Last time. . .
The Rangers and Senshi went into battle against one of Divatox's latest monsters, Drainiac. The Rangers destroyed the monster while the Senshi were sent back to the Power Chamber, seriously drained of their powers. Now with their powers in the balance, the Senshi must do something to fix it.
Now on with the story. . .
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the Power Chamber. . .
The Rangers teleport into the Power Chamber with their helmets off and Luna in Katherine's other available arm and Artemis in Justin's. Four more beds have appeared in addition to the one that is always there. The Sailor Senshi rest on those bed, out of their fukus and back in their street clothes.
"Alpha, are they going to be okay?" asks Katherine.
"Yo yo yo, sure they are, but unfortunately, I can't say the same thing for their powers."
"What do you mean, Alpha? Shouldn't their energy have been returned to them when we defeated Drainiac?" asks Tanya.
"Usually they do, but it doesn't seem to work that way with these magical powers. Maybe it's the monster that they were fighting. They aren't the Senshi's usual type."
"So what now?" asks Justin.
Suddenly, one of the senshi starts to stir. It was Usagi.
"Usagi, are you okay?" asks Adam. "Ug, I feel like an elephant trampled all over me," moans Usagi.
"Serves you right, Odango Atama," groans Rei.
"Well, it looks like those two are okay," Ami says softly.
"What happened to us, Beta?" asks Makoto.
"Yo yo yo, the name's Alpha, toots. Alpha 6. That mean monster drained you five of your senshi powers. You're back to the bare basics."
"What does that mean?" asks Mina.
"Does "Moon Prism Power" or ordinary "Power Make-Up!" mean anything to you girls?"
"I think Alpha means that we're back to our original powers," says Ami.
"Is there anything we can do to fix their powers?" asks Tommy.
At that moment, Ninjor chooses to appear and starts to explain his plan.

On the moon. . .
"Ah, my darling son and daughter-in-law, I'm glad to be back," says Queen Machina of the late but great Machine Empire.
"It was the least we could do, mother-in-law," exclaims Princess Archerina. "We didn't want you to miss out on seeing your first granddaughter, Megabyta."
"It was so sad to see you in pieces like that, mother," mentions Machina's first-built son, Prince Gasket.
"Aye, it's good to see ya, too, my lord," saids the one of the Machine Empire's royal footmen, Klank.
"You can say that again," follows up Orbus, partner of Klank.
"Hey, what about us, you insolent son of mine," growls an outraged head of King Mondo.
"You know, father, I like you better this way," taunts Gasket.
"Now, now, son, you know it wouldn't be right to leave your father like that," says Machina.
"Oh, alright, I'll repair Pops, but the little brat is staying dismantled and his voice box disconnnected."
The second son of Mondo and Machina, Prince Sprocket, began rocking his head around in anger, trying to get noise to come out of his mouth.
"GAAAAASSSSKKKEETTT!!! You'll fix your brother or ELSE!" yells Mondo.
"Fine, whatever!" Gasket throws up his arms in anger.
"Calm down, my dear," cooes Archerina to Gasket.
He whispers to his love, "Little does my father know that I've planted a mind-control device in him and the little brat."
"I HEARD THAT, GASKET!" yells Mondo.
"Drats! Foiled again, ugh," replies Gasket.
Sprocket just snickers.
"Honey, why don't we send down the Cogs to roughen things up for those rotten Zeo Rangers?" suggests Machina.
"Mother dearest, they're the Turbo Rangers now," says Archerina.
"Zeo, Turbo, whatever, they're still menaces to our plans. Klank, Orbus, go with the Cogs and attack the rangers NOW!!" orders King Mondo.
"Right away, your highheadedness," says Klank.
"Klank, shut your trap! In the meanwhile, I want a new monster, do you hear ME!!"
"Yes, father," mumbles Gasket. *One day, you will be gone, and I WILL rule the Machine Empire.*

At the Power Chamber. . .
"So, we have to travel to the Desert of Despair and travel for two days?" questions Ami.
"Yes, you must prove yourselves worthy," says Ninjor.
An alarm starts to blare while Ninjor is explaining what the Senshi have to do. An image comes up on the viewing globe. The Rangers gasp in suprise.
"Those can't be. . ." says Tanya.
"Yeah, they're Cogs, and they're attacking the mineral refinery," confirms Adam.
"Isn't that where we had our first fight with them?" asks Katherine.
"Yes, and there are a whole lot of them, more than usual," comments Tommy.
"We can't leave you now," says Mina.
"But your current powers wouldn't be stand up against their strength," says Katherine.
"Let us try, pleeeaasssee. If you don't, I'll start a cryfest," says Usagi.
"This from a girl who's a foreign exchange high school student," moans Luna with a sweatdrop forming over her head. Artemis attempts to cuddle up with Luna, but she gives him a good whopping to deter him. "Don't even think about it, Artemis."
"Me? Hey, what'd I do?"
"You know perfectly well you were trying to cope a feel."
"Would you two please shut up now? I'm trying to argue to the Rangers that we should help them with the Cogs," yells Usagi.
"Fine, if you want to help, then let's kick it into high gear!" yells Tommy.
"Shift Into Turbo!" "Minna, henshin yo!"
"Mountain Blaster Turbo Power!" "Moon Prism Power, Make-up!"
"Desert Thunder Turbo Power!" "Mercury Power, Make-up!"
"Dune Star Turbo Power!" "Mars Power, Make-up!"
"Wind Chaser Turbo Power!" "Jupiter Power, Make-up!"
"Red Lightning Turbo Power!" "Venus Power, Make-up!"
They teleport out of the Power Chamber and head towards the mineral refinery.

Meanwhile, in the Lunar Palace. . .
"So, what did you find out, Goldar?" asks Lord Zedd, supposed ruler of the Dark Galaxies.
"We met that General Edite in the parks," says Rito Revolto, Rita Repulsa's brother.
"It's JADEITE, you fool," yells Goldar.
"Sorry, Goldie. Anyway, we arranged to meet him in the park in an hour after he's talked with Queen Beryl," says Rito.
"Excellent, Rito! You may have done your third successful deed!" exclaims Zedd.
"I didn't even know he did a first successful deed," growls Goldar.
"SHUT UP, Goldielocks!" screeches Rita.
"Nails on a chalkboard, her voice is music to my ears," says a lovestruck Zedd.
"Kinda like what she did to the Dragonzord during our first year out of the dumpster," comments Goldar.
"Will you stop, Goldenstein. I never want to hear another reference to that failure of mine," bellows Rita.
"Anyway, let us make plans. Prepare the tengas! Get Finster in here," orders Lord Zedd.
"FINSTER!!" yells Rita.
"I'm coming, my reason for living, but I have urgent news of my own to tell you," says Finster, monster maker extraordinaire.
"Spit it out!" yell Zedd and Rita together.
"It may displease you to know, but the Machine Empire is back up and running."
Zedd walks up to the balcony and bangs his fist against the railing in anger. "Noooo!! They'll ruin my plans!"
"Too late, hubby." Rita looks through her Repulsascope.
"Send down the Tengas, NOW!!" commands Zedd. He points to Goldar and Rito. "You two, go down with Finster to meet Jadeite and prepare for our arrival."
"We're on it, Ed."
"Z-E-D-D, my name is LORD ZEDD!" yells Zedd.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the mineral refinery. . .
The Rangers and Senshi are having a tough time with the Cogs. Sailors Moon and Mercury were already down, and the Blue and Pink Turbo Rangers were tending to them. That left three Rangers and three scouts to defend the others and keep the Cogs at bay.
"I don't know how much more we can take, Tommy," says Adam.
"I'm starting to get weak," comments Sailor Venus.
"Jupiter Oak Revolution!" Sailor Jupiter yells. Nothing happened. "I was hoping I could access my Crystal Power attack."
"Well, we can't, so give them what you got! Fire Soul!" yells Sailor Mars. A cog is slightly melted, but still operating.
"Sparkling White Pressure!" Sailor Jupiter commands. Nothing happens again.
"Get it through your head, Jupiter, you've only got your basic attack!" complains Sailor Mars. She pulls out an ofuda and throws it at a cog. "Akiryu Taisan!" The cog she had damaged earlier was hit by the spirit ward and vaporized.
Tommy and Adam see this.
"That's amazing," comments Adam.
"You should read those mangas that Naoko creates about them, they do so much more in them. And Japanese anime is cool also," says Tommy.
[In this universe, the Scouts have their usual exploits and liscensed Naoko to draw the manga and Toei to make the anime. They even let her use their real names. To cover for this, Naoko held a 'contest' for names for the senshi's civilian IDs and Usagi, Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minako just 'happened to win'. :) Minako even went as far as to liscense to Naoko the rights to make a story about the exploits of Sailor V. All this happened against the express wishes of Luna and Artemis, but do you think the senshi really cared what Luna and Artemis thought, especially since Rei didn't get any bad vibes. And where do you think they kept the money? That's right, a Senshi Secret Accout. ;p --author]
"And we get to see them in real life, cool," says Justin, who left Katherine to tend to Sailors Moon and Mercury while he went back to the fight.
"Guys, I think it's time for the Turbo Weapons," suggest Tanya.
"Right. Turbo Lightning Sword!" yells Tommy.
"Turbo Hand Blasters!" yells Justin.
"Turbo Thunder Cannon!" yells Adam.
"Turbo Star Charges!" yells Tanya.
"Turbo Windfire!" yells Katherine, since the Cogs had gotten wise and started to head toward her and the two fallen Senshi.
Suddenly, the Tengas appear and start to surround the Rangers, Senshi, and Cogs.
"Guys, get ready," warns Sailor Jupiter.
"What does she mean?" asks Tanya.
"It means we should get out of here," says Sailor Venus.
"What?" asks Tommy.
"Alpha, teleport us all except Jupiter," yells Sailor Mars.
In each their own individual color of light, the Senshi and Rangers leave the scene except for Sailor Jupiter.
A lightning rod extends from Jupiter's tiara. Electricity starts to flow through her. "Oh, supreme god Zeus, I, your servant, call upon your full power." The electricity starts to flow faster.
Dark clouds started to cover the sky. Angel Grove's citizens were starting to get worried. They had never seen clouds this dark, except for a few times during the first year the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers were in existance, and then, the clouds always meant evil trouble.
"Supreme Zeus, hear my call! I call upon the power of thunder." Lightning surged through her body. The electricity flowing through her body was becoming overwhelming. Sailor Jupiter was ready. "JUPITER CRYSTAL POWER!!" She transforms into her Super form. "Jupiter Oak Revolution! Sparkling White Pressure! Supreme Thunder!" She whirled her attacks at the wary Cogs and Tengas.
The Cogs melted and there was nothing left of the Tengas except for Kentucky Fried Chicken. Super Sailor Jupiter collapses and returned to her civilian clothes. Fizzles and sparks could be seen coming from what was left of the Cogs and steam rose from the chicken.
A green teleportation beam enveloped Lita and teleported her back to the Power Chamber while a neutral white beam took
away the chicken.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the Lunar Palace. . .
"Ugh, that accursed yet good-looking, long legged, and very talented girl in the green and white fuku beat our tengas and turned them into Kentucky Fried Chicken," complains Lord Zedd.
Rita bops him on the head with her staff.
"What was that for?" he asks.
"'That accursed yet GOOD-LOOKING, LONG LEGGED, AND VERY TALENTED girl.' I guess there's nothing wrong with that, you idiot. How dare you look at another woman like that," Rita screeches. "You hentai, ecchii baka."
"Oh, shut up, Rita. It's almost time to meet Jadeite and my mother. Go make yourself beautiful. I want you to make a good first impression."
"You never made a good first impression on my father."
"How could I when he just pushed his way in here and took over. My mother hasn't done anything like that."
"Yet, Zeddie, yet. Fine. Let's go. But first, Scorpina, GET IN HERE!!"
"Yes, my queen?" answers Scorpina, one of the cruelest warriors in the known galaxy.
"You are to accompany us to Earth, where we shall be meeting my 'darling mother-in-law, Queen Beryl," says Rita.
"You mean the Beryl?" asks Scorpina.
"Yes, what do you know of her?" asks Rita.
"Only that she was one of the most ruthless, powerful, and evil people in all the galaxy, second only to Dark Spectre and Goldgoyle and a being known as Diaboromon, as far as I know."
"Very good. Now let us go," says Zedd.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
At the Machine Skybase. . .
The Royal House of Gadgetry has gathered around Mondo's viewing gear watching the fight.
"That didn't bode well at all," says Machina.
"If it hadn't been for those accursed Tengas, mother, we would have defeated those meddling rangers," seethes Gasket.
"Haha, big brother can't do anything right," gloats Sprocket.
"Hush yourself, son. That's no way to treat your brother," says Machina.
"I knew I shouldn't have reconnected his voice box," says Gasket.
"Well, Gasket, he's got a better chance at being the heir than you do," says Mondo.
"Shall I get a monster ready?" asks Klank.
"Yes, prepare a monster. Make it faster and more powerful than those new-fangled Turbo Zords," says Mondo.
"Right away," say Klank and Orbus together as they go off to get to work.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Back at the Power Chamber. . .
"How is she, Alpha?" asks a worried Serena.
"She's fine, but very weak. I'm afraid to say she most defiantly won't be able to transform anymore. And you, Ami, Rei, and Mina maybe, at most, have one more transformation left before you won't be able to do so anymore."
"Is there anything we can do?" asks Tommy.
"For now, you can eat lunch," Alpha replies. He produces a plate of a weird looking fried chicken from behind his back.
Usagi picks up a leg and takes a bite out of it. "This doesn't taste like chicken," she comments.
"That's because it's fried Tenga!" exclaims Alpha.
Usagi gags and everybody sweatdrops.
"Alpha, wasn't that uncalled for?" asks Dimitria.
"Sheesh, it's just meat, and it was going to waste!" exclaims Alpha.
"Don't do that again, Alpha," says Katherine.
"Back to the matter at hand, what about our powers?" asks Ami.
Ninjor reappears and reminds them about what he told them earlier.
"I'll meet you at my temple, where if you manage to make it, I'll grant you your new powers."
"Let's go, then," says Makoto.
"But you're still weak," says Usagi
"I'll be okay."
"Can't we help them?" asks Justin.
"This is something they have to do on their own," replies Adam.
"Good luck, our friends," says Tommy.
The Senshi hold hands and by some means are able to activate their Scout Teleport.
The alarm blares.
"What is it, Alpha?" asks Adam.
"Yo yo yo, Zedd and Rita have appeared in the park with Scorpina and have met up with Goldar, Rito, and a blonde-haired man in a uniform."
"Rangers, would it not be prudent to take care of this immediately?" asks Dimitria.
To Be Continued. . .
Next Time: The Rangers attempt to intercept the evil meeting. Meanwhile, the senshi attempt to pass through the Desert of Despair, but only meet with one disaster after another. What will be the outcome? And what does the Machine Empire have planned? Find out next time!
Sailor Says
Usagi: Hey, fans, it's me, Usagi, the star of the show.
Tommy: No, I'm the star. I'm the one the fans like, with my "We just have to take that risk" zord-blowing-up
action.
Justin: No, I'm the one the fans like. I'm just so cute and loveable.
Chibiusa: Who the heck do you think you are? I'm the cute and adoreable one.
Justin: Oh my god, IT's so sweet I'm getting cavities.
Chibiusa: I resemble that remark.
Justin: You should, it was describing you, you little spore.
Usagi: Chibiusa, you're not suppose to be here for several more episodes yet.
Rei: Thanks, Usagi, for blowing the writer's attempts at future suspense.
Usagi: Phmmmmmppppbbbb!!

Usagi: PhmmmmmppppbbbbPhmmmmmppppbbbbPhmmmmmppppbbbbPhmmmmmppppbbbbPhmmmmmppppbbbb!!
Minako: Let's just end this Sailor Sez! Since we came on PR, our Sailor Sezs just haven't been that educational.
Makoto: And that's a bad thing?
Minako: Now that you mention it, no.
Makoto&Minako: Sailors Jupiter & Venus Say!
Bloopers: Sprocket's head sparks when he attempts to speak; Rita knocks Zedd on the floor when he makes the hentai
remark about Makoto; Zedd can't get back up from aforementioned fall on the floor; the Rangers and Senshi start laughing at
the thought of Kentucky Fried Tenga.
