A woman was in a black background, as she bowed to the 4th wall.
"Hello. Steffi Matheson, here. Today, I'm here to tell you that the next chapter may feature some stuff that is uncomfortable for many readers, including the women, since Michelle and Asahi will be ready for battling Sailor Mars. Please, do not worry, and please don't report it.
But first, here's a recap of the last chapter…"
In the last chapter, Mizuki and Peter went to battle against the gun-slinging Sailor Venus, aka Venus the Kid. A plan by Peter made the Sailor Senshi blow up, literally, as they have succeeded in destroying her, by exploding her, inside a chicken coop, luring her away from the Big Guy.
But it gets worse… Sailor Venus was another decoy! And in its remaining battery power, it attacked and fired at the loving couple. Sheriff Mizuki and Deputy Peter were trapped in Artemis Hill, cornered by the sudden anger and hate for the robot Sailor Venus. To make matters worse than before, Peter and Mizuki broke up, after a quarrel, during a gun fighting showdown. That led them to being finished off by the Senshi, but Peter let it out, saying that he's through with this ridiculous fear of being salaamed, especially the ones that threaten to kill him. And with help from Mizuki, and his brand-new finisher, the Justice Megaton Diesel, Sailor Venus gets a one-way ride to the scrap yard. And Peter & Mizuki, our lovey-dovey duo, ride off into the sunset.
Three Senshis down, one to go! All that's left is Sailor Mars!
Chapter 40
Sailor Senshi Attack (Part 8)
Double Trouble
Michelle, in Asahi's attire, viewed the black device, as she saw two dots on the screen.
"Blimey. Look at that!"
She and Asahi, in Michelle's clothes, arrived at a huge city, which is in the Industrial Area of Crystal Park. They were unaware of the others' success at defeating the other Sailor Guardians. But they had to focus.
Asahi asked, "So… You think, maybe, there are two Sailor Mars?"
Michelle said, "I don't know. Besides, like hell that they would mass-produce. Would you ever see Card Master Peach become a sodding android?"
"No. And I don't want that."
Michelle put on Asahi's glasses and said, "Okay. Remember, you play me, and I play you. Do NOT break our cover or say that you're AAW. This is the perfect disguise, you know."
Asahi blushed, "Well, I feel like I am some sort of bad girl, since your clothes smell like piss and vinegar."
Michelle remarked, "That's just the ale I drink, during my time off."
Asahi sniffed, and then gagged, "EW!"
Michelle whispered, "Okay. And also, try to act like me. I'll make sure to ease my tone and become you. Just remember that. Besides, I think the musk of your perfume and charisma is getting into me."
Asahi replied, "Right. But, after this mission, remind me to remind you to wash your jacket."
She barked, "NEVER!"
She then said, "But if it's a request from Asahi Sakurai, I think I will. But I never knew what washes leather."
"I think I can. We survive, I'll show you."
Asahi and Michelle walked together, as they found a huge building, which was the signal point of the two dots. Michelle looked at her device and gasped, "BOLLOCKS!"
She saw that there are now three dots.
"This makes no sense!" She cried, "Three dots?"
Asahi barked, impersonating Michelle, down to her British accent, "Aw, dry up, ya sodding wanker! We can beat this, if we try! For what it's worth, we're going to nip this thing in the arse."
Michelle yelled, impersonating Asahi, "I do not sound like that! You're being ridiculous!"
Asahi said, "Let's go."
She stormed off, as Michelle thought, in her normal voice, "Uh, oh. Is it me, or the little bit is acting as me, very well… or could it be I am feeling her personality inside me?"
She sighed, as she was upset, "This is really bad. Wait up, Asahi!"
Asahi called to Michelle, "Step it up, Asahi! You're going too damn slow!"
Michelle thought, "Oops. I forgot. I'm her, and she's me. Also, what a mouth she's got. The kid's a natural."
Asahi went to the receptionist desk and asked, "We'd like to see Miss Rei Hino!"
The receptionist, with black hair, done in a bun, in a red suit and blouse, said, "Indeed. Everybody gets to see her. What's your name?"
Asahi responded, "You don't know me? I'm Michelle Bloody Nevins! And I can't beat her arse, any day, if she weren't Sailor Mars!"
The receptionist said, "Ma'am, please calm down, or I shall have security escort you out."
Asahi rolled her eyes and said, "Sorry. I didn't mean to be a jerk. I figured that it was banging to see Miss Hino. I hear that she bears a smashing resemblance to Sailor Mars. You believe me, wot?"
Michelle giggled, as she blushed, "Pay no attention to her, Ma'am. She has heard a lot of rumors from her bar in England."
The lady asked, "And you are?"
Michelle said in a shy voice, "Asahi…"
She said, "I'm Asahi Sakurai."
The lady said, "OH! THE Asahi Sakurai? Funny, I thought your hair was black, just like your friend here."
Michelle giggled, "Well… It's a wig. But don't tell anyone. I wanted to learn this disguise, for my next PV (Promotional Video)."
Asahi sighed, "Bloody idiot…"
She thought, in her normal tone, "I don't wear wigs… But good play there, Michelle."
She asked, "May we see her, woman?"
She beeped on the intercom and said, "You may. She is on the 7th floor."
Asahi smiled, "Oh. You're welcome. You have been… so kind…"
She sarcastically added, "Yet you somehow hate my guts, huh?"
She walked to the elevator, as Michelle bowed, "Sorry. She's not like that, Ma'am."
She followed her, as the elevator closed. The receptionist was on the phone, as she called, "Miss Hino… Intruders. That was Miss Michelle Nevins of the Feral Beauty. We have her records, as par your request. And her clothes match her."
Rei called, "Very good, Rei #3. You're fired!"
Rei #3 asked, "Why?"
Rei said, "Because with her and the Pop Idol in here, I'll need you for something else. So, turn in your high heels and report to repair bay #4, on the second floor."
Rei #3 nodded, "Understood, Master Mars."
She sat up, as she went to another elevator. Another Rei Clone sat down, as she was by the desk.
I guess we NOW know why there are decoys.
In the elevator, Asahi asked Michelle, as she was blushing, "Miss Nevins… about my attitude…"
Michelle sighed, "No. Just don't. You did well. I just… I just lost what I was, just now."
She blushed, as Asahi giggled, "Miss Nevins, it was jolly good acting, eh wot?"
Michelle gasped, "Asahi! What did you say?"
"Jesus, Miss Nevins, don't get your knickers riled up. I was only playing you, and not some disguised commoner. When we get home, you need a touch-up on your rack and abs."
Michelle thought, as she was petrified, "Oh, no! It's worse than I thought! She's not just acting like me! She's becoming me!"
Asahi thought, as she was trembling, "Oh, shoot… Why did I sound so badass, all of a sudden?"
They both cried, in thoughts, "We have to finish this, before it's too late!"
DING!
They arrived at the seventh floor. Michelle marched out, as Asahi shoved her.
"Get going! Rei Hino's office is right around the corner." Asahi nagged.
Michelle scanned the area, with the black device, and replied, "WHOA! Look at this, Miss Nevins! It's a mother lode!"
The device showed numerous dots. Michelle shivered, "It's so… Scary… Which is the REAL Sailor Mars?"
Asahi said, "Only one way to find out. Asahi, you stay by me. I'm going to find out… by going to Rei Hino's office."
They walked down a huge hallway, as Michelle thought, "Whoa, that's a lot of scary stuff."
There were portraits of Rei Hino, dressed in many types of attire, including her shrine goddess attire, her idol attire, and her school uniform. But none were of Sailor Mars.
Michelle said, "She's really keeping her identity as Mars a secret, right, Michelle?"
Asahi said, "You better believe it. Man, this is too long."
She moaned, "My bleeding feet are killing me."
Michelle dropped down and felt the floor. It was warm.
"Warmness?" Michelle thought.
She said to Asahi, "Michelle. Get this. This floor is hot."
"Yeah, so?" Asahi snorted.
"So… Sailor Mars' element is fire. And she's using it to keep herself stable, like the surface of the Planet Mars."
"That's a load of bollocks, if you ask me, Asahi."
"Yeah, but… You think maybe she is having herself warm in her element?"
Asahi thought and said, "Bloody hell! This entire area is hot like an armory!"
Michelle nodded, "Exactly!"
She then said, "I think we found our niche… in Rei Hino's world… The Industrial Area's armory!"
They found the door, which says "Rei Hino – Stealth CEO of Crystal Park".
"CEO?" Asahi gasped.
Michelle snuffed, "What'd you expect?"
They knocked on the door, as a voice called out, "Come in!"
They stepped inside, as the room was a huge office, with a glass window, showing a factory. Asahi gasped, "Un-bloody-believable!"
The factory, outside, shows an assembly line of the Sailor Senshi clones, each with its own uniform.
"It's a factory of animatronic Sailor Scouts!" Asahi gasped.
Michelle cringed, "And they're hideous."
A voice said, "Not really. They're just being used for Crystal Park."
A woman appeared, wearing a white lab coat and long black hair. Asahi smirked, "Rei Hino, I presume."
Rei smiled, "Likewise… Michelle Nevins…"
Michelle shivered, as Asahi smiled, "At last, we meet. You are such a young child, rather nigh."
Rei said, "I've heard of you, Michelle Nevins of The Gang."
Michelle added, "Former member. She left, long ago."
She thought, "I left, under my own terms, ya black haired wanker. (Not you, Asahi)."
Asahi asked, "Tell me, why are the floors so bloody hot?"
Rei said, "That will be explained, later. But first, how about you and I have a walk, to see what we do."
She summoned, "Right this way."
They followed Rei, as Rei thought, "Hmm… She looked like Agent Nevins… but her hair is black as the night, and smooth and long. The other girl, Asahi, is too cute. She does resemble The Idol, Asahi Sakurai. But something about these two kind of chase me off."
They entered a small catwalk, as she showed the girls how they created the Senshi Clones.
She explained, "You see, Crystal Park is home for the great Sailor Moon and the Sailor Guardians. There is only ONE Sailor Moon, while her Sailor Guardians are replaceable. You see, rumor has it that her friends all died, during a battle in the Negaverse. Sailor Moon survived, but her friends… passed away…"
Michelle said in sadness, "That's awful…"
Asahi said, "So, why the robots?"
Rei explained, "We used the state-of-the-art technology to create android duplicates of our Crystal Park mascots, in order to please the crowd, and to remember the memory of Sailors Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Jupiter."
Liar…
She continued, "Of course, some of our Sailor Guardians have trouble functioning, so we had to scrap them. We learn from our mistake, just like Maidens for Hire. However, the process proves to be tedious and long. We never manage to make them indestructible, but they're speech patterns and personalities are similar to the real Guardians. We even make them, to be built to look like me… and some of my friends."
Asahi said, "Well, I have a question… There are rumors that young birds named Minamo, Makoto, Ami, and yourself have worked for a woman named Usagi Tsukino. And then, the Senshis attacked you, so you were sacked."
Rei said, "It's true. Except, it was the robots that attacked Usagi-chan. To be honest, I don't care. She had no right to fire us. So, we left Super S Industries, and worked out in a newer job. I, myself, decided to set it straight, after such nonsense. Of course, they have the same powers, likewise the real Guardians. We were damn lucky that they'd show up! It was a side project I worked on, in case I, uh, Sailor Mars ever died. I made four duplicates of each Guardian. And soon, there will be 15, 30, or thousands of the girls, as long as they are durable. Do you know how long it takes to build Sailor Robots, by the gross? Fifteen hours. And its Industrial Area, including the factories here, it makes about twice the work."
Michelle asked, "But wouldn't it be your robots that did the job?"
Asahi said, "Look, I know we would believe you, but we don't. Anybody knows it could've been you, but you wouldn't be Sailor Mars, if your bleeding little heart depends upon it."
Rei replied, "My robots are not sentient!"
Asahi shouted, "Sentient? It's custom-made, as long as they're bodies are well-built! Sentient, indeed."
Rei replied, "No beating around the woods. You should see how they are made, as long as they are built, in many productive processes."
Asahi asked, "Are you the dove that built them?"
"Yes."
"And you were fired, after you built them?"
"Yes. And I was trying to help, since Usagi-chan is my friend, even if she is a crybaby."
"Well, you're damn lucky to become a great robot builder, since you once worked as a shrine guardian. You can be so chipper and young to create androids, however I am not stupid. One of your friends, Ami Mizuno, is a genius. And you, you're more of a ninja artisan, as long as you protect your lands."
Rei huffed, "Yes, I know. But it's fair that we build them to please visitors. Lately, three of our robots were destroyed, in a mass-explosion."
Asahi thought, "No… The Gang… They…"
She roared, "Bastards! Were there casualties?"
Rei responded, "A little. Luckily, someone named Kinnikuman was almost shocked by Sailor Jupiter's Supreme Thunder. He'll live."
Michelle said, "Uh… This seems very cold here… I think we should leave."
Rei asked, as she panicked, "Why bother leaving? I was thinking you'd stay and test our robots."
Asahi smirked, "I suppose so… I was thinking of sparring with a small and daft Sailor Mars."
Michelle smiled, "How about a Durability Test?"
Rei nodded, "Agreed."
She asked, "Would you like to go to our test room and fight these? I suppose I can bring in five to ten girls in you."
Asahi barked, "Why don't you do something to help somebody?"
Rei then showed them the door and said, "You come this way, and you'll understand why we would protect this land. Usagi-Chan owns this place, including the factories, attractions, and areas. I don't want any trouble from you two. I'll be there, shortly."
Asahi and Michelle entered the room, as Rei locked the door tight. She then thought, "Michelle Nevins… At last… You are mine… But I have to know the truth."
She went to her office, as the girls were in a white testing room.
Michelle said, "Amazing. It's like one of those sterile white fighting simulation rooms."
Asahi said, "Well, I look forward to fighting these bloody things."
She then asked, "One question… Why is she called Stealth CEO? She's not a ninja, is she?"
A white door opens, as Sailor Mars appeared. She then beeped in a computerized voice, "I am Sailor Mars! Champion of Justice!"
Michelle thought, "So lifelike…"
Asahi thought, "Amazing…"
The Robot Mars has black hair, fair skin, and a red skirt with purple bow, in a white leotard, and wearing red heel shoes. She did a pose, as Asahi prepared to fight, "Okay, lovely dove. Let's go! Have at thee!"
Michelle thought, "Asahi, You bloody fool!"
Another Robot Mars appeared and beeped, "I am Sailor Mars! You shall fall to me!"
Michelle asked, "Asahi, how the devil are we going to fight, in an even match?"
Asahi cringed, "I don't know… It's just two Sailor Marses."
Michelle gasped, "Make it three…"
Another Sailor Mars appeared, as she beeped, "In the name of Mars, I will punish you!"
They were surrounded, as Michelle gulped, "Oh, hell…"
Meanwhile, in a small courtyard, Percival and Steven returned, in their normal clothes. He was contacting the others, but no go.
"Shit! Where are they? I swore I gave them the message!" Percival said.
Steven C replied, "Probably busy with the other girls that we're after."
Percival said, "What I don't understand is that there was a Sailor Mercury Robot in the Sakura City. It makes no sense. And there was another person in the midst of all this… It couldn't be Usagi."
Steven C smiled, "Steven Cooke thinks it's someone else. If there's one thing I don't like, it's being scammed. I have my reputation to uphold! And I know that Usagi was nice. But something about Sailor Moon seemed… odd."
He stated, "Steven Cooke believes that this Usagi Tsukino is NOT what she appears to be. Maybe…"
Percival asked, "What? Who?"
Steven C was about to say something, until…
ZING! SMACK!
A red rose was swiftly planted on the concrete, as Steven C gulped. Percival gasped, "A flower?"
Steven C said, "It's got to be a Marquee du Queensbury Rules! Or, someone wants to manually plant posies!"
A voice called, "It's NO posies!"
A figure with a black top hat, tuxedo, and cape, with a white mask was on top of a small building.
Percival growled, "I suppose it was you, right?"
The man said, "Yes, I have."
Steven smiled, "Nice shot, Tuxedo Jones."
Percival growled, "Onigiri! How dare you interfere in our mission?"
"Onigiri? I am not the lady, drenched in blood, and psychotic than every other woman. I am Tuxedo Kamen."
Steven asked, "Tuxedo Mask?! The very same Tuxedo Mask that helped the Sailor Guardians? I have bad news for you, Tuxedo Mask."
Tuxedo Mask said, "Please. Listen to me, first. The Sailor Guardians you see are not what they appeared. They are rouge girls, because they were corrupted by greed and power, only to eliminate your very lives. Young pretty girls like them are fragile, but looks can be deceiving. This is all I am saying to you."
He dashed away, "Farewell for now!"
Steven C asked, "Who the-?"
"Hell was that?" Farra asked.
She and Heather returned, as Farra was in a new cast. Percival gasped, "What happened to you? Darling, are you okay?"
Farra said, "Never mind that. Who was that douche?"
Heather blushed, "On the plus side, he was too cute."
Steven C said, "A being called Tuxedo Mask. He said that the Sailor Guardians are not what they appeared to be."
Heather nodded, "I know. We ran into Sailor Jupiter and destroyed her."
Percival asked, "Was she a robot?"
Heather gasped, "How did you know?"
Steven C retorted, "Steven Cooke ran into the Rogue Sailor Mercury, and Percival destroyed her, revealing that she was a decoy."
Farra asked, "Decoy?"
Heather said, "I know, too. I tracked down an extra dot, and I met a person, similar to Jupiter. And she sounded like her."
Percival gasped, "Another Sailor Jupiter?!"
He then remembered the second dot he saw, after Sailor Mercury was destroyed. He then said, "You don't think…"
Heather asked, "What did she say to you?"
Farra replied, "The robot said that she has failed a girl, with a name that begins with "U"."
Heather continued, "And that girl knew my name, escaped from a boat, and said that she had better things to do. There's no doubt that we were set up!"
Percival held up a black device and said, "I see."
It showed a couple of faint signals, in the Industrial Area. He gasped, "There are five signals! Six… Seven… Eight… Nine… T-Ten Sailor Guardians Rogues!"
Farra asked, "Where is it from?"
Percival cried, "The Industrial Area! That's where Michelle and Asahi are!"
He asked, "Any news on Peter & Mizuki?"
Heather shook her head and said, "Sorry. Heather never ran into them, yet."
Percival said, "Supposed they were ousted, too."
Steven C replied, "I doubt it. Knowing Big Guy, he'd save the day."
Farra said, "Quite the deduction, Sherlock."
Steven C called, "Right! Gang, let's go! We have to get to the Industrial Area and rescue Michelle and Asahi!"
Percival said, "Too risky. We should find another area… and hope we find Usagi Tsukino. She'll tell us what's going on."
Heather nodded, "Good idea."
They paused, as Steven C asked, "Uh… Where does she live in?"
They all fell in a THUD, as Percival moaned, "Damn it! This is nuts!"
Meanwhile, in Rei's office, she compared a picture of Michelle Nevins to Asahi Sakurai, dressed as Michelle. She growled, knowing that it was a mistake.
"That idiot fembot! Remind me to dismantle her, for her act of stupidity, like Usagi! Of course, the other girl looked like her."
She then examined Asahi's face, "Hmm… Somehow this seems farfetched."
She prayed, as she whispered in tongues. She then spoke, "Show me who the Michelle Imposter is!"
The screen shows a comparison of Asahi's face on her promo CD. She gasped, "NO! That's Asahi Sakurai?! But why is she dressed as Michelle Nevins, down to her braid?"
She then saw Asahi beat up and destroy the robots, kicking and punching them down. She smashed one in the face with her fist. She decapitated another one, breaking her chest into pieces and snapped her waist in half. She destroyed the third one, with an elbow stamp. The robots were reduced to pieces.
Asahi laughed, "London calling! You birds have no chance, eh wot!"
Rei sneered, "Michelle speaks in a British accent… But I don't know… She did test my robots, all right."
She spoke to the PA, "Computer! Run a scan on the girl in the jacket!"
The face scan is shown, as it showed a DNA match.
"DNA Match confirmed… Identity – Asahi Sakurai – Age: 29; Occupation: Singer; Faction: Unknown…"
Rei gasped, "Her? But… then who is…"
She responded, "Computer! Run a check on the other girl."
The scan shows another DNA match.
"DNA Match confirmed… Identity – Michelle Nevins – Age: 34; Occupation: Classified; Faction: Classified…"
Rei growled, "So… The old switcheroo. They switched their clothes, in order to trick me… Nice job, but it works only for Usagi-chan. When I see her, she's getting an earful of this, out of my lectures."
She pressed a red button and spoke in the microphone, "Attention! All Sailor Mars Robots in the factory! Please report to the training room, at once!"
She then hissed, "Kill them… I want Michelle Nevins and Asahi Sakurai… DEAD!"
She laughed evilly, as the Robot Marses were marching in unison. Rei pulled out a pen and said, "Now… Disable safeties and use your Mars Fire Soul attack, my beauties!"
The Robots responded, "Yes, Master!"
Rei laughed, "Finally! Revenge is mine!"
XXXXX
At the training room, Asahi was out of breath, as Michelle was annoyed.
"You should've saved me some," she said.
Asahi huffed, "Bugger off, woman!"
A door opened, as another Sailor Mars approached them. She stood in place and roared, "I am Sailor Mars! Champion of Justice! I will destroy you!"
Asahi laughed, "I love a challenge. BRING IT, DUCKY!"
The Robot Mars stood in place and clapped her hands together, pointing her index fingers out.
"Mars Fire…"
Her fingers produced a flame. She fired a huge stream of fire.
"SOUL!"
Michelle tackled Asahi down, "GET DOWN!"
The fire missed, as Asahi cried, "What the bloody devil did you do that for?"
Michelle said, "It's a trap!"
"Huh?"
The Robot says, "Affirmative. Rei Hino wants to test us, by killing you, Michelle Nevins."
Five more Mars Robots appeared on the left, while five more appeared on the right. They all chanted, "Kill Michelle Nevins! Kill Michelle Nevins! Kill Michelle Nevins!"
Michelle thought, as she was terrified, "Me? What would they want from me?"
Asahi stood up and roared, "You want a piece of me, you bloody little sod-hoppers? Then, let's have at it!"
The Mars Robot said, "You cannot stop us… Asahi Sakurai…"
Asahi gasped, as she was reverted to normal, "But how? How did you know my name?"
Michelle thought, "Shit! She knew! She knew of us, in this get-up!"
Asahi roared, "I'm Michelle Nevins! Where do you get off saying I am not her?"
Rei spoke from the PA and said, "Where do you get off posing as her, Asahi?"
Michelle growled, "Hino!"
Rei said, as she was on the TV screen, above the door, "Greetings, Michelle Nevins… You and your friend will enjoy the fire… because you'll be burned by Rei Hino and her amazing Sailor Robots!"
She cackled evilly, as Asahi snarled, "I knew it! Why? Why would she have known?"
Rei continued, "Seriously, what kind of losers would be stupid enough to make me fall for the Old Switcheroo? It may work for Usagi, but not by you two clowns. Plus, the same old lady had pale white skin!"
Michelle gasped, "Huh? You mean… You guessed?"
She roared, "AND WHAT THE BLOODY DEVIL YOU MEAN "OLD"?!"
Asahi sighed, "Figures… I guess she was too crafty to see through our veils."
She removed her jacket, pants, and shirt and said, "But you had us known, after we had a disguise!"
She was in her bra and panties, as Michelle blushed, "Oh… How superhot…"
Asahi said, as she held up her Peach Wand, "Shame, really. I was enjoying the part of the surly British chick, but I guess I was wrong!"
Michelle roared, "Damn it, woman! Put your clothes back on! You're nude!"
Rei shouted, "YOU HEARD HER! I can't let you do that!"
Asahi said, "I know… Besides, I cannot have your clothes ruin my transformation."
Rei asked, "Transformation?"
Asahi did her Card Master Peach chant:
"Ramen, tanmen, tantanmen! Reimen, nyumen, hiyasomen!"
Michelle gasped, "What the deuce?"
She started to glow white, as she turn into her pink magical girl attire. Her pink skirt and hat flowed, as she was wearing her Card Master Peach cosplay.
"Hemo-Hemo!" A yellow cat flew onto Asahi's right shoulder.
Asahi saluted, "Card Master Peach! Accept NO substitutions!"
Rei gasped, "NO WAY! A transformation spell?"
Michelle was in shocked, as she was blushing in a beet red face.
"I… I… I… Uh…"
She fainted and smoked profusely. The Robots stood in place, as Asahi was prepared to strike.
"Strike up some tea! Because Card Master Peach is ready to serve!" She announced.
She held her wand up and said, "And you, Rei Hino, will never forget the name of Card Master Peach!"
She charged at the robots, as Rei Hino was shocked, "Uh… Uh…"
She calmed down and yelled, "DON'T JUST STAND THERE! DESTROY HER! FORGET MICHELLE! KILL HER FIRST! KILL THAT BITCH!"
The robot armada, about 15 of them, charged at Asahi. Asahi swung her staff rapidly, as she called, "PEACH SMASH!"
SMASH! SMASH! SMASH! SMASH!
The Robots were stood in place, as Asahi winked with a giggle.
CRUMBLE!
All the robots of Sailor Mars broke down, falling apart from their joints. Rei gasped, "AAH!"
Asahi yelled, "Have any more? Because Card Master Peach isn't giving in to evil women like you!"
Rei Hino appeared in the training room, as the monitor goes off. She clapped slowly and said, "Impressive, Card Master Peach. But it'll take more than brute force to beat the Rogue Guardians."
Asahi asked, "One thing… I want to know. What do you have against Miss Nevins? She meant you no harm!"
Rei growled, "Harm? You want to know what kind of harm a British Woman like her did to me, do you?"
She said, "Well, you won't like it… Michelle once tried to take my grandfather's shrine, as her own private place to rest. I told her that it's for praying, not for hanging around! What's worse was that she had a six-pack of beer. Drinking alcohol? How rude and irrespective! She had no right."
Asahi gasped, "How awful!"
Rei said, "Yes. And that's why Michelle must pay! There was more to the story, but you wouldn't like it."
Asahi said, "What happened? I was used to being Miss Nevins, all angry and surly, but I guess I want to know what happened next."
"You really want to know?"
"Yes. Tell me! Maybe I can sort this out!"
Rei then explained what happened at the shrine. She said that Michelle was hanging around, drinking beer, relaxing by the shrine. She was resting, as Rei approached her.
"Excuse me, Ma'am?" She asked her, "Would you leave, now?"
Michelle snapped, not holding her liquor, "You shut up! I can rest here, anytime I want!"
Rei grabbed her broom and shouted, "I mean it! GET OUT! If you want to get wasted and rest here, do it at a pub! You cannot litter here, and you reek of bad smelling radishes!"
Michelle grabbed her arm and shouted, "Don't talk smack to me, you sodding little snapper! I can rest, any time I want!"
Rei tried to break free, as Michelle grabbed her left arm. She was yelling incoherently, as Rei was pleading to her to stop. Enraged, she let go and shouted, "You leave me no choice!"
She pulled out a small slip of paper and shouted, "EVIL SPIRIT! BE EXORCISED!"
THWACK!
She smacked the small paper onto her face, as she fell down, out cold. She moaned, "Ouch… Someone get the number of that truck."
Rei bowed and said, "I'm so sorry… But you see, I had to use force, since you're drinking in a sacred place."
Michelle got up and glared at her, still inebriated. She was about to say something, but her cheeks swelled up a bit. Rei gasped, "Uh… Why are you puffing up?"
Michelle turned blue on her forehead and green on the rest of her face. And in a flash, she puked on Rei. She then collapsed, as she was grumbling, "Wanker…"
Rei growled, as she swatted her broom on her head. She yelled, "YOU DISGUSTING CREATURE!"
Asahi was in shock, "Miss Nevins puked on her?"
Rei said, "And I had the police escort her away. She ended up with a fine. I wanted her in jail, for trespassing. But the cops said that it was her first offense. Miss Nevins confessed, sobered up, that she could not hold her liquor. She has limited her drinking, but I had been remembering that day. And I swore that she'd pay, in spades."
Asahi huffed, "You… You wanted her dead… But, I'm making sure that you won't succeed. Besides, public puking is NOT offensive! … … …though, trespassing, while drinking alcohol, kind of makes it wrong…"
She stood in place, as Rei said, "Okay… But I'm warning you… I'm not like Card Master Peach… In fact, I'm using the Robot Senshis, not only for the park, but to make sure that Usagi's company shuts down… for good."
Asahi gasped, "No… You mean, the attack Super S Industries? That was you?"
Rei smirked, as she held up a gold and red pen. She then said, "Before I fight you, you should know the REAL story, behind the Super S Industries…"
Rei and Asahi stare down, as Michelle was getting up, with blood from her nose. She moaned, "Asahi… Little bit… What are you doing?"
Meanwhile, in the courtyard, Percival examined the dots. Only one dot is shown. He gasped, "This is crazy! There were a lot, and now there is one!"
Farra said, "Michelle probably bested the decoys. You don't think Sailor Mars is a decoy, too."
Percival said, "Maybe, maybe not. But we're going down to the Industrial Area and stop them, without Peter & Mizuki! Let's go!"
Heather asked, "What about Usagi?"
Percival cried, "No time! MOVE!"
The Gang left to the Industrial Area, as the clouds began to produce a dark sky. Rei and Asahi will fight in the Industrial Area of Crystal Park. Will The Gang, minus their bassist and keyboardist, get there, in time? Or is this the end of Asahi Sakurai?
Find out, in the conclusion of the Sailor Senshi Attack arc… Next week…
