The little girl walked over to the clock shop. It was for a special reason. The shop was selling its merchandise at a cheaper price than most of the other places. So she had decided to ask her daddy if she could buy one. She was overjoyed when he said yes. He very rarely took time off from his work to pay attention to her. So now, she had gone to the mall and located the shop.
But before she had a chance to properly look around, one of the girls in Sailor suits that the other kids had been talking about (not with her, of course. She was just a freak to them) burst in and started yelling something. She couldn't quite make it out, but it seemed to be some kind of vendetta. Then the shopkeeper turned into something resembling an evil clown, with blue hair. She pulled out some kind of staff and shot a light from it at the other girl, who in turn fired electricity at the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper then went over to the little girl and grabbed her. "Any closer and I'll blow this human to dust.", she said. But before she could do anything else, the girl's eyes turned bright red and a blast of intense light knocked the creature back.
Sailor Jupiter was confused by what she had just seen. That little girl had managed to knock the Youma she was fighting to the floor, knocking herself out in the process. This was as good a time as any to finish it off. "Jupiter Supreme Thunder Crash!" One shot and the Youma was dust.
"A very impressive defeat.", another voice commented. Jupiter turned around to see the source of the voice: Sailor Venus. "I have to admit, you've been busy this last day. You've taken down Youma at a radio station, a gym and now a clock shop. You must be mad about Mercury's betrayal."
"What do you want?", the Brunette asked.
"I need your help.", Venus replied. "Mercury had my mum abducted last night. She says that she'll kill her unless I can get all the active Senshi to meet her at the train yard tonight. Which is why I need you to get Mars to help as well."
"I'll see what I can do.", Jupiter said in response. "You'll have to get those over two from last night on your own though."
"Don't worry," the blonde said with a wink "I think I know where to look."
Meanwhile, at a highly secure, secret location, a pair of scientists were working on their patient. She was a nurse at the Juuban hospital. Or rather she had been before a robot had done something to her, mutating her into a freak. That was the same day Takamoto Konishii had disappeared. Now, she had been transported here so they could find a way to reverse her transformation. But what they had found was astonishing.
"It's unusual.", the lead scientist declared. "This woman has very clearly changed in the appearance and bone structure. But her DNA hasn't been inconsistent with usual human DNA."
"What could have affected her?", asked his assistant.
Suddenly, the door exploded and two figures walked in. One was mostly metallic, gender indeterminate, while the other was clearly female, but she had blue skin and a megaphone and clipboard for hands. The metal one's "skirt" turned into an arm cannon, which vaporised the lead scientist. His assistant tried to sound the alarm, but the woman shot a strip of film from her head that pierced his heart.
"It's lucky for us that you managed to find this place.", Motro said. "Now Director, we shall free our comrade from her confinement." Following which he blasted the lock to the cell she was kept in.
"What do you want with me?", the nurse demanded.
"Your help in saving the world from evil.", the cyborg said.
At a small apartment block on the edge of the city, a blonde was packing boxes. She was saying goodbye to her apartment and moving in with a friend. Haruka Tenoh could still remember when her parents bought her this place, to help her focus on her studies without her brother's interference. Since then, she had found love that many people would condemn. But her parents had been supportive and allowed them to move into a penthouse together.
"Excuse me?" Haruka turned around to the source of the voice. It was a girl, two year her junior. Haruka assumed she was just a fan at first, come here to get an autograph.
"Look kiddo, I may be a racer, but I'm not exactly one to make a big deal out of-". But before she could continue, the other girl pulled out a pen with a sphere that had an alchemical symbol on it. "Oh, I see. Are you trying to start a friendship? Because if so, I'm not interested."
"I didn't come here for a social visit. I have an emergency. My mother's going to die-"
"My condolences.", Haruka interrupted, desperate to end this conversation as soon as possible.
"No you don't understand.", the other girl said. "She's going to die unless I can get you and your friend to show up for a fight at the train yard tonight."
"Ah, so she's a hostage.", Haruka said, understanding the situation. "I'll see if we can be there by 7." And then she decided to ask a question of her own. "Just how did you figure out I was a Senshi?"
But all the other girl said was "I did my homework."
At the train yard, Mercury was making the final preparations for the upcoming showdown. She had the goldfish Youma (now named Daburu Pisces) tie Mrs. Aino to the wall. Jadeite had lent her the use of his four surviving servants, Balm, Iguara, Kigaan and Garoben. In addition, she had been given use of Titus, one of Queen Beryl's elite.
"You won't get away with this!", the captive woman yelled. "Someone will stop you, you horrible people."
Daburu Pisces' 2 heads both had something to say. His white head blubbered "Oh god, what if she's right? What if we are going to die?". But his orange head was growling "Oh my god, can someone shut her up? She's being annoying."
"It looks like we're going to need better help than this, my dear.", Titus suggested to Mercury. Taking the hint, she pointed her staff at a homeless man, playing the violin and sitting on the car. This created at least 3 new warriors to fight for them; a man made entirely of soil, a Picasso-esque man, made of wood, dressed in 17th century garb, and a woman with wheels on her shoulders and legs, dressed as a racer.
"These will suffice.", Mercury stated, preparing for the inevitable destruction of the Sailors and the victory of the Dark Kingdom.
