AN: Spell / song belongs to Moby ("Extreme Ways"), there will be no Chibi-Usa in this fic but she will be mentioned later on in it. Links for outfits on profile. ALSO: there have been no youma attacks since Allan & Ann. And I still don't own Sailor Moon :(
CH 2: Ordinary Day, or is it?
"Truth is a torch that gleams through the fog without dispelling it"
"Raye-chan, what in the world does that mean?", Minako exclaimed while they were walking the store in the mall the next day.
When Usa had called the girls on the communicators very distressed they had decided the only way to calm her down was an emergency shopping trip for a new closet! So far she hadn't really said much besides wanting Mamo-chan back. She had only told them that he said to her he no longer loved her AND it was over. Which truly shocked them all at the sudden break up. They were quite curious at to what was going on with him truly. Ami even went as far as to suggest a body scan with her Senshi materials but the others said that was a tad extreme, of course this was outside of Usa's hearing range.
"It means that soon we *will* know the truth of why this is happening to our dear Princess, you complete ditz! Now I know where she gets it from – sheesh. But I had this feeling during my reading at the fire earlier this morning something was amiss in Tokyo so keep your eyes out", Raye informed them all with her usual stern look.
They all nodded in agreement, Minako rolled her blue eyes while doing so but looked over their surroundings as well. The blonde also glanced over at the still closed pale green dressing room door that had been occupied for over 15 minutes with Usagi now.
"You guys don't think we gave her too many things to try on in there at once, do you? I know that's the point of today and all but she's been in there a super long time now! The last peep we heard out of her was when she was whining about us taking away her cell for trying to call you-know-you"
As Makoto stated this, the Princess herself they were speaking of came out in an extremely red dress. All the girls looked at one another rather confused as she walked towards the mirrors to show off. They were quite shocked at the very low cleavage cut it had, and they were all quite sure they could see her nipples with the material it was made of. Overall if she seriously thought she could ever wear that dress out of her house while her father was alive, she had lost her mind!
"Usa-chan, er you know that we all LOVE you and want the best for you…"
"You all want to know why I choose -this- dress above the others and how I got in considering how none of you gave it to me when I entered the dressing room, no? Well; I figured my Mamoru doesn't want to date some silly, whiny teenage girl! No, he wants a mature woman so perhaps I should dress the part so as to attract him as I did before on the Moon?"
Ami slowly approached her and was about to respond to her passionate speech with a delicate response when all of their communicators went off! They whipped them out, some a little happier then others, and saw Luna with Artemis on the screens in a park nearby.
"Girls – you need to get down here as soon as possible! Something quite odd is occurring with a Youma", with that video cut-off abruptly with some kind of explosion on their tiny screens.
As soon as the message feed was gone, the girls quickly collected their things, Usa however tried to make her way over to the check out counter to buy the red dress but Makoto caught her and stopped her.
*CLYG*
After leaving the wonderfully, cool mall the girls ducked into a nearby alley to transform and headed straight to the park. Once there they saw one of -the- oddest things they had seen, and they seen some weird stuff before!
Tuxedo Kamen and the Generals were already there fighting on the scene but it would seem they needed the Senshi's assistance to finish him off.
As the girls looked over the Youma some more they couldn't help but giggle. HE was the one who started this mess again? A tiny guy in tan trousers that were practically wearing him. He also had a large wooden staff that was a bit crooked at the top, when Moon pointed that out Venus was howling, and it had a very eerie skull at the top of it with ruby red eyes. One thing the girls did notice was that from no matter the angle the guys were fighting from, no one could see his face. His cape was elaborately wrapped around his body and seemed it was going to stay that way.
"VENUS LOVE ME CHAIN"
"You FOOL'S! This entire time you've been focusing on fighting on me, you should have focused on who is with me here – more importantly what HE wants! I am merely the messenger"
The entire group of them looked at each other then back at him utterly baffled. They all had the same thought going through their heads, 'Did he say somebody else is here for us to fight that we totally haven't seen?'
Seeing he had caught them totally un-aware and that their guards were down, he began his spell.
Extreme ways are back again, extreme places I didn't know!
I broke everything new again
The Senshi, along with the Generals and Tuxedo began to feel as if they were in some sort of trance as he sang. They were so mesmerized by the spell that they couldn't move a single inch, but neither could the shadow that they were warned about.
Dirty places coming through, extreme worlds alone
Did you ever like it planned?
When he finished. They suddenly were felt stiffer then hell but knew he had done something to them somehow. However before Sailor Moon could moon-dust him he summoned a black portal and disappeared, along with dark figure they noticed but could make out any distinguishable features from where they stood.
"Um, Mercury-chan? Do you know what THAT was he just did to us all?", Jadeite inquired of her as he sat down on top a random swing a the playground that was right there.
"So what: the big, SMART Generals can't figure things out without Mercury's help? Look like it's just like old times again *ugh*", Mars barked at him from the jungle gym that wasn't too far away.
"*sigh* It's okay Mars, but as to your question General it'll have to wait on the answer it seems until morning at the earliest when my scanner has been fixed. At some point one of them put it on a total fritz making it a fried state, which is of course temporary, I can have it fixed in no time so we can figure out in no time", the indigo haired senshi replied while placing the tiny compact in her pocket.
"Well I suggest we track down that tiny little bastard and MAKE him talk!"
"Still as violent and active as ever, eh Jupiter-chan?"
"You wanna bring it Neph? Because ever since you got here, I have been this close to knocking you all around this town you son of a-!"
"So just like old time…", raising his eyebrows knowingly and barely missing one of her thunderbolts shot in his direction as he dodged to slide.
"GUYS! Why don't we just go on home and a good night's rest already. We will all meet up in the morning over at Pyro's place for a meeting on whatever was done OR if by then one of us figures it out, we can just talk it over. Plus it's perfect to do tomorrow morning as it's Saturday!", Moon finally declared to the group to get them all to stop fighting. As she thought about it even back then she was always the 'peace maker'.
"Good idea, how's 10:30 for everyone so we can all sleep in?"
They all laughed, some rolled their eyes but agreed to the time and place.
As the girls went to their separate directions all the guys headed to Mamoru's condo which had been adapted to fit them all. Mamoru lingered for a moment as the others walked more in the direction of his place as he watched his Usako head home. As soon as she turned around and saw him though he walked on…
