Several hours later, the various Senshi troops were already searching through the city.

Mamoru checked the list. "Well, won't this be fun..." he grumbled. "The first daimon on the list has the ability to fly and create supersonic blasts..."

Usagi peered over his shoulder. Chibiusa jumped up next to them, but couldn't see anything. "Hey, I wanna see too!"

Usagi sweat-dropped. "It likes to drink sake and other alcoholic beverages?"

Mamoru shrugged. "Well, I guess everyone has his flaws..."

----

In the biggest and finest bar of the neighborhood, the owner lazily cleaned his counter with a rag, whistling a tune. It was still pretty early, so he didn't expect any customers.

That's when he heard the door to his establishment opening.

'A customer?' his slow brain wondered. 'That early? Ah, I know who that is...'

And without looking up from his work, he asked in his grumpy voice: "What can I do for you, Miss Mishima?"

When he didn't get an answer, he looked up... and right into the face of a furred being with pointy fangs, big ears and an enormous wingspan.

"Hey there!" Nabiki grinned. "Can a girl get something to drink here?"

"WHAAAAAAAH!" the bartender yelled, ran out from behind his counter and out of his bar.

The bat-girl looked after him. "Geeze, he's acting like he never saw a human-sized bat before." She shrugged. "Oh well..."

Her gaze then fell onto the BIIIIIG amount of alcoholic beverages standing inside the shelves behind the counter.

"Well, helloooooo there," she grinned.

----

Usagi, Chibiusa and Mamoru were just walking past the bar, when the owner came running out, shouting: "Help me! Save me! A VAMPIRE!"

Usagi and Mamoru looked at each other. "A vampire in a bar?" Usagi wondered.

Mamoru sighed. "Has to be our little Miss 'Swig-a-lot'..."

They headed inside... and were staring at an absurd scene.

Numerous bottles of all kinds of alcoholic drinks were littered all over the counter and floor, and behind the counter, the antropomorphic bat was guzzling one bottle of booze after another.

"Wheeeee..." Nabiki chanted. "Now thish ish life... (hic) Heeeyyyoouuu... wanna have shome ash well? (hic)"

"I've never seen a boozy daimon before..." Usagi muttered. "How many do you think she had?"

"I'm sorry," Chibiusa replied to the daimon. "But I'm a child and not allowed to drink."

"Nooo?" Nabiki wondered. "Now that'sh a shame... Oh well... (hic) I guessh I'll be off, then... (hic)"

She climbed onto the counter and prepared for takeoff.

"We have to stop her," Mamoru shouted. "When she flies away, we'll have a hard time catching her."

"I've got her!" Usagi shouted and lunged for the bat.

"No, I've got her!" Chibiusa yelled and dove for the bat as well.

CLONG!

At the last minute, Nabiki had managed to jump over the two odango'ed girls' heads and soared towards the exit. As a result, Chibiusa's and Usagi's heads had collided with each other.

BONK! Nabiki collided with the door frame, but kept on flying.

"Ouch..." she muttered. "Gotta be careful... shomehow, my balanshe ish totally off... (hic) Perhapsh I need shome shtronger shtuff..."

"Hey, come back here!" Mamoru shouted and ran after her.

Outside, he realized that she was too far away from the ground that he might have a chance of catching her. And he could not transform into Tuxedo Kamen right here in the middle of the street... It would've been to late, anyway.

So he did the next logical thing: He picked up a stone that was lying on the pavement and threw it after the flying bat (whose flight path was slightly... wobbly).

His aim was perfect, his immediate reaction admirable... but he could not predict the slight 'staggering' in Nabiki's flight path, so the stone missed the bat when she slightly tilted to the right... and the thrown object crashed right into the window of a jewelry shop.

Mamoru winced when immediately, the alarm of the shop went off.

The shop's owner ran out on the street and gasped as he saw what happened to his window. "HELP! POLICE! I'M BEING ROBBED!"

Mamoru hastily shook his head. "Nonono... it was the bat!"

----

Police officer Leon McNichol was just on patrol, when he heard the alarm and the cries of the shop owner.

He turned around the corner, saw the dark-haired man who had obviously thrown a stone into the broken window, and raised his gun. "Okay, pal," he shouted. "Hands up into the air!"

The young man in front of him stuttered: "B-but you don't understand... It was because of that bat-girl..."

"Yeah, right..." Leon grumbled. "I said hands up, so up with 'em!"

The young man sighed. "Right away, officer..."

Leon approached him carefully and put him into handcuffs. "And no games, got it?"

----

Usagi and Chibiusa just recovered from the 'blow' they had given each others heads.

"Ow..." Usagi whined. "That hurt..." Then she got angry. "CHIBIUSA! You little spore! Can't you look where you're going?"

"Excuse me?" the pink-haired girl yelled back. "If it wasn't for your clumsiness, we would have captured the daimon already, you meatball-head!"

Then they looked around. "Say, where's Mamoru?"

They went out of the bar... and gasped as they saw how the police officer lead the handcuffed Mamoru away.

"Ooooh, they arrested my Mamo-chan? Why? Whatever did he do?"

Chibiusa sighed. "I guess everyone has his dark little secret..."

Usagi looked like she was ready to cry. "No! Not my Mamo-chan! Chibiusa! We have to do something!"

Chibiusa sighed. "All right, all right... but I only do this because of Mamoru!"

----

"Chief!" Leon shouted as he entered the office of his chief officer Todo. "I caught a man who wanted to break into Mr. Ishida's jewelry shop."

Chief Todo looked up from his work... and grimaced as he saw just WHAT Leon had brought into his office.

"Care to explain, officer?" he grumbled in a dangerous voice.

"What do you mean...?" Leon asked before turning around to face his 'prisoner'...

It was a human-sized blow-up doll, handcuffed just like the black-haired man had been.

Leon's jaw looked like it was ready to fell down to the floor. "W-what?" he muttered. "H-how can this be? I could've sworn..."

"I know only one thing," Todo yelled. "If you want to play your kinky games, play them at home or wherever... BUT NOT AT WORK!! YOU HEAR ME??"

Leon gulped. "Y-yes, sir..."

----

Shortly after, the blow-up doll came flying into the big trash can in front of the police department. The confused officer shook his head and went back inside.

A little, pink-haired girl looked around the corner, giggled and made a motion with her hands. In a puff of smoke, the blow-up doll turned into a floating black ball, looking like a cat's head.

"Good job, Luna-P," Chibiusa grinned as her floating toy/tool returned to her.

"I still say I should go back and speak to the police," Mamoru muttered. "Now they believe I'm a burglar and are most likely searching for me..."

"And what exactly do you want to tell them?" Chibiusa asked. "That a human-sized bat made you throw the rock, but you couldn't hit it because it was drunk?"

"Don't worry!" Usagi giggled. "I believe no one will take that officer seriously again for a while..." She sighed. "Although I kinda feel sorry for him... He was cute..."

Mamoru sweat-dropped. "Usagi... I'm standing right here, you know?"

"Oops!" She giggled. "Sorry about that, Mamo-chan..."

"HEY!" Chibiusa suddenly shouted. "Look, up there!" And she gestured towards the window of a tall apartment building on the other side of the street.

High up there, a humanoid bat was staggering around, clutching a sake bottle within her hand.

"Wheeeeh..." Nabiki yelled. "Yoohoo, down there... you look like antsh to me, sho shmall..."

"We have to be quick, or she flies away again," Mamoru said. "Perhaps we should transform first..."

Usagi nodded. "Yeah, good idea!"

----

House wife Naoko Mayumi was sitting in the living room of her apartment, knitting on a sweater for her grandchild... when suddenly, her gaze fell to her window.

"YIKES!" she yelled. "ROSHI! ROSHI! A VAMPIRE!"

----

While Mrs. Mayumi was yelling for her husband, Sailor Moon prepared to give her beloved Tuxedo Kamen a little lift.

"Be careful," she said as his right foot stepped into her ouststretched hands.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine," the tuxedo-clad defender of justice assured her. "Now, throw me up!"

"Okay! Here you... GO!!"

Mamoru flew up into the air and tried grabbing the drunk bat-daimon.

Nabiki looked down into her bottle. "Huh... Ish it empty again? Sho shad... (hic) Aw, have to go find another, then..." And she took off right when Tuxedo Kamen came flying up to her.

She flew away... and Mamoru's hands grabbed nothing but empty air. He just had enough time to think 'Dang'... and then his head slammed right into the frame of the window.

"Owwww..." he groaned and held his head.

----

Meanwhile, Mrs. Mayumi had been able to find her husband, who followed her into their living room, carrying an impressive shotgun.

"Whaaaah!" the old woman yelled when instead of the bat-creature, she saw the figure of a man wearing a black cape. "It turned into DRACULA! ROSHI, DO SOMETHING!"

And her husband angrily raised his shotgun... and fired! "TAKE THIS, BLOODSUCKER!"

BLAM!

When the elderly couple looked at the window again, the intruder was gone.

Roshi grinned. "That showed him!"

"I better call the police, Roshi..." his wife said in fright.

Sailor Moon and Chibimoon looked down at the charred, twitching form of Tuxedo Kamen, who was lying flat on the pavement.

"Ouch..." Chibimoon winced. "That HAD to hurt..."

----

Back at the police station, officer Leon slammed down his phone. "Chief!" he shouted. "Someone just tried to break into an apartment building... and it was a young, black-haired man! Perhaps it's just the guy that also broke into the jewelry shop."

"Then what are you waiting for?" Todo growled. "Go out there and GET HIM!"

"R-right away, sir!"

----

"Poor Tuxedo Kamen..." Chibiusa said as she helped the caped defender of Juuban get back to his feet. "Does it hurt much?"

"I felt better..." came the groaned response.

Suddenly, Sailor Moon snapped her fingers. "Listen, I have an idea... how about we make a trap?"

"As long as we don't fall in ourselves..." Chibimoon sighed. "Okay, what's your plan?"

"It's very simple, actually." Usagi grinned as she installed her trap next to the sidewalk. "We just attach this sack to that tree, see...? And as a lure, we'll use a bottle of SAKE! And when our dear bat takes it, ta-daah... She'll be caught! What d'you say?"

"Might work," Mamoru said. "It's not the best plan, but as it is the only one we have..."

Usagi attached a small bell to the sack. "So we can hear when she's caught... And now, we hide until it jingles!"

They hurried back behind the corner of a building and waited.

----

Sayoko Mishima felt miserable as she walked down the street. That stupid Belldandy... why did she have to outclass her in everything? Why? It just wasn't fair...

Sure, that baking contest may not have been the best idea... But she couldn't allow that girl to attract the attention of every single guy of Nekomi Tech just because she made some cupcakes for Keiichi, right? So her pride demanded only one thing: Show that she was the best at making cakes!

Of course, it turned out to be a total flop... Not only did Belldandy win the contest, no, Sayoko's cake just HAD to explode right in the faces of the judges...

That's why right now, Sayoko was on her way to her favorite bar in Juuban, to forget her shame...

Suddenly, she spotted something strange: A lonely bottle of sake, sitting right at the side of the sidewalk... Did someone forget it there?

Sayoko grinned. "Well, as long as no one complains, I guess I'll take it myself." And she grabbed the bottle...

----

When she heard the jingling of the bell, Usagi grinned. "We got her now!"

"Quick now!" Chibimoon shouted. Together, they ran over to the sack, in which their booty was fidgeting around.

"Stop struggling!" Tuxedo Kamen said, as he grabbed the sack and bound the opening tightly with a rope. "This is for your own good!"

"Ah-hah!" another voice suddenly called out. "Caught you red-handed!"

Officer Leon McNichol approached the trio. He carefully looked at the man with the tuxedo and the mask. From the description of the elderly couple, this had to be the burglar.

Now you have to know that Leon has heard from the Sailor Senshi before, but as he wasn't from Juuban (and to tell the truth, he always had believed them to be an urban legend), he didn't know who was standing in front of him. Tuxedo Kamen, he has never heard of before.

"Okay, don't move!" he shouted. "What's in the sack?"

"You got it all wrong, officer!" Sailor Moon raised her hands in defense. "We just caught a daimon in there..."

Leon frowned. "A what?"

"Um, a really big bat-monster..."

The officer snickered. "Very funny... okay, open the sack!"

"But, officer..."

"NOW!"

Usagi sighed. "Very well, as you wish..." And she obeyed.

Sayoko gasped for air as her head came bursting forth from the sack. "Help!" she cried. "Officer! I've been ambushed! Arrest them!"

Leon didn't look too happy. "Does this look like a bat-monster to you?" He drew his gun. "All right, playtime's over... turn around and put your hands on the wall."

"But officer!"

"Do it!"

Usagi groaned as they obeyed. Chibimoon glared up at her future mother. "Great plan, meatball head..."

----

Chief Todo was just going through some files, when he heard Leon's voice from outside his office.

"Chief! Good news! You'll be happy to see what I brought you..."

And he entered his chief's office. "See?"

Todo furrowed his brows. "Just what is the meaning of this, officer?" he grumbled.

Leon didn't understand. "Why, I just brought you... uh... uh-oh..."

Uh-oh indeed... because what the poor officer was dragging around with him wasn't the three persons he had arrested earlier, but only a pair of shiny, brand-new leather corsets.

"Wha...? I mean... I know I had them... Please, sir, I can explain..."

"STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME PART OF YOUR KINKY LITTLE GAMES!!" the chief yelled. "I'm not gay!!"

Another officer who just came walking past the chief's office, whistled. "Man, Leon... I never knew..."

Leon whimpered. "Why me...?"

----

"I definitely don't like this," Mamoru grumbled. "At this rate, the Sailor Senshi will turn into outlaws..."

"We had no time explaining all of this," Usagi said. "You should thank Chibiusa for her little Luna-P's abilities."

"Yeah," Chibiusa nodded. "Besides, what else do we have our police for, if not to play some pranks on their officers every now and then?"

Mamoru looked sternly at his girlfriend. "Usagi... I'm afraid you're not a good role model for her..."

Back in their civilian forms, they decided to take a little break in a little cafe, before they continued their pursuit of the bat-daimon...

----

Hikaru Koto, the cafe's old waiter, was also the owner of the small establishment. His employees often asked him to stop working so hard, they could handle everything... but he just laughed and told them they shouldn't worry too much about his health.

Truth was, they weren't really too worried about his health... only about his bad eyesight. Mr. Koto could not tell a cherry cake from an apple pie, and that was very bad for business... but poor ol' Hikaru could never bring himself to wear his glasses...

He really didn't believe he needed them. He could see that some new customers were sitting at table 4, so he walked over to them and asked: "What may I bring you?"

"A biiiig sundae!" Usagi shouted with excitement.

"Usagi, we don't have time for this," Mamoru exclaimed. "We'll just take a soda each, thank you!"

Mr. Koto went and shortly after, came back with the beverages. "Here you are, four sodas!"

"Four?" Chibiusa asked. "Why four? Can't you count?"

"But there are four of you, aren't there?" the old waiter asked in confusion.

Usagi, Mamoru and Chibiusa turned around... and sitting behind them was a furry girl with leather wings and pointy teeth.

Nabiki grinned. "Hi there!"

They all gasped. "YOU!!"

Mr. Koto backed off in fright as three of the customers suddenly pounced on the fourth, pressing her down to the ground.

"Hey... OW... What the heck are you doing?"

"You're not getting away this time!" Usagi shouted. "Chibiusa, we need some rope."

"Got it," the pink-haired girl nodded, and with a 'puff', Luna-P turned into a long rope, which they used to tie the bat up.

Nabiki struggled as Mamoru picked her up. "Lemme go! That's not fair!"

"Sorry, little bat... but we'll take you back to the zoo!"

"Oh well..." Nabiki groaned and stopped her flailing. "After all, this cafe doesn't have any good stuff..."

And while the threesome dragged the tied bat back to Professor Tomoe's house, Mr. Koto was on the phone.

"Hello? Police? Yes, this is Mr. Koto speaking... one of my customers has been kidnapped! The culprits? Well, it was this guy with black hair, the blonde with the unusual hairstyle..."
