Beryl's Guardians Arise! A Yuri Adventure!

Chapter 12

"Why not call us the Sexy Soldiers?" Chastity beamed.

"Or the Soldiers of LOVE?" Hope offered.

"That's MY gig," Sailor Venus complained.

"AHEM," Luna the Cat sighed.

"Could we maybe get to the agenda?" Artemis, ditto, asked.

"Sorry!" Failth, Hope, Chastity, Honor and Charity chorused.

"Sorry," Masked Kamen aka Beryl added mildly.

They were at the Hina Temple, and Gramps was away at at special Buddhist conference, so they could be there in costume. At least Rei ASSUMED it was a conference.. if Gramps was doing the online dating thing again, they were going to have a talk.

"So, we asked you here because we were wondering who's been sending these monsters we're fighting lately," Luna said.

"They don't just naturally occur?" Charity asked.

"No, usually they're part of some villain plot," Sailor Moon nodded.

"Yeah, usually at this point we AT LEAST have run into a high ranking agent who'd reveal they work for SOMEONE," Sailor Mars noted.

"Frankly, I wondered if Beryl was sending them out to give us something to do," Venus noted.

"I would not!" Beryl protested, but she looked shifty.

"You totally thought about it," Chastity said wryly.

"Well," Beryl pouted.

Everyone just sighed.

"Maybe they're leftovers?" Faith suggested, her rubber uniform squeaking slightly as she gestured,

"Leftovers?" everyone chorused.

"I mean, there was the Negaforce," Faith counted off, "Ann and Ail, Black Moon clan, Death Busters, Dead Moon Circus, Shadow Galactica, and that snow queen, Princess Kaguya. They ALL sent out monsters, and weren't careful about it."

"So these could all be surviving creatures from various threats," Sailor Mercury nodded, "it's certainly POSSIBLE."

"So what do we DO about it?" Mars asked.

"Keep a eye on monsters popping up, other than that...," Honor offered, shrugging.

"More patrols I guess," Sailor Moon sighed.

"We'll help out, obviously," Beryl offered warmly.
