Bishoujo Senshi Sailororion
Episode Five: "Danger at the Zoo; Senshi to the Rescue!"
Sukui sighed deeply and looked out the window of the bus.
Her science class was on its way to the Sendai City Zoo for a field trip, since they had begun a segment on animal biology.
She took no notice of the loud, happy teens around her; her mind was elsewhere. She was thinking about the masked man named Orionknight. He had saved her life twice, but she had no idea who he was...
Orionknight... she thought, remembering his handsome features; his messy, sandy-colored hair, the kiss he had given her on the cheek...
But there was one thing she was curious about.
Why are you hiding your eyes behind that mask? Why don't you show me your face...
Her trail of thoughts was suddenly disrupted by Arashi's loud snoring; her head had slumped over onto Sukui's shoulders and she was drooling slightly.
Sukui sweatdropped.
"Arashiiii...." she hissed, pushing her stepsister off her shoulder.
"Who?? What?? Where??" Arashi mumbled as she rubbed her eyes and sat up.
"Welcome back, Sleeping Beauty..." Sukui said, rolling her eyes.
Arashi smiled.
"Somebody didn't get enough sweepy-weepy last night! Somebody's a wittle cwanky-wanky!" she teased, her pale green eyes bright and shining.
Sukui groaned in annoyance, but sighed.
"Yeah... I have a lot on my mind..." she said.
Arashi nodded.
"Ohhh!!! You mean mphgrrgmph!"
Arashi didn't have the chance to finish her loud statement when Sukui's hand flew to her mouth, covering it.
"Don't say it!" she hissed. "What's the point of a secret identity if you blab it to the entire class!?"
"Mmmhmm!" Arashi said, nodding; her voice muffled by Sukui's hand.
Sukui dropped her hand, sighed, and looked out the window as the bus took a left turn into the zoo.
Sukui stepped gingerly off the bus and grinned at Kyousou, who was in front of her.
Kyousou beamed back.
"I'm so physced that we got to go to the zoo! I hope we see tigers! They're my favorites! Especially White Siberians! They're totally gorgeous! Did you know that there are only about 200 of them left on Earth!? Or that they can weigh up to 570 pounds!? Or that--"
Sukui just smiled and nodded as Kyousou went on and on about her favorite animal; not even noticing when Arashi tripped and fell down the bus stairs before joining them.
A few minutes later, when the class had been organized, the zoo guide appeared to show them around; a megaphone in her hand.
Her nametag read, "Ohayo! My name's Miss Saru Shinku, and I'll be your guide for the day!" in large, happy letters.
"Konnichi wa and Ohayo, class! My name's Miss Saru, and I'll be your guide through the Tokyo Zoo today! What would you like to see first? The monkies, maybe?" Miss Saru said into the megaphone, making the group cringe. Her smile and pep was almost frightening.
The class yelled different things at once.
"The lions!!!"
"Sharks!"
"Snakes!!!"
"The Alligators!"
"WHITE SIBERIAN TIGERS!!!!!"
The last was from Kyousou...
Miss Saru nodded.
"The monkies it is, then! Follow me and stick with the group!" she said, cheerfully, into the megaphone.
The class cringed again, groaned, and the field trip began.
* * * * *
The five Dark Starz appeared in front of Diabolus; his other minions watching behind shadows.
"Well? Did you capture the soul crystal!?" he asked.
The Dark Starz shook their heads.
"No, my Lord," said Centaurus.
Diabolus clenched his fists angrily.
"Then which one of you incompetent idiots would like to tell me what happened!?!?!?!?" he boomed.
Simultaneously, Centaurus, Lyra, Columba and Serpens stepped back, leaving Vulpecula to explain.
Vulpecula scowled.
"I was given a defective target, my Lord," she began, shooting Lyra a nasty look.
"And I was just about to destroy the crystal, when Sailororion and her prettyboy knight showed up! They even defeated my youma, Kazan, after I left," she finished.
Diabolus was silent for a few moments.
"I feel as though I am giving you all too many chances. Nonetheless, you five are the best I've got. Choose another target! Dismissed!" he said finally.
"Thank you, my Lord!" the girls said, bowing deeply and returning to their portals.
Vulpecula let out a long sigh of relief as she leaned back into her chair in Lyra's lab.
"For a moment there, I was afraid that guy was gonna open up a can of whoop-ass on me!" she exclaimed, laughing.
Lyra blinked.
"Excuse me!? 'A can of whoop-ass'??? Where in the cosmos did you pick up such repulsive humanoid slang???" she asked, sweatdropping.
Before Vulpecula could answer, Serpens was looming over her.
She punched her fist and growled.
"If you could just capture a damn soul crystal, he wouldn't have to open up a can of whoop-ass on you!!!" yelled in frustration.
Vulpecula yawned.
"And you did any better?"
Serpens growled, but Centaurus stepped between them.
"Both of you shut up. Lyra, find us another target," she ordered.
Lyra nodded, and swiveled around in her chair to face her computer.
The group waited in silence for a minutes.
"EUREKA!!!" Lyra suddenly yelled out, catching the others by surprise. "What!?" they all asked.
Lyra grinned and pressed a button.
The printer sprang to life once more and out popped a piece of paper.
The icy-haired young woman snatched it up and showed it to the group.
"I give you... Doubutsu Aigyou! A janitor at the Tokyo City Zoo. He's been working as a janitor there for six years, and he dreams of working with the animals as a trainer," she explained.
Columba put her pointer finger to her lips and said cutely, "You're weird!"
Lyra snorted again, and pushed her falling glasses up her nose.
"I may be weird, but I'm a hell of a lot smarter than you!" she exclaimed.
Columba blushed.
"Yer a meanie-head too..."
Lyra rolled her eyes.
"Actually, I believe I shall be taking on this mission! If you want something done right, you must do it yourself!" she said, removing her lab coat and leaping into her portal of teal smoke.
Serpens grinned.
"Can't wait."
* * * * *
"... and the fascinating thing about chimps, is that they are so closely related to the us Homo sapiens. Like us, chimpanzees have opposable thumbs-- "
Sukui sighed heavily as "Miss Saru" rambled on and on about the chimpanzees.
She was, however, grateful that the chimps were the last species of monkey to be seen at the zoo.
Finally, Miss Saru led them away from the monkey area and on to the polar animals.
The class was relieved when they arrived at the penguin exhibit.
Arashi elbowed Sukui in the ribs, not realizing how much it had hurt.
"Aren't they so cute!?" she exclaimed.
Sukui nodded and rubbed the side of her ribs.
As the class settled down for ice cream near the penguin exhibit, a loud conversation caught Sukui, Kyousou, and Arashi's attention.
"Sir, I've worked for you for six years... and I think I deserve a small raise..." a man in his mid-thirties was saying. He was dressed in the zoo janitorial uniform.
A short, fat, man with a black mustache and oily black hair laughed.
"That's real funny, Doubutsu. You slay me!" he exclaimed.
He wore a lime-green, plaid, business suit, a black bowtie, and held a lit cigar in his right hand.
"Sir, I'm serious..." the janitor continued.
The man stopped laughing and narrowed his eyebrows.
"Look, Doubutsu. We here at the Sendai City Zoo have a little thing we like to call a 'budget'. With this budget, if I gave you a raise, the entire zoo would go bankrupt! You wouldn't want that, would ya?" he asked, nervously.
The man shook his head sadly.
"No Mr. Tsuyatsuya."
Mr. Tsuyatsuya grinned.
"Good! Ya know... that trash can need to emptied. See to it that it gets done, Doubutsu! And while yer at it, clean up that mess those bratty little kids left by the penguin exhibit!" he ordered, turning and leaving.
He spotted another janitor and yelled, "Hey! Ozomashii! How's about a raise?"
The man's face fell, and he looked as if he'd burst into tears at any second.
Kyousou sighed sadly.
"How mean..." Arashi mumbled.
Sukui, always the defiant one, stood up suddenly, and approached the janitor. Kyousou and Arashi gave each other startled looks and followed.
"Excuse me?" Sukui said politely.
"Hai?" the man replied sullenly.
"Well, we couldn't help but overhear your conversation, and... well... what he did... that wasn't fair..." Sukui said kindly.
The man smiled. "Thank you, miss, but I'm used to it. The man hates me..."
"Why would he hate you!?" Arashi burst out.
Mr. Doubutsu blushed.
"Ummm... you see... his daughter... is my wife, and he seems to think I'm... not good enough for her," he said. "So he makes sure I'm unable to provide for her in the hope that she'll leave me."
Kyousou narrowed her eyebrows.
"That jerk!" she exclaimed. Sukui and Arashi nodded in agreement.
Mr. Doubutsu sighed heavily and shook his head.
"Yes, well 'that jerk' is also my boss. If I'm ever going to get a promotion, I can't stand up to him... My dream is to work with the animals. Especially the tigers; their most fascinating!" he said. Kyousou grinned at this.
"You can too stand up to him!" Sukui suddenly broke in. "You can't let him walk all over you like that, Mr. Doubutsu! You've gotta stand up for yourself!" The young man sighed again, just as his pager went off. He glanced it and groaned.
"Sorry, ladies, but I have to see to some backed up toilets in the ladies' room..." he said sadly.
*****
Lyra, dressed in a trench coat and sunglasses, walked into the ladies restroom and smiled. There was her target.
Mr. Doubutsu looked up in surprise.
"I'm sorry ma'am, but this restroom is closed right now. There's an open one by the reptile exhibit," he said.
Lyra removed her sunglasses.
"But I don't to go to the restroom!" she smirked.
She ripped off her trench coat, revealing her pale blue uniform beneath.
Mr. Doubutsu dropped his plunger in surprise.
"What the-- AAAAAAGH!!!!"
Lyra faced her glove towards her victim, the claw reaching down Mr. Doubutsu' mouth and pulling out his soul crystal.
Lyra groaned in annoyance.
"Damnit! Its ice blue!" she said, irritated.
"No matter. I'll destroy it anyways..."
Meanwhile, Sukui and Arashi had heard Mr. Doubutsu's scream.
They nodded to each other knowingly, and ducked away from their classmates to henshin.
Lyra gasped, as the ladies' room door was suddenly kicked open.
"Stop right there!" commanded two sailor senshi.
"I am Sailororion, defender of justice! With Purity and Dreams on my side, you shall be vanquished!"
"And I am Sailordraco, protector of earth! My powers are shocking, mind you, so you'd better watch out!"
Lyra yawned.
"How cliché! I am Lyra, Dark Star of Ice! I say you chill out for a while!" she cackled.
"ICE DAGGERS!"
The sharp blades ripped through the air, charging towards the two senshi.
"EEEP!!!" Draco cried, as the blades narrowly missed her.
"That wasn't very nice!!!" she whined.
"Hmph! There's nothing for me to do with a defective soul crystal! I'm blowing this popsicle joint! SOULS INVERT! I call upon... youma FUBUKI!" Lyra yelled, as a youma appeared in place of Mr. Doubutsu's soul crystal.
Lyra and the senshi sweatdropped; Draco fell against the bathroom wall laughing.
There, standing in front of them, was a cheerful little penguin with a teal star on it's tummy; it was dancing about with a big goofy grin on it's face...
Lyra shook her head and pointed to the senshi.
"FUBUKI! Finish them off! NOW!" she yelled, as she backflipped into her smoky portal and disappeared.
"No way I'm fighting that cutie pie!" Draco laughed.
Orion stifled a giggle. "Lets just get this over with, Draco..." she said, smiling.
"Orion... Chaste... Beams... Bli--EEEEEE!!!!!!" Orion screamed as little Fubuki suddenly clamped its teeth into her arm.
"GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!!!!" she cried, shaking her arm up, down, right, and left; but Fubuki was latched on tight.
Draco gasped and fidgetted nervously.
What do I do!? What do I do!? her mind screamed. ATTACK YOU IDIOT!!!
"Draco... Dragon... Sphere... DETONATION!!!!" she cried, sending the orb of glowing electricity towards Fubuki.
"Fuuuuuuuu!!!" the penguin cried, as it was knocked off Sailororion's arm.
"Arigatou, Sailordraco!!!" Sailororion said, gratefully.
"Finish it off, Orion!" Draco yelled.
Orion nodded and whipped out her scepter.
"Orion Chaste Beams, Blind!!!"
Sukui, Arashi, and Kyousou grinned as they eavesdropped on the conversation between Mr. Doubutsu and Mr. Tsuyatsuya.
"Sir, I demand a promotion!"
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me! I've been working for you for six years, and if I don't get my well-deserved promotion, I'll quit! You don't really want to see your beautiful daughter living on the streets, do you?"
Mr. Tsuyatsuya loosened his bowtie and broke into a heavy sweat.
"Erm... not particularly. But your point has been made, Doubutsu. Come with me to my office and we'll work out the details!" he said nervously.
Mr. Doubutsu turned and winked at the girls as he left.
The three grinned back as Miss Saru and her megaphone dragged their class on to the next exhibit.
