After a few minutes, the man lying on Haruka's floor came to. "What happened?", he asked with confusion.
"You passed out.", Haruka said with a matter-of-fact tone. "Now Taka, how about you explain how you ended up back to normal. The last time I saw you, you'd been turned into a giant metal man, trying to kill me."
"You mean Motro.", he said. "He created a machine to separate himself from the human element of his body. Namely me. Once, we were separated, he tried to kill me. He's creating an army of robots to raise the city and take down the Dark Kingdom."
Upon hearing this, Haruka was adamant on what to do. "We have to stop him before he can launch his attack. Can you take him to where he's holed up?"
"Of course I can.", the injured mon said in response. "But I think it's best we go alone. You know, so we can get there quicker."
"If you say so.", Haruka shrugged before running out. As she did, she failed to notice Takamoto say "Stupid, gullible Tenoh" under his breath before joining her.
Meanwhile, across town, three of the Sailor Guardians (and the princess of the Moon) were being confronted by the very robots Takamoto had been talking about. A small group of them anyway. The three of them launched their attacks at the mechanical terrors.
"Venus Crescent Beam, Smash!"
"Mercury Bubble Spray, Blast!"
"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"
But none of them had any effect. The machines continued to advance.
"They've been proofed against our basic attacks.", Mercury said. "But perhaps our star power attacks could be powerful enough to put a dent in their numbers."
"Bad metal puns aside, I think that could work.", Venus said, before calling on her enhanced attack. "Venus Love Chain Encircle!" As predicted, three of them were impaled and lying prostrate on the floor.
Mercury followed suit with her enhanced attack "Shine Aqua Illusion!" With that, another three of the robots were shorted out. That just left Jupiter facing off against the last three. As they advanced, the fourth figure in the room emitted a blinding light and rose up into the air. Her voice cried out.
"Moon Prism Power!" A flash, and the princess was now dressed in a similar outfit to the other Sailors.
"You mean we don't actually have to say "Make Up" as part of the transformation?", Mercury said with shock.
"Oh that?", Venus reacted "What Artemis actually told Luna was to make up a grand speech to try and get you girls to co-operate if you were ever found and didn't believe her story. He just has a stilted way of saying certain words."
"]]]]YOUR APPEARANCE DOES NOT COMLY WIH CURRENT INFORMATION ON ACTIVE SAILOR SCOUTS![[[[", one of the robots buzzed. "]]]]PLEASE IDENTIFY![[[["
"I am Sailor Moon, the champion of justice!", the princess sailor Guardian replied. "And on behalf of the Moon, I shall right wrongs and punish evil. And that means you!"
"Now that's a speech worthy of Yugi Moto himself.", Venus replied. Then the princess pressed the jewel on her tiara and pulled it off, as it transformed into a discus.
"Moon Tiara Magic!"
The glowing discus flew threw the air like a boomerang. It hit all three of the remaining robots causing them to collapse. Jupiter breathed a sigh of relief. "I'm just glad that you're awake, or that would've been a close one."
"Yeah, but I'm not entirely sure about this whole thing myself.", Usagi Tsukino said in response. "Is this the whole team?"
"No, we're missing Sailor Mars.", Mercury responded. "We should probably go and check what's keeping her."
Meanwhile, Haruka and Takamoto were outside the doors of the abandoned factory where Motro had supposedly set up shop.
"Wait out here.", Haruka hissed at her companion. "I'm going in."
"Are you sure about this -" Takamoto began before Haruka kicked the door in.
"What have we here?", Motro said, turning around from a conveyor belt, producing more of the robots.
"Remember me?", Haruka yelled. "Because I'm about to make sure you don't forget." But as she lifted her transformation pen, her hand was stopped and the pen snatched from her grip. Haruka turned around and was shocked to who had taken it.
It was Takamoto, who now started laughing and transformed into Motro. "Did you really think I'd remove my human element? It's the one thing that allowed me to fool you so effectively."
Haruka was shocked. "If you're still Motro, then what's that thing over there?" A quick blast from the real deals arm Cannon quickly answered her query; a robot.
"Hold her!", the mechanical man said to his robots. Two of them stepped off the conveyor and grabbed her. Then he turned on the lights to reveal a machine. It had the stolen Rainbow Crystal in the centre and the star seeds of the people he had turned into his servants on four podiums. Motro placed the pen in a holder on top of the device. "I lured you here so I could harness your transformation energies for my servants."
"No. Don't do it!", the girl cried, but to no avail. He switched on the machine, which began crackling with power. The capsular objects began to glow, 4 pens identical to Haruka's rising from them. When the process was over, the one that had powered the machine turned grey and shattered into several pieces.
