A/N: Hey guys, sorry about the long delay, once again real life had to take priority and I had to place this story on hold. I also want to apologize for the fact that this chapter is still focusing on Kakyuu and the SG-1 team (sort off) but I though it would have been best that I got to introduce two OCs which for story purposes are apart of SG-1 (Don't worry I do plan to have both Carter and Teal'c in the story later on."
But I digress, here is the next installment and I hope you like it...

( A Night on the Town...)
Two weeks had passed and O'Neill and his his team were no closer to uncovering just who or what was behind these series of mysterious attacks across Tokyo, nor were they any closer to discovering just who these 'Sailor Senshi' were in the first place. Despite having the full cooperation of the Japanese PSIA there really wasn't much for the Air Force team to go on, other than the fact that these "girls" possessed powers which were beyond comprehension.
The general's team were given access to video footage which the PSIA had retrieved from numerous CCTV and traffic cameras from across the city, from what they could see each one of these "senshi" some how had control over elements such as fire and water and could call upon them with ease. Just what kind of technology, if any, could be behind it all? Where were these threats, which seemed to be focused on Tokyo for some reason, coming from? Why were they interested in Tokyo anyway but most of all just how in the hell were these girls able to fight those monsters in high heels?!
But back to the point, these senshi were a complete mystery to both the Japanese government and his team. Yet from the reports and statements which were taken from the witnesses of these attacks, the senshi themselves were seen as heroes and it was very clear to see that the senshi were seen as friend rather than foe. Which would explain why the Japanese government seemed more interested in determining just who were these attackers, rather than finding out who the senshi .
So far O'Neill and his team were able only arrive on scene after an attack had occurred to which all they could do was collect information from eyewitnesses, as well as investigate what little evidence had been left behind. Usually in the form of soil samples which were taken from disturbed patches of earth, to photos of damaged which were said to have been caused by the fights which the senshi were involved in. In short, both the Air Force and the PSIA didn't have much to go on, but soon the joint Japanese-American task force were about to get a major boost to their investigation efforts.
Samantha had contacted the general earlier in the day and the air force officer informed her superior that the up grades to the Prometheus had been completed and would be in orbit in lest than twenty four hours. While the Daedalus would follow suit by the end of the week, with both vessels in orbit and scanning the Japanese islands for anomalies, it would only be a matter of time before these senshi or other energy signatures were detected. Not to mention that if things got out of hand, the combined fire power of Earth's two battle cruisers would most certainly be welcomed indeed.
But for now all the general and his team could do was wait for the Prometheus to get into position, which meant for the time being, O'Neill and his men had some much needed down time. Not to mention it would give one member of his group a chance to interact with the population of the planet.
Despite still being a bit wary about Kakyuu, O'Neill still thought it would be a good idea to allow the princess to at least have some fun while she was outside of the bunker. Besides, O'Neill had noticed the sad expression Kakyuu would sometimes have on her face, any time the group went out on investigations. The general could tell that the royal was starting to show signs of anxiety, he had been in the military long enough to know when someone was stressing themselves out and it was certainly not good for one's health.
Hence the general had organized for Kakyuu and two of his men to basically have a night out on the town and see what Tokyo had to offer. Jackson was currently at PSIA head quarters going over the notes which had been collected by the two teams, while O'Neill himself had some matters which he needed to attend to. That left the two other members of the Air Force contingent to act at Kakyuu's guides/guardians while they were in Tokyo.
Now that the general was alone in his hotel room, he proceeded to take out a DVD which he had brought along and placed into into disk drive of his personal computer. Within moments the screen changed as angelic voices sang through the speakers...
"The Simpsons..."

Tokyo. The ancient capital city of the nation of Japan which was home to millions of people and right now, it looked at if every single one of them had crammed themselves into this one city street. Princess Kakyuu could not help but to feel more than a bit overwhelmed by this mass of humanity, as she and her two chaperones now found themselves in the Roppongi district of the city.
Since the team had some down time, General O'Neill thought it would be a good idea for them to get out of their hotel and explore the city they were in and although Kakyuu was a bit hesitant at first, she was glad for the opportunity to interact with the people of this world. It would give her a chance to see just what the people were truly like, not to mention it would give her a chance to search for the senshi of this world and if she found them, then maybe the royal could convince them to help her find the Tau'ri and together, they could defeat Galaxia.
"How you holding up?" one of her chaperones, a airman name Patrick Morrison, asked. As the group now stood in front of one of the many clubs which dotted the entertainment district.
"I'm fine." Kakyuu replied. "I'm just a little overwhelmed, that's all."
"I can understand that." the third member of their group, Airman Eugene McKenzie, commented. "I remember the first time I came to Roppongi, I thought I would never find my way out."
"You use to live here?" the princess asked curiously.
"Yep." McKenzie replied. "My mother and Step Father were diplomats and I moved here when I was ten. Spent most my life here before I joined the air force. How about you, Pat?"
"Was here for five years before they assigned me to the SGC." Morrison replied. "But this is the first time I have been to Roppongi."
"Then you missed out!" McKenzie proclaimed. "You know what? There was a place around here which sell Choco Bananas which are to die for!"
"Choco what?" Kakyuu asked, taken aback by her escort's enthusiasm over... "What exactly is a Choco...?"
"Choco Bananas" the Airman replied. "Trust me, you two will enjoy them."
"Tell me Patrick... is he always this... enthusiastic?" the princess asked her other escort, who himself had an amused expression on his face.
"Only when it comes to food." Morrison replied with a heavy sigh. "Lets follow him and make sure he doesn't embarrass himself."
Kakyuu for her part could not help but to stifle a small laugh as she walked with Patrick and followed the third member of their group. She was surprised that these two military men, acted so casual when they were not in uniform, kind of how her friends/guardians were back on Kinmoku. Kakyuu knew deep inside that her senshi, her friends were still alive and somewhere in this place known as Japan, maybe being out and about would help her in some way to contact them or for them to find her. It may have been a long shot, but it was better that staying in that hotel room which had been provided for her.
"Here you go." said McKenzie as he handed one of the chocolate covered fruit to the princess, who herself had a confused expression on her face as she stared down the confection before her.
"Um... what do you do with it?" Kakyuu asked curiously, genuinely perplexed by what was before her.
Eugene just chuckled before he replied. "Like this!" and proceeded to take a bite out of the candy coated fruit. "See?"
Though hesitant Kakyuu did not want to offend her chaperone took a small bite off the tip. "Amazing!" the princess exclaimed happily. An almost child like expression forming on her face, as she took another, bigger bite out of her snack. "Are there anymore of these wonderful confections?"
The two airmen chuckled at the young woman's sudden gleeful state. Apparently Kakyuu had herself a bit of a sweet tooth and it just showed itself. "Roppongi is a big place, I'm sure there will be other things that may interest you." McKenzie replied, as he and Morrison were still very much amused by Kakyuu's sudden mood swing. The princess for her part just took another bite out of her Choco Banana, before the trio made their way back into the sea of humanity to experience just what Tokyo had to offer.
As the day progressed , the trio consisting of one princess and two U.S. military personnel continued to sample what the city of Tokyo had to offer. Both sampling the local delicacies via small food stalls and taking in the culture of the land of the rising sun by visiting a a museum or two. Kakyuu for her part did found the day to be a very enjoyable one, as for the first time since she was forced to flee her planet, the princess was able to loosen up and have fun. Kakyuu enjoyed the fact that she was able to interact in a way with the people of this world and understand them more.
Not to mention she saw that the people of this city held the senshi with high regard, as she could not help but to notice a lot of senshi related items such as shirts and posters which were blatantly being pushed by numerous street venders. With the sun starting to set on Tokyo the trio now had to return to their hotel, for tomorrow they would return to the task of locating these mysterious Sailor Senshi. But as the group began to move away from the crowded areas, they soon realized that they were not alone.
"Don't look now, but I think we are being followed." Patrick suddenly spoke up, as the trio approched a subway station.
"What makes you think that we are?" McKenzie asked his friend, as Kakyuu got a puzzled look on her face.
"Ever since we left that restaurant, a woman with blue hair in a pale blue trench coat and a man with blond hair, in blue jeans and white shirt, have been following us." the airman replied, "Just be natural and don't let them know we are on to them."
"Who to you think they are?" McKenzie asked curiously. "It could be the PSIA providing security for us."
"The PSIA don't know we are out today." Patrick replied. "And I recognized that blue haired one, she tried to hit on me."
"How you so sure that she truly isn't interested in you?" McKenzie joked.
"Cause the last time a girl hit on me out of the blue, I was in Vegas and wanted more than just to party." the airman replied, "Besides she look way to young for my liking."
"So just who could they be?" Kakyuu asked her chaperone, an uneasy feeling starting fill her. Obviously the idea of someone following them made these two air force officers feel on edge and it was that fact alone which made the princess worry as well.
"I don't know. But if they have been following us for the better part of today, then that only means we have something they want." Patrick replied, as his mind went into over drive as to what their next course of action should be. It was then at that point with the airman's brown eyes caught of a sign which pointed down to one of Tokyo's many subway stations and an idea came to mind.
"McKenzie, do you remember how the Trans in this city ran?"

There was something about this odd trio, it was a feeling which both Haruka and Michiru could not shake ever since the lovers first saw them earlier that day. What started as just a normal day out for the couple, soon became much more when Michiru set eyes upon the young woman with red hair in the company of two older males.
Usually the violinist would brush off a sight such as a young woman in the company of two (possibly older) men, but there was a aura about here which did not sit well with the senshi of the seas. A sentiment which was shared with her fellow senshi and lover, as she too could not help but to feel that there was much more to this individual that met the eye and with a new enemy threatening the planet, the two outer senshi were not about to let this individual out of their sights.
Over the next few hours both Haruka and Michiru followed the trio throughout the city, taking extra care so as to not draw any attention to themselves. Though at one point, Michiru tried to gain some information by flirting with one of them men when he was all alone, but apparently he was all too familiar with her apparent flirtatious nature and basically told her to leave him alone. But as the day progressed the couple still continued to shadow the trio and were waiting for just the right opportunity to confront this individual and her companions.
"They're heading down into the subway." Haruka said, "Have you contacted Setsuna?"
"She's still looking after Hotaru." the aqua haired woman replied. "But she knows what we're doing."
"Very well, looks like we are on our own for now." the senshi of the wind replied, not minding one bit that only she and Michiru would be working alone. As a matter a fact, the tall blond welcomed it. They had always worked alone, even in the days of the old Moon Kingdom and as far as the leader of the outer senshi were concerned, that was how it should be. "Hurry, before we lose them."
Without missing a beat, the two lovers followed the princess and her apparent guardians down into the subway station. Passing numerous posters of a local boy band which had recently emerged and had become quite popular in Japan. "Ugh, they're everywhere." Haruka muttered, as they passed said posters and made their way deeper under ground.
A few moments passed before the duo caught sight of their targets, who were now standing with a group of people near the platform as if they were just casually waiting for the next train to arrive. Soon the two senshi joined the very same group and decided to follow the trio and see just where they were heading. They could not risk confronting a potentially dangerous enemy with so many bystanders around.
Suddenly the spacious terminal was soon filled with the familiar sounds of one of Tokyo's many subway trains, which rolled into the station and screeched to a halt in front of its next load of passengers. No sooner had the doors slid open a wave of humanity began to push into the metallic box which would ferry them to their destinations throughout the city, among which were the mysterious trio and the lovers who were determined to figure out just who these individuals were.
But the flow of people into the subway car made it difficult for both Haruka and Michiru to keep an eye to their targets, but eventually the crowd came to a halt and the doors closed. It was only at this point did the outer senshi caught sight of their prey once again, who themselves now had smug expressions on their faces as they stood on the platform and watched the train carrying the now stunned senshi pull out of the station.
"Well that worked better than I though!" Patrick said with a huge grin of his face. "They do not look happy!"
"Indeed so." Kakyuu replied, as she could clearly see the unhappy expressions on the faces of their would be stalkers, as the train pulled out of the station. "But who were they?"
"I don't know." McKenzie muttered, as the group began to make their way towards the station's exit. "But I think it is something that the General would just love to know."
"Oh yea." Morrison replied grimly. "He's gonna love this!"
The other two just nodded in reply, as they exited the subway station and made their way back into the city. While just a couple miles away and still underground, both Sailor Uranus and Sailor Neptune were now having to deal with the fact that they had been out foxed , and were now on a train which would take half way across the city. Many miles away from where they had been tricked.

A/N: Well what did you all think? Not a very long chapter, I know but I thought it would have been a nice touch to have. Don't worry I will have the Usagi and the rest of the senshi in the next chapter (hopefully) but lets see what my mind comes up with.
Until next time, Nightstalker signing out!
Oh, and FYI... Choco Bananas are a real thing in Japan. Google it.
