Flashman: NO!!!

Daimahoh: Oh come on... please?

Flashman: NO! (Sees reader) Oh, hi.  Flashman here.  Sorry about this 
but the OTHER part of my personality is trying to gain some attention 
and.....

Daimahoh: That's right!  I am DAIMAHOH!  I am the part of Flashman he 
tries to ignore but he has to let me out sometime. (Evil grin) I am 
the perverted part of him that LIKES Lemons and Dark Fics.  
Especially, "Secrets Best Kept" the SM version of "Bitter End".

Flashman:(hits Daimahoh with @bap stick) Never interupt me again!!!!  
Mostly this is just a way for me to do my own version of rattings and 
still keep the name of Flashman decent.  If you see that this is a 
fic done by Flashman, then it's usually okay for just about everybody.


Daimahoh: However, if it's done by Daimahoh, then that usually means 
that it will contain ALOT of mature themes and might have a sad 
ending.

(Tybalt walks in with a Partical Blaster)

Flashman: Uh oh.  Now that we have that cleared up, let's get on to 
chap 21 of TRIO.

				 TRIO:
			  WHISPERS OF THE PAST
				 Part 3:
			     THE TEMP TRIO?

	Ryu and Magneto faced off in the oil field.  The two fighters 
prepared for battle.  Ryu adjusted 
his gloves as Magneto flared his battle shield and growled, "Play 
time is ended."

	Then, a voice from out of nowhere declared, "FIGHT!"

	Ryu rushed at Magneto with a barrage of punches but Magneto 
levitated into the air.  Ryu 
jumped into the air after him and cried, "HADOKEN!"

	The fireball which formed out of Ryu's palms slammed into Magnetos 
shield and the Master of 
Magnetism was stunned.  Ryu landed on his feet, his fist by his side, 
and he followed up with, 
"SHORYUKEN!"

	The dragon punch headed for Magnetos head but the villain moved at 
the last second and it 
only grazed the side of his purple helmet.  Magneto shot an EM 
Disrupter at Ryu and the martial artist 
master was hit down to the ground.  He rolled as Magneto tried to hit 
him again and all of a sudden, 
Charlie jumped out of nowhere and hit Magneto with a flying side kick.
  Magneto stumbled back from the 
surprise attack and M. Bison jumped into the fray and attempted to do 
the same maneuver Charlie had 
done.

	Charlie however, had anticipated this and avoided the attack.  The 
two traded an intense 
flurry of punches and kicks, which ended when Bison grabbed Charlie 
and threw him to the ground.  
Bison powered up a Pshyco Crusher but Charlie leaped over it at the 
last second.  Ryu jumped back into 
the fight and struck Bison in his grinning face.  The Lord of 
Shadowloo stumbled back and was hit by a 
Hurricane Kick, followed up by a Shoruyken which hit full force and 
sent the master villain down and 
out.

	The fight wasn't over as the oil field burst into flame, showing the 
extent of Magnetos rage as 
he reentered the battle.  Ryu found himself getting clobbered and 
jumped away from the mad mutant's 
insane attack.  Charlie stood side by side with Ryu and the two 
powered up their super attacks.

	"SUPER HADOKEN!!!"
	"SONIC BLAZE!!!"

	The blue beam and the flurry of Sonic Booms hit Magneto and send him 
into dreamland.  The 
same voice that had started the fight said, "RYU, CHARILE WINS!!!"
_______________________________

	"RATS," Gohan exclaimed as he slammed his hand down on the councle 
of the "X-Men VS 
Street Fighter" game he and Ranma were playing.

	Ranma had a smirk on his face as he said, "That's four in a row.  If 
you're trying to lure me 
into a false sense of security, you're on the right track."

	Gohan grinned and replied, "How about one more rou...."

	Gohan stopped as he saw a news report on a TV near the entrance of 
the arcade.  His grin 
faded to be replaced by a look of determination.  "What's wrong?" 
Ranma asked.

	"Trouble," Gohan replied.

	The reporter on the screen was saying, "While there are no exact 
details, there seems to be 
some kind of battle being waged between the member of the Trio know 
as Sailor Moon and some kind of 
insect like creatures.  The fight was discovered by our cameras as 
they were doing a story on rent 
control.  While the young heroine seems to be putting up a 
respectable front, it is unclear if she can win 
on her own."

	Gohan started to leave but stopped when he looked back over his 
shoulder and saw Ranma 
looking as if he was going to have a heart attack.  Ranma felt as if 
he was split in two.  One half saying 
go, the other constantly bringing up the emotional horror of Woe 
Bringer.  Another part of him noticed 
the irony in the fact that the creature had lived up to its name.  
"Ranma," Gohan said in understanding 
and lowered his voice so only Ranma could hear him, "stay here.  I 
can handle a few Scarab Demons."

	"T..Thanks Gohan."

	"No problem."

	Gohan headed out the door, leaving Ranma to silently curse himself 
for his inability to act.

	A few minutes earlier....

	Usagi reached her destination and looked around.  She was all alone. 
 "This is Thirty Second 
and Main," she thought, "then where's..."

	Suddenly, the <tikk, tikk, tikk> sound of Scarab Demons made her 
turn and she found herself 
face to face with a half dozen of the insectoid grunts.  "Where's 
Ranma?!" she shouted, not really 
expecting an answer.

	She got one anyway, as the lead Scarab said, "<Tikk, tikk, tikk> No 
Ranma here.  <Tikk, tikk, 
tikk> Just a Sailor Sucker."

	"A trap," Usagi thought dowerly before crying, "MOON CRYSTAL POWER! 
MAKE UP!"

	In a flash of magic light, Sailor Moon prepared for battle.  "I am 
the Sailor of Love and Justice! 
 Sailor Moon!  You better take me seriously or you won't be around to 
regret it.  In the name of the 
moon... I'll punish you!"

	Wasting no words the Scarabs charged.  Sailor Moon ducked a swinging 
blow from one 
Scarab and before she had time to even think about it, she found 
herself delivering a forward snap kick 
to the Demons face as she came back to a vertical position.  "Hey," 
she thought to herself, "this stuff 
really works."

	Another Scarab swung one of its pincers in a downward swing.  Sailor 
Moon jumped over it 
and landed on the creatures head.  Using the head for a springboard, 
she leaped up and stuck out her 
foot as she came down.  "SAILOR MOON KICK," she cried as her extended 
leg hit a third Scarab in the 
stomach.

	That particular beast went flying back, slammed into two more of the 
Demons and sent all 
three of them sprawling.  The last remining Scarab attempted several 
swipes but Sailor Moon leaped 
back and in mid air removed her tiara.  She said on the way down, 
"This was a good workout but it's 
time for you to go.  MOON TIARA ACTION!!!"

	The tiara turned into its discus mode and slashed down through all 
six Scarab Demons.  She 
landed on the ground and as the monsters turned to dust, she caught 
the tiara on its return and placed it 
back on her forehead.  A voice to her left said, "Not bad.  Not too 
bad at all."

	Sailor Moon whirled and faced what appeared to be Gohan, waiting in 
the shadows.  She 
asked, "Who are you?  I mean, who are you really?"

	With a hissing laugh, "Gohan" transformed back into Camele.  "Hello 
Bright Eyessss.  Guesss 
who'sss back!"

	Sailor Moon gulped nervously and prepared to defend herself.

	Meanwhile....

	Great Sayaman was jetting through the air to where the news report 
had said that his friend 
was.  He didn't get very far before something was thrown at him.  He 
caught the offending object and 
saw that it was some kind of pouch containing a golden dust.  He 
looked at it for a second before 
comprehension filled him.  "This looks like..." was all he had time 
to think before a blue bolt of energy 
ignited it.

	The explosion knocked him backwards and Sayaman looked down to see 
Magico standing on 
a rooftop, giggling with glee.  "I don't know how you came back," 
Sayaman called down as he rushed 
towards the rooftop in question, "but this time I'm ready for you!"

	As Sayaman landed, another familiar voice said, "Perhaps you're 
ready for him..." Snatcher 
stepped out of the shadows, "...but what about me?"

	Sayaman was at a loss for words.  "Where did HE come from," the hero 
thought, "Come to 
think of it, where did BOTH of them come from?"

	Aloud he said to Snatcher, "Last time I saw you buddy, you lost your 
head.  And you," he said 
to Magico, "developed a splitting head ache."

	"Last time," Magico replied bitterly, "you were the one who had help.
  Let's see what happens 
when the odds are reversed."

	Sayaman answered, "Any time you're ready."

	Snatcher and Magico charged.

	Elsewhere....

	Ami sat watching the news in her hotel room and she didn't like what 
she saw.  "Though she 
has defeated the beetle creatures," the news anchor said, "Sailor 
Moon now seems to be fighting a 
shape shifter of some kind.

	"In a related story.  Another member of the Trio named Great Sayaman 
is now caught in battle 
with two mysterious beings and will not be able to lend aid to his 
team mate."

	Seeing this, Ami decided, "Setsuna said I couldn't tell Usagi 
anything about her past.  She 
never said I couldn't lend a hand if she needed it."

	With that, she removed her transformation stick from her pocket and 
raised it to the sky as she 
yelled, "MERCURY STAR POWER!  MAKE UP!"

	With a splash of blue light, Ami became Sailor Mercury.  She thought 
of something and quickly 
wrote something down on a piece of paper.  Then, opening her window, 
leaped out into the night.

	Back to Sailor Moon....

	Camele grinned maliciously and slowly stomped towards Sailor Moon.  
While her fear was less 
then the last time they had met, Sailor Moon still backed off 
slightly.  She knew that taking Camele head 
on was a bad idea.  "Who knows what she can change into," Sailor Moon 
thought, "I'm no match for her 
in physical combat.  I have to think of some other way."

	Quickly, she pulled out her Moon Scepter and cried, "MOON PRINCESS 
HALATION!"

	The blast of energy headed for Camele but the Genetik was faster 
then she looked and jumped 
over both the shot and Sailor Moon.  Camele turned into a giant snake 
and leaped forward.  She 
reached Sailor Moon and wrapped the Senshi in her coils.  Sailor Moon 
was unprepared for the 
unorthodoxed attack and yelped in pain as Camele started to squeeze, 
making her drop her scepter in 
the process.  "Thisss," Camele hissed, "isss what isss called a 
ssssqueeze play."

	She wasn't throught yet though as Camele continued her pun tirade 
and tightened her grip, "I 
guesssss you could sssay the presssure isss on, isssn't it."

	"Let go of me," Sailor Moon gasped.

	"Don't ssssay that.  We're just getting to know each other and I 
alwaysss like to start a 
relationssship with a niccce firm hug."

	"Sorry..." Sailor Moon felt herself losing consciousness, "you're... 
not... my... type."

	"SHABON... SPRAY!!!"

	A hail of bubbles shot out of nowhere and spread over the area, 
becoming a thick mist.  
Surprised by the sudden blinding fog, Camele released her hold on 
Sailor Moon out of pure reflex.  She 
transformed back to her natural state and looked around, trying to 
find the source.  "What'ssss going 
on," she shrieked, "Who hassss done thisss?!!"

	"I did," a figure in the fog said.

	Camele turned and snarled at the new arrival but was unable to do 
anything more as said 
arrival pointed her arms at Camele and cried, "SHINE AQUA 
ILLUSION!!!"

	The pure torrent of water that slammed into Camele sent the creature 
into the wall of a nearby 
building and she collapsed to the ground.  Sailor Moon stood and 
winced at the pain in her chest.  
Indicating that several of her ribs were either cracked or maybe even 
broken.  She licked her lips and 
managed to say, "Who..."

	"I," the figure replied as the fog she had created cleared, "am a 
fellow Sailor Senshi.  My 
name is Sailor Mercury.  I've come to help."

	Mercury was unable to hold herself back anymore and she flung 
herself at her friend and 
hugged her as Sailor Moon looked down in surprise.  "I'm so glad 
you're alive," Mercury sobbed, "I 
thought that you were gone forever and...."

	This was the point that Mercury's common sense took over again and 
she stepped back.  "I'm 
sorry," she said to the shock still Sailor Moon, "I should have know 
better then that.  You probably think 
I'm some kind of weirdo."

	"Ummm..." Sailor Moon brilliantly replied, "if you say so."

	"Come on," Sailor Mercury said, "Your friend Great Sayaman could use 
some assistance.  
According to the news, he is being assaulted on multiple fronts."

	"Huh?"

	"I said he's being attacked by more then one opponent and we should 
go help."

	"Oh."

	Camele slowly rose to her feet and hissed, "Sssstop.  Thisss isssn't 
over jussst yet!"

	"Yes it is," Sailor Moon replied as she picked up her scepter and 
cried, "MOON PRINCESS 
HALATION!!!"

	This time the attack hit dead on and Camele dissolved into a puddle 
of rapidly evaporating 
goo.

	Back to Sayaman....

	Snatcher and Sayaman traded punches at a rapid pace.  They continued 
to do so until 
Sayaman landed a hay maker that sent Snatcher back several feet.  
Magico appeared above him and 
dropped two small cloths on the ground.  They both grew to about six 
feet in height and when they blew 
away, they revealed two women in battle armor that was barely decent 
and seemed to show more skin 
then it covered.  The armors and the women were identical with the 
exception that the one on the left 
had white colored armor and the one on the right was wearing grey.  
The women both had the same 
features of high cheekbones, cold blue eyes, long straight black hair 
and big pouty lips that gave a 
certain falseness to their beauty.  Each of them also carried large 
broad swords that they held in a way 
that suggested that they knew how to use them.  Magico said, "Meet my 
assistance."

	He indicated the one in white, "Bunny," then the one in grey, "and 
Dove."

	With no further words, the twin magical assistance charged and 
commenced to swipe at 
Sayaman with their blades.  Sayaman continued to dodge until a knee 
to the back painfully reminded him 
that Snatcher wasn't out of the fight yet.  Sayaman ducked, dodged, 
punched, counter punched, kicked 
and generally did whatever he could to fend off the attacking trio.  
He flew up into the air and shot a ki 
ball down at them.  The ball exploded in between the three of them 
and sent all of them flying.  Magico 
appeared in front of him again and before Sayaman could act, began to 
swing his watch back and forth. 
 Sayaman was once again drawn into its hypnotic power and found 
himself utterly powerless.  Snatcher 
pulled out a bazooka from one of his compartments and fired the 
missile at the stunned hero.  Sayaman 
felt the full impact of the shot, which was more powerful then a 
normal missile shot, and was sent flying 
into a near by chimney.  Sayaman sat up, shook out his head and 
thought, "It's not that they're that 
strong.  There are just too many of them."

	"Could you use some help Sayaman?" The voice of Sailor Moon rang 
loud and clear over the 
roof top.

	The four villains turned towards her and did a double take as they 
saw Sailor Mercury besides 
her.  "Who the hell is that?!!" Snatcher roared.

	"This," Sailor Moon indicated her companion, "is Sailor Mercury."

	"Not another one," Magico groaned.

	"Haven't you heard," Snatcher quipped, "Too many Senshi spoil the 
broth."

	"I thought that was 'cooks'," Magico said as he scratched his head.

	Snatcher slugged Magico.

	"I remember you," Mercury said to Snatcher, "You are partly to blame 
for this whole mess."

	Snatcher replied sarcastically, "I'm sooo sorry... NOT!"

	"SHABON SPRAY!!!"

	The bubbles spread out once again and once again the area was 
covered in mist.  The four 
villains looked around in confusion.  Using the confusion to her 
maximum advantage, Sailor Mercury 
fired her Shine Aqua Illusion at Dove and after the shot hit, Dove 
transformed back into her namesake.  
Sailor Moon followed suit with a burst of Moon Princess Halation, 
turning Bunny back to her namesake 
as well.  Sayaman burst out of the rubble he had been sitting in and 
delivered a punch to Magicos 
stomach with such force that the magician was banished back to the 
shadows he had been created 
from.  Sailor Moon remover her tiara and changed it to its discus 
mode as she yelled, "Hey Snatcher!  
Stay in pieces this time!  MOON TIARA ACTION!!!"

	The tiara sliced through the air and lopped off the robots arms.  
Then it's legs and finally its 
head.  Snatcher fell to the ground in pieces and before he lost all 
power he muttered, "Curses.  Foiled 
again."

	After it was all over, Sailor Moon turned to talk to Sailor Mercury 
but found that she had 
vanished.  "Rats," she grumbled in frustration.

	"I know," Sayaman said in reply, "just when we think we might be 
getting close to an answer, 
something comes along and changes the question."

	Then he noticed something and said, "At least she was considerate 
enough to leave a note."

	Sailor Moon picked up the note and read.

<Dear Sailor Moon,

I have heard that you are short a member due to uncontrollable 
circumstances.  To show that I am a 
friend, I will fill in this position until the time I have to return 
home.

To contact me, reach into your subspace pocket and pull out your 
communicator.  Then press the button 
that has this symbol...>

	The symbol of Mercury was draw on the paper.

<Until the time you call,
Your friend,
Sailor Mercury>
