Sorry for the hiatus, guys. School and Coronavirus prevented me from continuing, but this fic's not dead! So, here's Chapter 3
(in the girl's changing room, Sakaki (already in a yellow bikini) sitting on the bench)
Sakaki: (in her mind) The yamapikarya's in me and the painted bunting's in Tomo, so what other Red Data Animals are there?
(Tomo (who's wearing an orange bandeau bikini top( with a halter strap connecting at the middle of the bandeau) and jeans) shows up and sits next to Sakaki)
Tomo: Chin up, Sakaki. You know that our job is to find Mew Marks on potential teammates, right? Well, this is our chance to find those teammates! Now, let's see what we got… (sees Chiyo in a pale yellow two-piece kiddie swimsuit) Nope…(sees Osaka in a pink one-piece swimsuit) Nah…(sees Yomi in a light purple bikini) Maybe, but nope! (sees Kagura in a navy blue bikini top about to unbutton her jeans) Aha! (runs towards the tanned tomboy and grabs her breasts) Where is it, where is it?!
Kagura: Moron! What are you doing to me?!
Tomo: I'm… checking for rashes in your skins!
Kagura: Rashes, why?
Tomo: I… got no reason?
Kagura: Did you just… lie to me?
Tomo: (bluntly) Yep.
(Outside of the changing room, Tomo(now fully changed into her swimsuit and gotten a black eye) walks towards Sakaki.)
Sakaki: So, found any Mew Mark on Kagura?
Tomo: Nope.
Sakaki: Why?
Tomo: Because for two reasons: 1. Kagura's tanned parts of her tan are so bronzed that it's hard to distinguish bronze from red, so I only able to look at the school swimsuit tan lines. 2. Looking at the tan lines is easier said than done.
( At the pool, the students are lined in front of their P.E. teacher, Minamo "Nyamo" Kurosawa")
Nyamo: Okay students, all of you must do stretches and…
Mr. Kimura: Go to the gym in your swimsuits!
Sakaki and Tomo: AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH! (Sakaki's cat ears and tail pop up, and Tomo's painted bunting wings and tail pop out as well)
Kaori: Miss Sakaki, why do you have cat ears?
Tomo: It's nothing, Kaorin! It's nothing!
(The students stretch and jump into to the pool, thougth Osaka jumped in with a sea horse ring floaty)
Sakaki: Tomo, we have to get Mr. Kimura away from us.
Tomo: Well, duh. I mean, if our teachers and friends found out about our secret, then Ryou will fire us, and I won't get my pay rise!
(Sakaki spot Kagura swimming faster than normal)
Sakaki: Tomo.
Tomo: Yeah?
Sakaki: I had a feeling that Kagura is our next teammate.
(Cut to the cafe)
Tomo: What? Sakaki, I tried to look for Kagura's Mew Mark, but the only thing I found was the pain of being punched.
Sakaki: But, when I found you, your Mew Mark glowed, like it's signaling that you were my teammate.
Ryo: That's the other reason why you girls have Mew Marks.
Sakaki and Tomo: Huh?
Keiichiro: What Ryou is trying to say is that your Mew Marks act as a beacon.
Tomo: What do you mean "act as a beacon"?
Ryou: When under stress, your Mew Mark will glow, and Monpichi here can also detect the light that emanates from the mark… so-(hear the doorbell ring) Oh, we have some customers.
(Kagura enters the cafe)
Sakaki and Tomo: Welcome to Cafe Mew Mew! How can we serve you?
Kagura: I just want to sit down and have some pastry or something.
Tomo: Then I'll guide you to your table!
Kagura: You look sorta familiar… Aren't you the girl that groped my boobs during P.E.?
Tomo: No, no, no, that girl's Tomo. I'm… Tomoko! (points at Sakaki) And that's Saki!
Kagura: So, what's the difference?
Tomo: Tomo's much shorter and less endowed than me, and Sakaki's much taller and buster than Saki.
(In the background)
Ryou: Is she trying to conceal her identity from another person she knows?
Sakaki: Yes.
Ryou: Well, that's smart for her!
Sakaki: I wouldn't put my fate on Tomo yet, she's still a Knucklehead.
(Back to Tomo and Kagura)
Tomo: So, Kagura, what do you want?
Kagura: A slice of carrot cake and… Wait a minute! How did you know my name?!
Tomo: I… uh…(runs towards Keiichiro) Akasaka-kun, can you serve up a carrot cake and an energy drink? I think Kagura's trying to expose me!
(Keiichiro picks up a plate of carrot cake and a bottle of energy drink, and walks towards Kagura's table)
Keiichiro: Mademoiselle, here's your order.
(Kagura blushed as she sees the dreamboat Keiichiro)
Kagura: Uh, thanks.
(after Kagura eats and pays, she leaves)
Tomo: Hey, Sakaki. Isn't Kagura there when the injection beam hit us two days?
Sakaki: She was there.
Tomo: So Kagura's… a Mew Mew.
Ryo: Don't jump to conclusions, girls. It'll be best to let her be.
(Afternoon become night and Kagura( now wearing a light purple tankini top and skirtini bottom) is in the school pool, swimming until she spots Mr. Kimura)
Mr. Kimura: Kagurin, why are you swimming in the school pool… at night?
Kagura: I don't know, weirdo. Two days ago, I was a normal girl, but after that earthquake, suddenly I'm jumping into the nearing swimming pool. Suddenly, I'm wearing my most modest swimsuit (seriously, this spaghetti strap tankini top covers up until the top of my belly button) in public.
Mr. Kimura: Kagurin, this is California, nobody's going to notice the wardrobe change. (gets closer to Kagura) And that swimsuit is acceptable in the school's dress code.
Kagura: Just get away from me.
Mr. Kimura: Okay. (walks away) Stupid Kagurin not giving me the goods…(a black gas surrounds him and he smells it) Hmm, where do these noxious fumes come-
(Cut to the Fujiwara family's Japanese-style mansion, where Sakaki (in a blue kimono and her long hair in a single braid) is putting foxtails in her ikebana.)
Monpichi: Kimera Alert! Kimera Alert!
Sakaki: Where Monpichi?
Monpichi: The School! School!
Sakaki: I better call Tomo.
(at the school gate, Sakaki meets up with Tomo (who is in a Japanese female police uniform))
Tomo: Sakaki, I came as fast as- (sees Sakaki in a kimono) Wow, going traditional, eh?
Sakaki: No time for jokes, Tomo; there a Kimera in the school.
(Cue a searching montage where Tomo and Sakaki are searching around the school, which ends with the two finding Kagura in the pool.)
Tomo: Kagura! What are you doing in the school pool, during the night time, and…(sees Kagura coming out of the pool) in a skirt! (rushed towards Kagura and hugs her) Finally, you're acting like an actual girl!
Kagura: Tomo, why are hugging me? and why are you two here?
Sakaki: We're looking for the Kimera Anima that Monpichi detected.
Kagura: Kimera Anima, Monpichi... Ok, what's going on?
Tomo: Well...
(Suddenly, a large figure arises from the pool, revealing to be a Kimura/Cthulhu hybrid)
Kagura: Oh my god.
Kimu-thulhu: HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS!
Tomo: AH! Mr. Kimura's a Cthulhu-eques Kimera Anima, and we're a bunch of underaged high school girls! Oh-no, I watched enough adult anime to know where this is going.
Sakaki: Tomo, we got to transform!
Kagura: Transform?
(Tomo and Sakaki put out their Mew Pendants)
Sakaki: Mew Mew Raspberry…
Tomo: Mew Mew Fruitcake…
Both girls: Mew-tamorphose!
(A light engulfs the two girls, blinding the Kimu-thulhu and Kagura in the process. When the light fades, the two girls are in their Mew Mew forms)
Tomo and Sakaki: With full gratitude, we'll be of service!
Sakaki:-meow.
Kagura: That moron and Sakaki-san… are magical girls?
Kimu-thulhu: MAGICAL HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS!
Tomo: Sakaki, I have a bad feeling that our magical girl outfits aren't helping us in this situation!
(the Kimu-thulhu tries to grab the girls in his tentacles, but the two Mew Mews jumps and summoned their weapons. The Kimu-thulhu however, slams the two into the water)
Tomo: Hey! That's not fair! Ugh! I'm getting out of here! ( flaps her wings, but is not lifting off) Huh? Why am I not flying?!
Kagura: You moron, your wings soaked so much water that they became heavy, and therefore you can't fly!
Tomo: Thanks a lot, Kagura. And to make matters worse, the Kimura Anima is going after you!
Kagura: Huh? (sees the Kimu-thulhu coming close to her) AAAHHHHHH!
(Suddenly, a pair of whale-shaped scars on Kagura's chest starts to glow, blinding the Kimu-thulhu in the process)
Kagura: What's going on?! (sees Monpichi flying towards her) What in that-
(Monpichi projects a hologram of Ryou)
Ryou: Yushiro Kagura!
Kagura: How did you know my name? And, who in the hell are you?!
Ryou: No time to explain! Monpichi's got something for you.
(Monpichi opens its mouth and spits out a golden pendant with cerulean marking)
Kagura: (grabs the pendant) Okay, so what do I do?
Ryou: Say "Mew Mew Aoimo, Mew-tamorphose."
Kagura: Alright. Mew Mew Aoimo…(One of Kimu-thulhu's tentacles grabs her leg) MEW-TAMORPHOSE! (gets pulled into the pool and seemly drowns)
Tomo: Kagura, NOOOOO!
Sakaki: (sees a patch of light in the pool) Wait, Tomo, I don't think Kagura's dead.
(the water bubbles before Kagura jumps out of the water and lands on the fence)
Tomo: Whoa, Kagura, you look...amazing.
Kagura: You think so?
Tomo: Well, just look at your reflection.
(Kagura jumps down from the fence and walks towards the pool, seeing her moonlit reflection. She's now wearing a cerulean swimsuit-eques leotard with a fin-like showgirl skirt, arm puffs, garter, chocker, translucent fingerless gloves, and knee-high boots. She now bears two grey-blue antennae that reached to the ground and a blue whale tail. Her hair (sideburns and hair antennae in all) is now the richest shade of Prussian blue (along with her eyes) and while it's still short, it's now accompanied by a low set wrapped ponytail (split at the end and wrapped by a powder blue accessory) that reached towards her hip.)
Kagura: So I'm a magical girl?
Sakaki: Yes, Kagura.
Kagura: Awesome! So, what powers do I have?
(the Kimu-thulhu tries to grab the newly transformed Kagura, but she lets out a whale-like mega scream, deafening the Kimu-thulhu in the process. Kagura then covers her mouth and blushes. The Kimu-thulhu then tentacle-ropes Kagura's legs and drags her to the pool. Underwater, Kagura tries to grasp for a breath, but then she opens her mouth and didn't drown.)
Kagura: Huh, I can… breathe underwater? That's awesome! (see her legs and blue whale tail glowing) Gyaa! What's going on?!
(Kagura's legs and tail fused, becoming a single mermaid-eques tail)
Kagura: Did I just become a mer-whale!? (swims so fast that the Kimu-thulhu tentacle lost its grip on her and breaches out of the water.) THIS…. IS… AWESOME!
Tomo: (sees Kagura jumping out of the water.) Kagura… with a mer-whale tail?! HOW, WHY, BUT, NANI!
(Kagura swims around in circles, confusing the Kimu-thulhu in the process. She breaches again, this time at a higher height than before.)
Kagura: Aoi-stanets!
(Two cerulean castanets manifest and Kagura grabs them)
Kagura: Reborn...Aoimo Rush!
(Two whale-shaped torrents of water surround the Kimu-thulhu, turning him back to his normal, perverted self)
Mr. Kimura: Hmm, what happened to me? Why Fujiwara, Takino, and Kagurin are in nice outfits? And why I'm above the-(falls) POOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL?!
( Kagura grabs Sakaki's and Tomo's arms, dragged them to the pool's edge, and situates herself and her friends on the edge)
Tomo: Kagura, that was awesome! How did you defeat the Kimura Anima and survived?
Kagura: Well, my legs became a mermaid tail, and…
Tomo: Wait, Your legs became a mermaid tail?!
Kagura: Well, I better turn back. (her tail glows as it turns back into legs and a blue whale tail) After all, while I love swimming for days on end, I don't want Coach Kurosawa to see me with a mermaid tail.
(Next morning, in Cafe Mew Mew, Kagura is seen in her cafe uniform ( same with Sakaki and Tomo, only with blue ribbons) and Ryou and Keiichiro are...impressed.)
Keiichiro: Mademoiselle Kagura, you look very nice in the uniform…
Kagura: (blushy madly with her antennae and blue whale tail out) Uh, thanks, It's just that I feel so weird wearing a skirt.
Sakaki: Kagura, you look cute.
Kagura: Thanks Sakaki-san! (runs towards Sakaki and hugs her)
Tomo: Tsk, love birds. So, Shirogane-kun, what Red Data Animal Kagura's infused with?
Ryou: The Blue Whale!
Tomo: Blue...whale? Huh, on the height, Kagura doesn't look like one, But on the bust size….
Kagura: Hey! Stop staring at my chest, moron!
Tomo: Look, you in that maid outfit is going to attract more men than girls!
Kagura: Moron! Stop pointing out my giant breasts, they're just there!
Sakaki: Wait, what happened to Mr. Kimura?
(cut to the school pool, where Nyamo sees Mr. Kimura in the pool)
Nyamo: Mr. Kimura, Why you're in the pool?
Mr. Kimura: Don't know.
To be continued
Author Notes: So not only Kagura's infused with the DNA of a blue whale (thus becoming a mermaid) but she's a lesbian. (I'm a strong supporter of the Sakaki x Kagura ship, do fight me) Also, on land, Kagura has a blue whale tail (just to be consistent with all of the girls having animal ears (in Tomo's case, wings or in Kagura's case, antennae) and tails) Another thing this chapter introduces the running gag of Tomo pointing out either Kagura's boobs or tan lines and Kagura punching her. And Mr. Kimura's the MOTW of this chapter... makes sense in context. Deviantart commissions of the day are: Kagura as Mew Aoimo (both land and mermaid form), the trio (Sakaki, Tomo, and Kagura) in their maid uniforms (with their animal parts out), and the current trio as Mew Mews
So, read and review!
