Author's Note:  Legal stuff, don't own 'em, wish I did…yadda yadda, yadda yadda.  You'll notice that I changed the title. Hope ya' don't mind... the first one just didn't seem to fit right. Anyways, here goes chapter 2. Enjoy! =)

Yoroiden Samurai Troopers

Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon

in…

Boys meet Girls

~*~Outside the Yagyuu Mansion~*~

After leaving Mia's study, Ryo rounded up the other troopers and headed out in search of the disturbance.
"What's thedeal, Ryo?" Cye asked, running along with the others through the forest behind Mia's estate.  "If there's any trouble, I don't want to leave the girls by themselves."
         "You mean you don't want to leave Mina by herself." Kento grinned.  "You know you've got a crush on her." 
         "You should talk," Cye glared at him, trying the hide the blush that was creeping up his face.  "I saw you and Lita in the kitchen.  I see her cooking isn't the only thing you like."
          "Cool it, you two." Rowen replied.  "We've got company."  No sooner had he spoken a dozen armored zombies rained down from the trees.  
        "Youjas!"  Sage explained.  "Looks like the Dynasty is back in action after all." 
         "Okay, guys," Ryo said, putting himself in a fighting position.  "Let's send'em packing."
          "To arms!"

~*~Meanwhile ~*~

          "So, looks like you've hooked up with one of those guys, too, Mina-chan." Amy replied. 
         "Hai," Mina blushed.  "Cye-kun is so nice.  He's the perfect gentleman . . . and he's cute, too."  (AN: Yes, admit it, we all know Cye is cute. But of course, Rowen is the cutest. ::Wufei jumps in:: Cuter than me?? )
        Serena giggled.  "I'm so happy for you guys!"
          Mia walked into the room carrying a tray of drinks.
          Darien noticed a worried look on her face. "Daijobu, Yagyu?"
          Mia blinked and forced a smile.  "Dajiobuka, Chiba." she answered.  The other slooked at Mia.  "I'm fine, really." She sat the drinks down on the table, thinking to herself, 'I hope Ryo and the others are okay.'

~*~Elsewhere ~*~
          "CHO RYUHA!" Cye's Super Wave Smash plowed through several youja soldiers, turning them to dust.
          "Nice move, Cye," Kento replied, grinning from ear to ear.  "Now let me show you how it's done."  He adjusted his bow and spun it over his head. "GAN TESSAI!" Iron Rock Crush ripped up the ground, scattering youjas to the winds.
          Ryo placed his katanas back in their sheaths on his back.  "I've got a bad feeling about this," he murmured.
          Rowen kept his bow drawn. "Those guys went down way too easily."
          "That's because they were merely a test." a voice replied.
          The troopers braced themselves and looked around to find the owner.
         "Who's there?" Ryo called out.
          Suddenly, a woman appeared out of thin air.  She had long, snow-white hair and was dressed in forest green.  Her brownish-red eyes flashed menacingly.
          "Greetings, Samurai Troopers." she smiled.
          "Whoare you?" Sage asked.  "And what do you want?"
          "My name is Argos." she replied.  "I am after the Ginzuishou.  I sent the youjas here to retrieve it from you." 
         "So sorry to waste your time," Rowen snarled. "But we don't have anything belonging to you."  He drew an arrow on his bow. "SHIN KU HA!"
          Argos smiled.  "How quaint." She lifted a gloved hand, turning Rowen's Vacuum Wave back at him and the others. 
         "Guys,watch it!" Ryo cautioned as he and the others dodged the attack.  "She's tougher than she looks."
          "My, my, my," Argos grinned.  "You say the nicest things.  Let's say we get started, ne?"  With that she charged towards the troopers at full speed.

~*~Back at the Mansion ~*~

          "Bunny, you porker!  Stop hogging all the muffins!" Raye exclaimed.
          "I can't help it if they're good!" Serena explained, shoving another into her mouth.   
       Mia smiled.  "You've got an appetite as big as Kento-kun's, Serena." she said.
          "Yup,that's our Bunny." Mina grinned.  The others giggled.
          Serena ignored them and glanced over at Mia, who still looked worried.  "Are you sure you're all right?" she asked. 
         "Ofcourse," Mia answered.  "I just worry when the guys stay out late."
          "Well, I suppose guys will be guys." Mina replied.
          "Not my Muffin." Serena cooed, snuggling up against him.
         Mia did her best to smile and decided to change the subject.  "So, Lita, Mina," she replied.  "I hear you two have managed to hook up with Kento and Cye."  She smiled as both girls turned bright red.  She was about to comment when a spark flew through her mind.  In her mind's eye, she could see Ryo crying out in pain.  "No!!" she dropped her cup, spilling its contents.  She shot up from her seat and ran out of the room.
          Darien stood up.  "Mia!"
          Serenastood up as well.  "Mia-san, matte!"
          Raye gasped.  
        Amyglanced at her.  "Daijobu, Raye-chan?"she asked.
          The fire priestess looked around cautiously. "I sense a great evil nearby."
          "Oh no . . ." said Mina.
          "Mia may be in danger, minna!" Lita replied.
          "Hai!" Serena pulled out her compact.  "Minna, henshin yo!  Crisis Make Up!"
          "Mercury Crystal Power, Make up!"
          "Mars Crystal Power, Make up!"
          "Jupiter Crystal Power, Make up!"
          "Venus Crystal Power, Make up!"

~*~Meanwhile ~*~

          Mia didn't stop running, even when her body demanded her to.  Only when she tripped and stumbled over a fallen branch did she stop to catch her breath.  That's when she found the boys.
          Korin, Tenku, Kongo, and Suiko all lay in different places unconscious, or in too much pain to move. 
         The vice that gripped Mia's heart at the sight of her injured friends tightened when she saw Ryo.  Missing his helmet, he was being held in the air by an unseen force, gasping and cringing as dark energy surged through his body.
          "Ryo!"she called out to him.
          "Mia. . ." he said rasped.  "Don't come any closer!"
          "No, Ryo!" Mia got back on her feet and ran towards him only to collide with something that hurled her backwards towards the ground.
          "Mia!" Ryo struggled to get free, only resulting in causing more pain to himself. 
         Mia regained her bearings and stood up.  She walked a few paces, holding her hands up. After she had walked 15 paces or so, a quick jolt of energy caused to pull her hand back.  "An invisible forcefield . . ." she mused.
          "Clever girl." Mia looked up to see a woman clad in armor with her hands around Ryo's neck.
          "Who are you?" Mia asked.
          "I was just going to ask you the same question." she grinned.  "I am Argos, dark mistress of the 3rd Region of the Nether Realm."
          "Whatdo you want?" Mia asked.  "Onegai . . .let them go!"
          "I'm not leaving here until I get what I want." Argos snapped.  "But since he doesn't have it," she dropped Ryo unceremoniously to the ground.
Mia gasped as Ryo fell.  "Oh, Ryo!" She started to run towards him, but was cut off by Argos.
          "Mia, run away!" Ryo cried out.  "Just run away!  Now!"
          Mia started to back away only to find herself surrounded by youjas.
          Argos appeared above her.  "Hmm . . . he sure is eager to get you away from here." she said. "Perhaps you have what I am looking for."
          "I don't know what you're talking about." Mia said, trying to hide her fear.
          "Of course!" Argos exclaimed.  "The Crystal of the white moon kingdom can only be wielded by a woman with a pure heart!"
          "She must mean the Ginzuishou," Mia thought aloud.
          "So you do know of it." Argos asked.  "Tell me, where is it?"
          "I don't know." Mia answered.  "And even if I did, I would never tell a witch like you!"
          Argos frowned.  "A witch like me, ne?" With asnap of her fingers, dark energy surged through Mia, causing her to scream in pain.
          Ryo'seyes went wide with horror.  "Mia, no!" He tried in vain to get up, but his body just would not obey his commands.  "MIA!"
          "Just tell me what I want to know and you can go free." Argos grinned, continuing her assault.
          "She doesn't have to tell you anything, you tramp!"
          Argos looked around.  "Who said that?" she asked, diverting her attention from the now unconscious Mia.
          The other troopers were starting to come to.
          In the distance, six silhouettes could be seen.
          "It was me!" a voice said.  "Champion of love and justice! The pretty soldier, Sailor Moon.  You won't be forgiven for your cruel acts." Five of the figures struck poses.  "Tsukini kawatte,oshiokyo!"


End of Chapter 3

Author's Notes:

Miss Chang Po: Hoi, minna! Me again!

Wufei: ::who is tied and gagged in a corner, struggles to get free::

Miss Chang Po: Oh, and Wufei, too. I really hope you guys are liking my fic so far!
It looks like I really don't have much to say this time... do you, Wu-chan?

Wufei: ::makes a weird strangled sound and continues to try and get loose::

Miss Chang Po: Hmm.. Funny, it doesn't look like Wu-chan has much to say either. Guess we'll just leave it at that then. See you guys in chapter 4!
