Zimmy
xxxxx
Sitting and lying in wait, I sat down behind a bush, resembling an all-green humanoid with large purple eyes. This is Zimmy, soon-to-be future ruler of this disgusting and human-infested dimension. I was there to witness the downfall of Lord Zagato's organization. Just when we had this dimension at the palm of our hands, these 'heroes' suddenly rebounded and stopped what was deemed 'unstoppable'?
No, I won't accept this. I WILL NOT! THOSE CURSED HEROES WILL PAY DEARLY FOR THIS!
But, if I am to rebuild Lord Zagato's organization, I intend to enslave the very same heroes who thwarted our incursion. And I have just the means to pull off such a feat.
Feh, even so, I still can't believe these Earthers were responsible for the demise of the Arcadian Cross! Who'd believe a group of humans and metas would bring down a seemingly unstoppable force. Have they abandoned me? Am I the only one left behind in this world? What am I do to to pay back those who have denied us of conquering this dimension? Lord Zagato, I, Zimmy, vow to reestablish the Arcadian Cross movement and I will conquer in their name!
However, for this to become a reality, I must acquire the services of followers. How should I gain followers to preach the good name of Lord Zagato and rebuild our establishment? Very easy. With a gadget I've concocted, I can gain loyalists to turn over to my side. This gadget will be the key to my ascension to world domination!
Sitting in a bush, I veered my direction across an endless sea of sand and a crowd of Earthers passing along by. I shrunk myself down to the size of a rodent while concealing my presence from these monkeys. My hand held gadget, looking like a small remote control, also doubled as a scanner that locks on and traces strong energy signatures. The device has managed to pick up a large gathering of energies clustered together. Yes, my lucky day! I have a lock on those blasted do gooders responsible for the collapse of my lord's established movement!
I managed to slip on by as the area was clear of people. Like a small rodent, I slid through a hole inside a small confinement building, which I would discover was the excrement facility! Almost wanting to vomit, I slip out another hole and ended up back outside where a large gathering of Earther women were seemingly taking pictures together. I quickly climbed up a tall pole and jumped on a tree whilst getting a clearer view. My device was immediately picking up the same energy signatures before.
It's them! After taking a minute to analyze their energy readings, the profiles and faces match exactly with the warriors that defeated Lord Zagato and our entire organization! This simply cannot go unpunished! Ah, yes, these are all the wretched Earther women who fought my fellow Arcadian comrades. And the majority of them are those Sailor witches! But, wait... why destroy them? I simply can't let potential weapons of mass destruction go to waste. I must acquire their services and I can with my gadget, which can fire mind control collars and put any one I so desire under my control.
Yes, wouldn't it be an ironic twist of fate for the Senshi to help rebuild what they carelessly destroyed?
SWEET VENGEANCE IS MINE!
Enslaving the Sailor Senshi and their female colleagues... simply perfect. And I preferably want female slaves as they are easier to control. It'll even be sweeter when I turn them against their own male colleagues. Oh, I'm going to have a lot of fu...
"GAAAAAH!" I howled as the branch I held onto snapped and I plunged into some bushes.
Overhearing my cries, Serenity turned around and blinked twice. "Huh? Hey did you hear something?"
"You must be hearing things, Serenity," added Minako. "I didn't hear anything."
"Must've been some idiot falling off his skateboard," Makoto replied as she stood beside Minako and adjusted her top.
"C'mon, guys! Get together for another group shot!" Mai called out to all the girls from the hero groups for an all-girls group shot.
Shaking the leaves off my face, I poked my head through and scanned the girls in their revealing attires. I pivoted my view toward one in particular and scanned the boisterous blonde-haired woman with my scanner.
Huh, she seems to be the take charge kind. Heh, in order to get by undetected, I can take her body and use her like a puppet to ensnare them with the mind control collars. Perfect, Zimmy! You're a mad genius!
Suddenly, I felt something prodding my back side. I merely backhanded whatever was behind me until it prodded me again. Irked, I turned around and came face to face with a large brown cat staring at me. The large mammal's face conveyed a sinister grin, much more eviller than mine. This creature is sending off ominous vibes. Judging by the look in its eyes, its hungry. Perhaps it wants to eat me?
Striking as quickly as a thunder strike, the cat swallowed me up and slurped its mouth. However, I quickly seized control of the cat from the inside and controlled its very actions. I led the cat forward and prowled near where the Earther women finished taking this group picture, which I had little interest with. I watched the blonde-haired woman and stalked behind her. Now all alone in a shack, I moved right in and cautiously approached the woman, who was busy scanning the stupid pictures in her camera. With her back turned, I moved right while still controlling the cat like my marionette.
Before long...
"Hey, Mai!" A group of voices abruptly startled me and forced me to go into hiding. Hiding behind a trash can, I watched as two girls. One had a peculiar hair-style, almost like meatballs and blonde hair. The other had long, dark hair. According to the profiles I pulled up from the archives, I have these two identified as Usagi Tsukino/Sailor Moon and Rei Hino/Sailor Mars. Gah, I should acquire one of their bodies instead! Oh, what to do!
"How did the pictures come out?" Usagi asked Mai, who showed them the pictures. "Oh, those are cool group shots!"
Rei nodded, gazing over the woman's digital camera. "And they're going to look good up on our blogs."
"I'll be more than happy to share after I post them up," Mai offered as the two girls left her alone.
Drats! They left too soon! Oh well, no use crying over spilled blood. Taking a human body is better than being inside a cat! Here goes!
"Meow."
Slightly startled, Mai turned around and saw the brown cat walking up to her.
"Oh, well, aren't you a sweet thing?" She smiled and knelt over to pet the deceptive feline.
Unbeknownst to her, I was watching her from within this dirty animal! All right, time's a wasting!
"MEOW!" The cat hissed as it gaped its mouth and expelled a green ball of light toward Mai.
"Wh-What's this?" The woman yelled, gaping her mouth wide enough for the green ball to enter her. As if blasted by a gunshot, she fell back and sunk to her knees. Shaking her head, she groaned until an evil smirk adorned her face.
Ah, success. Now I've got a hold of her body. Yes, now if memory serves me right, this woman is Mai Valentine.
Gazing over the newly acquired body, I chortled darkly and stood while examining myself. "Feh, can't believe how disgusting these Earthers look with such indecent attire. Still, it's better than being inside that furball." I snorted and scared the cat off. "Ha! Yes, run you coward!" I laughed out loud. In my right hand, the remote control appeared and I grabbed it. "Ok. How shall I go about building my new loyalist army? I can lure them out while in this body and tell them to meet me here?"
"Mai? There you are!"
Once again taken by surprise, I turned my head and saw a girl with a gentle disposition and long orange hair. I recall she's profiled as Serenity Wheeler, a wielder of a unique spiritual power called Spirit Fusion. Yes, she'll make a perfect slave!
"Serenity," I said, using the woman's voice to respond to the young girl. "What's up?"
"I've been looking for you! Joey wants you to put suntan location on his back."
"Couldn't you do it for him? I'm busy right now."
"Well, I..."
I openly smiled and put an arm over Serenity. "Listen, Serenity. Can you do me a favor?" I ran a hand over the girl's shoulder and down her chest. "Would you faithfully serve me to rebuild our empire?"
"Huh? What are you saying?" The pitiful naive girl looked at me like her friend was going to seduce her. "Mai..."
Swap.
With a press of a button, a collar shot out of the device and attached itself around Serenity's neck. The girl's face conveyed an emotionless and mindless demeanor as her eyes turned yellow. I turned Serenity around as she stood obediently and bowed before me.
Yes! Success! The mind control collars work!
"I am here to faithfully serve and rebuild the Arcadian Cross," droned Serenity as I folded my arms and smiled devilishly.
"Excellent, my slave. Your first mission will be to help me lure more of those Earther women here. We need to build a bigger army if we're to conquer this dimension."
Serenity nodded obediently. "Yes, Lord Zimmy."
I smiled and proceeded to walk Serenity out until I heard footsteps running behind us. I turned as I saw a tall brunette running from a corner near us. I beckoned over to Serenity to hide behind the bushes and turned around. Keeping the device hidden behind my back, I saw the brunette woman approach me. If I recall, this one is identified as Makoto Kino/Sailor Jupiter according to the profiles we've acquired. Excellent, the first Sailor Senshi for me to enslave!
"Mai, am I able to see those pictures you took of the group?" Makoto asked as she looked at me rather awkwardly. "Um, Mai? You ok?"
"Just fine, hun," I answered while handing her the camera. "Knock yourself out and look." I slowly turned my head and signaled to Serenity with a nod. "Hope you like them, Makoto."
While Makoto was preoccupied with the camera, Serenity sneaked right up behind the tall woman. Taken aback, Makoto nearly stumbled forward as Serenity surprised her with a full nelson hold. Makoto frantically looked over her shoulder and saw Serenity behind her, applying her hold tightly to restrain the strong woman.
"Serenity! What the hell are you doing?" Makoto shouted while trying to throw Serenity off her back. The more she struggled, the more Serenity tightened her hold. What surprised Makoto more was the smaller girl suddenly managing to overpower her. "Mai, tell her to quit playing around! Hey, are you listening?"
I chortled and walked right up to the defiant woman, who looked at me fiercely. "You have impressive strength for an Earther woman. I'll need it if I'm to make my army strong. I'll need a capable foot soldier." With a flip of a switch, another collar shot out and attached around Makoto's neck.
Before falling under my control, she took a swing at me, but I merely sidestepped the fierce woman and kicked her face. I quickly put my foot down on her back and nonchalantly folded my arms triumphantly, watching as she succumbed to the mind control. She stood and faced us, wearing the same mindless expression Serenity had a minute ago.
"Lord Zimmy, how will I serve you?" Makoto replied in a drone-like manner.
"Today, my slaves, we begin by rebuilding the Arcadian Cross from scratch. I'll need you help to build our army. Will you help me?"
Serenity and Makoto both nodded obediently as her eyes glowed yellow.
SUPERB! With these two by my side, I'll have them round up more slaves to make our army stronger than it's ever been! My goal, first and foremost before rebuilding the Arcadian movement, will be to capture and turn the Sailor Senshi over to my side! They will help usher in the revival of the Arcadian Cross. Oh, Lord Zimmy has a nice ring to it. I'm getting goosebumps. It's only a matter of time before I conquer this world in the name of Lord Zagato and all he stands for!
Smiling evilly, I beckoned to my two slaves. "Let us find the other Earther women and lure them here. Follow me."
"Yes, Lord Zimmy," Makoto and Serenity answered without question.
It didn't us long, but we've managed to lure in and turn a few into slaves. Between using this woman's wit, Serenity's kind nature, and Makoto's brute power, we used our greatest strengths to lure and capture a decent number of their friends to be branded with the mind control collars.
The next ones to fall in line: Christina Denton/Sailor Orcus, Kohana Kuroshishi, Taylor West/Sailor Eris, Jami Waziri/Sailor Ixion, Minako Aino/Sailor Venus, Jeri Katou, Felinismon, and Izumi Orimoto. Just now, my dear slaves brought in another.
"Guys! What is the meaning of this?" Ami Mizuno demanded as my slaves pushed her into the ladies' restroom where I fired and watched the collar take control of the blue-haired girl.
Ami responded like the mindless slave she's become. "...Lord Zimmy, how will I serve you?" She bowed before me.
Giving an evil coy smile and twirling a lock of my puppet's hair, I chortled. "Oh, ho, ho, next we begin by making a statement and luring out the rest of them in the open." With that, I walked out as my slaves followed behind me and marched toward the beach shores. Bystanders gawked and looked at us like we were on a mission. The device traced an assorted gathering of energies in one vicinity. I beckoned to my enslaved warriors as we marched to where those no good fools gathered.
It didn't take long for us to arrive at where our enemies were. I turned and viewed the area, noticing Usagi Tsukino and Rei Hino with all their friends in an open area. They all turned and noticed us standing out in the open in assembly.
"Guys! Where have you all have been?" Takato exclaimed.
Usagi asserted. "We've all been looking for you!"
Suddenly, Rei was the first to note something was off about 'us' and heatedly faced our direction.
"What's wrong, Rei?" Rika asked.
Yusuke frowned as he, too, sensed a weird vibe coming from us. "Something's wrong with them."
"You're right, Yusuke," Rei replied as Hiei appeared by her side. "Before when me and Usagi went to see Mai, I sensed a weird vibe, but regretfully ignored it."
"Then, we'll correct whatever it is," Himura said as he stood and looked toward Jeri. "Jeri?"
"Ami-chan! Minako-chan! Mako-chan!" Usagi called out to her friends, unaware they've been put under Zimmy's mind control collars. "Get over here!"
"Guys, look!" Kuwabara pointed out the obvious new accessories the girls wore around their necks. "Last I checked they weren't wearing those!"
"Collars," Yui said. "And Kohana's wearing one!"
Cammy asserted. "Mind control collars?"
I openly smirked and laughed, twirling the device in my hand. "Oh, ho, ho! Finally figured it out, have you?"
"MAI! SERENITY! What the hell is this all about?" Joey demanded as he, Morpheous, Seto, and Lyn arrived.
Morpheous called out, noticing Serenity amongst the enslaved. "SERENITY!"
"Oh, Joseph Wheeler, you really have no idea, do you? I've taken your girl's body and I'm going to use these slaves behind me to help me rebuild the Arcadian Cross organization!"
"Arcadian Cross?" Henry cried.
Balling up his fists, Takato rebuked. "You mean we missed one of you?"
"Guess one of them slipped under our radar," scoffed Takuya as he called to his girlfriend. "Izumi! Snap out of it!"
"AMI!" Vega roared as he rushed head-on toward until Ami threw herself in front of me and kept the stubborn fool at bay. "What are you doing, Ami?"
"She's protecting her new lord and master, idiot," I remarked as my other slaves slowly moved in toward the beach. I quickly fired blasts from the device and forced onlookers to retreat from the area. The last thing I want are bystanders getting in the way. I'll deal with them later after I've gathered enough slaves from this bunch. "So, do you think you have enough courage to find your own friends? Oh wait, I forgot... they aren't your friends anymore! They're mindless slaves fit to serve only me and help advance the Arcadian Cross!" As I laughed, a ball of sand hit my face as I nearly choked on the sand that went in my mouth. "GAH! ACK!" I coughed and spat out the disgusting sand from my mouth.
I raised my head as my opposition grabbed sand off the ground and flung it at my direction.
"Enough! You're getting this body all dirty!" I screamed and covered my host's body from the sand balls.
"How dare you take control of our friends and possess another one of our friend's body for your sick ambitions!" Karin shouted as she, Tyra, and Helena arrived at the scene.
Usagi pointed toward my direction. "Let them go and we'll let you off easy!"
"Heh, no chance! You want a war, then you've got one!" I declared as I beckoned my slaves to bumrush and engage our enemies. I smiled evilly while backing away and readying my device.
"Heads up, guys!" bellowed Kuwabara.
"We can't hurt them! Just go for knocking them out!" Yui said as she, Cammy, and Aoshi were attacked by Kohana. While Yui and Aoshi were handling Kohana, Cammy raced over and pulled Shingo over to safety.
Meanwhile, Ami shot forward and went for a kick at Vega. Makoto and Minako attacked Usagi and Rei. Serenity wasted no time as she forced Joey, Morpheous, Seto, and Lyn into combat. Mokuba barely intervened on his brother and friend's behalf to try to help them stop Serenity. Karin, Tyra, and Helena tried fighting off Taylor, Christina, and Jami. Takato, Rika, Himura, and Henry gave chase to Jeri and Sara across the beach as she lured them into the sea. Takuya, Kouji, Kouichi, Junpei, and Tomoki surrounded Izumi as they jumped in to grab her, but she gave them the slip and jumped over them. Guilmon, Renamon, Terriermon, and Inumon tried holding off Felinismon with combined efforts.
"Yusuke!" Keiko called out from behind the Spirit Detectives. Upon hearing her voice, they saw Keiko and Botan coming toward them.
"Keiko! Botan! You two get back!" Yusuke shouted to the girls.
With the two ladies out in the open, I snickered and fired two collars at them.
However, Yusuke and Kuwabara countered the collars' direction while batting them down easily.
"Not on our watch!" Yusuke snapped.
Suddenly, the collars sunk through the sand and crawled through underground. Then, they shot out through the sand and ensnared the two ladies.
"Lucky for me, the collars can still acquire their targets even when you try countering them," I chortled evilly and watched the two ladies standing with zombie-like trances. "New slaves added to my army."
"NO! KEIKO! BOTAN!" The former lead Detective watched in horror as he turned to my direction. "Turn them back!"
"Now, why would I do that?" I shrugged and then from the corner of my eye a green vine shot out to grab me. I barely dodged and backflipped out of harm's reach. I raised my view to see a red-haired man and a woman next to him. "Heh, almost had me."
Maya gasped as she saw Botan and Keiko with the collars across their necks. "Look, Kurama!"
"I'd advise you to surrender and release our friend's body," Kurama threatened while pulling back his thorn-covered vine. "And relinquish control of all our other friends. I will promptly expel you from that body through force if I must."
"Ooo, cold-blooded," I snickered while backpedaling a bit.
Wait, a minute. Am I really getting over my head here? I'm surrounded! They still have the numbers advantage over me and my army. Should I surrender...?
NO! I, Zimmy, will NEVER surrender to these pitiful Earthers! They should be bowing to me!
"SLAVES! TIME TO GET SERIOUS!" I called out as they ceased their fighting. "Unleash your powers and crush them all! Make sure the females are conscious for me to give them the collars! Hurry!"
With that, my slaves drew out whatever instruments and sources of power to transform into their warrior forms.
Ami turned into Sailor Mercury as she blasted Vega with a water blast. Once Makoto and Minako turned into Jupiter and Venus, they unleashed a barrage of lightning and heart beams to force Usagi and Rei to hide behind a wall. Serenity used her Witch of the Black Forest powers to force Joey, Morpheous, Seto, Mokuba, and Lyn away as they hid from her sight. Sailors Ixion, Orcus, and Eris transformed as they pursued Karin, Tyra, and Helena while launching their attacks at them. Jeri unleashed a psychic blast that knocked up some ocean water and repelled her Tamer friends away with it. Sara charged right toward Henry and landed a kick to his side. Izumi turned into Fairymon and used her wind kicks to knock her friends away.
"Yes, yes, yes! Get them, my slaves! Show them no mercy! Muhahahaha!" I thoroughly enjoyed watching the no gooders forced to fight their friends. Calling this entertainment is a mere understatement. Heh, ok, now to make my move.
"Keiko, Botan!" Yusuke called out as he and Kuwabara restrained them.
Kurama interjected. "Aim for those collars!"
"But, what if we accidentally hit Keiko and Botan?" Kuwabara roared.
As I advanced to where the remaining Senshi were hiding, Jupiter and Venus blasted the wall down. I noticed the tumbling wall as they seemingly uncovered nothing.
"Lord Zimmy, they've escaped," Sailor Jupiter said.
"Drats," I miffed, gripping the device in my hand. A raw mix of frustration and obsession filled my mind as I desired for a new body. "Find Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars, my slaves. I must acquire one of their bodies since this one doesn't have near as much power as I wanted. Find them quickly!"
Sailor Venus affirmed. "Yes, Lord Zimmy."
As my servants raced off to locate the two Senshi, I vividly surveyed the vicinity and saw the ongoing battles taking place. They can resist all they want, but this is my battle to win! When this day is through, my army will be complete and I'm on my way to reclaiming victory for Lord Zagato.
Once Serenity missed a beam, Joey turned into the Flame Swordsman and ran up to his sister. Serenity jumped back and forged a barrier.
"Serenity! Please, let me help!" Joey exclaimed.
"Allow me, Joey," Morpheous intervened as he put his hand through Serenity's barrier. After neutralizing her barrier, he tried prying the collar off Serenity, but the girl flew out of his reach and fired two beams that sent the two men sailing back. Morpheous somersaulted back and flew up to meet Serenity head-on. She narrowly flew out of Morpheous' reach. Then, incoming from behind, the Blue-Eyes Toon Dragon landed on Serenity's back and clawed at the collar controlling her.
"Lyn's got her, Seto!" Mokuba said.
Seto painstakingly observed Lyn ripping the collar off Serenity's neck. "She got it off. Those collars are what's controlling them."
On another side of the beach, Sailor Sedna, Sailor Varuna, and Sailor Quaoar engaged Sailor Ixion, Sailor Eris, and Sailor Orcus in a Kuiper Senshi battle royal. Sedna unleashed a barrage of icicles at Ixion, which the Poison Senshi countered with poison darts. Varuna tried catching Eris, but the Texan countered with a speed blitz and swerved behind Varuna in a second. Varuna whirled around as Eris blasted her with a gust of wind. Quaoar tried landing kicks to Orcus, but the Australian forged a shadow barrier to nullify the Senshi's rapid fire kicks.
"This is bad," Sedna said as she ceased her attack on Ixion. She watched as the Nigerian readied a few more poison darts. "We've trained and fought alongside together for a few years, we're already familiar with each other's battle strategies."
Varuna landed after being blown by Eris' wind attack. "You're right. Tell me, does our new cyborg friend, Angelia, know anything about this?"
"Why would she?" Quaoar wondered. "This thing doesn't seem to show any affiliation with her."
"You're right," Sedna observed, brandishing her ice trident. "This Zimmy thing that's possessed Mai claims he's doing this for Zagato."
Jeri descended where her fellow Tamers was laying on the shore. Sara approached Jeri as they set their sights on the Beast Tamers. Takato, Rika, Henry, and Himura struggling to sit up as auras outlined them.
"We've got to restrain Jeri, guys," Takato advised his teammates. "We just can't hurt her even if she's being controlled."
Rika gritted her teeth. "Yeah, but she has no problem hurting us."
"Jeri!" Himura called out to his girl. "Listen to me!"
"The only way to free her and Sara is to get rid of those neck collars!" Henry said.
Sara and Jeri closed right in to attack them.
"Right, guys! Let's call upon our Beast powers!" The Tamer leader declared as he turned into Suzakato.
Following Takato, the other three invoked their spirit animal powers and turned into Beast Tamers right away.
"It's a good thing Kazu, Kenta, and Suzie took Kiyoko somewhere safe," Suzakato said, setting his sights on Jeri and Sara. "We can cut loose."
"And I know just the way to do it!" Seirika cried out as she raised her hands and gathered water around her. Combining the wind and steady flow of water, she generated a force akin to a small hurricane, which leveled a section of the beach. She easily blew Jeri and Sara back. "Go after them, Henry, Himura!"
"Right!" Himakko and Henbu dashed through to catch the girls.
"You're up, Takato!"
"Firepalm Blast!"
Suzakato flew across as he fired two fireballs that hit their collars, which short circuited them and freed the two girls from Zimmy's control. Henbu and Himakko jumped in to catch their girlfriends before being carried off into the skies.
"WHAT? NO!" I screamed out, realizing a few of my collars had been destroyed. So, they've figured out how to destroy the collars. I can't let them get away with destroying more of my precious collars. "No! I will take back my slaves!" I pointed and fired toward the wind wielder's direction.
Then, two orbs of light seemingly came out of nowhere and intercepted the collar. I turned as I saw two more Sailor Senshi standing atop a lifeguard post. I recognized their outward appearances and recalled seeing their profiles. These two are identified as Haruka Tenoh/Sailor Uranus and Michiru Kaioh/Sailor Neptune.
"You've had enough fun. Time to end this," Uranus waltzed right toward me. "Get out of Mai's body and face us, coward."
"Coward? Me? Ha! More like a clever genius! You think I'm foolish enough to fight you on fair grounds? I don't play fair! I'll use whatever means to win!"
Using a mirror to see through my host's body, Neptune replied with a coy and sarcastic smile. "Then, perhaps we'll use whatever means to force you out of that body? Believe us when we say this..."
"...but, we don't play on fair grounds either," Uranus finished while brandishing a sword in hand.
"Feh," I quickly turned and bolted off across the beach.
"Get back here!" The two Senshi cried while pursuing me.
After giving them the slip, I hid behind a wall and watched as the two stopped to survey the area. Once they left, I slowly emerged and took a moment to collect my breath. This body isn't meant for combat, unless... yes, I just remembered this woman has a power called Spirit Fusion. Perhaps if I can invoke this power, I wouldn't have to resort to guerrilla tactics. Yes, I'll do just that! After delving into my host's memories, I recalled the incantation until... I was caught and found by...
"There you are!" Usagi and Rei said as they jumped out behind me.
Immediately startled, I nearly stumbled back and quickly backed off. Damn it all! I thought I lost them!
"You can't run from us now!" Rei said as she lunged right at me and tackled me to the ground.
"Hold her down, Rei-chan!" Usagi exclaimed.
"Whatever you are, get out of our friend's body!" The Miko Senshi snarled as she sat atop of me and grabbed my neck. Then, I watched as she pulled out a odd-looking white slip of paper. "One exorcism coming up."
"No, you don't!" I folded my host's legs around the woman's waist and landed a headbutt to her face.
As Rei stumbled back, I lunged at her and fell right atop of her. I secured both of her arms and pinned the weight of my host's body over her. Rei kicked and struggled to push me off.
"Rei-chan!" Usagi cried out as she grabbed me from behind and tried pulling me off.
While wrestling Rei down, I jerked my arm away and elbowed Usagi back. I leaned forward, burying and smothering my host's chest into Rei's face. I leaned forward to 'kiss' Rei and transfer myself over to the new body. Rei struggled to grab the weird paper that fell out of her reach. Unable to pry her hands out of mine, she found herself in a tight predicament and unable to kick me off until I felt something hit the back of my face and knock me off Rei. Usagi instinctively landed a flying kick, which surprised Rei.
"Whoa, where did that come from, Usagi?"
"Are you ok, Rei-chan?"
"Yeah, thanks," Rei said while grabbing her anti-seal parchment and readying it. "We've got to expel this creature out of her, Usagi!"
"Right, let's transform!"
Then it hit me. I invoked my host's powers as a golden sheet of light engulfed me completely. My host's revealing attire was replaced with a sleeveless armored top, purple armored pants, and green bird-like wings that doubled as arms and hands. A devilish smile adorned my face as I felt the power coursing through my host's body. An energy-imbued whip materialized in my right hand, which I brandished wildly. This power is incredible. Now to punish these two ungrateful women! The moment I raised my head, the two girls turned into Sailor Moon and Sailor Mars.
"Sailor Moon, he's learned to tap into Mai's Spirit Fusion power!" Mars warned her colleague. "We have to be careful if he's learned to adapt to her body!"
Moon nodded as she pulled off her tiara and prepared to throw it at me.
"Heh, don't think I'll let you get near me!" I laughed and flew into the air, throwing my whip toward them.
Moon and Mars offhandedly evaded the whip's reach.
"Damn," the Miko Senshi cursed, eyeing me as I kept my distance in the air. "He's using her Cyber Harpie Lady form and equipped with a Cyber Shield! She's much faster and stronger in this form."
"Nothing that we can't handle," Moon threw her tiara toward me. "Moon Tiara Action!"
I barely evaded the incoming projectile and dove down to attack them with my whip. Sailor Mars intervened and jumped right at me, firing a fire arrow.
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
With my whip, I batted the arrow aside and swiftly flew right into Mars. I pushed the dark-haired woman and smashed her into a tree.
"MARS!"
As Mars stumbled forward in pain, I chuckled with delight and slashed across Mars, cutting through her outfit. Moon hastily dashed with her tiara ready to throw. I took no chances and flew into the air, carrying Sailor Mars along with me.
"NO! MARS!" Moon cried out and invoked her Eternal form as she took off after us.
Glancing over my shoulder, I saw Moon was gliding closely behind us. Drat, she's fast and undoubtedly I don't stand a chance. Time to switch bodies. Then, before I could initiate the transfer, Mars threw the odd paper over my forehead and I felt my host's body seemingly forcing me out. Once we reached the beach, my host's body crash landed hard through a sand castle and I let Mars out of my hands. Mars sprang back to her feet as Moon landed next to her. As I steadily tried to cover, the host regurgitated and expelled me form her body. I fell out in a heap of vomit and slime whilst recovering. Once she became unconscious, I heard someone approach from afar. I literally flew across instinctively to whom approached. I flew and slipped right through the mouth of...
"Joey!" Serenity cried out as I had taken over Joey Wheeler, another wielder of Spirit Fusion.
I took over Joey and used him to attack the two Senshi. I quickly bumrushed Moon and Mars. They swerved away from my host's sword. Mars launched a fire blast from her fingers. I countered by swinging the sword, which imbued with flames and nullified both of our fire attacks. I swung my sword down again until a blue stream of light knocked the sword out of my hand. I turned to find Joey's colleagues, Seto Kaiba and Lyn, both in blue dragon-like forms. Suddenly, I felt a painful impact hit me from behind as I turned and saw Joey's friend, Morpheous, club me with both fists. I fell back and expelled myself out of Joey's mouth as I flew right into Moon's direction. Mars quickly countered and threw a fireball, which I dodged. Once hitting the ground, I stood and grew into normal human stature. My true form was revealed to those present.
"Curse you... CURSE YOU, SCUM!" I screeched whilst picking up the device from Mai's hand. "YOU WILL PAY!"
"We'll see about that, you freak," Mars snorted irritably. "You're finished."
Suddenly, Sailor Jupiter and Sailor Venus arrived at the scene with their collars intact. However, just as they tried to save me, two balls of energy collided behind them. I glanced across as Uranus and Neptune utilized their attacks to destroy their collars. Rio arrived just in time with Sailor Saturn.
UGH! THEY'RE RUINING EVERYTHING! WHY MUST MY SEEMINGLY FLAWLESS PLAN FAIL?
"No, no, NOOOOO!" I whined like a child, realizing that my plans were falling apart. I was losing my slaves after I worked hard to build up my army. "Blast you, Senshi! You're ruining everything I worked hard to accomplish!"
On the other side of the beach, Yui quickly got behind Kohana and kicked her in the back. As Kohana stumbled forward, Cammy dashed in and threw an ofuda, which binded to the collar. Yui channeled her spirit energy into the collar and the ofuda as the mind control device shorted out and fell off. Kohana collapsed and panted heavily, quickly coming to her senses.
"Guys...?" Kohana blinked as she looked around. "What happened?"
"You're back. That's all that matters," Aoshi reassured her. "Everyone! Aim for the collars!"
Guilmon charged right behind Felinismon and fired. "Pyro Sphere!"
"Diamond Storm!"
As Guilmon and Renamon's attacks hit their mark, they removed the collar from Felinismon and freed her from Zimmy's control.
Inumon hurried over to Felinismon's side. "Are you ok?"
"What the heck just happened?" The feline shook her head, trying to recall the last thing she recalled.
Terriermon joked. "Got a flea collar off ya, that's all."
I veered my direction to the far left to see Fairymon having been freed from her collar. Agunimon utilized a fire blast that pried the collar off her. As I alternated my view around, I saw that Sedna, Varuna, and Quaoar removed the collars off their friends as well. I turned toward another view. Yusuke, Kuwabara, Kurama, Hiei, and Maya successfully removed the collars from Keiko and Botan.
What am I to do? I'M ALL ALONE! I'M LITERALLY JUST A ONE MAN ARMY!
"Give up," Uranus quipped.
Suzakato flew behind me and remarked. "You lost."
"Time to surrender," Himakko added.
Yusuke growled and prepared to fire his Spirit Gun. "Better run your ass off or I'll blow you up!"
Taking no chances, I slipped by and dove through the sand.
"YOU DUMBASS!" roared Vega, now already in Arbormon form, and stomped the ground. He stomped on me hard that I was forced out of the sand.
"GAAAAAH!" I screamed as my eyes bulged right out of their sockets! The weight of his foot crushed my back! Oh, the pain! You miserable Earther! You'll pay dearly for that!
Sailor Mercury quickly cut me off and dowsed me with a water blast. As I was sent sailing into a pole, I shook my head and watched the heroes closing in to surround me. Moon and Mars were right at the forefront directing their attention on me. I had nowhere to go. Everywhere I turned, they barricaded me off from escape! No chance of escape, but I refuse... ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO SURRENDER TO THESE EARTHERS!
Then, I just remembered. I flipped the device around and saw a label reading 'Emergency Switch.' This could be my ticket out of here!
Swoosh!
A rose struck the back of my device as I frantically looked up to see a man garbed in a tuxedo and a hat dropping in behind the Senshi.
DAMN YOU, CAPE BOY! GAAAHH! NOW, I'M DOOMED! Or, am I?
I flipped into the air and hovered past the stupid do-gooders.
"Wait a minute! Get back here!" Mars called out as she and Moon chased after me.
As I created a greater distance between myself and the large party, I turned and readied the device. I promptly removed the rose and saw that the gadget was still working! What a relief! Now to point and hit those two with collars! Uh oh, here they come! Zimmy, last chance to rebound! Recover the slaves! Start by taking these two out!
"Stop right there!" Moon shouted as she prepared to throw her tiara.
Mars invoked a fireball in her right hand. "Let's take him out, Sailor Moon!"
"He's right there! Get him!" Yusuke shouted.
Hiei quickly brandished and readied his sword. "Miko, you better let me cut this fool's throat!"
"Guys! Don't let him get away!" Suzakato called out to the Senshi running ahead of them. "Rika! Let's give them a hand!"
"Right!" Seirika said as she took to the air and aimed forward. "You're not getting away!"
"We've got you now!" Agunimon bellowed.
Here they come! I nervously and feverishly pressed random buttons to get the device ready. With a flip of a switch, I fired.
However, Moon and Mars launched their attacks at the exact same time.
"Moon Tiara Action!"
"Mars Flame Sniper!"
OH CRA-!
...fortunately, two collars fired through the device's slots and aimed forward.
Boom!
Both the attacks and the collars hit their marks, and the attacks quickly shorted out my device. The last thing I realized the collars were destroyed, but then I witnessed a bright flash of white light covering the entire area. From the corner of my eye, I watched as my body was turning into ash and burning away. As I drifted off and my voice was silenced, I heard cries.
"Rei-chan?"
"Usagi?"
"WHY ARE YOU IN MY BODY?"
...heh.
xxxxx
My commentary: Oh, dear, what just happened? I wonder... nah, I'm not gonna spoil! You'll have to find out next time. The next chapter will be a tie-in to this one. Anyway, enough about that...
Zimmy. He's an interesting character. He was a stranded Arcadian Cross servant left behind as the organization's members were retreated after Zagato was defeated and Angelia seized control. In order to reform the Arcadian Cross, he built a device that would allow him to use mind control collars on victims. He targeted the girls, because well... whether he doesn't want to admit it or not, but he's partially perverted and yes he does prefer female slaves. He's loosely based off Zim (name included) from Invader Zim, and I imagine he'd have the exact same voice as him. Moreover, Zimmy is every bit as incompetent as Zim. Now imagine Zimmy and Zim locked in the same room.
Zim: …..
Zimmy: …..
Zim: Stealing my gig, Expy?
Zimmy: Erm... waffles?
Gir: WAFFLES!
By the way, this is a follow-up from the Cammy chapter. It's roughly about an hour after that chapter. The girls were called over to take a big group picture. Zimmy just happened to find them after tracing their energy sources linked to their powers and transformation instruments.
I tried hard not to turn this into a dark, albeit hentaish comedy. I really hope I pulled this off convincingly. Granted, the little scene where Zimmy!Mai laid atop of Rei and tried kissing her (transferring Zimmy over to Rei's body) was borderline 'yuri'ish' (this is even a word? I don't care). Nonetheless, Usagi kicks Zimmy!Mai off Rei. True friends watch each other's backs!
Besides adding a little bit of action, just plain craziness and hot pursuits. Was there anything else I could've added? Hmm, not really. Maybe more chase scenes and delving into each girl getting collared, but that's about it.
Anyway, there's your insane comedy installment! :D
Next time, the follow-up to Zimmy.
