Note: This chapter crosses over with my fanfic Arisugawa's Locket (the meetings happen in a room there) and with Sailor Venus and The Quest For Power-Ups
Magical Girl Support Group
Chapter Eight: Sailor Moons and Others
"Welcome to the Alternate Sailor Moons Support Group," Setsuna Meiou, Sailor Time-Moon, said tiredly.
"How many alternate Sailor Moons ARE there?" Ranma Saotome, Sailor Fight Moon, asked, her uniform resembling martial arts gear.
"Sailor Moon is kind of a universal constant," Lina Inverse, Sailor Explosion Moon noted, dressed in a fantasy version of the usual Sailor Moon outfit.
"And every fanfic makes a new universe," the robotic Sailor Steel Moon noted.
"Hmm," the mute Sailor (Stig-chan) Moon of Top Gear nodded.
Kara Zor-El, Sailor Super Moon, looked fairly bewildered. "I don't even know how I GOT here," she noted.
"Best not to think on it too much," Setsuna noted.
God Emperor Tsukino sighed, dressed in bulky armor. "And how did I get here from the fortieth century?" she wondered.
Setsuna looked a BIT sheepish at that.
Sailor Empire, the champion of the Germanic Empire, aka Tanya von Degurechaff added, "Space time get a bit weird around this bar."
A Sailor Moon dressed sort of like Indiana Jones smiled. "Hello all," River Song noted.
"You had better not have brought the TARDIS," Lina chided, "it messes with the Time Space Engine in the bar."
"Yes, yes...," River let that go.
"So, who gets to call the meeting to order?" Ranma asked.
"It's USUALLY, Setsuna," Emperor Tsukino noted.
"Ahem, yes," Setsuna sighed. "We'll probably have other Sailors and Usagi's popping in," she added dryly.
"As usual," Tanya agreed.

"Why aren't we in this episode?" Panty complained, the blonde wearing a very small t-shirt and mini-skirt. A group of women were sitting around a table at Arisugawa's Locket, snacking on nachos and a pitcher of beer.
"Technically we are now," Stocking noted, the purple haired girl dressed in her usual gothic lolita look.
"You know what I mean," Panty sighed.
"Sorry, an alternate me rented the room faster than me," Sailor Pluto noted, the taller woman carrying their drinks over.
"THAT has to be confusing," Illya agreed, the younger blonde drinking a soda.
"Agreed," Setsuna nodded.
"Why didn't you, Miyu and Kuro show up after the first few meetings?" Stocking asked.
"Writer forgot us," Miyu sighed.
"No breaking the fourth wall," Setsuna ordered.
"Yes Time Bitch," Panty sassed.
"Setsuna!" Madoka Kaname waved, dressed in a shimmering pink gown, with wings. "No meeting today?" she asked.
"What happened to YOU?" Illya blinked.
"I kind of got a Goddess-Mode," Madoka said sheepishly, "long story."
"Nice!" Panty gave her a thumbs up.
"What about Homura though?" Miyu asked, concerned.
"Ah..," Madoka started.
"Kaname-san!" the VERY villainous looking Homura called, striding up in her slinky dress.
"Ah., she got villain mode?" Stocking noted. "That's got to making sleeping together fun," she added impishly.
"Hey!" Madoka and Homura both blushed.
Panty just chuckled. "Hey, whatever happened with that masochistic magical girl?" she wondered aloud.
"Azul of Res Magica?" Pluto remembered.
"Yup, her," Panty nodded.
"Her enemy Baiser got a girlfriend, actually," Pluto noted.
"Poor girl," Stocking paused, "Maybe we should introduce her to Scanty and Kneesocks?"
"... I don't want tyo know," Illya decided after a moment.
"Wimp," Panty laughed.
The the whole bar shuddered wildly...

"What the HELL?!" Ranma yelped.
"This is a PG rated series. No swearing!" Sailor Pretty Cure Moon chided.
"NOT THE TIME FOR THAT." Lina yelped as a glowing figure fully materialized.
The figure was shrouded in gold, but also swarming with black... liquid metal? She stood unnaturally straight, and a glowing sword and pistol were clutched in her hands.
"Is that Sailor Venus?!" Tanya yelped.
"Something's VERY wrong, though!" Setsuna added as the table they were sitting at crumpled, collapsing into the singularity around Venus.
"No, REALLY?" River Song snapped back.

"Oh hell, THEM too?!" Ranma complained as a TARDIS crashed into the room, the Police Box topped with the crystal from Sailor Pluto's staff.
"River?!" Doctor Pluto yelped.
"Not now! We've got to get her contained!" River Song barked back.
Then Sailor Venus blipped out, disappearing as suddenly as she appeared.
"What the HECK?" Ranma complained just as the door to the meeting room slammed open.
"What was THAT?" Juri Arisugawa demanded, holding a beam saber as her staff crowded in behind her.
"Sorry, got to rush," Puella Magi Pluto said as the crosstime Plutos jumped into the TARDIS again and vanished.

"Okay this is just getting completely out of hand," Setsuna Meiou, Sailor Time-Moon, sighed.
"Explanations. Now," Juri ordered.

"I'm thinking of barring meetings of alternates of the same person," Juri noted later.
"That's a bit excessive, boss," Ryouko noted.
"As far as we can tell, having so much... Sailor Moon energy in one place nearly ruptured space-time," Washu, the mad scientist and Ryouko's mom, noted.
(Juri had called her in. Washu, after all, had created the device that allowed the bar to cross universes and pick up customers everywhere.)
"But it doesn't happen normally," May, the assistant manager, noted.
"We also don't have large numbers of avatars of the same cosmic force stuffed in a room together," Washu pointed out.
Ryouko pressed, "So you agree with Juri?"
"The safety systems on the Time Space Device SHOULD keep anything too bad from happening," Washu shrugged, "but..."
"No more meet ups like that," Juri said firmly.
"Yeah, yeah...," Ryouko sighed but nodded.
"So, what was that Sailor Venus that appeared?" Juri asked Washu, assuming she might know.
Washu looked worried, "She;s a alternate future version of her. You know how one counterpart of her is searching the multiverse for power?"
"Yes?" Juri asid warily.
"That version went too far," Washu said flatly. "She's so powerful, she's become a unstable cosmic force, pretty much."
"Shit," Ryouko blinked.
"... do we need to do something about her?" May asked worriedly.
"The other Plutos are going after her," Washu said, "hopefully they can head things off before she goes too far."
"Great," Juri sighed. "I just want to run my bar in peace," she muttered.
"There there," May patted her arm.
To be continued...
Notes: YES another Saga of Tanya the Evil cameo. There are several very good (and quite bad) Ranma as Sailor Moon fics. I've also seen fanart of almost every anime series as Sailor Moon characters.
God Emperor Usagi is from my Warhammer 40K Sailor Moon fusion, as yet unwritten.
