JAL flight no. 318 landed perfectly at the airport in Sapporo. After checking out of the terminal, Usagi and Shingo with for a walk through town. They, also, kept a wary eye open for

any interrupting Senshi!

"I wish My guys would LEAVE well-enough alone this time!" Usagi sighed. "Demo.. that is too

much to ask.. even of the gods."

"Aneue?" Shingo asked. "Ar you sure we will find Carmen-Sama here, in Sapporo?"

"Hai!" Usagi answered. "I am sure! From the way she saluted me, when we were forced to leave Kyoto. I have seen that salute before! At Russian Embassy. Hai. Dano.. how she said sayonara.

"'Das.. vedanya'! Russian. Demo.. she said 'Hime'.. not the Russian title, 'Tsareyevna'! So..

she must be some that was BOTH Russian and Japanese!"

"Nani-YO?!?!" Shingo exclaimed in mock-shock, and felt his sister's head! "Ne! What did you do with my ANEUE! Speak up, now, YOUMA!!"

Usagi giggled and playfully shoved Shingo away. "GYAAH! Itouto-Baka, I am Usagi!! I am not that brain-dead anymore!! Ami-chan prove good-influence, hai!"

Shingo chuckled. "Aneue NEVER brain-dead! *Always* smart one! Always overshadowed by Lunar Protectors! First Luna.. then Senshi!"

As Usagi walked with Shingo in the coller air of Hokkaido, the younger, more-carefree Usagi seemed to emerge.

'If only everything could stay like this a little longer in Tokyo!'

"I hate to have to say this, Usagi," Shingo hesitated, "Demo.. I think I saw Minako-san and Makoto-san on our plane as we left Kyoto!"

"Hai." Usagi sighed. "I saw them, also. We will have Senshi, here, in short-time! Shingo?

For sake of Chibiusa and me.. help me keep Senshi from Carmen-Sama!"

"Even Haruka and Michiru!" Shingo saluted his sister.

"ESPECIALLY Haruka and Michiru!!"

Meanwhile, Makoto and Minako were, at that moment, just leaving the airport!

"Are you *sure* it was Usagi-San you saw?" Minako asked.

"Hai." Makoto said, standing stone-still and gritting her teeth. "For the thousandth-TIME,

Minako-chan! HAI! It.. was.. USAGI!! I cannot BELIEVE you are Captain of Innersenshi. Iie!

I cannot, also, believe we LOSE Usagi-san in airport! Iyaa!! We been through here- ten times!

Usagi is ONLY living woman I know with Lunarian-hairstyle! Easy to spot as beacon from LIGHTHOUSE! Dakara.. zamawomiro? We LOSE HER!! Iiede iiede iiede..."

"I cannot believe SHINGO-ITOUTO is with her!!" Minako raged, neglectful of Makoto's hyperventilating. "I would NEVER have thought Usagi would tell itouto her secret! She was

NEVER to tell!"

At that moment, Makoto stopped hyperwentilating long enough to stare, drop-jawwed, at her partner. "Bachi." She spoke low and slow. "I am bachiatari. Somewhere, some god is punishing

me for some wrong I have done in a past life. I know it" She fought back the urge to use

Minako as a Karate-target. "Mina-chan! Maybe, Shingo learned of his aneue's identity on his

own? Shingo is smart-boy! Dano.. Usagi and Sai..lor..moon have same hairstyle! How many Odango-atama do *you* know in Nippon?? Besides.. I an GLAD that Shingo knows.. because he is trying to look out for her, also!"

"Demo.. she wore disquise whole time, Kino-baka!! Anyway.. are we not Senshi??" Minako screeched.



Makoto was suddenly torn betwwen two needs. Should she have the biggest belly-laugh

she'd ever had.. and risk dying from shortness of breath? Or, should she strangle Minako..

and risk a murder-verdict?

'Hospital-time? Prison-time? Hospital-time? Prison-time?'

Makoto fell to the sidewalk, laughing to the point of helplessness!!

"Besides..", Minako took a superior tone. "Luna would not allow Usagi to tell family her

secret! I think she would kill Tsukino-ikka if that hapened!" Minako developed the stupidest

of grins at that thought.

"Dokkoi! Luna could not *kill* Tsukino-tachi, Minako-baka!" Makoto growled out as she raised herself from the pavement. "Usagi would KILL Advisor, first!" Then she burst into laughter!

"Would serve Neko-baka right! Hai!"

Meanwhile..

After they had managed to seearch through the Susukino District for a clue to Carmen's where-abouts, Shingo amd Usagi began to search for a place to eat. After each picking up two

fresh-roasted cobs of corn from a stall at Odori Park, brother and sister wandered down to

Ramen Alley!

After wandering around a bit, Shingo stopped short suddenly.

"Nani-yo! Shingo-touto?" Usagi asked.

Shingo pointed to a shop-sign. "'Tsuki-no-Ramen'. I.. think.. we have found our clue!"

"Hai" Usagi said. "Come. We should not keep Carmen's people waiting."

Usagi smiled after her second bowl of ramen. "Koumi! I have NEVER had a better ramen!"

"We in Hokkaido pride on the freshness of our ramen-toppings!" The counter-waiter said

with a smile.

"Hai!" Usagi replied as she pulled some money from her purse. "Donokurai?"

"Your soup has already been paid for!" The owner smiled. "By woman in red-coat! She

asked if we would give you this!" The owner passed Usagi a slip of paper.

Usagi and Shingo read the note:

"Follow me to Hashi-no-Mamiyo."

"The Bridge of Mamiyo?" Shingo asked.

"There is no Hashi-no-Mamiyo in Sapporo!" The shop-owner said.

"Mamiyo.. Mamiyo.." Usagi kept repeating as if trying to jog a memory. "Dokkoi! Mamiyo..

may that be Mamiyo Rinzo? Was not he sent by the Tokugawa government to explore Karafuto?

In 1808? We learned about him in school?"

"Hai!" Shingo smiled broadly. "Dano, many have called Karafuto the bridge between Nippon

and the Asian mainland!"

"We now know where we are to meet!" Usagi smirked. "Now, all we have to do is play kitsune

and stay away from Senshi!"

"We have to start now!" Shingo hissed from the doorway. "Mizuno-Sama and Hino-Sama are

walking up the alley!"

"Hai!" Usagi nodded, the bowed to the owner. "Kind sir! Is there a back-door we can slip

out of?"

Usagi and Shingo slipped out of a kitchen window!

As Usagi and Shingo were escaping the Innersenshi in Sapporo, about 100 kilometers

northeastward.. between the city of Asahikawa and Daisetsuzan National Park.. one ambush was

being planned, while another was being sprung!

"Are you sure that this Sandiego-person will BE here, Michiru?" Haruka cursed as she paced

nervously.

"Goshinpainaku Haruka!" Michiru reassured her partner. "Sandiego Carmen-san has been

reported here since this morning! She has not moved from this area. Dakara? She has not

moved!"

"Then, why can we not FIND HER?!?!" Haruka vented. "We have searched this area for eight

hours- four of those hours on FOOT! And we STILL have not found her! She is Bokomono!!"

"Relax, Haruka-chan!" Michiru. "From what we have learned of Carmen-Sama, she is VERY

CAREFUL in her planning! I have little doubt that is why she is hidden! Demo.. she will think

like us! She will realize that this is perfect-area for ambush! Hai. She will spring trap on Usagi, dano.."

"We will spring trap on HER!!" Haruka grinned.. much like a hungry wolf.

"Two out of three isn't bad, ladies!" Carmen said from atop a rocky knoll, as she lowered

a spy-glass. "I applaud you! The right idea, and the right area! Demo.. the wrong targets!"

"Carmen..!" Haruka gasped.

"Sandiego!" Michiru caught her breath.

The two Outersenshi raced to the car.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you. Miss Ten'oh.. Miss Kairoh! You see.. while you were

hunting for me," Carmen pulled out a monkey-wrench from an inside-pocket of her coat, "I've

been 'fixing' your car!" Having pocketed the spy-glass, Carmen pulled out a block of

Plastique Esplosive. "It is rather amazing how little C4 it takes to disable a car. There's

an explosion.. and a bit of a fireball! I would *suggest* you step away from the car!"

Uranus and Neptune stepped away from the car.. and charged Carmen!

"You will DIE, Carman-youkai! World-SHAKING..."

"Deep-SUB--!"

Carmen pulled a detonator.. and clicked!

**BOOOOOOOOMMMM!!!!**

The engine of Haruka's car was reduced to so many pieces of a jigsaw puzzle as the front

end- and front tires- were shredded! Carmen dove for safe cover, while Haruka and Michiru

were thrown by the shock of the blast into semi-conciousness!

Carmen then donned a bio-hazard suit.

"Semper Perpatis, ladies!" Carmen spoke through her gas-mask. "Usually, I abhor violence.

But! You called the dance when you attacked the two Acme agents back in Kyoto! And, since I

know of your record worldwide, I knew I'd have to play rough! I know that physical-force

won't keep you down, in itself.. so, let's see what nerve-gas will do! Don't worry.. it

isn't Sarin! You can thank me, later! You're actually getting off lucky!! I'd dealt

more-harshly with my own PEOPLE for pulling what you two have pulled in the past two days!"

After Carmen tossed the cans of nerve-agent over to Haruka and Michiru, the two Senshi

started the cough, then drool, then twitch.. and, finally, black-out!

Then Carmen dragged the Sailorsenshi from the war-zome!

After the Senshi were safely away from the smoke and flames- and after he had

decontaminated herself- Carmen picked clicked on a communicator:

"Clay? This is Carmen! Can you read me!"

Loud and clear, Carmen! Came the voice over the com-link. How was the hunting-trip?

"Just fine! In fact.. I have two trophies I need for you to pick up!"

Will do. Carman! I have your signal! ETA in 15 minutes!!

Fifteen minutes later, Carmen was talking to her helicopter-pilot, Clay Tandoori.

"How are you for a trip to the Bonins, Clay?" Carmen asked.

"The Huie is in international waters on the Akula and ready to take off at your command, Carmen!" The ex-Indian Air Force Officer smiled. "My chopper has enough feul for a round

trip, if needs be!"

"Good!" Carmen ordered, "because it will be needed! I want you to take these two AWOL

Sailors and *really* make them AWOL!! Fly them to Iwo Jima..and put them on top of Mount Surabachi!"

"As you wish, Carmen!" Clay smiled and saluted. Having helped Carmen pack for this

side-trip, he had heard of the Senshi's treatment of Zack and Ivy. And, he agreed with

his boss' opinion of the two fighters at his feet. In fact, he thought Carmen should

have been rougher on them than she actually was!! "I will fly out the the big bird. Then,

I wil fly the cargo to Iwo! Just let me know how the kids are doing? Alright?"

"You got it, Clay!" Carmen shouted over the rotaries!

After The helicopter bearing Uranus and Neptone flew off towards the Pacific, Carmen

turned back towards what was left of Hatuka'c car.. and met a small girl with a big glaive!

"Ahh.. Sailorsaturn, I presume!" Carmen smiled. "Are you here to seek retribution for

your comrades?"

Saturn lowered her glaive towards Carmen. "I am only here to make sure Serenity-Hime

stays well!! Haruka-chichi and Michiru-haha are only reaping what they have sowed! Demo..

they will be alright?"

"Hai." Carmen grinned. "They will be alright. Clay knows better than to cross me. They

will be bruised and battered for a while, but they will breathe.. for Serenity-hime's..

for Usagi's sake! She will have need of them in the years to come. If she had no need of

them.. I MAY have done more damage."

"They mean much to you," Sailorsaturn said as she turned the glaive-handle over to

Carmen, "These Acme detectives, the brother and sister?"

"More than you could even guess, Tomoe Hotaru-chan! Arigatou!"

Violet eyes looked up to the master-thief. "You know of the Sailorsenshi?"

"Some, hai!" Carmen answered, her facial-features as much a puzzle as Saturn's.

"When I decided I needed to talk to Usagi.. I tried to study and learn as much about the

Sailorsenshi as I could."

"Did you learn what you needed to learn?" Saturn asked.

"Not by half." Carmen sighed. "The Innersenshi were easiest to learn about, but the

Outersenshi were a puzzle! When I learned that Ten'oh Haruka and Kaioh Michiru were pieces

of that puzzle.. I grew concerned! I saw my concern was well founded! However.. I still

don't know who brought those two assassins into the puzzle! And that worries me. People

like them need a handler! Whoever handles them may decide to strike again with something

worse. He.. or she.. has taken so much..."

"Goshinpainaku, Carmen-Sama!" Sailorsaturn smiled and bowed. "Zackary and Ivy will be

alright! I will see to it!"

"Arigatou, Hotaru-Sama!" Carmen bowed and handed Hotaru the Silence-Glaive.

"As for Haruka-chichi and Michiru-haha.. Setsuna-haha may know a bit about them. You

must know a story."

The next morning saw Usagi and Shingo hiking from the Wakkanai train station to the

northern tip of Hokkaido, Cape Soya. In the distance, about 25 kilometers north across

Soya Kaikyo - the La Perouse Strait - or Soya Strait to the Japanese - they could just

see the Island of Sakhalin, or Karafuto.

"I.. wonder.. if Carmen-Sama will be able to meet us here?" Usagi asked while looking

out across the strait. "I.. felt.. Haruka and Michiru.. yesterday, Their intentions were

not generous! Iie! Demo.. I can no longer feel them! I hope they are well!"

"Goshinpainaku, aneue!" Shingo said, scanning the inland-areas, "If history does repeat

itself, we will see the gakidomo, again!" Shingo made a face-of-disgust at the thought. "Do

you still feel Ginzhuishou?"

"Hai!" Usagi pointed toward the tip of Cape Soya. "It is that way! Shimatta! Even in

Summer, it is cold, here! Dano.. wind off the sea does not help! Even in jacket, I feel

cold!"

"Hai." Shingo muttered.

Soon, Usagi spied a small boat on the beach 50 meters from she and her brother. As they

made their way to the boat, Usagi could make out a woman in the elm-bark shirt and head-

dress of the Ainu.. and a bushel-basket of carrots!

Usagi grimaced. And Shingo snickered.

"I think we find Carmen-Sama?" Shingo smiled mercilessly.

"What is a better bait to lure a rabbit", The "Ainu" asked, "but carrots? Or..

Ginzhuishou?" The women then smiled. "Konnichi-wa, Hime! Dano, the young man is..?"

"This is..", Usagi began.

"Watashi-wa Tsukino Shingo!" Shingo bowed politely.

"He is my otouto!" Usagi said with a smile of pride. "We are protective of each other!

Hai hai!"

Carmen smiled as a small tear slid down her face. "It is good that you are so protective

of family.. Usagi.. that.. makes what I need to ask.. that much easier!"

"Nani-yo, Carman?" Usagi asked.

"No honorifics?" Carmen asked, surprised. "I.. am honored! Hime.. Serenity.. Usagi..

I want- I NEED- you to..."

"HOLD IT, CARMEN!" A chorus of shouts came from the hieghts!

"Shimatta.." Carmen grumbled- then she smiled and chuckled. "Armando! Carlo! Svetlana!

What kept you?"

"Acme called us after your hiest of Tokyo, Carmen!" Svetlana called back down.

"Unfortunately, we had to wait in Vladivostock until you reappeared! When you were spotted

in Sapporo and then Asahikawa, Acme *thought* you might be heading north!"

"Fleeing to Russia, Signora Carmen?" Carlo asked.

"No, Carlo, no." Carmen grinned. "I still have to find what I came to Japan for,

in the first place!"

"I am afraid Hunting-Seasom in Japan is over, Carmen!" Armando shouted as he gathered

his riata.

"I am afraid I have you at a disadvange, goucho!" Carmen called back. "You haven't had the time to study the topography here! I have!"

"Carmen..?" Usagi fidgeted.

"Nani-yo, Hime?" Carmen asked.

"I.. think the Senshi are here!" Shingo looked around.

"MERCURY!! SHINE.. ILLUSION!!!!"

"JUPITER!! OAK.. EVOLUTION!!!!"

"Kuso...!!" Usagi and Carmen hissed out together.

"MARS!! FLAME.. SNIPER!!!"

"Detectives!" Called called up to the bluffs. "If you want to live to see tomorrow,

hit the ground.. NOW!!!!"

Three Acme detectives dove for the rocks!

"VENUS!! LOVE AND BEAUTY.. SHOCK!!"

Usagi whispered through her her gritted teeth. "In place of Moon.. I will *kill* Senshi!

Hai!"

As the attacks subsided, leaving nothing but an ominous thunder across the strait

that seemed to reverberate off Sakhalin, the Acme detectives jumped back to life!

"I do not know WHO you ARE..", Svetlana roared.

"Shimatta! I am not sure who they are, either!" Usagi swore. "Anymore. Kuso!"

"but.. after we capture Carmen..", the young Russian finished, "YOU ARE..!!"



But, Carmen had already disappeared! She, then, reappeared.. 50 yards away!

"You can try to catch me, if you wish!" Carmen called out, saluting her opponents,

palm-down and at an angle. "But it will take an OLYMPIC effort!"



After the salute.. Carmen vanished!

"What did she mean?" Sailormars asked. "Why wold it take 'olympic effort' to catch her?"

"As Americans say," Svetlana inquire, "'First things, first!' Who are you?"

"Nani?" Minako asked.

"You heard our partner!" Carlo answered. "Who are you?"

"We are the Sailorsenshi!" Sailormercury answered. "Dano.. we are after that.. woman..

to retrieve a jewel that she stole.. from.. our leader!"

"Ahh.. the 'Ginzhuishou'? I think it is called?" Arnando said.

"Hai!.. It is!" Ami said a bit hesitantly.

"And..", Svetlana turned to Usagi and Shingo. "Who are you?"

"We are.. friends.. of their leader!"

The Innersenshi turned as one and starred, with choked-expressions, on their faces!

Shingo sweat-dropped.

Usagi wrote in Katakana in the wet sand:

HE IS

MY FRIEND

Four pairs of eyes slowly looked up at Usagi, who then wrote:

I MAY TELL

IF YOU LIVE

LONG ENOUGH

Usagi then glared daggars at her four protectors, who promptly sweat-dropped!

"Errr... What is wrong with the Signorae?" Carlo asked. "They look a bit.. sick all of a sudden!"

"It may be something they have eaten..", Usagi grinned. "Maybe some *nekojiru* will help?"

The Innersenshi turned ashen!

"Errrrrrrrr.. hmmmmmmmm..", Sailormercury tried to regain some kind of composure,

"so.. ahhh.. what.. could Sandiego-Sama mean by 'olympic'? What could the clue BE to?"

"Anou..", Usagi interrupted, "Olympics were held in Japan three times? Hai! Tokyo.. 1960?

Sapporo.. 1972? Dano.. Nagano.. 1998?"

The Innersenshi looked at Usagi as if aliens had taken over her brain! However, they

had to admit that Usagi probably had reasoned out the clue perfectly.

"So? What do we do?" Makoto asked as four pairs of eyes looked expectently back to Usagi.

"Hmmm...", Usagi pondered, "it is too many places to check one at a time! I.. guess two Senshi will have to go to one city, and two others will go to another city!"

"That leaves the third city!" Minako observed.

"I guess my otouto will have to check that one?" Usagi asked.

Sailormars was about to object, but Svetlana interrupted.

"It *sounds* like good plan! But!! One of us Acme detectives will accompany each team!

This way..", the young Russian said, "we can help fast if something comes up!" Them, she whispered:

"And I do not trust these 'shoot-first' Sailorsenshi! Nyet!"

"It is agreed, then?" Usagi grinned. "Good!! Svetlana will go with us!!"

"Good!" Svetlana said. "We will rest in Asahikawa, tonight! Acme has rest-stop there! Tomorrow, we will fly to our cities to check for Carmen! We will take Nagano!"

On the train back to Asahikawa, Shingo and Usagi were able to find some quiet-place to

talk:

"You did well in throwing you inouye a bone, aneue!" Shingo bowed. "They saw the logic

of the Olympic Games!"

"As I was sure they would, itouto! I think you and I were only ones to register salute!"

"Hai!" Shingo agreed. "Salute was American military!"

"When we get to Asahikawa, I know Senshi will guard me! So, you will look up American Operation Olympic on Internet! I am sure that is what Carmen-Sama referred to. We need

to know what beaches om Kyushu America planned to invade in World War!"
