"Stop right there, evil-doer!" A clear voice rang out over the battlefield, drawing the attention of the combatants.

A girl in a pale blue and silver fuku pointed an accusing finger at the monster that dared to attack anyone while she was in the area. Of course, she paid no attention to the other senshi present that were more than able to take care of a single monster on their own, acknowledging their presence would spoil her dramatic moment.

"I am Sailor Cancer!" She declared proudly and took a deep breath to begin the rest of her introduction speech but was interrupted by the not-quite-whispering voices of the people she had been intent on upstaging.

"Sailor Cancer?" A Sailor Senshi in red said to the senshi next to her, "Who'd want to rule a disease?"

The other girl shrugged. "I guess the Cauldron finally ran out of ideas."

"Mmm," The first senshi nodded firmly. "It had to happen some day."

"HEY!" Sailor Cancer stomped her foot. "Don't make fun of me! I'm Sailor Cancer! You know, like the zodiac? The CRAB?"

There was a brief silence as the other senshi thought this over.

"Oh...... OH! Right." The second senshi said, "Carry on then."

But before Sailor Cancer could resume her speech, the first senshi piped up again. "But does 'crab' also refer to a kind of illness?"

"ZODIAC!" Sailor Cancer bellowed at the two of them. "The ZODIAC crab! I'm not a disease!"

"Of course you're not," The second senshi said in a soothing voice.

All the while, the forgotten monster watched the exchange with a bit of impatience and exasperation. Shouldn't those senshi be trying to kill it? Oh well, it thought with a mental shrug and wandered a couple blocks away to continue its rampage.
