"Nani yo? Mamo-chan, lets go check it out!"
"Usako, it's too dangerous." She shrugged and ran in the direction of the gunfire.
"Usako!"
Usagi ignored him and kept running. Finally, she saw a group of men firing at police officers. She ducked into an alley. *I seem to always henshin in alleys...*
"Moon Crystal Power, Make Up!"
The Senshi of the Moon stood on top of a mini van, arms crossed. An idea suddenly came to her. "Moon Tiara Action!"
The tiara flew towards the men, knocking the guns from their hands. "Tiara Trap!" Following the commands of Sailor Moon, the tiara trapped all five of the men.
"Dare desu ka?"
She jumped down from the van, striking her pose. "My name is Sailor Moon."
"Sailor Moon, how can we ever thank you? Those men were from a dangerous gang!"
"No need to, Sir," Moon replied with the wave of her hand. "I'm just happy to be able to help!"
"Where are you from?" another officer asked. "Why'd you do that?"
"I fight for love and justice! I will punish the wrong doers in the name of the Moon!" The Senshi leapt off before anyone could reply.

Mamoru had just arrived at the police scene in time to see someone jump away. He followed the figure as they ran along the rooftops. Finally, they jumped down, and he was waiting.
Moon came to a stop when she saw who was standing in front of her. "Usako...why didn't you tell me?"
She looked at the ground. "Because... because I didn't want you to worry about me. No one would let me go through with this if I told them."
"Let you go through with what? Playing cops and robbers? The others don't know you're doing this, do they?"
"I'm not playing games, Mamo-chan!" Usagi was upset by his condesending tone. "And, no, they don't know! They're never going to know! I'll just hear Rei-chan telling me over and over how things should be done and how I shouldn't even be doing this cause 'I'm too much of a klutz.' This is just me, no one else! Do you know how much it hurts to overhear them talking about replacing me as leader of the Senshi?"
"They didn't say that, did they?"
"Not to my face," she replied sadly.
"Is that why you're chasing criminals?"
She crossed her arms. "That's not the only reason I'm doing this! I'm a Senshi of love and justice, I have to protect the people of Tokyo!"
Mamoru watched her as she said this, looking her up and down. He had never seen her so serious before. "Well...just promise me you'll be careful, and let me help you in some way."
"I will, Mamo-chan!" Usagi dehenshined and took Mamoru's hand. She didn't notice that her shoulder was still bleeding.
He paused for a minute, thinking. "Your shoulder...you got shot, didn't you?"
"I didn't get shot... well, not fully."
"Nani yo?"
She waved it off. "It only grazed my shoulder. I'm fine."
"Usako...I'm coming with you next time."
"You don't need to, Mamo-chan!" Usagi said. "See, that's exactly what I wanted to avoid! No one thinks I can do anything on my own!"
"It's because we care about you. And I don't want you to get hurt...or worse..."
Usagi only looked at him. She knew he wouldn't change his mind. "Fine, you can come with me next time."
"Good." Mamoru nodded. What he didn't know was that Usagi had no intention of ever letting him help.
Sailor Moon leapt from building to building, scanning the city for any signs of mischief. When she was about to call it a night, she heard a girl's voice cry out in fear.
She headed in the direction of the cry. Peering around the corner, she saw two men, one with a knife, going after a young girl. "Stop right there!"
"Look, fresh meat," the one man growled.
"It's a two for one tonight."
"Ecchi!" Moon exclaimed. "Now step away from her!"
"What are you going to do to us if we don't?"
"I fight for love and justice! Tsukini kawatte oshikoyo!" The men were eyeing the Senshi so closely that they didn't realize the other girl had disappeared.
"You know, wearing that short of a skirt is like a free pass for us."
Sailor Moon gulped and inched back a step. She fumbled for her tiara, but since the girl was shaking so much, it fell from her hands. "What's the matter, onna?"
"Are we scary?" The men sneered at her.
"Scary? You?" Moon gasped out. "Of course not! I've seen scarier creatures than you!" *Can you sound a bit less nervous!* she chided herself.
One of the men noticed that the other girl had escaped. "Now look what you did," he growled at her. "You let our other toy run away.So now you have to pay."
She tried to leap away, but one of them grabbed her arm." "I don't think so." He brandished a knife.
