-life futures, I thought of just like Witchblade Sakura having one last involvement back in CG/Omniversal War before its cancellation, I wonder will Galaxy Stars be involved in YYGDM-01's series finale as both a stealth sequel and a fully absorbed finale. Like I imagine Yami Ghidorah's presence affecting the Galaxy Star dimension, and I recall a version of Ghidorah exists in Galaxy Stars. I remember last year (2019) you mention the Great Leviathan, Great Behemoth, and Great Ziz for Defiants' final battles that these three are originally alternate versions of Ghidorahs, in-case since GCLK is no longer involved in YYGDM-01's Defiants with its Ghidorah being recruited by Yami Ghidorah, how about replacing it with the Galaxy Stars version of Ghidorah? It's one of the reasons I've yet to mention it in the KP timeline that if there's a fifth update, I thought of mentioning Galaxy Stars to be put in the Stagnant Years section (Instead of the Legacy Years section (alongside Reincarnation Years obviously since that section is strictly official/pseudo-official) unlike Shin-YYGDM/Ascendancy). It also comes meta full circle for that stealth sequel/fully absorbed finale since we remember Cain and his company alongside the SOUJA first made their debuts in Galaxy Stars before their YYGDM-01 versions made their major debuts, alongside how it can meta relate to YYGDM-01's reputation due to Sailor Moon remains the biggest focus of the four animes.
-(My response: Yes, I remember this idea of Yami Ghidorah using the remains of his counterparts for himself. There is a Ghidorah that exists in Galaxy Stars. Wow, I haven't worked on that fic in ages (since 2009!). I'm not sure I'd categorize it under Stagnant Years, because I haven't worked on it at all since 2009. And it's too 'dead' of a fic to be classified as a Legacy title. This could be a case where I might do a summarized chapter about the remaining Galaxy Stars story, leading to that story's end battle. Shin-YYGDM has certainly shown that I can tell an OVA-length story that highlights and glosses over events. AnGC will also provide enough practice for me, too. This could stealthily wrap up GS with some kind of conclusion. Unlike Witchblade Sakura where I had lost interest in the Naruto franchise, my fandom for Sailor Moon never really died completely.)
-Yami Ghidorah assimilates villains of YYGDM-01 such as Apophis, Basiliskmon (for Brunhilde to properly kill him finally for the first time), Madoudramon, the Demon Beast Generals, Necromon (for Skuld to kill him), Melancholia, Arago, Kiryu & Demento and DF-616 baddies such as the Dark Legendary Warriors and the Devas, Impmon/Beelzebumon (DF-616) (for Impmon/Beelzebumon (YYGDM-01) to fight and free his counterpart instead of killing him), a Yami clone of GalacticNova X named YamiGalacticNova X to fight AlphaNova X to become Yami agents. Burizalor and the Digital Warlord are about to be ensnared only to escape safely. Ryuukoutsuseimon of YYGDM-01 will be assimilated to become a Yami in Defiants as YamiRyuukoutsuseimon. ArchaicKamemon returns as YamiArchaicKamemon. The Demon Beast Generals fuse to become the Dark Kirin (for the Golden Kirin to fight). Dark Legendary Warriors fuse to become NegaSusanoomon (for Susanoomon to fight) and the Devas (DF-616) fuse to become YamiHuangDevamon (for Suzie's HuangDevamon to fight).
-Both Daimaomons (DF-616 and YYGDM-01) are also assimilated to become Yamis and can learn to fuse into SuperDaimaomon (I remember it tributes my Dawn of Ghidorah fic). One of the songs played is from Kakuranger in relating to how I compare Daimaou to Piccolo Daimao/Daimaomon.

Digiteams vs. YamiMadoudramon Hazard Mode (Madoudramon/ChaosGallantmon fusion). (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
-One moment in mind: Guilkatomon punching through SuperDaimaomon, ala Kid Goku killing Piccolo Daimao.
-During a fight with Yami KazeByakkomon (of the Yami Demon Beast Generals), Jeri saves Himakko and in a heartbreaking moment sacrifices herself to save her boyfriend. Enraged, Himakko beats KazeByakkomon. Felinismon and Leomon join in to help Himakko dismember KazeByakkomon, who has to be rescued by the other Yami Demon Beast Generals. Jeri's death will also enrage the other Tamers, driving them to finish their opponents off quickly.
-Ford's proposal: So I remember mentioning YamiMadoudramon Hazard Mode at the Defiants character roster. During the final battle against him, as the Digimon heroes deal enough damage that splits Madoudramon and ChaosGallantmon, having learned that Valmarmon cease to exist and the fact that Ninetalesuk's fan concepts are dated and AU is no longer being relevant to the Digimon fandom, Madoudramon as another example of refusing to move forward has an 'over the top' villainous breakdown in bold/capitalized that he frees himself from Yami Ghidorah's control and assimilates all the evil Digimon (such as the Yami Beast Generals and Yami Legendary Warriors that the Beast Tamers/Legendary Warriors defeated. That also includes ChaosGallantmon again.) for Madoudramon to become a 1,000 ft tall being (even bigger than Valmarmon TM) called ValmarMadoudramon.
(Ford's added remark "Wow...really?" (eyebrow towards Madoudramon unimpressed)). MahouGarurumon is involved in countering this that he assimilates all the good Digimon (including Omegamon and Shoutmon X7 Superior Mode) to become GranasMahouGarurumon (with the same height as his combined arch-enemy). After the final battle, both colossal size AU fanmade Digimon are killed (technically for the good Digimon, only MahouGarurumon is killed, but the rest of the good Digimon fused by him survive and continue the fight). ValmarMadoudramon attempts and idiotically tries to split himself into seven pieces
(Ford's added remarks: "Seriously? (unimpressed towards Madoudramon)),
but unlike Valmarmon in the past, this fails big time, as the good Digimon destroys the pieces easily and MahouGarurumon's spirit (and his taunts tributes Valmarmon taunting Pharaohmon inside his mind as a full circle) uses his power to finally sent Madoudramon (who is screaming with bold/capitalized dialogue during his final defeat/breakdown, and especially after being taunted by MahouGarurumon) and the other evil Digimon back to the underworld before MahouGarurumon goes to Digimon heaven.
—(My thoughts: Yet more examples of irrelevant bad guys trying to reclaim their former glory. Since Defiants is the end, half of the OC (specifically the Digimon) are getting wiped out. That'll show us which OCs really meant anything for the series. With Madoudramon and MahouGarurumon gone, the legacy of Valmarmon and Granasmon goes with them.)
Final Digimon-related Battle:
GranasMahouGarurumon vs. ValmarMadoudramon. (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
-During Yami Ghidorah's rampage, many buildings and other infrastructure are destroyed. The Tokyo Government Building (where HYPNOS resides) is destroyed, killing everyone, including Yamaki and his team.
Shin-YuYuGiDigiMoon's Role in Wrath of the Defiants:
–A dimensional traveler of YYGDM-01 (likely Ryo) will pick up the Shin-YYGDM group to help YYGDM-01 in the final battle. Shin-YYGDM has no connections of dimension traveling (with no dimension traveling characters)/Cosmos (YYGDM-01/Triad/Galaxy Cauldron (The Source)). Another idea is Sailor Moon (Shin-YYGDM) becomes Sailor Cosmos when fighting Yami Ghidorah, but of course, he's much stronger and overwhelms Sailor Cosmos (Shin-YYGDM), and this happens before Sailor Moon (YYGDM-01) becomes Sailor Cosmos a second time that's much stronger than her Shin-YYGDM counterpart.
-Shin-YYGDM characters to appear in YYGDM-01's Defiants against Yami Ghidorah (YYGDM-01)'s forces: Sailor Moon, Dukemon, Judai, Sailor Sedna, Prince Sedna, Perseus, Justimon, Alice & Plutomon, Dorothel, Adam, Demona, Sailor Mars, Sailor Pluto, Sailor Venus, Volodramon, Time Thieves (Redoer, Winder, Perpetua), Sailor Star Healer, Yusuke, Yui, Kotori/Himura & Omegamon InuMizuchi, Adventure Digidestined & Omegamon Merciful Mode
-Demona meets Demona (YYGDM-01).
-Venus meets Venus (YYGDM-01). Venus (Shin-YYGDM) tells her YYGDM-01 counterpart that she already slew her universe's three Rajita Warlords.
-Sailor Moon (Shin-YYGDM) becomes Cosmos (Shin-YYGDM) against Yami Ghidorah (YYGDM-01). Despite her great efforts, Sailor Cosmos (Shin-YYGDM) will lose this battle, allowing Sailor Cosmos (YYGDM-01) to take her place.
Digimon Fusion Kai/Ascendancy (DF-616)'s crucial roles in the final battle:
-Other ideas: DF-616 (Omega X, Max Kamiya, Metalla X, Burizalor, and the Digital Warlord) will be involved in the Defiants (YYGDM-01)'s climax. Burizalor is going to meet Zagato.
-Omega X and Metalla X will have turns fighting Yami Ghidorah. Dramon X invokes his Ascendancy Instinct (which according to Chaosblazer will be risky since this form takes a toll on Dramon X's body) and sends energy to others to give them strength. His AI power inflicts pain on Yami Ghidorah. Omega X also goes AI. Metalla X will utilize Ascendancy Ego. Golden Burizalor/Apocaly X gets a chance to fight Yami Ghidorah, which doesn't end well for the golden tyrant.
-Specific battles:
Golden Burizalor/Apocaly X and the Digital Warlord (ends in a curbstomp in Yami Ghidorah's favor) vs. Yami Ghidorah. (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
Omega X AI/Ascendancy Instinct, Metalla X AE/Ascendancy Ego, and Max Kamiya (not a curbstomp fight but a tough battle for the Ascendancts) vs. Yami Ghidorah. (Scene & dialogue)
AlphaNova X vs. YamiGalacticNova X (think Z Broly vs. Super Broly). (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
-This will be the final hurrah of the Trinity. For the DF-616 cast, this is set after the AlphaNova X movie adaptation, the Tournament of Power adaptation, and the probable 'Moromon arc'. This direction will hopefully give me time to build up to a proper place for this final Trinity team-up.
-Kensuke's AI energy gives Omega X, Metalla X, and AlphaNova X power boosts during their fights.
-After the Defiants/YYGDM-01 conflict, Burizalor and the Warlord will return to their native DF-616 universe. Warlord returns to the afterlife while Burizalor, having acquired tech from Aya's spaceship and a piece of Zagato, will enhance his Buriza Forces in future conflicts against the Ascendants and when laying siege to other worlds. He may even create a Zagato clone that's stronger than the original.
Zagato and Aya, the Harbingers of the Defiant War
-References earlier, Zagato and Aya played roles in warning about the forthcoming Defiant War. Ever since warning the heroes about a 'Defiant War' in 2008 (in-universe time) in Summer Diaries/Special Edition, Zagato and Aya left a lasting reminder that a war that would destroy their future due to Ryo and Sailor Sedna (YYGDM-01)'s presence. Aya quickly collects Ryo and Sedna, telling them that it turns out that it's their failure to prevent Marty Stonebagel's assassination that caused the rise of a global Defiant War. By saving Marty in this reality, they've ensured the Defiant War stays within Japan and doesn't escalate further. However, this results in Yami Ghidorah resurfacing and bringing forth the global crisis instead.
-Aya warned the heroes that preventing one of the Founders (Takuya or anyone else in the elite seven) from getting killed by Cain has brought forth Yami Ghidorah to their world. If any one of them had died, the surviving Founders would've become the Divine Enforcers and established a global dictatorship. After defeating their 'Yami Ghidorah' in their YYGDM-DE timeline, the Divine Enforcers would firmly establish themselves as feared rulers. This Ghidorah, left for dead in a pocket dimension, would be pulled from his world, brought into the main YYGDM-01, and converted into the Yami Great Behemoth to become the main timeline's Yami Ghidorah's weapon of destruction.
-Zagato and Aya Tsuki are making their return in the YYGDM-01 Defiants crisis and help stop Yami Ghidorah. After Yami Ghidorah is defeated, Aya Tsuki will return to dimension traveling and Zagato will largely remain operating as her computer.
-This is where Ford and I discussed having Omega X and Metalla X return just in time for Yami Ghidorah's ascension. Their reason for coming? Yami Ghidorah tried to telepathically lure DF-616's most diabolical villains, Burizalor and the Digital Warlord, to assimilate them. Unlike others who've fallen into his trap, these two had enough strong will to resist. The gods of the universe (Beerusmon, Whismon, Sovereigns, etc) sense a terrible vibe and summon several of the heroes to discuss an 'evil entity' that's breaching their dimension. The Ascendants and co. assume it's Zeed X, but ZX is confirmed gone. Beerusmon, having fought the Houou in her universe, tells them the nature of this entity feels similar to the cosmic bird. Burizalor eventually meets with them and tells them about his 'encounter' with Yami Ghidorah (who isn't named through their interactions). Burizalor suggests fetching the Warlord from the afterlife as he was able to hear Warlord's thoughts during the telepathic links. In a Lex Luthor teaming with the Justice League moment, Burizalor and Warlord join Omega X, Metalla X, and Max Kamiya to investigate YYGDM-01, which Whismon confirms is the point of origin where the evil entity communicated from. This is DF-616's final hurrah crossover with YYGDM-01 before YYGDM-01 undergoes the global de-power.
-Aya and the Arcadian Cross (w/Zagato serving as the computer's ship) are the ones to warn the heroes of the impending Defiant War. They will return. Everything comes full circle. Also, for Zagato, it's full circle as he's reunited with Burizalor, both of whom were rivals vying for control of the Digiverse. While Zagato was dislodged from his native DF-616, he fell into a rift and ended up in a space-time Nexus where he was ultimately found by Angelia, who'd later become Aya. Burizalor, who had been revived by Zeed X and enjoying his third lease on life, mocks Zagato's state and wants to commandeer the Arcadian Cross ship to destroy Yami Ghidorah for daring to assimilate him.
-Psyche (Daiki's AI girlfriend) has the Soul Jewel. Her far-future daughter, Aya Tsuki, returns with Zagato as her ship's computer.
-(Ford's repose: Andrea has the Mind Jewel. I remember Scott has the Space Jewel. Neo Moon I remember has the Time Key that's inside the Time Jewel.)
Other Non-Digimon Yami Battles
-The Spirit Detectives battle Yami Arago, Yami Kiryu, and Yami Demento. After Yami Arago and Kiryu are defeated, Arago reveals Yui's Tenyou predecessor was named Kagura and warns he still intends to return in the far future for the final Taiyoukai War. Yui/Shaka is taken aback with shock when her recent visions have confirmed this to be true.

Hiei, Kurama, Rio, Mizuno, and Brimstone vs. Yami Kiryu. (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
Kuwabara and Aoshi vs. Yami Demento. (Summarized)
-Nagah and her Neo-Rajita compatriots note Ghidorah's presence on Earth and return to join the fight against their former dictatorial lord. Blitzkrieg and Ronx, one of Nagah's newest commanders, join Nagah to find the Sailor Senshi, the captive Neo-Rajita, and her adopted daughter Lien.
-Upon entering Japan, they run into Kuiiza and Kujiko, who've been turned into Yami pawns. With help from the Senshi, they help Nagah defeat the two former Rajita generals. Kujiko is freed from Yami Ghidorah's control and sides with Nagah.
-The West Coasters and Neuromancer/Dirk join this battle. Scott and Dirk use their Space and Reality Jewels to defeat Kuiiza. Kuiiza retreats.
-Sailor Varuna and Blitzkrieg tease a rematch since their last encounter but end up working together.
-In a big shocker, Melancholia returns as a Yami warrior and fights the Kuiper Senshi, Nagah, Blitzkrieg, and Kujiko. He does not fight with Kuiiza and wants to finish his opponents by himself. Yami Melancholia briefly absorbs the Jewels of Eternity, reaching a new Transcendent State. He manages to overpower the Senshi, Nagah's group, and the West Coasters. With his power dangerously close to Yami Ghidorah's level, the Sailors and Kuipers reach their Princess states. Marty uses his nullification wave to neutralize Melancholia, allowing the West Coasters to push the JOEs out of him. With the JOEs removed, Glacialis Sedna slays Yami Melancholia again. The JOEs are returned to their original holders.

-Yami Apophis acquires and uses the Staff of Apophis replica.
-Ford's question: Which characters (besides if Galaxia will return?) will fight Apophis and how will Apophis finally be killed instead of being sealed/imprisoned?
-(K's response: I'd imagine the Duelists (Yugi and co.) and maybe the Sailor Starlights since they'll be helping Galaxia to resolve their past grievances. Galaxia helps conjure the Egyptian Gods for Yugi. After Atem grants their wish, Yugi uses the Egyptian Gods to battle Apophis. Galaxia merges with Egyptian Gods to become Horakhty Ma'at to finish off Apophis.)
-By the end of the war, the Staff of Apophis is destroyed, effectively ending the Duel Monster/Spirit Fused Defiant productions.
The Duelists (w/Egyptian Gods), the Starlights, Sailor Kinmoku, and Sailor Galaxia vs. Yami Apophis. (Scene & dialogue/Summarized)
The final battle against Yami Ghidorah, Ora Guardians, Romosmos & Remaos
-Sailor Moon, Houou Mars, and BlazeGallantmon fight the Yami Great Leviathan, the Yami Great Behemoth, and the Yami Great Ziz before facing Yami Ghidorah, who's busy contending with the Ascendants first.
-(My response: Those three are the best choices to finish Yami Ghidorah off for good. They are, after all, the three deeply involved in the Ghidorah and Yami Houou conflict. Houou Mars gets to willfully destroy him w/o Yami Houou controlling her. Takato gets to destroy him for all the misery he had to go through with Yami Houou. Moon also gets the right to partially finish off YYGDM!Ghidorah (fulfilling the circle of her killing him after all the crap he put her through in Invasion of the Rajita).)

Houou Mars vs. Yami Great Behemoth. (Summarized)
BlazeGallantmon vs. Yami Great Ziz. (Summarized)
-My commentary regarding Cammy's completed character journey in Defiants (YYGDM-01): Yeah, I think I am inspired to have Cammy complete her character journey as the Digital Priestess and become Neo Houou Eri in YYGDM-01's climax against Yami Ghidorah's forces.
-The origins and backstories of the Ora Guardians (YYGDM-01) are going to be revealed in YYGDM-01's series finale and having connections to the Kuiper Belts (YYGDM-01), alongside the Kuipers are going to ascend in becoming the new Ora Guardians (especially permanently at the end of the Sailor Wars), which they first gain these forms in Defiants' climax.
-And here are the Ora Guardians' origins and their role in YYGDM-01: The Ora Guardians (YYGDM-01) are cosmic beings who once governed the cosmos beyond the solar system. The concept behind them is originally abstract beings who observe universal events and at random moments in the universe's history have chosen avatars they possess. The Kuiper Belt Senshi (YYGDM-01), specifically Sedna, Varuna, Orcus, and Quaoar are the latest avatars for the Ora Guardians (YYGDM-01). At the end of Defiants (YYGDM-01), the Ora Guardians (YYGDM-01) finally confront and take the Kuipers as their avatars, enabling them to become the new Ora Guardians. Sailor Sedna becomes the new Sren. Varuna becomes the new Gythos. Orcus becomes the new Tomos. Quaoar becomes the new Cysta. Eris and Ixion are given power boosts (but no title names yet) and become extended Ora Guardians.
-The Kuiper's Ora Guardian forms are not true Sailor Senshi forms. They are extensions of the Ora Guardians (YYGDM-01)'s powers.
—-In real-life, how were the Ora Guardians first conceptualized (first thought of in the 2000s) during Invasion of Rajita's production? (My answer: The Ora Guardians were first conceptualized and based on abstract entities akin to Eternity, Infinity, Death, and Oblivion from the Marvel Universe and the Choushin from Tenchi Muyo!)
-My words back then: "I, too, feel the Kuipers should appear and fight as a full team against the final villain. They've been on this journey (in character development and being active heroes) since the Search for the Kuiper Belt Senshi. They are among the top representatives of the new generation of heroes. It's only right they fight together here against Ghidorah. Makemake and Haumea aren't important enough to join."
-After Dramon X sends enough power from his Ascendancy Instinct aura, he gradually exhausts himself, giving others who are still able to fight enhanced powers. The Sailor Senshi & Kuiper Senshi/Ora Guardians don their Princess forms and battle the Yami army. The Tamers, Susanoomon, the Spirit Detectives, the Duelists' Duel Monsters and Spirit Fusions, the Ascendants, and Brunhilde all gain power boosts to battle the Yami army. Eventually, the Sailor Senshi, Kuipers, the Tamers, Susanoomon, the Yugi/Jaden/Yusei tandem, the Ascendants, Brunhilde, and the Shin-YYGDM group attack Yami Ghidorah with an all-out assault.
Sailor Princesses, the Kuipers/Ora Guardians, the Advanced Beast Biomerged Tamers, Susanoomon, Yugi w/Egyptian Gods, Jaden w/Elemental Hero Neos & Yubel, Yusei w/Shooting Quasar Dragon, Mazoku Yusuke, Omega X AI, Metalla X AE, Angemon X/Dimitri (Rage), Brunhilde/Neo Frigg, Cammy/Neo Houou Eri, Volodramon, and the Shin-YYGDM heroes vs. Yami Ghidorah/Eternity Apex. (Scene & dialogue)
-Ford's proposal: Takato (YYGDM-01) as the all-important character is going to have his main hero status reaching its zenith, especially relating to fighting the final villain (Yami Ghidorah). Of course not telling further spoilers, other than the potential that Takato (YYGDM-01)'s final power-up will make him much more powerful than Ascendancy Instinct, Kensuke/Dramon X, Zeed X, and Universal X.
(My response: I guess that would make him the strongest hero at this moment, surpassing even Ascendancy Instinct (and also Kensuke, which I know you'd love to see happen, Ford).
-Ford's other proposal: Sailor Moon (YYGDM-01) becoming Cosmos two more times will become a lot more powerful than Zeed X, Universal X, Kensuke/Dramon X, and Ascendancy Instinct.
-(My response: Much like with Takato, I wasn't sure at first, but Sailor Moon is the embodiment of Cosmos and she can become Cosmos two more times before she passes on. It's only right since her light is what attracts Chaos and all the other eldritch creatures that endanger her, her friends, her fellow heroes, and her family. Yeah, she'll most certainly be the strongest hero when it's all said and done, which ends up costing her life. By the time she becomes Cosmos for the last time, Yami Ghidorah will have just been a distant memory and an inconvenience to her. By this point in her life, Moon will be tired from all the fighting and the bad guys coming after her. She'll want to rest and she'll get eternal rest when she passes away. "Yes, I've become so powerful, but at what cost? My life. For all of you to move forward, I must rest for good." And yes, I know part of your end game is to ensure Kensuke and Slade Matrix aren't the strongest at the end of YYGDM-01's timeline since they are classified as 'outsiders' of that universe.)
Ford's other 'mind-boggling' proposal: With the inspirations of Ultra Instinct, alongside Omega X (and Kensuke (XLR-8)) gaining Ascendancy Instinct, I thought of an extremely spoiler idea to be shown at the climax. It's just like how you mentioned Burizalor & Warlord appear in Defiants surprised me, I'm surprising you back.
(Having people sitting down in the conference room, and me taking a deep breath)
Okay, here it goes...
...
—Takato (YYGDM-01) (Note: The Corner version is not getting it, this is exclusive only to the YYGDM-01 canon version) is getting a similar power-up from Sailor Moon/Cosmos like Ascendancy Instinct/Ultra Instinct, only it is much more powerful called Lambda's Awakening (I mentioned this before in the Defiants mega thread, but is explaining the connection below).
(Laughter from myself and the conference room people)
Okay. "WTF, Ford? How is this idea going to work and fit in?" Well, I then thought of a big spoiler background of how it came to be.
At the beginning of your author's mind when Cosmos and Chaos are the first beings in existence when they clash in an eternal cycle, two beings created by Cosmos and Chaos are named Romosmos (Combined Romulus + Cosmos) and Remaos (Combined Remus + Chaos) respectively as their greatest champions, just like how Galactic X was Moinanea's champion against Zeed. Takes place before Xeed and the Time Demon race (alongside the concept of time, since Cosmos and Chaos (alongside The Source/Galaxy Cauldron) are older than time itself) are made. After their battles in inspiring Chaoskampf, both of Cosmos/Chaos' champions passed on, yet they are reincarnated in dimension YYGDM-01.
-Romosmos' reincarnation is revealed to be...Takato (YYGDM-01).
-Remaos' reincarnation is revealed to be...Kaiser Ghidorah (YYGDM-01) himself.
Now that I think of it/looking back, we don't know who are Ghidorah's parents other than that he started as a general (seen in the Gyaos & Nagah/Morpheous Gaiden). We can see his actual origins in Defiants climax. Having the name of Remaos, and the Romulus Source (We'll finally see the origins of it of how it's created/conceptualized in the first place), this is another hindsight of why Ghidorah desperately wanted that power to rule the universe. Now it'll make sense how Ghidorah becomes personal with Takato, and him becoming Yami Ghidorah also made him recall his past self besides wielding Yami Houou's flames.
-Romosmos and Remaos are more powerful than Universal X and GranZeed X, and are more powerful than Kensuke (finally allowing Takato to surpass him) and Slade Matrix. It's official. Takato/Lambda's Awakening (in linking to Romosmos) becomes OP. :D We thought that Yami Ghidorah is not as overpowered as Zeed X, but that changes in this reveal. Romosmos/Remaos's fight will shake the omniverse much more than SuperUniversal X/SuperGranZeed X.
-This. This concept is one of the reasons why the 'Omniversal Disclaimer:' is mentioned in the WotD first chapter. This is coming full circle of Takato (YYGDM-01)'s hero journey. This is also another factor for why Ghidorah needs the JOEs and the Romulus Source to return to his Remaos state. These are also full circle connections for the origins of the Ora Guardians (That Lazer will also know about the Kuipers) by Defiants climax (And another attempt for YYGDM to remain 'relevant' without moving forward). It is coming full circle that WoP begins with Gallantmon gaining a fanfic power-up (Shining Mode), then Takato gains a final fanfic powerup and also reveals he's the reincarnation of an incarnation of Cosmos that existed since the fictional omniverse's creation (Also relating to how Tamers is what first inspired the original DFusion in kickstart your fanfic career in the most meta literal possible leading to Defiants, and why Takato (YYGDM-01) will visit the canon Tamers dimension after the final battle (and before the global depower) to meet Takato (canon)). Of course, I don't know if you, Kanius, think this concept is appropriate (and we don't know what Lazer thinks). I also wonder about Takato's major role in the Sailor Wars.
-Romosmos and Remaos's sizes are way bigger than SuperUniversal X and SuperGranZeed X. In fact, their the size of your omniversal layer, as in Romosmos's size is half of your omniversal layer, while Remaos's size is the other half of your omniversal layer. :O :O
-(My response (With the discussions with Lazer has finally input on email to start 2020, we can finally be ready and properly talk about this long-awaited topic since I bring it to the docs back in 2019. We know we have yet to mention Lazer of the Galaxy Cauldron is The Source (of relating why Zeed X attempted to tamper with it) since Chaos didn't tell him about it even though The Source's name is mentioned in the final Gaiden and how it'll relate to Ghidorah's ultimate goal of how Ghidorah will successfully tamper the Source after Zeed X failed like although we mentioned to Lazer of Zeed X, we have yet to tell him in-depth of things like The Source/the Overseer and how they connect to Cosmos/Chaos/Ora Guardians.): Here's the big one. Yeah, I've had this on my mind for a while, but I get to address my thoughts on this idea. And to be honest, I wasn't sure from the beginning. I thought how can they (Romosmos and Remaos) be more powerful than Universal X and GranZeed X. I had thought Zeed X would've been the strongest villain and there wouldn't be any other villain to surpass him. Then you referenced the Romulus Source, which has been a conceptual power Ghidorah and his offspring have wanted (Gamera managed to achieve this briefly). It does tie everything together about Ghidorah's character. He'd get the chance to tamper with the Source, which would affect the future of YYGDM-01. For Takato, he has been established as the all-important character in YYGDM-01, undeniably more so than any other incarnation of the character. He was the first good guy to appear and he's been on this long journey (and facing countless growing pains) as a hero. He's so important that not only did he achieve Gallantmon's Shining Mode as the first fanon-related power-up, but we end Takato's journey with his final fanon power: Lambda's Awakening, and revealed to be a reincarnated aspect of Cosmos. I guess that would make him the strongest hero at this moment, surpassing even Ascendancy Instinct (and also Kensuke, which I know you'd love to see happen)
(Ford's reply: Yep, I actually laugh when Kensuke's name is mentioned as having some competition in power.).
You've even suggested this also ties in with the Ora Guardians. I mean, these are not the most far-fetched ideas I've seen and conceived myself. I've seen more controversial concepts. The concept does remind me of Raava vs. Vaatu from Legend of Korra's second season. Takato's involvement in the Sailor Wars is unknown because not every hero may not live to see Neo-Crystal Tokyo's rise due to the length of time across the millennium. Most would likely move to Neo-Crystal Tokyo and gain extended lives. Others may decide to stay behind and age normally. It's just a thought.)
My back in a Defiants mega thread: Don't worry, Lazer. Takato won't be broken from the whole Zeed X fallout. We've put that guy through enough torture. Valkyrie Advent was the last straw.
Ford's response: Defiants is not going to show Takato being broken again in keeping that promise. Takato still experiences depression issues since CG/PTSD and ever since he experiences his Shin-YYGDM counterpart Shin-YYGDM Arc III, and relates to the involvement of how the Defiants conflict affects/changes him, but eventually culminates his growth in the series finale in the climax (especially him tampering the Source and meeting the Overseer) and finally ending his story.)
-My follow-up: Takato has a near-death experience during the battle with Yami Ghidorah. This is the necessary catalyst that unlocks Lambda's Awakening and transforms him into Romosmos. It is revealed that Romosmos and Remaos fought over claim over the Romulus Source, the ultimate power in the universe, in the past. Their previous battle ended with no clear winner when they destroyed one another. Ghidorah's lineage is traced to ancient Rajita that worshipped Remaos and hoped that Remaos can be reborn as one of their own. Many millennia later, they got more than they bargained for when Remaos was born as Kaiser Ghidorah, whose obsession with the Romulus Source is linked to his former life as Remaos. In contrast, Romosmos was reborn on a backwater world in the form of a human boy (Takato), whose existence was minuscule compared to Ghidorah until he became a Tamer. Despite being Romosmos' reincarnation, Takato denies this fate and prefers to be 'Takato Matsuda' instead of a warrior of destiny. Choosing to fight as himself, Takato uses Romosmos' power to fight and defeat Ghidorah/Remaos.
-The Source/Galaxy Cauldron (since its appearance in DoC as the Galaxy Cauldron, and revealed the inner core as the Source in CG's climax) is going to make its reappearance in the climax of Defiants (also makes us wonder will the Overseer makes its reappearance (especially he might interact with Takato and his all-importance for his final power-up)?), and unlike the Paradais duo and Zeed X's failures, Yami Ghidorah finally gets the chance to tamper the Source, "He'd get the chance to tamper with the Source, which would affect the future for YYGDM-01." At the same time, as Yami Ghidorah tampers with the Source, Takato (YYGDM-01) surprisingly tampers with the Source as well. This will allow our dear gogglehead to meet the Overseer and culminate all of his developments as the all-important hero, leading to Takato/Moon/Mars to finally end Ghidorah's existence.
—-Yami Ghidorah suffers a villainous breakdown.
-The differences between Sailor Cosmos (YYGDM-01) and Sailor Cosmos (Shin-YYGDM): Cosmos (Shin-YYGDM) has no restrictions and is nerfed compared to her mainstream counterpart, while Cosmos (YYGDM-01) has three times more power which are unmarked spoilers (and already alluded back in the final Gaiden) will reveal that Sailor Moon (YYGDM-01) will invoke Cosmos' power two more times in Defiants. The first time in the Defiant climax and during the Sailor Wars in the far Neo-Crystal Tokyo future before her passes. In contrast, Shin-YYGDM's Sailor Wars in Crystal Tokyo will have her alive, and be ready for her and her friends to get involved in YYGDM-01's Defiants's climax in the future. Even mentioned by the time Sailor Cosmos (YYGDM-01) appears in YYGDM-01 Defiants' climax and Sailor Wars, Sailor Cosmos (YYGDM-01) will become more powerful than Zeed X and Universal X.
-Yami Ghidorah (and the one assimilated Apophis back in Apophis Rising's final chapter) plays the main villain role in Defiants (YYGDM-01)' climax after Cain (YYGDM-01) is defeated. Additionally, Yami Ghidorah is going to be a lot more powerful than Zeed X and Universal X.
-There were prior discussions about whether Ghidorah or Gamera would be chosen to be the climax villain of Defiants. Ultimately, Ghidorah was selected due to the Rajita Warlord being gone after a long time and maintaining his grudge against the Sailor Senshi and their allies. Gamera was chosen for CG's Fiction's Closure since he became less important over time.
-The final phase of fighting against Yami Ghidorah will involve the three heroes. These three will end his existence: Sailor Cosmos, White Houou Mars, and Guilkatomon.
Sailor Cosmos, White Houou Mars, and Guilkatomon/Romosmos vs. Yami Ghidorah/Eternity Apex/Remaos. (Scene & dialogue)
Key scenes and dialogue from the final moments of Yami Ghidorah vs. Sailor Cosmos, White Houou Mars, and Guilkatomon:
Raising his head, Yami Ghidorah roared. "NONE SHALL DEFEAT ME! I AM REMAOS! I AM THE SUPREME BEING IN THE UNIVERSE! THE OMNIVERSE SHALL KNEEL TO ME!" He screamed, swinging his massive tail again to send hurricane-like shockwaves that repelled most of his enemies away. Even the other groups that arrived to aid them were blown back.
Despite this, Sailor Cosmos fearlessly faced Ghidorah. Having stopped Chaos before, she wasn't going to let Remaos' reincarnated nightmare monster overtake her and her planet. Raising her Cosmos Tiare again, Sailor Cosmos primed herself for the last stand against Yami Ghidorah.
"Ghidorah, your biggest mistake was resurfacing, thinking you could suppress our wills and hope! I can hear the cries of the souls pitting their hopes on me and my friends! We won't let a monster like you take away our precious universe!" Sailor Cosmos openly declared.
"YAMI EFFECT!" Yami Ghidorah launched eye beams toward Sailor Cosmos. However, she deeply concentrated and invoked her Cosmos Crystal, which was channeled through her Cosmos Tiare.
"THAT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH, COSMOS!"
Sailor Cosmos sternly rebuked with the moon's light shining down behind her. "You're wrong! Your evil ways are over, Ghidorah! I am the Pretty Guardian who fights for love and for justice! I am Sailor Moon! And in the name of the Moon, I'll punish you!"
As Yami Ghidorah's destructive beams collided with Sailor Cosmos' concentrated crystal beam, White Houou Mars rose to the occasion and formed a fiery phoenix aura, which surrounded her. She took to the air and headed straight for Yami Ghidorah.
"Houou, give me all your strength!" White Houou Mars beckoned, flying and tearing through Yami Ghidorah's torso.
Seeing a pillar of cosmic flames burst out of his torso, Ghidorah bellowed. "AUGH! DAMN YOU!" He watched White Houou Mars flying out through his torso. He retaliated by charging up his six crystalline shoulder spikes and the seventh crystalline triangle that then quickly spun around until the three tips of the triangle on his back fired three Yami destructive beams toward White Houou Mars. "YAMI TRIANGLE!"
As the destructive beams headed for her, White Houou Mars conjured her white flames, which nullified Yami Ghidorah's destructive blasts.
"Hang on! I'm here!" BlazeGallantmon called out as he transformed into Guilkatomon and charged up crimson energy in his hands. "UNIVERSAL HAZARD WAVE!" He tossed his powerful fiery wave, which Yami Ghidorah then countered.
"YAMI TRIANGLE!" And combined his attack with a massive Yami energy blast from his mouth. "YAMI APOCALYPSE!"
Narrowly evading Yami Ghidorah's attacks, Guilkatomon dove into the behemoth and punched his forehead. In a single blow, Guilkatomon dazed Yami Ghidorah and burned the left half of his face with a fiery wave.
"Ghidorah, your end is at hand!" Guilkatomon exclaimed.
"NO, YOU SHALL FALL ON THIS DAY, ROMOSMOS! YAMI APOCALYPSE!" Ghidorah fired three Yami energy blasts in retaliation, pushing Guilkatomon back.
Suddenly, White Houou Mars blasted Yami Ghidorah's chest and knocked him over.
"You came back with all of this power, but you couldn't have foreseen the White Houou's flames being able to overcome your Yami fire!" White Houou Mars shouted.
'GHIDORAH, YOUR REIGN OF TERROR ENDS HERE!' The Houou telepathically screamed inside the Rajita warlord's head.
"DAMN YOU, HOUOU! I WILL NOT LET YOU KILL ME AGAIN! YOU AND YOUR HOST HAVE LIVED TO SEE YOUR FINAL MOMENTS! NO! YOU AND YOUR COHORTS WILL SEE THE END OF YOUR EXISTENCE!"
"Ghidorah, it's over!" Sailor Cosmos declared as she jetted up to confront the behemoth.
"I WILL NEVER YIELD TO YOU, COSMOS!" Ghidorah bum-rushed Cosmos again and collided with her. His dark flames clashed with her divine white aura. He repelled her with force and impulsively acted out of desperation, firing multiple eye beams and mouth blasts, which then converged into a spherical Yami energy attack. The black sphere descended toward the ground, intending to crash through the Earth's core and purge everything out of existence. However, Sailor Cosmos, aided by White Houou Mars and Guilkatomon, plunged into the black sphere.
Guided by Romosmos' power, Guilkatomon pushed back against the sphere. Using her cosmic flare, White Houou Mars blasted it upward and away from touching the ground. With her Cosmos Crystal's power, Sailor Cosmos purged the universal destroying attack.
Raising her Cosmos Tiare, Cosmos collected everyone's energy to amass a radiant white aura around herself. She then transferred some of that power to Guilkatomon and Houou White Mars. Together, the trio unleashed a clear wave of energy that collided with Yami Ghidorah, burning off sections of his rock-hard body, including his tails and his helmet & shoulder armor.
The trio pushed another white aura blast that burned his once impenetrable body. Yami Ghidorah let out pained roars, succumbing to the devastating force cleansing his existence. He tried to regenerate his lost tails, rock-solid skin, and tissue, but another combined blast melted half of his entire body. Then, Sailor Cosmos headed off with White Houou Mars and Guilkatomon behind her.
"THIS CANNOT BE MY END! I AM YAMI GHIDORAH! I AM INVINCIBLE! I AM REMAOS! I AM THE COSMOS' END! I WAS SUPPOSED TO ESTABLISH MY SOVEREIGNTY OVER THE OMNIVERSE! I WAS SUPPOSED TO END THE MOON BLOODLINE AND THE HOUOU! I CANNOT AND WILL NOT PERISH HERE!" The Rajita tyrant roared in anguish, his deafening and terrifying tone sounded distorted and weakened. He witnessed his black flames quickly being extinguished by Cosmos' light, White Houou mars' white flames, and Romosmos' power. "I CANNOT BE DEFEATED LIKE THIS!"
Forging a white rope, Guilkatomon channeled Romosmos' power and bound Remaos' reincarnation. Then, White Houou Mars ignited the ropes and set Yami Ghidorah ablaze with her cosmic flames. Finally, Sailor Cosmos forged her Cosmos Tiare into a sword, which she grasped and swung. With a single swing from the sword, a wave of white light plunged through Yami Ghidorah and obliterated him.
In his dying words, Yami Ghidorah roared. "THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY ASCENSION! I WAS TO RULE OVER ALL OF EXISTENCE AND COMPLETE MY REVENGE! I WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DENIED MY DESTINY! I AM YAMI GHIDORAH…! I AM… NOOOOOOO!"
With that, the slain monster's body dissolved into dust that purified into white dust and rained over Tokyo like snow, bringing a wintery scene to Tokyo before Christmas' arrival.
Chapter 6 Outline/Spoilers: Post-Defiant War & Yami Ghidorah Finale; Global Depower
-How Crystal Tokyo (Shin-YYGDM) and Neo-Crystal Tokyo (YYGDM-01) are formed in differences. For an unmarked spoiler: Sailor Moon (YYGDM-01) and the JOEs (Jewels of Eternity) cause the global depower (and also with Marty's help) and Neo-Crystal Tokyo (YYGDM-01) is formed as a separate dimension where the heroes and Metas choose to keep their powers live there in harmony for a thousand years until Zero Reverse (17 years before 5Ds) rips a hole in the dimension and forces it back to Earth, at which point time progresses normally. Shortly after, from the future's perspective, is the Black Moon arc of Sailor Moon.
—(Lazer's words back in Defiants mega thread: Endgame culminates on December 21, 2012 (Last day of Mayan Calendar)
-Sailor Moon must become Sailor Cosmos for the second time.
-Combines her powers with Marty's/J.O.E.s to basically de-power the world
-Creates Neo-Crystal Tokyo (using JOEs) as a separate dimension/haven for metas/heroes who do not want to lose their powers
-NCT is basically timeless, no one ages and is a peaceful utopia, until Zero Reverse (17 years prior to 5Ds) rips a hole in the dimension and forces it back to Earth, at which point time progresses normally.
-Shortly after, from the future's perspective, is the Dark Moon Kingdom arc of Sailor Moon.)
—-K's statement on Discord (12/24/21): I've already had an idea of a global depower through Sailor Moon and the Jewels of Eternity (the same artifacts Apophis used). Through this process, Neo-Crystal Tokyo would be created as a separate dimension that allows any superpowered heroes and beings to move there. Anyone who wants to stay behind on Earth will be depowered (Digimon would be put back in the Digital World and demons would go back to the Demon World). Also, I don't think there needs to be an erasure of people's memories of Christina being a Senshi. Not when the Mind Jewel can simply wipe out the memories (and physical existences) of superheroes from humanity's minds. This would prevent another Defiant vs. superpowered hero/Meta conflict from arising. And besides, it'll be another millennium before Zero Reverse happens, causing Neo-Crystal Tokyo to become dislodged from its dimension and appear in the 30th-century. That's when humanity will become reintroduced to superpowered heroes and beings. Anyway, these are ideas that are somewhat based on Lazer's concept of creating a divide that takes the superpowered heroes and Metas out of the world before they're later reintroduced. We intend to have YYGDM-01 become separated from DF-616 and XLR-8 for good after the Defiants conflict. As for Ken, he could use his power to help neutralize the darkness that the final enemy used to corrupt humanity (mostly the Defiants) and the YYGDM-01 universe. Btw, this same dark force is looking to tamper with the Source again and completely outdo what Zeed X did - rewriting the entire multiverse to its own image. Well, this final enemy is hellbent on altering the Triad worlds and the neighboring multiverse, even more so than Zeed X, who in his own twisted way mostly wanted balance. This entity wants a complete makeover where its word is the law. That's all I will say for now. Remember, Ken isn't the only hero in this. At the end of the day, it's the YYGDM-01 heroes' conflict. Ken and the DFK characters will end up latecomers near the final phase of the Defiant War.
–-In regards to the global depower, Allfather-Ford had concerns about its repercussions and even before seeing Spider-Man: No Way Home, he wondered if besides the JOEs doing the depowering while the superpowered beings settle in Neo-Crystal Tokyo how the Mind Jewel works. I told him it can also wipe out all the memories (and physical existences) of superheroes of humanity's mindsets (and frankly a better alternative than Chaosblazer's whacky thought of people simply erasing the memories of Christina being a Senshi). With this, it'll be a tearjerking bittersweet moment, which ties into the 'nothing is the same' storyline that started with Cross Generations' conclusion. It also relates to the end of the era of superheroes, especially for the families of the Sailor Senshi, and more importantly prevents the second coming of humanity revolting against super-powered beings alongside the forces of darkness targeting humanity. A millennia later, when Zero Reverse happens, Neo-Crystal Tokyo merges with Earth and shows the humanity of the 30th-century being re-introduce to the long-forgotten superpowered beings. On the other hand, Allfather-Ford was unsure about this one though since it's too confusing (Especially making a lot of confusing/nonsensical plot holes that'll make no sense such as how would the public will remember the heroes saving them many times from villains like the Rajita and Paradais, likewise the Duel Monsters concept since the events of Zexal will continue after Defiants, and eventually in a millennium that Synchro Duels will be added and Helio will be born as Kaiba's descendant), and even he would know/understand that Lazer will find it not making sense (Especially I wonder what other details Lazer has discussed to you more further of the global depower?). So, ultimately, Allfather-Ford suggested this idea can be canned and humanity can retain the memories (instead of some wacky Chaosblazer imposement of removing the memories and returning to Kensuke's nonsensical status quo, alongside the YYGDM-01 dimension retaining its Apex Dimension status instead of returning to Kensuke's status quo) and experiences since the Defiants/Yami Ghidorah conflict of eventually wanting history to be retained to learn from their mistakes (and preventing a 'Neo Defiants' scenario). Then the 12/24/21 update from me happens on Discord in wondering about something that's still debating.
-Differences between the Defiant War endgame in YYGDM-0 and Shin-YYGDM: Both reach their endgame on December 21, but YYGDM-01 Defiants will take place on 12/21/12 while the Shin-YYGDM, the war took place on 12/21/19. YYGDM-01 Defiant War lasts longer due to the larger character roster.
-Having told Allfather-Ford about these two characters in an email and in Shinnen/Corner: Sam and Max are going with Koori and Amaya as they go in the Crystal Tokyo timeline. And that will be shown in YYGDM-01/Defiants as it gives Sam, Max, Koori, and Amaya a happy ending in the Neo-Crystal Tokyo timeline.
-With the Staff of Apophis destroyed and the Millennium Items completely sealed, the ability to summon real Duel Monsters and/or transform (Spirit Fusing) into one is lost. From now on, Duel Monsters are only summoned through Solid Vision technology.
-Thanks to the Cosmos Crystal's regenerative powers, those killed during the Defiant War and Yami Ghidorah's rampage will be revived. However, Grandpa Hino still passes on shortly after due to his old age, leaving his granddaughters Rei & Cammy, great-grandchildren Koori & Ryuuhi, his son-in-law Hiei, and Yuuichiro inheritance to a rebuilt Hikawa Shrine. Every and all buildings that were destroyed will be restored, including Hikawa Shrine.
-In contrast to Cain (Shin-YYGDM), Cain (YYGDM-01) will not sacrifice himself. After Yami Ghidorah is destroyed, Cain (YYGDM-01) will be put into rehabilitation and one day resurface as a better individual while Grace (K's response: She gets revived along with others by the Silver Crystal.) takes over his company.
-Post-Yami Ghidorah and present day YYGDM-01: Beryl, Kuiiza, all the Sailor Moon villains (including the monsters of the week), and evil Rajita are making their return, especially for the Sailor Wars during Neo-Crystal Tokyo time. Kuiiza succeeds Ghidorah in becoming Kaiser Kuiiza.
-Before that, Kuiiza and Kujiko become Yami versions revived by Yami Ghidorah in Defiants' climax. Scott and Dirk finally get their revenge against Yami Kuiiza. This is when Kujiko is free from Kuiiza's control (and Yami control from Ghidorah) and joins Nagah. After Kuiiza's Yami power is removed, he retreats and at some point later becomes Kaiser Kuiiza.
-Ford's proposal: Also, Defiants/YYGDM-01 should kindly ignore Chaosblazer's filler events such as Lavosmon as if they pretend they never happened. Defiants/YYGDM-01 will focus on the narrative view of Kensuke waking up for the first time after his deep sleep.
-Kensuke (XLR-8) is going to become YYGDM-01's watcher after the heroes end Yami Ghidorah's existence.
-We wondered if the Starlights (YYGDM-01) will have love interests in Defiants (and obviously Yaten/Star Healer (YYGDM-01) has a different love interest)? One group thought of pairing up with these Senshi is the revived Amazon Trio (YYGDM-01) since we haven't seen them in past YYGDM-01 stories and that the Amazon Trio (besides the Ayakashi Sisters) appearing in Defiants can make up. Seiya/Star Fighter - Tiger's Eye, Taiki/Star Maker - Hawk's Eye, and Yaten/Star Healer - Fish Eye. But, I haven't finalized yet how to make these pairings possible.
-Ford's query: 'Will the Amazoness Quartet (YYGDM-01) have love interests in Defiants?' (My response: I've considered a few of Chibiusa's classmates in the present day. In the 90's anime, the boy named Yusuke was 'coached' by JunJun and they seemed to hit off. Beyond that, I don't know who else to turn to for love interests for those four.)
-Originally, I had no concrete plans for Psyren (YYGDM-01)'s role in Defiants beyond doing Cain's dirty work and fighting the Duelists. This was before Psyren got her back broken by Kensuke (XLR-8) and ultimately turned into one of his opponents again in Defiants.
-Will Kotori's mother (tributing the scene of Shinnen's final chapter) make a cameo appearance in Defiants of reuniting with her daughter after Yami Ghidorah ceases to exist and before the global depower?
-(K's response: Yes, Kotori's mother can show up to resolve her differences with her daughter. The mother can reveal she's been through rehabilitation and is proud of what Kotori has become.)
-Rei, Cammy, Ryuuhi, Koori, Hiei, and Yuuichirou have a wake for Grandpa Hino, who died shortly after being revived due to his old age. Hiroaki arrives to pay his respects and makes amends with his daughters and grandchildren before leaving for rehab.
-Takato and Rika's wedding happens as everyone decides who's going to stay behind or go to Neo-Crystal Tokyo. Their wedding is eventful and Takato kisses his bride.
-After the final battles (alongside Takato/Rika (YYGDM-01) getting married) and before the global depower, Takato (YYGDM-01) visits the canon Digimon Tamers dimension and meets Takato (Canon), coming full circle with me as a fanfic writer. The original D-Fusion first inspired me to commit to becoming a full-time fanfic writer thanks to a clip of Takato/Guilmon first biomerging back in 2001, and why I consider Takato (YYGDM-01) an all-important character in YYGDM-01. The canon Digimon Tamers dimension is the final dimension shown in all of the stories.
-(My words: Oh, look some Christmas scenes. A good throwback to the end of the Rajita story, but here it's less bittersweet. (Just before the global depower)
-(My addendum: Yes, the wedding for Takato and Rika will be shown. That and YYGDM!Takato meeting Canon!Takato will be scenes I look forward to.)
Now what you're waiting for: the fate of the heroes during and after the global depower. Go stays on Earth and who goes to Neo-Crystal Tokyo?
Before the global depower, the heroes are given two choices that best suit their interests and futures:
Leave Earth and enter a temporal nexus where Neo-Crystal Tokyo will exist, which protects them from the global depower wave (which is created through Sailor Moon's Silver Crystal, the Jewels of Eternity, and Marty's nullification power) and confining them outside space/time.
Those that choose to stay behind can live out the rest of their lives in peace and lose their powers. They will also age normally unlike those outside space/time. The 1000 years or so of the period between WoTD and the Crystal Age will be known as the Silent Millennium, as opposed to Shin-YYGDM's Millennia Somnus.
-The ones that go to Neo-Crystal Tokyo: the Sailor Senshi & their spouses, the Kuiper Senshi & their spouses, most of the Spirit Detective team (minus Kuwabara and Yukina), Henry, Suzie, Kenta, Jaarin, Vega Hunter, Sam Joseph, Dimitro, Kouji, Kouichi, Mist, the Ayakashi Sisters, Naru & Umino (and their daughter), the Sailor Senshi's families (including Cammy and Shingo), most of Okami's clan, the Chimeras, and quite possibly many Metas who choose to keep their powers and want to live without facing prejudice.
-The ones who stay behind on Earth: The Duelists (sans Mako Tsunami, who goes with Jupiter, Duke, who goes with Makemake, and Tristan, who goes with Haumea). Others are on a case-by-case basis. So, Takato & Rika, Himura & Jeri, Kuwabara & Yukina, Kazu & Kiyoko, the few Okami clan members (Yuuichiro who will tend to the rebuilt Hikawa Shrine; the Tamers' old teacher Ms. Asagi), and other Metas who want to become normal and live out their regular human lives.
-The Valkyries and their spouses leave Earth and rebuild Asgard. Kotori/Brunhilde is crowned undisputed queen of Asgard with Kouichi as king. Kenta is charged with staying with Mist, who gradually tolerates and falls for him. They will all be protected from the global depower wave since the Nine Realms are separate from Earth/Midgard. Asgard undergoes a similar 'Silent Millennium' as everyone undergoes a long hibernation to renew their divine powers and extend their lifespans.
-Other dimensions such as Spirit World, the Makai, the Meikai, the Nine Realms, and the Digital Worlds will be unaffected by the global depower wave since they're already cut/will be closed off from Earth.
-Regardless of who stays behind or goes to Neo-Crystal Tokyo, every and any Spirit (such as the Beast Spirits and Legendary Warrior spirits) will be returned to their original places and become sealed. Likewise, every Digimon goes to the Digital World and stays there (until Neo-Crystal Tokyo resurfaces, allowing people like Henry, Dimitri, and Athena to reunite with their Digimon).
-Escaped villains such as Kuiiza find refuge in a pocket dimension, sparing them from being destroyed by the global depower wave. Unescaped evil entities would quickly turn to dust by the wave.
-(Lazer's comments from a 2009 thread we did about this (yes it's that old): After seeing the destruction left in the aftermath of the battle with the Defiants, Sailor Moon comes to realize that the Defiants actually had a good reason to do what they did. She realizes that her destiny as Moon Princess was not just to protect the world from evil, but also to save it from destruction, and she realizes that eventually, the battles between super-powered people would eventually lead to the world's destruction. And so she creates Neo-Crystal Tokyo as a haven for super-people, a city which would exist in a separate dimension, outside the reach of time. She gives all the super-people a choice: Come live in peace in Neo-Crystal Tokyo, or be purified of their powers forever. Obviously all the Senshi (and their husbands and children) go, as well as Yusuke (with Keiko and RJ). The other characters would be case-by-case, though I think none of the Duelists (apart from Mako) would go. Morpheous, I think, would stay, too. He'd morph into his human form, so that when he lost his power, he'd be human for good.)
-More Lazer commentary: I actually had thought of the Makai/Digital World problem. Just because the supers are segregating themselves, that doesn't mean there wouldn't be any more threats. In fact, it would make Earth even more vulnerable. However, the way I envisioned it, C. Tokyo would exist in the dimension between dimensions, existing somewhat as a layer between Earth and the Makai/Digital World, so that anything that tries to get to Earth from either the Makai or Digital World would end up in C. Tokyo, where the heroes could do something about it. This effect could even extend into subspace to protect Earth from another alien invasion. Another problem would be populating a city like C. Tokyo. Even if you send all the heroes and their families to C. Tokyo, that's still not enough to create a city. I had pictured that whatever device gave the Defiants their powers (something technological that harnesses a mystical power source) would malfunction/explode releasing a large amount of mystical energy that gives half the population of Tokyo superpowers (I picture the explosion a lot like a firework. Instead of a steadily growing wave of energy that affects everyone in it, it's a bunch of random streams of energy that randomly hits random people).
Now, the Rajita remnants could still live on Earth, since their power mostly came from superior technology (with a few exceptions, like the Chimeras and the Generals), they could stay on Earth without having to be purified.
Maya would definitely go with Kurama to either C. Tokyo or the Makai. Kuwabara and Yukina could go either way, though I pictured them staying on Earth, Yukina giving up her powers to live as a human. Most of Okami's tribe would go, with a few exceptions, like the Tamers' old teacher (who loves teaching) and Yuuichirou (who likes his life on the shrine). Aoshi and Yui might stay on Earth, too. Since the Makai is being sealed off, Earth has no need for a Spirit Detective.
All of the digimon would have to return to the Digital World (including Mizuno and Brimstone). Guilmon would return to the Royal Knights, Inumon and Renamon would raise their kids in the Digital World. Takato and Rika would stay, though, wanting to have a normal life. The Wong family would go, and probably Sam Joseph, as well. Vega, of course, goes with Ami, and Kouji and Kouichi would probably go, too. Himura and Jeri could go either way, as well as most of the others. If you have any preferences, I'd like to hear them.
The biggest question for me, though, is, after almost 1000 years of not aging, why, once Chibi-Usa goes back in time, do they start aging again? My answer: About 978 years after the formation of Neo Crystal Tokyo, something happens which dislodges it from extra-dimensional space and back into the real world. What? I don't know. Maybe a natural disaster, maybe an enemy that finally figured out the trick to attacking Earth, maybe the plot of your "future story", it doesn't matter. The point is, they get grounded in space-time again. Instead of returning to extra-dimensional space, Neo Queen Serenity sees that mankind has progressed far in the last millennium and decides to leave C. Tokyo as it is. The upside of this is that now she can send Chibi-Usa back in time to meet her parents when they were teens. Because they were "outside the reach of time", time travel was, naturally, impossible. So, instead of aging because Chibi-Usa went back in time, Chibi-Usa was able to go back in time because they had started aging again. Get it?)
-Obviously, that 'disaster' would be Zero Reverse. When this was being discussed long ago, Lazer and I didn't consider Zero Reverse as the catalyst that creates a rift and dislodges NCT out of its extra-dimensional space.
-The chapter ends with Takato seeing the birth of his and Rika's daughter. It's a sign that the Tamers' legacy will continue into the foreseeable future.
Final Chapter Outline/Spoilers: The Crystal Age, the Taiyoukai War, and the Sailor Wars
Tidbits before the Sailor Wars
—-When Zero Reverse occurs just as it happens in 5Ds, the event opens a rift, allowing the Black Moon to infiltrate Neo-Crystal Tokyo two years later. After the Black Moon destroy the Moon Heart Crystal (the one Aoshi and Okami gave the Sailor Senshi during The Invasion of the Rajita and what granted them their first Valkyrie armored forms), Neo-Crystal Tokyo becomes dislodged from its isolated stasis and has surfaced into normal reality. Everyone now ages normally.
—-Shortly after the Black Moon events occur and they attack Neo-Crystal Tokyo. The Ayakashi Sisters briefly turn evil again. The stronger Sailor Senshi easily defeats the Black Moon Clan. After being freed from evil, the Ayakashi Sisters are not only purified again but also transform into Sailor Senshi and help the Sailors defeat Wiseman/Doom Phantom.
-During the Black Moon attack, a boy named Isan witnesses his family being killed. Isan survives and is adopted by a family (likely Henry who is alive since he went to Neo-Crystal Tokyo). Little does the Sailor Senshi know that Isan is Takato & Rika's descendant.
-Shaman Apsu and the Oppositio Senshi's involvement and adapting the Sailor Moon: Another Story concept into the future Neo-Crystal Tokyo. The parts I'm adapting won't be the time travel bits but just Apsu and the Oppositio Senshi opposing Neo-Queen Serenity. Sin blames Neo-Queen Serenity for her family's deaths during the Black Moon attacks. Sin's only family left is her younger brother Anshar. Apsu manipulates Sin and the Oppoisitio to kill the Sailor Senshi and help her alter the future's reality. During this conflict, Sin meets a boy named Isan, who convinces her that she's being led down a destructive path and that Apsu is using her. Isan and Sin have a rocky relationship akin to Takato and Rika in the beginning.
—The Inner Senshi have brief fights against the Oppositio Senshi. Neo-Queen briefly becomes Sailor Moon again to oppose Sin initially. Chibiusa befriends Sin's brother Anshar. After finding out Isan is the Tamers' descendant, Sailor Moon asks Isan to help her stop the Oppositios.
—-It's revealed that Neo-Queen Serenity tried saving Sin's family but Apsu was the one who killed them. When Sin learns of this, she's enraged.
—-Final battle: Sailor Moon, Isan, Sin & Oppositios defeat Apsu and save Anshar. Sin makes amends with Neo-Queen Serenity for falsely accusing her. Afterward, Isan and Sin become a couple. Faking her demise, Apsu will resurface in the Sailor Wars.
—Setsuna and John/Volodramon have a daughter named Yeul, who inherits Pluto's Star Seed and powers. Yeul's name will be Sailor Saga.
—The return of Tyler/Male Eris: Sailor O resurfaces to cause havoc, prompting the Kuipers to stop her. Orcus wants revenge. Amid the brief battle, Sailor O blasts the Kuipers with a reality warp attack in an attempt to alter the Kuipers' molecules and destroy them. During this, and since she still possesses a living essence of him within her, Sailor Eris turns back into Male Eris. Orcus sneaks a blast that saves her friends and drives Sailor O away. Having been turned back into his male self, Male Eris explains to Larry, Quantum Varuna/Lauren Jr., and Zephyr Eris/Tyler Jr. about the situation. With no means of turning Eris back to normal, they ask Neo-Queen Serenity to help Eris. Using her Silver Crystal, she not only turns Eris back to normal but permanently separates Male Eris from Eris. Neo-Queen Serenity also uses her crystal to 'extract' the female!Larry essence out of Larry and revives his former genderbent self, Lauren. Male Eris and Lauren join the Eris family and become Tyler and Lauren Jr.'s uncle and aunt.
-Ford's comment: Surprise to see that Male Eris returns in the final chapter. Will Male Eris be married to both Gondul (and giving birth to Marozi Eris) and Ixion? :P I wonder who will be Lauren's love interest? (My answer: I think he will marry both and produce Marozi Eris with Ayanna/Gondul. Marozi could inherit her mother's animal shapeshifting abilities. As for Lauren, she could become Tyler/Male Eris' third wife, meaning he gets Lauren, Gondul, and Sailor Ixion.)
-While the Taiyōkai War (Shin-YYGDM) happened early in Arc II, The Taiyoukai War (YYGDM-01) is mentioned to be shown in Neo-Crystal Tokyo as a difference and has already been completed as a YuYuGiDigiMoon Gaiden entry (Chapter 15 to be exact).
-Defiants (YYGDM-01) will show the completed Neo Senshi roster with the additions of Stellar Uranus and Tidal Neptune alongside Kagura's name being revealed for Yui's Tenyou predecessor. This Kagura character will have a final real appearance/description in Defiants (YYGDM-01), which had already been said in Shin-YYGDM Arc III's A/Ns.
-Ford mentioned back in December 2014 in an email: "All the remaining Primordial Taiyoukai's names besides Akadean (Hadean) and Bangiraceous (Cretaceous) are confirmed!" Which I'm showing again to refresh and remember YYGDM-01's Taiyoukai War Gaiden summary (Even looking back it was written before the remaining Neo Senshi and the full Neo Kuiper teams are revealed, which these characters will be added in Defiants' TCA epilogue chapter of the Taiyoukai War in the main timeline).
Archat (Archean)
Protjeroeba (Proterozoic)
Camtrilocaris (Cambrian)
Nautiordo (Ordovician)
Brorygosilu (Silurian)
Devophibian (Devonian)
Megaguiferous (Carboniferous)
Synapmian (Permian)
Tanthyssic (Triassic)
Juranchiosis (Jurassic)
Paleotherium (Paleogene)
Woolyaphant (Neogene)
-Ford also remembered the part back in DoC/YYGDM-01 of Tsukuyomi having sex with Natsume. After Natsume is rescued by Chuu and the others, Natsume mentions a foreshadowing that she's carrying Tsukuyomi's child. He asked, "Will that child be born by the time of Defiants (alongside will that child be involved in the Taiyoukai War and even meet Tsukuyomi (Which I recall she will be under control by Long before being freed))? (My answer: Yes, the baby has been born months after Dawn of Chaos. The child will also take part in the Taiyoukai War and briefly meet Tsukuyomi.)
-More Ford commentary: "All nine Bijuu (Ichibi no Shukaku, Nibi no Nekomata, Sanbi no Same, Yonbi no Basan, Gobi no Akita, Rokubi no Raijuu, Shichibi no Komouri, Yamata no Orochi, and Kyuubi no Youko) (Of course the finalized roster of all nine (and their combined form) is imagined to be revised when discussing with Lazer) instead of just three in Valkyrie Advent are going to return by siding with Arago (YYGDM-01)'s forces in the Taiyoukai War (YYGDM-01). It finally happens for the first time in canon outside of Shinnen. I recall back in Valkyrie Advent that the Bijuus were not at their prime due to being sealed for ages. Now in the Taiyoukai War, Arago restored all nine of the strengths to their full powers and fully at their prime (and relating to the nine having a combined form). All nine have a combined form called the Juubi no Naraku, it will look like a mountain-sized spider with ten tails. It is also the Bijuus original form (before splitting into the nine Bijuu) and one of Kagura (in tributing Kikyo)'s old enemies besides Arago. Looking back in Shinnen that the Bijuu never had the chance to combine to their original form while only three then simply fuse to a chimeric form (Nue no Tri) that pales in comparison, now their canon selves (YYGDM-01) finally have the chance in the Defiants epilogue/Taiyoukai War."
-Makes me wonder will Enma return in the Taiyoukai War (YYGDM-01)?
-(My response: He might return to observe the war.)
-Kagura's voice actor is Lisa Ann Beley (same voice as Lady Kayura (Ronin Warriors))
-Lady Kagura's description from back in Shin-YYGDM Arc III: a fair-skinned woman with back-length golden brown hair and green eyes. Shrouded in a golden sheen of light, Kagura has on a white, blue, and yellow ceremonial robe. Purple scratch-like marks are seen embellished on her cheeks.
-Besides the Ayakashi Sisters coming back as reformed characters, Kirin (now as a fully grown plesiosaur who was a baby that Chibiusa befriended and met) can appear in Defiants/YYGDM-01. Additionally, the Lake Yo-Kai can appear in helping out the Spirit Detectives in the Taiyoukai War.
-More Ford commentary: "At one point in the Taiyoukai War (and a callback of what I remember back in DoC of Selipa warning Long of Arago's power of what if he turns against Long), Long (YYGDM-01) (and support his restoration back to credibility threat after his guest appearance in Valkyrie Advent/Niflheim chapters) has plans that he intends to overthrow Arago (YYGDM-01) after the war is over (much to Kiryu and the other Taiyoukai Eight's disdain), something that Arago (YYGDM-01) is already aware yet keeps him into the high ranks to kill the Spirit Detectives and then disposes of Long (YYGDM-01)'s treachery."
-Will Kiba make his return to the Taiyoukai War (especially remembering his involvement with one of the Bijuu back in Shinnen)?
-(K's response: He would return in the Taiyoukai War to confront Kiba but would be impressed with how Aoshi has grown.)

Vincent (having black hair)/Marzipan/Avocadora/Udering
Alfred (having red hair)/Nekonneru/PeroPero
Jericho (having dark blond hair, based on Koenma's Filipino name, and leading one of the Anti Demon squads consisting of Eugene/Vincent/Alfred/Dennis)/Mizugeiko/Oniwabandana/Leshy/Amaderasu
-Then, relating to Ghidorah successfully tampering with the Source, besides it causes Charon to be indirectly brought back from existence (Since it shows/demonstrates that the Source is the only way that can bring back a character that ceased to exist back to life), it also indirectly brings back Grimhilde (YYGDM-01)'s spirit out of existence back to life (since her spirit was previously destroyed back in CG's climax). Chaos makes a new body for Grimhilde to have her final revenge on Asgard in the Sailor Wars and to finally confront her daughter in person in a proper fight. Brunhilde and her forces finally defeat Grimhilde and also convince her to stop the fighting and revenge (and also relates to Adora's redemption arc for what Lazer plans to help out). Grimhilde's spirit finally rests in peace and makes peace with herself, as she finally reunites with her husband in the afterlife.
-I remember mentioning that Basiliskmon is revived by Ghidorah as YamiBasiliskmon and Kotori finally properly kills him for the first time. Of course, it's not enough since remembering how much Basiliskmon is a Hate Sink, Basiliskmon after his death by Kotori feels hatefully vengeful and can't get over his petty revenge to the point that Chaos revives Basiliskmon for the Sailor Wars as his final revenge (and teaming up with Grimhilde). Basiliskmon's new form from Chaos is the Chaos Ouroboros. His final vengeance intends to make the universe his stone collection alongside killing his victims, and he'll have a greater 'over the top' bold/capitalized dialogue breakdown while being killed (actually, it'll be more like Basiliskmon and his soul finally ceases to exist by Neo Frigg due to how pure evil the snake was of giving him a slow and excruciating painful fate in the Sailor Wars) by Kotori/Neo Frigg (alongside Himura) a second time. It is a bookend that Basiliskmon was Kotori/Himura's Starter Villain, ending with him as the actual final villain (Grimhilde does not count since she's now more of Adora's closure). Basiliskmon also started as an independent villain in Underworld Saga, then becomes/demotes to a minion by Pharaohmon/Paradais/Yami Ghidorah, and then returns to being an independent villain as a bookend in the Sailor Wars (though he teams up with Grimhilde and Chaos, it downplays of himself as their minion as Basiliskmon/Chaos Ouroboros's endgame extends his own plans to be the sole supreme villain).
-Ford's commentary: Another discussion to ask LazerWulf is that had Sailor Charon not been used in Cross Generations, we wonder what role she would had play in the Crystal Age/Sailor Wars (I then imagined and making more sense of relating YYGDM refusing to move forward is that in Defiants' climax when Yami Ghidorah successfully tampers the Source, that indirectly reversed Charon from out of existence (since the Source is the only way that can bring back someone that was cease to exist) without anyone knowing until the Sailor Wars event, now fully alone without Millenniummon (and Charon no longer sees him as her love and no longer needed him) and Chaos, now fully irrelevant as a fanfic OC since we move on from her, and permanently insane (since she 'Came Back Wrong' unlike her usual self due to Ghidorah's tampering messed her psyche indirectly) with permanent bold/capitalized/italicized dialogue (and emoting over the top nightmare faces more often than in DoC and CG) for her final vengeance to overthrow the omniverse against both Cosmos and Chaos. This would mean she's a third faction fighting both the good (Neo-Queen Serenity/Cosmos) and bad (Chaos) factions. And she's using her own power and willpower instead of relying on Chaos (and no longer referring to herself as Chaos incarnate). Charon also has a new form looking like a humanoid version of the Gibbering mouther (Dungeons & Dragons) with her arms/legs/hair retained to symbolize her permanent insanity and remove the beauty/chaos goddess image and also enlarge herself to a near universal-size way bigger than Omniversal Chaos (and remind me of Infinite Zamasu's laughing faces). The form will be named Infinite Charon. Imagining Charon will finally cease to exist for real and permanently, and without Yami Ghidorah's presence of having tampered with the Source back then this time, in her eldritch monstrous state instead of her normal Charon form back in CG and her Sailor Chaos form back in Dawn of Chaos. Unlike her demise at the end of DoC, there will be no genuine tears and fear from the villain unlike CG, and a worse breakdown/more rhetorical final defeat unlike CG and the Shin-YYGDM version. She won't be slain by just Pluto, but the full combined time guardian family powers of Gao Pluto, Pluto (which relates to her final fate, as Moon/Cosmos has for the final battle against the actual Chaos), Volodramon, and Yeul (who will be Pluto/Volodramon's daughter) will wipe out Charon's existence.
-(My answer: I've held off making comments about Charon (YYGDM-01)'s fate and what a sad, pathetic fate for her. Any semblance of the devious schemer and 'Queen of Mean' is gone and replaced with a mindless monstrosity that only cares about wanton destruction. It's a fall from grace for the former one-half of Paradais. Yeah, there won't be any tears shed when the Pluto family obliterates her.)
-Ford's suggestion: An idea is that Queen Beryl and Kuiiza will be revived in the Sailor Wars. Actually, they can be revived by the actual Chaos (or one of them, likely Kuiiza retreats from the Reformed Rajita faction, and Beryl is the one revived indirectly by Yami Ghidorah when he tampers the Source) shortly after the global depower and before Neo-Crystal Tokyo. During the utopia, Beryl and Kaiser Kuiiza formed their own counterpart of Serenity's kingdom called the Neo Dark Rajita Kingdom (and their main involvement/final battle will be in the Sailor Wars). Beryl has a new form called Chaos Beryl. Kuiiza now refers to himself as Kaiser Kuiiza (alongside his own Kaiju form) in succeeding his master Ghidorah. Kujiko is freed from Beryl's spell, finally turns on Kuiiza for real, and joins Nagah's faction (in actuality, the part of Kuiiza and Kujiko is shown early in Defiants' climax of being converted into Yamis by Ghidorah (and also a chance for Scott and Dirk to get revenge on Kuiiza), then Kujiko is freed (and freed from Beryl's previous spell) and joins Nagah, while Kuiiza escapes so in the future he becomes Kaiser Kuiiza). Many Sailor Moon-related enemies like the Youma, Daimon, Death Busters, Droids, Lemures, evil Rajita, etc. are revived and join Beryl/Kaiser Kuiiza's kingdom. Eugene, Alfred, Vincent, and Dennis (that we remember discussing these four last year (2019)) can survive after Defiants and gain the eternal youth to join Beryl/Kaiser Kuiiza's kingdom (and become the new Shitennou), alongside the four men having lovers/whores (and intercourses/three-way and four-way kisses) who are selected Sailor Moon MOTWs (pretty much thanks to the inspiration of Hogni as his whores of Wulf-Edda). The pairings are Eugene/Castor/Pollux, Dennis/Thetis/Scar/U-Chouten, Vincent/Marzipan/Avocadora/Uderling, and Alfred/Nekonneru/PeroPero (I regret that I should have added Scar, U-Chouten, and Nekonneru having cameos in VA's Niflheim prison breakout). Another idea is that these selected Sailor Moon MOTWs can be revived and converted into Yamis in Defiants' climax and encounters the four Anti-Demon men, the MOTWs are cured from being Yami, even sharing four-way kisses from Dennis and Vincent's Youma/Droid/Daimon whores (and the young men mention they're more beautiful than the Sailor Senshi and the Blood/Bizarro Senshi, especially the kisses), and they escape after the final battles in hiding until they join the revived Beryl and Kuiiza. It is a callback that back at the end of Season 1 (WoP/Redux) showed Digimon villains escape from the underworld and run amock in joining other Digimon villains to revive Valmarmon. Here at the end of Defiants is a Book End of Sailor Moon related villains revived in planning their final revenge on Neo-Crystal Tokyo till their final defeats in the Sailor Wars.
-(My answer: Now we have the Neo Dark Rajita Kingdom, combining the original Rajita survivors and Queen Beryl's organization. Most shocking is the return of Beryl herself, who was the first Big Bad the Senshi ever faced and has returned to seek her revenge. Beryl even gets a Chaos upgrade to make her a believable threat again. Kuiiza is revived to ascend the rankings and take the title of 'Kaiser' after his former leader. Moreover, we have a mix of various MOTWs from the Sailor Moon seasons. Yeah, I noticed you picked out some of your favorite SM MOTWs. Yes, I see we have Anti-Demon men and they're named after Yusuke, Kuwabara, Hiei, and Kurama's Filipino dub names. That's clever. And yeah, they'll be the new Shitennou with their own Youma/Droid/Daimon whores. Chaos has certainly been busy amassing these forces from the SM series. It is like a big reunion party. Yeah, I see Kujiko is revived, but then he's freed from evil control and joins Nagah's side.)
—-Ford's commentary: Then, Thetis and Udering secretly have affairs/adultery with Kaiser Kuiiza (alongside Beryl) of being submissive whores behind Dennis and Vincent's backs. During the MOTW orgy, that's why when Kuiiza and Beryl appear, Thetis and Udering openly reveal their secrets, cheating on Dennis and Vincent, and shamelessly making love with Kuiiza (and Beryl) as cuckold/netorare much to Dennis/Vincent dismay (thankfully their other whores remain faithful to them, comfort them in continue pleasuring their lovemaking).

-Want to make sure that all the MOTW is used relating to the big reunion party and don't want everyone to be left behind, since I forgot to add The London Youma and Mr. Magic Pierrot.
-I wonder will the Xenian Flower (alongside the Xenian Flower Queen and others created by you back in Shinnen), Princess Snow Kaguya, and Queen Badiane be added to the roster? I remember they first appear in Shinnen, then they're going to appear in a canon story (YYGDM-01/Sailor Wars).
-(My response: We could add the Xenian Flower Queen as the source of the Xenian along with Princess Snow Kaguya and Queen Badiane since they've only appeared in Shinnen, and this would be their first official YYGDM-01 appearances.
-Ford's commentary: Since Beryl and Kuiiza rule their new kingdom in Neo-Crystal Tokyo, they actually become an official couple. You heard me. They get married as king and queen (becoming evil counterparts to Neo-Queen Serenity and King Endymion), though subverting redeeming qualities as they both remain pure evil villains and do not have children (unlike Usa from Usagi/Mamoru).
-Neo Moon (YYGDM-01 main timeline) is going to fight and defeat Chaos Beryl in the Sailor Wars. It will be the first time she interacts with Neo Moon in canon. After ending Beryl, Neo Moon will eventually ascend to the throne after the war and Sailor Moon's passing. Her mother will fight Chaos itself.
—-One of the main locations of the Sailor Wars is D Point (The same nostalgic area of the Dark Kingdom's secret base, and when the Senshi's final battles with Beryl took place).
-Sailor O's (the dark half of Sailor Orcus) involvement in the Sailor Wars: She should never have a graceful loser moment, that Sailor O has a hateful breakdown for her final defeat and permanently ceases to exist.
-In their final moments before dying and bodies disappearing; Vincent, Avocadora, and Marzipan embrace each other and have a hot three-way kiss. In their final moments before dying and bodies disappearing; Dennis, Scar, and U-Chouten embrace each other and have an erotic three-way kiss. In their final moments before dying and bodies disappearing; Jericho and his four wives (Leshy, Amaderasu, Oniwabandana and Mizugeiko), totaling all five, embrace each other and have a passionate five-way (starway) kiss. In their final moments before dying and bodies disappearing; Mr. Valdez, Murido (turning back to her human form), and U-Tomodachi embrace each other and have a sweet three-way kiss.
-Sailor Blue Mars, Sailor Cyber Mercury, Sailor Battle Jupiter, Sailor Summoner Venus, Sailor Gao Pluto, Sailor Stellar Uranus, Sailor Tidal Neptune, Sailor Unborn Saturn, Sailor Saga vs. Morga, The Seven Great Youma (their clones have become separated from their real reincarnated selves), Papillon (a clone separate from Katarina)

-Sailor Sedna, Sailor Uranus, Sailor Neptune vs. Kaorinite/Super Kaorinite, Queen Metalia, Death Phantom, Pharaoh 90
—-Super Kaorinite tributes Super Beryl, uses this form after Kaorinite assimilates Metalia, Death Phantom, and Pharaoh 90, alongside the Witches 5 (after their deaths, their souls merge with their mistress) onto herself. While the Sailor Witches 5 draws inspirations from the Oppositio Senshi, and Kaorinite's reminds us of Shaman Apsu, Super Kaorinite's appearance reminds us of Shaman Apsu as the Deity of Destruction, her lower body dress has five serpentine colored heads attached to the Witches 5 (with Cyprine & Ptilol as a combined head (of one half is Cyprine/other half is Ptilol) as the middle) which would be like Tiamat (D&D)'s five heads and Ananta Shesha's snake heads. Super Kaorinite is sitting on herself with the snake heads being above her references Vishnu sitting on Ananta Shesha.
-Glacialis Sedna/Sren, Platinum Orcus/Tomos, Aduro Varuna/Gythos, Rosa Quaoar/Cysta, Ventus Eris, Potio Ixion, Male Eris/Eris Knight vs. Sailor O
-Tempus Pluto, Volodramon, Sailor Gao Pluto, Sailor Saga, Dramon X vs. Infinite Charon
-Neo-Queen Serenity, Sailor Neo Moon, King Endymion, Angemon X, Nagah, Morpheous, Kujiko vs. Chaos Beryl & Kaiser Kuiiza (Base and Kaijuu forms)
—-Kaiser Kuiiza's Kaijuu form appearance in writing the description looks like a combination of these two kaijū from Ultraman: King of Mons (upper body half) and Gatanothor (lower body half).
—-Both villains suffer villainous breakdowns
-Sailor Cosmos vs. Chaos
-Location is at the Galaxy Cauldron/the Source.
LazerWulf's words for Moon's passing in the Defiants mega thread email: As for Sailor Moon's becoming Sailor Cosmos, this would be the second of her three possible transformations. The third time would be (or would have been) at the end of Crystal Age, where she sacrifices herself to become Sailor Cosmos (Guardian Cosmos) permanently. When this happens, she is unable to change back and her physical body is destroyed, and her consciousness brings her to the Galaxy Cauldron, which exists in a Temporal Nexus, outside of normal Space/Time. Just like Sailor Chaos was an incarnation of Chaos while also being Sailor Charon, Sailor Cosmos is just an incarnation of the being Cosmos, while also always having been the final fate of Sailor Moon. (K: see chat from 12/22/12) It's very emotional. Usagi knows that once she transforms that third time, there's no going back, but the threat is so dire that there's no other way. She is sad to leave Endymion and Usa behind (and likewise, those two don't want her to go), but she knows she is leaving the kingdom in good hands. Thus begins the reign of Queen Serenity III.
What Isan's abilities are, such as whether he wields all the Beasts Spirits (of the limitations of wielding just one beast spirit removed unlike his predecessors), or does he have a Digimon partner like a Guilmon X (If he does, then he has an Advance Biomerger form called Guisanmon).
—Isan's voice actor: Matt K. Miller (the voice actor of Tenchi Masaki from Tenchi Muyo)
-(K's response: I also had Will Friedle (the voice of Terry McGinnis from Batman Beyond) in mind. I imagined him wielding the Beast Spirits and having a Digimon partner. He would be limited to wielding one spirit at a time so he doesn't stress his body out (and avoid him being an overpowered OC). I could see him with a Guilmon X which would be derived from the original Guilmon's data.
—Isan's appearance: A young man in his late teens with short, neck-length dark brown hair, reddish eyes, and a caramel complexion. Hair is styled to be combed down. His casual wardrobe consists of a black shirt with a light red coat, light brown khaki pants, and white tennis shoes.
-The names of Isan's forms of fusing each Beast Spirit (that includes Ouryu): Suzaisan (Suzaku + Isan), Seisan (Seiryuu + Isan), Isanbu (Genbu + Isan), Isakko (Byakko + Isan), Ourisan (Ouryu + Isan)
Have you thought of the final/last scene of Defiants/YYGDM-01 in the final chapter being set after the Sailor Wars/Moon's passing? Of letting this out early. We remember the very final song used is an Inuyasha song (Of what song are you going to use to reveal early?) as a bookend (since the first WoP Redux chapter's first song is an Inuyasha song).
(My reveal: The final scene will be the Tamers' legacy descendant named Isan (Japanese meaning for 'legacy') visiting the memorial of the past and fallen YYGDM heroes. There, he sees a girl who looks like Usagi/Sailor Moon but it's Sin of the Oppositio Senshi. At this point, Sin along with her crew have already reformed after their scuffles with Neo-Queen Serenity during the Crystal Age period. Isan and Sin are a couple. Isan mirrors Takato while Sin mirrors Rika. They have a brief chat about how the heroes sacrificed their lives and livelihoods for a better tomorrow. They hold hands and kiss, vowing to maintain the peace and without restrictions, they intend to move forward on their own terms.
The final song will be (Cue Inuyasha OST 2 - At the Meeting Place) to bookend the entire YYGDM franchise.)
Valkyrie Maiden Overview and Plans
The Valkyries (YYGDM-01)'s descriptions will be written again in Defiants in starting over from VA's creative differences and redeeming by fully embracing the old school/1990s anime aesthetics.
Brunhilde (YYGDM-01)'s description for Defiants: Upon completing her Valkyrie transformation, Brunhilde emerged wearing a full-bodied black Valkyrie armor, specifically her hands, arms, legs, feet, waist, shoulders, and helmet. Brunhilde had no armor covering her triceps and neckline, and face. She has on knee-length, high-heeled boots trimmed with gold. Her whole black body armor is trimmed with gold around the edges. Her helmet is fitted with three white feathers on the sides and an axe-like blade protruding the top of it. Beneath her black waist armor is bright red legwear. Centered on her chest armor is a red gem covered with six white feathers. Adorning her neck is a golden neck collar and hanging from her ears are golden earrings.
Sigrun (YYGDM-01)'s description for Defiants: As she completed her Valkyrie transformation, Sigrun emerged wearing magenta-colored shoulder & an open chest armor, elbow-length armored gloves, short hip-length waist armor, knee-length armored sandal boots, and a helmet. Her long, pony-tailed rose hair contrasted with her revealing magenta armor. A lock of her rose hair covered her left eye. Sigrun has no armor covering her forearms, muscular thighs, and her six-pack abdominals. Her magenta helmet has three red gems centered on the front and three white short feathers jutting from the helmet's sides. Underneath the open chest armor is a black sports bra-like clothing. The Valkyrie also has black short leggings under her short-waist armor. Adorning her neck is a long white scarf. A golden ring adorned her right bicep.
Gondul (YYGDM-01)'s description for Defiants: As she finished her Valkyrie transformation, Gondul emerged with long flowing white hair. Her entire body armor was white with some silver trimmed along some areas. On her forehead is a silver metal helmet with wings jutting from the sides and through her white hair. Slender armor adorned her shoulders. Her arms are covered in white armor, starting from her forearms to her hands, which are covered in black gloves. A black thigh-length skirt formed beneath her white waist armor. Gondul's legs were covered in knee-length white boots. Her other accessories included two golden earrings and two blue gems; one centered on her chest plate and the other centered on her silver winged headpiece. Despite her changes, she retained her black eyepatch on her left eye.
Skogul (YYGDM-01)'s description for Defiants: Upon completing her Valkyrie transformation, the now golden-haired Skogul. Emerald green armor covered her upper body, shoulders, arms, and boots. Her emerald armor is also trimmed with gold. White gloves covered her hands. Adorning the crown of her head is a golden-winged tiara with a green jewel centered on it. A long battle dress covered most of her lower body, sans a split in the front of her dress where her legs, armored boots, and a royal purple loincloth are revealed. The steel-toed sections of her boots are trimmed with gold. Her battle dress and loincloth are elaborately designed. The top sections of her dress is green trimmed with gold and triangular shapes that resemble Triforce emblems. Cascading and covering most of her lower body is a white dress layer. Embellished on the white dress are golden diamond-shaped symbols. Golden symbols are also embellished on her purple loincloth. Another golden symbol with a varying appearance is centered on the loincloth. There are two Triforce-like embellishments on the top and lower areas of her dress. Her other accessories included two gold earrings and two green metal clamps clipped on two long golden hair locks.
Skuld (YYGDM-01)'s description for Defiants: When finishing her Valkyrie transformation, Skuld's refined and straight back-length, white hair became wild and shaggy, reflecting her change from a polite and demure personality into a dangerous and feral one. Her white hair gained bright red streaks in the corners of her hair tips. Skuld emerged wearing black armored Valkyrie chest, shoulder, gloves, and knee-length, high-heeled boots. Her black armor is trimmed with silver. The lower half of her body is covered with blue leggings and white cloth hanging from the sides of her hips. Adorning her black chest armor are two blue gems; one at the center of her chest and the other on the abdomen. Her Valkyrie battle helmet is silver with a blue gem centered and three red-and-white feathers adorning the helmet's sides. Adorning her neck is a silver necklace. Her pupils became black while her irises turned yellow, imbuing her with a terrifying gaze that contrasted Sasha's kind and innocent look. Red blood, which doubled as lipstick, covered her lips. As green flames erupted from her body, a long black reaper stick formed in her right hand. A sharp silver reaper blade materialized from the pole. The reaper weapon also has a blue crystallized orb at the bottom and a blue gem inside the blade.
-All the Kill la Kill references (especially back in VA in looking back is YYGDM-01's 'attempt' to stay relevant with its fanfic tie-ins) are removed, returning Kotori/Brunhilde (YYGDM-01) (especially she was created in the early 2000s before Ryuko Matoi came to existence) and her mannerism back to her original roots in real-life pre-2010s (such as when she was first written back in Rajita in the 2000s) and no fan tie-ins. This is another major part of Kotori (YYGDM-01)'s culmination as a character since the Underworld Saga and in real-life being created in the early 2000s.
-Brunhilde's Tengen Toppa Valkyria is not going to make a reappearance in Defiants/YYGDM-01, CG's climax is a one-time deal since that form only appeared due to Universal X's presence. Following that shows the promise of the Triad going in their separate ways. Another reason is another example of why Gurren Lagann OST and inspirations/references are not going to be used, such as remember back when Brunhilde said "Just who the hell do you think I am" in DoC upon her revival? That and everything else related to Gurren Lagann is removed in Defiants/YYGDM-01.
-Adora (YYGDM-01) is given a new (retrauxed) voice actor for Defiants: Eliza Dushku (Faith (Buffy)'s actor, and helps amplify Adora (YYGDM-01)'s 'Buffy speak' relating to her abrasive personality and being the 'Spike' (though Adora (YYGDM-01) has no character development unlike Spike) of the Valkyries 'Scooby Gang'. I also remember Jeff's review of comparing Mist to Faith, so that becomes hilarious in hindsight here.).
-Other Valkyries (YYGDM-01) are given retrauxed voice actors for Defiants.
-Sigrun (YYGDM-01): Carol-Anne Day (Allenby (G Gundam)'s voice actor)
-Skuld (YYGDM-01): Megan Hollingshead (Hrist (first Valkyrie Profile game)'s voice actor)
-Gondul (YYGDM-01): Roxanne Beckford (Tea (Gargoyles)'s voice actor)
-Skogul (YYGDM-01): Irene Bedard (Pocahontas' voice actor)
-(K's response: While I'm generally ok with secondary and tertiary characters having their voices retrauxed (and I'm fine with Mist's voice being changed), but Kotori/Brunhilde (YYGDM-01) should keep hers since she's one of the YYGDM-01 Founders/Leaders and has been an important OC (and one of the few YYGDM-01 OCs who readers have cared enough about). If anything I'll greatly tone down the Kill la Kill-isms and her anger tone won't be as over the top. I'm just honestly surprised you're suggesting to 'retraux' other characters' voices since I thought this would only apply to the Blood Senshi, Bizarro Kuipers, and minor characters. Heck, the Planetary Sailor Senshi (YYGDM-01) are keeping their Viz English voices, but that can be passed since despite being a redub, it's still the 90's anime. This might be one of the few times I disagree.)
-Brunhilde (YYGDM-01) receives Sleipnir by the time of Neo-Crystal Tokyo.
-In VA/YYGDM-01 that Skogul (YYGDM-01)'s descriptions of spell movement design are shaped like an emerald spell circle = By the time of Defiants/YYGDM-01 for the retrauxed revisions, the fan tie-ins (alongside tie-in modernizations of YYGDM-01's 'attempts' to stay relevant) of Doctor Strange (MCU) are gone, and the spell movement design is shaped like an emerald spell triforce (including the reminder that the YYGDM-01 version only uses magic spells and no physical-hand-to-hand combat). Skogul (YYGDM-01)'s time triforces finally are given a proper name to be shown in Defiants/YYGDM-01 called Aevus Triforce.
-When Gondul (YYGDM-01) becomes extinct animals again, their names are not in italics alongside not having scientific accurate designs in relating to the retrauxed writing setting. T. rex is retrauxed back to T-Rex (alongside having horns (like Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal's horned T-rex) is referred to as a Horned Tyrannosaurus Rex), roars like Jurassic Park instead of the accurate real-life roar, and having pronated hands. Velociraptor name is used instead of Deinonychus, shrieks like in Jurassic Park, has slit reptilian eyes, is fully scaly like a Herrerasaurus, Utahraptor-sized, and has pronated hands instead of having feathers unlike in VA/YYGDM-01. A Brontosaurus form is used instead of a diverse Giraffititan.
Gondul (YYGDM-01)'s shapeshifting forms for Defiants/YYGDM-01:
saber-toothed lioness
Gigantopithecus-sized gorilla
African elephant with mammoth tusks
Barbary stag (it also feels like a composite character tribute to the Erinyes (YYGDM-01) having deer partners)
horned Tyrannosaurus Rex (based on the ones from Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal, it also loosely references back when Gondul (Corner) became a Ceratosaurus in the Cross Gen Intermission that some form makes it to a non-Cornerverse work, which only has the nose horn like that dinosaur and Primal's horned Tyrannosaurus, the T-rex has pronated hands)
Velociraptor (the full-out slit-reptilian eyed, scaly pop culture kind that's Utahraptor-sized and pronated hands; the colors of the scales are the same as the spotted hyena in tributing the hyenas controlled by Aerialvern in VA Ch 4, the body and facial structures are shaped like a Herrerasaurus with the feet sickle claws (for inaccuracy slashing) as part of the inaccurate aesthetics; these references the Raptor Attack's Playing With Trope of Exaggerated saying "The Velociraptor does not have feathers, is Utahraptor-sized, extremely intelligent, and lives in North America in the Triassic." (Of what I underline to match such as Herrerasaurus-Triassic))
Brontosaurus
Stegosaurus
Pteranodon (with its full inaccuracies such as bat-like wings rather than anatomically correct pterosaur ones)
Mosasaurus (inaccuracies like its gigantic size like the JW version)
Dimetrodon
Ichthyostega
pygmy falcon
Hippopotamus
human-sized King baboon spider (referencing Anansi)
human-sized goliath tigerfish
Spinosaurus (with the bipedal (and JP3 2001 appearance like its crocodilian head structure and sail shape before scientifically accurate revisions) inaccuracies, pronated hands, and roar like JP3)
Triceratops (alongside having Styracosaurus frill horns)
Parasaurolophus (and having colors of the Kaadu from Star Wars)
Gallimimus (and having colors of an ostrich)
saber-toothed cheetah (appearance is a modern cheetah with Smilodon teeth)
saber-toothed tiger (appearance is a modern tiger with the orange fur, black stripes, and Smilodon teeth)
okapi (has a trunk of a Macrauchenia, referencing Geiravor (YYGDM-01) reincarnated to that animal)
shoebill
Nile crocodile (and the size is the same as a Deinosuchus)
-For Mist (YYGDM-01)'s personality/portrayal of Lazer saying "With Grimhilde's influence gone, the idea was to have Adora see some sort of long redemption arc. Granted, she has a lot to make up for, but she won't see a complete 180 personality shift (Ford's reply: Unlike Vegeta going from ruthless cold-hearted murder as a villain to genuine caring family man as a hero). While she'll remain abrasive toward others, she won't be as much as a mean-spirited bitch to them." So, ignoring other versions where they are at least develop genuine respect in friendly terms and at times being friends. This remains an Un-Reboot of solely focusing on the YYGDM-01 version. Showing that Kotori (YYGDM-01) and Adora (YYGDM-01) are still at odds sneering at each other and don't hold back in butting head insults to one another. It's still averting Draco in Leather Pants and rose-colored glasses of Mist (YYGDM-01), reflecting Lazer/you taking the YYGDM-01 version and turning her into what Lazer/you want her/need her to be, such as would not have given her a specific arc (different from Lazer's proposal of redemption arc of Adora (YYGDM-01) being friendly and becoming genuine friends, which she remains not, and remains abrasive) to shine and let everyone "understand" Adora (YYGDM-01) (Meaning, even though Adora (YYGDM-01) has her long redemption arc and whether she and Kenta will have a Valkyrie daughter, that does not mean Kotori/Valkyries/Beast Tamers/others will properly be friends with her and are remain acquaintances even if a millennia passes by the time Neo-Crystal Tokyo happens, this is averting Goku/Vegeta & Omega X/Metalla X (alongside Ryuko/Satsuki and Midoriya/Bakugo)'s rivalries and be more like a tribute to Goku/Freeza & Omega X/Burizalor (alongside Neo Omega X/Kurizalor, Batman/Joker, He-Man/Skeletor, and Teela/Evil-Lyn)'s interactions). You understand what I'm interpreting? (K's addendum: Yes, I understand. Adora (YYGDM-01) doesn't need a deep redemption arc and a big personality shift since we've already seen plenty of characters go through with it. And as you've already mentioned, the other variations of Mist are at least redeemed, good, or wholly different characters than Mist (YYGDM-01).
-The Valkyrie daughters of the Valkyries (Shin-YYGDM/Advent) simply have their powers/abilities/genes traced/hereditary/passed down from their parents. This is a big difference from what we remember Lazer once told us for the Neo Valkyries (YYGDM-01) of their nature to be used in the YYGDM-01 continuity. Here's what Lazer told Allfather-Ford: "Speaking of new characters, I'll tell you (Ford) what I told K, that, at this point, I am a bit uneasy with the concept of Neo Valkyrie. For one, it means 5 new characters we're introducing on top of the 10(!) new Neo Senshi. For another, I'm not so sure that Valkyrie powers are hereditary. Unlike the Senshi, who have a Star Seed that they can pass down to their successors, the Valkyrie get their powers from their previous lives. I'm not completely against the idea, but I think we should save this discussion for if/when we do Crystal Age (Ford's response of the last sentence: Which TCA will happen in Defiants' epilogue)." My response to this: "plus Valkyrie power inheritance plays out differently than how Senshi acquire theirs through Star Seeds."
-Differences between Brunhilde's daughters: Brunhilde/David's daughter in Shin-YYGDM was revealed as Aslaug. Brunhilde/Kouichi's daughter in YYGDM-01 is planned to be named Hitori, which is a name that a friend (Belletiger) suggested.
-The fate of Kenta and Mist in YYGDM-01: They will be hanging around Neo-Crystal Tokyo (or even Asgard if the Valkyries choose to go there), and they'll conceive a daughter named Jocelyn.
–Roster of the Neo Valkyries (YYGDM-01): Hitori/Neo Brunhilde, Elise/Svart Skuld, Linkle/Ocarina Skogul, Rozanne/Lios Gondul, Emily (LazerWulf's words on Discord: As for Svava Sigrun, I've always been partial to the name Emily, so I guess she could be Emily Summers-Bainard? (We don't already have an Emily, do we? It's so hard to keep track))/Svava Sigrun, Jocelyn/Neo Mist
-(My response: We don't have an Emily. I already checked. Svava Sigrun can be named Emily. I've decided on Elise for Svart Skuld and Jocelyn for Neo Mist.)
-In building up more of what Lazer said "For another, I'm not so sure that Valkyrie powers are hereditary. Unlike the Senshi, who have a Star Seed that they can pass down to their successors, the Valkyrie get their powers from their previous lives." In building up more of the Neo Valkyries, I feel that they are more of a diverse team of different bloodlines of the Nine Realms (I remember the Nine Realm Defenders of Cornerverse that composes of folks of different realms, this concept has been loosely adapted to a canon story at last with a diverse bloodline of Neo Valkyries (YYGDM-01)). Hitori/Neo Brunhilde has Frost Giant bloodline within her mother, Svart Skuld has Hela/Loki's family bloodline, and Emily/Svava Sigrun represents the most human relating to the badass normal besides wielding thunder powers like her mother.
–However, Ocarina Skogul and Lios Gondul are actually different beings (not adopted daughters, more like students like Skogul being Pluto's student) to show how different the YYGDM-01 continuity is from works (including Cornerverse to remember) outside of it. Ford/Skogul (YYGDM-01) actually gives birth to a biological son (only child) (and he'll have a different name that fits YYGDM-01's aesthetics) that'll be Heimdall's successor. It is revealed that a female Seelie (having white skin) of Alfheim is going to be the identity of Ocarina Skogul (relating more to the elven ears like Zelda/Link, that's why she's named Linkle) (This is also to make up the atonement of VA's creative differences (and especially me personally of the old shame of self-insert when looking back), and to make up/redeem for this in restoring Lazer's concepts for YYGDM-01). Likewise, a female Berserker of Svartalfheim is going to be the identity of Lios Gondul (and learn to harness a form of light energy of her home realm) (And especially understanding in restoring Lazer's concepts (and back in VA's developments) in the end, Gondul (YYGDM-01) is not going to give birth to a biological child).
–Because of a Neo Mist from Mist/Kenta and having Grimhilde's family bloodline, we wonder about her has her own team (no, they are not referred to as Neo Erinyes, because Neo Mist and her team are still part of the Neo Valkyries, totaling 10 members). Molten Reginleif will be a female Fire Giant. Ocarina Geirskogul will be a female Unseelie (having black skin, counterpart of Ocarina Skogul). Myrk Geiravor will be a female Hexenwulf. And Stomper Rota will be a female Dwarf.
-One of the ideas is pairing up Ford/Skogul (YYGDM-01)'s son with Ocarina Skogul and Ocarina Geirskogul as a threesome couple.
The music/OST to be used in Wrath of the Defiants (That gives a retro and old school anime-feeling relating to YYGDM-01's reputation, alongside songs that are not used in past stories are used for the first time exclusively in Defiants/YYGDM-01 of how that different feeling it is. What specific songs to use in certain scenes.):

After the full Defiants/YYGDM-01 unmark spoiler outline A/N is written in Shin-YYGDM's final chapter, although it's relieving that I'll finally empty and not bottling all of these and reveal everything in the story while not holding back for my future and only a few readers are going to read Defiants/YYGDM-01, at the same time, an armor-piercing question ask/tells me (and others like Lazer and Lycosyncer): Am I really truly happy? This relates to what I said back in the final Gaiden, "YuYuGiDigiMoon is different because it's stuck with me this long. It became part of my creative identity. And I've wrapped up every story, except the finale yet to be written." It's just that had it not been for the burnout and creative differences Defiants/YYGDM-01 could have concluded in 2022 instead of Shin-YYGDM's adaptation. If I'm being honest, I am happy to have been relieved from writing any YYGDM-01 stories for over two years (I'd argue four years if I don't count the aforementioned Gaiden chapter and Triad crossover events such as Cross Generations). Being able to explore other fandoms such as Persona, Code Vein, and Shin Megami Tensei has been a refreshing experience. I've been able to write experimental stories based on Persona 5 and Code Vein, and write a rebooted YYGDM-01 short series. It's allowed me to write my novel and expand on its concepts. Having spent 15+ years on YYGDM-01, it was time for a change. Time to explore other creative avenues. A couple of years away from YYGDM-01 will allow me to go back and finish what I started with a refreshed mindset. I'd rather finish YYGDM-01 when I'm ready and willing than if I'm burned out and lacking creativity.
With the completion of Shin-YYGDM, I'll be coming back to my long-term crossover series with renewed interest. Unless I become fully committed to writing my future novels or I don't want to willfully commit myself to finish the story, 2023 will be my return to YYGDM-01.
I'm not going back to finish YYGDM-01 to please a vocal minority that've been pleading and even annoyingly badgered me. I'll do it because I want to on my terms.
-Ford's talk with me about Darth's comments from last year about Cross Generations' final chapter: I know you haven't read Darth's review in the final CG chapter, but I'm copying/pasting this from him, I honestly feel mixed about this (though I can understand the 'finish strong' part relating to YYGDM-01's two endings and being the permanent real closure of fanfictions):
-Darth's comments from his Cross Generation final chapter review: "I guess, more then any of the minor issues at times you come across like you just want to be done with it, I seen both in this and Urban Legends you said you just wanted to get it over with to move on, and if the author is not hyped up about his story how are we readers suppose to feel passionate about it? I do hope that when you do get back to Wrath of the Defiants you will feel like its something you want to write, the YYGDM-01 reality deserves a proper finale to finish strong. We come a long way since the start where four groups of anime hero's teamed up to smack down a rouge Pharaoh Digimon, sometimes it felt like its come so far its quite a juggling act keeping up with all the parties taking part in the fun, but its always a wild ride lol."
-(My response: I stopped paying attention to Darth's reviews honestly and partly why I'm not active on discord. I can't deal with his cynicism and sometimes pushy attitude. His constant craving for the Wrath of Defiants ending just annoys me to this point. And if that doesn't satisfy him? What then? And now I just read this review of the final CG chapter. And where does he get the sense I wanted to finish CG in a hurry? I enjoyed writing CG despite the heavy lengths in the final chapters. I only did that with Urban Legends because Akane no Mai was becoming a priority. I don't like how he can make assumptions about me. And another thing that bothers me even now is his constant need to reference Star Wars and Kylo Ren in his reviews. I can safely say, (for the foreseeable future until I say otherwise) we're not allowing him to read and review Ascendancy (Chapters 71+) going forward. (Also for the foreseeable future) I do not want him touching that or any of my Digimon Fusion Kai stories that he hasn't reviewed yet. The more he hopes for Wrath of Defiants to conclude YYGDM-01, the more I don't even want to do it. Yes, that sounds petty and spiteful, but why even bother when only a few people are going to read Wrath of Defiants.)
Special Earful Message to Darth Necron (Darth Zannacross of Discord): Now that I've gone all-out and given away the full outline spoilers for Defiants, it's time that I address an individual who's not only been one of my harshest critics (My Discord comment (4/30/21): But, it seems you've been more critical of my works than probably other fanfic writers. I'm not sure how I feel about your cynicism trying to bring down my spirits. And yes, you are the vocal minority because most of everyone else I know who read it liked the Cross Generations final battle. Even Generic Reviewer, which surprised me. So, I'm sorry I disappointed you between this and Urban Legends. Fine and you have the right to feel that way. It's whatever now. But, I will say after you finish CG, I ask you not to bother with looking at Ascendancy. It's just 'deja-vu' as you like you say in your reviews. You're the first one to give Cross Generations harsh reviews. You might not be the first but so far you're the only one. So, congrats on being the first. Even Generic Reviewer (and even LazerWulf and Allfather-Ford) was never this harsh.) but has pressed me many times about when YYGDM-01's Wrath of the Defiants will come out. Darth Necron, your tentative answer is November 30, 2023 (20-years since the original Wrath of Pharaohmon fic was released), but even then I can't make any promises. Plans can change with my hopeful professional novel venture headed for me.
(My Discord comments from 2/11/21: I am a bit sad you had to be cynical about the villains of those stories. I did the best I could with Chaosblazer's Accel villains but in the case of GranDracmon, you only got his last stand and not his whole arc. So yes, you missed out on him having an overall larger presence. He may not be 'great' but he was somewhat passable for me. But, I disagree about big original villains failing to live up to the hype. That is presumably based on your experience and your fic writings. I don't expect all of my (or someone else's) big OC villains to be great or memorable. Just as long as they provide some kind of obstacle for the heroes, that's the bare minimum I can deal with. While not every one of my OC villains has knocked it out of the park, I've had a few standouts that readers have enjoyed. Examples, just from YYGDM-01, I've had folks say they liked Charon (she got a lot of love from a few long-time readers of mine), Ghidorah (original), Pharaohmon, Yami Houou, Arago (original), and Cain Bearer (though he's not a big bad yet). From my DFKai series, my Freeza, Cell, and Z Broly expies (Burizalor, Virus, and GalacticNova X respectively) are the most memorable big bad villains that readers of mine greatly enjoyed. In fact, Burizalor might be my favorite OC villain I've written (even though he's just Digital Freeza with a different name). I know you mentioned in DoC, you wished characters from Bleach would've shown up instead of OCs for some YYH/Bleach crossover I guess. Well, that would've required me to bring them in through dimension traveling shenanigans (which has been shown to be very possible), but I decided against it. My reasoning is that I felt the Bleach characters would've taken away attention from the Sailor Moon, Yu-Gi-Oh, the Digimon, and my OC characters. Moreover, at the time of DoC's release, Bleach was still popular and more so than the series I mentioned. By the time DoC was done, Bleach's anime long ended and its popularity greatly dwindled. Plus, I personally had seen enough Bleach and Naruto crossovers on . There were too many of them, especially in Naruto's case. I didn't just want to suddenly force actual Bleach characters into the YYGDM main narrative. I'm sorry that certain aspects of my stories didn't live up to whatever hype you might've had. I'm not telling you to change, but I have every right to respond to criticism. Just wish a few of your reviews didn't come off too cynical. It kind of rubs me the wrong way. With all due respect, I don't like being made an example. I guess when you put it that way, then my DFKai main villains aren't crossover bad guys since they never crossover into YYGDM. They're baddies in the DFKai universe and are expies of existing villains. So, technically Burizalor and Virus, for example, are Freeza and Cell but with different names but share their qualities and such. Those two at least have more going for them than GranDracmon and Paradixalmon, and they have longer story arcs to give them time to damage the DFKai heroes. While it's true original villains in crossover events are mostly 'misses', there are few exceptions.)
(My Discord comments from 4/24/21: Ok, I've been catching up on your reviews. A lot of good and insightful commentary, but did you need to 'rub salt on the wound' in that last review? That was a bit unnecessary. I don't take cynical remarks toward me lightly. On the other hand, I don't care if you're doing it toward a character.)
Listen, Darth Necron. This will be the final straw. Let me make this clear. As even my Profile FAQ states, "When is the series finale (YuYuGiDigiMoon: Wrath of the Defiants) coming out?" I gave my decisive answer there. The official date has been posted. I also said I would not answer this question in PMs, discord, or wherever. However, you've been the one constantly asking for it. And for the future, when Defiants is finally out and there haven't been frequent updates, don't ask and rush for me for the next chapter. It even came to a point where you just dismissed Shin-YYGDM just to ask about YYGDM-01 Defiants. Addressing this became more irksome as time went along ever since you first asked about it in your final review for Cross Generations' final chapter. You've been rather pushy and obsessed that your behavior got under my skin. Fuck man. Even in your reviews, you constantly feel the need to drop Star Wars references (and don't get me started on you mentioning Kylo fucking Ren and comparing some characters to him) in chapters that have nothing to do with Star Wars. It had gotten to the point where I was tired of hearing about Star Wars. Was there any need to force Star Wars references in your reviews? I get your name is Darth but come the fuck on. Enough.
(My supplementary words: I swear I haven't let Darth's cynicism and outright harshness convert me into an outright self-loathing person. He's sadly going to be one of those overly cynical 'assholes' who'll be 'honest' with his scathing criticisms (which I don't buy into his 'honesty' because I haven't seen him leaving 'honest' scathing commentary/criticism toward other fanfic writers' stories as he's done with my mine. He's almost always leaving glowing and fun reviews for Key's story. The 'honesty' Darth brings up smells like bullshit to me. And not to sound too dickish, but showing the full-on YYGDM-01 Defiant spoilers in the final Shin-YYGDM chapter will be a nice 'fuck you' to Darth's nagging us about the final YYGDM-01 story and downplaying Shin. Oh well, you reap what you sow, Darth. :P)
By the way, even though I've already said this to you before, it bears repeating. I'm calling out your bullshit about your 'honesty' with your reviews. Gee, how convenient that you're brutally and 'exclusively' honest with me but never anyone else's stories you've reviewed? Yeah, you've given me plenty of props and praise, and fair non-judgmental criticism. Those are fine and dandy, but the unnecessarily harsh, unapologetic 'trollish', and cynical remarks? I didn't ask for them. But, what's even more bothersome? Making assumptions about me when you don't even know me or what makes me tick. That fucking bothers me. So much that it aggravates my anxiety. I'd call that selfish if you ask me. There are other and better ways to convey your message without being an insensitive jerk. Consider this the final wake-up call for you. No, this is my ultimatum with you. I'm not filtering out what I say here because if I do, who's to say you'll just fall back to your cynical status quo as if nothing happened. I'm done being nice. Do take what I say to heart. I have nothing personal against you. That said, this is the final nail in the coffin of our disputes.
Final A/N: Finally, I've said my piece and am ready to move away from long-term fanfics like YuYuGiDigiMoon. I've done all I can with it. Outside of Defiants (if and when it ever comes out on Nov. 30, 2023), it's over.
Going forward, I can shift gears with a greater focus on my novel writing without YYGDM-01 hindering me. I'll only have a handful of ongoing fics left and they won't be as time consuming. One of them only has 2 chapters left!
So for my YuYuGiDigiMoon readers and followers, until the day Wrath of the Defiants comes out, this is goodbye to the greater YYGDM franchise. And from the bottom of my heart, I humbly say, "Thank you."
