A girl with long yellow hair appeared, as she was outside the AAW headquarters. She hid behind a wall, held up a diamond pen, and started to transform. She glowed in a sparkling white aura, as she changed into a pink dress and skirt. She went inside the main entrance, as the door closed.

Meanwhile, at the United Nations, Robin Mask was in a conference, as he showed a sample clip of Onigiri killing the Video Game World.

Robin spoke, "Attention, fellow representatives. The clip we have received was simply proof of The AAW's permission of helping out. We have forbidden all agents to hunt her down, but we cannot overlook this drama, since Onigiri has killed many and many."

Japan said, "I agree with what Robin says. This Onigiri is purery evir."

Ramenman, a Choujin in black hair, said, while having noodles, "Permit me in saying so, Mr. Honda, but suppose there should be action, without the AAW interfering."

Terryman, a man in a red plaid shirt and blonde hair said, "We do. But we're past our prime. We're old enough to retire, and with this whole Alternate World mess-up, caused by the little lady, there is nothing we can do."

Italy giggled, "If you ever need a white flag to surrender, you know where to find me!"

Robin said, "That may be so. But the only groups we trust are both the Lucky Star Association of Alternate Worlds Studies and The Department of City Security. I had them cross-examined by India Rep, Curry Cook, and our German Rep, Ludwig, and they have been proven as the ISIS of superheroes. But we cannot count them out."

Terry said, "WHOO-WHEE! They sure are fiery firecrackers. Personally, I don't approve of The Gang in AAW, after their mishap in North City, before Daten City."

Ramenman remarked, "And old proverb says it – Task for one, manned by more, leads to disaster. The Gang has been AAW's leading agents, but in a mission that is meant for one person, as a group, they sometimes screw things up… like some people we know."

Robin said, "Truer words, Ramenman of China. Since we have no one to object to this, we shall conduct a meeting with one of the agents in AAW. Moreover, the person with the video of Onigiri's rampage and carnage wishes to remain anonymous. Therefore, we shall set up a meeting and conference with one member of Kanaka Nanase's choosing, and he or she will testify for them. Should we approve of their appeal, we shall allow the Alliance Across the World to hunt down this Onigiri. Any objections?"

Japan raised his hand and asked, "Can we reschedure the appear meeting, whenever my berry isn't hurt? I have bad feering concerning this situation."

Robin asked, "And what might that be, Mister Honda of Japan?"

Japan shuddered, as his face turned pale blue, "I fear that ghosts may appear, again… Surery you remember, Robin Mask, that The Gang hunted in Daten City, homerand to many ghosts, ghours, and demons."

He continued, as Robin sighed, "Any other objections?"

Chapter 33
Sailor Senshi Attack! (Part 1)
(セーラー戦士の攻撃！の巻)
(a.k.a. The Rogue Scouts)

NOTE: In honor of Sailor Moon's 20th Anniversary, and the upcoming Sailor Moon anime reboot, July 5th, this arc is dedicated to Sailor Moon and the series, in general.

At AAW, the woman entered Kanaka Nanase's office, as an uninvited guest. She smiled and said, "Welcome, Miss. To what do I owe you the pleasure?"

The girl, who has long yellow hair in a ponytail, with her pink dress on, introduced herself, "My name is Usagi Tsukino. I represent Super S Industries, a subsidiary of Moon Peach Enterprises. And I was wondering if I have a moment of your time."

"If it's an emergency, please do," Kanaka said, "But it's not, so leave."

"It is an emergency. Super S Industries is failing, and all because four bad girls has ruined business, in public." Usagi said.

Kanaka said, "Go on."

Usagi said, "Well, I don't mean to tell you this, since I am in need of any of your finest agents you have. About four will do."

Kanaka responded, "How high is the danger level? Please say it."

"It involves water, fire, thunder, and love. And it's badly corrupt."

"Oh! Corruption? Then I know just the people. They are located in the main office, with one replacing one of our best agents."

Kanaka called to The Gang, "ATTENTION!"

They ignored her, as they were lounging in their desks. Mizuki was reading and typing, while Heather was snoozing. Peter was reading a book, Farra was writing with her free arm, Asahi was having tea, and Steven C was stretching back a bit, on his chair.

She sighed, "Idiots…"

She replied, "Simply this is what they do. They are usually slackers, and immediate boredom-prone. But, that's what they do – save the alternate worlds from evil and boredom."

Usagi said, "I MAY need them. After all, they are your best."

Kanaka retorted, "Actually, they're our B-Squad. Our A-Squad is currently on patrol."

Usagi saluted, "We don't need them, if they are on B-Squad, and the A-Squad is tied up, at the moment. Let us call the American Superheroes and the Ultra Brothers, right away!"

Heather responded, "Oh, they can't help you. It's been 30 years now, and they have been long retired."

Usagi gasped, "WHAT?"

Steven C explained, "Well, the Ultra Brothers have retired in a hot springs resort in Osaka, while PP Man couldn't make it, since he's eating a huge cake. And The Spider Boy, another local superhero, broke his ass bone. Steven Cooke hears that he's in intensive care, for ten years. Luckily, he's doing okay, other than turning off the dark."

The Gang looked at Usagi, as Usagi asked, "And you guys are the only ones left?"

Percival appeared and said, "We may not look it, but these guys are very special. The Gang is not just your everyday superhero rock band; they are simply the best in the world, at saving the day."

He continued, "While we have NO superheroes in this alternate fuck feast, the help is provided by us."

Usagi sobbed, "Then Earth is doomed…"

The rest of The Gang heard the words, as they sat up, in a gleam of concern and determination, as Usagi said the Earth was doomed. Kanaka yelled, "Oh, NOW you're in attention?"

Percival barked, "We look up to The Beatles, The Monkees, KISS, The Aquabats, NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and anybody that has glitz, glamour, and even their own TV show and/or movie. To us, we're unique."

Usagi scoffed, "HAH!"

Kanaka said, "Oh, get on with it."

He saluted, "Ladies and gentlemen… THE GANG!"

Peter sat up, as he danced.
Great tasting Gyudon for three hundred years
It's quick, and it's tasty, and it's very cheap! Ha-HA!
(A cow bonks his head)

Asahi was embarrassed, "How very awkward."

Usagi asked, "So, I see that you six are heroes."

Farra said, "Mostly towards ghosts and such. But we've had bad moments, including our battle in F City, long ago, and again in the Great White Ocean. Somehow we hardly win… other than people that saved the day that's not us."

Percival said, "Well, cut the other supporting cast members a break!"

Mizuki said, "You need a hero, come see us. We got the tools and the gadgets."

Steven C said, "Not to mention the cool moves, homey."

Asahi refuted, smiling nervously, "I'm new to the group…"

Usagi snuffed, "These guys are too arrogant."

He smiled, as he blushed, "Steven Cooke is flattered to meet you."

Asahi and Mizuki pulled him away, as Percival asked, "So, what brings you here, Miss-."

"Tsukino. Usagi Tsukino. I am in need of your services." She bowed.

She thought, "Not much, but they'll do. Simply D-level Negaverse losers (more to say)."

She said, "I represent the faction Super S Industries. And our company is in crisis. I need you to protect the worlds from a villainous group of Pretty Soldiers?"

Peter gasped, "What, me?"

Heather remarked, "You didn't need to hire us. Why couldn't you call the Ultra Brothers of PP Man? But then again, I already said what's about these guys, so never mind."

Steven C barked, "I told her about PP Peanut Man or whatever!"

Heather barked, "And I said that they are long retired!"

Usagi explained, "I am in need of you guys, for this reason. And Miss Nanase, if you don't mind…"

Kanaka said, "Agreed. I must be curious about these Pretty Soldiers, too."

Mizuki closed the blinds, as Heather set up the projector. Usagi showed the slides of the Pretty Soldiers. She responded that it may be unsuitable for adults like The Gang, since the Pretty Soldiers are around the ages of 16 to 18.

Usagi said, "These Sailor Soldiers, or Senshis, as they're called, are heroes, but they acted rogue, which is very mysterious. We want you to detain and restrain these girls, dead or alive, at all costs, or Super S Industries will go out of business. First up, Sailor Mercury."

A scene of Sailor Mercury, doing her transformation, is shown. Usagi said, "She undergoes the alias, Ami Mizuno. Not only she's a cute girl, but she is very intelligent. Her powers are a bubble spray, ice attack, and can even detect security devices, with a small electronic notepad."

Farra blushed, "Blue is a great color…"

Steven C remarked, "Mercury is nothing."

Asahi said, "She's too cute, but not cute enough."

Heather giggled, "Easy, easy."

Kanaka gasped, "WHOA! I've never seen The Gang this confident, before. That, or they think it's too easy."

A scene of Sailor Mars is shown, with her transformation. Usagi explained, "Next, Sailor Mars. She's the baddest of the group, who controls the element of fire. She undergoes an alias of a young shrine owner, Rei Hino. She has mystical powers, and is an expert of ninjitsu."

Steven C smiled, "Black hair and red suit… Such beauty, with a fiery soul. She's a pushover."

Asahi smiled, "Oh, it's not bad, but I don't want to get singed, or anything."

Peter huffed, "Hmph! He no tsuppari wa iran desu yo!"

Kanaka gasped, "OOH! Kotoba no imi wa yoku wakaran ga, tonikaku sugoi jishin!"

Mizuki said, "Knowing us, we know when we mean business."

Usagi showed a scene of Sailor Jupiter, doing her Supreme Thunder, "This here is Makoto Kino, a.k.a. Sailor Jupiter. She is the strongest and fiercest member of the scouts, and her element is thunder and earth."

The thunder crashed, as Peter and Kanaka hid behind the desk.

Percival shouted, "HEY! What are you two doing?"

Kanaka and Peter sobbed, "Scary…"

Mizuki groaned, smacking her forehead, "It's just a little thunder attack."

Percival shouted, "You idiot!"

Usagi shows a scene of Sailor Venus's transformation, "This here is the boldest, but the beautiful of the four, Sailor Venus, also known as Sailor V! Her real name is Minako Aino, and before the alternate worlds came to be, she was Japan's bravest superhero, prior to the arrival of Sailor Moon."

Peter said, "Knowing the ever-talented Sailor V, King Giese will give her his Justice Railway Upper!"

Usagi cried, "But she fires a Crescent Beam!"

Heather cheered, "HEY! Croissant Beam?"

They all fell in a THUD, as Heather giggled, "Eh, heh, heh, heh, heh…"

Kanaka said, "I'm sure that you six will handle it, except for Farra, who is on medical suspension, due to her right arm being shot."

Farra said, "Well, at least Hibiya didn't shot off my left arm. That was my good strumming arm."

Peter smiled, "Besides, we can take them down. Easy!"

Usagi said, "Well, I have a slide of the ringleader."

She showed a scene of Sailor Moon's transformation. She said, "She is the one named Sailor Moon, and she is the leader of the Sailor Senshi. Her real name is still a mystery, but we hear that she is a brave leader, and as the champion of love and justice. We know little of her, but we hear that she's very strong. We also learn that she is somewhat clumsy and a bit of a crybaby. But that's all."

Mizuki glared, "My eternal rival!"

Kanaka gasped, "Huh? You know of her?"

Mizuki said, "You see, Sailor Moon and Card Master Peach are one in the same."

In a flashback, Mizuki started to pose in a mirror, as she narrated, "It was at that moment, when I learned of Sailor Moon, I poured all my sweat and tears into my training, and evade my hatred for sweaty and fat otaku…"

Mizuki started running in the rain, with a tire dragging behind her, tied with a rope around her waist. Her coach watched on, as he was amazed, "Mizuki Takase, my student… The one called Moon cannot beat the beautiful moon (Mizuki) through cuteness. You're above that."

Mizuki narrated, as she practiced and parodied the Moon Tiara Magic, with a Frisbee, extinguishing flames off the candles, "In order to maintain my focus on a masterful technique, I endured even the most rigorous of training."

Mizuki started to hit softballs from the machine, as she kept hitting in precision. Her coach bellowed, "Keep going! All magical girls are about love, beauty, and cute looks. There is but ONE motive you have that others don't… HEART AND JUSTICE!"

Mizuki was doing a yoga pose, with her back bent backwards, while on her knees.
"AUGH! What kind of training is that?!"

Mizuki stood tall, as she was calm and serious. "And with my body and chi in a calm focus, my training was complete."

She added, "It wouldn't be long before I learned how to be Card Master Peach, when I wanted to become a cosplayer. It wasn't just about my boobs… It was about my love for cosplay. And thus, I was birthed the NEXT Card Master Peach. Of course, I didn't know Miss Sakurai voiced her in the animes."

Steven was shocked, "No way… And I thought Taishi was bullshitting you!"

Peter griped, "Who the hell was Coach?!"

Mizuki spoke like one of the Yomiuri Giants, "Ot ōsan! My newest finishing move is set, as Card Master Peach!"

Percival hugged Mizuki and sobbed, "Well done, my son! You did it!"

Mizuki was former Giant, Kazushige Nagashima, while Percival was his father, Shigeo Nagashima.

Kanaka sighed, "Why me…"

Steven asked, "Steven Cooke has a question, and NO ONE interrupt me. Exactly what does Super S Industries do, per se?"

Usagi said, "Super S Industries is a special makeup and cosmetics company. Its most famous item in the company is the ever popular shine lip gloss – Available in 12 designer colors, including Millennium Silver. But these days, the Rogue Senshis here uses the product, as a way of flaunting and flirting. But… Using their powers, they somehow made this slogan:
"Sailor Senshi uses Super S Makeup, for the PERFECT war paint for battles."

Asahi said, "You made that up."

Usagi said, "I know. But the product had BAD reputation."

Percival said, "But why would a makeup company be in danger, by five preteen girls in leotards?"

Peter said, "Dude, think about it. Look closely at these ladies. They are very sexy, but not enough to please many men."

He stated, "Shikashi, tabun… (But, maybe…) Maybe they are trying to get some eye-candy. Knowing these girls, they'll do anything for attention."

Usagi griped, "CRAZY! These girls are violent and hostile! NOT preteen hookers!"

WHAM!
Peter gets hit with a basin. He moaned, as he was dizzy, "I knew that…"

Farra jeered, "Moron!"

Percival shouted at him, "And since when did you start speaking Japanese?"

Farra said, "Call me crazy, but… You never explained to us why they'd terrorize the company."

Usagi said, "Well, if you guys shut up, I'll be glad to tell you!"

She explained the story:
"It happened, prior to the beginning of these worlds. I opened the Super S Industries, to assure beauty and love. However, four girls came to me and wanted to do business. They wanted 50% profit for the hair products and makeup. I refused, but they didn't take "NO" for an answer. In the end, I was offered 25% of the cut, but could not share it with Ami, Rei, Makoto, and Minamo. They bailed on me, turned into the Rogue Senshis, and threatened to close down the company. They made good promotional ads, but also made bad facts about the products.
The good: Super S lipstick shines on in a ruby red; The bad: The lipstick swells the lips up (LIES!).
The good: Super S has blush in pink and red; The bad: It has very little blush effect, and it works on the stomach (LIES!).
The good: Super S mascara makes your eyes clear and glamorous; The bad: You cry, and it runs easily (ALL LIES!)."

Usagi complained, "I just couldn't take it, anymore. They used plagiarism and false advertisement to ruin my business. I had my crack staff of lawyers to send subpoenas to the Senshis, but…"

She trembled, as she remembered Sailor Mars incinerating the lawyers with her Fire Soul, while Sailor Venus destroyed the subpoenas with her Crescent Beam. She said, as she was in tears, "It's so sad… I wanted it to stop, but they chose violence. What happened to the girls I know?"

Mizuki asked, "If I didn't know better, I would say that you knew these girls."

Usagi huffed, "Former friends… They worked for me. They had a complaint about each of the products I had, and they were all STUPID! So I fired them."

Percival said, "That explains why you wanted them to stop. This is pretty much the BIGGEST mission we have. Before the AU panic, the Sailor Soldiers were popular, along with Sailor Moon."

Heather said, "But lately, they faded from existence."

Percival replied, "But if they returned, seeing that they want chaos to Super S Industries, and also the worlds, we'll stop them."

Usagi smiled and bowed, "Oh, thank you! You are so kind to help!"

Peter said, "Anshin… The Sailor Senshi will be detained by AAW, by any means necessary."

Asahi asked, "Who's Anshin?"

Mizuki said, "You remember? It means rest assured…"

She blushed, "I taught him Japanese words and phrases, after we saw "Kinnikuman vs. the Giant Monster of Cilrag", last week. But he knows what he's saying."

Peter said, "A Kinniku Beam to that monster's horn! What a huge motive! OUTTA SIGHT!"

Percival said, as he calmed Peter down, "We'll take the job. Where are their last known whereabouts?"

Usagi said, "Well, they are all located in the huge city of Crystal Park. This is where each Senshi is located, depending on the location. Moreover, each place has a different theme to it. And also, I had bugs on the girls, or tracking devices in their blouses, to know their exact location."

Asahi remarked, "That's fair. They must be pre-transformation, while they are acting evil. But do they know that they have bugs?"

Usagi replied, "Oh, not just any bugs."

She viewed the map and saw four faint signals. The red dots show of a Sailor Scout, in each area, but immovable. It also shows the name of each Senshi. Usagi said, "It's a two-person mission. Giese and Takase will take the Western Area, where Sailor Venus is located, Gaynes and Cooke will confront Sailor Mercury in the Sakura Area, Stevens and Dunn will man the Night City Area, where Sailor Jupiter is located last, and that leaves Sailor Mars… Huh. All that's left is the newcomer."

Asahi bowed, "I have a name. It's Asahi Sakurai. And… You mean I have to go at it, alone?"

Percival said, "No. I'll have someone guide you there. Luckily, I know of a person."

Usagi then gave The Gang some black devices, with an LED monitor on it. She explained that it'll detect where the Scout is located. But also, it'll display where the rouge Senshi is, via a 3D display of the map.

Farra said, "Third-dimension…"

Steven C said, "Well, I'd be honored to help, but isn't Farra injured?"

Farra griped, "Excuse me?"

Kanaka said, "Miss Stevens, I hereby reinstate you, for this mission. We need ALL the help."

Percival and Heather protested, as Mizuki nodded, "Good call. Without Farra, our mission means nothing."

Asahi said, "And think of the exotic places will see in Crystal Park."

Peter asked, "One question… Where is Crystal Park, and what is it?"

Percival said, "I'll map out the location of the park, while we suit up. Also, I'll explain it, later. Gang, move out! I'll meet you later!"

They all dashed off, as Percival left to get a phone call.

Usagi said, "They are our last hope… for Super S."

Kanaka then asked, "Uh, one thing… Is it true that the facial cream gives rashes? I, uh, applied it, the other day, and my face was normal."

Usagi said, "Like I said… False Advertisements."

Kanaka said, "I know. And I threw that away, too."

Usagi smiled, "No matter. We'll get you a brand-new moisturizer for FREE."

Kanaka giggled, "Thanks!"

Percival was on the phone with a friend of his. It was Michelle, calling from Targus City.

"You picked a good time to call me," she said, "I got surrounded by robot women, fawning like I'm someone else."

Percival said, "I wish I could help you, but… Wait, what?"

Michelle said, "I… It's a long story. Do you think you can pick me up?"

Percival sighed, "Fine… But you tell me your story, when you get back. I'll have AAW agents pick you up. For now, try to hide and lose them, and meet the helicopter at the middle of downtown."

She griped, "You better."

She hung up, as the robot girls continued to look for her. She grumbled, "I blame Peter for this. Do I look like him? I'm not fat!"

XXXXX

Peter felt a shiver, as he said, "I don't know why, but remind me to slug Michelle, if I see her."

Mizuki asked, "Why, what's wrong?"

Peter remarked, "Nothing. But it feels like, right now, she may have insulted me… in the worst possible moment."

She smiled, "She's like that. But I wish I knew what you mean."

She thought, as she was completely annoyed, "Seriously, he must've been eating too much."

Hours later, Michelle was in the middle of the courtyard, panting for air. She was sitting in the bench, completely exhausted. She then viewed a helicopter, flying towards her. A figure waved at her. It was a girl with her brown hair in a ponytail. She was AAW Covert Agent, Kirsten Thomas.

"Michelle Nevins, I presume?" Kirsten called.

Michelle got up from the bench, as the helicopter hovered down. A ladder fell, as Michelle grabbed on.

Michelle shouted, "OKAY! Pull me up!"

One girl cried, "AH! THERE HE IS!"

Harley, a boy with dark skin and black hair, grabbed the wheel and hovered upward. The helicopter went up, while Michelle was dangling in the ladder.

"HEY! What the devil are you doing?" She cried, up in the air, "PULL ME UP!"

Kirsten cried, "Psycho gynoids attack you?"

"NO! Peter Giese's fan base!" Michelle huffed.

She climbed up the ladder, as the robots called for her, "WE LOVE YOU!"
"OH, PETER!"
"YOU'RE SO ADORABLE!"

Kirsten sighed, as she pulled Michelle up, "You had it rough."

Harley said, "Not easy being a fan magnet…"

Kirsten smirked, "Welcome to Agent Giese's world…"

Michelle sat down, with her seatbelt on, "Jesus… Why do they think I was him? I am NOT a boy!"

Kirsten asked, "Uh, those robots think you're a man?"

"I had an angel thinking I was a man. I have small breasts, and have a tomboyish physique. I'm a lady, but I don't dress in frilly gowns."

Kirsten and Harley laughed frantically, as they think it was amusing, "ARE YOU KIDDING?"

He laughed, "YOU? A BOY? You thought… they think you were…"

They laughed again, "AH, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA, HA!"

Michelle grumbled, "I've got to get a new line of work."

She asked, "So, if hilarity time is over, where's your base of operations?"

Harley said, "Well, since you and Percival know each other, Agent Nevins of Feral Beauty…"

She asked, "Wait. How'd you know my line of work?"

He continued, "He insisted on hiring you to join The Gang. He'll explain when we get there. Plus, Feral Beauty and AAW are allies in the battle to protect the worlds."

Michelle said, "Well, be that as it may, let's hope we don't get into any damage, like in Daten City. We had it rough."

Kirsten said, "Yeah, we heard. The Gang stopped Rebecca Miyamoto and Rei Tachibana. That was solid work."

Harley added, "And blow me down, if something else happened, following the disaster in Daten."

Michelle thought, "You don't even want to know…"

She still remembers Project Yamo that broke Steven C's heart. She, along with the other Gang members, promised not to mention it, or bring it up, again, to Steven.

She said, "I hope my brother comes, too. He has been deep help. He's a master of the martial arts."

Kirsten smirks, "We'll see… I've always wanted to face your brother, in battle. But then there are other martial artists that can fight in a violent action."

"Yeah. That kind of discipline runs in the family," Michelle smiled, as she blushed.

The helicopter headed off, heading back to AAW. While the robot girls in Targus City cheered on, pleading and crying for Peter, in which they were crying at Michelle, out of mistaken identity.

Michelle huffed, at the 4th wall, "Next fan fic, I get a boob job!"

Steven and Heather were in the locker room, getting their clothes on. Steven was concerned, "Well, Steven Cooke is concerned. How can former employees turn into Sailor Scouts and threaten a cosmetics company?"

Heather said, "Heather doesn't know. Still, I'd be really upset, knowing where this mission is going. Besides, it'll be great to learn of this Crystal Park. And maybe, you can find a girl for-. Oh, right. Sorry."

"No, no. It's fine. I told you, I've forgotten about that robot home-wrecker. But if Steven Cooke is interested on a date, forget it. I'm not dating, for a long time. But, I'll meet newer fans, along the way."

"I'm glad you're over it. But does Asahi know about her?"

"No, and I'll be damned if you didn't tell her! It'll be very bad for me, since she may gossip about it! She'll turn evil and she'll consider me a loser!"

Asahi remarked, in his fantasies, "You dated a robot, which was an evil escapee?! You're such a loser, Steven Cooke!"

He shuddered, "I'll never hear the end of it… if it goes down towards her ears."

She smiled, "She won't be like that. Asahi's not that evil."

"Yeah, right."

"No, I mean, suppose she'd be hurt and shocked, since she has no evil bone."

Asahi remarked, in her fantasies, "OH! How terrible! That robot girl was the one who broke your heart? I'm so sorry… You should've told me. Now I'm glad I came to you to cheer you up."

She shuddered, as she said, "On second thought, mum's the word on Yakumo "The Backstabbing Gynoid" Tsukamoto."

She slammed her locker and shouted, "AND… If I ever see that phony fembot again-!"

Steven halted her and said, "WHOA! Hold up! It's fine that you're doing this, and trying to make me better, but what's done is done. Yakumo is to fuse with AM-Net. But she's already scrap iron. She'll end up walking the long and winding roads, with no help, no food, and no transportation. Her battery power may be infinite, but her servos and gears aren't. She'll die down and break, even rust, within months… and soon… the vultures will gnaw on her cyborg corpse (Since she's partially human)."

Heather gagged, "Eww-w-w-w-w-w…"

She said, "Well, let's hope you and Percival get along in your mission. Strange, though. I never knew you'd hang with the man you hated."

He said, "You'll know, eventually. But your step-brother is a stupid loser. He gives, gives, and gives, and he is leader of The Gang! One day, I'm going to be leader of The Gang, and shove it into his John Lennon-style face! All in all, I'll say that he's a big stupid jerk."

She said, "Uh… That's it?"

He remarked, "Once I speak to him, about himself, it's going to be from my heart, and NOT by some excuse about his looks, and my looks."

He got dressed, as he concluded, "Just be careful with Farra. God knows that she's precious to him… but Steven Cooke felt her pain… When we talked about Yakumo, I remember when she was crying for me, when I was out cold. It's like… Farra Stevens cares for me… despite our rocky friendship."

Heather nodded and said, "I know what you mean. I'm surprised that you we're still out, and you remembered how she was holding you, when you were unconscious."

He left, as Heather smiled, "Steven… Maybe Percival will help you. He's not a bad man, after all, but I am the older step-sibling."

She put on her shirt and said, "But… One day, I will know the truth of why Percival creases Steven."

She left to get ready.

Outside the gate, Michelle arrived, as everyone was on a huge cargo plane, heading to Crystal Park. She signaled to the others, as Mizuki held the door for her. She jumped inside, as she went by The Gang.

"Hey, long time, no see," she smiled.

Percival said, "Good to see you again."

Asahi blushed, "Oh… He's… He's cute…"

Percival introduced Michelle, "Asahi, this is Michelle Nevins, she's an original member of The Gang."

Asahi thought, "OH! She… I thought…"

She bowed, as she was nervous, "Uh… Hello. I am Asahi Sakurai."

Michelle smiled, "Don't be nervous, little bit. Nice to see you, in person."

Asahi gasped, "She's British. I forgot how Gang members are…"

Heather said, "Michelle is one of the original members, alongside her brother, Steven, Percival, and myself. She's helping us out, on occasions."

Asahi smiled, "Oh, right. It's nice to meet you."

Michelle said, as she saw Asahi, in confusion, "Uh, you okay?"

Asahi held her nose tight, as Michelle scoffed, "I get it. My tomboyish looks too alluring for you? Most people make the error about me."

Asahi said, "I can imagine…"

Percival said, "You came in a good time. I'll explain the mission briefing, as soon as everyone is ready. Where are the others?"

Mizuki said, "Peter, Steven, Farra, and Heather have yet to arrive. We need you in a mission to Crystal Park."

Michelle smiled, "As long as it's a mission. Anything to help you birds… But I do need to get out, more often, since our Daten City visit."

Asahi said, "I heard. How's your wound?"

"Oh, rather nigh. It's healing okay. But they said that it make take weeks before the skin can regain color. For now, I'll cover up my chest, in case I feel like I am in closure."

Percival said, as he saw Peter with Farra, "Okay. Everyone's almost ready. Michelle, for this mission, you'll have to side with Asahi."

Michelle gasped, "ME? With HER?"

She laughed, "Sure. I've always wanted to show this girl the ropes."

Percival thought, "And if you're lucky, Sailor Mars won't show you the closest BBQ in town, when you get singed. I knew I should've called Steven or Steffi…"

Michelle said, "More importantly, when we get there to Crystal Park, I need to make a phone call. I think my brother needs to show up."

Peter said, "Cool. We'll need all the help, if he's not busy."

Kanaka called, "Okay! Lift off!"

The plane began to fly, as it zoomed off into the clear dusky sky. Usagi, up on the roof, watched on, seeing the plane fly away. She then smirked, as she whispered, "Super S Industries is counting on you… because you'll need luck."
