Santa Rosalia, Baja California Sur, Mexico

As they studied the magic map they had created Diamondback and Fey realized that they were getting more information than they expected. The map showed magical and extra dimensional activity. Unfortunately the town looked like it was in the midst of a sorcerers' convention. It was obvious that the bright spots at the hotel were caused by the presence of the Whateley crew. A blue spot revealed Chaka's location, the Tao hid Bladedancer. Many other dots were visible not far from Chaka's location; of particular concern was an intense purple-black dot moving south along the beach. This dot was in the direction Sara felt a calling from. Disturbingly there were two other dots nearly as intense as the purple-black one. One was just off the end of town, while the other was just entering town.

"We need to help Toni, she is next to the thing we are after!" exclaimed Jade.

"True, but what are the other two big dots?" injected Diamondback.
"Whatever else they are, they are two powerful to be ignored," offered Fey worriedly.

Sam suggested; "We can send the Grunts and the Outcasts to check them out while the Kimbas go for the prize,"

"This is an urban situation with way to many unknowns, we need the intel. My team will go for the intimidate objective. On the whole the Outcasts are faster. They can get to the long range objective by the same time we reach ours," volunteered Breaker.

"This is not the simulator; we have a town full of real people caught in the middle of this. What can we do to protect them if this gets nasty?" asked Phase.

"What about us?" asked Crash Test.

Gilbert Glick, the devisor that started this mess, tried to look small and inconspicuous as possible.

"Glick can stay with me, we will hold down the fort here, and maintain communications between the teams. Tennyo and Crash Test will try to evacuate and protect the civilians, and standby as a reserve if any team needs them," said Sam.

"I don't know how useful I will be, I don't speak Spanish," admitted Tennyo.

"I can help there. Just remember this phrase; El peligro, peligro, una batalla está viniendo, funcionamiento," offered Phase.

While Phase coached Tennyo on the phrase, the rest of the group finalized their plans.

A large group of Sailor Senshi teleported to a select spot on a beautiful tropical beach, Using her own methods Sailor Pluto along with Sailor Saturn joined the other Sailor Senshi.

"We will have to catch the perverted little runt to get any answers out of him," cautioned Sailor Pluto.

A young Asian girl with long lavender hair ran down the beach to the assembled Senshi. "What's going on?" she gasped.

"We are here to defend this fair town from a vicious pervert, and to wrest from him a dark secret. If that secret is left to develop unchecked it will rend the universe asunder," explained Sailor Moon.

"That sounds very nice, but I have to get back to my hotel. My boy friend is just getting up, and he is a real beast in the morning," said the young woman.
She was about to leave when a large spatula blocked her way. "You may be able to fool the blond ditz, but that disguise does not hide you aura from me Happosai," declared Sailor Ganymede.

"Happosai has a boy friend?" said a puzzled Sailor Jupiter.

As Rock Lee crested a dune he witnessed an incredible sight. Master Happosai was being assailed by two fuku wearing martial artists of extreme skill. One was armed with a ninjatō while the other had a strange weapon that resembled some kind of large spatula. The three martial artists used an amazing display of taijutsu as they dodged through a strange assortment of magical attacks fired by eight other similarly dressed girls that seemed to be exclusively aiming at Master Happosai.

Rock Lee, being a most serious student of taijutsu, did the only thing natural to him. He sat down and began taking notes.

Moments later Neji Hyuga crested the dune. His mouth gaped open for a few seconds as he realized what Rock Lee was watching. The Byakugan gave him an advantage, in that he could observe all the action, and still appreciate the view of the scantily clad girls casting their magic. Being the professional he was, he still managed to retain enough mission focus to report the goings on to Shikamaru.

Just as Sailor Pluto managed to stop the other Sailor Senshi from firing off spells so close to two of their own, that Chaka caught up with the two ninja. The duo were quietly watching the battle to the south as she caught sight of what they were watching. Chaka's jaw dropped open.

(Chaka) Bladedancer where are you?

(Bladedancer) Chaka, are you alright? I am heading toward your location.

(Chaka) Great! You've got to see this, it's totally awesome!

(Bladedancer) What is going on?

( Chaka) There're three truly awesome martial artists going at it full tilt.

(Bladedancer) Chaka I am closing from your five o'clock, who are the two guys next to you?

(Chaka) Just a couple of ninja I ran into earlier, you have to get to the top of the dune to see this!

(Bladedancer) Wow!

(Lancer) Chaka! Bladedancer! you are practically on top of the target, what the hell's going on?

(Chaka) There's this this lavender haired martial artist girl mixing it up with two other martial artists in really over the top fukus. They're doing some really impossible stuff. Wow! I have never seen such aerial technique from a non-flier. The two girls are armed, one with a sword, and the other with an oversized pizza peel. They are good, but they have yet to touch the lavender haired girl. Oh! Wow!

(Phase) Did Chaka just say impossible?

(Fey) Chaka are you all right?

(Chaka) I am fine, but you have to see this! Wow! The girl with sword is tricky!

The DC3 landed at Santa María de Mulegé Airport. Three travel weary passengers disembarked; an old woman, a tall young man with thick glasses, and a girl with lavender hair. "Great-grandmother was airplane older than you?" asked Shampoo.

"No dear it just has more mileage on it, I have to respect that dear," said Cologne.

"Could you tell me again why have we flown halfway around the World?" asked Mousse.

"Mousse fly with Shampoo and Great-grandmother, at least arms not tired," inserted Shampoo.

"We are here to save the world children. Now let's get the luggage," gently commanded Cologne.

Shampoo looked at Cologne. "How Great-grandmother know come here?"

Cologne's response was a small, cryptic smile.

The trio passed effortlessly through customs, the inspector's cursory check utterly failing to spot any of Mousse's hidden weapons. He is after all a master of hidden weapons.

To those of you who are wondering how they got here; they took a commercial airline to Guaymas and chartered a plane across the gulf. Nabiki made the arrangements and charged the trip to the Chinese Embassy.
