The plane begins to fly over the entire world, as The Gang, with Michelle Nevins and Asahi Sakurai in the helm, was ready for a mission in Crystal Park. News has it that Sailor Moon and her Sailor Senshi has gone rogue, and threatened to ruin Super S Industries. The Senshis used to work for Usagi Tsukino, who was revealed to be Sailors Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter, respectfully. They were fired by Usagi, as they threatened to shut it down, via denigrations and conceit, thus plummeting the makeup company into the ground.
The Gang, who were banned from battling Onigiri, by order of the United Nations, had nothing to do. Until they have proof, the AAW cannot attack the demonic Tohru Honda, until Robin Mask, leader of the UN, give the UN's consent. But that didn't stop them from other missions, including this one.
Steven C called out, "How far are we to Crystal Park?"
Michelle said, "We should be arriving soon."
Heather cheered, "Here's the place! But… I am not sure if it is Crystal Park."
They all viewed the city, as it was surrounded by bright white clouds. They showed a huge city, with a tall building, with a diamond point on top. The city was surrounded by shining silver clouds, with many different areas, colored in different shades of rainbow.
Peter said, "Reminds me of that rainbow gelatin Mom and I had, long ago… with the cream and such."
Mizuki said, "Do you even know what it is?"
He said, "No. But I wish I knew. Plus, it was a small tub, like some sort of salad."
Asahi said, "This is wonderful. My first appearance in Crystal Park."
Percival said, "Okay. Here's the plan."
Steven C stated, "Now, Steven Cooke and Mr. Loser…"
"HEY!"
"Shut up. We'll be at the area, where Sailor Mercury is, located in Sakura Area, which is a school area, including spring cherry blossoms."
Mizuki remarked, "The Western Area is where a simulation of a Wild West town is shown. This is where we have a shoot-em-up showdown with Sailor V."
Peter said, "Cool! I've always wanted to fight in a cowboy hat!"
Michelle huffed, "You can't even ride a horse on piggyback…"
Farra said, "Heather and I will be in a Night City Area, locating Sailor Jupiter."
Heather cheered, "What a funny thing! Kinnikuman is fighting in Crystal Park, tonight! We may need his assistance!"
Farra smiled, "Aw, YEAUH!"
Asahi said, "That leaves me and Michelle."
Michelle stated, "Now, Sailor Mars is located directly in this city, the Industrial Area, which has many factories located."
Percival replied, "Sounds right. You girls can handle it?"
Asahi nodded, "I know…"
Yagi called, "We're coming in on the city! Everyone prepare for drop formation!"
The door burst open, as everyone was wearing parachutes. The Gang all fell out of the plane, as they headed for the sky, in a V formation. Asahi, Percival, Michelle, and Farra were heading down first, as Mizuki, Peter, Heather, and Steven were screaming for their lives.
Percival called, "ALRIGHT! ABOUT 500 FEET! WHEN I SAY NOW, PULL THE RIPCORD!"
Peter shouted, "AND WHEN WHAT NOW?"
Heather shrieked, "MOMMY!"
He held the cord and called out, "NOW!"
They all pulled the ripcord out and produced huge blue and red parachutes, with The Gang's logo in the middle. They all touched down at the entrance to Crystal Park.
Chapter 34
Sailor Senshi Attack (Part 2)
The Blossoms of Sakura City
Percival, in his black suit, said, "Okay… Everyone each, take an area and we'll be on our destination."
They held their devices, which had a built-in map. Steven C said to him, "Okay, idiot. You and I will take the Sakura Area."
He was dressed in a school uniform. He said, "We must blend in with the crowd, so we cannot spook the people of our mission."
Percival said, "I see. But I take it that we'll take a correct mode of transportation. In fact, I need a disguise, too."
Steven smirked, "You leave it to good old Steven Cooke. I know the perfect disguise for you."
He dragged him to the costume shop, located down by the boardwalk, as Farra said, "Well, as long as we get dressed up, how about it, Heather?"
Mizuki stated, "Percival's right. As long as we're hunting them down, we'll need to disguise ourselves, so they won't know."
Heather smiled, "You got it! I needed a sharp dressed suit, to fit the part!"
They all went in, as Peter and Mizuki nodded to each other, "Let's do it!"
They went in, as Asahi was confused, "Do they act this way, all the time?"
"They constantly do…" Michelle said, "They shouldn't be dressed as bloody little trick-or-treaters. So, you and I will have to stay inconspicuous."
Asahi blushed, "Miss Nevins, if that inconspicuous is what I think it means, I don't think I can take it."
Michelle removed her red bow, as she fixed her hair. She pleaded, "Hey! I need my ribbon!"
"You are the pop idol, Asahi Sakurai, right?"
"Yeah?"
"Well, it's best to not show your own face and hair. Here…"
She brushed her hair into one huge braid and said, "There. You look cute…"
She removed her jacket and took Asahi to the beauty salon. She then said, "Now, all we need is the old makeup kit. And trust me, little bit, Michelle Nevins needed a makeover, in due time."
Asahi asked, "How come? Is it because you're boyish?"
"Not really…"
"Oh… Uh… OH! Hey! Don't take off my clothes!"
"I have to! Just listen to me, okay?"
"Yeah, but…"
Percival screamed, from his changing room, "Damn it, Steven! I'm NOT wearing that!"
Steven smiled, "You're going to. Besides, you sometimes act secretive."
"Yeah, but not like this! And do you expect me to wear these?"
"Yeah. Steven Cooke is the man with the plan, if we want to capture Ami Mizuno."
"Okay, but I'm regretting it… I look ridiculous in a uniform…"
Farra snuffed, as she removed her sweater, while adjusting her cast, "Man… It won't be easy, since we'll be dressed casual… and also very well-lingual."
"True that," Heather smiled, "Besides, you leave everything to me. Kinnikuman is fighting in a Lucha Libre ring."
"Isn't the Night City Area like some sort of Mexican place?"
"Yeah. But it has most people speaking Spanish, and its most famous trademark is masks. If we find Jupiter, we'll end up with victory. Plus, think of me, getting an autograph from King Suguru Kinniku!"
"You just wanted his mask."
"I just want to touch it."
Peter, wearing his jeans, remarked in anger, "Damn it! I can't fit in these Stetson jeans!"
Mizuki, in her underwear, was changing. She replied, "You never wear jeans?"
"No. They make me look… bad. That's why I wear normal casual pants. I wear sweatpants, anywhere I go. But here, it's casual business pants. Plus, jeans rip easily…"
He stated, "I rip it, I buy it. Stupid clerks…"
Mizuki smiled, as Farra said, "Hey, did you get your costume on?"
Mizuki said, "Yeah, we did. We'll be finished, shortly."
XXXXX
And that shortly became one hour… as The Gang finished their disguises. Michelle, with her long hair down, wearing Asahi's bow and yellow dress, with glasses, stepped out first.
"Now this is feminine style," She smiled.
Asahi appeared, wearing Michelle's black jacket and jeans, with her hair in a braid, over her shoulder. She blushed, "I feel like an awful looking bad girl…"
Michelle smiled, "Now, now. You'll get me character right, when you walk the walk, and talk the talk."
Asahi then spoke in a British accent, "Uh… Hello, young ladies and gentlemen, I am Asahi Sakurai, and it's a smashing great day to be here, eh wot?"
Michelle glared, "Are you impersonating me?"
"No. I'm just being me, in your tone."
"Oh, that makes sense. Listen to this."
Michelle spoke as Asahi, "Enchanted to meet you! My name's Michelle… and I was wondering if we have a beer, together."
Asahi was shocked, "I NEVER HAVE BEER!"
Michelle said, "Good! Because we don't drink, on missions; unless you want to get a pint with me, when this mission is over."
"No, thank you. I never drink. It ruins my body."
Michelle winked, as she stuck her tongue out, "Aw, how rude."
Peter called, "DUDE! Check this out!"
Peter and Mizuki stepped out, as they were wearing cowboy attire. He was in a black hat with black jeans and a pancho on, while Mizuki was in a brown hat, with her hair down, wearing a red and white blouse and beige jeans.
Mizuki winked, "Howdy, little ladies."
Michelle huffed, "You look ridiculous."
Peter smiled, "Tsk, tsk, Asahi. No need to be that rude about us."
Asahi said, "Uh… I didn't say anything."
Heather called to the others, "AHEM! Gentlemen?"
Farra and Heather stepped out, as they were wearing suave business suits. Farra had a blue suit on, while Heather had a dark pink suit with a black necktie.
"How do we look?" Heather smiled.
Farra said, "We fit perfectly for the Night City Escapades."
Heather winked at her, "Of course, I'd totally kiss you, if you weren't dressed so…"
"Outrageously flamboyant?" Farra asked.
"Word." Heather smiled.
Steven smiled and said, "Not bad, guys. But you should see… he, he, he… how Percival is dressed."
Percival moaned, "I'm regretting this decision."
Steven C said, "Steven Cooke is enjoying this, since this is a mission."
He stepped out, wearing a school uniform. The Gang giggled a bit, as Percival was dressed in a girl's school uniform, with a white shirt, dark red ascot and skirt, and a long brown hair wig. His legs were covered in white stockings. They started to giggle more.
Percival said, "What? This was Steven's idea. The douche is sick!"
Farra blushed, as she held her laughs, "Darling… Darling, you look so… Uh, so…"
Heather asked, "Cute?"
Peter tittered, "Ridiculous?"
Mizuki snickered, "I never knew you had a good build, in a woman's attire. Nice… PFFT! …cosplay."
Everyone, except Asahi, laughed at him.
He roared, "SHUT UP! THIS IS THE BEST HE COULD DO!"
They continued laughing, as he glared at Steven C, "I'm sooo gonna get you for this, assface."
He sighed, "But it is for the sake of the mission. Once we leave Sakura City, I'm out of these clothes."
Mizuki snapped a picture, as she laughed, "Oh, that's going in the album on Facebook."
Percival shouted, "YOU WOULDN'T DARE!"
She said, "I'm kidding. We'll say that it's like a Halloween costume."
Asahi said, "But it's August."
She shushed her and said, "Quiet. He doesn't know that. I'm actually posting it on my blog."
Percival said, "Alright, enough laughing at me, out of my expense. We have a mission to obtain. Peter, Mizuki, find the closest stagecoach in the city, while Asahi… you and Michelle take the bus to the Industrial City."
He asked Asahi, "Michelle, show her the ropes, on the way. She's too new."
Asahi blushed, "I'm Asahi."
He looked at Michelle, who was dressed as Asahi, and replied, "Uh… What happened?"
Michelle smiled, "Oh… It was an experiment…"
Percival sighed, "And they say my costume was ridiculous."
Michelle said, "It is. You look like… PFFT! A young student, senpai!"
Peter and Mizuki jeered, "Senpai!"
They all laughed again, this time with Asahi laughing, as Percival groaned, "Someone… just shoot me…"
XXXXX
The Gang went their separate ways, heading to their respective areas. Peter and Mizuki hopped onto the stagecoach, heading to the Western Area, Michelle and Asahi took the train to the Industrial Area, while Farra and Heather took a taxi to the Night City. Steven and Percival had to walk, since it's pretty close.
Percival said, "Alright. You and I will take the Sakura City path, all the way to the end. Once we arrive, we'll stake out and look for Mercury. If anybody asks about us, you are Stephen Tortellini, and I am your girlfriend-slash-classmate, Peni Gabriel."
Steven said, "Should we wear nametags?"
"Focus. This is a worthy task, since we are heading to seek out Ami Mizuno. And above all, no need to take off the disguises."
"Roger. Steven Cooke is enjoying this mission. Of course, back home, I usually take a bus to school."
"But this is authentic Japanese style school walking…"
He was right. They come to the gate, where it said "Sakura City Area – Spring Every Day".
Percival said, as the gate opened, "Look at this beautiful area… Cherry Blossoms fluttering, as the weather is all spring…"
The school chime plays, as Steven said, "It's nice walking with you, on this day."
The petals from the trees kept falling, as Percival and Steven walked down the path to the main area, which is a couple of miles away.
"You know," Steven said, as he was relaxed, "This feels pretty good. I may walk in the cherry blossoms, one day."
Percival smiled, "Yeah. Me, too. How about we run there?"
Steven said, "Last one is a loser!"
They dashed off, as Percival groaned, thinking, "This place is nuts. And I am stuck here with the King of Morons… who obviously has a beef for me."
They continued to walk down the petal-covered path, as the sky turned blue.
"I still say I look ridiculous!" He barked at Steven C.
Steven remarked, "Now, now… Plenty of time, until we make it."
They stopped walking, as they saw a huge school building. Percival pondered that it could be a simulation.
"Hey, Steven," he asked, "You think this looks legit?"
A couple of students walk by, in uniforms, as they walked calmly. Steven C said, "I guess this is how students in Japan walk to school. Seems fitting to be in this world."
"Remember, we're on a mission, not for playing role-play scenarios."
"Yeah, yeah."
They stepped inside the gate, as the school chimes began to ring.
"How regal… in Japan, to say the least," Percival smiled, "The Westminster Quarters… Regal and subtle…"
Steven asked, "You mean it's not Japan's trademark?"
"Exactly. Hailed from Cambridge, in the church of St. Mary the Great…"
"Oh, T.M.I., Percy."
"Hey, I like it. It feels serene."
"You must be reading Peter's mangas, are you?"
"Oh, so what? Besides… This place is so authentic, other than that other school that closed down, due to robot attacks."
They walked in the courtyard, as the students and visitors viewed the duo. They somehow peered at Percival, who is dressed as a woman. The boys find him cute, as the girls were in awe for him.
"Well, they're not robots. That's for sure. That's Peter's depot…" Percival smirked in arrogance, "I still have the looks."
Steven shook his head and sighed, "Sometimes I don't get you… Now, focus!"
He muttered, "Pervert…"
XXXXX
A girl with long brown hair and a red school uniform was handing out fliers to the visitors. She called, "Hello~, Crystal Park Sakura City visitors! Welcome to our wonderful city! Everyone is excited for our daily fireworks show, every night on a clear starry night. We also have nice lunches and dinners for those who are famished and starving. We have authentic pastries and bread rolls from the Japan cafeteria, also. Enjoy your stay."
She kept speaking, again and again, as she was in a loop. Steven and Percival walk by to see her, as Steven whispered, "There's a girl. Maybe we can talk to her."
Percival said, "Sounds great. Maybe she may know about Ami Mizuno, a.k.a. Sailor Mercury. If she can help out, good things come to us."
Steven gasped, "Uh… Why is she in a loop? She's some sort of robot, I think."
He was right. This girl was Yuri, the robot that May befriended, a while back, and the girlfriend/creation of a big red naked fat butt guy.
Yuri said to the 4th wall, "Please… Call him Lance."
Right. Yuri's boyfriend/creator is Lance Sackless.
Percival said, in a falsetto voice, "Excuse me, Miss?"
Yuri bowed, "Hello. Welcome to our wonderful city. Everyone is excit-."
Steven said, "Uh, yeah. A moment of your time, Miss…"
"Yuri." She said.
Steven smiled, "Yuri, right. My sister and I were wondering if a girl was here, in your city."
Percival said, "We'd so want to meet her, if you know what I mean."
Yuri stared at Percival and said, "You are a girl, correct?"
Percival stuttered, "Uh, yes… But I came to visit a girl, who has a very intelligent mind."
He thought, "She's too beautiful."
Yuri asked, "Describe the description of the girl."
Steven C barked, "NO! Her name is Ami Mizuno! We're looking for her, for, uh, certain private tutoring. My sister, Penelope, and I need to cram for Finals, next week."
Percival huffed, "Sister?!"
Yuri pondered, "Ami… Ami… Ami…"
Percival said, "You know, blue hair, blue shirt, blue eyes…"
Yuri said, as she beeped, "Blue hair… Ami Mizuno. CHECK! I think I ran into her. She was a sweet girl with short blue hair and a cute uniform. In fact, she was just staying in the third floor. But lately, in this city, during nighttime, and while the stars are out, there has been a whole mess of fog in the way. The visitors think it was a mysterious being, producing fog. She started screaming out, "Shabo Spray!" and in an instant, the sky is cloudy, and our daily fireworks show was cancelled."
Percival said, "That's too bad."
Yuri said, "It's been like that for three days now. Everyone was expecting a fireworks show, every day, but not in this weather, caused by a mysterious being."
She scanned, "Are you sure you're not a man, Miss Penelope?"
Percival spoke in a normal voice, "Can you keep a secret?"
Yuri stood straight, "Indeed."
He said, "My colleague, Steven Cooke, and I are on a hunt for Sailor Mercury. She was located here, in Sakura City. We are ordered to take her down and prevent anymore plagiarism towards Super S Industries."
Steven C said, "Perhaps maybe the fog was caused by the rogue Sailor Scout."
Yuri gasped, "NO! Sailor Mercury has gone rogue?"
Percival said, "Among others. Mars, Venus, Jupiter, and Sailor Moon all have gone rogue. Maybe the Shabo Spray was the reason for the fog."
Yuri said, "I see… She'd never do anything so cruel. It's so sad. And I have been using the scarlet red blush from Super S, and I seemed okay."
Steven smiled, "You do look stunning… Maybe in your condition, we should talk, over some nice tea and cake."
Yuri blushed, "No, thank you, Steven. I already have a boyfriend."
"Huh?"
"Indeed. He's my chunky hunky monkey, with a red body and big butt that I can grasp on. I can also bounce on his belly."
"Oh, you're taken."
Percival griped, "SERIOUSLY? A fat red guy? You like him?"
Yuri said, "Not to be rude, but yes. In any case, I'll be happy to assist you, once I learn more about Miss Mizuno. She has been visiting the school building for three days, similar to those sudden fog blankets we have had."
She sobbed, "If we don't stop these fogs, then I may lose my job… And Lance will never be happy, in his huge derriere."
Steven hugged her and said, "It's okay. Steven Cooke will save the day for you. In the meantime, we'll stay in disguise, and hopefully, we'll stop Sailor Mercury."
Percival said, "Whatever you have, this evening, make sure to stay frosty and aware, since you may know of Ami. Now, tell us. Where does Ami go?"
Yuri pointed up, "She's usually up on the 3rd floor of the building. She often goes there, after 4:00, or at 4:12 or 4:21, but rarely at 11:35. She's down in the south room, in Room 3-E."
Steven said, "Room 3-E. Got it."
Percival spoke, "We'll investigate in this room, once we arrive. And also, Yuri, is it?"
Yuri bowed, "Correct."
He stated, "This is strictly confidential. Do NOT forward this to anybody… including Ami Mizuno. Got it?"
Yuri smiled and started to wave the fliers around. She spoke again, as the boys leave.
"Steven Cooke is liking this mission. She doesn't know that Ami Mizuno is Sailor Mercury."
Percival said, "God, I hope so. If she's responsible for the sudden fog showing, she'd be clear as rain. But not as clear, as we arrest her for the carnage she and her Senshis have done!"
They entered the building, as Steven C said, "You know, maybe it'll be better, if we did a Skit here, in the building."
A Skit – NEW to The Gang; to fill some time in, The Gang does a skit, in which they want to make the scene more comical and humorous. Once they call for a Skit, the sketch begins, depending on the place.
(The Skits start in the next chapter)
NOTE: Only ONE skit, per chapter.
Percival said, "Third Floor, coming up!"
They walked up the stairs, as Steven said, "Once we arrive, Ami Mizuno is in 3-E."
Percival replied, "Yes. But she arrives around or past 4:00pm. We have a whole hour. It's only 3:00."
Steven C smiled, "Right. Let's go."
They continued to walk up the stairs, as a figure was lurking behind them, in a shadowy aura. Who was it?
XXXXX
The boys arrived at the third floor, as they looked around for Room 3-E. Steven said, "Nice. It looks like we're in the real high school in Japan."
Percival said, "ALL High Schools are like that… But I think it feels like a pristine and sterile area."
"Why not? After all, the schools in Japan are just like mannerisms in Japan…"
BONK!
He hit his head, "Dude! Stop sounding like a bigot! You should know by now that ALL cultures are cool. We are for World Peace, not bashing at third-world countries! Do you want the UN to get up our asses, even further?"
"Sorry."
Steven pointed up, "Here's 3-D. So next comes…"
They saw the sign which says "3-E". Percival and Steven viewed the room.
Percival said, "Cool. We'll examine this place and search for clues. Ami Mizuno is close. Plus, wherever Ami goes, Sailor Mercury goes. And also, we capture her. NOT kill her. She's still a young girl."
Steven C stated, "Yes, but Miss Usagi and Miss Nanase said we capture them, dead or alive."
"Well, I choose to play by the rules, and not go dangerously violent, killing a creep."
"Your words."
"Shut up."
Steven C asked, "Uh, just curious… How old are these Sailor Senshis?"
Percival groaned, "Oh, just… Just come on!"
They entered the room, as they began the search for Mercury. As they went inside, a figure was watching on, from behind the corner. Who was she?
To be continued… Next week…
Sailor Moon REBOOT Countdown: 53 days.
