Ami's Argument
Black Beyond
~'~
Well, here's Ami's Argument. Not much to say, except Ami's... well, she's not quite sane. Really. All those fights must have knocked a screw loose. ^_^ Just joking. But she is kind of OOC... about the same as Mako's Rant.
To Drew: The beginning starts off futuristic. That was Makoto a long time in the future talking about the past. Sorry if I confused anymore of you.
Hehe...
~'~
If you want my candid opinion, this is
completely and totally Motoki's fault. I always
suspected there was something sadistic about his so
called 'charming smile'.
I mean, it was his fault for not fainting. It
was his fault for being there. It was his fault for
being both Minako's and Makoto's crush, so that they
just *had* to transform to save him the 'indiginity'
of being drained.
That youma! Ooo... the Dark Kingdom is going
to have one heck-o-lulu of an extended winter when I get my
hands on them! Sending a youma right into the clutches
of the two most boy-crazy, ditzy, no-brained, never-
think-before-they-act senshi! That should be illegal!
Really! And I thought they had a little dignity!
And it was Motoki who figured it out, not me,
the branis of the senshi, that Mamoru Chiba was Tuxedo
Kamen! That screams negative vibes if anything does!
Not that I'm perfect, but I'm a senshi, and well...
He wears an apron!
Who am I? Mizuno Ami, senshi of Mercury, and
I hold the power of ice. And I'm one angry blue-haired
senshi.
Why, you ask, innocently?
You don't read the paper much, do you? Well,
you've heard about it by now. It's only on every
single television station, radio show, newpaper, and
magazine on the earth! You can't've missed it, unless
you've been locked away in the Sahara Desert for the
last two days.
I'm a calm, nice, non-violent person.
Usually. But you see, people change. I believe it's
called an 'out of character moment'.
I'm starting an 'out of character life'.
It was a completely normal day. I'm happy,
I've got lots of homework to look forward to, learning
the fiftyth french word of the day, when none other
than Umino passed me.
I usually didn't pay attenion of Umino. But
that slight fact he was waving around a printout from
his infamous computer and screaming something *very*
noticeible snagged my attention.
"THE SENSHI HAVE BEEN REVEALED!"
I hate all security cameras. They were
invented by a minion of the Dark Kingdom. I, one day,
shall find proof of this and ban them.
Apparently, Makoto and Minako had transformed
in front of one of the security cameras Umino happened
to have bugged.
Don't ask, I was afraid to.
The internet is evil. Printers are evil.
Umino is a discarded youma in disguise. I'm sorry, but
it's true. It's the only possible explanation I could
think of.
I told Luna. Luna spazzed. Luna went to go
rant at Usagi. I told Artemis. Artemis spazzed. He
called Makoto and Minako to the temple.
I really didn't mean to begin throwing
textbooks at them. I'm sure Artemis's attacks and
Rei's fireballs were accidents as well.
Really.
But that's not the interesting part.
All of Tokyo knew within five minutes,
courtesy of Umino via Internet. It was up on the
news stations within twenty-four hours, as soon as the
experts claimed the tapes valid. Everyone went to work
on the rest of us.
Usagi was the next to be discovered. It
wasn't a hard match. Odangos, people. Odangos. How
many people in Tokyo have the same blonde odangos with
long streamers of hair? Two: Sailor Moon, Tsukino
Usagi.I was next.
There are other people who have blue hair.
But there's not many people who have short, bluish-
green hair and an IQ that's off the charts.
Rei was last. She was the hardest of all,
because she looked typical. But of course, someone
found out somehow.... no names.... *cough* Mina-
*cough* -ko *cough*.
Darn it, when I get my not-so-gentle hands on
Motoki, he will have seen his last sunrise. It's
totally, and completely his fault. And did he ever
know it...
~'~
... As he flashed that ever-so charmingly
innocent smile at Makoto and Minako, who sighed and
swooned, respectively. Usagi was currently paying
attention to the largest chocolate shake I've ever
seen, moaning about how her life was over. Rei was
yelling at whoever would listen or whoever she could
force to listen.
I was glaring at Motoki.
"So, where's Mamoru-san?" Minako asked
Motoki, in a sultry tone that I had to whince at.
Shameless!
"I think he'll be around any second now--"
"EEP! Motoki-chan, I can't see him!" Usagi
moaned, scramblign voer the counter and hiding behind
it, somewhere near Motoki's knees.
"WHy not, Usagi-chan? I thought you liked
Mamo-- OW!" He grimaced as she punched/kicked/elbowed
him.
"She hates Mamoru-san and loves Tuxedo
Kamen." Makoto informed him. "Finding out the two were
the same was a little harsh for her."
A small hand snatched the shake off the
counter and back behind it, and sobs could be heard.
"It's not *sob* fair, I *sob* can't take
*sob* it. Satan is *sob sob* TUXEDO KAMEN!" She broke
into tears.
I continued to glare at Motoki.
"Someone had better get Rei before she does
the fireball thing again." Makoto looked fearfully
over at Rei, who was terrizing a teenage boy who was
looking like he wanted help badly.
"I'm not getting burned again!" Minako
shrieked.
"She can throw fireballs?" Motoki asked.
"Man, that's so cool! Rei-chan! Rei-chan!"
"No!" Makoto and Minako both screeched.
Too late.
"What is it, Motoki-san?" Rei turned around,
and boy escaped.
"Can you really throw fireballs?"
Rei brightened at the chance to show off, and
she pulled Motoki off to the side to show him how she
could make fire of any color.
I glared at him.
"Mamoru-kun!" Motoki chirped happily, as
the college student dragged himself through the
glass doors.
"Hey, Motoki. Say, did yuo hear about Odango
Atama? Some wacko thinks she's Sailor Moon."
"She is Sailor Moon!" Makoto said
indignitily. "Didn't you read the newspapers?!
"Yeah. And you're Sailor Jupiter." Mamoru
shot back dryly.
"I totally resent that!" Makoto had her
henshin pen out before I could say a word.
"NO MAKOTO!"
Too late. Again.
"Jupiter Power, Make up!"
"Ah, what the heck! Venus Power, Make up!"
"Not without me you don't! Moon Prism Power
Make up!"
Of course, Rei couldn't resist.
"Mars Power Make up!"
Now having surprised Mamoru thoroughly, they
turned to me.
"Do it, Ami."
"No way."
"Yes way." Jupiter looked ready tyo
electrocute me, so I...
"Mercury Power Make up!" I held up my wand
and let the ribbons of icey water hit me. I hate being
manipulated....
"SHABON SPRAY!"
I'm not usually an inpulsive senshi. I think
things otu well. But at the moment, I wanted to get
far away. Best thing to do? Throw fog and escpae.
And that's exactly what i did.
I never though about the fact I taught Sailor
Moon how to see through it...
~'~
... because I was busy outrunning the huge
mob screaming for autographs and pieces of my fuku. As
if.
I was about to give up and face the giant
crowd of fans when all of a suddenly I ran into
something.
Something big.
Something green.
Something stinky.
Something... urgh... gooey.
The mob turned tail and ran. Not that I could
blame them. This was the worst youma I've ever seen.
It was a big glob that smelled like a dead rat that'd
been out in the sun a few days.
"Ami-chan... EEP!"
"Sailor Moon, come on!" I yelled at the other
senshi who had miraclously followed me.
"No problem! Supreme Thunder!"
You know, one day, sometimes, Jupiter's going
to get in real trouble because of her impulsiveness.
"NOOOO! DON'T!" I yelled, a full point two
seconds before the lightning hit the glob of guck.
It exploded, showering everyone with globs of
the stuff.
"ARGH! JUPITER!" Sailor Moon screamed, trying
to pull it from her hair. "This is SO not funny!"
Zoisite appeared in the air above us. I saw
the look on his face, and it took my mind less than a
secnod to figure out his plan.
"No! Run!" I yelled.
Too late. DAMNIT! TOO FREAKING LATE!
"Glodous! Capture!" Zoisite yelled.
The globs that were on us grew and grew until
everything but our heads were trapped. Like jello
molds! I had been reduced to a jello mold! INJUSTICE!
"Now we just have to wait for your precious
Tuxedo Kamen to hop along and we can have ourselves a
party." Zoisite smirked and laughed that hideous laugh
of his.
Predictably, Tuxedo Kamen showed up in the
nick of time-- or what would have been if WE WEREN'T
TRAPPED INSIDE THE SLIME MONSTER FROM THE DARK
KINGDOM!
Stress is an evil thing.
"The senshi of Tokyo cannot be exploited in
this way--"
"CAN IT, MAMORU!" Mars yelled at him. "GET US
OUT OF HERE!"
Tuxedo Kamen seemed miffed at being cut off
in the middle of one of his corny speeches, but threw
a rose at the ooze holding Sailor Mars.
The rose simply made a splat sound and the
ooze enveloped it happily. There was no way Tux-boy
was getting us out of *this* mess.
Unless...
"Tuxedo Kamen, hand over your nijizuishous and
I'll release them." Zoisite was much too smug. He'd be
the first to go when I got out of the ooze.
Tuxedo Kamen looked from us, the helpless
five senshi, to the arrogant general, and then back to
us.
Jupiter has a serious ego problem.
"Don't do it!" Jupiter yelled. "We'll be
fine! Save your crystals!"
Of course, Mamoru was a sucker for a damsel
in distess. He forked up the two nuizuisou and handed
them to Zoisite, inbetween death glares at the
general.
"Arigato, Tuxedo Kamen-baka! Glodous! Finish
them off!"
Kunzite appeared behind Zoisite, five
nijizuishou in hand.
It happened too fast, really. The next thing
I knew, Zoisite had thrown the two nijizuishou at
Kunzite and then Tuxedo Kamen lay on the ground right
in front of Sailor Moon, blood pooling underneath him.
Not a funny thing, but Zoisite found it
hilarous.
Too much for my frazzled mind.
"SHABON SPRAY!" I shouted, forgetting for the
instant that my hands were trapped. I ended up
freezing the glob around me, and nearly freezing
myself in the process.
But somehow, I, the weakest senshi, managed
to get free. The icey glob cracked easily when frozen
and I was free.
I quickly freed Sailor Moon, who was white
faced and pale at the sight of Tuxedo kamen, mask-
less, scarlet soaking into the pavement and running...
She cried. And it wasn't ordinary tears. As
one of them streaked down her cheek, it began to grow
brightly.
I opened my visor, ignoring the other senshi.
I was getting this down, come hell or high water.
I looked up at Kunzite's frustrated yell. The
nijizuishous were floating away from him. Why on earth
were they doing that? They were heading for...
Usagi didn't seem to notice as the seven
colorful crystals circled around her and then mized
with her tears, letting off a brilliant flash of
light.
I watched as Zoisite's jaw dropped. Kuznite's
soon followed. Not really wanting to, I looked at my
princess again.
My own jaw dropped.
You see, at that moment, it became quite
clear that our ditzy leader had a lot more going for
her than any of us gave her credit for, because at
that moment, our ditzy leader was in a royal-looking
gown, the ginzuiishou in her hands, a moon insignia on
her forehead, and an expression full of fury and
serenity that only she could wear and still look
beautiful.
The ginzuishou lowered itself onto the moon
wand in a flash of light.
And she opened her eyes.
She was the moon princess.
That awe-inspiring moment was broekn by a
loud yell.
"ODANGO ATAMA! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!" Mars
screeched. "She's the friggin' moon princess!"
"Thank you, Mars, for stating the obvious."
Venus said. "I knew it. I knew it I knew it I knew
it!" She squirmed until she was free of her confines.
The princess didn't seem to hear any of this
as she raised her ginzuishou in the air. Almost
instantly, the blood that was flowing from Tuxedo
Kamen ceased, as he groaned as we began to wake up.
I looked down at my computer.
"WHAT?!" I yelled, totally ruining that
moment as well. "NO! The ginzuishou's messing it up!
NO! I didn't get any of that! Kami, why?! WHY?!" I
ranted.
Venus danced over and put both of her hands
over my mouth, effectiviely silencing me as Serenity
looked at Zoisite, her next target.
"Uh-oh..."
"Cosmic Moon Power!"
Uh-oh was a tad of an understatement. Okay,
it was probably tghe world's biggest udnerstatment. It
was like saying the Universe is big. It was like
saying Mount Everest is tall. It was like saying
Jupiter has agressive tendicies. It was like...
You get the idea.
The energy slammed into Zoisite at a rate I
would be able to tell you if the guinzuishou wasn't
royally screwing with my computer. He was dead, there
was no question about that,
Kunzite caught his dead lover, sent Serenity
a look I never want to be directed at myself, and
teleported away cursing so badly it would have
tramitized a child had a child heard it.
Mars gasped as Tuxedo Kamen disappeared in a
vortex of dark power just after Serenity collapsed,
turning back into Sailor Moon.
"That's it, Luna is going to have a cow!" Mars yelled...
~~"~~
Yet another understatment. In comparitive
terms, our precious Luna had an elephant. As soon as
I proved it, she promptly fainted. Artemis's example
did not fall far from this.
It was still Motoki's fault. As soon as I get
done scanning the ginzuishou, I'm going to get him,
you just wait and watch me...
But that's for another day. Now, Minako, if
you'll kindly stop waving your arms about and pointing
to the sign that says 'my turn', I'd like to have a
nice cup of tea and plot Motoki's demise...
He'll have one chilly day sometime in the
near future, believe you me...
If I cackled evilly right now, do you think
Minako would be alarmed?
~~'~~
Er, the next one will be entitled Minako's Medley,
I believe, unless I'm feeling evil and decide Minako
shall speak last... hehe...
