"We need to get Uranus and Neptune to someplace private where I can try to figure out how to help them." Sailor Mercury said. Jupiter picked up Neptune and Mars picked up Uranus.
"I believe that my lab will be sufficient." Nishioka Takiji said. He was feeling a lot better now that Sailor Moon had put his heart crystal back in his body.
"Is that really alright?" Mercury inquired. "They tried to help me when I was attacked, and I want to try to help them." the professor responded. "Alright then, lead the way" said Mercury.
He took them to his lab, and they put Uranus and Neptune on the floor. Mercury pulled out her computer and started analyzing them. "Their bodies are infected with some sort of dark energy that's keeping them asleep." she said as her computer displayed an energy chart showing their brainwaves. "It's connected to their minds, and is no doubt affecting their subconscious."
Then there was a sudden spike in the foreign energy. "What does that mean?" Sailor Moon asked. Mercury said "I think they're having a nightmare." "I wonder what's happening to them." said Moon.
What was happening was that they had chased Akuyume into a dark alley with a dead end. She turned toward the Outer Soldiers. "Please, don't come any closer!" she cried in the most cowardly tone she could muster.
"Your fun is over!" Uranus said with a mean smile on her face as she and Neptune walked into the alley. Unfortunately for them, this was exactly what Akuyume wanted. She made a door appear in the wall behind her and went through it but left it open.
"After her!" Uranus said. Neptune was hesitant. "Are you sure we should follow her?" Uranus replied "How else are we going to get out of here?" "Good point." Neptune answered, but she couldn't shake off the feeling that something wasn't right.
They went through the door and no sooner had they entered the tunnel behind it than the door shut, leaving them in almost total darkness. Uranus and Neptune trudged on, on alert for any sign of their opponent. At one point they would have sworn they could hear the laughter of Akuyume right beside them.
After a bit they started to feel a little colder than before. Then they saw movement in the darkness. They followed it, and saw a light. They ran towards it and found themselves in an elaborate bedroom with 3 beds, one of which had Akuyume on top of it. Uranus and Neptune poised to fight.
"Calm down please!" Akuyume cried. "Look, I'm sorry about hat I did to you before. Let's be friends now. We should have a slumber party now so we can get to know each other better. So get into your pajamas."
Neptune said "Do we look like we carry our pajamas on us?" "Well then I guess you're going to have to attend dressed as you are." Uranus said "We'd never attend an event like that with the likes of you. Besides why would we do so in our uniforms?"
"What these things?" Akuyume asked as she pulled out Uranus and Neptune's Sailor shirts and skirts from behind her bed. "They're nice and all, but for lack of pajamas what you're wearing is the next best thing."
Uranus and Neptune were greatly surprised to see her holding their clothes. Then they realized the implications of her holding them, and looked down at themselves. Their fears were confirmed; they were wearing only their socks, shoes, gloves and underwear. Uranus had a bra and panties set that were brown with yellow images of her planet symbol printed all over them. Neptune's skivvies were silver with a blue Neptune planet symbol dotted on them.
No wonder they felt a bit colder before exiting the tunnel, Akuyume had stripped them as they were walking. They blushed, but that didn't stop them. They were still prepared to fight. Akuyume could tell this and leapt out the window. Neptune ran towards the window, but Uranus hesitated for a few seconds. "What are you waiting for?" Neptune asked. Uranus said "This is really embarrassing." Neptune replied "Well then all the more reason to chase her, so we can get back our clothes." "Okay, you're right." Uranus responded. "It's not like there's any real people to see us."
They leapt out the window and chased after the Daimon. When they found her, Uranus attacked. "World shaking!" she yelled. Her blast hit Akuyume sending her flying and causing her to drop their clothes. They quickly ran over to them and put them back on.
"I don't care what else she does to us I don't want that to ever happen again!" Uranus said, relieved to be dressed again. They went to search for Akuyume. Suddenly, a cloud appeared over them and started raining pepper. Uranus and Neptune started sneezed. Then, suddenly they sneezed a huge sneeze that sent them flying backwards. They landed on a spring that sent them tumbling down a hill.
After recovering, Akuyume appeared before them. Out of nowhere she pulled 2 cream pies and threw them in their faces. While they cleaned their eyes, a trapdoor in the ground opened up and they went falling down a long row of steps. They landed in a tub of boiling hot water. It was so hot they jumped out immediately and ran all the way back up the stairs.
"How is she doing all this at once? I thought she was only capable of short bursts of pranking." Neptune said as they just rested on the ground, still too hot to do anything. Akuyume showed up as if to answer that question. "In other parts of your dream I was only able to access limited amounts of energy at a time. But now we're in the area where I can access the nightmare energy in your bodies all the time. Oh and by the way there is no going back to where I'm weaker now! But don't worry, I've had enough fun with you for now. I'm going to let my friends have a turn with you."
Akuyume disappeared as Uranus and Neptune got up. They heard a bell approaching and looked around. They saw a purple-skinned cat-like Daimon in a polka dot outfit. It was Nekonell, a Daimon they had faced before. Neptune wasted no time in attacking her. With a cry of "Deep Submerge!" she hit her with an attack that blew her to the puzzle pieces she was made of.
They went off in search of Akuyume. As they did so, the puzzle pieces that were the remains of Nekonell started moving towards each other. Uranus and Neptune had forgotten her power, that she can put herself back together. It would prove to be a humiliating mistake.
Uranus and Neptune stopped for a second to look around. Nekonell spotted them and saw her chance. She quietly leapt towards them then snuck behind the two. She bared her claws and slashed them multiple times, but it seemed to have no effect. She then leaped in front of them. Uranus cried "She's back!" in a surprised tone of voice. The Outer Soldiers got ready to fight.
That's when the intent of Nekonell's attack was revealed. As soon as Uranus and Neptune moved, their clothes fell apart into countless tiny pieces. The Daimon's claws had shredded their uniforms, their gloves, and even their socks and shoes but left their underwear intact.
This wardrobe malfunction stopped Uranus and Neptune in their tracks. They blushed even more than they did the first time they were stripped. Nekonell laughed at them as they attempted to cover themselves, and her laughter was joined by others. Uranus and Neptune looked at the source of the new laughter and saw that Sailor Moon, the Inner Soldiers and Chibi Moon were present. Chibi said "What's really funny is that my underwear isn't as silly as theirs."
Neptune asked "What are you doing here?" Uranus said "Who cares, just help us!" "We didn't come here to help you." Sailor Venus said. "I brought us here just so we could watch this." Mercury said. "Remember when you left us to fight her alone?" Mars asked. "Well now it's payback time." Jupiter said.
"Please Sailor Moon!" Uranus pleaded. "You said you wanted to work with us, not against us." Moon glared angrily at her. "I used to, but recently I realized that there is no hope for anyone who would even think of sacrificing innocent people even to save the world." She turned to Nekonell. "So go ahead, kill them for all I care."
She and the other Inner soldiers laughed as Nekonell moved to attack Uranus and Neptune. This humiliation was just too much for the Outer Soldiers. They ran, and Nekonell chased after them. But no matter how far they ran, it seemed that the Inner Soldiers' mocking laughter followed them.
Eventually they lost Nekonell and hid in a junkyard. They began to root for the piles of trash for anything that would pass for clothing. After some digging, Uranus pulled out a top and skirt that looked exactly like her destroyed Sailor uniform. Neptune also pulled out something that strongly resembled her late outfit.
"This is perfect!" Uranus said. Neptune was skeptical. "Don't you find this a little suspicious, like somebody wants us to put these on?" Uranus said "Are you kidding me? How could re-clothing ourselves make it worse?" She put her new outfit on, and Neptune did the same.
Now dressed again, they set off to find Akuyume. Suddenly out of nowhere a strong blast of wind blew them away. It was so strong that they had to hold onto a streetlight in order to not be blown away.
Eventually the wind died, and after Uranus and Neptune got back on ground they saw who was responsible. It was Osoji, the vacuum cleaner Daimon they had once fought in a junkyard much like the one they just left. She flipped a switch on her arm, and instead of blowing Uranus and Neptune away she started to suck them in.
They grabbed the streetlight again for support. But this time something different happened. The wind began tugging at their clothes, and after a minute they were sucked off. "No!" Uranus cried as the two Soldiers blushed again.
Osoji laughed at them then turned her vacuum off. Uranus and Neptune still clinged to the streetlight, and it's a good thing they did because Osoji put her vacuum into reverse again. As Uranus and Neptune hung on to the streetlight for dear life, they noticed their tops and skirts flying towards them.
"My clothes!" Uranus took one hand off the streetlight in an attempt to grab at least one half of her uniform. But this was a mistake; the force of the wind was too strong and she lost her grip. Neptune reached out a hand to grab her by the leg but she too lost her hold of the streetlight and together they were blown away.
After Uranus and Neptune tossed and turned in the Daimon-made gale for a while, they landed back on solid ground next to railroad tracks. After they got up, they noticed their clothes falling from the sky and onto the tracks.
Uranus leaped at the chance to get her clothes back. "Wait!" Neptune cried. "What if a train comes along?" "We'll have plenty of warning!" Uranus replied. Neptune joined her and they went onto the tracks and put their clothes back on.
The second they had finished walls rose from the ground, trapping them on the railroad. They were getting ready to blast them down when they heard the sound of an oncoming train. They turned to look.
They saw that it wasn't a train per se but Toden(?), a Daimon made from a train. As soon as they realized it was her Uranus and Neptune ran as fast as they could. But it was no use, she caught up with them. She hit them with a force so strong that they were knocked right out of their clothes and were sent flying over the walls.
They landed with a particularly loud thump. They got back on their feet then realized that they were missing their clothes. But before they had time to blush, they heard the sound of a train. They looked and saw Toden heading for them. She was technically off the rails as in she wasn't on the line of tracks that she had first encountered Uranus and Neptune on, but was turning the areas in front of her into railroad tracks so that she could move wherever now.
She was heading straight toward them. Uranus and Neptune ran faster than they ever had before. They were really scared of what would happen if she hit them this time. Somehow, they ran fast enough to lose her.
They stopped and started fanning themselves when what should they notice on the ground but new Sailor costumes, seemingly left there just for them. This time neither of them questioned their good fortune.
Then as they searched for the enemy, they found another enemy instead. A Daimon made of glass and dressed in a Spartan-esque bikini appeared. It was Senishenta, another old foe of theirs. Uranus and Neptune prepared to fight, but she blasted them causing their clothes to turn to glass. The glass spread until it imprisoned them in their tracks.
The Outer Soldiers struggled. Senishenta turned her right arm into a sword and ran towards them. They panicked, and struggled even more. Eventually they managed to tip themselves over and shattered the glass, freeing them. It left them in their underwear, but they were too busy running away from the laughing Daimon to complain. After a long chase they did lose her, and even found more clothes after wandering around in their underwear for a bit.
But like clockwork, shortly after re-clothing themselves a Daimon appeared. She was blue and wearing a one piece swimsuit as well as a diving cap. It was Dovlin, a Daimon made of water. She used her powers to hit Uranus and Neptune with arms made of water. They were a little battered and bruised, but still not shaken enough that they couldn't fight back. They blasted her with their signature attacks and that was the end of her.
Uranus and Neptune stood wet but victorious. "Finally, we beat one of them and kept our clothes on!" Neptune said. But she spoke a little too soon. As they walked away in search of Akuyume, they felt their clothes becoming tighter. They looked down, and saw that their clothes were getting smaller.
"The water is causing our clothes to shrink?! Oh come on!" Uranus shouted. Their clothes got tighter and tighter until they popped right off. By the time they were done decreasing in size, they were so small that even Chibi Moon wouldn't have been able to wear them.
Speaking of Chibi Moon, they suddenly heard the sound of her laughter. It was joined by the other Sailors. Uranus and Neptune blushed again. Running away from Daimon in their underwear was bad enough, but being seen in such an embarrassing state was humiliating.
"Since it doesn't look like the enemy is going to do the job, let's finish them off ourselves!" Sailor Moon said with a sinister smile on her face. She and the Inner Soldiers began to move towards Uranus and Neptune. They ran before they could get too close.
Eventually they lost them while hiding in an abandoned building. While they were there they found more clothes lying about. They left, but almost immediately bumped into Chibi Moon. "You're gonna pay for how you treated my friends." she said. "Pink Sugar Heart Attack!" she cried as she let forth a stream of pink hearts.
Uransu and Neptune made some effort to dodge, but not a lot as they recalled how much trouble Chibi Moon usually has landing her attack on its intended target. But unlike in real life her attack was not only accurate, but very effective. When they were hit, the hearts hurt them a lot. After only a few seconds they fell on the floor writhing in agony.
Chibi Moon stopped when this happened and laughed at their misfortune. As she did that she started to change. Her eyes became glassier, her skin more plastic-looking. Uranus and Neptune realized she was turning into a doll, and a creepy one at that. She started to walk towards them. They ran away fast.
Eventually Uranus and Neptune lost her. But then they ran into Sailor Venus. "Look at you, running scared from a little girl! That reminds me of a song." She grabbed a microphone and started singing. Her voice was terrible and terribly loud. Uranus and Neptune covered their ears and closed their eyes, desperately trying to block out the sound.
At its loudest, the sound of Venus' song blew their clothes right off of them. Eventually it ended, and Uranus and Neptune began to recover their senses. Venus started to laugh and point at them. Uranus and Neptune quickly realized that they had been reduced to their underwear yet again. "Haha! Can't keep your clothes on can you? The two of you would make great strippers!" Venus said with a manic level of glee. The Outers couldn't help but blush a little at this remark.
Like Chibi Moon, as Venus laughed she began to change into something. Her nose became red and rubbery, her skin became pale and her hair was suddenly rainbow colored. She had transformed into a monster clown, and her laugh had turned into something horrific-sounding.
Uranus and Neptune ran as she sprayed a liquid from a seltzer bottle at them. It turned out that running from her was the smart thing, as this liquid was acid that melted the ground as soon as it came in contact with it. She then started to throw cream pies at them. But these weren't ordinary cream pies, these were explosive ones.
Uranus and Neptune had to doge explosions for a while, but after a particularly big one managed to lose their current pursuer. They stumbled across more clothes, and after putting them on Uranus said "Next time we see another Sailor we are not staying to talk or fight with any of them!" They ran off hoping to find Akuyume, but only a minute later a giant trapdoor opened up beneath them.
They fell into a huge bowl of sticky dumplings and became stuck to one. A giant Sailor Moon appeared over them. "I've always wanted to have some meat with my dumplings!' she said as she picked up the dumpling with the Outers on it. She tossed it into her mouth and began to chew.
Fortunately for Uranus and Neptune, her chewing broke the dumpling into pieces small enough that they could maneuver around. Unfortunately for the Outers, their clothes were quickly cut up by the edges of her teeth as she tried to bite them leaving them stripped to their skivvies yet again.
Sailor Moon finished swallowing the dumpling but wasn't going to stop until she ate the Sailor Soldiers. Uranus aimed at her tongue and cried "World Shaking!" The blast hit, and caused her to yell in pain. The force of her voice sent Uranus and Neptune flying out of her mouth. They managed to land gracefully and started running. Sailor Moon quickly followed after them, now transformed into an ugly purple-skinned monster. Uranus and Neptune saw a tunnel and went into it, for the giant was too small to follow them.
They ran and they ran until they reached the end. They weren't going to give her a chance to try to reach in and grab them. When they came out, they found more clothes waiting for them. Uranus as usual was the first to put them on, but Neptune was starting to question the point of it. "What's the use of putting more clothes on? We'll probably just lose them again later." Uranus said "I won't stop trying!" Neptune just shrugged and put her clothes back on as well.
As they walked away, the ground suddenly became hot. They yelped and jumped onto a rock that had suddenly risen up in front of them. Other similar rocks appeared around them as the ground turned into lava. A particularly big rock appeared with Sailor Mars on top of it.
"Burning Mandala!" she cried. Dozens of fireballs flew through the air. Uranus and Neptune started jumping from rock to rock in an attempt to doge them. Eventually they were able to split up in order to make themselves a harder target. It worked for a while, but then two big fireballs hit them. They stopped, dropped and rolled. They put out the fires before they could seriously harm them, but their clothes here burnt to ashes.
Mars laughed at the sight of the mighty Outer Soldiers reduced to running from her in their underwear. Uranus and Neptune ran until they were out of her range. After they reached solid ground away from the lava pit they heard a roar. They looked back to see Mars turning into a dragon. She flew towards them breathing fire.
They ran as fast as they could. They hid in a hole in the ground until Mars flew past them. They went out and ran in the opposite direction of Mars and into a forest where they found some clothes hanging on a tree. After they put them on Jupiter appeared.
"You're willing to let people die." she said in a voice that was tranquil but laced with fury. Uranus and Neptune ran as she raised her hands and cried "Supreme Thunder!" Lightning rained down from the sky and hit the Outer Soldiers, shocking them. Then Jupiter cried "This is for Makoto!" as she readied for her next attack.
Uranus and Neptune fled the forest. They had no idea why Sailor Jupiter was still upset that they were okay with Makoto dying if she had a talisman in her. They had no idea yet that she and Sailor Jupiter were one and the same. "Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Jupiter screamed as she launched her next attack. It then homed in on the Outer Soldiers.
Uranus and Neptune ran as fast as they could, but her attack still caught up to them. They experienced a very sharp pain as the electricity surged through their bodies. It became so great that it caused them to jump out of their clothes and go flying through the air. They landed on the ground paralyzed.
They recovered, and saw their clothes in the distance. Uranus became really embarrassed when she saw Jupiter laughing at them as she walked toward them. She attempted to make a run for her clothes but Neptune stopped her.
"It's not worth it." she said. Uranus screamed "I don't care! I won't run around in my underwear!" Then Jupiter got directly in their way. "Neither of you deserve to wear clothes, ever again!" She yelled as she grew bigger. Her skin turned green, and her outfit's colors changed to a tiger pattern. She had become an oni with a huge club in her hand. Uranus and Neptune ran for it, but Jupiter smacked them and sent them hurtling through the air.
They landed in a city and even found more clothes. But as soon as they put them on, they heard a strange sound. They looked and saw that it was the monster Inner Sailors running in their direction. Neptune gatherer her energy. "Deep submerge!" she cried, and unleashed a bigger than normal attack.
It was surprisingly effective. It stopped them for a good solid minute, giving Uranus and Neptune time to flee. After running for a while they spotted Mugen Academy. They managed to lose their pursuers just before they entered through a doorway. They found that there was a class being held by Sailor Mercury. She turned to them.
"Oh good! You're here in time to take the test." Uranus and Neptune looked at each other. The latter said "Um, we were just hiding here from these scary people who were chasing us and-" Mercury interrupted her. "I'm sorry, but you can't leave here until you take the test." Uranus said. "Well we are going to go now." She turned to the door, and tried to open it but it was locked. They looked at Mercury.
"I told you. But guess what? You have an extra incentive to take the test. I'm going to give everyone who passes it whatever they want as a special reward, because I feel generous today." Uranus and Neptune thought about this. "This might be our only way out of here, so we'll do it" Uranus said. Mercury handed them papers and pencils. Uranus and Neptune sat down and started answering the questions. "This isn't so bad." Neptune said.
