Senshi & Spies United, Episode 3: "Fateful Encounter"
Disclaimer: As we all know, the great manga/anime that is Sailormoon is owned by the even more great Takeuchi Naoko, not I, Sokai. Nor do I own the very adorable anime styled FRENCH ITALIAN cartoon (since I'd forgotten, and SimmyC beat it over my head to get right, sorry . . . well, the French aspect; dunno if he knows it's also an Italian production, as well. Pfft LoL), Totally Spies, which is owned by the cool people of TF1 Marathon Animation. However, the storyline, the character Princess Lenia and any other minor characters and/or attacks I will put into here (and anything else) IS owned by me (though obviously inspired by each series). So, please . . . REMEMBER that. LoL
Note: Okay. So, I know for fact (well, maybe not fact, but I'm quite certain LoL) that after I post this episode, people will leave reviews talking about how I should make the spies the super agents they'll become in July 31st's "Evil Promotion, Much?" TV movie special episode . . . or, by the time I post this, they DID become. Thought had crossed my mind to "upgrade" them all on my own in my own way well before having known of this ep's existence, but I dunno if I'll still do so. Maybe towards the end of this "series," as I had thought of maybe upgrading the Sailor Senshi as well (I like giving them upgrades in power; it's easy and fun to do LoL); meh. LoL So, pleaseeeeeeee, hold/save your breath if you're like, "They're super spies now! Do it like this!" because for the lassssst time, my story is inspired by the series, however it doesn't mean I will do everything EXACTLY as is in the original series. So there we go. LoL Sorry to sound mean, but it was for your own good . . . now, go to your room! HeHe (Sorry, but I always hated that when my 'rents would say stuff like that to me when I was a kid LoL)
Oh! And for the record, so no one'll get all "grr" at me again about their supposed last names and whether or not it's their undercover last names or WHATEVER, Sam's last name, according to the creators, is Simpson; Clover's is Ewing; and Alex's is Vazquez . . . Ok, sorry. I'm laughing right now as I type this, because EVERY time I say or type Sam's and Clover's last names, I always think of THE Simpsons (y'know: Homer, Marge, etc), and then I think of Patrick Ewing and his giant nostrils (that my older bro always likes to joke and say he could catch massive gnats and other bugs in 'em while driving or something LoL) of the New York Knicks . . . LoL Sorry, yeah; probably not funny to you, but ah well. HeHe So, yeah, again, I don't like or agree with those last names for them, so I gave them some new ones I find more appropriate. Woo. LoL (Plus, I had also written this fic over a year ago, or rather, started to write it, so yeah. Pfft)
And, yes, the creators spell Brittany's name as Britney, indeed; however, again, I don't really care for that spelling so for now, I shall continue to spell it as I have been (although, it IS true, well to those who truly know me, that when I write stories or fanfics, I DO like to hold true to the original series where names or attacks or what have you are concerned. So perhaps I might go back and edit it all at a later date. But as SimmyC pointed out in his review, after also pointing out it's spelled Britney, one who knows the show and then reads my story, will know and understand to whom I am referring with very little difficulty, so . . . yeah LoL But, if I'm lucky enough like Janelle san was with her own Sailormoon Trilogy, if I got this published online somewhere I mean, "officially" published as Janelle san had then I of course would change their names, etc. Alas, however, that'd probably never happen least, not with this fic, anyhow so . . . right HeHe).
That's it . . . for now, I guess. LoL
Enjoy this sucky (I think, anyway . . . in some ways LoL) episode, made by yours truly . . . sadly LoL
This episode was created/written in October 2004.
"Everyone who can be here is here? Good! Then let's get this over with! Starting to get a little hungry . . . MOON ETERNAL POWER, MAKE UP!"
"MERCURY ETERNAL POWER, MAKE UP!"
"MARS ETERNAL POWER, MAKE UP!"
"JUPITER ETERNAL POWER, MAKE UP!"
"VENUS ETERNAL POWER, MAKE UP!"
The five Inner Senshi, who, after having caught up with and met Rei in the designated spot she had suggested to them over her communicator (about eight blocks away from Tokyo Tower), each pulled out her henshin wand and transformed into her Sailor Senshi alter ego, respectfully.
Surveying the seemingly abandoned area, Sailors Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus formed a tight, protective circle around their leader, Eternal Sailormoon while she gazed around her whereabouts a moment before giving out instructions.
A slight apprehensive look crossed her face as she spoke.
"All right . . . I think we should split up for now, rather than sticking together as we now are, minna . . . in that way, we can scout around the area to see if any remaining citizens stayed behind or need assistance, in addition to hopefully succeed in surprise attacking the Tokyo Tower youma."
Eternal Sailormars frowned lightly at this.
"Iie, Moon chan; I really don't think it would be smart to separate and let everyone go off on her own least of all you. And "
" I happen to agree with her, Sailormars. It would be better if we did split up; we'd cover more ground that way a lot faster, and decrease the chance of a giant ambush. It's a very good strategical idea, I think," Eternal Sailormercury carefully intervened as she stepped forward, ever so slightly breaking their protective sphere as she raised a white gloved hand to the blue dangling earring within her ear. Lightly pinching it, she caused a blue visor to magically appear over her equally blue eyes, random calculations and statistics instantly rushing past them.
The other senshi watched her eyes as they narrowed and moved to and fro on occasion for a few minutes, before at last reaching up to pinch her earring once more, causing the visor to vanish.
"Well, from the looks of things, the area seems to be secure, so we very well could take our leave from one another right now, and meet back up at Tokyo Tower," Sailormercury revealed, turning around to face her friends after having completed her analysis.
As the four girls' expressions relaxed in satisfaction, preparing to go their separate ways, only Eternal Sailormars remained, firmly planted in her spot with her face becoming grim as she folded her arms across her chest.
"What's the matter with you, Mars chan? We have to hurry, or else we'll "
" I don't recall having ever cast my vote to make the decision to split up unanimous, Sailorvenus. I still believe it'd be better if we stayed together so we can be there to protect Sailormoon if need be, instead of falling into some foolish trap and risk losing her again . . . like before . . ."
Eternal Sailormars looked at her red high heeled shoes immediately as she softly trailed off, silently cursing herself for still feeling the same way about their last battle, with the warp minded Queen Nehelenia-sama.
She understood that all five of them, not just she alone, had been forceless against the Dark Queen's manipulations and dark magic, who sought out to use their most sacred dreams against them, and as a result, making them very easy targets for defeat.
However, the guilt of giving into her hidden inhibitions and desires, even if only for a moment, at the stake of her best friend and future Queen's (not to mention the Earth's) safety made Sailormars feel extremely shameful . . . even now, one year later.
Eternal Sailormoon, as if able to read her mind, rested her crystalline blue eyes upon Sailormars and slowly approached her, putting her gloved hand gently upon her shoulder.
No words were exchanged between them for a moment while the others looked on, until at last Sailormoon softly spoke,
"Minna . . . I think that we should still split up, demo . . . I also think it'd be best if one of you accompanied me while investigating; you know, to be on the safe side. Mars chan, would you mind coming along with me, please?"
As Eternal Sailormars slowly nodded in response, grateful to her leader for saving her the trouble of having to explain herself to the others as they clearly did not understand the reasons behind her current apprehension, the three remaining senshi merely nodded in suit themselves.
It was bad enough to the extremely proud and emotionally solid raven haired priestess-in-training that the one person she wished to burden the least in the entire world of her woes and worries seemed to understand her the most in regard to her ongoing troubles; she did not care to divulge her embarrassing anxieties with the rest of her teammates just yet . . . or ever.
"All right! Let's go kick some youma a$$!" Eternal Sailorjupiter suddenly exclaimed, breaking the slight tension and ran off ahead.
"I feel sorry for the youma that's stupid enough to cross paths with Jupiter chan," Sailorvenus smirked, turning and running in the opposite direction of the tall brunette, however not before waving goodbye to the others, who also all began to take her own leave as well toward the unknown.
YYYYYYYYY
"All right! Here we are, girls: Tokyo, Japan," Sam spoke lightly as the five spies landed behind a pair of bushes inside an empty park, after having been roughly ejected from the WOOHP shuttle and parachuting the rest of the way down.
The crimson haired intellect continued on as she quietly but swiftly took off her parachute gear and readjusted her Jet Pack Backpack onto her back.
"Now, we'd better be very careful and quiet to be on the safe side. We don't exactly know what we're up against, so let's try to stay "
" Oooh! Just look at how cute I am in this outfit! It so flatters my waist . . . not that it really needs to, seeing as I have a flawless body by nature . . . AHAHAHA!" Mandy suddenly squealed from behind Sam, startling everyone as they all turned to see the raven haired girl staring at her own reflection against the window of a closed supermarket from across the street, in the middle of modeling off one of their many convenient disguises stored away inside of each X Powder communicator.
"Mandy! What are you doing! Get back over here, and listen to Sam's briefing! And FYI, much? There is no outfit in this world that could ever flatter your supposed 'flawless body' . . . even though that Geisha outfit you have on there is pretty stylish . . . Hmm, I wonder if this thing has one in pink and "
" Clooover! You're not helping the matter much!" Sam exhaled in an exasperated manner while sweat dropping, snatching Clover's X Powder from out of her hands before the blonde could activate the disguise.
Both Brittany and Alex smiled sheepishly as a mini quarrel of incoherent babbling erupted between the two girls, while Mandy continued to activate several more disguises, humming happily to herself as she did so.
"Um . . . maybe I should delegate what's what for the time being, huh?" Brittany murmured to Alex, who nodded in appreciative agreement while trying to pry Sam and Clover away from the other's grasp.
"Yeah, and quick, before there's not a spy left to complete the mission! Or, before a big, creepy bad guy comes rushing out at us from some unknown hiding spot, and makes sure there's not a spy left to complete the mission . . ."
Standing up from her crouched position behind the bushes, Brittany abandoned her spot as she calmly walked over to Alex's side, placing herself in between the two still fuming girls.
Smiling lightly, she gently took the "stolen" X Powder from out of Sam's hands and turned her attention to Clover as she opened it.
"While I don't really think a Geisha outfit is really the best choice when trying to look inconspicuous around here, Mandy and Clover, I think that maybe something like this . . ." Brittany trailed off as she pushed one of the many buttons featured on the device, her sky blue spy attire melting away and a Japanese school girl's Winter uniform materialized in its stead, her hair now up in a bun.
". . . would be more appropriate? We can say that we just came from night school if we should happen to run into anyone during our investigation and they become suspicious," she finished, now smiling warmly at Sam and Clover especially, whose dour expression instantly vanished at the sight of the becoming outfit.
"Oooh! I think we can definitely make some sort of compromise with this, indeed, Britt! How about it, Mandy?" Clover addressed the slow walking girl as she made her way back across the street to rejoin the rest of them.
"Well, if I could ever get over there, I'd give you a better response, Clooover! Ugh! Stupid . . . thing . . . too tight . . . can't walk any faster while wearing it! Ahh!" Mandy groaned, falling over onto her side into a fresh patch of snow as the rest of the spies changed into their own school girl uniforms.
Shaking her head while Clover, Brittany, and Alex tried to suppress their fits of laughter, Sam made her way over to her fallen teammate and helped her up, sighing.
"Why don't you just activate the disguise already, Mandy, and then you won't have to worry about tripping again, or the speed of your movement? We've wasted enough time here as it is, anyway . . ."
Mandy, lightly mumbling under her breath, did as she was told while Sam began to restate her instructions from before.
"Okay, guys . . . since we don't know what's really going on here yet like I said, and because it's so quiet and deserted, I think we should each take this perfect opportunity to survey the area as much as possible without having to worry about 'outside interruptions.'
So, with that said, we'll all split up: Clover, you take downtown; Alex, take uptown. Brittany and I will cover the main square, and Mandy, you "
" Will stay right here in this area where it's nice and quiet . . . and safe. What? I'll still do the whole investigating thingie, but I'll also be a lookout, too! I mean, since we're already in this area, there's no sense in leaving it uncharted, right?" Mandy quickly explained, trying to dissuade the disapproving stares of her teammates at her selfish decision.
Pausing, thinking of whether or not she should let Mandy remain behind, Sam's brief mulling it over was ended by Clover's annoyed scoff and turn of her heels as she began to walk away with a dismissive hand in the air.
"Uh! What-evvver! So long as she actually does some spy work this time, instead of whining the entire duration like on the last mission, then I'm all for it!
Plus, it'll keep her out of my hair for a while . . . I'm heading out now, you guys; this cold, wintery air and falling snow is doing absolutely nothing for my sensitive skin."
The others watched her go before turning to face one another and nodded, determined looks scrawled upon each girl's visage.
"Right! It's 'Spy Time,' girls!"
YYYYYYYYY
While gracefully leaping from atop building to building, Eternal Sailorjupiter could not see any form of activity in the slightest down below, leaving cause to believe that she was getting very close to the thing, or things she was in current pursuit of.
This is getting pretty boring, though . . . if I don't get some action soon, I'll
Sailorjupiter's thoughts cut off abruptly while landing with ease upon the building in front of her, and looked down to see a shadowy figure lurking about in front of the doorway of a closed supermarket from across the way.
Narrowing her eyes in suspicion, Eternal Sailorjupiter quickly scaled down the side of the building with great stealth and began to make her way towards the impending culprit, her fists clenched in avid anticipation.
It's now or never, she thought to herself as she broke into a fast sprint towards her target, her balled fists beginning to glow a warm emerald.
"Jupiter . . .! Oak . . . Evolution!"
"What the ! Ahh!" cried the figure, still shrouded in darkness as Jupiter's attack of green electrified leaves sailed at an alarming rate towards its mark.
The attack just barely missed the individual as they quickly dove and rolled out of the way in the nick of time, the potentially lethal deployment instead making impact with one of the windows of the supermarket, shattering it to millions of unrecognizable pieces.
Eternal Sailorjupiter lightly cursed under her breath as she skidded to a halt a few feet away from her target, fists still emitting its eerie green aura.
"Stand up and fight me, coward, and face Death with honor!" Jupiter spat, taking a defensive stance from underneath a brightly lit streetlight.
"Whoa! Okay, that was so uncalled for! This is the last time I let those so called 'teammates' of mine allow me go through any crazy idea I might come up with next!
H hey, you! Ever hear of the word 'rude,' much before? Or, very tacky dressed? What're you supposed to be, some 'Neighborhood Watch Patrol' or something?" the shadowy figure chastised, slowly picking themselves from off of the cold, hard ground.
Sailorjupiter concluded that she had been wrong in her presumption of the person having been male, judging by the high pitched, whiny voice that was now wafting nosily through the night air. However, as for anything else, like what was just spoken, that was an entirely different story.
Whomever this person was, enemy or not, she clearly was not a native, making the given situation very hard for the Senshi of Lightning to navigate through.
Hesitating for a moment, Eternal Sailorjupiter lowered her fists to her sides as she took one step forward towards the foreigner.
"Nani ka? Wakarimasen . . ." she stated uneasily, arching an eyebrow.
"If I didn't understand you two seconds ago, what makes you think I'd be able to now! Speak English, will you!" exclaimed the girl, taking a step forward herself into the light to at last reveal herself to her attacker.
Sailorjupiter gasped involuntarily as she took in the sight before her. If this girl was an enemy of hers, she certainly had a unique sense of attire on, different from the other enemies or youma she'd faced in the past.
This one, with her long black hair gradually becoming white from the falling snow, had on a mysterious looking fuku in the color of purple, while a plum colored heart shaped metallic backpack rested upon her back.
Great, now I really can't tell if she's an enemy or not . . . I can't understand her, and she clearly can't understand me . . . ugh, why didn't I finish taking that English class? Time is of the essence here, though, so . . .
"All right! Don't move! I don't want to hurt you, as you so obviously want to do to me, but I will if provoked! Now, how does this stupid gizmo work again, any ack!"
Eternal Sailorjupiter quickly leapt out of harm's way as her opponent launched a bright orange laser beam in her direction from a gun like projectile, slightly resembling a hair dryer to Jupiter, that was now within her hands.
"Well, that settles my indecision to strike back! I don't care if you can't understand me! You'll be able to understand the pain I'm about to deliver to you right . . . now! Sparkling . . . Wide . . . Pressure!" Eternal Sailorjupiter exclaimed, generating a menacing looking energy bolt of lightning in between her hands, hurling it at her enemy.
"Ahh! This isn't exactly what I had in mind when I said I'd remain behind on patrol! Saaammmmy! Cllllovvver! Anybodddy! Help meeeee!"squealed the purple fuku clad girl as she took off at a fast, desperate sprint away from Sailorjupiter and her still sailing attack.
"Hey! Get back here and fight!" Eternal Sailorjupiter spat vehemently, charging after her down the street, losing sight of her briefly as she turned a corner, though her continued shrieking cries gave the senshi a general idea of where her target was.
You can run, but you can't hide . . . I'll teach you to endanger my city . . .
YYYYYYYYY
"Ugh . . . this is like trying to find a needle in a haystack . . . I don't even know what I'm supposed to be looking for," Clover muttered to herself while walking along the nearly deserted streets of the area, shivering slightly as a large gust of frigid wind caressed her creamy cheeks.
"Sure wish I could find an open store or something to get out of this freezing, miserable weather right about now . . . well, better hurry up and see if I can't find anything here before meeting back up with the others . . ."
Unzipping her backpack, Clover pulled out her pair of Scanner Sunglasses and put them on.
Stopping in her tracks, she looked up and down the snow covered alleyway, trying to detect any sign of abnormality.
After a few minutes of scanning the area with no luck, Clover sighed in frustration as she turned around, about to put away her glasses when something rustling in a corner immediately caught her cautious eye.
Instantly raising her guard, Clover slowly crept towards the lurking shadow, taking on the well praised and world renowned stealth like abilities of a feline as she prepared to attack or capture whatever the owner of the dark cascade happened to be.
"Hold it right " Clover half exclaimed, sucking in a gulp of cold air as her light blue eyes rested upon the very thing she had been emulating up until that moment.
"-- there . . . y'know, if you're gonna be about the only kind of activity that'll stir around here tonight, my furry little Japanese friend, then I'm turning in," she commented, picking up a small black cat, scratching underneath its soft chin as it emitted a tiny, curious meow in response before suddenly letting out a frightened hiss.
Nearly dropping the ebony colored feline, its green eyes glittering in the dark alleyway where they both stood, an icy williwaw of wind blew against Clover's back viciously, causing her to drop the apprehensive feline and fall face first into the still falling snow.
". . . Thif . . . if po mot . . . my BAY!" mumbled an exasperated Clover incoherently into the snow before rolling over and brushing some of the frozen water from off her now chafing cheeks.
"Oh! Great, now my face is cracking and so completely beyond dry! I swear! The next time Jerry tries to send us to an icy climate for a mission, I'm just gonna say " Clover abruptly cut herself off as her soft blue eyes met with a pair of shiny silver orbs belonging to a seemingly reflecting naked body of a woman of the same color.
". . . What the ? I think I might've found what's causing this area to be so 'ghost town ish!' Ahh!" exclaimed the WOOHP agent as the mirror bodied women suddenly let out a screech and launched a barrage of shattered mirror shards at her, rolling out of the way at precisely the right moment to avoid the deadly pieces from slicing into her delicate and well pampered skin.
"Woo! Now that's what I call a 'close shave!' All right, you . . . you . . . whatever you are! You messed with the wrong WOOHP agent! Time to kick your "
"-- Venus . . . Love Me . . . Chain!"
An unfamiliar female voice, speaking in Japanese Clover could not understand, suddenly sounded from behind her just as she pulled out her X Powder from out of her pack to de materialize her disguise; however, a mysterious looking chain that appeared to be made primarily of golden hearts had snugly wrapped itself right around her waist and began pulling her back and away from the mirror bodied culprit, causing her to drop her communicator in the process.
"Hey! What're you doing? I'm the 'good guy!' Attack that thing, not me!"
As Clover struggled to break free from her newfound bindings, the creature looking on in slight and momentary confusion at the current developments, the newcomer from behind her spoke again, this time in slightly broken English.
". . . Speaku . . . Engulish?"
"Hello? Of course I can speak English! I'm speaking it right now, aren't I? Now, let me go!" Clover replied, her normally maintained mannerisms temporarily leaving her as annoyance rapidly began to take its place.
Whether or not the young woman could understand the spy, however, the golden chains suddenly vanished as though on cue and by magic, at last freeing her.
Spotting her fallen X Powder from a few feet where she lay, Clover swiftly rolled over to it and quickly pressed the button that would cause her cherry red spy suit to embody her.
"There! Finally! Okay, first let me take care of that . . . thing over there, and then I'll deal with . . . you . . . whoa."
Trailing off when her now red gloved finger extended toward the young woman as she at last gazed upon her for the first time since her arrival, Clover's mouth hung slightly open as she took in the attire worn by her.
This other woman could have passed for the spy's twin, had the woman's hair been far shorter in length and didn't trickle all the way down to slightly past her buttocks; or, had her eyes reflected a lighter shade of blue to match Clover's.
She wore, perceived to be by to the spy, a white leotard or body suit with white gloves leading up the elbow to match; a short orange skirt and back bow of the same color resting in the back; a sailor like collar matching in color with the rest of the ensemble, while a dark blue bow rested underneath it; an orange choker with a sun golden star placed firmly within the center; and a golden tiara adorned with another gold star on it fixated itself upon her forehead.
Clover stood a moment, speechless, as her eyes tried to process the sight for her brain to properly digest.
What is this? Did she just come from a Halloween costume party? Only a few months too late for that, but all righty then, Clover wondered in curiosity before at last speaking, licking her lips beforehand.
"You know, if I wasn't about to kick yours and 'Miss Sunshine's' butt over there, I'd so totally ask if I could borrow those shoes and choker trés migonne! I'd have to change their color though orange totally makes me look fat and blotchy.
Oh! And I'd definitely eighty six the tiara, and maybe sport a slightly smaller bow if I had to wear one at all, for sure . . ." Clover submitted, for a moment completely forgetting where she was and why she was there at all, as she began to then launch into a fashion fueled daze.
What the hell is this girl carrying on about? Man, do I now wish I hadn't fallen asleep in or skipped English class so often last term! Oh, well! She's not my immediate problem, anyway although, that weird henshin she'd just performed a few moments ago was sort of "extraordinary . . ."
Anyhow, I gotta take care of this youma, and bring this girl to safety before meeting back with the others, the skirt donning blonde quickly reasoned silently to herself, offering the other woman a faint, crooked smile in sheepish politeness before taking a step forward towards the now retreating creature.
"Not so fast, foul demon! You can't just show up here, attack this poor, helpless girl with a . . . motor mouth full of words I sadly cannot understand at the present moment . . .
Hmm, maybe that's why you tried to attack her at all kept talking too much and gave you a headache like she's now giving me . . .
A anyway! You can't just do all that and then leave without trying to take a stab at me! Now, where's the fun in that?" Clover heard her state, although of course still unable to understand, however succeeding in bringing her back to reality and her current calamity.
"Huh? Oh! Right! Gotta kick some butt! Fashion consultation will just have to wait!"
Quickly pulling out her laser hair dryer, pointing at the refulgent female resembling monster, Clover smirked smartly.
"Now, then! Wanna try that shard throwing trick on me again, toots?"
The glinting woman, lightly sweat dropping in massive confusion, suddenly let out a frustrated screech while deploying another attack of mirror shards, inadvertently complying with the young spy's challenge and managing to knock the hair dryer from out of her gloved hands.
"Oops! I didn't actually think you'd contest me! And what is this: 'Knock the very important and aiding mission items out of Clover's grasp' day! Argh!" the red bodied agent exclaimed in exasperation as both she and the other woman present rolled out of harm's way.
"Venus!"
Without warning, a strong honey orange colored aura began to emit from and envelope around the outstretched white gloved palm of the white leotard wearing blonde as she extended that same arm to her right.
A gentle, confident smile caressed her glossy lips as she nonchalantly tossed a few strands of hair over her shoulder with the same glowing hand, then winked at the demonic creature before lightly kissing that hand briefly.
Clover, at first believing that she had stumbled upon some sort of love scandal between the two as she watched the slightly taller blonde's actions, quickly abandoned the silly notion as her light blue eyes watched in awe-struck amazement while a small, although rapidly growing in size, golden heart formed from the previously embraced spot upon the girl's palm.
Recoiling that arm back a little as though about to throw something violently, the woman's delicate simper widened just then as she suddenly shouted about the only other thing Clover had been able to understand from her since having first met (although still just as confused, as she could not quite fathom why she would say something so ridiculous) besides her "Venus!" exclamation from just moments before.
". . . Love . . . and Beauty . . . Shock!"
"Wow . . ." murmured the WOOHP agent breathlessly while watching the heart shaped attack propel itself from the mysterious and apparent enchanted woman's gloved hand as she aggresively extended her arm back out and towards her target, who instantly shattered into a million pieces upon impact, never having stood a chance against such a deployment.
Panting slightly from exhaustion, the formation of the attack clearly having taken a lot out of her, Clover watched the taller blonde faintly smile at her with assuredness a moment before slowly inquiring with a surprised hint of uncharacteristic fear laced within her voice,
". . . Who . . . what are you?"
YYYYYYYYYY
"Are you sure it's the Tokyo Tower area the youma were spotted, Mars chan? I don't see any anywhere, and it's been a good solid twenty minutes! This hunger isn't gonna just cure itself, y'know . . ." Eternal Sailormoon complained, rubbing her increasingly growling stomach for emphasis.
The Fire and Lunarian senshi had been patrolling the area for, as Moon had stated, a large significant amount of time now, with no such sighting of any impending threat to the vicinity, leading the blonde Princess to believe that her clairvoyant protector might have heard wrong from the news broadcast about youma sightings there.
Eternal Sailormars exhaled slowly, trying to maintain her concentrated calm while continuing to cautiously lead the way down the deserted streets towards the square.
"For the billionth time, Moon chan, yes! I don't know why we haven't seen any around yet; however, then again they've all probably decided to congregate at the tower itself, which is where you and I are now headed."
"Well, yeah, but why are they here, if at all, in the first place? I don't understand; I mean, what's so special about Tokyo Tower to these youma?" Eternal Sailormoon queried with tired luster, her stomach's rumbling by this point going into overtime.
Eternal Sailormars' thoughts instantly traveled back to the earlier news coverage of the fearless man who had only several hours before jumped from the very same tower and miraculously survived. She did not truly understand why youma would be there, however she was willing to bet that if they truly were then it was probably somehow connected to that man's bought of foolish bravery.
"I don't know, Sailormoon; but, that's what we're trying to find out . . . although, hopefully we won't have to . . ." she commented, murmuring the last bit to herself as the two trudged on through the icy falling snow that had no normally freezing effect upon them while in their senshi guises.
"Okay, but let's hurry up, already I'm starving!" Eternal Sailormoon exhaled in exasperation.
So long as it's only hunger pains that will be the only form of discomfort to befall you tonight, Princess, then I could die happy this very moment, the miku san thought warmly to herself as a small, gentle smile crept upon her fair visage.
After several more minutes of walking, at last reaching their intended destination, as expected, there was a rather large gathering of youma at the base of the city's tallest tower, all resembling young women with shimmering, naked bodies that looked . . . awfully familiar . . .
"You were saying, Moon chan? Let's go!"
"Gomen! Hopefully the others are all right, and will make it here short "
As Sailors Mars and Moon began to run ahead towards the impending battle, a bright, unrecognizable orange beam suddenly shot above their heads, abruptly cutting through the air as well as Sailormoon's sentence as it did so.
The two senshi watched in confusion as the beam connected with the chest of three unsuspecting youma, shattering them into pieces.
"Um . . . did . . . you do that?" Sailormoon asked in bewilderment, scratching her head.
"Iie, Moon chan; she did . . ."
The two girls turned around in time to see their comrade, Eternal Sailormercury fast approaching with a young woman they could not identify in a peculiar yellow tinted sailorfuku and carrying in her gloved hands what appeared to be a . . . newly fired hair dryer.
"Nani? What the ? Who the ? How did ? Huh?"
Sailormercury giggled softly at her leader's righteous stammering before explaining.
"There's not enough time to get into in depth detail, but I'd run into this young woman while on patrol, who was apparently doing the same; and while at first there had been quite a few discrepancies between us, both believing the other was an enemy, it turns out that she and her four other friends were sent here to aid in the removal of these youma."
"That's right! I'm one of the good guys!" the mysterious girl with short black tresses concurred in relatively fluent Japanese as she switched her hair dryer into her other hand, a cheesy smile forming upon her face.
"And from the looks of it, those . . . things are not good, since they're heading right this way!"
Having no time to properly digest the new information the Senshi of Ice had just bestowed upon her two friends, Eternal Sailors Moon, Mars, and Mercury quickly assumed defensive stances, Sailormars and Sailormercury placing themselves protectively in front of their future queen as they all braced themselves for the first attack made by the Tokyo Tower youma.
"Mars . . .! Flame . . . Sniper!" Sailormars exclaimed, wasting no time to allow any more youma to get any closer before they could effectively harm any of her teammates, quickly summoning her strongest Marsien attack, a fiery bow and arrow within each hand, and fired the lethal projectile towards her foes.
As Mars' attack obliterated several youma in its direct path, Eternal Sailormercury quickly turned to the newcomer, hands glowing a faint but growing blue aura.
"Go, on! My friends and I will cover you!" she stated in perfect English to the girl, who merely nodded before running ahead, a determined frown riddled across her face.
"After seeing these girls in action, Jerry has so got to update the WOOHP gadgets in his inventory! KI AI!" she steadily commented to herself before performing a front, aerial somersault and abruptly connecting her right yellow boot with one of the many youma's chests, shattering it to pieces.
"Although, on second thought, I'd say that I've got things pretty much under cont Ahh!" the girl roughly fell over as two new youma toppled her from behind, an eerie cackle emitting from them both while preparing to sever her unflawed neck with their sharp, shard like nails.
"Hey, 'Reflector Face!' Two against one isn't a really fair fight! What say you let me and my pal, Brittany here, in on it and have it three against two, making it a fair fight for us? Brittany, now!"
Suddenly a familiar voice broke through the air and the yellow fuku wearing girl instantly looked up to see two girls in green and blue attired much like her own and with red and black hair, respectfully, hovering directly above her as jet packs strapped to their backs helped to keep them aloft.
Before either youma could react, each face was instantly shattered upon impact from a sharp roundhouse kick delivered by the girl in the blue fuku, referred to by the red head as Brittany.
"Sammi! Britt! Boy, am I ever glad to see you guys! One more second and I would've been turned into 'Alex Kabob' for these . . . extremely weird monster exhibitionists!" the formerly distressed girl exhaled in relieved gratitude as she roughly pushed the headless bodies of her attackers off of her, quickly rising to her feet while her two obvious friends landed on either side of her.
"Well, we're just glad we'd made it in time to help! We'd run into a few of these creatures along the way here, as well -- and some were heading away from the tower while the majority we'd encountered were on their way toward it," Brittany explained, idly kicking the now immobile body of one of the defeated monsters.
"Yeah, and we figured that if we didn't get here before you or Clover did, you'd definitely need some back up . . . although, apparently, you'd already found some . . . who are they, Alex?" inquired the red head as she and the other newcomer at last noticed the three skirt donning young women, knee deep into the battle while deploying mysterious looking attacks that seemed to be summoned from within and coming from right out of their hands.
The yellow fuku clad girl referred to as Alex smiled weakly.
"Actually, that's a very long, very confusing story, Sam; one I still don't quite understand, to be honest. However, needless to say, they're not our enemy; these creepy 'chicks' all around us are, and those chicks need our help in taking them out! Now, let's do it, girls!"
Lightly sweat dropping in confusion, both Brittany and the other now known as Sam merely nodded in compliance before following their friend towards the three mystery women and back into battle.
"Minna! There's too many for just the three of us, and perhaps even Alex san if she's up for it to handle! I've calculated about fifty or so left to defeat! We need Jupiter and Venus chan's help!" Eternal Sailormercury revealed, pinching her right earring to cause her blue visor to vanish from off of her face for the second time that evening, preparing to launch yet another attack.
"Just hang in there! We have to keep hime sama safe! I'm sure they'll show up any "
" You guys miss me? The beautiful and talented Sailorvenus chan, reporting for duty, and bringing along a newfound friend to help out! Demo, it seems to me you've already found a couple of your own friends! Should I be jealous?" Eternal Sailorvenus suddenly called from behind the three tiring senshi jokingly, accompanied by a girl who looked very much like her, save the shorter hair and red attire similar to the girl named Alex's.
"Sammi! Al! Britt! You're all right! No thanks to Mandy, who's probably napping somewhere while still safe and sound in the front . . . if she's even still in the country!" the girl exclaimed in English, her face instantly lighting up as her light blue eyes rested upon the three familiar faces of her friends, rushing ahead to meet them.
"Venus chan! You made it just in time! We could really use all the help we can get but, how do you know that girl? How did oh, never mind! We'll hear the unedited version later! Now, all we need is Jupiter chan, and then we'll be set!"
Right then, as if on cue, the affable, slightly husky voice of Sailorjupiter could be heard coming around the way through an alley to their far side, shouting a string of obscenities the senshi were not even aware their comrade knew existed, as another extremely high pitched voice lead the way, managing to somehow reach a new octave.
"Stop running, will you! You're only making things harder on yourself! Jupiter . . . Coconut . . . Cyclone!"
All eight heads present paused in their battle a moment and turned in time to witness an electrified, circular projectile sail through the air at an alarming rate, barely missing its intended target, a young woman dressed in a purple fuku mimicking the four newcomers' attire present, as it instead made explosive impact with a few trash bins.
The forceful collision immediately lifted the bellowing young woman from off of her feet, and caused her to careen head first into a soft patch of snow ahead of her.
"Oh, my God! Mandy! C'mon, guys! We have to go help her out of there!" The one known as Sam exclaimed, igniting the heart shaped jet pack upon her back, about to fly off, leading the way as her other apparent comrades began to follow suit . . . save one.
"Clover! What're you doing? Let's go!" Sam instructed urgently, taking notice, hovering above the still immobile blonde, who merely exhaled slowly before finally activating her own jet pack and instantly becoming eye level to the red head after kicking off firmly from the ground.
"What? I was merely weighing the pros and cons of helping out that screaming banshee yet again! Didn't I warn you that she was a menace to bring along on missions? Like we have a choice, sadly . . . ugh!" the girl whose name revealed to be Clover rolled her eyes in a disgusted, exasperated fashion as she whizzed off ahead of her trio of friends and reached their fallen teammate first, whose backside was high in the air as she flailed her arms and legs around in blind desperation to break free.
"Mmph! Mmph!" she cried out in incoherent, muffled screams deep within the snow as Clover grabbed a hold of her legs and roughly yanked her out and up of the snow bank, rising higher into the air carefully with her body.
"Once again, I'm saving your hide, Mandy! Might wanna start showing me some respect, or else I'll have to drop you . . . literally! Although . . . ugh . . . geez, what'd you eat before leaving? Aerobasize, much?" Clover grunted, carrying the both of them back to relative safety (considering their current, given surroundings) and back alongside her teammates.
"What happened, anyway? I thought you were on look out!"
"Oh, thank you so much, Clover! You rescued me from that . . . that brute!" the violet eyed young woman named Mandy responded through hysterical tears, her normally high pitched voice becoming higher still as each tear and word were shed.
"And I was on look out not to mention 'looking out' for any Japanese hotties that might have passed to keep me company, since I always look so cute in this outfit "
" 'This outfit?' What happened to your schoolgirl disguise?" Alex asked in confused suspicion as she landed softly next to Brittany.
"Well . . . I had it on after you guys had left . . . but after standing around in this blistering cold for only five minutes, I kinda sorta deactivated it . . .
And that's when that . . . demon of a woman came out of no where and attacked me! But, now I'm finally safe and sound with . . . my . . . friends . . . what is going on!" Mandy trailed off, mouth open agape in perpetual fear while her violet eyes narrowed significantly as she then took in the sight around her for the first time, instantly missing and even preferring the chaotic chase with the mysterious young woman she'd had to endure up until then.
Leaping to her feet, Mandy quickly cowered behind Clover, wrapping one arm around her waist for protection while extending her other out in front of them.
"W what're those? Who're they? Oh, my God! They're one of her! The brute who kept chasing me! Ack! Here she comes! Hide me!"
While the four girls tried their best to calm their emotionally distressed friend, Eternal Sailorjupiter suddenly came charging towards the scene, plowing through youma after youma in her path while heading over to her own friends, not yet noticing the others.
"Are you all right, minna? I see you've found the youma, successfully; why are there so many all of a sudden, and where'd they come from?" Jupiter queried, panting in exhaustion, hunched over and catching her breath.
"We're uninjured, Jupiter chan, demo, we could use all the help we can get. These youma, while fairly easy to dispose of, are still a lot in number and give us little time in between to recuperate before the next onslaught," Eternal Sailormercury revealed, having just finished firing off yet another attack, panting slightly.
"Well . . . why not join forces with those girls, Mercury chan? I mean, you ran into one of them, who managed to explain to you that she nor her friends are enemies; and, the one I'd met more or less did the same, after having to go through a very awkward and at first difficult process to at last convey the notion.
And now that Jupiter chan's had her fun in chasing their leftover comrade for Kami only knows how long no, she isn't an enemy, sorry, Jupiter chan we can finally finish this job! So, what do you say, minna?"
"Whatever ideas the five of you ladies have to get out of this mess, the five of us will most assuredly back you up! However, please forgive us for eavesdropping as well as the lack of proper introductions at this time," Brittany suddenly addressed to the Sailor Senshi in more fluent Japanese than Alex had conveyed earlier as she and her friends approached, bowing politely in respect.
Clover grunted lightly as she and Mandy trailed behind, the nervous girl still clinging tightly around the blonde's middle, frantic tears welling up within her eyes once more while Eternal Sailorjupiter folded her arms and glared daggers at her.
"Will you . . . just . . . let it and me go, Mandy! To be honest, I can't rightly blame her for attacking you; knowing you, you probably said something insulting about her appearance or wardrobe or something . . ."
"Excuse me! How dare you accuse me of something like that, not to mention turn against your fellow WOOHP agent like that!" Mandy exclaimed dejectedly, tears vanishing right on the spot as burning, resentful rage replaced it, instantly releasing the formerly slow paced young woman.
"Because, I know you wouldn't give it a second thought to doing the very same thing to me if given the chance!" Clover shot right back, the two of them beginning a heated bickering round that seemed almost ritualistic between the two to the Sailor Senshi.
Suddenly, a loud whistling rang through the air, effectively ceasing the vivacious bantering of the two women.
"Guys, please! There will undoubtedly be time to argue later! Right now, we need a plan to get rid of these . . . creepy looking women-thingies! These girls here obviously have some pretty awesome arsenal within them, so maybe if we coupled that with the gadgets Jerry gave to us, then maybe we'll be able to take these creatures out all at once," Sam scolded, lowering her fingers away from her mouth after successfully drawing everyone's attention upon herself.
"Brittany, do you think you could relay what I'd just said to them? My Japanese is kind of rusty; and, tell them "
" No need, miss; I understood you perfectly thankfully my English is not so . . . 'rusty' as you colorfully referred to your Japanese as," Eternal Sailormercury interrupted, smiling politely at the red head as she took a step forward, bowing.
"If you'll forgive my rudeness, perhaps you will permit me to implement the idea I now have stirring within my head? With the ten of us working together, we should be able to defeat these demons all right; however, there are still far too many to try to take out one at a time. We would surely tire out at a faster rate.
Therefore, what I was thinking was, if we all attacked at once, together, with whatever . . . 'gadgets,' as your friend had stated, you might have, alongside mine and my friends' innate abilities, then I have the utmost confidence we would emerge victorious for sure."
Pausing to consider the notion, Sam and Brittany's brows both furrowed in deep contemplation.
". . . That seems very doable . . . but, I'm not entirely sure the gadgets we have with us would be able to pack the desired punch we're looking for," Sam revealed, scratching her head lightly as Brittany then spoke up, eyes suddenly lighting up as a new prospect dawned upon her.
"Wait, a minute! I've got it! If we all use all five of our 'Tornado in a can Hair Spray' canisters all at once and in the appropriate vicinity, it should then create a large enough vortex that would immediately suck in everything in its nearby trajectory like a vacuum "
" And that would definitely take care of these creepy looking walking mirrors! But, there's a few problems with that idea, Britt: first, exactly where would be a good spot to fire them off that wouldn't cause any immediate harm to us, this tower, or anything else unfortunate enough to get caught within its path? And two, who's going to be the 'Brave One' to pull the trigger?" Alex questioned, raising a yellow gloved finger to her chin in deep contemplation while her friends, including Eternal Sailormercury (the only one among the Sailor Senshi currently able to fluently understand the current happenings), all gazed at her with twinkling, implying eyes.
Catching on, Alex quickly began to try to talk her way out of it as she massively sweat dropped, shaking her short tresses violently.
"Ohhh, no! No, way! It's bad enough these creatures freak me out enough as it is, now you want me to go risking my neck by literally submerging myself right into the 'eye of the storm?' Forget it!"
"Aww, come on, Al! There's no one else brave enough to do it amongst us besides you! Plus, you're also the most agile! I know you can do it! All you have to do is get as many of the creatures' attention as you can, and as soon as we give you the signal, use your jet pack to get out of harm's way before pulling the pins off each can! Nothing to it!" Clover tactfully encouraged, knowing that laying on the extra butter on her flattery would do the trick in convincing the younger girl to take on the "solo" and possibly dangerous mission.
Exhaling in defeat, Alex extended her hands, waiting for her friends to pile their gadgets into them before leaving them.
"I so don't get paid enough for this," she mumbled under her breath while walking backwards slowly, waiting to be told precisely where to place herself as bait.
Eternal Sailormercury reached up and pinched her right earring for the third time that evening, summoning her analytical visor before her eyes, and immediately began running diagnostics upon the surrounding area that was slowly but quickly closing in on them as the youma began to corner the ten of them against the tower's base.
After a few more precious moments had passed, she quickly called out in English,
"There! Over there by that fountain, Alex! Make sure you are precisely five steps in front of it before drawing the demons' attention upon you! We'll take care of the rest!"
"Got it!"
While the lone young woman immediately took off towards her designated spot several yards away, the remaining women began to prepare for the final blow that would hopefully end their never-ending battle, it certainly felt like.
After quickly explaining the plan to her fellow senshi and hearing Alex's taunting remarks being thrown out into the air and towards the apparently pea brained youma, who very easily took the bait, instantly forgetting about the formerly trapped young women they'd held within their clutches, Eternal Sailormercury nodded with determination towards her new comrades as both of her hands began to glow blue for what felt like the umpteenth time that night.
"Ladies, I suggest you all stand very close to one another and remain on guard, as it is about to become quite difficult to see your own hand right in front of you . . . Alex! Just focus upon and listen to my voice, all right?" the Senshi of Ice called out, waiting to receive a slightly distracted and apprehensive answer from the rapidly youma surrounded girl a good ways in front of her.
Exhaling slowly, Sailormercury closed her eyes as she began to concentrate upon the innate power held deep within her, mustering up what little strength she had left to summon her next attack while her friends did the same on either side of her.
"Shabon . . . Spray!"
The four newcomers watched in amazement as the atmosphere instantly became foggy and misty, their sight drastically cut in half as they now understood why the enchanted young woman had advised that they remain within arm's length of one another.
"All right, Sailormoon chan! Do it!"
"Hai! Come on, minna! Altogether, now! Moon . . . Tiara . . . Magic!"
"Mars . . . Fire . . . Ignite!"
"Jupiter . . . Thunder . . . Dragon!"
"Venus . . . Crescent Beam . . . Smash!"
All at once the very exhausted Sailor Senshi released their attacks, gingerly collapsing to their knees while they and the other young women all watched as the fire, thunder, and passion charged attacks immediately melded together before magically enveloping their newfound form around Sailormoon's now sailing tiara, fortified with mystical Lunarian energy.
Just before making its intended mark, Eternal Sailormercury quickly called out to the still waiting girl across the way before sinking to the ground herself in fatigue,
"Now, Alex!"
Not needing another invitation to remove herself from the increasing danger zone, Alex quickly activated her jet pack as a youma had then reached out to tear into her pant's leg, lightly bruising her in the process, and rose straight up into the air.
"Ow! Hey! Oooh, that's it! You're toast!" she exclaimed in anger, pulling the clips from all five cans at once and immediately dropped them straight down towards the baffled youma the same time the senshis' combined attack made impact.
Quickly flying away and as best as she could through the fog from the dangerous area as fast as she could, Alex did not dare chance a look behind her to see if their plan had worked. Instead, she settled for the screeching sounds of exploding formerly whole demonic women combining together with the deafening sounds of the devastating vortex she'd played a hand in creating.
Letting out a satisfied scream, Alex promptly cut off her engines as she allowed herself to be caught by her awaiting friends before crashing into them as they came into clearer view, rolling off of them thereafter.
"See? No sweat!" she grinned tiredly as the mystifying fog began to clear up, revealing to the ten remaining women that they had indeed succeeded in eliminating every youma that had been previously inhabiting the vicinity, the area now resembling a war zone.
"Is it over? Can I finally get something to eat now?" Eternal Sailormoon whined without missing a beat as though the entire ordeal had never occurred in the first place.
Her protectors merely giggled wearily at the display as they slowly began to rise to their feet with the help of their new friends. They had long since learned that nothing, no matter how gruesome or terrifying, would ever get in their future queen's way of successfully satisfying her bottomless pit of a stomach.
Eternal Sailormercury, clearly having been made unofficial speaker and translator for the group, bowed towards their assistants in the night's strenuous battle, smiling graciously.
"Thank you from the very bottom of our hearts for your help, everyone! Because of you, we came out victorious, and our city is now safe once again!"
Brittany and her obvious teammates all smiled warmly at the blue haired senshi, including Mandy, who was too exhausted at that point to render any sort of shrewd remark.
"It was our pleasure! Whether we'd run into you or not, we would have still protected the city, as we were sent to do in the first place."
"Right! And I gotta say, with awesome moves like the ones you just pulled, I highly doubt our having come to your aid would have made much difference either way! How did you do all that, anyway?" Alex complimented, returning the senshi's gesture by bowing back briefly, winking.
"Well, you see "
"-- Guys, look out!" Sam suddenly called out as her green eyes noticed a straggling youma approaching from behind the unsuspecting Sailor Senshi.
Before anyone could react, a small but fierce ice blue laser beam shot into the air and over their heads towards the top of Tokyo Tower, causing a large mound of snow previously caked upon it to avalanche itself down onto the youma's body, burying as well as crushing it considerably.
As the snowy dust cleared and settled, the snow fall at last beginning to let up, all eyes turned to appropriately gaze upon Clover, who merely carried an even expression of contentment upon her face as she gingerly began to apply what appeared to be red lipstick from a golden tube before capping it.
Taking notice of the nine girls' surprised stares, she blinked rapidly in confusion before responding,
"What? My lips have only been forever chapped!" she grinned cheesily as she put the tube of lipstick back into her heart shaped back pack.
--End of episode three
(A.N. Wasn't that fun? Yeah, I know: kinda lengthy, and kind of confusing in some spots with a lot of dialogue that both you and/or I care to deal with, but yep. That's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. LoL And I know! "Cliffhanger? C'mon!" ESPECIALLY since this is the last episode I will be able to post for a little while. However, never fear! I'll be back with much, much more for you to enjoy:Dances: HeHe Although, now I'm QUITE sure you're all like, "Wait! How does Alex, of all people, know Japanese?" or, "How WERE Minako and Clover able to let each other know they weren't each other's enemies?" Shh . . . shh . . . all in due course, kiddies HeHe
Now, lemme address a few things before someone leaves a review pointing it out to me and since I'd already know about it, that'd be pretty pointless to do LoL. First off, as I'd said, I'm sure this eppie might have gotten a tick confuzzling for you to sift through, right? My guess would be because one minute it's Sailor Senshi P.O.V. in the third part once they and the Spies finally met, and then it seemed to be Spies' P.O.V., right? Okay, well, one thing you should probably know or understand about yours truly is that if I write something that has two sets of people involved all at once, as in, in one "scene" together, I usually like to go back and forth between his/her/their point of view. So, in other words, the last part with the whole battle scene and everyone coming together, it was still and always in the Sailor Senshi's perspective hence my being all, "the red FUKU clad girl," or "the red head explained" or whatever, rather than just being all, "the red clothed girl" or "Sam explained" and stuff. Cuz yeah, I'm writing it as though it is the first time they'd laid eyes upon the Spies which, clearly, it was and so therefore didn't know what was what. Oh, and by the by, fuku's just "uniform" so no confusion there, please. HeHe But yeah, if I still managed to confuse you on all that, sorry:Falls over:
What else . . . oh, right! Some of you might be like, "Why were you like, 'Venus . . .!' or 'Venus!' with the whole exclamation bit?" Yeah, well . . . that one's really no bigger, actually, except that whenever I'd watch the series, Super S in particular, they'd always be like, "Mars!...Flammmmmmme Sniper!" on me and stuff. LoL You know, like how I described Sailorvenus when she did her "Love and Beauty Shock!" attack: the whole extending the hand out to her side and her Venus sigil and golden star sparklies would appear upon it after she exclaimed, "Venus!" and then of course going through the attack, blah blah. So yeah, while my so called "explanation" might be pretty winded, it's pretty simple: I just always liked the way they'd say it minus the stretching it out as I'd depicted up there with Mars' attack, although that was more of an American Dub thing that they did that and so when I wrote this eppie that's how I heard it in my head and so therefore wrote it. HeHe
By the end of this episode, I'm sure some of you relative to extremely hardcore "Moonies" are probably wondering, "Heyyyy...those youma...they sound AWFULLY familiar..." Eeeeeeyep. Yep, they do, don't they? Maybe you should consult with Rei chan, since she was thinking the same thing too when she and Usagi first encountered them. LoL Now, your next thought after this is probably, "Okay, then! So then why'd you do that, for?" Welllllllllllll...wait and see. HeHe Oh, and to the rest of you who've either a, never watched a single Sailormoon episode, or read the manga in which case, Totally Spies would be your key motivation in journeying here to read past episode one of my story b, watched the series but either don't remember or just didn't get to see the particular season I'm depicting the Sailor Senshi aspect after, then never fear! All shall be revealed in due time, my children . . . mwa ha ha haaaaa . . . Okay, sorry. Watched too many zombie movies last night, so I've still got the evil "mojo" working for me here LoL
Let's see what else . . . Right. I know some of you might ask about the Japanese phrases I might have used in here . . . however, I currently cannot recall having used that many. I told you what "fuku" meant, so that takes care of that . . . "minna" just means "everyone," um . . . the suffix "chan" merely means or is used commonly for one you'd regard as a close or pretty well known friend . . . "hime-sama" simply means "Princess" . . . Oh! Right! "Nani ka? Wakarimasen;" almost forgot about that one. LoL That was just Mako chan basically saying to Mandy, "What was that? I don't understand (you)," is all. Imagine if I had made her ask something like, "Do you speak Japanese?" Now that would've been a field day for some of you readers eh, Yuki? HeHe And also, I know some of you are like, "There's no such word as 'Marsien;' it's 'MARTIAN,' dingbat!" True. However, whenever I write Sailormoon ficcies I can never bring myself to refer to Rei-chan as a "martian" for whatever reason, so I say instead "Marsien." I dunno, it just sort of "flows" or would be something you could picture the people of her home planet and kingdom to be referred to as, y'know? LoL Oh, right, and I got tired of just saying "Moon senshi" all the time as I sometimes would in old stories I'd written as a kid that I refuse to ever post for the public's viewing –- because they're that horrific LoL So, again, instead I refer to Usagi-chan as a "Lunarian senshi" if at all. Got me? Yay! HeHe
Anyhow, speaking of readers, it's now time for me to reply back to the pertyful new reviews I'd received since my last post:Dances: Okay, then:Clears throat:
Dark Magician 41: Thanks for yet another . . . "colorful" review. LoL So, you bet that Tim Scammy pammy's the main baddie in this fic o mine, huh? Yeah, well, I'll raise your confident apparent bet and see you a "maybe!" So, ha! HeHe
Yuki3x3: Could your particular review have been any more cute? I swear! I could just eat you up! HeHe If I had a fan club, I would make you the President of it in heartbeat LoL You keep on, keepin' on with these awesome reviews, and I'll keep on, keepin' on with the future eps! Deal? HeHe Oh, and you're very welcome for the translations! If you have any more inquiries about 'em, just e mail me should you like!
Mat49324: Thanks very mucho, again, for the point of error about my "G.L.A.D.I.S." spelling. Call it a brain fart, if you will. LoL Although, it's pretty ironic that I'd written that "she" was on "vacation" at the end of episode two that just me being lazy and didn't feel like writing "her" in at the moment, and so making her get repaired by WOOHP techies LoL – and then BAM! "She" apparently gets blown up or whatever in last night's extremely disappointing, boring, and semi pointless TV movie eppie . . . I must be psychic. Dun dun frickin dunnnnn LoL Or, as Minako chan would say, psycho. Either way, it works for me HeHe Oh! And if you still are confused about the whole "world" of Sailormoon or just that epilogue, no sweat cuz "all shall be revealed in due course," my very eager about Totally Spies new friend. LoL
SimmyC: Last, however, certainly not least! Y'know, I've found myself growing quite fond of you, as you remind me a little of Roger Ebert, the way you'd left those vastly long reviews for me in the previous episode. LoL However, since I'd already replied to your review with my own for your kickin' "Silent Titan" fic – everyone, go read it if not already HeHe – I don't have very much to say to you specifically at said moment. Oh, except, a thousand apologies if I seemed excessively "grr'ed" by your review however, I'd already explained myself in my review to you, so there's no need to flesh out week old "drama" right now or if it seems I dislike you or what have you. One, how can I when I don't know you and vice versa, and two, PLEASE. LoL But yeah, SO no hard feelings in the slightest towards you or any of you future reviewers who might leave a flame or two my way, although am I not describing Simmy's comments as such, of course and thanks again for the billionth time for leaving a review and reading past episode one of my ficcie! HeHe
Was that it? Am I done? I SO hope I've addressed all I'd wanted to, because I don't rightly feel like coming back to see I'd left something out, and moreover, seen that someone left a review all about it, with "corrections" or something involved. Hmm . . . nope! I'm set, I should like to think! And so, I shall now take my leave of you until next we meet which is, I don't know when, but hopefully soon! In the meantime, if you can't wait any longer for episode four to come out, by all means, DEFINITELY do what cutie pie Yuki's been doing, and check out my other stories I've written and posted here! Speaking of: hey, Yuki! Chapter three of my Harry Potter X'over fic should be up and running pretty soon, so watch out for it! HeHe
Well, miss you; love you; thank you; thinking of you fondly; and, hoping and praying that you all leave MASSIVE reviews for this episode and my other stories, as well! HeHe Mwa!)
