~*~*~*~*~*~* 10:00, (2200)
"Let's go," Usagi said. She and the other girls always wore the same thing when they went on missions. For Usagi, it was a white tee shirt that showed her mid-drift, a pair of powder blue flaired slacks, pink suspenders, and a pair of white sneakers. For Makoto it was a pair of dark green short shorts, a lighter green tank top, a pair of green fingerless gloves, and a pair of brown leather boots that came up about six inches below the hem of her shorts (thats still a few inches above her knee). Hotaru was wearing a skin tight halter cat suit that was dark purple, a pair of black ankle boots, and a black leather trench coat. Rei was wearing a pair of red leather pants that were ripped purposefully and had safety pins all over, as well as a red tank top that buttoned up the front, a pair of red opera gloves, and a pair of dark red leather boots that came up to her knees. Haruka was wearing a pair of sandy colored yoga pants and hiking boots. She was also wearing a tight yellow baby tee and a dark blue army vest. Michiru had a pair of slacks that hugged her hips and upper thighs before falling straigt, a skin tight tanktop that stopped above her navel, and a pair of tan colored loafers. Ami was wearing an aqua baby tee and a pair of blue jean shorts that came down about as far as her sailor skirt, and a pair of gray sneakers. Minako had on a yellow halter top that had a diamond cut out at the neck, a pair of loose khaki's and a yellow jean jacket.
The eight of them left to go to there Gundums. They got in and started there usual procedures.
"Moonlight Assassin, up and running," came Usagi's voice.
"Roses Thorn, up and running," Minako announced.
"Nightwatch Pheonix, up and running," Rei told them.
"Lightning Strength, up and running," Makoto reported.
"Subzero Shockwave, up and running," Ami said.
"Tornado Chaser, up and running," Haruka voiced.
"Tsunami Music, up and running," Michiru told them.
"Gates of Hell, up and running," Hotaru said.
"Then let's get this party started," Usagi announced, she opened a link to the guys, who had just come into view.
"how'd you guys hide your gundums so close to the school?" Duo asked.
"A silence wall filled with aqua illusion," Minako told him.
"oh," he said, clearly wishing he hadn't asked.
"let's split up and get going," Usagi told them.
~*~*~*~*~* With Usagi and Heero
"Ready to have a bit of fun?" Hotaru asked. She put on a Cd marked 'The Firefly's' and turned it up. The first song to come on was blink 182's 'girl at the rock show' she smiled as she heard Usagi laugh. She knew that this would be fun. It took them a little over an hour to get to the base.
"Saturn, Trowa, Uranus, You three watch our backs," Usagi ordered.
"gotcha Moon," Haruka answered.
"Duo, Heero, Mercury, lets go."
"Saturn, would you mind popping out and putting a silent wall around them for us so we can get as close as possible," Ami asked.
"Sure thing Merc," Hotaru replied. The four that were going in the building landed in the courtyard, and got out. Hotaru appeared behind them, silence glaive in hand.
"You going in or what?" Hotaru asked.
"I wanna see," Duo said with a shrug
"fine," Hotaru said. She raised the glaive and pointed it at the four gndums, "Silence Wall Encircle," She cried. A purple sheild appeared around the gundums. Hotaru nodded and dissappeared again.
"Mercury, find the disk," Usagi ordered.
"right," she said. The mercury computer came into her hands, and a pair of goggles went over her eyes. She started to type on the key pad. "The disk is in the middle of the building, highly guarded. The fastest way is down the hall, the easiest way is taking all sorts of turns, it's almost the longest," She growled in annoyance and put her computer away, "We're not going either way, follow, me," She went to a door, pulled a gun off her thigh, and blew the code box. The door opened and she went inside, the others right behind her.
"Merc, this is a side I have yet to see," Duo remarked.
"That's nice," She answered. She turned to a door and blasted the handle off. She opened the door and went in, there were five guards. She got one with five bullets, Heero got two with one bullet each, Duo got one with two bullets and Usagi got one with two bullets. (AN - Ami's guns are like Lara crofts, K?)They went through a door in the back of the room and found themselves in another hall.
"three guards coming around the corner behind us, two in front," Mercury said. Heero and Duo turned around and the girls took care of the ones in front of them. They ran down a short hallway and stopped at what looked like a blank wall.
"UH Merc? you do know where we're going, right?" Duo asked.
"Always," She said, running her fingers along the wall. She smiled suddenly and pressed a little. A code box appeared. She pulled out the mercury computer. A small wire attached itself to the box, and in two minutes, an invisible door slid into the wall. She smirked at Duo and went in. The room was empty, but it was full of computers . . . and doors. She sat down at a computer and typed for a few minutes. "Someones coming through the door in front of Heero," Ami said, not looking up from the screen. the door opened and Ami heard a shot. The door closed again.
"You need to explain that to me later," Heero said.
"Whatever," She stood up, the disk in her hand, "got it," Ami said.
"which way?" Duo asked.
"I dunno, Easy, hard, fastest, longest, what are you in the mood for?" Ami asked them all.
"Fastest," Heero said.
"Shortest," Usagi said.
"easiest," Duo said.
"you aren't making this easy," Ami said. she shot a man who started to come through a door behind Duo.
"That was weird," Duo said.
"She can see through the doors with the goggles, sort of," Usagi told him.
"oh, I get it," Duo answered.
"yes, well,they're going to find out that we took the disk soon," Ami remarked.
"leave it up to Heero," Duo said with a shrug. Ami looked at Usagi, who nodded.
"Heero?"
"Fastest," he said.
"This way," She answered. They went through a door behind Usagi where about ten men were running down the hall towards them. Ami and the others dealt with them quickly. They ran down a hall, following Ami's lead. Another group came down the hall, having heard the gun shots. They dispatched them without a fuss. Ami reloaded her guns. They ran a littl farther, then she had them turn again. Another group came up, followed closely by more. It took them a couple of minutes, but they took care of them. Ami was shot in the arm though.
"Ami, how bad is it?" Usagi asked.
"Not very," Ami answered, a piece of cloth appearing in her hand. She tied it tightly around the wound and kept running. They got outside about five minutes later, killing a few guards on the way.
"Mission Accomplished," Usagi shouted happily once they were in there Gundums.
"Way to go," Haruka said.
"Lets blow this joint," Duo said.
"Duo?" Hotaru asked.
"Yes?"
"Make another joke like that and I'll kill you," Hotaru informed him.
"No sense of humor," Duo muttered.
"Oh, she has a wonderful sense of humor, she just hides it very, well," Usagi commented.
"Ha ha ha, very funny," Hotaru said.
"Time to say buh by," Haruka remarked. She and Trowa shot at it at the same moment, and it blew to smithereens.
"I wonder if the others are done yet?" Duo commented.
~*~*~*~*~* With Michiru and Quatre
"Well, now that they're gone, I guess it's our turn," Minako commented.
"Really? what gave you that idea Venus?" Rei asked sarcastically.
"Mars, be nice," Makoto ordered.
"weak onnas," wufei muttered over the intercom.
"WATCH IT," Rei roared over the up-link.
"please keep your comments to your self until after the mission," Quatre told his freind in a no nonsense voice.
"Fine," it took them slightly longer to reach there destination then it did the other group. Freedoms wing was a densley wooded penninsula.
"Pretty," Minako sighed.
"it's absolutely beautiful," Michiru said quietly.
"They better not be using a peaceful place like this for evil deads, or I'm going to show them just why they shouldn't mess with mother earth," Makoto growled.
"calm down Jupiter," Michiru replied.
"Sorry Neptune,"
"Don't be, keep that anger bottled until we find out what is actually going on. Then, if someone is using it for something other than peace and the common good, you may unleash the anger straight at there faces," Michiru told her.
"Gee Nep, sounds like you've had practice with that," Minako said with a grin.
"Of course, look who my soul mate is," Michiru told them.
"Point taken," Minako said with a laugh.
"If the Onna's are done babbling," Wufei said with a sneering voice.
"If you would like to keep that shiny little blade in one piece, then you will shut your mouth," Makoto answered.
"INJUSTICE,"
"no, female justice at it's best," Rei interrupted him.
"Let's just land," Quatre suggested quickly.
"Good idea cutie," Minako answered.
"Cutie?" Michiru asked.
"Duo's sweet cheeks, Heero's doll face, Trowa's sugar, and Wufei's CP," Minako told the older woman.
"CP?" Makoto asked.
"Chauvinistic Pig," Minako explained.
"IT IS WUFEI," Wufei shouted loudly.
"Whatever you say CP,"Minako said with a laugh. They landed and decided to split into groups.
"Minako, Makoto and I," Quatre started, "Will head north, while Michiru, Rei, and Wufei go south, Questions?" he smiled at them all.
"Why did you stick me with the loudmouth Onna?" Wufei muttered.
"Do I need my duct tape?" Michiru asked. She received a death glare that was no where near the level of Heero's, but was as close as it was gonna get.
"Why don't I make a suggestion, You lay off the onna comments, and we'll lay off the duct tape," Rei said.
"Hn," Wufei muttered, walking away. They two women followed after him.
"I guess that leaves us," Minako said with a smile.
"Let's go," Makoto said, going forward.
"come on Cutie, let's play adventurer, k?" Minako smiled widely and grabbed his arm, running after Makoto.
"Wait a minute, what's that?" Minako, who had been trailing behind alone once they had caught up with Makoto, said suddenly stopping to look at something.
"What do you see?" Quatre asked.
"It looks like a rock, . . . but somethings not right," a frown marred her face as she looked at it harder. She walked foreward and bit her lip, trying to figure out what it was about the thing that made her mind tingle. Makoto and Quatre were right behind her. Makoto drew in a gasp as she recognized the signal it was giving out immediately.
"MINAKO," they girl continued to stare at it, slowly putting stepping foreward, her hand outstretched, "JUPITER PLANET POWER MAKEUP," Makoto screamed. She was instantly transformed, and Quatre pulled out his gun, "Jupiter Thunder Shock," The attack hit the rock and smashed into pieces. Minako suddenly shook her head and quickly backed up.
"Venus Planet Power Makeup," She cried. She was instantly transformed into Super Sailor Venus.
"One of you want to tell me what is going on?" Quatre asked, keeping his bak to the other girls, watching the forest around them.
"Why don't you let me?" Venus told Jupiter.
"wouldn't dream of taking the responsibility," Jupiter said drily, her face belying the good humor in her voice.
"The rock is a trap. It's giving off bad vibes, vibes we haven't felt since we had to fight Chaos. In fact, the vibes felt a lot like Chaos," Venus answered.
"I take it that Chaos is bad?" Quatre asked.
"Very," Makoto answered.
"Thought so," he answered.
"Chaos is an entity bent on taking over and/or destroying the universe," Minako said. They started to run back to there gundums.
Michiru, Rei, and Wufei had been walking about a half hour now. Wufei was in the lead, Michiru behind him, and Rei in the very back.
"Ahh," Rei cried suddenly. Wufei looked behind, thinking that the girl had tripped. Instead, she was on her knees, holding her head.
"I feel something," Michiru said quickly. She rushed to Rei's side. She suddenly twirled.
"What the hell!?" Wufei cried, looking into the face of something that looked identical to him.
"Neptune Planet Power Make Up," Neptune cried, transforming into Super Sailor Neptune, "One of you is a fake that has sent a demon to Rei's head and will die, the other will live," She pulled out a her mirror and looked into it. Rei got shakily to her feet and transformed.
"Mars Planet Power Make Up," She cried. She was back as Super Sailor Mars, and stood glaring at the two. Michiru continued to look at the two in the mirror. They were the same. The mirror never lies. What was going on? The mirror dissappeared, and she glared at the two.
"Mars, are you alright?" She asked.
"Yes Neptune, The demon that attacked wasn't strong enough to get in my mind, it was only able to hit,"
"We need to figure out which Wufei is the real one," Michiru answered.
"What!? I thought I saw you with the mirror," Rei answered.
"I did, it shows that they are the same thing," She explained.
"Time to do this the hard way," Rei said with a nod.
"Hey, Wu-man," Michiru called.
"Don't call me Wu-man," The one on the left shouted.
"INJUSTICE," the other shouted, "W-U-F-E-I, Wufei,"
"Do you want me to get the duct tape?" Rei asked.
"ONNA," The first said warningly.
"You stay away from me, Weak Onna" The other one commented, backing a step away from Neptune. The first one looked at him curiously, before realization dawned in his eyes for a split second.
"I think I figured it out," Michiru commented, She put her hands in front of her, "Deep Submerge," it shot towards the first one.
"Mars Flame Surround," Rei, who was closer, shot at the first one, blocking him from Michiru's attack. Then turned quickly to the other one, "Flame Sniper," She shot the arrow of Fire at him and it hit him, turning him to dust.
"Why did you do that Onna?" Wufei asked curiously.
"Mars Fire Dissipate," Mars called, holding her hand at the flames surrounding Wufei, the disappeared. "Do what?"
"Stop her from hitting me?" He asked.
"I don't feel like having Heero's gun in my face because I brought home the wrong Wufei," She answered, turning around.
"How do you know that he's the right Wufei?" Michiru cried.
"Would that have turned to dust if he had been real?" Rei asked her.
"Point taken, but how did you know that he was the right Wufei?" Michiru asked as Wufei muttered something about weak onnas and there dumb questions.
"When I asked about the duct tape, they both acted mad," Rei started.
"Acted?" Wufei asked with a glare. Rei glared back before turning to Michiru once again.
"The fake Wufei backed up and told you to stay away from him The real Wufei glared and kept his ground. Do you really think that Wufei is going to let a woman cow him?"
"Now I understand," Michiru said with a smile.
"yup," Rei said with a smile, "It's all about pride and macho chauvinism,"
"Watch it Onna," Wufei growled.
"You're only furthering the point you know," Michiru retorted.
"Hn," He stalked a few steps away from them, and twirled as he heard A scream from Rei. She was back on the ground, holding her head.
"What's wrong with her?" Wufei asked.
"Does it look like I know?" Michiru cried.
"I don't have time for this," he walked over and picked her up, "back to the gundums, now," He started out at a jog. Michiru was a few steps behind him an she turned on her communicator.
Minako, Makoto, and Quatre got to there gundums just as the girls' comunicators went off. "Venus," Minako said as she flipped open the gadget.
"Venus? Neptune here. We have a bit of a problem," There was a loud cry, and the screen was shaking like the girl was running.
"What's going on?" Makoto asked, on her link.
"I'm not exactly sure," Michiru said, "We were looking around, and then something hit Mars' mind, and then a Wufei clone came, and we killed it, and then Mars started to scream and fell down. Wufei and I are heading to the gundums, can you meet us there?"
"One step ahead of you, we're already there," Makoto answered.
"Good, Neptune out," The screen went blank, and the girls closed the 'watches'.
"I don't think that they're to far out," Quatre answered.
"they were running as well," Makoto answered. about twenty minutes later, the three came into the clearing. Both were panting slightly, and Rei, who was in Wufei's arms, had passed out.
"Let's get out of here," Wufei yelled. He threw Rei over his shoulder and started toward his gundum.
"Do you really think that we are going to let you all go away and report us?" A voice asked from the bushes.
"What the," Wufei turned around quickly. There, surrounding them all, were multi colored beings shaped like humans.
"Jut what do you plan on doing?" Quatre asked, his voice like flint.
"Do you really think that I am stupid enough to answer that?" The voice asked again. No one could see who it belonged to.
"Now now, don't get pissy on us," Makoto answered sweetly, a dangerous gleam in her eyes.
"Yeah, I mean, if you had to ask us that," Minako said, tossing her hair over her shoulder, "It's obvious that your at least a little low in the brain sector,"
"You always were the most annoying one of all," The masculine voice retorted.
"I know that voice," Michiru cried, her hand flying to her mouth.
"Ah, the Guardian of the Sea, Why am I not surprised that she is the first one to recognize me?" the voice asked.
"It was you that attacked Mars, wasn't it?" Makoto growled.
"Yes, it was. I had a henchmen do it first, but he was to weak. So I took matters into my own hands," he sounded proud of himself.
"NO, you aren't him," Minako screamed suddenly, her hands over her ears.
"Now I'm surprised," he said mockingly, "The ditz figured it out before the jock,"
"Oh, I figured it out already, but I don't believe it," Makoto growled.
"That's to bad, but you'll see soon enough that I am," was the answer, right before every monster around them attacked.
"Jupiter Supreme Thunder Crash," Makoto yelled, taking out four.
"Venus Love And Beauty Shock," She took out two.
"Neptune Deep Submerge," She wiped five of them off the playing field. Wufei had his Katana out and was trying to hold off the monsters, and keep Rei over his shoulder. Quatre had out his guns, and just started shooting them in there respective heads. There were two youma left, and then a black hole opened beneath them, and they fell through it.
"Is that all you've got?" Makoto yelled.
"Come out and face us you Jack ass," Minako said, her voice deceptively nice.
"We know who you are Mamoru, years of listening to you down talk the princess put you on our bad list, and lusting after Rei the entire time made you slip lower," Michiru said in disgust.
"Ah," the voice came, "I am touched that you noticed. But you have one thing a little off," he said mockingly.
"OH? What's that?" Makoto asked.
"I lusted after Usagi and Rei, . . . together,"
"What?" Minako asked.
"dark as night, and light as day. Both with me together. A rather fun thought if you ask me," he said with a laugh.
"Wait a minute, I thought she killed you," Makoto started all of a sudden.
"She did," he said with an evil laugh.
"Now I'm confused," Quatre started.
"That's fine, I will complete half of my fantasy," There was a popping noise behind Wufei, and then, an arm snaked out and wrapped around Rei's waist.
"What the-," Wufei pulled back on Rei, and a tug-o-war started for a few minutes, before the youma in the 'rip' won, and Rei was pulled into the other place.
"BRING HER BACK," Minako screamed, her face turning Red in her fury.
"No, I think it's time to get my other princess," he stepped out of the forest, directly n front of them. He wore the Tuxedo Mask outfit, and then, with a wave of his cape and a jaunty solute, he was gone.
"USA," Makoto screamed. Michiru flipped open her communicator and frantically pushed the button that called all the Senshi.
"Yes?"
"Haruka," Michiru started, tears coming down her face.
"Michi-mama?" Hotaru asked.
"Mamoru, he's alive, get Usa out of her gundum, and somewhere completely safe, I mean completely. He took Rei out of Wufei's arms. He wants the both of them,"
"Well he's not getting me without a fight," Usagi announced with a scowl.
"Now is not the time to be acting like a blonde," Minako shouted.
"He is not," there was a screeching noise, and they could here Usagi screaming.
"USAGI," Ami screamed.
"he has her," Michiru sank to the ground dejectedly.
"Stand back up," Minako commanded the older woman, "You all get back to Quatre's mansion, double time it," she flipped off her communicator, as the two girls with her followed suit, "get up Michiru, we don't have time to play the blame game, so we're going to skip it. We need everyone at maximum potential right now, so get in your Gundums and go, I'll get Rei's," She turned to do that, and noticed Wufei, who hadn't moved a muscle since Rei was taken out of his arms.
"Snap out of it," Makoto said, sending a tiny bolt of electricity into his hand. He glared at her and jumped into his cockpit.
"Meet you there," She told Minako with a salute. Minako climbed into Rei's Gundum and started to type out codes and such. In a few minutes, she had put in the proper codes, so that Nightwatch Pheonix would follow Roses Thorn, and took off.
Damia - "For those of you that think Minako seems a little out of character, I would just like to say that I believe this is the way she really is,"
Solatina - "She was obviously put as the leader for a reason"
Damia - "In case of an emergency, Minako was supposed to act as a leader. She's also been a scout the longest. I think she pretends to be a ditz so that she can feel like a normal teenage girl,"
Wren - "Yeah, She has to be serious once and a while,"
Damia - "And for those of you that might get mad at me for portraying Neptune as weak, don't,"
Solatina - "Yeah, Neptune's just upset that She couldn't stop the baka,"
Damia - "That's enough for now, we'll see you during the next installment,"
Wren - "And please review, we need more idea's for the story,"
Solatina - "Lot's more, we're running dry here,"
Damia - "So leave idea's and thoughts and all that jazz,"
