I hate teasers yet I'm posting one. How hypocritical. This title will likely 
be changed so don't expect it to be the same when the story is finished. 

BTW, This is the last time you'll see my disclaimer in this series.

Bankrobbing Soldiers
Episode 7: Desperately Seeking Luna and Artemis
By C-Dogg

<A filler episode. It does however pertain to he story line. Ami goes to 
Seattle looking for the cats. This is now the shortest story in this series. >

{Almost} All characters, names, likeness, indicia, images, songs, etc. that 
aren't mine are (TM) and/or (C) Toei, Kodansha, Naoko Takeuchi, Microsoft, 
and all other owners, distributors, business partners, etc. No ownership is 
implied and no infringement is intended. I have asked no permission to use 
them and none has been granted. Suing me will not help your company. Imagine 
this. Headlines all over the world will read: Major Companies sue fourteen 
year old boy for artistic genius. Magazines across the world will inform 
their readers. Televised news programs are broadcasting the story. 
Shareholders will sell their stock and people will stop buying games with 
your companies' name on it. The companies will fail and many will lose their 
jobs. So ask yourselves, "Is it worth all that sue someone, who isn't making 
a profit in any way off of this story, for using characters {names, likeness, 
indicia, images, songs, etc.} that he claimed no ownership to and gave full 
credit to the rightful and respectful owners?" Is it? Huh? I didn't think so. 
The plot belongs to me.

My comments are in {}.

Inspired by two polls in the newsgroup alt.fan.sailor-moon, a picture I once 
downloaded, and a movie.

   The customer creeping through the aisle was now directly behind Ami. She 
heard him turn around. Ami peeked at him through the corner of her eye. The 
young man reached down and grabbed her behind with both hands. Ami gasped and 
turned around.
   The young man covered his face with his hands to protect himself and cover 
his nosebleed. "Please don't hurt me!" he pleaded. "My friends dared me to do 
it!" He pointed out the door to his friends. The other two boys promptly 
turned around and started whistling.
   "I won't hurt you," Ami reassured him.
   The boy dropped his hands. "Really?"
   "No!" Ami pulled back her fist and decked the boy. A loud crack could be 
heard as her fist made contact with his face. The boy fell back, toppling 
bookshelves like dominoes. The boy now had a new reason for his nose to 
bleed. She then turned toward his friends.
   In her rage, Ami transformed into Sailor Mercury. She put her hands 
together and concentrated her energy to shoot a large stream of ice at the 
boys. The ice stream completely froze the two in a large block of ice.
   All of the noise woke the clerk up. She looked around. "I'm not cleaning 
this mess up," she remarked. "I quit." With that she walked out the store.
   "I've created enough of a mess here," Soldier Mercury said. She used the 
matter transporter and opened up a portal to Seattle. "I hope Luna and 
Artemis are okay."

Microsoft HQ Ruins, Seattle

   The scene was not a pretty one. Piles of cement lay crumpled on the 
ground. Rescue workers had not yet begun to search for survivors for fear of 
more bombs. Frankly, they didn't expect any. Bomb sniffing dogs were brought 
in to aid in the search. A crowd was beginning to gather many of who were 
crying. Paramedics were taking care of the injured that could immediately be 
reached. The area of destruction was completely soaked with water.
   A black portal appeared and Ami stepped through. She looked around at the 
scene with pride. "Who knew a couple of grenades could cause so much damage?"
   "It's one of them!" an officer yelled, pointing in Ami's direction.
   "Uh oh." Ami ducked behind a pile of rubble and transformed. Bullets 
whizzed over her head as she pulled out one of the M-17 rifles and loaded it.
   The blue-haired girl popped up and started shooting. Many officers along 
with a few civilians fell victim to the spray of bullets. Others ducked. 
Soldier Mercury crouched and moved along the cover of the rubble. All five 
dogs were let loose on her. Mercury heard their barking and instinctively 
ran. She climbed atop a large boulder; her back turned to he officers. When 
the dogs got stuck at the boulder's base, Mercury pulled out a shotgun and 
blasted the dogs. She caught a bullet in the left shoulder. Mercury let out a 
yelp of pain. She fell off of the boulder clutching her bleeding shoulder. 
Behind the cover of the boulder, Mercury put her hands on the ground.
   "Mercury Hell Freeze Over!" Her hands emitted a soft blue glow and a sheet 
of ice began to form around her hands....

That's all for now.
