Author's note: As a special gimmick, this arc takes only ten minutes of real time (but some scenes will happen concurrently).
Author's note: Tokyo is eight hours ahead of London.

"Moon Prism Power ..."
"Wait."
Ranma-ko looks at Artemis with a curious expression.
"You can move just as fast when you're not transformed. You might have a better chance at capturing the Rainbow Crystal if you're less noticeable."
Ranma-ko nods. "Climb aboard."
Artemis climbs on Ranma-ko's shoulder and Ranma-ko takes off in the direction of the explosion.

"Most surprising for a mere human, but now you are giving up that crystal! Zoi!" Zoisite throws a wave of sakura blossoms at Hino Rei's grandfather, which surround him and sap his energy.
"Zoi!" Zoisite unleashes the power of the Dark Crystal.
"Ahhhhhhhhhgh" Hino Rei's grandfather screams in agony as the Blue Rainbow Crystal is taken from his body.
Tuxedo Kamen watches this coolly from his perch on the ornamental gate. "Chance."
The Blue Rainbow Crystal floats towards Zoisite's hand, but right before it gets there, a red rose deflects it. The rainbow crystal falls on the ground and makes a musical tinkling sound.
"You!" Zoisite is furious.
"I'll be taking that Rainbow Crystal."
"I don't think so, Tuxedo Kamen. Yoma Jiji, awake!"
An ominous cloud of smoke surrounds Rei's grandfather. When the swirling smoke subsides, Rei's grandfather is gone and in his place is a scary-looking monster.
"Jiji."
Tuxedo Kamen takes his eyes off of Zoisite, distracted by Jiji's rather ugly and intimidating image.
Zoisite takes this opportunity to step on Tuxedo Kamen's rose and cause the crystal to levitate to his hands. "I'll be taking this. Jiji, finish off Tuxedo Kamen."
Zoisite jumps into the woods.
"Zoisite, you coward, fight me."
"Jiji!" Jiji spits a blast of spirit energy at Tuxedo Kamen as he chases after Zoisite. The blast just misses.
21:46:30 (Tokyo)
Yuichiro, after hearing the blast, runs into the fire ceremony room. He sees the damage and the missing wall partition.
"This looks bad. I wonder if Master is okay?"
Yuichiro hears a disturbance outside. He runs out into the yard only to come face to face with Jiji.
"Jiji."
"An akuma?" I expected to hit a few trees during his rope swinging practice, but I did not expect to fight a monster.
Jiji loses interest in fighting Tuxedo Kamen (who has chased Zoisite into the woods) and starts chasing Yuichiro.
13:47:00 (London)
Mio Kuroki sees Sailor V and officer Katarina approaching in the distance. It is time to start the second part of my plan.
Mio's eyes go blank as she projects her spirit energy.
About a mile away, Allen jumps up. Katarina is in trouble. I must save her!
Mio sinks to her knees. Controlling a Yoma Monster and doing a long range summoning at the same time is taxing on my puny body, a situation made much worse by the horrible weather. But, I will fight on!
21:48:30 (Tokyo)
Yuichiro temporarily gives the monster the slip. He races to Rei's room to warn her.
"Miss Rei!"
"EEEEEEECCCKKK!"
Yuichiro notices too late that Rei was still dressing. "This is bad."
"You peeped me!"
"There's no time for that. There's a monster in the shrine."
Rei throws on her shrine maiden uniform and runs out of her room. "A monster?"
"Jiji!"
"There it is!"
Yoma Jiji chases a terrified Rei and Yuichiro who run.
21:48:30 (Tokyo)
Tuxedo Kamen loses sight of Zoisite in the woods.
"Ho, ho, ho, ho. Looks like I have won again."
"Zoisite!" Tuxedo Kamen looks down dejectedly. Zoisite has beaten me three times in a row. I have to come up with a plan before the last Rainbow Crystal appears.
Tuxedo Kamen has a vague feeling of unease. I have never been to this shrine before, but there seems to be a familiar presence here.
On the other side of the woods Ranma-ko and Artemis arrive.
"Let's split up."
Ranma-ko nods and the two warriors rush through the woods.
13:47:00 (Tokyo)
The Yoma Monster, under Mio's direction, ducks into a seedy-looking warehouse.
Sailor V lets Katarina off of her back.
"I'll go around to the back."
Sailor V nods. We'll see what this Yoma Monster is made of.
Sailor V looks cautiously in the door before entering, wary of a trap.
Mio smiles to herself. "It's show time."
Mio projects herself into the Yoma Monster.
The Yoma Monster climbs to an area full of flammable paper debris. "A Yoma Monster is flying up in the sky, is this possible?" The Yoma Monster, still in human form, sings to itself.
The Yoma Monster pulls out of its pocket a hand grenade and pulls the pin.
