After receiving her mission, Arare Kanzaki walked into the laboratory. Momoko and Anzu Ryuzaki, although not in their lab coats, are nevertheless eager to produce their Gemeloids for the Zodiac Belt to use. Momoko stands by in a pink shirt while Anzu sports an orange shirt just as Kanzaki walked in.
"Your creations that you gave Ushiyama missed their mark," Kanzaki coldly said. "Do you have anything that can target the Sailor Senshi?"
"Well, our creations that we gave to Ushiyama…" Anzu said.
"…were mostly made for physical damage, as it were more suitable…" Momoko added.
"…for strength over skill." Anzu said after Momoko.
"Fortunately, we came across creatures with ranged attacks…" Momoko responded.
"…to express your unique abilities." Anzu added, handing out two Gemeloid black CDs to Kanzaki.
"As the old saying goes, fire when ready!" the twins smiled.
"Looks like it's time to go hunting!" Kanzaki sneered as she took the Gemeloids and headed out into the city.
Elsewhere in the city, Usagi and Chibi-Usa meet up with Mamoru at the Crown Parlor. Motoki and Unazuki were working as the Senshi relaxed.
"Man, what a day!" Usagi sighed happily. "Spending time with family and the ones you love!"
"You said it!" Chibi-Usa blushed.
Mamoru sat around to talk with Motoki about life in general, until there was a small commotion from the arcade.
"Something's going on downstairs!" Unazuki told Motoki.
The news had Motoki heading down to the arcade. This also prompted Mamoru, Usagi and Chibi-Usa to head down with them.
To their amazement, they see all the machines are lit up. Each arcade game had a high score and almost all the toys in the crane machines are gone.
"What tornado came in here?!" Motoki gasped. "It's like we've been under siege!"
"This one girl beat every machine like it was nothing!" a patron told Motoki.
"One girl did all this?!" Usagi squeaked. "I wonder who it is?"
Then Usagi looked at the high score of the closest video game and the name she read made her face turn green.
"Ugh! I think I'm gonna be woozy…" Usagi said in disgust.
Mamoru wondered what the name Usagi read that made her feel relatively nauseous. Then he read the name out loud, "Saitou Mizuki."
"That's a member of the Zodiac Belt, Mamo-chan!" Chibi-Usa explained.
"But I don't understand," Mamoru wondered. "Why is a Zodiac Belt member hanging out here in the arcade?"
"Because, she's a complete space case!" Usagi and Chibi-Usa said simultaneously.
Then, another machine rang up as the crowd was cheering. Walking away from another machine heading towards the Royal Moon family was Mizuki Saitou herself. When Mamoru got a look into her eyes, he rolled his eyes back knowing that look on his girlfriend and future daughter well.
"Hey, guys!" Mizuki called out to Usagi, Chibi-Usa and Mamoru. "Enjoy the match a few nights ago?"
"You are about to drive me CRAZY!" Usagi silently growled, leering into Mizuki's eyes. "Your Zodiac Belt comrades also got us killed!"
"Well, that IS the obvious," Mizuki nonchalantly said.
"So why show up here in the Crown Parlor?" Mamoru interrogated. "Are you here to confront Usagi?"
"Not my job," Mizuki said. "Besides, why kill the Senshi when I can kill time here?"
Mamoru, Usagi and Chibi-Usa each got that annoyed look, saying, "Yep, she's really out there."
Mizuki noticed the time on the clock and had to leave the arcade fast.
"I almost forgot! Persona 4 is almost on!" Mizuki exclaimed and bolted out the door. She turned back to Usagi, Mamoru and Chibi-Usa to say, "Be careful you don't lose a hottie like him, Usagi! It wouldn't look good for continuity!"
As Mizuki ran off out of plain sight, Usagi, Chibi-Usa and Mamoru's faces turned from annoyed into completely disgusted.
"No doubt about it," Mamoru groaned.
"Mizuki is a complete weirdo!" Chibi-Usa added, feeling disgusted.
"That's putting it mildly," Usagi said, feeling like she's getting ready to throw up.
Meanwhile, on top of Azabu's skyscrapers, Arare Kanzaki stood tall holding her crossbow. She took out the two Gemeloid discs that the Ryuzaki twins gave her and threw them into the air. The CDs cracked open to reveal the youma known as Cameran and the daimon known as U-Estern.
"What are your orders, master?" Cameran asked.
"Make sure the Senshi follow you two," Kanzaki stated. "Once they're all in range, I'll take point."
"Those Sailors will be a sorry bunch indeed, I reckon!" U-Estern laughed. "I've been itchin' for another showdown!"
"And this time, those Sailor brats will be out of the picture!" Cameran added.
Kanzaki began to fine-tune her crossbow in preparation for the attack that she carefully planned.
"Remember, don't miss your mark," she warned the Gemeloids. "One errant shot and you will fall. Make every shot count!"
"We won't fail!" the Gemeloids replied as if they were soldiers in an army.
As night fell, the Senshi were walking around plannig on enjoying the evening. They had to first wait for Ami to finish her extra work at cram school. After Ami was finished, the Senshi headed toward the park to talk about planning for future attacks by the Zodiac Belt, should the opportunity present itself.
"Well, we know why we're all here, Senshi," Rei addressed. "The Zodiac Belt can strike at any moment."
"I know," Usagi groaned. "Mizuki was at the arcade hours ago!"
"That goofball was there again?!" Makoto said. "What does she do when she's not trying to kill us?"
"From what we understand," Ami thought, "the Zodiac Belt almost work the same way as our past confrontations with previous enemy forces."
"Except they want to kill Princess Serenity and conquer the universe!" Minako grunted.
"Exactly!" Rei added. "Don't forget they're still evil. We barely escaped that cage battle alive!"
"And from previous analyses," Ami noted, "they seemed to have cloned every monster that was used by the enemy, meaning they're artificial constructs."
"In plain English, please," Minako chimed.
"Basically, they're carbon copies of the original monsters," Ami replied clearly.
"So, any idea who's gunning for us this time?" Chibi-Usa asked.
"No clue, but whatever happens, it'll be intense," Rei sighed, looking worried.
"It'll be alright, Rei," Makoto said in order to cheer up Rei.
"Yes, for now let's enjoy the evening at the park," Ami said, smiling brightly.
"I'm for anything relaxing, after meeting Miss Weirdo today," Usagi exclaimed.
The Senshi continued to walk into the park as they see what looks like a photographer nearby.
The photographer was a young man carrying a large camera taking pictures of the landscape. Unbeknownst to him and the Senshi, the camera he's carrying is Cameran in disguise. Also, hiding among the landscape is U-Estern, holding her pistol like an outlaw waiting for a showdown.
When Cameran sensed that the Senshi were nearby, she added weight to make herself heavy to the photographer. After he felt the camera gain weight, the Senshi noticed something was wrong. U-Estern heard the commotion and saw with a grin that Cameran is doing her part.
Just as Usagi was trying to help the photographer keep his balance, Cameran suddenly became light and upswept Usagi. Naturally, the Senshi were shocked to see the photographer try to take pictures of Usagi's panties. Makoto quickly slammed him into a tree and planned to beat him senseless.
"Stop! You don't understand!" the young man pleaded. "My camera has a mind of its own!"
"Don't lie to me, you pervert!" Makoto yelled and knocked him out with one punch. "Cameras don't move on their own!"
"But THIS one does!" Cameran's voice echoed. "It's been a while, Sailor Moon!"
To Usagi's eyes, she saw the photographer's camera change into Cameran. Makoto looked over and saw Cameran stand before Usagi.
"What is that?!" Makoto asked.
"I defeated this enemy before, Mako-chan," Usagi explained. "Her photographs seal anything away into another dimension, but I used her own power against her."
"But this time, there's no mirrors to save you!" Cameran gloated.
"And she's got company!" U-Estern added, coming out of the trees. "I'm a-sendin' you Sailors to Boot Hill after we gets thru witcha!"
"Not if we have anything to do about it, creeps!" Usagi said, as she and the Senshi began their transformation.
After completely transformed, the Senshi began their standoff as Cameran began to use her photography attacks while U-Estern used classic Wild West weapons like revolver pistols and rifles. The Senshi have no room to move without getting shot or trapped in limbo.
"I feel we're being caught in a pincer situation!" Mercury said.
"If we don't do something soon, we're done for!" Mars added.
"We got no choice, but to hide in the city!" Sailor Moon said. "We don't want people to get hurt!"
The Senshi began to run toward the city with the Gemeloids pursuing them, continuing their assault. Unknowing to the Senshi, Arare Kanzaki is on top of a skyscraper observing the skirmish.
"Excellent work, troops," Kanzaki said calmly. "Lure them here and I'll eliminate them forever."
The Senshi kept dodging lasers from Cameran and live ammo from U-Estern while returning fire with their own attacks, trying to avoid disaster.
"What's taking so long to get rid of these sleezoids?" Venus grunted.
"It seems they're trying to lure us someplace, but where?" Mars thought.
"Mars is right," Mercury added. "Their aim is deliberately diversional. We're being lured straight into a trap."
"It's another one of those Zodiac Belt creeps, isn't it?!" Jupiter boomed. "Come out and show yourself, you coward!"
The Senshi decided to stand and fight the Gemeloids while on the rooftop, Kanzaki saw the progress through her night vision goggles.
"This isn't good," she noticed. "The Senshi somehow knew this was a trap. Looks like I'll have to mobilize."
Kanzaki ran across from rooftop to rooftop keeping the Senshi in her sights as the Inner Senshi used their special attacks to keep the Gemeloids at bay. With a few lucky shots, Cameran and U-Estern looked like their about ready to pass out.
"Damn! We're out of focus!" Cameran grumbled. "Those Sailor brats knew our plan!"
"Looks like we're about to ride off into the sunset, pardner!" U-Estern said to her fellow Gemeloid.
"Time to finish you two off!" Sailor Moon said as she pulls out her Moon Rod. Before she can use it, a powerful bolt of explosive light came within feet of hitting the Moon Princess.
"Mom! Are you alright?!" Mini-Moon asked.
"Yeah, but that was close!" Sailor Moon gasped and panted.
"Y'all think you should watch yer aim, boss?!" U-Estern called back.
Jumping down to join the Gemeloids was Kanzaki wearing a full body armor suit with her crossbow at her side.
"I don't know how you knew of our plans, but this time I won't miss!" Kanzaki told the Senshi.
"Who are you, you Call of Duty reject?!" Venus demanded.
"I am Arare Kanzaki of the Zodiac Belt," she answered back, "and my queen's tactical weapons expert."
"More like an assassin!" Mercury reprimanded Kanzaki. "You're endangering people's lives!"
"Whatever happens is unfortunate," Kanzaki coldly replied. "You may have dodged my Magnum Arrow, but you won't have another chance!"
U-Estern then fired a special gun spraying liquid at the Senshi's feet. The girls tried to move but their feet are stuck to the street.
"I can't move!" Jupiter said, struggling.
"It feels like rubber cement," Mercury thought.
"That thar's industrial strength glue, missy!" U-Estern called out. "That's so's y'all stay put for Round 2!"
Cameran fired off her laser photography, but surprisingly none of the Senshi vanish. However, they feel frozen in time.
"An immobilization ray will make sure you 'Freeze' for the camera!" Cameran added.
Kanzaki walked right up to Sailor Moon carrying her crossbow as she readies her attack.
"One Magnum Arrow at close range," Kanzaki said, raising her crossbow at Sailor Moon, "and you and the rest of the Senshi will be ancient memories."
Before she fired her crossbow, Tuxedo Mask's rose lands right on Kanzaki's goggles, sending her screaming in pain and firing her Magnum Arrow in the sky.
"MY EYES!" Kanzaki yelled while covering her face. "I CAN'T SEE!"
Before Cameran and U-Estern could react, Neptune and Uranus came to the rescue of the Senshi. Cameran had her immobilization ray reflected back at her by Neptune's Aqua Mirror, freezing the Gemeloid in her tracks. U-Estern was tackled by Uranus as the force knocked the outlaw off her horse.
"No more horsing around!" Uranus boomed. "It's time you went down and out!"
"Prepare to feel the pain you so easily inflict!" Neptune added.
Neptune and Uranus combined their World Shaking and Deep Submerge attacks destroying the Gemeloids. The black discs crumbled into dust and the immobilization ray wore off. Mars melted off the superglue U-Estern used to free the trapped Senshi. Tuxedo Mask jumped down to join the Senshi who are recovering from the ordeal.
"Sailor Moon, are you alright?" he asked.
"I am. Thank you, Tuxedo Mask," Sailor Moon nodded.
"Our battle's not over yet!" Mars said, pointing out Kanzaki who is crawling on the street, crying loudly and covering her eyes.
"That's right," Jupiter grinned. "We got a sniper to snuff out!"
"It's time you had a real-life deathmatch, Arare Kanzaki!" Mercury declared.
"You're about to be moondust, monster!" Sailor Moon and Mini-Moon said in unison as Mini-Moon pulled out her Moon Rod as well.
Before the Senshi can attack Kanzaki, a giant wall of gold bars seperated them and began to burst into flames. Ichigo Akeboshi is back, but she still had bandages from when Uranus and Neptune rammed her into the steel cage during the wrestling match. A hooded figure managed to hold Kanzaki still and treat her eyes. The hooded girl gave the thumbs up to Akeboshi.
"I'll get you Sailor scamps back for what you did to me!" Akeboshi threatened. "For now, we come to retrieve our comrade!"
"Don't think it's over, Sailor punks!" Kanzaki shrieked. "It's never over! Not by a long shot!"
After the Zodiac Belt vanished, the Gilded Prison vanished as well, leaving all the Senshi safe and sound.
"The Zodiac Belt seem to be getting desperate," Tuxedo Mask thought.
"I know," Sailor Moon said. "I almost bit it back there. That was some weapon!"
"We have felt the wrath of some of the Zodiac Belt so far," Mercury analyzed. "I feel there's still more waiting for us."
"We'll be ready for whatever comes next," Sailor Moon said, relieved. "That we can count on."
Meanwhile, back at Zodiac Belt headquarters, Kanzaki had to have her eyes taped since she was operated on. Akeboshi is slowly recovering from her injuries. Queen Ophelia walked up to Kanzaki and slapped her across the head, causing the Zodiac Belt sniper to writhe in more pain.
"You failed me, you miserable excuse for a sniper!" Ophelia scolded at her. "Never fail me again! Understand?!"
After disciplining Kanzaki, she headed back to her throne to plan the next attack on the Senshi.
"Who shall I send to eradicate those pests?!" Ophelia growled.
"I'll take the job, my queen!" a hooded girl kneeled down. "Pest control is my specialty! I'll hunt them down and devour them!"
"Very well, Shishi Kobayashi," Ophelia smiled. "You shall head into the field!"
The hooded girl removed her cloak to reveal Kobayashi as a tanned redhead with her hair long and unkempt, white tribal barb tattoos on her body and a tiger print bikini on. Her long black fingernails are almost like claws.
"I am Shishi Kobayashi," she howls out, "and I AM THE ALPHA!"
