Episode 5: Harmonious Mess. A Snake, A Bull, and A Book

Geo was walking down the street. Although he seemed normal, he was trying really hard to hide the blush he had on his face. The reason for his sudden shyness, was none other than his friend, Sonia. What he didn't know, was that while he was busy hiding it, Sonia was doing the same. "Geez. How long are you planning on hiding it anyway? Why don't you just tell her how you feel, and get it over with," Omega-Xis mentally said to his partner. "Mega! I can't just say those kind of things like that!" Geo frantically replied back to his partner. Mega just shrugged, before saying, "I'll never understand you humans," he said, deciding to leave his partner alone for the time being. While they were having their little conversation, Sonia was having a similar conversation with Lyra. "You know, I think you should just tell him," Lyra mentally said, causing Sonia to blush. "Lyra! I-I can't just say it like that!" Sonia thought, earning a chuckle from her partner. "Alright, but I think the sooner you admit it, the better. Besides, I think Geo feels the same way," she finished. Any further discussions were halted when they noticed a certain blonde running passed them. "Wasn't that Usagi?" Sonia asked, slightly surprised. "I think it was," Geo answered just as surprised.

Nodding to each other, the two of them immediately chased after her. After a while, the two of them finally caught up to Usagi, who had ran to an outdoor auditorium. When they got there, they noticed that Usagi was standing near two people. The first was a short haired blonde girl (who looked a lot like a guy), while the second was a girl with shoulder length aquamarine hair. The second girl was on the stage, playing a violin, whilst bouncing a lemon off her instrument. Geo and Sonia walked down the main aisle, before stopping behin Usagi. "Wow, I've never seen anyone pull a trick like that," Soni commented. "Yeah. Consider us impressed," Geo chuckled slightly.

"Huh?" Usagi asked, whilst turning around. "Geo! Sonia! Since when were you two here?" she asked, surprised to see her friends. The two of them just laughed in response, before Geo decided to answer. "We just got here, and we heard the music, so we thought we'd come and see," he said. "Hope we're not interrupting," Sonia said. "Not at all," the older blonde shrugged. "But, I need a ride to clear my head. Later bun-head. New guys," she said, before riding off.

"Uh..." Usagi sputtered. "Hey! They're not buns!" she cried. "Where did that come from?" Sonia asked, referring to the 'new guys' comment, while Geo just shrugged in response. The music coming from the violin suddenly stopped as the girl on stage caught the lemon in her hand. She smiled gently as she turned to face the three fourteen-year olds. "Please excuse her," she smiled. "She's been like this as long as I've known her. So, who are your friends Usagi?"

"Oh!" Usagi gasped. "Um..." she stuttered."Geo. Geo Stellar," Geo smiled. "Sonia Strumm," Sonia smiled. "Well it's a pleasure to meet both of you," the girl smiled. "I am Michiru Kaioh," she said, introducing herself. "It's nice to meet you too," the both of them smiled. Michiru nodded again as she turned to her violin case and placed her instrument inside. She then closed it before picking it up and stepping off the stage.

"Well now," she smiled as she faced the three of them. "I was going to go to the art museum. You are perfectly welcome to join me."

"Really!" Usagi gasped in joy. "Oh I'd love to!"

"Sounds like fun, so sure, we'll come along, right Geo," Sonia said, while Geo just nodded in response. "Sure, if it's not a problem," Geo smiled. "Oh it's no problem," Michiru smiled. "I would prefer the company anyway."

-Sailor Moon SF-

In the Juuban art museum, Michiru, Usagi, Sonia, and Geo were admiring the works while walking through. "So, Usagi," Michiru began. "Yes!" Usagi quickly replied before hearing the question. She blushed slightly before bringing her hand to her mouth. "Oops," she said out of embarrassment

The little outburst just caused some small laughter from all of them. When she calmed down, Usagi decided to ask her own question. "So, Michiru," Usagi began. "Do you want to be a violinist in the future?" she asked curiously.

"I'm not sure," Michiru sighed with a frown in thought. "I'm not sure why I was born. I'm just lost on my path right now. Even more so than ever." Michiru seemed to frown even deeper at the thought. Like she was remembering something that happened quite recently.

Usagi nodded before turning to Geo and Sonia, "What do the two of you want to do?" she asked. "Us?" they asked slightly surprised. The two of them thought about it for a moment, before answering. "I haven't really thought about it, but I like to sing, so I guess I want to be an idol some day," Sonia said, even though she knew it was a half-lie, since she already was an idol, but here, she was just an 'ordinary' school girl. "I want to be an astronaught some day," Geo said, before his eyes gained a sad gleam as he added, "Just like my dad," he finished. "Is something wrong, Geo?" Michiru asked, noticing the look in Geo's eyes. "No, its just that...my dad. He dissapeared a long time ago," he started, sounding a bit sad, before he shook his head. "No. I believe he's still alive out there, and someday, I'll find him," he said with determination.

"Wow, that's deep," Usagi murmured. "I can't help but feel a little lost myself these days," she said, honestly not sure how to respond to their answers. "They all seem so strong. I never even imagined that Geo had lost his father," she inwardly sighed. Michiru may have said that she wasn't sure, but she already had a lot of things going for her. Sonia already kind of knew what she wanted, and Geo, he seemed so determined, even after losing someone precious to him. This just made Usagi feel even more down.

"Excuse me," a man who walked up to them spoke. "Are you Michiru Kaioh? The one who painted that picture?" he asked, sounding even more excited by the minute. "Yes?" Michiru nodded. "Can I help you?"

"Oh!" the man gasped. "I'm a huge fan of your work! I look forward to the exhibition next week!" he exclaimed. While Michiru and the man talked, Sonia just stared slightly. "She sure has talent," she thought. "She has so much she doesn't know what to do with it. Usagi doesn't seem to be happy about it," Geo thought, noticing the look on Usagi's face.

He was right too. Usagi seemed a little depressed again. She wasn't obviously upset with Michiru. She was just apparently upset about her situation as compared to Michiru's.

-Sailor Moon SF-

Michiru, Usagi, Geo, and Sonia were waiting outside. Apparently Michiru's friend Haruka was going to hook up with them there. They weren't waiting long before someone on a blue motorcycle pulled up to the curb a couple feet ahead of them. Judging by the uniform, it was Haruka beyond a doubt. "Ahhh," Haruka sighed happily. "I feel better. I wanted to try finding both their HQs, but they're better hidden than I thought."

"Shh!" Michiru hissed quietly. They were talking in hushed tones, but Sonia heard what Haruka was saying clearly, thanks to her still retaining some of her abilities as Harp Note, mainly her hearing (A recently discovered side effect of prolonged use of EM Wave Change), though she decided to pretend that she didn't hear.

"HQ?" she asked herself. "Whose HQ would they be looking for? Why is it so important?" she thought, before it hit her. "Geo," she whispered. "What is it?" He responded in a whisper. "Those two are the ones Jack and Ms. Tia told us about. Sailors Uranus and Neptune," she whispered, surprising him. "Hey, I think you're right. Then that probably means that one of the HQs must be ours," he said. "Heh. What are you worried about? There's no way they'd find our HQ. Its in space," Omega-Xis commented.

Any further discussion was halted by a horrible screeching noise. Haruka, Michiru, Sonia, and Geo turned to see just what had made that sound. They got their answer when they saw none other than Usagi trying to play Michiru's violin.

"Whose bright idea was it to put that thing down anyway?" both Omega-Xis and Lyra exclaimed to their respective partners, eventhough nobody heard it on the count that everyone's ears felt like someone was using a drill on them.

The five new friends had relocated their get-together to an ice cream shop. Usagi was feeling pretty low about being so awful at the violin. So depressed in fact that she plowed through six sundaes. While she was stuffing her face, she explained that she wanted to get a bit more cultured so she could be a real girlfriend to her boyfriend who was a bit more mature that her.

"So that's why you wanted to play it," Michiru smiled. "But, even if Mamoru was there to hear it, he wouldn't want to hang around after my performance," Usagi trembled, near tears. "Now come on," Haruka smiled. "You looked wonderful when you were trying."

"Yeah Usagi," Sonia agreed. "Everyone has to start somewhere. I doubt even Michiru was as good as she was when she started."

"You'd be right about that," Michiru smiled. "I was awful when I started out."

"Really?" Usagi gasped, finding hope.

"Of course," Michiru replied. "You can't expect to be perfect at something you just started out at."

"Yeah," Usagi smiled. "You're right."

Suddenly, Michiru smiled brightly as she reached into her bag, "If you're still interested in music, there's a recital tonight. Why don't you bring that boyfriend of yours?" she said. "Both of you can come too," she said, turning to Geo and Sonia.

Michiru revealed her hand and four tickets to the said show could be seen. Usagi happily snatched up two of them while Geo and Sonia took the last two. Usagi was on cloud nine about this while Geo and Sonia seemed unsure.

"What's wrong you two?" asked Haruka.

"Well," Geo shrugged. "Is it really okay for us to have these?" Sonia finished for him

"Oh its fine," Michiru said.

A sly look suddenly came over Usagi's face, "You know, these kind of things would be great for a date. So why don't you two make it one," she giggled. Both Geo's and Sonia's faces went red at the statement, and they were completely lost for words. "!*$&%#," was more or less what it sounded like from those two.

Usagi broke out into a fit of giggles at their reaction. "Relax. I'm just kidding," she said, calming them down, before adding, "but you can still consider that," she said, before happily skipping off.

Within the underground lab, the Professer had just completed his newest creation.

"Yes," he smiled demonically. "Perfect!"

"It sounds as if the next daimon is complete," Kaolinite smiled as she stepped into the dim light.

"Hmm," the Professer nodded. "Try to have this one come back with the heart crystal would you?"

"I already have a target picked out," Kaolinite replied.

"Punctual as always," the Professer smirked. "Go my daimon! Collect the pure heart!"

The daimon egg hovered into the air and launched itself into an open pipe. It flew through the pipes and straight out the open sewer pipe. Where from there, it launched into the sky and towards the target.

-Sailor Moon SF-

The sunset was beautiful as the auditorium came into view. Geo and Sonia (Geo was wearing a black tux, while Sonia was wearing a pink dress) were waiting outside, whilst waiting for Usagi. Sighing to themselves, they had silently decided to try Usagi's idea, secretly deciding that if it worked out, maybe, they'd finally admit it to one another. Scanning the crowd, they were interrupted by an all to familliar voice, which said, "Fancy meeting you two here.

(Insert Prez theme)

Turning around, they noticed three more of their friends coming their way. "Eh? Luna, Bud, Zack. Are you three here for the recital too?" Geo asked. "Of course. Just because we're members of the Satella Police, doesn't mean we can't enjoy ourselves once in a while," Luna replied (she was wearing a blue dress). "Yeah. I hear that there are going to be some very talented musicians here. I can't wait," Zack (he was wearing a tux, which seemed a bit big on him, with the addition of his usual tie) said, sounding very enthusiastic, while Bud (he was wearing a tux which looked like the sleeves had been ripped off) just nodded, though it was obvious that he had probably just been dragged along for the ride.

"She's right you know. Nothing wrong in enjoying ourselves every now and then," came another familliar voice. Turning toward the source, they noticed both Ace (he was wearing a white tux, with the addition of his Satella Police badge on it) and Queen Tia (she was wearing a dark blue strapless dress) walking toward them. "Oh. So everyone's here," Sonia said cheerfully, before noticing that she wasn't quite right. "Wait, where are Pat, Rey and Jack?" she asked curiously. "Well, I can't really say for Pat and Rey, but Jack said he wasn't interested in the recital, so he said he'd fly around town," Tia said, answering the question.

(Prez theme end)

"Hatsyuuuu!" Jack Corvus sneezed. "Tch. Someone's talking about me," he said irritably, before continuing on his flight.

-Sailor Moon SF-

The group continued to talk for a while, until they heard Usagi's voice from far away say, "Wow! You're in a tuxedo without a mask! So refined!" excitedly. The group turned to see Usagi in a strapless pink dress attached to the arm of a taller boy with black hair who was donned in a white tuxedo. "Usagi!" Sonia called out, as they began walking toward her.

"Oh!" Usagi gasped as she saw the group. She then brightened considerably. "Sonia! Geo!" she said excitedly, before noticing the others. "Oh, Luna, Bud, and Zack are here too. So are Ace-sensei and Tia-sensei," she said, slightly surprised to find this particular group.

Usagi dragged the guy she was with straight over to them. Usagi was giggling in delight as she imagined the evening ahead of them.

"I'm so glad both of you came," Usagi smiled.

"It seemed like fun, so we thought we'd give it a try," Sonia chuckled, as Geo just nodded in respons. Noticing the man with her, they figured it was probably her boyfriend.

"You must be Mamoru. Usagi has told us a lot about you," Geo said with a smile. "I'm Geo Stellar," he said, before introducing his friends. "This is Sonia Strumm, Luna Platz, Zack Temple, Bud Bison, Ace, and Tia," he said, introducing everyone.

"So I've heard. Usako likes to talk about the new friends she made at school," Mamoru nodded.

"Hey, everyone!" Usagi called. "Over here!"

The rest of Usagi's group came walking through the crowd over to Usagi, Mamoru and the rest of them. They looked interesting as always.

Rei was wearing her hair in her usual fashion where her long black hair reached down her back. She was wearing a regular red dress that was rather flattering. She was also wearing a pair of white gloves.

Makoto was wearing an elegant pink dress. She had a sash tied around her waist that matched the dress. She was a bit taller than the others and had brown hair tied up in a ponytail. She was about the same height as Yagami

Minako was wearing her hair in her usual fashion, where she let it run down her back freely. It was only styled with a red bow, as always. She was wearing a European purple dress that had the straps on her shoulders. She also had a brown belt around her waist.

Ami was quiet as always. She wore her hair in her usual style, where her short blue hair reached to her ears. She was wearing a simple green dress with a woolen yellow jacket over her shoulders.

"Fancy all of us meeting here, huh," Luna said, as the two groups gathered. The two groups began chatting with one another, while waiting for the auditorium to open. The auditorium suddenly became much crazier as the doors opened. Geo nervously looked to the doors and back to Sonia. He offered her his arm and she gently took it, a bit tightly due to her own nervousness. As they were walking in, Sonia relaxed a bit, as she started getting a smile on her face.

"I know it's only one date," she said to herself. "But it's kind of nice to be able to do this. Right, Geo?" she said, earning a nervous nod from him, as he blushed at the cute smile.

Inside the dressing room, one of the violinists was preparing himself. As he did so, he didn't notice a small seed floating into the room. It drifted over to the violin which was still in its case and absorbed itself into the polished wood. The violinist turned around at the noise that he heard when the seed did its thing, but he didn't see a thing. He shrugged it off and continued preparing himself.

Back in where the patrons were sitting, Haruka and Michiru could be seen up on a balcony. Haruka was in a white suit and Michiru was in a yellow dress. They both had binoculars to their eyes, scanning the crowd. It was Haruka who found them first.

"There they are," she smiled. "Looks like bun-head has a handsome one. Those two also seem to have taken her advice," she said, noticing the group. "That they have," Michiru smiled. "Ahh, to be young," she said dreamily. "You sound like an old woman," Haruka smiled. "Do I?" asked Michiru. Haruka's only reply was an amused nod.

On the floor, the girls, Mamoru, and Geo's group were waiting for the concert to begin. As the lights died down, and the clapping began as the violinist could be seen. The violinist took a deep breath before beginning his song. It truly was a beautiful piece that anyone would get emotional over. Usagi on the other hand was too busy gazing at Mamoru with hearts in her eyes. Rei took it on herself to smack her upside the head to get her to pay attention to the performance.

Geo sighed as the minor argument broke out in whispers, while Luna had joined in the argument, hoping to shut them up, so she could enjoy the concert. Geo leaned back, as Sonia moved closer to him. Both of them were feeling a bit ackward, but it did feel nice, so neither of them did anything about it.

As the violinist played, his instrument started going out of tune. The strings he played were sounding high pitched and screeching. Everyone in the room thought that their ears were going to fall off. The violinist couldn't understand what was happening but he stopped playing only to have his instrument leap out of his hand and into the air. It erupted into bright light before changing into a humanoid in a one piece outfit styled after a violin. It was giggling in a high pitched opera tune. It also held a violin string which could help make sounds.

"OCTAVE!" it laughed loudly.

Everyone looked at the monster in shock. Octave just laughed as she started playing those horrible notes on her body. With another high pitched shriek. Octave started sending sound waves all over the auditorium, putting people to sleep.

While the girls got up to try and get away, Geo and his group were preparing to do the same, since people who had bonded with EM beings were immune to any type of hypnosis. When Octave stopped shrieking, the group left their seats, before moving out of view. They were getting ready to transform, but Octave had already extracted the pure heart, and had ran out of the room. "That thing isn't getting away with this," Luna hissed in annoyance, while her friends just sweat dropped, as they pulled out their Hunter-VGs. "Transcode!" they all called out, before calling out their respective names.

"Megaman!"

"Harp Note!"

"Acid Ace!"

"Queen Virgo!"

"Queen Ophiuca!"

"Taurus Fire!"

"Zack Pedia!"

-Sailor Moon SF-

(Insert boss battle theme Version 1 (Megaman Starforce))

Octave laughed in her annoying high tone voice. Making sure she had secured the crystal in her hand, she flew out of the auditorium. She was laughing the whole way and destroying everything glass as she went.

Outside, the Sailor Senshi were preparing to fight the daimon. They heard some crashes inside the building which got them worried about the people inside. They heard something coming closer with every passing second, until the daimon finally came out.

"Halt evil villain!" Sailor Moon called out. "How dare you ruin this romantic night. In the name of the moon, we will punish you!" she called out, going into her signature pose, as they jumped down to confront the daimon.

Octave just started to play her violin/dress, unleashing sound waves that bombarded the senshi, immobilizing them. She was about to play another song, when a red rose cut her hand, stopping her in mid song. Looking up, the Senshi noticed Tuxedo Kamen standing on a street light. "Tuxedo Kamen!" they cried happily, seeing their ally.

"Music is meant to be harmonious to the ears. Any kind of music that is harmful to the ears must be stopped," he said sternly. Octave just began playing again in response, but this time, her voice turned into a laser, which she sent right at them. They nearly didn't get a chance to avoid the attack, but luckily, they were about to get some unexpected help.

"Gorgon Eye!" a voice called out, as a laser shot right at Octave, sending her tumbling back. Before she could even hit something, another voice cut through the air. "Anger Punch!" it called out, as a large person in bull-like armor appeared, before punching her into the ground. "Haha! Try getting up from that!" The bull said, as he jumped up, and was joined by several others. The senshi recognized four of them to be Megaman, Harp Note, Acid Ace, and Queen Virgo, while the last three that were with them were new to them. The first one was female, with snake like armor, which even covered her legs, making it look like she only had a tail for a lower body. The second was the one with bull-like armor, though it was still very much humanoid in appearance. The last one was an odd one. He was shorter than his team mates, with yellow and blue armor which looked like it was made from a bunch of books (its very similar to Judge man EXE). "Had enough, or should we teach you another lesson?" the snake-girl said. Octave tried to painfuly get up, though it was obvious that she didn't have much fight in her left. Suddenly, she felt something stick to her back. Octave started contorting in pain, as her body began to distort itself, and her appearance became even more frightening, as she lost most of her human like features for some more indescribable, beastial features. "OCTROAAARVE!" she cried, in a distorted voice. Wildly playing her violin, she sent frenzied shots everywhere. "Snake Legion!" Queen Ophiuca called out, launching several snakes, only for them to be destroyed. "Taurus Flame!" Taurus Fire called out, launching a flame thrower attack at her, only for her to block it with a wall of sound. "The daimon has been powered up by some unknown means," Zack Pedia said, as he started analysing the opponent. "Data Analysis," he called out, as he scanned the opponent. "Custom Stage!" he called out, as he covered the daimon in a field, before turning it into a vacum field. "In a vacum space, she won't be able to use her sound attacks on us," he declared, as the daimon fruitlessly tried to make a sound.

At first, it seemed like they had her cornered, but Octave started schreeching again, and surprisingly, it managed to make it out of the field, and sent everyone crashing away. "Darn it. At this rate, looks like I'll have to take it to the next level," Megaman said, as he pulled out his three Star Force cards. "Star...!" he was about to call out, when he felt a strong force building up.

During the whole fight, Sailor Moon was well aware of how serious the situation was. "There has to be something I can do to help," she thought, before another thought entered her mind. "Do you want power? The power to protect those around you?" it said in her mind. Sailor Moon didn't hesitate, as she gave her answer. "Yes! Please give me the power to protect everyone!" she thought as power flowed into her. Closing her eyes, she felt as though she was in a snowfield, with a gentle coldness washing over her. Her scepter glowed, before transforming into a long blue staff.

A large blue heart appeared under Octave, before she was covered in ice. "LOOOVVVEEELLLYYYY!" she cried, before the ice exploded, leaving the violin she had once been, before the daimon seed was released and broke, while a card fell to the ground. "A noise card?" Queen Virgo asked curiously, as she picked up the card. "Hey! Where's the heart crystal?" Sailor Moon cried out, noticing that the crystal wasn't there. She got her answer almost immediately. "Right here..." a voice said. Turning to the source of the voice, they saw a figure in a black outfit in a top hat and a mask. In short, while the Sailor Senshi thought they were seeing a dark version of Tuxedo Mask, the Transcode team knew better. "Dark Phantom?" Megaman cried in surprise, not expecting to see one of his enemies here, plus he had the heart crystal. The Sailor senshi looked toward Megaman, who clearly knew this new enemy. "He's a wanted criminal, with charges for assisting in attempts to conquere our world," Acid Ace said, deciding to answer their questions.

"Now then, what should I do with this heart crystal?" Dark Phantom said, tossing the crystal around in his hand. "You'll give it to us! World Shaking!" came the voice of Sailor Uranus, who had fired her attack. "Humph. Is that it? Stick Sword!" Dark Phantom called out, as he effortlessly sliced the attack in half. However, this also left him open to an attack, which was already coming at him. "Guuurgh?" Dark Phantom managed to cry out, as Neptune's Deep Submerge hit him from behind, causing him to drop the crystal, right into Neptune's hands. "Tch. Not bad, but be warned. This world will soon belong to us. The Neo Dealers," he stated, as he vanished from sight.

-Sailor Moon SF-

The three groups had gone their seperate ways, after Neptune stated that the crystal was just a regular one, and the team had introduced their last three members to the Sailor Senshi, the team had left the scene quickly, to discuss matters (and so they wouldn't be held accountable for the collateral damage their little battle with the daimon had left). Now the Transcode team had regrouped in their base. "Neo Dealers?" the woman, codename: Heartless, a former member of the previous dealers asked. "No doubt about it. That's what he said. What's more, he used a noise card to power up that daimon," Acid Ace explained, while the rest of the group listened. Well...almost all of them. "Hey Prez. Have you seen Geo or Sonia around?" Taurus Fire asked Queen Ophiuca. "Nope. Haven't seen them since we arrived here," she replied. "Hmm. Wonder where they are," Zack Pedia mumbled, since it was odd for those two to be absent.

On the roof of the space station, Megaman and Harp Note stood, over looking the Earth. "Too bad the date was cut short," Harp Note sighed. "Yeah, but Sonia. I was thinking..." Megaman started. "Yes?" Harp Note asked in response. Megaman's face reddened slightly, before he managed to choke out, "Go out on another date sometime," he said quickly. Harp Note giggled, before saying, "I'd love to," happily. The two of them continued to watch the Earth, enjoying each others' pressence.
