A/N: HOKAY! Now for the so-called 'promise' of a lo-o-ng chapter shot. Hopefully I can get the character's names right and everything in order so there'll be something else to look forwards to when I get done. ^^;

DISCLAIMER: After all this time, I need to watch and read the actual products of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon and the episodes of Coffee Prince- which means I don't own them, I can just analyze them and play with whatever pops in my head. ,

Just To Show You I'm Not

"Mars Power, Make Up!"

"Venus Power, Make Up!"

"Moon Crystal Power, Make Up!"

The skies turned a dark blood red as the youma appeared, and the senshi called to their planets from their henshin sticks. Youma erupted from the dark portals of hell, and their various ugly hides bubbled with the new climate of Earth's temperature.

Trees became something evil and dark when a bark youma invested its soul in the hard woods, and the park's playground grew hectic and surreal as a youma drove into the ground, directing its broad forearm in an upwards arc to command the sawdust, turning it into sharply-flying projectiles.

"Sailor Venus! Take the evil one behind the fountain! Mars, there's a grass type in the woods! And Sailor Moon- hit that rockman with all you've got!"

Luna's voice whistled through the air, but while the black guardian cat got affirmative nods of determination, senshi sprinted off to the opposite directions, dodging roots and bark mingling with sawdust all the while.

"Senshi! What are you doing?"

The enraged yowl went unheard, and Luna sprang after them, ready to transform if need be.

"Don't worry about us, Luna-chan! We've got to learn to protect ourselves from our own weaknesses, so we're switching up now!"

Usagi's cheerful voice boomeranged her grunt of throwing the tiara and inflicting minor damage to the tree youma and its branches.

"Yeah! We can't have the new senshi think we're weak, when she defeated that bull all by herself!"

Minako winked, then backhanded the rockman hard across its ugly muzzle, flipping to aim her Venus Love Me Chains at the thick stumps standing for feet and jerking sharply to unbalance it.

"Thunder would want that too, so tell your mate we're ready, Luna-chan! Have him bring Sailor Mercury here, and introduce us!"

Rei fired furiously at the youma behind the fountain, concentrating on herding it into the broken water wheel before setting her flame to boil the sucker, grinning as the purple tint of its fish-like torso flushed a bright red.

Luna nodded, striking away hotly on four paws and giving a hard swipe of claw to the youma manifesting in the ground.

"Okay! I've already called them, are you ready?"

"Don't worry, Neko-chan, we've got to transformation pen right here- and we ALL know how I act like Makoto-chan, don't we?"

Sailor Uranus grinned down at the cat and sent a golden sphere of power along the ground, blasting the youma with her space sword strikes from the tree her and Sailor Neptune perched on as the other demon jumped out to evade the attack.

Receiving a small kiss from her love, Uranus turned back and smirked.

"Mercury!"

Instantly the air chilled in battle, and the icy temperature practically chilled the senshi to the core. Sailor Mercury stood before them, and blue eyes glittered dangerously to scan the youma for any hints of weaknesses behind a blue eye visor.

Makoto stood behind her, yelling as she pretended to be blown away, then deftly kicking herself a couple few extra feet into the bushes.

Uranus sprang.

"JUPITER SUPREME THUNDER!"

The electric disc flew through the air and crackled with energy as it gorged itself on the terrified youma prancing around, concealed in the wake of brittle roses and blood-red petals.

"M-Mako. . chan?"

To say Sailor Mercury was confused would have been an understatement.

Across the park, standing tall and strong, stood an electric version of Makoto Kino in senshi form, a long dark ponytail snaking around her back and secured to her right wrist, presumably to use as an extension of a whip. But a glance with her visor to the right showed Makoto Kino swaying to her feet and belting a youma in the face with a snarled growl.

"Thunder! Fry the skies- I want to try something out!"

Mars' command brought a familiar grin to those proud lips, and Mercruy watched as Jupiter raised her hands and directed a bolt into the sky, instantly gathering dark clouds into a one-of-a-kind senshi thunderstorm.

It was beautiful.

A miracle of nature, all right there in every battle as the senshi fought.

Mars yelled and fire speared into the heavens, consumed by the crackled energy of electric lightning and then spreading down to make a chain link of golden heart tinged with an eccentric orange, due to Venus' Love Me Chain.

With a centered cry, they all directed the power and force into one disc and sent it flying towards Sailor Moon, laughing slightly as their future queen gave a startled yelp and started running away, then merging her tiara to the mix to swipe the dark portal coming from the Negaverse into oblivion.

No more youma would be coming for a short while.

Somehow, their teamwork made something inside her ache, but Ami didn't have no more time to think about it. There were more youma concealed in the bushes and ground, in the skies, and they all had to get rid of them before they multiplied in rank and started feeding on Tokyo.

Showering a monkey-like youma with a horrid case of ice bubbles, she sprang over its cracking torso and landed next to human Makoto, smiling slightly as she saw her partner pick up a piece of brittle sawdust and hurl it at another youma, hitting it squarely on the head and knocking it unconscious.

Looking around, Ami scanned her visor for the outer senshi.

She knew there had to be at least two, since there were at least six souls on the radar before her and Makoto had come on the scene, so where were they? With every step in coming closer and transforming, the radar had detected the colors of bright auras, but she frowned when she only saw five senshi.

Five TRANSFORMED SENSHI.

Glancing back at the screen as she hit another youma full blast with an ice beam of sorts, Ami tried to comprehend the odd mix of coloring Makoto's aura had.

Whenever the other girl hit something or expended any sort of powered-at energy such as throwing a rock, her aura would flicker and intense gold would break through the pattern of lightning green.

Ami's eyes narrowed.

Scanning the lightning senshi across the park, the radar showed the exact same height and blood patterns, physical traits and identity. Ami blushed as she performed a small X-ray and then turned her attention back to the Makoto she'd come to the park with.

Everything was the same, if only for the difference between ponytail and aura flickerings.

Then Ami did an X-ray.

"Sailor Neptune! Behind you!"

Her concentration flickered as the lightning senshi's voice called out, and something inside her warmed as she realized the voice was the same husk of Makoto Kino's.

The senshi was a flurry of quick as Jupiter tackled Neptune, rolling her over as they barely evaded a sonic cry of rage from the downed youma's mate, and Jupiter blasted it as well, grimacing as the cry turned into one of happiness to join its beloved in death.

"Michiru. . ."

Ami heard the unrequited feelings for the elegant Sailor Neptune, now in Sailor Jupiter's arms. Somehow, something was wrong, something didn't feel right. . .

"Thunder! Sailor Venus!"

And the desperate cry of Sailor Mars shook the heavens as Ami turned and watched in horror as the rock monster slammed his fist into Sailor Venus, who tried to flip out of the way but ended up receiving a fatal blow to her right leg as a crater appeared underneath her.

The youma around her had abandoned all their other enemies and raced towards Sailor Venus in all manners, some limping, some flying and diving down to bomb her with all sorts of attacks.

Ami could see, out of the corner of her eye, Sailor Mars desperately trying to tear herself away from the tree youma who had somehow ran away from Usagi and was now holding Mars now, chuckling angrily into her ear.

"VENUS!"

Mars' mournful howl erupted as the youma advanced, and the fire senshi's head hung low. Ami had thought she had given up, but instead fire erupted from everywhere there was wood, and the air was suddenly full of fire: flames were licking at everything, and as Ami saw Mars' head raise, she swore her eyes were streaming tears.

It was too hot to see if it was just a trick of the light.

"VENUS!"

And the world started to burn.

00000000000000000000000000000

Makoto stared.

Neptune rolled out of her arms, and the thunder senshi scrambled to her feet, sending a lightning bolt into the crowd of youma gathering around Minako. It was too late. She knew there was nothing she could do, and out of the corner of her eye, Makoto could see Usagi running towards Sailor Venus, ripping her tiara from her forehead and boomeranging it towards the horde.

"VENUS!"

Rei's voice grated her very soul, and Makoto heard the pain coming from her friend's very being as she was withheld from Minako. Wrenching herself off the ground, Makoto rode the waves of Sailor Neptune's Deep Submerge, enforcing the attack with a lightning roar and flicker.

Suddenly, the wave under her evaporated, and Makoto fell to the ground, looking about wildly in confusion.

Sailor Mars was on fire!

Everything around her was incinerated, and Makoto could see rare tears on Rei's face as she directed her consuming attack at the horde of youma.

Ooh, boy.

Rei was losing it.

Running instead towards her clone counterpart, Makoto let her transformation fall from her and ran into the bushes. It was burning hot, and she felt as if she would melt from her bones, it was all-consuming fire.

Haruka had seen her, and she rolled into the bushes herself, transforming into Sailor Uranus and flying to Neptune's side, aiding her to her feet and throwing down an Earth Shaking attack to ward off the youma around Rei.

Rei herself was becoming more and more desperate as the rock man youma stood there, advancing and throwing increasingly stronger punches at Minako.

"Mako-chan. Sailor Mars won't mind if I aim a protection bubble at over Sailor Venus, right?"

Makoto ran out of the bushes and nodded at Ami. At the very last second she remembered she had her clip-on ponytail on and threw it over her shoulder to an advancing youma with its mouth open. The monster ate it and choked, hacking it up as a grossly disfigured hairball.

Ami nodded back and iced the youma before turning and drawing her hands together to spread a lot of small bubbles into a much larger bubble. Looking over at the downed senshi, Ami directed her hands outwards and spread the bubble outwards over Sailor Venus' torso, consuming the blonde in a protective sphere.

"Sailor Mars! Flame the rock-block!"

Ami's voice was a commanding snarl, and Makoto was surprised when her partner nodded in determination in Rei's direction, who was now a burning torch that was overly pissed at the boulder-head now raising its blocky leg up to squish Sailor Venus.

Minako now encased protectively in Sailor Mercury's icy bubble, Sailor Mars let loose.

"DIE, BLOCKHEAD!"

And Sailor Mars blasted the youma into smoldering little rocks.

"Minako!"

"Rei-chan! Is she all right?"

"Koneko-chan, don't move her yet- Setsuna will come here soon and she'll transport her to the hospital. We can't let an injury like this go with our senshi healing only."

"Rei-chan, you've gotten stronger. I could feel it inside your soul."

"Michiru-chan? I. . did?"

"Rei-chan, if you couldn't tell, you practically burned the whole park down!"

"Oh yeah? Well, Thunder, I can do that any day!"

"Not yesterday, you couldn't! Not like that!"

"Girls, stop. We've got to get Mina-chan to the hospital."

Ami looked back and forth between the senshi and Makoto, and she shook her head. They couldn't afford to waste time like this. Not letting her transformation drop, she lifted her hands and made the bubble encasing Minako rise.

"Listen, all of you. We can't just stand around here arguing. Sailor Venus here, or Minako-san, is badly hurt. By my calculations, her ribs should be crushed, and they're probably hitting her innards right now. Rather than wait for this Setsuna, let's get moving."

She felt the crackle in energy around her pause almost, like a rock in the midst of a flowing river. Ami didn't care. Even though she didn't know this girl, she knew she was badly hurt and while senshi healing would help, she still needed to get to the hospital.

"Hold her high, like that, please. We'll get there in time."

A ripple shuddered through her when a low voice sounded near her ear, and Ami didn't turn but did as she was told. Something inside her screamed that she'd met the ruler or guardian of time, Sailor Pluto, if her research was correct.

"I've got her."

Out of the corner of her eye, Ami saw the girl called Rei and Sailor Mars rush towards them, but with a simple tightening of her grip on Minako, Ami reassured the girl she would take care of the senshi in her bubble.

Fire flared in dark brown eyes, bordering on near purple, challenging her to never let any harm come to Minako, and Ami just let it flow past her and nodded.

She would take care of her.

And with a last breath, the woman named Setsuna ripped them away into the fabrics and streams of time.

A/N: ^^ . . . That was unexpected. At least for me. Yeah, I guess I did kind of plan this out, but just for Makoto and Ami's sake in showing Ami that Makoto 'couldn't' be Sailor Jupiter. . because she just couldn't. Minako's injury was kind of sudden. Hope I can type faster for you guys, . ! Yay!
