The Hunter Becomes The Hunted – Part Two
Diana ran as fast as her legs could carry her, and she reached the Hikawa Jinja in a quarter of an hour, leaving Chibi-Usa back outside the Ginza JCB, with a Russian Mafia inside robbing the bank clean.
"Mama, Small Lady has seen Murchinov. Outside the Osaka memorial."
"What!? Again?" asked Luna.
"Yeah. She was inside a phone box making a phone call when I last left her."
"What's this about, Luna?" interrupted Usagi.
"Murchinov. He's at the Osaka memorial, where Chibi-Usa is making a phone call....."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
Rei then interrupted. "No offence or anything, Odango, but she was getting to it!" Then she remembered last night. "Oh, I forgot – you're wasted!"
Luna cleared her throat. "Diana, who was she going to call?"
"Some person by the name of Sakurada," Diana replied.
"She's getting a hold of Mina," Ami added. "Remember – she's working for Natsuna Sakurada, who happens to be the Superintendent-General."
"Yeah; and 500 yen says that if we go to the bank, there's going to be SWAT guys covering the place," Makoto noted. "But I think that we'd better go and help Chibi-Usa out."
"Diana, go back to Chibi-Usa and tell her that we're coming," asked Usagi.
Meanwhile, back at the phone box......
"Tell me what's going on."
"Murchinov's inside, robbing the place clean. I just hope that Mama comes along soon."
"Don't worry. If I know your mother, she'll be there."
Chibi-Usa chuckled a small bit, but then went back to her worried state, patiently waiting for her mother to come along. "Wait a minute.... I see someone who looks extremely familiar to me in there, and he's working for Murchinov." She noticed a person in a black suit, a tuxedo to be exact, wearing a pair of white glasses. "That cannot be....... Tuxedo Kamen? Why would he do such a thing? Sakurada-san, you have to get a SWAT team down here once Diana comes back with the message."
"Don't worry, Chibi-Usa, we're getting one ready as we speak. Once your cat comes back with the message, give me the word, and we'll have that SWAT team down here as soon as possible."
Back at the Hikawa Jinja.....
"I'm coming, Chibi-Usa," thought Usagi. "Don't worry about a thing."
"Usagi, put the plans in your bag," asked Ami. "Once we're down there, and if Mako-chan's right about the SWAT team being there, we'll work out our plan of attack."
"Could someone tell me where the hell Aino-san is?" asked Luna.
"I think that she's still at the office," replied Makoto.
"Right. Get on the phone to Natsuna Sakurada, and tell her to get Mina in that SWAT van. Transformed."
On the other side of Shibakoen Park, Diana had just came back to Chibi-Usa, delivering the message.
"Your mother will be on her way shortly, Your Highness."
"Thank you, Diana." She turned back to the phone. "Natsuna, get that SWAT van down here now!"
"You heard her, Wakagi! JCB, Ginza district, about a kilometre from Shibakoen Park." After hearing Natsuna pass the order down to Wakagi, Chibi-Usa soon afterwards hung up.
On the other end of the line, at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police office..
"Moshi Moshi?"
"Natsuna, it's Kino Makoto. I want you to have Mina in that SWAT van."
"How the hell did you know that we were going to send a SWAT van there?"
"Look, I have my reasons, Natsuna. Just get Mina to transform into Sailor Venus and tell her to get in that SWAT van."
"Got it, Kino-san." Natsuna hung up the phone, and headed into the hall, delivering the message to Minako.
"Minako, Kino-san just called. She wants you to get your transformed backside on that SWAT van heading down to that JCB in the Ginza district."
"Let me guess – Murchinov's back."
"Yeah, and the person who considers you a mentor, well, her daughter actually, is down there, in a phone box. Her cat's gone back to the Hikawa Jinja, and got the rest of the Senshi. They'll meet you down there."
"Okay. Venus Crystal Power, Make Up!"
It's coming. Trust me, the ass whoopin' is a comin'.
Now I realise that when I posted the last chapter, I received a flame. Unfortunately, I wiped it. But that doesn't mean that I don't respect your opinions. I may not like your opinion, but I respect it. So, tell me what you think, whether it be praise or flame – just tell me!
Yours Sincerely,
