Somewhere in Juuban, a young shrine maiden in a middle of a very intense
fire reading. Whatever it was, it got her scared stiff, because she sees
herself and her friends dead. She sees other people dead, and also sees
monsters with unimaginable power. And on top of those visions, she sees a
young man and a woman. The boy had brown hair and blue eyes, and the woman
who had a face like his, with shoulder length blond hair split somewhere in
the middle. Their images join and a new boy emerged. This time, it looked
like the other boy but had the woman's hair color. And the new boy had red,
scary eyes.
"What is the meaning of this?" Rei asked to herself as the fire in front of her still went strong.
At the same time, an airplane from LA came to a landing and a young man with short brown hair was being shaken by another woman with blonde hair.
"Wake up, JP," the woman said gently. "We are here."
"Oh," JP replied. "Alright, I'm awake mom..."
"Come on. Time to meet your uncle Maeda..."
-Omega X Presents-
-Parasite Moon-
-Chapter 2: JP, Welcome to Juuban!-
In Japan International Airport, JP was greeted by the warm and sunny feeling of summer. Although this was normal in LA, in the air was something that JP could not feel normally when he was in LA. It must be because in LA, his assistance to his mom made him forget to enjoy the environment. He walked with his mom towards the terminal, and everything they loaded they took care of.
(Japan,) JP thought. (A very nice place...)
"Now, remember that we have to speak in Japanese..." Aya said to her son in Japanese.
"Of course I remember," JP retorted jokingly. "How else do I get to meet girls if I speak in English? How will they understand me?"
"Oh my manly son," Aya continued the joke. "Go forth and multiply!!"
By this time, everyone was staring at them.
"Sorry," Aya said, smiling. "Kinda carried away!"
JP sniggered. "Anyway, are you sure you called uncle Maeda?"
"Of course. I haven't seen him in a long time, but he already agreed to stay at his place while we were here. Oh, here he comes now!"
The man who approached them certainly looked like Kunihiko Maeda, except that he didn't have his glasses on. JP recognized him because of the pictures Aya kept during her days as an NYPD.
"Hey, JP," Maeda greeted, walking towards them, "last time I saw you, you were still a baby. You definitely look like what you're mother described you to be!"
"I wonder what she said, Uncle Maeda," JP replied, smiling. "Did she say I am dashing, handsome rouge that always can be seen surrounded by amorous females?"
Maeda scratched his head. "No, she just said you usually spend time with your sister Eve... and nothing about the handsome rouge parts."
JP put a mock groan. "Then, please don't believe what she ever said about me..."
"Oh?" Maeda asked, smiling very widely. "She also said you were a practical joker ever since you were three years old. Aya mentioned you took Eve's panties and put them in the shredder..."
JP smiled. "That, you should believe!" and they all laughed.
Maeda offered his help with the luggage, but he was quite surprised to see that JP had a small luggage and a backpack. Aya, on the other hand, had a smaller luggage and nothing else.
"Trouble with customs?" Maeda asked.
JP shrugged. "Not much, although they did try to stop me when they saw I was hiding a 'Hustler' at my backpack."
Maeda looked at JP with a bit mix of shock and curiosity. "Is he...?"
Aya answered before Maeda could finish. "Yes, he's joking. If I caught my young man with such illiterate material, I shall personally ask Eve to show him what the magazines don't usually show."
"Gee, mom," JP answered. "Is that a punishment?"
"You bet, especially when you find out how much the people in the magazine pay each year for girls to bare themselves."
JP shivered. "Alright... I got the picture." And they both laughed. Maeda, to stop confusions, accompanied them to his car. A Honda.
"Japanese cars are quite beauties..." Maeda said. "They don't brake down easily."
Because of the luggage, or lack thereof, they were able to leave quickly and comfortably. Mostly, the talk was more about Japan.
"I live in Juuban district. It's quite interesting there," Maeda said. "You can hear news about Demons attacking the place, and they are being beaten by the Sailor Senshi."
"The who?" both gaijin's asked.
"Sailor Senshi. They call themselves the Pretty Soldiers of Love and Justice. They were winning of course," Maeda continued. "They won battles and a lot of property damage was done, but so what? They defended the city all the time. But ever since a few months ago, they never showed up."
"Why?" Aya asked.
"Simple. No more demons. Not one, except..." and he became quiet. "Do you know why you were sent here?"
"Of course," JP answered, all serious now. "Dad disappeared here, right? In the middle of investigating the rumors that there is a base of NMCs and ANMCs here. That was bad news."
Aya raised her eyebrows to Maeda. "Tell me, do you know why we went here? I mean, before JP explained, did you know?"
"Of course I did," Maeda said. "How could I not know. You're government already made a mistake in Mojave, and they already denied that there was another base here. They were in fact telling the truth, but who knows?"
"So the Japanese government is suspecting us?" Aya asked.
"Kinda," came Maeda's reply. "All I know so far is that after the Manhattan incident, the Japanese government was keen to form more experiments on mitochondria. Imagine, so much power..." and Maeda sighed. "I've been kept at bay but I know that experiments are being done. Madigan-san was right on the target, but now, he disappeared."
"We'll find him..." Aya began.
"I hope so. Did you know I was his contact?" Maeda asked.
"No. All I knew is that he was in Japan," Aya replied.
"Well, as long as word don't get out, we are all safe..." Maeda said. "No one knows why you are here, except me. Ah, here is my home..."
And a home it was. It was a traditional Japanese house. One floor, wide space, a garden around them, and a koi pond. Beside the house was a garage.
"Damn, uncle Maeda," JP began. "How much do the pharmaceutical pay you?"
"Oh, this?" Maeda asked the kid. "It's just a bonus when you risk your life to research. I got all this after your mom cleared the first Mitochondrion Eve in Manhattan."
The gates were open already, but the garage gate had to be opened by a remote control. Once the gates opened, JP's eyes were caught in a beauty he never laid eyes on before. He heard about her of course, but he never knew Maeda would own such a beauty.
Once the car was able to park and the three figures went out of the car, JP had to ask him.
"Uncle Maeda, is that what I think it is?" JP asked, pointing at the dirt bike which caught his eye.
"Yup," Maeda answered with pride. "It's a Yamaha XT350. I got it from my cousin. He races these beauties every year in the country. This is one of the models he rode."
JP, with one knee on the ground, and put his hand on the upper part and checked it's body. It was white in front, with a silver XT in it's side and the seats were color blue, his favorite color. Before anyone could say anything, JP jumped on the seat and started the motor.
The sound of it amazed JP. It had less power when the airbox was closed, but when he opened it, he revved up the engine and immediately saw an improvement of power. He revved up the engine again and turned it off. He smiled at Maeda as he got off the bike.
"What do you think?" Maeda asked, with a touch of nervousness on his voice.
"Nice power once the airbox is opened. The suspensions are a bit soft though, so you have to avoid tremendous shocks or else the frame might fall apart," JP answered, and thought more about it. "6 speed transmissions, top speed I assume, is about 85 or more mph, excellent for roads. I even heard it was bulletproof."
Maeda turned to Aya. "You weren't joking when you said that JP knew his stuff."
Aya shrugged. "Told you."
"Hey, uncle Maeda," JP said, turning to the Japanese man, "can I take this baby for a ride?"
"Sure," Maeda replied. "I asked my cousin to lend it just for you. Remember, though, damages shall be taken to account."
"Don't worry," Aya said, waving her hand. "We've brought enough cash here. Courtesy of the FBI. The two days they gave us to pack was not very constructive."
"So, Aya, you and your son will need weaponry, or you guys brought it?" Maeda asked.
JP shrugged and carried his luggage. "Come on, uncle Maeda, we'll show you."
The three figures went inside the house to the living room, where JP put his luggage on the floor, his backpack on the table. Opening the zipper, out came a radio component complete with tape player and CD and radio. It looked like a straight cylinder and each end had the speakers.
JP pressed a pause button on Tape Deck A and pressed forward and rewind at the same time on Tape Deck B and the left speaker end of the cylinder- shaped component moved a bit towards the end with a pop. JP unscrewed the end and when it opened, there were four black boxes. Two were identically big, and the other were smaller ones.
JP carefully pressed a button in the side of the four boxes and the boxes slid open with visible carbon dioxide spreading down. The boxes revealed two of them with a silver revolver and the other two smaller boxes contained a well arranged number of bullets.
Aya did the same, although hers were simpler. She just took her luggage and opened it to reveal a black box and then, two guns.
"How did you get that to pass in customs?" Maeda asked.
"My sexual appeal..." Aya said quickly.
"Nah," JP interjected. "The guns are not metallic. They are ceramic."
Aya pouted. "Ah, you're no fun."
"Well, JP," Maeda said, looking at the young kid. "Why don't you take the tour around? I'm sure you'll find Juuban interesting."
JP smiled. "Sure." And he proceeded to the garage.
"Wear a helmet, will you dear?" Aya asked.
"Sure," JP answered. "And can you tell me what I missed? Thanks mom..."
And JP vanished.
Aya sighed. "You know, he's all I have..."
"A miracle, if you ask me..." Maeda replied.
"How was I supposed to know that the side-effects of my mitochondria were not only genetic but also made me almost barren..." Aya said, looking at Maeda. "You should have told me."
"I didn't get much time to study your blood. I was busy trying to find a weapon which can help you kill Eve," Maeda said, scratching his head nervously. "Does he have your revolutionized mitochondria as well?"
"Yes..." Aya replied. "He accidentally burnt Eve's underwear when he was about 4 years old. The FBI thought it would be nice for me to have a partner which was like me. They trained him really good, and he really enjoys his life."
"Does he ever use his powers now?" Maeda asked.
"Yup. He uses his weaker ones from time to time," Aya replied. "I think he's hiding his more powerful ones as not to injure innocent people."
Maeda just nodded.
=Garage=
JP looked at his watch. Afternoon; he had plenty of time to waste for a tour. Spotting the helmet in one of the handles in the bike, he put it on. It fit perfectly in and the there was a tinted glass which covered his eyes. Perfect against glare.
Riding over his Yamaha XT350, he kicked the pedal and started the engine, and closed the airbox. He didn't need it since he was not in a race.
The garage doors opened at once and JP looked at his back. Aya and Maeda were standing there looking at him.
"JP, you can park that at the garden until I can install a remote control for the gate," Maeda shouted over the noise. JP just nodded.
"Careful, JP," Aya shouted. JP gave her a thumb's up and roared out of there.
The feeling was wonderful. The way the wind passed through his body, the way his jacket was flapping behind him; it was really a shame that he was wearing his helmet. He followed traffic rules to the letter. He didn't want any trouble with the authorities here... well, maybe except those two really pretty female officers he met. They were riding a mini-Honda and behind them, JP recognized as a foldable bike. One of the officers had a bit of a long, bit curly black hair. The other one had short red hair which didn't even reach the shoulders. He took a look at them with his helmet and they looked back. The one with short hair was pointing at his bike excitedly.
(She must be a bike fan...) JP thought and the light turned green. He was going to accelerate when he saw that the two officers were talking towards the radio. JP looked at them, and their sirens came to life. He could read their lips a bit and he read 'Trouble'.
They sped towards the corner, making a sharp left, and JP was impressed. The Honda was no slouch. Deciding against all logic, he followed the two officers. After all, they might need help.
JP spent the next few minutes following them, careful not to go to far from them, and not to near. When they arrived at their destination, JP was given a shock of his life.
The cars opened and the two officers came out. JP stopped far behind them, but not far enough to hear the officers.
"Damn, Miyuki..." the woman with the short hair said to her partner. "Monsters again. Looks like the Sailor Senshi has reappeared and are fighting . Shall we help?"
"No, Natsumi," the woman named Miyuki replied. "We need to call back up."
"Ah, forget it," the woman Natsumi said. "Come on!" and she ran foolishly towards the monster. Suddenly, her hand got caught in fire.
"AAAGH!"
"Natsumi! Get back here!" Miyuki said. "Station, this is unit 5, request for back up in..."
The rest of the words weren't heard by JP as he dashed towards the fight. There was no doubt about it. NMCs are here.
He rushed towards the scene, full power now that he opened his airbox and rushed past the two officers who were telling him to stop. He didn't. Taking his gun out which he he hid in his jacket, he carefully put it in the pocket of his pants for easy draw.
Five girls were fighting a horde of NMCs. Each had different hair colors, different eye colors, and different skirt colors. The last one got JP's attention for a second; I mean, who could not notice? They were so short.
JP shook himself mentally. He needed to get his work done. He assessed his situation.
(Four fatties, 6 strangers, and whoa... two chasers...) he thought, looking at the horse like NMCs with large necks and human-like heads which chase and head butt the victims. Powerful ones. And it was chasing the one with short blue hair with aqua blue skirt.
No time to think, no time to breath as instinct took over as JP raced his bike towards the chaser NMC. He drew his gun in a flash and shot the chaser exactly in the back; it's weak spot. The chaser stopped and fell down with a groan. He stopped a few inches from the girl with blue hair and looked at the NMC and shot it cleanly in the head.
With a muffled voice, Sailor Mercury heard the voice of her savior. "Take better care." And he proceeded to the others.
Sailor Mars saw the guy and became immediately suspicious. He took down one youma with two moves and she watched him more closely.
JP sped towards the girls with orange and green shirt since they were surrounded by a few Stranger NMCs and when the moment was right, he put the brakes on for the front wheel, lifting the bike's behind and wheel. Using circular momentum, he rushed it towards two Strangers and knocked them on the floor. It got not only the attention of the girls, but also the attention of the other Strangers.
"Get behind me," JP said in a muffled voice to the girls. It was either shock or trust, but they went behind them immediately.
JP, seeing the two knocked down Strangers were standing up and were grouping in front of him.
(Bad mistake) JP thought as he concentrated and felt the mitochondria of his enemies. (Let's he how you like this.) and he raised his hand up.
The strangers suddenly felt hot around them, their blood pumping more faster as their heart rate grew faster, and then, they felt hell as they suddenly burst to flames as they screamed in agony and finally went down on the ground.
Ignoring his feeling of thirst, he accelerated in his bike towards a girl with long blonde hair and two balls. She had a short blue skirt and she was trying to get away from two fatties.
He concentrated on his own mitochondria in his hand and let them fall on his gun. Using a simple method of energy, he created an electro-magnetic field around his gun and bullets. The mitochondria changed shape of the bullets [even if JP and the others couldn't see it] and increased the total Kinetic Energy around the gun. When he fired, the fatties didn't know what hit them.
The force of the bullets became 3 times stronger and their speed, 5 times faster as JP shot the fatties directly at a range of 120 meters, well far away from the normal range of his gun.
The fatties were shot directly in the head and in their heart, stopping circulations and letting them die. JP smiled inside his helmet as he noticed that none of the girls were hurt. They did flock into him though, forming a circle when he shot the last fattie dead.
"Who are you?" asked the girl with long blonde hair and orange skirt.
JP looked at them, and asked: "Who are you?"
The girl with blue skirt and meatballs did a pose.
"We are the Soldiers of Justice! We are the Sailor Senshi!"
(how did she ran here so fast?) "Oh, hi. So you are the Sailor Senshi I heard so much about. Glad to meet ya!" and suddenly, his gun went straight to Sailor Mars and fired. A thump was heard and Mars stood there, shaking.
"Sorry 'bout that..." JP said, looking at the leggy Senshi. "You had a chaser behind you."
Everyone looked behind Mars and they saw the horse like youma down with a bullet in it's head.
"Get out," JP said, aiming at the creatures body. "Heart still beating." And he shot it.
With a last groan, the monster limped and began to melt. The Sailor Senshi noticed the other monsters as well who were killed either disappeared, or turned to glop.
"Well, nice meeting you," JP said, revving his bike. "Maybe we'll meet again. I'm JP Brea. See ya!" and he sped away, leaving seven females, five of them were the Sailor Senshi, two were police officers, and all of them were confused.
"Who was he?" Venus asked.
"Well, he definitely looked like my last Sempai," Jupiter replied.
"Hmph," Venus grunted. "He wore a helmet, tinted. How did you see his face?"
"You didn't?" Jupiter asked. "Oh, goodness, he had..." and she proceeded to describe the boy saying that he had the cutest eyes he ever met, black hair, and a scar in his cheek. Every one who knew Jupiter knew she was lying.
Mercury was just as curious about the boy as others. Her Mercury computer detected no magic in his attacks, just big spurts of energy.
Mars looked at the place where the boy disappeared with an unreadable expression, which was weird for Rei, if anyone knew her.
"The silences was broken by Usagi. "I'm hungry..."
If the Sailor Senshi could face fault in their fukus, now would be the time, but the noise approaching them gave them so focus.
"Oh no," Ami said. "Sirens. We need to go."
"Got it." said the rest and they all jumped in the air, vanishing.
Natsumi and Miyuki were left, very confused.
=Maeda's residence=
Entering with his bike, JP made a neat park in the tree and turned of the engine, closing the airbox.
(What a rush...) JP thought, looking at his bike. As expected, he made a few dents as he hit the two strangers.
"JP!" Aya greeted. "How was it? The trip I mean? What the...? You got blood!"
"Not mine," assured JP. "NMCs."
Aya froze. "Do tell."
JP proceeded the day, retelling his experience to his mom and Maeda.
To Be Continued...
/--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------\
NEXT: JP meets four of the Sailor Senshi in school! They know who he is, but he doesn't know who they are! Next!
\--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------/
"What is the meaning of this?" Rei asked to herself as the fire in front of her still went strong.
At the same time, an airplane from LA came to a landing and a young man with short brown hair was being shaken by another woman with blonde hair.
"Wake up, JP," the woman said gently. "We are here."
"Oh," JP replied. "Alright, I'm awake mom..."
"Come on. Time to meet your uncle Maeda..."

"Now, remember that we have to speak in Japanese..." Aya said to her son in Japanese.
"Of course I remember," JP retorted jokingly. "How else do I get to meet girls if I speak in English? How will they understand me?"
"Oh my manly son," Aya continued the joke. "Go forth and multiply!!"
By this time, everyone was staring at them.
"Sorry," Aya said, smiling. "Kinda carried away!"
JP sniggered. "Anyway, are you sure you called uncle Maeda?"
"Of course. I haven't seen him in a long time, but he already agreed to stay at his place while we were here. Oh, here he comes now!"

"Trouble with customs?" Maeda asked.
JP shrugged. "Not much, although they did try to stop me when they saw I was hiding a 'Hustler' at my backpack."
Maeda looked at JP with a bit mix of shock and curiosity. "Is he...?"
Aya answered before Maeda could finish. "Yes, he's joking. If I caught my young man with such illiterate material, I shall personally ask Eve to show him what the magazines don't usually show."

"Japanese cars are quite beauties..." Maeda said. "They don't brake down easily."
Because of the luggage, or lack thereof, they were able to leave quickly and comfortably. Mostly, the talk was more about Japan.
"I live in Juuban district. It's quite interesting there," Maeda said. "You can hear news about Demons attacking the place, and they are being beaten by the Sailor Senshi."
"The who?" both gaijin's asked.
"Sailor Senshi. They call themselves the Pretty Soldiers of Love and Justice. They were winning of course," Maeda continued. "They won battles and a lot of property damage was done, but so what? They defended the city all the time. But ever since a few months ago, they never showed up."
"Why?" Aya asked.
"Simple. No more demons. Not one, except..." and he became quiet. "Do you know why you were sent here?"
"Of course," JP answered, all serious now. "Dad disappeared here, right? In the middle of investigating the rumors that there is a base of NMCs and ANMCs here. That was bad news."
Aya raised her eyebrows to Maeda. "Tell me, do you know why we went here? I mean, before JP explained, did you know?"

"Well, as long as word don't get out, we are all safe..." Maeda said. "No one knows why you are here, except me. Ah, here is my home..."
And a home it was. It was a traditional Japanese house. One floor, wide space, a garden around them, and a koi pond. Beside the house was a garage.
"Damn, uncle Maeda," JP began. "How much do the pharmaceutical pay you?"
"Oh, this?" Maeda asked the kid. "It's just a bonus when you risk your life to research. I got all this after your mom cleared the first Mitochondrion Eve in Manhattan."
The gates were open already, but the garage gate had to be opened by a remote control. Once the gates opened, JP's eyes were caught in a beauty he never laid eyes on before. He heard about her of course, but he never knew Maeda would own such a beauty.
Once the car was able to park and the three figures went out of the car, JP had to ask him.
"Uncle Maeda, is that what I think it is?" JP asked, pointing at the dirt bike which caught his eye.
"Yup," Maeda answered with pride. "It's a Yamaha XT350. I got it from my cousin. He races these beauties every year in the country. This is one of the models he rode."
JP, with one knee on the ground, and put his hand on the upper part and checked it's body. It was white in front, with a silver XT in it's side and the seats were color blue, his favorite color. Before anyone could say anything, JP jumped on the seat and started the motor.

"6 speed transmissions, top speed I assume, is about 85 or more mph, excellent for roads. I even heard it was bulletproof."
Maeda turned to Aya. "You weren't joking when you said that JP knew his stuff."
Aya shrugged. "Told you."
"Hey, uncle Maeda," JP said, turning to the Japanese man, "can I take this baby for a ride?"
"Sure," Maeda replied. "I asked my cousin to lend it just for you. Remember, though, damages shall be taken to account."
"Don't worry," Aya said, waving her hand. "We've brought enough cash here. Courtesy of the FBI. The two days they gave us to pack was not very constructive."
"So, Aya, you and your son will need weaponry, or you guys brought it?" Maeda asked.
JP shrugged and carried his luggage. "Come on, uncle Maeda, we'll show you."
The three figures went inside the house to the living room, where JP put his luggage on the floor, his backpack on the table. Opening the zipper, out came a radio component complete with tape player and CD and radio. It looked like a straight cylinder and each end had the speakers.
JP pressed a pause button on Tape Deck A and pressed forward and rewind at the same time on Tape Deck B and the left speaker end of the cylinder- shaped component moved a bit towards the end with a pop. JP unscrewed the end and when it opened, there were four black boxes. Two were identically big, and the other were smaller ones.

JP smiled. "Sure." And he proceeded to the garage.
"Wear a helmet, will you dear?" Aya asked.
"Sure," JP answered. "And can you tell me what I missed? Thanks mom..."
And JP vanished.
Aya sighed. "You know, he's all I have..."
"A miracle, if you ask me..." Maeda replied.

They sped towards the corner, making a sharp left, and JP was impressed. The Honda was no slouch. Deciding against all logic, he followed the two officers. After all, they might need help.
JP spent the next few minutes following them, careful not to go to far from them, and not to near. When they arrived at their destination, JP was given a shock of his life.
The cars opened and the two officers came out. JP stopped far behind them, but not far enough to hear the officers.
"Damn, Miyuki..." the woman with the short hair said to her partner. "Monsters again. Looks like the Sailor Senshi has reappeared and are fighting . Shall we help?"
"No, Natsumi," the woman named Miyuki replied. "We need to call back up."
"Ah, forget it," the woman Natsumi said. "Come on!" and she ran foolishly towards the monster. Suddenly, her hand got caught in fire.
"AAAGH!"
"Natsumi! Get back here!" Miyuki said. "Station, this is unit 5, request for back up in..."
The rest of the words weren't heard by JP as he dashed towards the fight. There was no doubt about it. NMCs are here.
He rushed towards the scene, full power now that he opened his airbox and rushed past the two officers who were telling him to stop. He didn't. Taking his gun out which he he hid in his jacket, he carefully put it in the pocket of his pants for easy draw.
Five girls were fighting a horde of NMCs. Each had different hair colors, different eye colors, and different skirt colors. The last one got JP's attention for a second; I mean, who could not notice? They were so short.
JP shook himself mentally. He needed to get his work done. He assessed his situation.
(Four fatties, 6 strangers, and whoa... two chasers...) he thought, looking at the horse like NMCs with large necks and human-like heads which chase and head butt the victims. Powerful ones. And it was chasing the one with short blue hair with aqua blue skirt.
No time to think, no time to breath as instinct took over as JP raced his bike towards the chaser NMC. He drew his gun in a flash and shot the chaser exactly in the back; it's weak spot. The chaser stopped and fell down with a groan. He stopped a few inches from the girl with blue hair and looked at the NMC and shot it cleanly in the head.
With a muffled voice, Sailor Mercury heard the voice of her savior. "Take better care." And he proceeded to the others.
Sailor Mars saw the guy and became immediately suspicious. He took down one youma with two moves and she watched him more closely.
JP sped towards the girls with orange and green shirt since they were surrounded by a few Stranger NMCs and when the moment was right, he put the brakes on for the front wheel, lifting the bike's behind and wheel. Using circular momentum, he rushed it towards two Strangers and knocked them on the floor. It got not only the attention of the girls, but also the attention of the other Strangers.
"Get behind me," JP said in a muffled voice to the girls. It was either shock or trust, but they went behind them immediately.
JP, seeing the two knocked down Strangers were standing up and were grouping in front of him.
(Bad mistake) JP thought as he concentrated and felt the mitochondria of his enemies. (Let's he how you like this.) and he raised his hand up.
The strangers suddenly felt hot around them, their blood pumping more faster as their heart rate grew faster, and then, they felt hell as they suddenly burst to flames as they screamed in agony and finally went down on the ground.
Ignoring his feeling of thirst, he accelerated in his bike towards a girl with long blonde hair and two balls. She had a short blue skirt and she was trying to get away from two fatties.
He concentrated on his own mitochondria in his hand and let them fall on his gun. Using a simple method of energy, he created an electro-magnetic field around his gun and bullets. The mitochondria changed shape of the bullets [even if JP and the others couldn't see it] and increased the total Kinetic Energy around the gun. When he fired, the fatties didn't know what hit them.
The force of the bullets became 3 times stronger and their speed, 5 times faster as JP shot the fatties directly at a range of 120 meters, well far away from the normal range of his gun.
The fatties were shot directly in the head and in their heart, stopping circulations and letting them die. JP smiled inside his helmet as he noticed that none of the girls were hurt. They did flock into him though, forming a circle when he shot the last fattie dead.
"Who are you?" asked the girl with long blonde hair and orange skirt.
JP looked at them, and asked: "Who are you?"
The girl with blue skirt and meatballs did a pose.
"We are the Soldiers of Justice! We are the Sailor Senshi!"
(how did she ran here so fast?) "Oh, hi. So you are the Sailor Senshi I heard so much about. Glad to meet ya!" and suddenly, his gun went straight to Sailor Mars and fired. A thump was heard and Mars stood there, shaking.
"Sorry 'bout that..." JP said, looking at the leggy Senshi. "You had a chaser behind you."
Everyone looked behind Mars and they saw the horse like youma down with a bullet in it's head.
"Get out," JP said, aiming at the creatures body. "Heart still beating." And he shot it.
With a last groan, the monster limped and began to melt. The Sailor Senshi noticed the other monsters as well who were killed either disappeared, or turned to glop.
"Well, nice meeting you," JP said, revving his bike. "Maybe we'll meet again. I'm JP Brea. See ya!" and he sped away, leaving seven females, five of them were the Sailor Senshi, two were police officers, and all of them were confused.
"Who was he?" Venus asked.
"Well, he definitely looked like my last Sempai," Jupiter replied.
"Hmph," Venus grunted. "He wore a helmet, tinted. How did you see his face?"
"You didn't?" Jupiter asked. "Oh, goodness, he had..." and she proceeded to describe the boy saying that he had the cutest eyes he ever met, black hair, and a scar in his cheek. Every one who knew Jupiter knew she was lying.
Mercury was just as curious about the boy as others. Her Mercury computer detected no magic in his attacks, just big spurts of energy.
Mars looked at the place where the boy disappeared with an unreadable expression, which was weird for Rei, if anyone knew her.
"The silences was broken by Usagi. "I'm hungry..."
If the Sailor Senshi could face fault in their fukus, now would be the time, but the noise approaching them gave them so focus.
"Oh no," Ami said. "Sirens. We need to go."
"Got it." said the rest and they all jumped in the air, vanishing.
Natsumi and Miyuki were left, very confused.
=Maeda's residence=
Entering with his bike, JP made a neat park in the tree and turned of the engine, closing the airbox.
(What a rush...) JP thought, looking at his bike. As expected, he made a few dents as he hit the two strangers.
"JP!" Aya greeted. "How was it? The trip I mean? What the...? You got blood!"
"Not mine," assured JP. "NMCs."
Aya froze. "Do tell."
JP proceeded the day, retelling his experience to his mom and Maeda.
