Go ahead and send all C&C here, though.

I'm not subbed to the list, but I do read the daily archive, so if
you REALLY wanted, you could also send it to the list.
----------------------
Okay, so either I've got no patience, or all the (two) people I have for
possible pre-readers are on vacation...

So here it is, those who have been waiting. Chapter six. It's been done
since Saturday, but... Since I've had a recommendation or two to have my
stuff pre-read I waited until... I just felt I HAD to send it in.

Therefore, as this is not pre-read... Feel free to tear it to pieces. ^_^
Oh, come on! It'll be fun! Any form of C&C is great! (Never been MST'd...
Okay, never been flamed either... Nice people so far.)

Disclaimer: Just in case everyone hadn't figured it out yet: Sailor Moon

think... Any other characters you may recognize belong to their respective

Here goes...

Nuke 'Em 'Till They Glow!!
Chapter Six

&&&[Begin Chapter 6.]

	Far across the sands of time, through the gate and back
again, the Official Keeper of Time, the temporal know-it-all of
temporal know-it-alls, Sailor Pluto, was still puzzling over the
great questions of the ages...

	Why are we here?

	What is the sound of one hand clapping?

	If a tree falls in the forest with nothing around to hear
it, does it make a sound?

	And last but foremost on her mind...

	"WHY DO I STILL HAVE THIS BLASTED HEADACHE?!?!!?!?!?" Sailor
Pluto wondered aloud to non-existant listeners. This particular
migrane had popped up sometime during the late twentieth century,
as is common for events of this magnitude.

	Of the top ten signs that the universe is doomed to endless
torment, three of them involve Sailor Pluto.

	Number Seven: Sailor Pluto jumps through a time gate with
the words, "So long, suckers!"

	Number Five: Sailor Pluto has a REALLY bad migrane headache.

	Number One: Sailor Pluto is curled up in the corner of a
park muttering, "We're all going to die! We're all going to die!"

	Number five, not being the worst thing, but nevertheless on
the top ten, was certainly a sign of what most sentient lifeforms
would call "Bad Things!"

	The "Bad Thing!" in question had already passed and disaster
had been narrowly averted through the clever thinking of certain
very powerful individuals, but that didn't mean that Sailor Pluto
was about to let the cause of the event go unrewarded.

	"On behalf of the timeline, I'll punish them!" Sailor Pluto
muttered to herself.

	On the list of the "Top Ten Worst Mistakes of Your Miserable
Existence," it gives you a listing of what will happen if you make
the listed mistake.

	Number Three, for example, lists getting Sailor Pluto angry.
Unfortunately, in order to get the PG-13 rating, the list was
forced to omit the explanation of what will happen if you do.

	Suffice it to say that the suggestions to those who were
planning on doing this despite the warning said this:

	"Forget it! Unless you happen to be a nine billion year old
dark lord of chaos, you don't stand a chance. It's been nice
knowing you."

	Needless to say, after reading these fascinating articles,
many did just what the lists told them they shouldn't. Soon after
they did, they were asked if they would do the same thing if they
had a chance not to.

	99 percent said "NO WAY!!"
	.5 percent said, "Yes."
	.4 percent said, "Huh?"
	 0 percent said, "I would very much like a piece of cheese."

	Back on the subject of "Top Ten" lists, number eight on the
"Top Ten Ways to Get Sailor Pluto Mad at You," was to give Sailor
Pluto a migrane headache. (Number nine was a Pink Sugar Heart
Ache."

	The final suggestion these many helpful guides was to
"Run Like Heck!"

	Meanwhile, as this discussion was going on through the
various time streams, Sailor Pluto had just devised exactly what
she would do to who caused the temporal elimination paradox, therby
causing the headache. It was not pleasant, the first part of which
she blurted out.

	"Someone's gonna die!!!" Sailor Pluto steamed, cracking her
knuckles. She had just uncovered a former timeline; one that had
been destroyed by one foul, evil creature. She also managed to get
a picture of the being.

	The one who caused this, even though he had no idea that he
did the act, had no intention whatsoever of letting her find out
that it was him.

	It was a "Continued Existence" sort of thing.

	Focusing, Sailor Pluto searched, but kept running into
"blocks." Those shouldn't be possible, but there they were,
keeping her from seeing anything about the timestream they were
protecting.

	"I knew it! Reenie WAS a space-time error!" Sailor Pluto
said to herself, seeing what the blocked areas had affected.

	Focusing harder, she smashed past the barriers, finding out
whatever she could.

	The barriers slammed closed once more.

	Sailor Pluto smiled. She found out all she needed to know.

---

	<Did you just feel something?>

	<Sounded like a spleen...>

	<Oh, just stop that! I need to concentrate!>

	Atomic Starlight Knight was testing out a "Secret Identity."
All the greats had one. Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, the
Sailor Senshi, the Knight Sabers, everyone. His secret identity was
a tad different but operated on much the same principle. The main
difference was that he IS the Atomic Starlight Knight, while the
identity was that which is fake. He only needed to come up with the
proper form.

	"Disguise Power, change me into a mild mannered newspaper
reporter!" A.S.K. said magnificently, activating his knowledge
of the Luna Pen, along with modifications that he had hoped would
work.

	Unfortunately, the disguise magic malfunctioned.

	*KASPLASH!*

	The pigtailed red-head found herself spluttering and
coughing out water from the canal she had just blown herself into.

	<They told me they fixed it!>

	<Um, I'm sorry->

	<I trusted them!> She pounded on her head.

	<It's not my fault!>

	"That's the third time this week!" She yelled at herself,
"Do you know how hard it is to decide on names and suffixes, much
less pronouns?!"

	<I'm sorry, I'm sorry!>

	<No you're not!>

	<You're right! So whatcha gonna do about it? Huh? huh?>

	<Grrrr... MENTAL BOOT TO THE HEAD!>

	*WHACK!* She gets thrown against the wall of the canal.

	<OW! Well, stop this if you can! Pink Sug-HEY! What's
that?!> She thought, starting to climb out.

	The internal war had been cut short as a green-headed
woman in a Sailor Senshi outfit, carrying a large key appeared
from a time gate.

	<The fuzz! Engage all temporal blocks! Turn on the nice act!
Stand up straight! [Form Appropriate:YES] Activate "cute eyes"->

	"Um, excuse me, young lady?" Sailor Pluto said, puzzled, as
if expecting to find someone else here.

	<I am NOT a girl!>

	<Shut up! At present, you are, now stop coughing up water
and ACT LIKE IT!!!!>

	<-Secure all animals to the zoo->

	"Hello?" Sailor Pluto said, waving a hand in front of the
girl's eyes.

	<-Now make like a cute little bipedal homonid and respond!>

	<But->

	<Unless, of course, you wish to end up EXACTLY LIKE THOSE
YOUMA YOU DUSTED!!!>

	"Oh, hello, Miss!" She said brightly. "Can I help you with
anything?" Sailor Pluto shrugged and held out a hand.

	"It looks like you're the one who needs some help." Sailor
Pluto said, helping her out of the canal.

	During this, the girl was inwardly shaking and was
misinterpreting that last sentence as bad as one possibly could.

	<She's finally gonna blast me this time!>

	<Calm down... Pixie dust, Pixie dust.> She started to calm
down mentally.

	<I'M THE LEPRECHAN! DON'T TRY AND STEAL ME POT O' GOLD!!!>
She let out a yelp.

	"What's wrong?" Sailor Pluto asked, concerned.

	"Um, nothing... Just a slight bruise." She said, rubbing her
shoulder.

	<Slight bruise?! Is that the best you can come up with?>

	*WHAM!*

	<Quiet!>

	Sailor Pluto kept wondering why the one she was looking for
wasn't here. She was still being blocked somehow, too. If the one
she was looking for wasn't here... then why was she here?!

	Under normal circumstances, Sailor Pluto would have this
entire thing figured out in, quite literally, no time at all, but
considering that a really good migrane headache, as sufferers can
tell you, can have roughly the same effect on one's mental
capabilities as a complete frontal lobatomy, well, she was having
a little trouble.

	"Too bad," Sailor Pluto said, mind somewhere else, then
coming to focus on the girl, "By the way, have you seen this
person?" Sailor Pluto held up a picture of the Atomic Starlight
Knight. The girl gasped.

	"I see you have," Sailor Pluto said mysteriously, concluding
that since she was here, and her... TARGET-THAT-SHE-WAS-GOING-TO-
BLOW-TO-SMITHERINES-AS-SOON-AS-SHE-SAW-HIM wasn't, then this girl
certainly must know where... HE is. "Where can I find him?"

	<Um, quick, eat this bucket of lard!> She thought, taking
out a bucket. She began to chug the contents.

	<Swallow, man, SWALLOW!!>

	Sailor Pluto raised an eyebrow. The girl smacked herself and
dropped the bucket.

	<What was that?!>

	<Um, a diversion?>

	<Last time I ever listen to you!>

	"Allow me to repeat myself: Where is he?" Sailor Pluto said.

	The girl looked from side to side, took out a scrap of
paper [Not waterlogged, mind you!] and scribbled an address on
it. She then handed it to Sailor Pluto and ran off. Sailor Pluto
gave half a smile and read the address.

	"Japan... Hmm.. a Tokyo suburb.." She said to herself,
reading some of the address to herself.

***

	"Neflyte, tell me your plans." Queen Beryl said.

	"Unlike the former general, I do not need to harvest energy
from large amounts of people to acheive our goals." Nephrite said.
He had managed to totally shrug off the horrendously poor name
pronunciation.

	"What will you do, then?" Beryl asked.

	"At any given time, there are certain humans that reach
their peak energy level. I will ask the stars to find out who and
when." Nephrite said.

	Zoicite appeared with an annoying laugh. "Hey, Nephrite,
betcha that you'll mess up like Jadeite." Nephrite rolled his
eyes.

	"Yeah, yeah, Zoicite. We've heard it." Nephrite teleported.

	"Zoicite, don't worry. If he fouls up, you can take over."
Beryl said.

	"Okay, Queen Beryl," Zoicite said, then mumbled, "At least
she gets MY name right..."

***

	"The stars know everything..." Nephrite said, focusing. He
was in his star-house/cathedral/place. "Show me the human whose
energy is approaching its peak."

	The star view fades to show a young woman dressed for
playing tennis.

***

	"Molly, I didn't know you had a world champion tennis
player in the family!" Serena said.

	"Neither did I." Molly said, confused.

	"Um, I think she's just a good tennis player." Terra said
helpfully.

	"Oh yeah.. But she sure plays like one." Serena said.

	The tennis player in question was, in fact, playing really
quite well. Therefore, the above people were making accurate
observations. However, the next observation that Serena makes
will be wrong, by nearly every possible definition.

	"AAH! A snake!" Serena said, jumping up.

	"'Ey, I'm not a snake!" The ArbyFish said indignantly.

	"Oh." Serena said.

	"You do laugh like one, though." Terra noted.

	"True, true... But 'ave a mushroom anyway!" Arby said,
tossing a mushroom. Terra caught it.

	"Stuffed mushroom. Well prepared, too. You're improving."
Terra said nicely. Arby smiled.

	"Ya got two minutes to get ta class." Arby said. Serena
looked at her watch and confirmed this.

	"AAH! You're righ-" Serena was cut off as she was taken
by the arm by a running Terra.

	Arby, holding up a radar-gun, clocked the speed.

	"Not bad. She's takin' it slow today..."

---

	<Here it is,> Sailor Pluto thought, arriving at the
specified address. <May as well knock.>

	She knocked. A woman with a smile on her face answered. ^_^

	"Hello!" She said happily, "How may I help you?"

	"I'm looking for this person." Sailor Pluto said, showing
the picture. The woman looked at it.

	"You know, that sort of looks like... He's in the dojo."
She said happily.

	"Thank you." Sailor Pluto said, and began walking toward
the building.

...

	A certain hyper-powered martial artist we all know and
love/hate was practicing in the family dojo.

	At least, he was until some crazed person in an abbreviated
sailor suit burst through the door.

	Crazed people blasting things was common in this young man's
life, as was people shouting out odd phrases before doing the
blasting.

	"DEAD SCREAM!!" She said.

	The young man didn't have a clue what this was about, but
he was absolutely sure that his pop had something to do with it.

	This was going to be just one of those days...

---

	"Why? Why? Why?!" Atomic Starlight Knight said, trying to
find a better way to block out Sailor Pluto's temporal sweeps.

	<I don't know! There's just something about the current
method that will not let her ignore me!>

	<You don't think she found out about that->

	<No. That was too well hidden. Instant Jusenkyo water cannot
be detected through temporal sweeps.>

	<Says you!>

	<Uh huh.>

	<Are you sure she wants to blast you?>

	<Yes.>

	<Oh really?>

	<Quiet. What I really need to know is how to stop her from
following me. The inner temporal blocks are secure, so she doesn't
know about the "Big Scary Monster" yet.>

	<What did I do, then?>

	<Try and find a more subtle way to block it. And while
you're at it, FIX THAT DANG TRANSFORMATION MAGIC!>

	A.S.K. still had not rectified that little bug. A cute
little pigtailed redhead was still the visible image.

	<Um.. This one's going to take a while.>

	<How long?>

	<Seven and a half->

	<Not till next week?!>

	<No! No. About seven hours.> A.S.K. was relieved.

	<Okay, I'll go.. play some tennis or something until then.>

	<But I want to blow something up!>

	<...>

	*WHAM!*

---

	Nephrite had arrived on Earth, set himself up with a house,
a car, and a name. Now was the time to do his evil-nasty-badness!

	He saw his target, a brown haired tennis player, now to get
down to business.

	*BAM!* He rammed into his target... and someone else.

	"Ouch. Oh, I'm sorry, let me help you." Nephrite said,
concentrating, putting an evil-dark mark on the racket. [Aw, I'll
just type it how it sounds...]

	"May the holder of this become a servant of evil!" Nephrite
said to himself, finishing the job. "Here you go."

	"Uh, thanks." The pigtailed redhead said, taking the racket.

	"Wrong one!" Nephrite realized, grabbing the other racket.

	"Hey!" The tennis player said.

	"May the holder of this become a servant of evil!" Nephrite
said, concentrating.

	The evil-dark mark wasn't appearing.

	"Mister, can I please have my racket back?"

	"Just a second!" Nephrite said, concentrating harder.

	Still nothing.

	"Sir?"

	"Wait, wait!" Nephrite said, taking out a felt-tip pen,
drawing in the mark. As soon as he finished, the girl snatched the
racket-

	*WHACK!* -and bonked him on the head with it.

	"WAAH!" Nephrite said, holding his head.

	"You've been practicing!" A girl said from the sidelines.

	Nephrite stormed off.

---

	Sailor Pluto was wondering where her target had run off to.
After blasting him once, which he amazingly survived, he had
run off, muttering about asking "the old ghoul" for a counter
technique.

	Ah, there he is!

	"Dead Scream!" Sailor Pluto said. The young man didn't
seem to be frightened.

	"Mouko Takabisha!" He said. A ball of energy whipped out
from him.

	The attacks met in the air, cancelling completely.

	Sailor Pluto was surprised. She hated being surprised.

###

	A small planet, Pluto, but an extremely important one. It
held, among other things, the Time Gate. The Time Gate was the
singularly most important discovery in temporal physics of the
Silver Millenium. With the Gate, one could reach any point in
history, or could go into the future.

	Quite a useful tool, actually, if you wanted to go and
destroy the universe with a temporal shockwave. Luckily, when it
was discovered, an entire Senshi was put into guarding it. Can't
have people going and destroying the universe... It simply
wouldn't be proper.

	It was also useful in that if used properly, it could also
tell you anything and everything you want to know about the
timeline, and could allow you to change it.

	And so it came as a great surprise to Sailor Pluto when
a surprise attack began on the planet, in accordance with the laws
of unpredictibility.

	**VRZZT** *BLAM!* Sailor Pluto snapped fully awake. Okay,
well, half asleep.

	"What was that?!" She asked.

	As soon as she asked the question, she knew the answer.

	"A surprise attack? By who?"

	Again, she knew the answers to all these.

	"'Big Scary Monster?!' Why wasn't I informed?"

	She was informed.

	"Oh. But why on the EXACT night I decide to go to sleep for
once?!"

	She knew the answer to that, also.

	*BLAM*BLAM*BLAM!* **VRZZT!**

	The attack had come from a monster. Well, monster being a
tremendously enormous understatement. This particular beastie had
destroyed countless civilizations, decimated entire galaxies, and
had JUST BREACHED THE OUTER DEFENSES!!!

	Sailor Pluto sprang into action, leaping out of bed,
speeding toward the guest quarters, and attempting to awaken the
two visiting Outer Senshi.

	"WAKE UP!!" Sailor Pluto said urgently.

	"Wha..?" The answer came sleepily.

	"If you want to keep this planet from being destroyed, GET
UP!"

	There was some mumbling and grumbling, but the door finally
opened.

	"Good, now hurry!"

...

	Rushing to a point where they could view the attacker, they
saw what it was. Sailor Pluto already knew exactly what it was and
what it wanted. Sailors Neptune and Uranus [Let's forego all the
pronunciation jokes, okay? Okay.] didn't have a clue what was
going on.

	"What's going on?" Sailor Neptune asked groggily.

	"See that?" Sailor Pluto said, pointing at a rather large
dark creature slashing at things, tossing energy blasts, and
making loud screeching noises.

	"Yeah," Sailor Uranus said.

	"In twenty seconds, it is going to be attacking the Time
Gate," Sailor Pluto said, "And we have to try to stop it."

	"Doesn't look too tough," Sailor Neptune said.

	"Um, yes it does.." Sailor Uranus said.

	"Alright, fine, so let's destroy it so we can go back to
bed." Sailor Neptune said.

	They moved into attack position.

	"Ready, aim..." A voice with an odd accent said. Sailor
Pluto glanced up.

	"Move back three feet, please." Sailor Pluto said to the
other Senshi. They did so.

	"PORRIDGE!!!!" The voice said. Instantly, huge quantities of
a soup-like substance poured upon the creature. Of all the things
it HAD expected: Energy blasts, missiles, burning oil, it had not
expected quite that to happen. "Come on, put your backs into it,
lads, now! Porridge!" The stream of porridge swept down, barely
missing the Senshi.

	"How did you know that was going to be happening?!" Sailor
Neptune asked.

	"Magic." Sailor Pluto said. "Okay, actually, Arby has been
advertising his Mushroom Porridge drop for weeks."

	"Okay, it's distracted, so... DEEP SUBMERGE!!"
	"WORLD SHAKING!!"
	"DEAD SCREAM!!"

	The attacks fell upon the distracted creature, making a nice
loud impact and making the creature squeal loudly. It turned
around and glared angrily at them.

	"Growlf." It said simply. As the Senshi wasted a few
precious seconds interpreting it, the creature unleashed attacks
that duplicated the ones the Senshi used.

	*BOOMCHAKALAKALAKABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

	They were duplicates except for the fact that they were
increased in amplitude by a factor of twenty. The monster,
satisfied at its work, flew back to its starship, which was
engaged in the meaningless decimation of the planetary surface.
The ship departed.

	"I.. (cough) thought that you were supposed to be able to
predict these things." Sailor Neptune said, coughing out a small
puff of black smoke.

	"I am." Sailor Pluto said, also slightly char-broiled.

	"Then.. why did you let us attack it?!" Sailor Uranus asked.

	"It wasn't after the Time Gate, it was after *us*. Once it
blasted us, it left."

	"So we're done here?"

	"Right." Sailor Pluto said.

	"Good."

	They collapsed.

###

	Yeah, there have always been surprises, but she had always
been able to come up with the correct response. But now? She was
still being blocked!

	"Still fighting?" The pigtailed martial artist asked.

	Sailor Pluto gritted her teeth and nodded. As was custom for
sailor-suited warriors, she decided to make a speech.
Unfortunately, that headache was making a proper speech a mite
difficult to say.

	"Foul cur! Thou wilt relinquish thy control on the timeline
immediately or face my wrath! For I am Sailor Pluto, green haired
key holder of the space-time continuum!" Sailor Pluto forced out.
Lightning flashed behind her.
	
	The young man raised an eyebrow.

---

	"Yeah, smash THIS ball into your court! Sonic Tennisball
SLAM!!" A.S.K. said, still not having resolved the disguise
problem.

	"HAHAHA! Weakling! You cannot defeat ME!!" The other person
said, smashing the ball back at an incredible velocity, hitting
A.S.K. squarely on the nose.

	"AOUCH!!!" A.S.K. said, rubbing his/her/its nose.

	<Alright, WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?!?!?!>

	<Remember that guy that wouldn't let go of the racket?>

	<Uh, yeah.>

	<That was Nephrite.>

	<But if that was Nephrite, then what would he want with a
*tennis racket*!?>

	<Hmmm... Oh yeah, he must've drawn in an evil-dark mark or
something.>

	<Oh, look! There's a mark on your racket, too!>

	<But that would mean that->

[Nephrite: Energy level approaching its peak..]

	"Grhaha..." A.S.K. said maniacally.

	"Help me..Help me.." A.S.K. said weakly to side people.

	"Shut up, you fool! This body is mine now! HAHAHA!" A.S.K.
said insanely.

	<That goes a long way toward explaining the increased
violence...>

	"Shut up!" Posessed Starlight Knight said, smashing the
end of the racket on [Pronouns! My kingdom for a gender-neutral
pronoun!] their head with a *Whack!*

	<Hey! I ain't gonna just sit down and take it! NUCLEAR
MENTAL BOOT TO THE HEAD!>

	*SMACK!* P.S.K. goes sprawling against the court.

	"You're not getting out of it THAT easily!" P.S.K. said,
tearing out a metal support beam and-

	*WONG!* -whacking themselves upside the head.

	<Ow! Try this one on for size! DEEP PERSONALITY SUBMERGE!!>

...

	Nephrite watched the scene in half amusement and half
confusion, wondering why the red-head was so close to an energy
peak while still not quite hitting it. It also didn't make any
sense why the youma posessing that one would be attacking itself.

	But that really didn't matter. She had somehow just managed
to blast herself off the court. He didn't see where she went.
The one he was keeping his eye on was steadily reaching their
energy peak. Not very long now.

---

	*Ring* Like the wretched creatures from some derranged
behavioral experiment, the students stood and left the classrooms.

	"The Bells, the Bells! Sanctuary, Sacntuary!"

	"Um, what are you doing, Terra?" Serena asked.

	"She's quotin' the 'unchback a' Notr' Dame." Arby said.

	"Okay..." Serena said.

	"So what are you going to do today?" Terra asked nicely.

	"Try to take over the world!!" Arby said.

	*GROAN*

	"What was that?" Serena asked.

	"Alta'nate dimension people. They think they're writin'
stories!" Arby said playfully.

	Lavender mists swirl...

	"But some of us know what's really going on." The man in
purple that just appeared said.

	Lavender mists swirl once again...

	Serena blinked as the man disappeared. o_O

	"Uh-huh... Well, whatever. I'm going back to watch the
tennis players." Serena said.

	"See you later." Terra said.

---

	Upon arriving at the tennis courts, Serena was greeted by
a strange sight. One of the players was acting extremely violent.
That in and of itself wouldn't be that unusual, but the fact that
the tennis balls she was returning were denting the concrete made
her a little difficult to ignore.

[Nephrite: Energy is at its peak!]

	The black aura and youma popping out to drain energy was
also a pretty good clue that something was wrong.

	"Moon Prism Power!" Serena said.

	One drawn out transformation later, Sailor Moon was ready
to make a speech.

	"I am Sailor Moon, Champion of Justice! Tennis is a game for
playing and excercise! Taking the energy of a wonderful player is
unforgivable! On behalf of the Moon (Bonk) Hey! You're supposed to
let me finish!" Sailor Moon said, dodging tennis balls.

	"Don't worry! You'll be finished when I'm through with
you!!" The youma said.

	"This isn't dodge ball!" Serena whined, dodging.

---

	"Take THIS!" Posessed Starlight Knight said, smashing their
head against a brick wall.

	"ACK! Oh, is that the best you can do? ATOMIC SUCKER PUNCH!"
*SMACK!*

	"AAH! You're going to pay for that!" P.S.K. said, picking
up a two by four and- *WHACK* -breaking it over their head.

	<So, any progress on that disguse magic?> Atomic Starlight
Knight asked calmly.

	"Shut up!" P.S.K. said, hitting themselves as hard as they
could with their fists.

	*WHAMWHAMWHAM!*

	<Yes, but it'll be well in due in an hour.>

	"Quiet! Stop usurping my controls!" P.S.K. said, trying to
strangle themselves with their right arm.

	"URK-Never. I will never submit!" A.S.K. said, gaining
control of the left arm, pulling the right arm away from their
throat.

	<So, who's for tea?>

	<But I want to blow something up!>

	"SHUT UP, SHUT UP, EVERYONE JUST SHUT UP!!!!!" P.S.K.
yelled, picking up a big rock and- *CRUSH!* - crushing it on 
their head.

	"Um, what are you doing?" A man asked, walking by.

	"WINNING!!"

	"No, I'm winning!"

	"NO, I AM!!!"

	The man blinked, shrugged, and continued on his way.

	"STOP IT! YOU'RE SCARING THE CHILDREN!"

	"No I'm not."

	"WAIT... I SENSE A WEAKNESS!"

	<AHA! I CAN DEFEAT YOU FROM THE *INSIDE* OF THE MIND!!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!>

	"Guess again." A.S.K. said.

	"What?!" P.S.K. said.

	<You just don't learn, do you? PINK SUGAR BRAIN HEMORRAGE!!>

	*BORT!*

	<Huh?!>

	<YOUR MIND IS NO MATCH FOR MINE, PANSY!!> P.S.K. thought.

	<What did you just call me?>

	<I JUST CALLED YOU A LITTLE WEAKLING *PANSY*!!>

	<Grrrrrr. I'll show you *pansy*.>

	<Uh oh. You shouldn't have done that.>

	<DONE WHAT, YOU PIDDLING SYCOPHANT!?!>

	<Do we have a transformation sequence on file?>

	<WHAT?! NO, YOU FOOL!! YOU WOULDN'T->

	<Sure do. And, yes, I would.>

	"Stylin' Fashion Power, Make-up!" A.S.K. said vacuously.

	<NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!> 

---

	Sailor Moon was still doing her dodge and panic routine when
she was finally hit by an attack.

	"MFFF!" Sailor Moon said, encased in a huge tennis ball.

	"Gotcha!" The youma said.

	There was a red flash and a rose imbedded itself in the
concrete.

	"Believe in yourself, and you can do anything!" Tuxedo Mask
said.

	"MFFDUFFDUF!" Sailor Moon said from inside the tennis ball.

	"I see." Tuxedo Mask said. He then whipped out his handy-
dandy cane and whacked the youma. The tennis ball dissolved.

	"Thank you Starl- Tuxedo Mask?!" Sailor Moon said in
surprise.

	"You're welcome!" Tuxedo Mask said, glancing around for
Sailor Earth. The youma began to recover.

	"Hey! That was a cheap shot!" The youma said.

	"Stylin' Pink Bows, Wrap!" A cutesy voice called out.

	Pink bows came and neatly wrapped the youma. It fell over
with a thunk.

	"I'm the cute and fluffy Oneshot Senshi Sailor Stylin'! I
fight for Beauty and Fashion! And on behalf of models everywhere,
I'll punish you!" A girl said, posing cutely.

	"Ergh! Vomit... bag..." The youma said, not being able to
tolerate the appearance of the new Scout. It started to slowly
break out out of the bows.

	"May as well finish the job..." Tuxedo Mask said.

	"Moon Tiara Magic!" Sailor Moon said. Poof. Youma dust.

	"Mars Fire, IG- Oh, you're done." Sailor Mars said, rushing
in with Sailors Earth and Mercury. Sailor Stylin' took a bow
and left mysteriously.

	"Who was that?" Sailor Mercury asked.

	"I don't know. 'Sailor Stylin' or something," Sailor Moon
said. "Maybe we'll see her again."

	Luckily, they never do.

	<MAKE IT STOP!!> Posessed Starlight Knight thought.

	<Not until I recite the entire scripts for Barney and
Friends three more times!> A.S.K. thought defiantly.

	<NO!!!>

	<Come on! Just let the poor thing die!> A.S.K. thought,
opening a mental exit.

	"AAAAHHH!" The youma that was doing the posession said as
it left A.S.K., disappearing.

	<Aw, and I was going to mentally review every "My Little
Pony' episode ever made, too.>

	<That was... far too cruel for words.> A.S.K. thought,
shuddering.

	<Yeah, it was, wasn't it?> A.S.K. thought smugly.

	<Alright, status report!>

	<We just got the temporal barriers fixed. Sailor Pluto
shouldn't be out to kill me anymore.>

	<That's wonderful! But... how much longer do I have to stay
like this?> A.S.K. thought, looking down at the horrible cuteness
that had been used to scare out the youma.

	<Och, laddie! We just got the problem fixed!>

	"FINALLY!" Atomic Starlight Knight said joyfully, returning
to his old self and familiar green armor.

	<I think we'd better just forget messing around with that
particular energy for now. Just stick with invisibility, and
I'll be okay from now on.>

	A general agreement was heard throughout A.S.K.'s head,
before it started replaying the old themes from that Disaster
Area concert he held on Mercury some time back. The extra internal
noise reminded A.S.K. exactly how much his head hurt from the
continual banging around today.

	*Groan*

***

	The youma teleported to the Negaverse, right in front of
Nephrite. Recognizing the youma that he had called for the first
posession, he knelt down and looked it in the eye.

	"What happened?" Nephrite asked.

	"Oh, kiptin! It vas terrible!" The youma said before
collapsing into sobs.

	"Well, Neflyte, it seems that your plans have flaws in them
as well." Queen Beryl said.

***

	Suddenly, the massive headaches that Sailor Pluto had been
afflicted with vanished.

	"YES!" Sailor Pluto said, hugging the nearest person.

	*GLOMP*

	"Um..." The pigtailed youth began uneasily.

	"I feel great! The headaches are gone and-" Sailor Pluto
began happily, not noticing another girl getting angry.

	*WHAM*

	Soon, she found herself sailing over the horizon.

	That was when she realized that through this entire trip,
she had been going after the wrong person for the wrong reasons.

	<What's done is done, and the timeline cannot be repaired
from such damage, and he personally is not responsible,> Sailor
Pluto thought, <But if he thinks he can just get away with having
me permanently engaged to that guy, he's got another thing coming!>

---

	"Ah, the wonders of frozen liquid!" Atomic Starlight Knight
said, holding an icepack to his head.

	<Now, everyone, quiet!>

	For once, his mind was calm, in a nice, soothing repair
state.

	At least, until he felt a familiar presence-

	*WHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAMWHAM*

	-then several whacks to his ailing head.

	"BAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKABAKA!!!!!!!!!" Sailor Pluto
said, banging the Time Staff against A.S.K. She then disappeared
mysteriously.

	<What... was... that?>

	<Can't think... drain... bamage.....>

	<Tell... me!>

	<I... sent her to... that one dojo in Nerima.>

	<Starlight... no... baka...>

	*Thunk* Atomic Starlight Knight collapsed on the ground.

&&&[End Chapter 6.]

How was that?

Anything I need to fix?

Recommendations for future chapters?

Clever ways for A.S.K. to get damaged? (Some have said he's a tad too
powerful...)
