Disclaimer: If I owned Sailor Moon, there would be less of the sailor fuku. Also, shortest chapter yet! But a plot-relevant one.


"Haruka-san, are you familiar with the saying 'the body controls the mind'?"

The displaced racer was silent.

"Well?"

She looked at the professor and said as clearly as she could through the gag, "Go fuck yourself."

His irritating grin only seemed to grow wider. "Michiru-san told me that the saying was actually 'the mind controls the body.' Interesting, isn't it?"

He turned away from her. Haruka tugged at the bonds tying her down.

"A normal Daimon mind is actually quite innocent, as you may have seen with Octave." He gestured to the similarly-restrained Daimon, which was managing to make Haruka's body look very helpless. "This blank slate is almost like a child's, in a sense. It is impressionable." He looked back at her. "Have you ever wondered what a Daimon egg is composed of, Haruka-san?"

"No," she attempted to say. "I've only worried about destroying them."

"A Daimon egg is similar to a virus, I suppose. If the virus, after implanting itself in its host, became a live being. A Daimon egg contains the basic genetic information that will allow it to, once it gains a host, take the host as its body." His glasses glinted in the darkness. "Once it takes a host, the genetic information spreads throughout and turns into a fairly typical Daimon. A rudimentary mind is formed, though this mind only knows what its instincts tell it. Its instincts tell it to take Pure Hearts." He looked at Haruka's bored face. "If you don't like the lecture, I've got slides."

She shook her head and he took that as a gesture to continue.

"However, the genetic material isn't all that's implanted into a Daimon egg." He chuckled a bit. "There are also nanomachines inside. They are connected to our network at all times—at least where we get coverage." He chuckled and continued. "There are different types of nanomachines that serve different purposes. For example, you have a set in your eyes."

He took in her deer-in-headlights look and chuckled more. "Yes, we can see everything you see. We can even set you to record. For example, Kaolinite was telling me something about last night...?"

Her deer-in-headlights look turned into horror.

"There are also information-collecting nanomachines spread throughout your body. We implemented them in all of our Daimon eggs after the first failure. They've told us quite a lot about your attacks, Uranus."

Her horrified look turned into complete shock.

"Yes, we know about your identities. You are Sailor Uranus and Michiru-san is Sailor Neptune. We also know that you had the first Talisman."

He cleared his throat once and continued. "So! We are going to study you." He looked over his shoulder and called, "Kaolinite! Bring the serum in!"


Michiru began to thrash at her bonds as soon as the screaming started. The green-haired witch staring down at her only smirked.

"No, Kaioh-san. Don't do that unless you want me to put you under. You wouldn't want that, would you?" She chuckled and ran her fingertips across the violinist's cheek, eliciting a growl from the bluenette. "Tomoe-sensei wouldn't like it if I had to pump his little test subject," she purred the last two words, "full of drugs because she wouldn't stop resisting."

"Tellu," another witch said, walking up to them, "Tomoe-sensei wants to see you. He said something about starting our experiments..."

"Thanks, Eudial," Tellu said, smiling sweetly, and walked through a nearby door marked "Laboratory." The witch Michiru now knew to be Eudial glanced down at the violinist.

"Mmf." Michiru tried to say something but the gag was in the way. Eudial raised an eyebrow and tugged the gag down. "I... ah, I have to go to the bathroom," the violinist said uncomfortably.


"So, Tomoe-sensei, where are we going with this?" Tellu asked, looking down at the unconscious Haruka, who had passed out after the first round of tests to see how her human brain reacted to being in the Daimon's body.

Professor Tomoe laughed. "Sailor Uranus had the first Talisman."

"Yes..."

"If my guess is correct, and my guesses are usually good... I am descended from Aberforth Dumbledore, whose brother was so incredibly good at guessing that he defeated Britain's greatest evil wizard by playing 20 Questions, you know... if I'm correct, Sailor Neptune must have the second Talisman."

"Sailor Neptune?" Tellu looked at the door she had just come from. "That girl?"

"Yes... but! Sailor Uranus's Talisman has been taken, has it not? Yet she is still alive because she is in a Daimon's body. Plus she has her abilities as a Sailor Senshi, and they've combined with the natural strength of a Daimon to form a super soldier..."

"So we want to figure out how she became a Daimon, if there are any problems with it, and try and replicate the process with Neptune?" Tellu guessed.

"Precisely!" Professor Tomoe said, and they both laughed. "That will allow us to have two of the Talismans and two perfect soldiers!"

He laughed harder. "And that! Is! Plan! C!"


imjce: They hid Haruka's body under the bed, and then the Witches Five found it. Michiru probably closed her eyes tightly while she and violin-Daimon Haruka were having sex. Because violin-Daimon Haruka does sound exactly like she would if she was in her normal body, for some reason. And oh god don't remind me of two girls one cup

petiyaka: Did you ever watch Between the Lions? Because CLIFFHANGER! HANGING FROM A CLIFF! AND THAT'S WHY HE'S CALLED CLIFFHANGER!

As usual, reviewing makes me a very happy writer. Though I can't guarantee this story will even begin to make sense if you review. But maybe the nonsensical part is because it's a parody... Anyway, please review! Thank you!
