Author's Notes: After seeing a Sailor Moon trading card game come into the world of games, I was so horribly disgusted at how corny the cards were printed. Good grief, leave the Japanese anime to TV and concentrate making games on other games like Pokemon and Monster Rancher!! I am so sorry for my rambling but it has been bothering me since I looked at the advertisement in Inquest Gamer.
Disclaimers: Sailor Moon belongs to Naoko Takeuchi, Rifts RPG belongs to Kevin Siembieda and Palladium Books, the Symbiotic Order is based loosely on original concepts created by Marvel Comics, physical appearances of Parallax, Nexus, Raganok, Shyft and Omicron are based on original designs by Mainframe Entertainment and Akira Toriyama. Heck, the individual names for the different installments come from Wizards of the Coast!! So please don't sue me!!!
Consecutive Battles - Spiritual Asylum
It took me some time to locate the good doctor's home. Surprisingly, it looked to be intact, regardless of the gigantic mess left by the old lab of the Death Busters. Dr. Tomoe must have created a miracle cleaner or something. When the lab was cleansed by Serenity, the heart snatcher pods started spraying all sorts of pink goo everywhere. I quickly checked my "shopping" list and hovered down to the front door.
I had already purchased some comfortable clothing to blend in with the crowd. That way, the meddlesome Sailors won't be able to find me so easily. I gently knocked on the front door. A white-haired man answered the door. "May I help you?" "Doc, don't you remember? It's me, Aaron!!" I may be no shapeshifter but I'm a master of disguise. Thank God I mastered all my espionage skills before the Order attacked. Also a bit of telepathy helped me to understand a bit about Dr. Tomoe's temporary helper.
"Aaron!! It's been a while, come on in!!! Do you want some tea?" I closed the door behind me as I walked in. "Sure. Just get me my usual, thanks." He came back with two cups of English tea. "So what brings you here?" "I was hoping to borrow a few parts for the experiment I'm currently working on."
"Sound waves? I thought you planned to go into nuclear physics." I slowly took a sip of my tea. "I still found nuclear physics fascinating but I've been working on a new experiment with my physics professor. He needed an assistant to help him with his new theories on supersonic waves." "And you volunteered?"
"He volunteered me. I guess it's because that my grades are so high that I could afford to take some time off to help him. I won't get penalized too severely since he explained this to the other professors on campus. Anyway, he's been designing a rather interesting piece of equipment." I took out my laptop and uploaded the blueprints for the Sonic Grenade. "The design looks feasible to create except that we need a few parts that are hard to find. I came to you because you're a well-known man inside the scientific community. Someone like yourself should have an abundance of resources."
"I do believe that I may have some of the parts you may be looking for. Why don't you come with me to the lab? I'm not running any major experiments so you don't have to be extra cautious." I sighed in relief before following Dr. Tomoe to the laboratory entrance.
"I can't believe that he would just blow up the man's head like that!!" Hotaru tried her best not to start vomiting. "Everybody's talking about how dangerous he is. Even Pluto is feeling a bit funny about him," said Rini. "I'm sure the others can figure something out. How about some ice cream over at my place?" The pink-haired girl gave a large smile. "Let's go!!"
"Is this the part you wanted, Aaron?" I looked at the part carefully. "Yeah, that's the last piece I need. Thanks a lot, doc." The doctor smiled before he headed upstairs. This is going to be sweet. After I construct the Sonic Grenade, then I can give it a quick test before leaving this dimension. Piece of cake.
The girls hung up their spring coats before heading to the kitchen. "Hotaru, is that you?" The doctor had just come upstairs. "Hi, daddy. I'm just getting some ice cream for myself and Rini. Want some?" Dr. Tomoe grinned. "Sounds good. Maybe I should ask Aaron if he wants some too."
"Aaron?" Another man came up the stairs from the basement. "Someone called?" The girls gave simultaneous gasps. He sounded exactly like that man with the gun that they encountered earlier.
Mini-Moon and Saturn. This is just great. Apparently, they recognized my voice. Dr. Tomoe made the introductions. "Aaron, you remember Hotaru. And this is Hotaru's friend, Rini." I gave a smile. "It's nice to meet you." The two were obviously shocked from my sudden appearance. "Maybe I should leave. I got all the parts I needed."
"You sure you don't want to stay for ice cream?" I decided to take up on the offer just to avoid suspicion. Dr. Tomoe scooped the ice cream on to three bowls. "Hey, doc. Aren't you going to have some?" He shook his head. "I have some important errands to run. I'll be right back."
"No, you won't." I took out my newly constructed Sonic Grenade and tossed it at the doctor's feet. It started emitting a high-pitched whine. The glass in the kitchen started to crack. Slowly, we watched as the symbiote came off of the doctor's body. I took out my Particle Beam Pistol and finished it. The doctor collapsed, unconscious.
"What did you do to him?!" I deactivated the Sonic Grenade. "He'll be fine, Saturn. He's just asleep." You idiotic little symbiote. You just had to reveal yourself by showing me where all the parts were. Even with some memory of Pharaoh 90's knowledge, it would take the doctor days to identify the components.
"He already knows!! What do we do?!?" Hotaru calmed her friend down. "Why did you call me Saturn?" I gave a loud groan. "Isn't it that obvious?!? Who else but you would have those violet eyes and the shortened black hair? Even your Mini-Moon friend's hair style is so ridiculously easy to identify. I just have to assume that this planet is made entirely of idiots that can't even recognize the Sailors in broad daylight!!"
"Looks like we have to fight him," whispered Rini. Hotaru nodded. "SATURN PLANET POWER!!!" (remember, that this is an alternate reality and not everything is based on the original comic/anime.) "MOON PRISM POWER!!!" A blinding light flashed before my eyes. In a moment, two Sailors transformed and prepared themselves for battle.
"You have got to be kidding me. Fighting in mini-skirts? Don't you girls have any sort of dignity at all?" Saturn whipped out her Silence Glaive and attacked me with it. I easily dodged the attack. "It's been nice but I have a mission to complete!" After transforming to my full suit of mega-damage armour, I ran out the door and attempted to open a dimensional rift. Nothing happened.
My sixth sense was ringing like crazy. Then I started feeling the auras of Omicron, Parallax and the rest of the Brady bunch. The Symbiotic Order has trapped me in this world. I looked up and I saw their dampening field creating a new colour of purple in the sky...my Spiritual Asylum. Even Saturn and Mini-Moon were surprised at the sky turning purple. I started swearing in every single language I knew.
Mini-Moon gave a curious look to Saturn. "I thought I heard him say something in my mommy's language." A look of understanding came upon Saturn's face. "Lunarian." Mini-Moon furrowed her eyebrow. "Yeah. I've been learning it from my mom's friend, Mercury. Anyway, what does fuc-" Saturn immediately covered Mini-Moon's mouth. "I think you should forget about those things that you heard, okay?"
Well this wraps up another installment!! I hope I can still keep writing, even though I am swamped with projects. Please review!!
