Back at Jubei, Rei was meditating in her room, as she prayed by a fire, "I sense a disturbing aura within me. Mako… Something about her I need to know… Rin. Pyo. Tou. Sha. Kai. Jin. Retsu. Zai. ZEN!"

She viewed a Rei Maiden in her shrine maiden outfit, as Rei gasped, "Huh? Who is this?"

A faint giggle is made, as she heard Rei Maiden's echoes. Rei paused, as her eyes widened, "No. Is that you?"

Rei Maiden appeared by the shrine's window, as she said, "Dear sister… It's good to see you again."

Rei beeped, as she switched to default mode. She stood up and said, "Rei Model-nee-chan… Rei Model #D31M05?!"

She turned around, as Rei Maiden entered. Rei shivered, as her Maiden Sister lunged at her. She hugged her and smiled, "IT'S YOU! NEE-CHAN!"

She nuzzled by her, as Rei was slightly happy, "Hello. I was wondering how you got here, suddenly."

Rei Maiden said, "I snuck out, just to see you. I know of a Mako Kino, who was a model."

"Mako?" Rei gasped, "What, wait, what are you saying?"

Rei Maiden said, "Oh, just a project to try out. In fact, it's our little ol' secret for us Maidens and Butlers, exclusively. Plus, it feels lonely, talking to technicians, engineers, and my boss, Miss Hanako West."

Rei said, "I never knew that. It's alright, Nee-chan D31M05, I'm here for you. But you have to go back, afterwards. If Usagi and the others find out, they'll start asking questions about us. I chose to be Rei Hino, while the other Rei Model was retired, to become one of the fabled Maiden Guardians."

Rei Maiden said, "I know. And I'm a little surprised that she knew of your secret – Miss West, I mean."

Rei said, "Being Sailor Mars… that's alright. But being Rei Hino, I think my data that I keep is still in working condition."

She felt her face, as Rei Maiden blushed. She asked if she'd spend the night with her. Rei agrees, but around late at night, the employees in Maidens for Hire must return her. Rei said that she'll vouch for her abandonment. They shared a hug, as the Maiden thanked her. Both Sisters hug, feeling a sort of bliss towards each other.

Back at Motoki's, Makoto knocked on the door. Mako opened the door and smiled, "Good evening, Miss Kino. How are you, today?"

Makoto said, "Okay. Is Motoki home?"

Mako Maiden said, "He's at work. But would you like to come in?"

Makoto said, "No, no, it's fine. I'll just head down there. Thank you."

Mako called, "WAIT!"

She stopped, as Mako Maiden said, "Please stay? I have hours before dinner. I want to know you, the girl that resembles me. Please?"

She held the rim of her skirt and said in a sad voice, "Master is usually gone for about 6 hours… and I cannot bear the loneliness. He does care for me, but I hardly have time to talk to him."

Makoto nodded, as she said, "You felt unhappy. He is treating you nicely, but it sucks that a Maiden is all alone, without company. Maidens for Hire are simply like humans, but they are not always good at being alone."

Mako Maiden stated, "It's not true. Some Maidens usually like being alone. But other times… the Maiden or Butler can be alone for a long time, that it can break to the point of unhappiness and segregation. You know what I am?"

Makoto stepped in, as she said, "I can help you make dinner, if you'd like. And maybe I can stay with you."

Mako asked, "Oh, you will? I never usually ask for help."

Makoto smiled, "Don't worry, I'm an excellent cook. I cook for myself, all the time, since my parents died."

Mako sobbed, "Oh… I'm so sorry."

Makoto said, "That's alright. Now, what shall we make for Motoki?"

Both girls entered the kitchen, as they decided to make something for Motoki, before he returns from Crown Game Center.

Later that night, Terry slammed the door, as he went to Sanjiro's office. He barked, "REI MODEL D31M05 HAS ESCAPED THE BUILDING!"

Sanjiro gasped, "NO!"

Terry cried, "YES! And she had NO permission to leave the building, whatsoever!"

He pointed at him and barked, "In all my years in the company, I never KNEW you would sink so low!"

Sanjiro complained, "ME?! But Mr. Stanton, I didn't do it!"

Sanjiro asked when Rei Maiden ran off. Terry replied that it happened at 9am, earlier this morning. Sanjiro exclaimed that he was present at work, when he and Terry and the rest of the staff were having coffee, before the work day started.

"Well, I don't know what to think, anymore!" Terry griped.

Sanjiro asked, "What will you do now?"

Terry barked, "I'm going to Miss West. In our line of work, we care for the Maidens and Butlers in this company, by fixing them with tender love and care. You, however, are a conniving perverted jerk! You're a fraud, Sanjiro! A total fraud!"

Sanjiro barked, "Are you saying that I did all this, since Maiden Mars came to pass? If you tell Miss West, she'll already know. Besides, it was my permission to find a suitable host female body to create Mako Maidens, or a suitable body for curvy females. Plus, Miss West wouldn't even bother going near that machine. I had a talk with her, during my break, and she was okay with it, as long as I wasn't doing anything lecherous."

Terry huffed, "You know what, you're right. But first thing in the morning, I'm telling Miss West about this, and have you removed from the building. You know what I think? I think it was YOU that got rid of Shinji Takeru, the former head of security! And I know you're doing a helluva job making this business work, but I DON'T! TRUST! YOU!"

Terry walked off, as he concluded, "First thing! If you don't fess up, then I will!"

Sanjiro said, "Fine. What will you be doing now?"

Terry said, "I'm going home. It's closing time, and you should go, too."

Sanjiro stated, "Well, okay. I'll have Miss West hire a substitute guard to fill-in for me, before I go home."

He glared at Terry, "But make no assurance… I had nothing to do with the bizarre moments that occurred, during my tenure here. And Mister Takeru left the company on his terms. Not mine."

He went to the EXIT, as Terry growled, "Son of a…"

He left the building, as Maidens for Hire was closed for the night.

Meanwhile, at Motoki's house, Makoto and Motoki were having dinner together, as Mako Maiden helped make stir-fry and rice. Makoto smiled, as she was having dinner with Motoki, who was pleased by the Maiden's cooking. He said, "This is delicious. Did you make this, yourself, Mako?"

Both Makos said, "Uh, yes…"

Motoki asked Makoto, "Mako? You helped?"

Makoto smiled, "Well, I had to come see you, and this thing was nice enough to help me cook dinner for you."

Mako Maiden giggled, "And she was a superb cook. I have so much to learn from her, being a perfect Maiden. But I have so much faults within me. But I will not fail you, for I have you, Master, and you, Senpai."

Makoto blushed, as she swallowed her food, "Senpai?!"

Motoki said, "I have a feeling that you like her, now. See, I told you she was a cute Maiden."

Makoto said, "Oh, yes. I mean, I thought she'd replace me, and-."

Motoki replied, "That's not true. You were an amazing girl, since you and I first met. You have such ways of helping me, and not because I wasn't a neat freak, it's just that you're not like other girls."

Makoto blushed, as she smiled, "Thank you. I may be young, but… Well…"

She was lost in thought, as Mako Maiden wiped his mouth with a napkin, "Master, you should be careful. You don't want your clothes to be messy. And I was just about to go to the store and get more laundry detergent."

Motoki smiled, "Right. Thanks for reminding me."

Makoto was furious, as she looked at Mako and Motoki, "You…"

She suddenly saw a fit of jealousy between her crush and the robot double. She calmed down and thought, "No. I can't blow a fuse on this one. I mean, it could be me and him, together, as a couple. Right?"

Mako Maiden served a small spoonful of stir-fry, as she giggled, "Say AHHH~."

He ate the food that Mako Maiden gave her, as Makoto started to compress her anger. She whispered, "I hate you, so much…"

That night, Makoto was outside, as Mako Maiden stepped out to take out the trash. Makoto said, as she saw the robot, "Faker."

Mako asked, "Who me?"

Makoto snarled, "You know, one day that'll be me… because I love him…"

Mako Maiden smiled, "Oh, do not be silly."

Makoto grabbed her arm and barked, "After all I did for you, I was looking at you, and you were going to take him away from me!"

"NO, ME?! I would never do that! My services are professional. That, and my Pleasure Mode is offline. So, no touchy-touchy~!"

"Wait… Can you do that?"

"Well, sure! We flirt, but we don't go all the way. And you're still in high school. He's a college student, but he refused to waste himself, making out with a robot. To be honest, it was flattering, but that's how I am built."

Mako Maiden blushed, as she said, "But if you want to get rid of me, you can say so. But I am Motoki's Maiden for Hire, not yours! And if you think I'm going to be Miss Seductive Mako Maiden, you need to get with the times!"

Makoto was upset, as she said, "I'm sorry. I was jealous, okay? But… Just promise me that you take good care of him. Okay?"

Mako Maiden held her hands and said, "Okay. And I hope you'll find true love, someday…"

She laid her head on her chest, as she wept, "I know you were torn apart by your Senpai, and he dumped you… But rest assured… Someone will wait for you… Maybe Motoki, or someone else. I can feel love, I can feel pain, and I can feel happiness. You, and I, we feel each other…"

She hugged her, as Makoto said, "It's alright. Don't cry. I guess I was out of line. I should leave… and never return…"

She added, "Mako, take care of Motoki for me…"

She started to cry, and then ran away, with tears flying out of her eyes. Mako Maiden was hurt emotionally, as she sniffled, "Mako…"

She disappeared into the night, as Mako Maiden pleaded, running after her, "SENPAI, WAIT!"

Minutes later, Mako was by the park, as she was crying on the bench. She was at the same park where she awakened as Sailor Jupiter. Mako wept, as she was sobbing, "Motoki… I can never be replaced… I am replaced. All I wanted was to have a boyfriend… but nobody loves me. My Senpai…"

She placed her hands on her face, as she was bawling, remembering how she and her ex, Nichogi, ended their relationship. It was a rainy day, as they were walking together, in the rain. Makoto laughed, as she gave him her umbrella. But the boy told her that they shouldn't be together, anymore. Nichogi ran off, as Makoto was crying.

Makoto said, as she was still crying, "It is not fair… It's so not fair… Why did I have to be love-struck, only to find a boy being taken?"

"It's not your fault." Mako appeared, as she said to her, "You wanted a boyfriend, right?"

Makoto was held, as Mako nodded, "Don't be mad at me, anymore, Senpai."

Makoto smiled, "Okay…"

Mako whispered, "It's alright."

She hugged her and patted her back. As Makoto was crying, Mako suddenly shoved her down.

WHAP!
An ofuda was slammed onto a tree, as Rei Maiden appeared. She said, "Who needs men? Male users, you can't live with them, can't live without them."

Mako Maiden gasped, "Rei Model…"

Makoto asked, "Rei Model? Oh! You're the Maiden from before!"

Rei Maiden smiled, "Exactly. And do you know why I came here, for this night?"

She pointed at Mako and said, "Her."

Makoto gasped, "What? What are you going to do to her?"

Rei Maiden said, "I want her back with me. I'm so lonely without her. Plus, I should be the one to be deployed to a user, and not her or my sister!"

Mako Maiden beeped, "Attention, Rei Model #D31M05, cease and desist! This goes against your protocol!"

Rei Maiden smiled, "Maybe so, but I just can't lose you! We're like bonded as sisters, and we cannot be separated."

Mako Maiden explained, "That's so not true, Rei Model! I still care for you, but I am owned by Motoki Furuhata. And Makoto Kino is my senpai, since I am learning to cook as she does."

Rei Maiden pouted, "So, it's your fault that we're separated!"

Makoto stood up and said, "Enough! Stop arguing and listen! Mako cares for me, and you have no right to butt in!"

Rei Maiden glared at her, as Mako Maiden stated, "This is between me and her. Please, don't make her mad."

Mako went closer to Rei, as Mako said, "Please, I'm sorry, Rei Model. But it is just fate. Our boss will find you a home, once you pass your test."

Rei Maiden huffed, "I wasn't even tested. You think I can out-maiden you?"

Rei Maiden approached a trash-filled playground. She cleaned it up, in only 7 seconds. Mako stated, "Not bad. But if this were an owner's home, you'd clean it, longer than that."

Rei stuck her tongue out and jeered, "You couldn't best me in a hundred nanoseconds!"

Mako Maiden approached her and grabbed her wrist, "I've heard enough! Rei Model, just go home! I'll deal with this, once I sort this out."

Rei Maiden leered, "Hands off."

WHAM!
Mako was struck in the chest, by a palm strike. Mako Maiden landed onto a tree, on her back, as Makoto cried, "MAKO!"

Rei Maiden said, "Bad girl. I do not like to be touched by traitors!"

Makoto cried, "How could you? This Maiden was your friend!"

Rei Maiden said, "I'm sorry. But I am built to keep non-users away from me. I don't like being touched, except for my user. But I have no one, so…"

Rei Maiden prepared to fight, as Makoto was about to transform. She then thought, "Oh, no! What if she knows who I am? I can't do it."

Makoto pleaded, "I cannot hurt you. But you cannot, either. Does it go against your orders? Rule #1: Protect thy self! Rule #2: Obey thy orders! Rule #3: Preserve thy life!"

Rei Maiden bowed and said, "Forgive me. I am so sorry… I was angry today, and I just reunited with my sister. Violence won't solve anything. Maidens are not barbaric."

Makoto said, "I want to know… How did you come here, without consent?"

Rei Maiden smiled, "I snuck out. I wanted to ditch work, and be with her… and see you and Mako, as well."

Mako was in a seated position, badly hurt, by the tree, as Rei Maiden explained, "Plus, it was tiring to sit through lectures from my superiors. And I chose to live a life of being a Maiden. But now, I'm jealous… I want to be like you… only as a human… a robot in a human world. Would you do that for me, Mako?"

Makoto felt upset, as she was about to answer.

"Mako may forgive you, but I won't!"

A figure appeared, wearing a sailor fuku, with a red ascot and skirt, and a purple bow. She had long black hair and a gold tiara on her forehead with a red gem.

Makoto gasped, "Sailor Mars!"

It was Sailor Mars. She approached her sister, as she called out, "Unforgiveable! You came here to visit someone, yet you lashed out at your own kind! Even if you are my sister, I won't accept you! That kind of behavior is unacceptable, and illogical!"

She posed, as she concluded, "And so, in the name of Mars, I'll chastise you!"

Rei Maiden blushed, "Me? Chastise? Why are you doing this, sister model?"

Mars barked, "I am NOT your sister!"

She whispered, as she was still in Maiden form, "She doesn't know."

Makoto asked, "Mars, watch out. She's vicious, and doesn't need to be touched!"

Mars said, "I got this. Go to Mako Model!"

They stared down, as Makoto ran to Mako. She held her, as Rei Maiden charged at Sailor Mars. They clashed at each other, pushing each other down. Makoto called to Mako, "Mako… MAKO! HEY! Wake up!"

Mako beeped, as she asked, "Senpai… Senpai?"

She whispered, as she held her face, "It's alright… Do you love Motoki?"

She sparked a bit, as Makoto was sobbing, "Don't go… Don't be broken… I want you to be with him. If it's not for dating, I'm fine… But…"

Mako Maiden smiled, as she beeped, with her eyes flickering, "Mako… Senpai…"

She held her hand and whirred down, "I… love… you…"

Her eyes faded to black, and her motors stopped working. Mako Maiden died down. Makoto held her hand, as she was sobbing, "No… Mako…" and then hugged her, while still crying.

Rei tackled Sailor Mars down, as she kicked her off. Mars stood up and fired a stream of fire at her, with her fingers.
"MARS FIRE… SOUL!"

The Maiden dodged out of the way, as she winked, "Stupid sister! I am simply like you, in movement. We are twins, after all."

Sailor Mars growled, "Damn. I forget. Sailor Moon, where are you?"

Rei Maiden said, "She can't help you, at this late at night. You should be in bed, Sister."

Sailor Mars beeped, "Rei Model #D31M05, this is your final warning! If you don't surrender, I will-."

"You'll what?" Rei Maiden transformed into Sailor Mars, but with a black fuku on.

Mars gasped, as Rei Maiden said, "You can call me Dark Mars!"

"How on earth did you-?"

She twirled her arms around, as she produced orbs of fire, "Mars Celestial Fire – Burning Mandala!"

Dark Mars fired at Mars, as she was badly struck by the flames. Mars fell down, as she moaned, "Error… My body… isn't used to… this…"

Dark Mars laughed, "Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha… Looks like I am the superior Sailor Guardian, today. It's all because we're fated to be together, sister."

At the lab, while both Rei Robots were being repaired, Rei Maiden D31M05 scanned into her sister, P30B05. She then copied and pasted her files into her own C-Drive, as she smiled, "Wow… For a moment, I feel a surge of energy within me."

She shone the Mars symbol in her dark blue eyes, as she beeped, "I know what to do. I use my newfound abilities for good."

But after she fought as Dark Sailor Mars, at nighttime, her batteries had already died out. She was taken away, only to purge out what was left in her systems. At the lab, she was erased of her files, including all of Rei Maiden 1's stolen files of herself as Sailor Mars. But she kept most of it as backup files.

Mars was fading, as she moaned, holding her arm, "I cannot lose to you. You are not working properly. A Sailor Guardian must control the powers, not abuse it!"

Dark Mars said, "Too late. It's mine, now. You can be in the scrap heap, whilst I can be the new Mars on the block."

She stomped on her neck and smiled, "Sorry, sister. But this is goodbye."

She crushed onto her neck, about to break her. But, as she was about to finish her off, Makoto stood up and was fuming.

"You rotten little witch of a Maiden for Hire… Unforgiveable…" Makoto seethed, "Mako Maiden… She wasn't just a robot… She was a friend for Motoki…"

She held up a gold and green pen and snarled, "Unforgiveable!"

She hollered, "UNFORGIVEABLE!"

She thought, as she whispered, "Motoki, forgive me…"

She held the pen up and called out, "Jupiter Planet Power – MAKEUP!"

She transformed into Sailor Jupiter, with a white fuku on, with a green ascot and skirt, a pink bow, and dark green boots. She posed and called out, "SAILOR… JUPITER!"

Dark Mars gasped, "So, it is true! You're… You're a Sailor Guardian, like my sister!"

Jupiter barked, "Can it, you decoy defect! I won't forgive you for hurting your own kind! Mako wanted to protect you, and you killed her, for no reason at all!"

She posed, "And now, as Guardian of Planet Jupiter, I will make you feel so much regret, it'll leave you numb!"

Dark Mars hollered, "NO! YOU DON'T GET IT, DO YOU?"

Jupiter crossed her arms, and produced a lightning rod from her tiara. She concentrated and said, "Jupiter, my guardian planet, bring forth the storms! Summon the clouds and bring out your thunder!"

She produced a huge thunderbolt and fired at the Dark Mars, "Jupiter Supreme… THUNDER!"

Dark Mars dodged it, as Jupiter called, "There's only one way to subdue a rampaging Maiden!"

Dark Mars was roaring, "YOU WITCH! ARE YOU TRYING TO FRY ME?"

Mars got up and held her arm. She moaned, "Sailor Jupiter, we have to make her demobilized. I'll handle her, you prepare."

Jupiter said, "Right. First thing, why did she call you "sister"? You know this Maiden?"

Mars replied, "No. Not really. But it's a code that Maidens and Butlers for Hire are considered brothers and sisters. And even if she was my sister, she isn't, anymore."

Dark Mars sobbed, "Rei Model-nee-chan… You're so mean!"

Mars held up her ofuda, as she chanted quietly. She then unleashed it at Dark Mars. She cried, "FORGIVE ME! EVIL SPIRIT, BE EXORCISED!"

SLAM!
Dark Mars gets stuck frozen, after she was stuck the ofuda on her forehead. She beeped, "I… I can't move… Rei Model… Why?"

Mars called out, "Sailor Jupiter! FINISH HER OFF!"

Jupiter held up a huge energy ball of electricity, and started to twirl around. She called out, as she fired.
"Jupiter… Coconut Cyclone!"

The Coconut Cyclone blasted at Dark Mars, as she started to get electrocuted. She screamed in pain, as she was slowly breaking apart. Mars prayed, as she whispered, "I'm sorry, Sister…"

Dark Mars smiled, as she was being attacked, "Rei Model… I forgive you… Don't leave me…"

As the attack continued, meanwhile, in Motoki's house, he woke up to hear a noise. He saw the huge flash of lightning out and was worried. He then gasped, as he saw that Mako Maiden was nowhere.

"MAKO! Where did she go?" he cried.

He dashed out of the house and headed to the park, where the battle was taking place.

To be continued…
