SailorStar9: With Chapter 86 out, this is Chapter 87 of this fic. Remember boys and girls, reviews are an author's subsistence. Really, is it so difficult for you guys to review instead of just putting this fic up in your favorites and alerts?

Pairings: Tieria/Ami, Mamoru/Usagi and quite possible Setsuna/Hotaru.

Just in case anyone is still confused, Kubo Satoshi is the Present Day Tieria Erde and Faheem Kamal is the Present Day Setsuna F. Seiei.

Standard BS Disclaimers: I do not own Sailor Moon, Gundam 00 or the pairings. If I did, the other Senshi would be as powerful as Sailor Moon and kicking MOTD ass more often and VEDA would have least an anti-hacker program installed. The only thing I do own is the plot.

Chapter 87: The Outer Senshi's Suspicions


In Mistress Nine's room...

"Pure Hearts..." Mistress Nine droned. "Hurry up and collect the Pure Hearts that will complete me."

"Our Messiah of Silence." Professor Tomoe bowed. "Now, my excellent minions are planning as such. Please, bear with us for just a while longer."


In Rei's room in the Hikawa Shrine...

"Amazing..." Usagi gawked, the girls were watching Araki Jinta's 'Blue Crisis Love' debut on television.

"Just like ants crawling around sugar." Rei sighed.

"I wonder if those chasers have nothing to do." Makoto mused.

"Chasers?" Ami echoed.

"The people who chase after musicians and other celebrities." Usagi supplied.

"What do they do, chasing after celebrities?" Ami pondered.

"They don't do much about it." Rei shrugged.

"Yeah," Usagi nodded. "I don't know how these people think."

"Even for us, chasing after celebrities really isn't something." Rei added.

"Of course not." Minako stammered.

"OI Minako." Artemis voiced. "Araki Jinta is..."

"We're going to be in high school next year." Minako smiled, silencing the white tomcat. "We can't be chasing..."

"And you have an announcement?" the show announcer handed the microphone to the singer.

"Yes," Araki spoke. "We would like to select the heroine for the movie coming out next July that I will be in the lead in from one of you. A public auction. The first cuts will be from 4.30 pm tomorrow at the Town Hall in Minato ward. Since there will be a swimsuit competition as well, don't forget to bring your best swimsuit. Let's have a hot summer with me next year."


In Professor Tomoe's laboratory...

"Mimete." Professor Tomoe started, having weighing the Daimon cultivation liquid. "Our Messiah of Silence is waiting. I hope you have the next plan already in gear."

"Of course, Professor." Mimete chirped. "Look at this." she pulled out the Araki poster in her file, her other assorted idol merchandise falling to the floor as a result. "Look at this." she showed Professor Tomoe the poster. "He's the next target. Araki Jinta, also known as Alazin. An 18-year-old with a wonderful smile. His newly released song 'Blue Crisis Love' is on the rise. At the rate he is going, it's a matter of time before he gets to the top."

"A singer?" Professor Tomoe noticed the connection of Mimete's targets. "Mimete, it seems like all your targets are celebrities. If you confuse our objective with your hobbies, you won't go far here in the Death Busters."


The next day...

"Where's Mina?" Artemis walked in to find the Inner Senshi busy studying.

"She said she had a fever from her cold." Rei replied. "So she's stay at home to rest."

That probably means that Mina... Artemis realized what his mistress was up to, suspecting that Minako had ditched the study session to attend the auction.


In the Hall...

"It's a small world." Haruka noted, the four Outer Senshi was watching Minako's auction from a side door.

"I am Mimete of the Death Busters." a humiliated Hanyuu Mimi shed her disguise and reverted back to her Mimete form after failing to pass the final round. "I applied for this auction to take the Pure Heart of Araki Jinta standing right there! Appear, Daimon U-Tahime!" she summoned the Daimon from her briefcase. "Charm Buster!" she attacked the audience with an energy beam from her staff. "U-Tahime, get to it!"

U-Tahime then jumped in front of Araki and grabbed his shirt and sucked out his Heart Crystal, before swallowing it.

"Moon Tiara Action!" Sailor Moon knocked Mimete's staff away with her magic frisbee. "You're the singer, and I'm the listener. Songs are everyone's friends. Bad guys who assault our idols; in the name of the Moon, I will punish you!"

Taking advantage of the distraction, Minako ran backstage. "Venus Planet Power, Make Up!" she transformed. "Mimete!" the Light Senshi barked. "Pretending to be a chaser, only to assault Araki, you are the enemy of every fan. Ally to every idol in the world, Sailor Venus; I'll have the divine punishment of love fall upon you."

"Shut up." Mimete snapped. "I wasn't pretending. But I'm Mimete of the Witches Five. This way," she giggled. "Araki's heart is ours forever! U-Tahime, kill all of them with your killer songs."

U-Tahime then started warming up her throat. "Killer Song! I forgot the lyrics..." she blushed.

"Crisis, Make Up!" Sailor Mercury summoned the Grail's power. "Aurora Execution!" the ice Senshi blasted the powerful blizzard of absolute zero at U-Tahime, destroying her once the ice shattered.

"This..." Mimete ran towards the exposed Heart Crystal. "I can't..."

"Flash Chain!" Sailor Venus summoned a thinner version of her 'Flash Chain' metal chain and used it to snatch the Heart Crystal away from Mimete.

"I'll get you for this!" Mimete fumed and fled the scene, seeing Sailor Venus claim the Heart Crystal.

"They seem to be gathering Pure Hearts." Sailor Neptune noted.

"For what purpose now?" Sailor Uranus frowned.

"Pure Hearts can become energy for the ones who move the world." Sailor Pluto spoke.

"In other words, they have already found the evil one, the Messiah of Silence." Sailor Saturn concluded.
