Brown (tory_brown@yahoo.com) ::A r c F i f t e e n:: Henshin Phrase. * * * * Usagi was having a peaceful dream of her and Mamoru's wedding. She was decked out in a frothy wedding dress deemed only fit for a princess of the moon. She was cooing happily as Mamoru whisked her about on the dance floor at their reception. Rei and the others where dressed in various colored gowns, dancing with their husbands. Face blushed rose pink with rapture, Usagi turned her face up to Mamoru for a kiss. Mamoru looked at her blankly and started chirping like a weird chicken. "Mamo-chan, why do you say such strange things?" she murmured. Yawning, she turned over and pressed herself against a sleeping Luna. Luna awoke to the feel of something warm pressed against her. Hearing Usagi, talking, she responded. "Because that's the alarm clock going off!" Luna griped, sinking her teeth into the fleshy part of Usagi's upper arm. Usagi sat up, ponytails flying. "Kami-sama, I'm late!" she wailed, leaping from her bed and throwing her pajamas wayside. She dashed about her room, gathering her notebooks and dressing. She paused in front of the mirror to tie her bow and add her brooch. A few passes of her brush and she was ready to go. Luna watched the flurry of activity from the bed. "Look out world, here comes Hurricane Usagi-chan." * * * * Usagi tore her way up the steps of Juuban High School. She paused in front of her shoe locker to quickly change shoes. A bit further ahead, she saw Moshi changing also, putting on her own burst of speed as she hopped forward trying to put on a shoe. "Mo-chan!" Usagi yelled, tossing her shoes inside and slamming the door. "We better get a move on!" Moshi had her bookbag in her teeth and trying to put on the shoe with her good hand. Her left wrist was still pretty banged up from the accident. "Murphrh!" she grumbled as she finally donned the shoe. She removed the bag from her mouth. Together, the two friends sped down the hallway to the stairs that led to the second floor. The first level was clear, but as they rounded the bend to hit the second level, Moshi slammed into a tall body and went sprawling on the landing. Usagi paused and turned. "Mo-chan!" Moshi made sure to keep her injured hand close to her body. "Mou!" she growled. "Minako-chan, how many damn times are we going to do--" "I'm sorry," the voice said. Usagi was so worried about Moshi, she forgotten the wall that Moshi had ran into. The wall was tall with blue hair and pale golden eyes. Moshi opened her eyes and looked up. She felt her breath leave in a rush as she saw the golden eyes turned on her. "Sumimasen!" she babbled, getting to her feet. She bent over and picked up her bookbag. "I should have realized that this was the up stairwell and not the down." Usagi hopped from foot to foot. "Hayaku!" Moshi flushed. "Sorry! We're late for class, uh--" "Taruka," she supplied, smiling again. "Hen'oh Taruka." "Hen'oh Taruka?!" Usagi and Moshi said in unison, both their eyes growing large. "Oi! Taruka-chan, you're chatting up girls again?" a second voice said. The girls looked to the bottom of the stairwell and saw a blue haired boy. His hair was shortcut, but it can be seen that it had deep waves. His large aqua eyes were stern and hard. Taruka smiled. "Oh this is my friend, Mai'oh Kichiru. Kichiru-san, this is.. um.." she stammered as she realized she didn't know their names. Usagi smiled. "Tsukino Usagi!" It took Moshi a second or so to find her voice. "Takanera Moshi." Kichiru tossed his wavy head. "Who cares! We're late! Get your tush down here!" he ordered. Taruka flushed slightly. "Ja ne, Tsukino-san, Takanera-san. I hope to see you around some soon." Both nodded dumbly and waved. They watched in silence as Taruka skipped down the remainder of the stairs to Kichiru, who grabbed her ear and tugged her down the rest of the stairs. When it was finally quit, both girls stared at each other in shock. "Oh damn," Moshi muttered. *BING* *BONG* "WE'RE LATE!" * * * * Haruka was in History class for room 3-4 when there was a knock at the classroom door. Hayashinji-sensei paused class to answer the door. He poked his head out and returned seconds later with a young girl in tow. Haruka felt her hackles rise as she noticed this new student looked -a lot- like her. To make matters worse, she was wearing a fuku of the female variety. Haruka shuddered, at least she know how stupid she would have looked in that version of the Juuban fuku. "Konnichi wa!" Taruka called happily, waving to the class. "Atashi Hen'oh Taruka!" The class gasped and looked at Haruka, who was having a hard time keeping quiet. "Ok, Hen'oh-san, please have a seat next to Ten'oh-san," Hayashinji-sensei ordered. "Ten'oh-san, please raise your hand." Haruka grumbled and raised her hand. Taruka nimbly skipped up the aisles to the middle row where Haruka sat. "Konnichi wa, Ten'oh-san! I hope we can become good friends!" "Yeah yeah, just sit down," Haruka said, waving to the open seat next to her. With a girlish giggle, Taruka settled in the desk, taking care to not wrinkle the dark blue skirt of the fuku. After Taruka put most of the supplies into the desk, the questions started. "So, do you like shopping? I do, I can always find the most lovely skirts at bargain sales!" Haruka covered her head with her history book. "Kami-sama!" * * * * In class 3-8, Michiru's class was having art. The teacher had allowed Michiru, since she was such an advanced student, to lead the session. They were in the middle of different painting styles, when there was a knock at the door. Kinoto-sensei paused class to answer the door. When she returned later, she had a student with her. "Class, I'd like you to meet, Mai'oh Kichiru. He's going to spend the rest of the year with us." Michiru felt her senses flare before she even set eyes on the new student. She felt her breath catch in her throat as she saw him for the first time. He had thick wavy blue hair and deep sea green eyes. Michiru felt as if she was nearly looking in a mirror at her own reflection. Except this reflection was male. As Kichiru passed Michiru's desk, he accidentally knocked a notebook of hers to the ground. The two rushed to pick it up and with a grumble, he passed the book to her. As their hands touched, Michiru felt her senses flare up. "I sense something different about this guy," Michiru thought as she put her notebook back on the desk. Trying to feign indifference, Michiru walked back to the front of the class and resumed teaching from where she left off. * * * * After school, the Moshi, Usagi, and Minako made a mad dash for the Parlor crown with a reluctant Makoto and Ami in tow. "Really, you act as if you hadn't eaten in months!" Ami said as they sat down at their normal booth. Moshi groaned and rolled her eyes at Ami over the edge of her menu. "Well, it seems like months, Ami-chan." "Hai!" Usagi exclaimed, fishing in her pocket for her wallet. "My bento didn't fill me up today as usual." "Nor did the second and third helpings to my bento," Makoto sighed, shaking her empty box. She usually had enough left over to snack on after school, but thanks to Usagi and Moshi, they made short work of her lunch. The doorbell chimed as a new customer walked in. Hino Rei walked over to the booth where her friends were sitting. "Hey guys, I had a feeling you were already here. So, did you remember to-" "Ah, hi, Rei-chan!" Minako suddenly cut in, waving frantically. Moshi cocked one dark eyebrow, what was going on? "Oops, I forgot about that," Rei said with a laugh Usagi quirked one blonde eyebrow and looked at Moshi, who was still doing the exact same thing. "Nani, nani?" she asked, looking at the guilty visages of her 'friends.' Makoto smiled and waved Usagi off with one hand. "It's nothing, really! Don't you two have practice in a half hour?" Moshi glanced at her wristwatch, Makoto was right. They did have track practice in a half-hour and the Sensei was a real bear on any athletes who were late. Usagi looked over at Moshi's watched and wailed. "I haven't eaten yet, I can't go to practice on an empty stomach." Moshi sighed and stood up, grabbing her bookbag. She latched onto Usagi's arm and started to pull. "Me neither, but we can go to a convenience store afterwards, ne?" Usagi struggled. No, she didn't want to go. She wanted to eat! How could Moshi be so heartless? "I'll just be late!" Rei sighed. "Doesn't he make you run 20 laps if you're late?" Rei's last word was unheard as Usagi made a mad dash out the parlor, dragging Moshi behind her. On the dust of her trail, they heard her say, "Ja ne!" * * * * Moshi grumbled and adjusted her Juuban gym shirt. "You didn't have to run into that building." Usagi gingerly touched her nose. "Well, I didn't want to be late," she muttered. The two bent over to tie their shoelaces as the rest of the track team wandered onto the field. Juuban's track team consisted of mostly people from Year 12 and 11, which Usagi and Moshi were in. Some Year 10 students were included as well. Moshi hauled her gym bag over to the bench and put it next to Usagi's. "Ne, Usagi-chan, isn't that Taruka-san?" Usagi looked up and spotted the tall blue haired girl dressed in a track uniform. "That is her! Let's go talk to her!" Moshi and Usagi wandered across the field to where Taruka was talking to a few students. Taruka seemed to be pretty popular, fluttering her eyelashes and giggling with a crystal voice. Moshi reached up and tapped the taller girl with her hand. "Ne, Taruka-san?" Taruka turned around and Moshi and Usagi's face fell flat. Taruka wasn't wearing the female uniform, she was wearing the male uniform, and it showed off her very flat chest. Moshi felt her face twitch and she tried to straighten it up quickly. If Taruka was wearing the tank top and flatter than herself, did that mean...? Taruka couldn't be a guy, it would be too ironic. Moshi really didn't want to look at her crotch to be certain, but being the person she was, she HAD to find out. While Usagi was busy muttering apologies, Moshi stole a glance and felt her eyes bulge in shock. Taruka WAS a guy Taruka giggled at their reactions. They were acting as if they'D never seen a man before. He felt himself start to blush as he caught the tall dark haired girl called Moshi, glancing downward in a sly move. She was looking at his crotch, as if checking to see if he was male or female. He folded his arms and narrowed his yellow gaze on Moshi, who blushed furiously at being spotted. "Didn't your mother tell you not to stare at men's crotches?!" Usagi gasped and her face turned red. "You were looking at his--his? Wait, you're a guy?!" she stammered, looking Taruka up and down. Taruka nodded and smiled. "Yes, I am a guy. What, did you think I was a girl?" Moshi looked at Usagi and then at Taruka. "Well, the skirt DID kind of give us a hint." With the utmost innocent expression, Taruka countered. "What's wrong with wearing a skirt?" The two Senshi looked flabbergasted. "Ano..." Moshi stammered, looking to Usagi for a clue. Usagi shrugged. "Mamo-chan doesn't wear skirts." She turned to Moshi and added. "And I'm sure YOU would have told me!" Moshi giggled and held her hands up. "Never in my presence has Ru-chan romped around in a skirt." She folded her arms and added. "I'd kill Hoshi if he DID though." Taruka sniffed delicately and stuck his nose in the air, running a hand through his blue hair. "Maybe your Mamo-chan and Hoshi don't have legs as pretty as these!" Moshi and Usagi's eyes grew large. Taruka was just too weird for them. As they were walking back to the bench, Moshi pondered aloud. "I bet Minako-chan will be happy." Usagi looked at her with a questioning face. "What do you mean?" "Well," Moshi started, folding her arms. "Minako-chan did say Taruka-san was kind of cute. I was starting to worry about that girl." Usagi's eyes grew large again. "She thought Taruka-san was cute when he was a she?!" Moshi nodded. Usagi smothered a laugh with her towel. "Takanera-san! Tsukino-san! Let's get ready to warm up!" the Sensei called to the pair. "Hai!" * * * * After practice, which lasted only a half-hour because the Sensei was called away on emergency, Moshi, and Usagi made their way to the nearest convenience store and purchased some snacks and drinks. The two walked quietly, happily munching on their recent purchased snacks. Usagi stole a glance at Moshi, who was gladly stuffing more chips into her face. "Ne, Mo-chan," Usagi said after swallowing the last bit of her chips. Moshi wiped her mouth with the back of her hand. "Hai?" "Have you talked to Hoshi-san lately?" Usagi asked gently, knowing how tough of a question this was. She knew it hurt Moshi to ask that, but she had to know. Ever since the breakup, Moshi was tightlipped. A frown crossed Moshi's face. "I really don't want to talk about him. He made his decision and I decided to honor that." "I thought you two made up after Jadeite left!" Usagi exclaimed. Moshi shook her head. "No, he decided that it would still be the best to remain apart." Usagi sighed. She hated the idea that their breakup was permanent. Moshi turned her violet gaze on Usagi. "You know what's scary?" Usagi gulped. "What is?" "I can't even remember my children's names," she said sadly. "I can only remember a Chibi-something, after that it's a blank. I don't even know how many I had anymore." Moshi sighed loudly, stuck another chip in her mouth, and munched sadly. "How can you forget your children?!" Usagi asked. "Chibi--Chibi," she stammered. "Kami-sama, I can't remember them either!" Moshi nodded. "Since we're apart, I guess that means my kids, whoever they are, aren't born and don't come back to the past. So I'm forgetting them!" They continued to talk as they walked. They passed the downtown section and heard a large crowd. Interests piqued, they walked towards the commotion to see what was happening. A large section of the roadway was blocked off. Large cranes holding at least two people on each hovered near by. The crowd was screaming like mad, hoping to get a view of the star. Hoshino Eiga had finally started taping his new movie and was using a part of Juuban as the backdrop. Moshi growled as she spotted Ami, Minako, Makoto, and Rei near the front row. She closed her hand into a fist, crushing the remainder of the potato chips in the bag. "Mo-chan, daijoubu?" Usagi asked, seeing Moshi crushing the bag with all her might. Moshi said nothing, continuing to squeeze the bag. She raised one hand and pointed at everyone near the filming. "Minna!" Usagi growled, stomping over and pushing her way through the crowd. Minako and Rei were sighing over the star that was chosen to play Kurama when Usagi and Moshi's angry faces appeared in their vision. Both girls screamed and jumped into each other's arms. "Nani, I thought you had practice?!" Rei stuttered, trying to keep Minako from crushing her to death. "We did, but Sensei had an emergency to get to," Moshi huffed, glaring at the four girls who all had guilty expressions on their faces. Usagi mimicked Moshi's stance. "Why couldn't you just tell us that this was happening?!" Ami flushed a bright red. "Well, we thought you'd be angry that you would have missed this." Moshi glared at the two cats. Luna was perched on Ami's shoulder and Artemis on Minako's. "So I guess you two felines knew to, ne?" Luna flushed and Artemis started to stammer on his words. Rei was about to respond when she saw the looks cross Moshi and Usagi's faces, but something else caught the miko's attention. "Minna, I feel something evil." "What is it, Rei-chan?" Makoto asked, looking above the crowd. Rei put her hands to her temples to focus. "It's... it's another spirit, I can sense it!" Moshi looked around and tried to pick up the sensation, but she was as numb as a post. "I can't feel anything. Maybe it hasn't attacked yet, I would have felt that." Suddenly, she felt a stab of pain in her side, forcing her to fall to her knees. "Mo-chan!" her friends called as they came to her side. "I think it just attacked someone," she gasped, getting to her feet with the help of Usagi. Ami pulled her minicomputer out her pocket and started tapping away madly. "I can't pick up anything within our radius. It might be best if we split up." "Teams or separate?" Rei asked. "Separate would be better. Six different directions could be covered all together," Ami replied, not moving her eyes from the tiny screen. "Keep in contact with the communicators," Minako ordered, pulling her own from her pocket. "Hai!" * * * * When the pain finally subsided in her side, Moshi trekked out in search of the victim. Since their life force was considerably drained, she would be able to sense the person that had a lower source. She walked amongst the people, trying to feel for the low source. There were too many other life forces in play for her to zero in on one. The crowds of people watched the action eagerly, too oblivious to the threat that the Senshi sensed. As she walked, she felt the lower force coming from her right. She pulled her communicator out her pocked and clicked it on. "Minna, I found it!" The feeling Moshi felt came from a short red haired girl dressed in an elementary uniform. She was watching the crowds with wild blue eyes. Her small fist clenched and unclench in rapid movement, something a non-possessed person wouldn't do. Moshi calmly made her way to the small girl. "Hi, what's your name?" The girl looked up at Moshi, her blue eyes were open wide with insanity. Her short and curly red hair stood up in strands around her small face. "My name need not be known, though my touch is!" she cackled wildly, slapping her thigh as she laughed. Moshi's eyebrow twitched. "Nani?" "The horse sleeps in hay!" she cackled again, running her hands through her hair, making it stand up even more than before. Moshi was starting to wonder if the girl was just crazy. "In Sani T is my name!" the girl said suddenly, running away from the large crowd and towards where Rei was. Moshi hit the communicator again. "Chikuso! Rei-chan, she's heading your way!" She clicked her communicator off and pulled her wand from her pocket. It was time to get down to business and snag In Sani T before she caused any damage. * * * * Rei was on the exact opposite of the street as Moshi and heard Moshi's frantic curse in the communicator. Unfortunately, Moshi didn't give a clear description and Rei was forced to go off her senses. Moshi had said, "She." Meaning that the person was a girl, and so Rei thoroughly inspected any girl that crossed her path. She was starting to think that she'd lost the target, when suddenly a small girl with red hair passed her and set her senses off. "Purple cows tapdance at night!" the girl laughed loudly. Moshi's voice came over the speaker. "Did I mention that she's slightly insane?" Rei scowled and returned. "Nope, something you failed to do...as usual." "Stuff it, Rei-chan!" Moshi's voice came back. "Transform and take care of it, I'm heading your way!" Rei looked around and saw nothing. "Well, she's gone." "NANI!?" * * * * Minako and Usagi parted ways by the Honten downtown. Minako was heading northwards when she heard Rei and Moshi fussing at one another on the communicator. "Minna, what's happening?" Minako asked. Moshi's voice cut in first. "Rei-chan screwed up!" Rei's voice came in second. "Me?! You're the one who can't give a description worth a crap!" Moshi cried out. "MOU!" Minako cut in before the argument before it REALLY got ugly. "Just tell me what to look for. I'm heading north past the Honten." Rei sighed. "Well, I can't describe her. Let Ms. Non-detailed give it to you." Moshi growled. "You're pushing it!" Minako sighed. This could go on forever. Unlike Rei and Usagi, Rei and Moshi could argue and CONTINUE to argue for a length of time. While Minako was trying to calm the dueling Senshi down, a short girl with red hair came by muttering loudly. "Orange cats have green tails!" "I think I found her," Minako stated and clicked her communicator off. Minako calmly walked over to the girl, hesitating to touch her. "Hi, little girl, what's the matter?" The girl looked at Minako with wild eyes. "I'll tell you what's the matter." She started to cackle wildly. Minako gulped; maybe she was in over her head this time. * * * * After a half-hour of searching, no one heard back from Minako. After Moshi and Rei's argument via communicator, they headed towards the Honten where Minako last checked in. The first to reach the area was Ami with Makoto next. Usagi, Moshi, and Rei arrived at the same time. Usagi made sure to keep Moshi and Rei apart, they were still glaring at one another with fire in their eyes. "Anyone hear from Minako-chan?" Makoto asked. Moshi shook her head. "This was where she last checked in. She said she found the crazy girl." Usagi sighed. "This is getting crazy, first Insecurity and then Confusion and then anger, now insanity! What's going on?" Ami shook her head. "I'm not sure, but I'm willing to be it has to do with those look alikes." Moshi shrugged. "Maybe they're disturbing the balance or something." Everyone looked at Moshi with astonished faces. "What? So every once in a while I get an actual thought, leave me alone!" Moshi replied at the stares. Luna muttered. "Moshi has been around Usagi-chan TOO long!" "What if Mo-chan's right?" Makoto asked. "What if two like beings can't be in the same place?" "Then we're in deep trouble," Luna replied. "That doesn't sound good," Usagi stated, looking sideways at Luna. Ami said, "That's because it isn't. It's like Matter and Anti-matter, the two can't co-exist and if they come in contact, they explode." "EXPLODE?!" the other Senshi exclaimed in unison. Ami nodded. "Yes, explode. But what I'm thinking is they're not dopplegangers, but possibly clones." Usagi shook her head in confusion. "Dopplegangers? Clones? What is she talking about?!" For once, Moshi was stumped as well. "I'm blank too." "What Ami-chan means, you two geniuses, is dopplegangers are exact duplicates of someone and they can't be in the same place together. But since none of us have exploded since meeting our doubles, they have to be clones. Someone cloned us!" Rei explained. Moshi and Usagi blinked in unison. "How could they do that?" Moshi asked. Ami plucked a string of hair from Moshi's head making her wince. "This would all they need." "Sugoi!" Usagi exclaimed, peering at the dark strand of hair in Ami's hand. "So from just a little bit of this, we can be copied?" "Exactly," Ami said, dropping the hair. "And it seems they've done that." Moshi folded her arms and sighed. Things were getting more intense as time passed. She thought everything would be over once they helped Nova find her sister. She spotted something familiar looking at them from a tree. "Um, I think I found Venus," she stated, pointing at the tree. Everyone turned to look and a Love Me Chain shot from the tree and scattered the girls. Venus descended from the tree and started to pose wildly. "Move over Sailormoon, Sailorvenus, the most beautiful, strongest and most powerful Senshi is here!" "Venus?" Usagi asked, looking at Venus. The pale blue eyes had a deranged look to them. "Oh no, she's possessed!" Rei cried. "Venus!" Venus cackled madly and shot another Love Me Chain at the group. "All will bow before ME!" Moshi scrambled out the path of the run a runaway chain. "If she's possessed by In Sani T... what's the difference?" "MO-CHAN!" the rest exclaimed, making her flinch. "Gomen, gomen!" Moshi exclaimed, jumping out the way again. "Well, as Minako-chan would say, Minna, henshin yo!" Luna ordered. The air was filled with the cries of transformation and then a loud curse. "Chikuso!" "Mo-chan, transform!" Luna exclaimed. Moshi looked at the black cat and narrowed her eyes. "I just tried it and my wand went POOF!" Luna felt a drop of sweat form on her forehead. "Nani?" Moshi dropped to her knees and stared Luna directly in the face. "My wand just went poof. Now get to flipping!" Luna stammered. "I can't make you a wand!" "Doushite?!" Moshi cried, picking Luna up and starting to shake her. "Since I didn't make your first wand, I can't make any others!" Luna explained. "Whoever made your first henshin necklace, has to make the new wand!" Moshi cursed loud and long, making the cat turn red at the language. The language was so foul Venus stopped her insane tirade for a split second. "Mo-chan, you shouldn't use such dirty language!" she cackled. Moshi wanted to bang her head against the wall. No wand meant no transformation. No transformation meant no Sailorutopia. "Luna, think of something!" Moshi exclaimed as they continued to flee from the wild Senshi. Luna jumped from Moshi's hands and stopped in front of her. "I'll try to make one!" With a flip, Luna turned into the air and sparkles came from her fur as a wand was formed in the air. Moshi was expecting a new snazzier wand, but it was the same wand as before. The only real change was now a pair of purple wings decorated the top part, where the infinity sign hovered "Luna, it's the same wand!" Luna wobbled slightly as she steadied herself on her feet. "Sorry, that's all I could come up with." Moshi grumbled, "Now the cat's defective." She stood up and grabbed the wand as it hovered in the air. "Now what?" Luna frowned. "Tapdance with it. What do you think? Transform!" Moshi ducked another Love Me chain and almost crashed into Sailormars, who was preparing an ofuda to slap on Venus. "Move!" Mars ordered, pushing Moshi backward from the blast. "Gee, Mars, tell me you really care," Moshi muttered as she stood to her feet. She threw the wand into the air and yelled, "Utopia Power, make up!" The wand did a pretty flip in the air and landed with a loud thunk on her head. Luna's eyes grew two sizes as she watched what happened. "Nani? Why didn't it work?!" Moshi shrugged and looked at the wand on the ground. "Maybe I was supposed to have a new henshin phrase?" Luna watched as the other Senshi strained to keep the insane Venus under control. "We'd better figure something out fast, they need you!" "That they do, but unless we don't figure out this phrase, we're sh-" "MOSHI!" Luna scolded. "Gomen!" Moshi replied sheepishly. While the Inner Senshi struggled with an insane Venus, who seem to be able to take all four Senshi on with no trouble. Moshi and Luna ran through various henshin phrases to see what Utopia's phrase was. So far, they were having no luck. "Ok, how about this!" Moshi cried. "Utopia Prism Power, make up!" Nothing. "Dammit!" Moshi cursed, throwing the wand to the ground. "I give up, maybe it wasn't meant for me to transform again!" Luna sighed. "Try Crystal Power, you never had that ability before." Moshi groaned. "Crystal Power was only because of Pegasus and I was in the future when that happened." "Exactly," Luna countered, "but you powered up to Super the exact same moment the rest of the inner Senshi did." "Hmmm, I'll try! Utopia Crystal Power, make up!" *THUNK* "LUNA!" Moshi cried. Luna started wracking her brain for an answer. Poor Artemis was too concerned about Venus to be any assistance. Moshi watched as Luna paced back and forth, tail twitching while she pondered the current situation at hand. Moshi became bored and sat at the foot of a tree, fiddling with the wand. "Maybe I should just say Earth Infinite Power, make up again." Before she knew it, Moshi was standing clothed in the sleeveless fuku of Sailorutopia. Utopia looked down at her fuku. "Ok, someone screwed up here." Luna bounced over to Utopia's feet. "It doesn't matter, as long as you can transform!" She swiped at Utopia's ankles. "Now get going, they need help!" * * * * Mercury currently had Venus walled in around a tree, shielded by a wall of ice. "That should hold for now. Mars, see if you can get that ofuda on her!" Mars reached into subspace and pulled an ofuda into view. "I hope this works," she said under her breath as she brought the ofuda before her face. "Akuryo Taisan!" Before the ofuda could attach itself to Venus tiara, she whipped out three Crescent Beams, destroying the wall of ice that kept her penned in. "That stupid piece of paper will NEVER trap me!" She planted her hands on her hips and threw her head back, cackling wildly to the air. "AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" "Infinite Boomerang!" a voice called from behind them. Everyone watched as a large golden boomerang in the shape of infinity flew outward and wrapped itself around Venus. Venus strained against the boomerang, spittle flying from her mouth as she growled. "Who threw this! Who threw this!" "I did!" Utopia said, stepping into view. "Jinsei to enaajii no, maboroshi no Senshi, seera Yutopiia." The other Senshi stared at her with large eyes. "Maboroshi?!" Mars muttered, folding her arms and glaring at Utopia. "Now what do we do? We have her contained, at least for now," Jupiter commented, keeping an eye trained on Venus, who was still struggling against her bonds. "We can't attack her, that'll hurt her," Moon said, nibbling on one gloved finger. "I'll handle this," Mars said, pulling another ofuda out. "Someone pin her down, keep her from moving!" "I got it!" Utopia exclaimed. She held her arms out and the two golden bracers vanished and reappeared on Venus' wrists. The boomerang vanished and the two bracers hauled Venus into the air, holding her in place. "Let me go!" Venus cried. "I can't move!" "That's the point!" Jupiter said with a laugh. "Here I go!" Mars exclaimed, running forward and slapping the ofuda on Venus. "Akuryo Taisan!" The moment the paper touched the tiara, Venus let out an unearthly howl as a dark shape appeared around her. "That's the spirit!" Utopia exclaimed. "Get ready, Sailormoon!" Venus went limp with fatigue as In Sani T pulled herself from the Senshi. "You won't get rid of me that easily! MWAHAHAHAHAA!" "NOW!" Mercury yelled. The eternal tier appeared in Moon's hands and she powered up for her attack. In Sani T, being a crazy individual, only stood and watched. "Silver Moon Crystal Power Kiss!" "Uhoh," In Sani T said as the arc of energy collided into her body, sending her sprawling. "Insanity!" she cried, as she vanished into a puff of smoke. The bracers vanished from Venus's wrists and reappeared on Utopia's. Venus' limp body fell to the ground. Artemis let out a relieved cry and bounded over to his Senshi. "Venus-chan!" Moon cried, rushing over. Venus opened her eyes slowly and sat up, seeing the Senshi around her with concerned looks on their faces. "Minna? Artemis?" "How are you feeling, Mina?" Artemis asked. Venus shrugged. "I feel fine, I guess?" "Well, she's back!" Utopia crowed. "Good," Moon said. "GET HER!" Venus let out a muffled cry as five Senshi and two cats pounced on her in a hug. * * * * Hoshi was studying in his room late at night, when he had the peculiar feeling that he was being watched. Rubbing his eyes, he closed his textbooks and put his pencil down. He reached over, turned the lamp on his desk off, and walked to the window. He peered through the curtains and saw a figure on the building next to his. The figure was that of a girl with her hands planted on her narrow hips. Two long ribbons trailed behind her, nearly touching the ground. Since it was dark, he could only see two golden bracers on her wrists. The golden metal of the bracers glittered eerily in the moonlight. "Moshi..." he whispered as he saw the figure leap off into the night, the dark hair trailing behind like a wispy cape.
