Last time, if you recall, The Gang was on a separate mission to Crystal Park, in order to obtain Sailor Moon and her rogue henchmen, after Usagi Tsukino was being rudely ripped on over her merchandise. They all decided, in forms of two, to obtain and arrest the Sailor Senshi Rogues. However, trouble, conflict, and shock occur.
The first was at Sakura Area, when Percival and Steven C confronted Sailor Mercury, only for Percival's NEW powers to destroy and rip apart Mercury, revealing she was a decoy for a mysterious being.
However, the second was at Night City Area, when after Kinnikuman destroyed El Suprema Tureno, Heather destroyed Sailor Jupiter with a fierce combo move, The Super Speed 88. It wouldn't be long before Heather would track down the person responsible for the Jupiter decoy… but is shocked by the voice of the young youth.
What could it mean? Why were there decoys for the city, as The Gang was helping Usagi? Could it be a trap, or could it be that the Rogue Senshis are setting the entire group up?

Find out, right now!

Peter and Mizuki were in the middle of the street, as the dust of the sandy fields of the Wild West Area blow a bit from the wind, with tumbleweeds rolling by.

Music begins, as the scene become sepia tone.

(Balladeer): Listen, everybody…
to a tale you may will see.
It's about two Gang members
named Peter and Mizuki…

One day, these two young hombres
travelled to the Wild West
to find and capture Sailor Venus
was their sacred quest

(Gunshots firing)

(Chorus): Back in the old Wild West
when people were so heinous
The heinous of them all
belonged to Sailor Venus

She's stands for justice
and stands for beauty and love…
Sailor V…
BANG!
(Balladeer): Don't get hit from above…

(Ballad ends)

Chapter 38
Sailor Senshi Attack (Part 6)
The Ballad of Sailor Venus!

That night, Peter and Mizuki were sleeping together, under the covers, with no clothes on. Mizuki smiled and said, "Wonderful night… and finally, some alone time…"

Take a guess.

Peter asked, "Say, Miz? Do you think it feels right? I mean, this is the second time we had sex, in these alternate worlds, and we feel serene."

Mizuki said, "At least, I'm not a robot. You'd cry over that sort of shit. But at least I love you, so much…"

She hugged him and kissed and licked his face, moaning in pleasure.

Trust us, folks, this is all you're getting, in an M-Rated fan fic, with NO sex scene.

Just then, Mizuki's iPhone rang, as she got up, "Would you excuse me?"

She got up, out of bed, covering her bare chest with her left arm, with her long red hair flowing. She turned on her iPhone and saw a text message from Percival.

"To Peter and Mizuki,
Be careful in the Wild West Area… The Sailor Guardian YOU'RE after could be a trap."

Mizuki groaned, "Odd. But in the middle of our Alone Time? This is serious."

Peter asked, "Is it that serious?"

She then said, in a calm tone, "It is. Sailor Venus isn't in our radar, but Usagi said that she'd be here."

She turned off her phone and went back to bed. She whispered to Peter, "Big Guy… Please do me…"

Peter said, "I think I've had enough."

She smooshed her breasts on his bare chest and said, "Maybe this'll change your mind…"

They continued to kiss, as they draped the covers over.

See what I mean?

The next morning, Peter & Mizuki, in their cowboy attire, walked down the path of the city. Mizuki took off her hat and rubbed her forehead. She said, "Man. This desert heat is killing us."

Peter said, "Yeah. I'm not used to sunny weather, with humid air. It feels like we're in Arizona."

Mizuki remarked, "No. It usually looks like Texas. Arizona doesn't have wild west towns."

Peter asked, "Really? Steven Nevins could learn from this place, but he's not here."

They continued walking, as they passed a girl with orange hair and a white winter school uniform with a blue skirt. They stopped, as they saw the motionless girl, who was kneeled down, holding a long 2x4.

Peter asked, "Who's that?"

Mizuki said, "I don't know. She must be frozen in place, from the heat."

He said, "Maybe she's dead."

"Interesting. Her skin hasn't shown signs of pale, and her body is still in rigor mortis. But…"

She felt her skin and said, "It's cold. Her body is like…"

She knocked on her arm and gasped, "Metal? Could she be a mannequin?"

He responded, "Mannequins are wooden. There's no way! Unless…"

He viewed her back and saw a small silver key, lodged in the middle of her spine. He shrieked, "WHAT IS THAT?"

Mizuki examined the key and said, "Fascinating… She's a wind-up doll. A life-size figurine… that appears hominoid."

She stated, "She, among others, could be one of the many victims, changed from the Alternate World synthesis. The worlds, caused by this phenomenon, Onigiri, have affected the DNA in each of their bodies, in which many victims, conspicuous or otherwise, could be altered and fused by their genetic cryptograph."

He asked, "Huh?"

She replied, "In other words, they're fucked up."

He said, "Oh."

He then shivered, "But is she really alive?"

She said, as she grabbed the doll's key, "We'll see. We better wake her."

She wound her up, as ticking sounds are made. The girl opened her eyes and stood up. She grabbed the 2x4 and took it to the tool shed. She kept going, placing piles of wood into the shed, one by one.

"Dude, she's like a magical worker drone!" He cried.

She said, "Incredible. It's like she's into labor… Uh, manual labor."

The girl finished, as she bowed to them. She then gasped, "OH! Who are you? I am grateful for being wound up again, but… It's nice to meet you."

She smiled, as Peter said, "Uh… Hi. And you are?"

The girl introduced herself, "I happen to be one of the girls in Jindai High. I was supposed be dating my boyfriend, but the worlds ruin me. I just wish I had a date with someone…"

Mizuki said, "You're not yourself. Tell me, what do you do?"

The girl replied, "Well, before the worlds, I was hoping to find the right boyfriend. My other hobby, not mentioned to my other friends, is that I collect dolls. I have some cute stuffed animals, including a wind-up drummer. When the worlds came to be, I was nothing but a doll, living the dream, and hoping to find the right guy who can wind my spring. But no luck… I was enrolled to Crystal Park and would work here. But when I did one task, like this here, my spring unwound, and no one came to fix me."

She held up a slip of pink paper she found in her dress, which was written by her boss.

"Great! Fired again," she snuffed, as her slip read, "We don't need automated dolls like you. Pack up your gears. P.S. – Sorry that we forgot to wind you up."

She sobbed, "It's my ex-boyfriend, all over again!"

Mizuki asked, "Wait a minute. Are you okay?"

She blew her nose and said, "Well, at least I have money, and I don't need the work ethic to rust me. In any case, I see you two cowboys are on your way to something."

Mizuki winked, "See, little lady, we're on a routine mission, looking for this girl."

She held her iPhone and showed her WANTED photo of Sailor Venus. The girl gasped, "NO! THE Sailor V? It's… It's… It's so sudden… But…"

She then said, as she blushed, "Excuse me. I have to change."

She turned around and said, "Here. Remove my key, and I'll be right back. Without my key, my life span has 30 minutes, before being wound up again."

Mizuki said, "Okay."

She removed her key, as the girl left to change. Peter thought, "This girl…"

XXXXX

Moments later, the girl was dressed in a black jacket, green blouse, and lavender pants, and she walked with the two Gang members.

Mizuki responded, "Surprised that you still walk, even for your condition… as a motor-springed girl."

The girl said, "It's none of your concern, but I kind of liked it. Besides, shut up."

Peter asked, "Hey, Mizuki?"

Both girls asked, "Yeah?"

He paused and asked, "Wait… Your name's Mizuki, too?"

Mizuki I introduced herself, "Delighted. My name's Mizuki Inaba. I did mention this, but I was in Jindai High, with my beau, Issei Tsubaki. I wonder why he hasn't called me."

Peter nervously tittered, "Eh, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh…"

Mizuki glared, "Peter… Is there something you'd like to share?"

He gulped, as the other Mizuki said, "Oh, but that's okay. He'll find me, eventually. I've been waiting for him, since the whole AU thing is going on. But I wish to kiss him, unlike Shirai. Funny story… You see, there was this girl with blue hair, whose name I can NOT mention, and she was being teased by my ex. Of course, her friend, her not-boyfriend, tried to warn him to stay away from her. In the end, he would beg to date that girl, by dumping me! It makes me sick. That's what I do. I'm so ashamed, seeing that he would be a womanizer."

Peter whispered, "Britney Spears."

Mizuki nodded, "Indeed. Nice knowledge on music."

She asked Mizuki I, "So, what happened next, Mizuki?"

Mizuki I continued, "Well, enraged that I'd get back at Shirai, I decided to play the rumor card on that little bitch. I made lies to her, but that backfired. Her not-boyfriend attacked Shirai in the Boys Bathroom! When I saw it, I rescued him! But… He dumped me! He broke up with me!"

She sobbed, as she was crying. Mizuki said, in annoyance, "Wow… That was… Incredibly stupid…"

Peter remarked, "No, I think it took guts. Sadly, I don't think he was the right one for you."

Mizuki I said, "The rest I cannot tell, since it was rather indecent… and embarrassing. I am THROUGH with boys who want me, and toss me like trash! Shirai, I HATE HIS GUTS! I hate his guts! You shove me down and step on me! Ruin my life, huh? You, too, Sousuke! You ruined me! ALL MEN (except Issei)! I HATE THEM ALL!"

Peter asked, "Uh… If this is a bad time, since you're a robot, you're not in my fan club, are you?"

Mizuki I said, "No. I have never been in your fan club. By any chance, are you Peter Giese?"

He said, "Yeah."

She replied, "You're too dumpy to be a fan of mine. But I do enjoy The Gang's music."

Mizuki said, "Hey, now. No need to be infatuated by or insult my boyfriend. Of course, we have BIGGER reasons… and BIGGER problems. Sailor Venus is here in this city, and we may need you."

Mizuki I then said, holding up a Sheriff's badge, "Then, since Issei was to come, I am naming you, Mizuki Takase, the Sheriff of Crystal Gulch."

He asked, "Crystal Gulch?"

Mizuki said, as she put on her badge, "Uh, thanks, I guess."

Mizuki I giggled, "You look sexy, Sheriff."

He said, "We should start going on patrol. Here's how it goes – You two Mizukis stay with each other. I'll keep an eye outside, and see if Sailor Venus arrives."

He said in a southern drawl to Mizuki I, "Now, look here, little lady. Sheriff Takase and I will save this city. The news is that Venus is ruining the good name of Super S Industries, a cosmetics company that is owned by Usagi Tsukino."

Mizuki I asked, "Is there anything I can do?"

Mizuki replied, "You stay by my side. If Sailor Venus is deadly, then rest assured, we'll stop her; your life is at stake."

Mizuki I bowed, "I will. Thank you."

The girls walked together, as Peter thought, holding the black device, which showed NO sign of Venus, yet again.

"Either the machine is overheating, or maybe Sailor V is not here…" he said.

XXXXX

They arrived at the saloon. Mizuki said to Peter, "Listen, we need an eye on the outside, in case we run into Sailor Venus, or her alias Minako Aino. So, henceforth, I'm making you my deputy. You keep an eye out."

Peter saluted, "Aye-aye, Sheriff Mizuki! You can count on me. But I don't want to get in, since the place has sarsaparilla."

Mizuki I asked, "You don't even know what sarsaparilla is…"

Mizuki added, "NOR do you even have sarsaparilla!"

Peter said, "Well, I can try, can't I?"

Mizuki said, as she and the doll went inside, "Just say outdoors."

Peter sat by the stoop, as the girls entered the saloon. He huffed, "If it were like Westworld, with the robot girls in here, I would be Sheriff, and not Miz… But since there's only one, and she doesn't like me, I guess it's cool."

He pulled out a broom and said, "Filthy! I know Mizuki and I are on duty, against the evil Sailor V, but… An old saying: "Catching crooks is for Sheriffs, sweeping is for Deputies". But first, I better relax a bit and wait a while."

He spoke at the black device, as it showed no sign, "You keep beeping. And don't wake me, until you find me a signal."

He relaxed by the wooden post, as he started to snooze.

Inside the saloon, Mizuki held her gun up and fired two shots up.

BANG! BANG!
Those are blank bullets, by the way.

"LISTEN UP, VARMINTS!" She yelled, as the men, in different cowboy attires, stared at the Sheriff.

One man, in a Stetson asked, "Who's the hot cowgirl?"

Mizuki ordered, "I'm looking for a polecat named Minamo Aino! I want to know if you've seen her."

A cowboy asked, wearing a white hat and a beige and black suit, "Why ask about V the Kid, sweet cakes?"

"V the Kid?" Mizuki asked, "Dare I ask who she is?"

The cowboy said, "The Kid is known to be Crystal Gulch's #1 bad woman. No one has ever bested her."

Mizuki snarled, "Smile when you say that."

She responded, as she was at the bar, "Barkeep! Two rounds of tea! One for my lady friend."

The cowboy shouted, "Gimme a foam-top beer!"

They were presented with their drinks. Mizuki and Mizuki I had green tea, while the cowboy had a huge mug of beer. Mizuki then asked, "What do you know about V the Kid, partner?"

He replied, "Oh, she's a mysterious one. She comes here, every afternoon, past High Noon. She takes down everybody that disobeys her every whim. Of course, her role with this place is the fastest gunslinger in the Gulch. Some say that she never used a gun. One point of her finger and she shouts, Crescent Beam. And then, you die. No one escapes her Crescent Beam. And no one knows who or what she is… She wears a mask, similar to Sailor V. If I were you, I'd call the undertaker."

Mizuki retorted, "Okay. How many has she used the Crescent Beam?"

He said, "Many times. The Kid has buried her victims on Artemis Hill. She has buried about 75 victims, including Sheriffs and Deputies that tried to take her on."

Mizuki said, "My deputy is outside, waiting for the right time. I'm challenging her and bringing her to justice!"

He laughed, "Don't make me laugh, sweet cakes! Why, you left your deputy alone that he's an easy target for V the Kid."

He laughed, drinking his beer, as Mizuki pointed her gun at him, "Listen, pervert! If you call me Sweet Cakes, one more time-!"

Mizuki I cried, "But Sheriff! Your boyfriend could be meeting Sailor V the Kid, whatever, right now!"

Mizuki gasped, "Peter!"

Meanwhile, a woman, with yellow hair in a red bow, wearing a red plaid blouse and white skirt, with brown boots, walked to Peter. She was also wearing a pair of red-rimmed shades.

She called, "Hey! Gringo!"

He woke up, "Well, look at you…"

He stretched out and asked, "What brings you here, bra?"

The girl said, "The name's Minamo. But my friends call me V the Kid."

Peter said, "V the Kid? Who's V the Kid?"

He then remarked, "Wait… We were looking for Sailor Venus. I was wondering if you'd help us find her. My girlfriend, Sheriff Mizuki, is looking for her, in the saloon."

Idiot…

V replied, "I'd love to. In fact, I think you are so hot, in that big girth."

Peter nervously asked, "Uh… You think so?"

She blushed, as she removed her shades. She then held him tight and kissed him on the lips.

At the saloon, Mizuki instructed to Mizuki I, "Listen, Inaba. You stay at the saloon, where it's safe. Peter & I will handle Sailor V, or V the Kid, alone. We cannot risk you hurting yourself."

Mizuki I smiled, "Oh, that'll be fine. I'll see if I can find some hot young studs that I can mosey down to the bedroom. I think I'll stay here."

She tipped her hat and said, "Okay. Adios, pardner."

She left through the saloon doors, as she saw Peter and Minamo kissing. Mizuki held her gun up and shouted, "HANDS UP, VARMINT!"

They both rose their hands up, as Peter tittered, "Mizuki, I mean, Sheriff… It's not what you think…"

Mizuki sighed, "Not you, stupid… And why is she kissing you?"

Peter said, "I… I don't know…"

He groaned, "I had no time to respond. She was… Well…"

Minamo laughed, "HAH! AH, HA, HA, HA, HA! Well, well… Sheriff Takase, I presume. Your boyfriend-slash-deputy told me about you. I love this hunk of bigness, so much."

Mizuki barked, "None of your lip, varmint! I'm taking you in, for caressing and fondling an officer of the law! You in a heap of trouble."

Peter cried, "She came on to me!"

Mizuki barked, "Quiet, Deputy! Once this thing is done, we need to talk!"

Minamo said, "Well… I see them is fighting words, huh? I came to kill you and him… but now, I have better plans. Maybe I can charm him, with my beauty. Or best yet, be still my heart, I can take him from you. But I suppose I'll have to kill you, first. But not now."

She held her hand out and said, "Perhaps maybe we can settle this… in a showdown."

She held up a gun and said, "Ten paces… We fire… First person to get hit, loses, and the winner gets your hunk of a deputy."

Mizuki barked, "You listen to me, you hoppy little jackrabbit! No one steals my boyfriend! He and I are happy together, and if YOU can't listen to reason, then you is in a heap of trouble! Comprende, polecat?"

Minamo smirked, "Fire when ready… Sheriff…"

They stared down, as they tried to reach for their guns. They continued to stare, as Peter was nervous. He called, "Hey, Miz? You can do it!"

Mizuki shushed him, as Minamo laughed, "Oh, Peter~… Let's kiss, when I win…"

"Pervert!"

"Alley-cat succubus!"

They continued to stare, as the vultures cried.

Mizuki shouted, "DRAW!"

Minamo pulled her gun out and fired, but Mizuki shot first.

BANG! BANG!
"MIZUKI!"

Mizuki staggered a bit, as she was shot in the shoulder, nicked lightly. Minamo was shot, as well, except her abdomen was pierced. She moaned, "Aw… Ya got me…"

She collapsed, as Mizuki said, "Finished."

She put her gun away, as Peter said, "Mizuki! You did it!"

Mizuki said, "By far, the easiest mission I ever had. But nonetheless… We-."

Minamo started to move a bit, as Mizuki cried, "Never mind! Let's hide!"

He cringed, "She's still alive?!"

Mizuki said, "Yes. I guess I was aiming for the heart, but I kind of hit her bellybutton. And… I forget that these are blanks."

"DAMN YOU, PARK SAFETY!" Peter yelled.

She and Peter headed off, as Minamo got up, staggered and wobbly. She then put on her shades, as she held up a gold and orange pen.

"FOOLS! No one escapes and bests V the Kid, while I am around!"

She cried out, holding her pen up.
"VENUS POWER! MAKEUP!"

She transformed into Sailor Venus, with her long hair down, with a red bow, and with a blue bow and orange skirt on her white leotard. She then said, "I am Sailor V! And in the name of Venus, and Crystal Gulch, you is a dead man, y'all!"

She spoke to the 4th wall, "Hey, at least I am acting in the atmosphere in this place."

She dashed off, as Mizuki and Peter hid behind the picket fences. She ran passed them, as the scene becomes sepia tone, while Peter & Mizuki ran off, behind her.

(Music begins)
(Balladeer): And one close call would be another
to take down an evil Scout
But Peter never had the scent
that the good lord gave a doubt

No matter what Sheriff Mizuki did
her boyfriend wouldn't know
(Chorus): Wouldn't know~!
(Balladeer): Sailor Venus looks to oust them both
from head down to the toe

(Chorus): She's stands for justice
and stands for beauty and love…
Sailor V…
(Balladeer): Don't get hit from above… by Cupid.
(Music ends)

Mizuki replied, "I think we lost her, for now."

Peter snuffed, "No, we didn't. She's everywhere."

She barked, "Peter, make up your mind! You started to feel infatuated by Sailor Venus! She loves you so much that she wants you dead!"

"Flirty…"

"No, deadly. This is THE Sailor Venus that insulted Usagi! Remember?"

"So?"

"So, even the slightest blush of romance and scandalous sinfulness lust can kill you! Venus has charm and looks, but, dude, I have big boobs! You should like me for who I am!"

She planted his face into her chest, as she whispered, "I cannot lose you… What does she got that I don't?"

Peter stepped away and said, "Dude…"

He shrieked, as Mizuki asked, "What's wrong?"

He pointed up, "Sail-, Sail-, Sail-, Sailor Venus!"

She turned around and saw Sailor Venus, up on the water tower. She called, "You two lovers are too dysfunctional to be in a mess that you are. It's never about carnal pleasures and fake boobs (FYI, I was eavesdropping)! It's about beauty from within and glamour! That's the American way… for ladies such as myself. You, Sheriff Bimbo, will not win against me! In the name of Venus, y'all are going down!"

He shivered, as Mizuki shouted, "MAKE ME!"

She held her arm up and pointed at Mizuki, as two moons glowed on her fingers.

"VENUS CRESCENT BEAM!"

She fired a beam, and it was headed towards Mizuki.

"MIZUKI!" Peter shouted.

Will she escape the blast, in time?

To be continued… Next week…
