Michiru's P.O.V.

New powers? Good. We should be able to defeat the
enemy easily if we're anywhere near as powerful as these Guards
and Generals.

"Okay! So," wait, how did she transform without yelling
out her transformation phrase? "You all know from your memories,
that there's a Saikoushidousha form for each senshi, right?"

"Hai," was heard all over the room. Sailor Phoenix starts
twirling her staff.

"Uh, just before you start, what is that?" asks Mina.

"Oh, this is the Staff of Legends. Kawaii, iie?"

"Umm...hai."

"Anyway, on with my story. I'm the keeper of the
planetary crystals, so it's up to me to decide whether or not you're
ready for your Saikoushidousha powers. Sailor Mercury, please, step up."
I watch as Mercury advanced. "This," Phoenix produces a blue crystal out of
thin air. "Is the Mercury crystal." Almost as if entranced,
Mercury holds out her hands, and the crystal floats towards her.
"Now, before you get your Saikoushidousha powers, do you swear
your everlasting allegiance to
Princess Serenity and all she rules?"

"Hai, I do."

"Then concentrate on the crystal. There's a lot of power, but
you'll get used to it. Concentrate on the crystal, the power, *your* power,
your need to save the people, your need to protect the princess."

A silver blue flash submerges the room. In Sailor Mercury's place
now stands Saikoushidousha Sailor Mercury. Her fuku is now baby blue,
tinted with silver along the edges. The usual white is now white tinted silver
edges.

Then, Princess Serenity stands up from her seat on the couch.
"You are now proclaimed Saikoushidousha Sailor Mercury, Princess
of Mercury, sole operator of the Mercury Crystal. Mercury, I now
bestow upon you, your birth right." As she says these words, she
places her hand on Mercury's head. Slowly, a silver tiara encrusted
with sapphires appears where her golden tiara had once been.

Mercury sits down, and one by one, the Inner Senshi get their
powers. Then we Outers go up. Hotaru first, then Haruka. As I was
about to go up, a flash of dark green light appears, and there stands
Sailor Pluto.

"Glad to see you've chosen to join us, Pluto."

"Kirei, I should've known it was you."

"Not glad to see me?"

"Of course I'm glad!" For the first time in a long time, I see
Pluto crack a smile.

"Now, can we continue?"

"Hai, of course. Gomen, Neptune, for interrupting your
initiation."

"Apology accepted."

"Sailor Neptune, please, step up. This," Phoenix
produces a turquoise crystal out of thin air. "Is the Neptune crystal."
I hold out my hands, and the crystal floats towards me. "Now, before
you get your Saikoushidousha powers, do you swear your
everlasting allegiance to Princess Serenity and all she rules?"

"Hai, I do."

"Then concentrate on the crystal. There's a lot of power,
but you'll get used to it. Concentrate on the crystal, the power,
*your* power, your need to save the people, your need to
protect the princess."

A silver turquoise flash submerges the room. I can feel
the pure energy engulf my whole being. I feel strong. Power, love,
and kindness overwhelm my senses. I look down as the feeling
subsides. My fuku is now a light turquoise, trimmed with silver
edges. The usual white is now white tinted silver edges as well.
The crystal floats back to Sailor Phoenix and disappears.

Princess Serenity stands up from her seat on the couch.
"You are now proclaimed Saikoushidousha Sailor Neptune,
Princess of Neptune, sole operator of the Neptune Crystal.
Neptune, I now bestow upon you, your birth right." As she
says these words, she places her hand on my head. Slowly, a
silver tiara encrusted with jades appears where my golden
tiara had once been.

I sit down, overwhelmed. Pluto steps up, and goes
through the same procedure.

A silvery white flash fills the room. Where Serenity
once stood, now stands Saikoushidousha Sailormoon.
"Congratulations, you are now the Saikoushidousha Sailor
Senshi. In other words, easier to pronounce words, you are the
Ultimate Sailor Senshi. You have bonded with your crystals. This
is your most powerful form as a senshi. The next form for you is
when you become queen.

"You can communicate within the Senshi, Guards and
Generals with your new telepathic capabilities. You no longer have
to yell out your transformation or attack words. All you have to do
is think it. Will it. And it will happen. Your attacks, they are limited
only to your imagination. Each attack will be created by you, and
you only. There are only two attacks that need to be yelled. Your
basic attack, and your maximum attack.

"There is only one basic attack. You should use these
attacks while you're still getting used to your new powers. Your
maximum attack will be known when the time is right. The only
reason you yell it is because it will help add force to the attack.
For Mercury, it is verbally called 'Mercury Ice Shards'.
Shards of ice will be shot at wherever you aim.

"Mars, you have the 'Mars Inferno Flame'. A flame will
be shot out from your right index finger. Basically, it's like a
flame-thrower, except the heat is a hell of a lot more powerful.

"Jupiter, you have the 'Jupiter Nova Sparks'. Numerous
sparks will come from your palms and surround the youma, as
you will it, the sparks will connect and make one huge chain.
The chain will entrap the opponent, and I think you know what
will happen next.

"Venus, your attack is 'Venus Heartbreak Implosion'.
A small pain will develop in the heart area of your opponent.
Designed to have the opponent underestimate you, this will literally
disintegrate the opponent from the inside out. You may not want
to use this on the Senshi in training.

"Saturn, your attack is 'Saturn Rings of Death'. When you
say it, rings not unlike the ones surrounding your planet, will encircle
your opponent, and basically squeeze the life out of them.

"Uranus, your attack is 'Uranus Squall Detonate'. Winds
will come from your hands and push away the opponent with enough
force to kill it.

"Neptune, you have the 'Neptune Nautical Nuke'. A
bomb of energy will come from the emerald on your tiara. When
the bomb contacts with the opponent, they will disintegrate into
nothingness.

"Finally, Pluto. You have the 'Pluto Time Warp'. When
you point your staff at your opponent, their age will speed up to
their death point.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you. While you don't have to yell out
your attacks, you *do* have to yell them out if you want to do
a tag attack with two or more people. Phoenix and I have a
'White Phoenix Fire' attack. I think you get it.

"Lastly, Tuxedo Kamen. Will you please stand forward to
receive your new powers?"
