The Pocket Dimension Theatre
Ash, Miyuki, and Mason enter the theatre and take their seats.
                                                                 Ash: Hi and welcome to the pocket dimension theatre.             
Miyuki: Mason and I have a fight coming up, so let's get started.

>1 - Dragon
Miyuki: -That's- a title!?
Ash: Miyuki, 
>***

>When describing Usagi Tsukino, otherwise known as Sailor Moon, several
words
>came to her friends' and loved ones' minds.  Crybaby was one of those
words.
>Weak, lazy, and stupid were often used as well.  Of course, those were often
>followed by words such as sweet, compassionate, loving, and (sometimes)
>strong-willed.  One word that was never used, mind you, was regal.
All: nod in agreement.
>It was this more than anything else that made it easy for her daughter to
>treat Sailor Moon as a completely different person than Neo-Queen Serenity
>was.  The later was the absolute image of a queen; in every step she took,
>every move of her hands, and every word she spoke.  The former was
nothing
>more than a rather silly teenaged girl who despite the fact she fought
>minions of evil on a regular basis, always seemed to be exactly the same
>person.
Mason: so that's why Chibi-usa is such a brat.
>The other Inner Senshi often wondered what happened to Usagi to turn her
                    
>from the flighty girl she was into the queen she became.  If they had known
>the truth, they probably would have been shocked.  What made Usagi finally
>accept her future was a fear so great, so debilitating, Mamoru sometimes
>spent hours trying to help Usagi deal with it.
Ash: This is different.
Miyuki: Why?
Ash: I tend follow the thinking that Usagi never really bothers to deal with
reality passing it off
as something that gets in her way.
>Usagi had seen her friends, or even people who weren't her friends, die for
>her sake once,
Mason: That must have been some sake.

Miyuki: Mason no Baka!
Mason: (Rock garden)
> and since then almost die many times since.  She was deathly
>afraid that her friends would die, and she wouldn't be able to bring them
>back.  The scenario had played itself out so many times before - they would
>defeat the lesser minions of an enemy, and then when the final confrontation
>was at hand, her friends would almost die, just to give Princess Serenity
>her chance to defeat their enemies.  Not Usagi.  Not Sailor Moon.  Princess
>Serenity.
Ash: This is getting scary.
Miyuki: because Usagi is thinking of herself as three people?
Ash: Yes.
Miyuki: You're right, that is scary (small frightened voice) mommy!
>Their last great battle against Pharaoh 90 had finally convinced Usagi that
>it would just be easier to be Serenity all the time, so she could protect
>the friends who had protected her for so long.  So they wouldn't have to
>risk their lives so much to save her.

>They had scared their little princess to death, and were going to get their
>reward for what they had wrought.
Mason: reward? (Blinks) you're right. This is bad.
>Sailor Moon fumed while the Inner and Outer Senshi argued over whose job
it
>was to defeat this latest menace.  It had been some sort of dragon-like
>creature that they hadn't even destroyed, just driven off.
Ash: This must be before the 'S' movie.
Miyuki: How did come to that conclusion?
Ash: No mention of it being cold, or anything about the weather. This is the
Shieldsman continuity.
Miyuki: I see what you mean.
>"You four couldn't fight your way out of a wet paper bag!" Uranus yelled at
>Mars.

>"Is that so?" Mars returned.  "Well we seem to do a hell of a lot better
>than you!"
Mason: I see that yet another cat fight is about to commence.
Miyuki: -don't-even-say-it-
>"What's that supposed to mean?"

>Venus jumped into the argument.  "What do you think it means, Miss 'The
End
>Justifies the Means?'  Maybe it's time you figured out that your way of
>doing things DOESN'T WORK!"
Ash: LOL. Point to Mina-chan.
>***

>On the top of a nearby building, Tuxedo Kamen watched the argument
escalate,
>and with it, Sailor Moon's anger.  "Oh boy, are they in trouble."
Ash: (to M&M) Popcorn?
Mason: Sure!
>"Very true," Pluto agreed beside him.  Tuxedo Kamen started a little in
>shock then shook his head ruefully.

>"I wish you would stop doing that," he said in a pained voice.  "I almost
>put a rose through your heart."
Miyuki: (pop spouts out her nose) hack kak LOL.
>"Shh," Pluto hushed him.  "The best part is coming up."  The pair returned
>their attention to the argument.
All: Nod in agreement.
>***
                                                  
          
>Uranus almost growled in anger.  "Why you little..." She trailed off as
>Neptune placed her hand on Uranus' shoulder.
Mason: (arches eyebrow; this is quite a sight seeing that his eyebrows are 
three inches wide, one inch tall, and composed entirely of stone.)
>"It is a threat from outside the Solar System, and that means that it is
>our," she used her hand to indicate herself, Uranus, and Saturn,
>"responsibility to combat it."
Voice that suspiciously like the 'Lost in Space' Robot: WARNING!
GLARING CONTINUITY ERROR! WARNING! GLARING CONTINUITY
ERROR!
Ash: ^^; alright, come out we know you're there.
(The owner of the voice is revealed to be the lost in space robot, who looks
rather sheepish)
Robot: Is there a problem, sir?
Ash: (thinks for a moment) No.
>"That is ENOUGH!"  The arguing Senshi turned in shock to see Sailor
>Moon's flushed angry face.  "I am SICK and TIRED of you two going on
>about how the
>great and mighty Outer Senshi must handle everything alone!"  She walked
>forward, interposing herself between the Inners and the Outers, and looked
>Uranus in the eyes.  She put her hand to her chest and fairly ripped her
>broach away.  "Do you know what this is?  Do you know what it means?"
>she demanded, shoving the broach into Uranus' face.
Mason: That's gonna leave a mark -and- a nasty burn to boot.
>"The Ginzuishou," Neptune replied as Uranus recoiled in fear.  "It means
>you're Princess Serenity."
Ash: Now you've done it, Uranus.
>"That's right!  It means that I'm the Princess, and that you're MY Senshi!
>You follow MY orders!"
Ash: now that was way too harsh for Usagi.
Mason: Why?
Ash: even though she may have some ego problems, she is not the type to
order people around. She's more likely to annoy someone into doing what she
wants.
>"How are you going to make us?" Uranus questioned with a bit of a sneer,
>which was wiped away as the Ginzuishou flared with light and Sailor Moon
>was transformed into Princess Serenity.
Robot: A fascinating metamorphosis.
>"A wielder of the Ginzuishou gave you your powers, Sailor Uranus," she said
>in that regal voice.  "A wielder of the Ginzuishou can take them away."

>Uranus gaped at the glowing princess in shock.  "You...you CAN'T!"
Robot: If data presented is correct, then Princess Serenity will be able to do as
she says.
>Just as suddenly as she had transformed into Serenity, she transformed back
>into Sailor Moon.  She staggered a bit, drained, but then grinned evilly at
>Uranus as her anger once again sent adrenaline running through her system.
>"Try me."  She gasped and whirled to Saturn.  "And you!  Don't you EVER
>become Sailor Saturn without me around!"
Robot: WARNING! WARNI-
Ash: Robot...
Robot: (dejected sounding voice) affirmative.
Mason: And lay off the Marvin Impression.
Marvin: Did someone call for me?
All: No!
Marvin: I see (hissing sound) That's the story of my life....(falls into
dimension door)
>***

>"You tell 'em, Usako," Tuxedo Kamen cheered softly from the roof, and then
>grimaced.  *Kaneda was really a bad influence on me, I have a sudden urge
>to get some popcorn.  This is far too much fun to watch.*
Ash: (munching on popcorn) you mean you haven't already ? For Shame.
>  He looked around the area, and groaned as he saw some people watching
>the exchange.  *I better warn them not to change back,* he thought, getting
>ready to jump off the roof.  He froze as he got a good look at one of the
>newcomers.

>It was a girl in her mid-late teens, with shoulder-length pink hair wearing
>a red summer dress.  Her face was one he remembered well - it was the same
>face that Black Lady had.  Three young men and another girl accompanied
>her.
>*Chibi-Usa?!*
Miyuki: (goes into momentary shock at the sight of Chibi-Usa) 
>***
(Snip Speech)

>"Actually, it's OUR job," the Senshi whirled to see the teenaged girl
>standing behind them with a smug grin on her face.  A teenaged girl with a
>most familiar face, and pink hair a color they had only seen on one other
>person...
Mason: You don't mean...
Miyuki: Who?
Mason: Mylene Jenius.
Everyone else: (facefaults)
>"CHIBI-USA-CHAN?!" the Inner Senshi and Saturn chorused.  Usagi
>grinned and nodded, then scowled and whirled on her companions, who
>were now starting to laugh.

>"Ch-ch-chibi," a handsome young man with spiky blue hair stammered
>though his laughter.  He doubled over and began to hold his stomach as the
>laughs wracked his body.  Beside him, a slender girl with a mane of spiky
>white hair giggled helplessly.

Ash, Mason: ROLOL.
Miyuki: How does someone stammer 'though' his laughter?
>"Chibi-Usa-chan," the shortest of the newcomers snickered.  His body
>shuddered with his suppressed laugher, and the hair of his large red mohawk
>shook in resonance. "I'll have to remember that one."
Ash: why does he suddenly remind me of Nabiki Tendo?
>The princess looked at her laughing friends with a dismayed look, then
>turned hopefully on the last one, a noble-looking man with a purple
>ponytail.  "You understand, don't you Yosho-kun?" she asked in a plaintive
>sort of voice.  "It wasn't my idea, they had to call me something..." she
>trailed of the young man walked up and put his hands on her shoulders and
>gave her a kind smile.
Miyuki: Here it comes...
>"I understand, and I would never make fun of you for it," he said seriously,
>then paused as a twinkle lit in his eye.  "Chibi-Usa-chan."  That was too
>much for his companions who completely lost all control over their laughter.
>The princess hung her head in defeat.
Miyuki: (giggles) why isn't there a sweatdrop?
(Snip)
>Sailor Mars watched the proceedings with suspicion.  As the girl made her
>greeting, she gasped upon noticing the girl's cat eyes.  "Monster!" she
>yelled for the other's benefit.  "BURNING..."
Miyuki: Nani!? (begins to glow with energy) How dare she...
Ash: Mason...
>The three young men seemed to explode into action.  Yosho's face screwed
>up in concentration, and dozens of little logs appeared in the air around
>Toraneko.  He pulled a hilt out of his belt, and an energy blade sprang into
>existence from the hilt.

>Akuma's black skinsuit was suddenly embossed with blue flames.  He held
>out his hands, and glowing blue balls formed in them.  Clenching his right
>hand, the ball reformed into a sword the he held in front of him, ready to fire
>the other energy ball as needed.

>Kesshu's computer visor appeared in front of his eyes, and a black panel
>appeared out of nowhere.  Punching a few keys, a hyperspatial hole appeared
>beside his hand, and dumped out a device that resembled a crossbow.  He
>grabbed it and pulled back the cable, and a red energy arrow appeared, ready
>to fire.

>But the most dramatic reaction came from Small Lady, who threw herself at
>Sailor Mars and knocked her hands down.  "NO!  She's my friend!"
Miyuki: (calming down a bit) That took too long. Some one with a HyperCom
suit would have nailed Kesshu before his hand could even move for the
crossbow.
Robot: Query; what is HyperCom?
Ash: here I'll show you.( Pulls back the right sleeve of his trench coat)
Rolling Thunder! ( a mini M-60 materializes on his right forearm.)
Robot: Fascinating.
>"She's not human," Mars growled.

>"None of them are," Sailor Mercury said, looking up from her computer.

Miyuki: That's it I've had it! (Shockwave hits Ash and Mason.)
Mason: (stands up and taps Miyuki on the back of the neck) Oh, no you don't.
(Miyuki passes out and Mason catches her, setting her back in her seat)
>"Not quite true," Kesshu corrected as he dumped his weapon in another hole.
>"Us guys are three-eighths human."  Kesshu got a thoughtful look on his face
>and began ticking items off on his fingers.  "Let's see, I'm also a half
>hyper-dimensional entity and an eighth Juraian."
(Snip Argument)
>Yosho rolled his eyes and banished his blade and force-shield.  His brothers
>followed suit.  "No, Mars-sama, we are not completely human.  That doesn't
>mean we are a threat to you or others."  He frowned slightly.  "Usagi-hime,
>where is your father?  We really should report in to him."
Ash: (arches eyebrow)
>"My father?" the girl wondered, and then her eyes widened.  "Oh no,
>Yosho-kun.  He's not Endymion YET."
Ash: Heh.
>Tuxedo Kamen leapt from the roof and landed beside Sailor Moon.  "You
>wish to speak with me?"  Yosho examined him with a suspicious look, and
>then nodded in satisfaction

>"Endymion-ou," he said respectfully, and bowed deeply.  Behind him,
>Kesshu followed suit.  Akuma sketched a quick mockery of a bow while
>Toraneko curtsied.  "You honor us with your presence."

>"I'd love to banter pleasantries," Mars interrupted, "but what are you doing
>here, Chibi-Usa?"  As the princess winced, Mars added defensively, "well
>we have to call you SOMETHING."

>"Call her Usako," Akuma called in.  He looked curiously at the
>now-blushing Tuxedo Kamen, Sailor Moon, and princess.  "What did I say?"
>he asked as the other Inner Senshi giggled.
Ash, Mason: LOL
>"Akuma-kun," 'Usako' began, "where did you come up with that name?"

>It was Akuma's turn to look sheepish as he placed a hand behind his head in
>embarrassment.  "I've been calling her that in my head for months," he
>admitted, and then quickly regained his composure as Yosho opened his
>mouth to begin another lecture.  "Stuff it, Yosho."
Ash: ROFL
>Kesshu frowned and summoned his hyperspatial computer.  "Uh guys?"

>"I think it's sweet," Sailor Venus chimed in from the group of Senshi.

>"No one asked you," Sailor Moon snapped as she tried to quell her red
>cheeks.

>"Guys?  I think there's-"
Mason: Why do I get the feeling that they should listen to him?
>"We're straying off the point," Mars reminded them.  "Usako," she couldn't
>resist a slight smirk at the name.  "Why are you here in this time?  And why
>did you bring friends?  To train?"
Mason: Yeah, right?
>"They're here to aid us with the creature you just fought," Sailor Pluto
>said, and several of the Senshi started at her sudden appearance.  "Its
>presence threatens the future they have come from."  She paused to frown at
>Sailor Uranus.  "You really should have known better than that, Uranus," she
>scolded.

>"HEY!  Is anyone gonna-"

>"What do you want, Kesshu?" Pluto asked peevishly.
Ash: LOL
>Kesshu banished his computer and calmly pointed into the sky.  "I just
>thought everyone would like to know it's on its way back."  All eyes went to
>where he pointed, where a small dot could be seen above the horizon,
>growing at an exponential rate.
Mason: Should've listened to him.
>"Right," Akuma said in a businesslike tone.  "Toraneko, go ship, now."  The
>cabbit-girl started and made to protest, but he overrode her.  "Don't argue.
>Do.  NOW!"
Miyuki: (waking up) huh?
>Toraneko threw back her head and a sound - part scream, part cry, part roar,
>and totally inhuman - tore from her throat.  She began to float off from the
>ground, and her body turned angular and crystal-like, and her legs and arms
>moved to form a four-pointed star, the tips forming a tetrahedron with three
>of the points in the sky.  Her body seemed to be iridescent with the colors
>of the rainbow.
Miyuki: (eyes wide open) yipe!
>As they watched, the object Toraneko had formed into grew in size, until it
>seemed to fill the sky above the Senshi.  At the center of the four points
>of the star, a sphere was nestled, the size of a small house.  The object
>shimmered, and finally became a greenish white.  Toraneko's voice echoed
>down to them.  "Now what?"

>Akuma turned to the Senshi.  "They get on, and you take them out of here."

>"WHAT?!" Jupiter screeched.  "We're not running from some overgrown
>lizard!"
Ash: Shades of Sailor Jupiter vs. Godzilla!
>"I agree," Saturn added.  "Flight will gain us nothing."  She shrank a
>little as Akuma stormed up to her.

"About ten minutes, ototou-chan," Kesshu returned, and smiled beatifically
into his brother's glare.
Robot: Query; What does ototou mean?
Ash: Beats me.
>"Why me?"  Yosho asked the heavens, then paused.  "Don't answer that.
>Ladies, we're trying to protect our future.  That means we have to keep ALL
>of you safe, not just Usako-hime's mother and father.  Some of you have
>children and/or husbands in the future," he explained, then paused and
>glanced over at Sailor Uranus. "Or a wife."  He yelped as Pluto walloped
>him with her staff, while Uranus looked VERY confused.

>"Stop revealing things," she chided.

Ash: That's why you're no fun at parties, Pluto.
>"Gomen nasai, Pluto-sama.  Harm coming to any of you may change the
>future, and we can't take that risk," he smirked.  "As I said, Akuma is a
>warrior in every way.  In matters of war, few are his equal.  If he wants you
>out of here, then it really is for the best that you go."

>"We can't just watch while you fight something that's trying to kill us!"
>Venus protested.

>"Why not?" Yosho countered.  "It's what we're here for."

>"We can fight as well!" Jupiter proclaimed, and several of the Senshi nodded
>agreement.
Miyuki: isn't that the train of thought that got Usagi to where she was at the
beginning of this story?
>They were surprised to see Yosho chuckling.  "Jupiter-sama, a thousand
>years from now, you will look back on that statement and regret it.  The
>simple fact is," all humor suddenly left his voice, "you will only be in the
>way."

>"Yosho!" The man whirled to look at his elder brother.  "Three minutes!"
>Yosho nodded assent and turned back to the Senshi with an apologetic look.
>"Gomen nasai," he said softly.  "Toraneko-hime!  Take them up!"  He
>shrugged his shoulders at the Senshi's angry faces as a beam from Toraneko
>surrounded them and they began to dematerialize.  "There comes a time
>when words must be set aside."    He looked up at the spaceship as it sped of
>into the sky, away from the approaching wyrm.  "Be safe, Tora-chan," he
>whispered.
(Yet another ship)

>"Chibi-Moon?" Yosho asked with a chuckle, then he looked a bit closely at
>the locket, and he gasped.  "The Ginzuishou!"

>Usako hesitantly took the new broach from Pluto, and gave her the older
>one. She smiled as words formed in her head, and she raised the locket high.
>"Moon Eternal Power, MAKE UP!"

>Brilliant light exploded from the Ginzuishou, and pink and white ribbons
>wrapped around Usako's body as her clothes were banished.  The ribbons
>tighten around her form, and began to melt together, becoming her uniform.
>First knee-high boots appeared around her feet, their color a red that
>matched Usako's eyes.  Next, long red gloves appeared around her hands and
>forearms, ending in a white bracelet that wrapped just below her elbow. 
 Ash: is that one or both elbows?
>A white fuku with a black collar and a pink skirt finally appeared around her
>torso, and the broach settled high on her chest in the midst of a small bow
>that resembled wings.  Finally, as the light around Usako began to fade, two
>great white wings like those of an angel burst from her back and beat the
>air once, and feathers swirled in the air.

>The three brothers watched the transformation in a mixture of amazement,
>joy
>and embarrassment.  Wordlessly, Yosho reached his hand up first to one ear,
>then the other, and removed his earrings.  Akuma pulled a ring off of his
>right pinky.  The two men exchanged a glance, and handed the items into
>Kesshu's waiting hand.

>"How did you know pink was her natural hair color anyway?" Akuma asked
>him in a whisper.

>"I'm good, what can I say?" Kesshu gleefully returned, then called over to
>Usako.  "Nice wings, Sailor Moon!"
Ash, Mason: LOL
>"Sailor Moon," the Senshi said, trying it out.  "I like that."  She frowned
>as she mentally reviewed the attacks available to her. "Moon Princess
>Temporal Halation?"  Moon asked Pluto incredulously.  "What kind of
>attack is that?"
Miyuki: come on, there has to be a better name than that.
>"You are sealing off Tiamat from this part of the timeline, Small Lady,"
>Pluto quickly said.  She looked up at the sky, and waved her staff, opening
>a time gate. "I must leave now.  Good luck, Sailor Moon!"  With that, she
>leapt into the time gate, which slammed shut behind her.
All: (clapping and cheering ensue)
>"Usako?" Akuma called from behind her.

>The lone Senshi turned and glared at the man.  "It's Sailor Moon,
>Akuma-kun."

>"Whatever," Akuma said dismissively as Moon and Yosho joined him and
>Kesshu.
>"Kesshu, your responsibility is data-gathering.  Get as much info on this
>thing as possible.  Yosho, protect Usa-er...Sailor Moon at all costs."
>Yosho and Kesshu nodded, and Yosho transformed into his Juraian battle
>gear
Mason: shouldn't he be able to call upon the light hawk wings?
Ash: Good question.
>while Kesshu summoned up his computer and another crossbow.

>Sailor Moon looked worried. "What are you going to do, Akuma-kun?"

>Akuma grinned and clenched his fist, and blue light exploded from the two
>crystals in his wrists, embossing his black skinsuit with dark blue flames.
>He formed an energy sword and jumped a little, floating a few feet off the
>ground.  "Someone has to draw it away from your parents so that we can
>fight it."  As he flew off towards the dragon, his final words floated down to
>her.  "And that's me!"

>***

>High in the air, a great green dragon with a long, sinuous body flew through
>the air.  Its huge wings, with a span that seemed to fill the sky, barely
>moved as the creature soared.  Suddenly it backstroked and slowed down;
>bringing up its long neck in a curled shape that might remind an observer of
>a question mark.
Robot: Query; the dragon present has been named Tiamat, correct?
Ash: Correct.
Robot: previous description of entity Tiamat does not match my records.
Ash: True. This may not be the real McCoy.
Dr. McCoy: Dammit Ash, I'm a Doctor, not a Cameo.
Ash: you are now.

>Its prey, the ones it had been sent to destroy...were running?

>The analytical portion of the dragon's mind processed this information as
>the dragon slowly flew forward, its wings beating faster now as it had to
>work more to keep itself aloft.  The prey was moving much faster than it
>should be able to, and was now unbelievably distant.  They were also inside
>a spaceship, the likes of which the prey just shouldn't have access to.

>Either its data was wrong, or someone was trying to interfere.
Ash: Hmmm...
Mason: what is it, Ash?
Ash: It appears that the dragon isn't the true threat after all.
>Further consideration was halted as a dark flash came up from the ground
>below, passing before the dragon and leaving a stinging pain across the its
>face.  It roared in pain and tried to get a bearing on the attacker, but the
>insect had already flitted away.  The dragon shook its head and began to
>chase after the prey.

>"Oh no you don't," Akuma said from below the dragon, and transformed his
>sword back into an energy sphere.  He began firing them at the dragon's
>belly, trying to make it focus on him.  He frowned as he realized the dragon
>was ignoring him.  "Time to get serious," he muttered, and began increasing
>the size and power of the blasts he was throwing.

>He sent another volley of spheres at the monster, and was gratified to see
>the dragon roar in pain and turn its angry gaze on him.  "That's right, look
>at me, not them.  I'm your problem."

>He never saw the dragon's tail whip around and slam into him, sending him
>flying at hypersonic speeds to the Earth below.
Mason: so -that's- why we always have a backup in a aerial fight.

>***

(Still yet another snip)

>"Akuma!" Sailor Moon cried, and beat her wings powerfully, hoping to catch
>him.  She was surprised to find Kesshu's hand gripping her arm almost
>painfully as he typed into his terminal.

>"Let me handle this, Sailor Moon," he said.  "You try and deal with that
>dragon."  He frowned a moment, then handed his energy crossbow to Yosho.
>"Here, this fires a net.  You'll be able to use it better than me."  With
>that, he released Sailor Moon and used both hands on the terminal, his hands
>almost blurring as he typed.

>"MOON ARROW STRIKE!"  Sailor Moon cried, and once again beat her
>wings powerfully.  This time as they snapped forward, hundreds of small
>arrow-like projectiles streaked from them towards the dragon that flew
>overhead.  As the attack met the dragon, it roared in pain and frustration and
>let out a burst of emerald fire at its attacker.
Miyuki: That wing attack is different.
>Sailor Moon barely had time to shriek as before the attack engulfed her, and
>then could only stare as the flame was deflected off an invisible barrier
>that surrounded her.  The flame dispersed, and she noticed the tiny logs
>floating in the air around her.

>"Nice move, Yosho," Kesshu said absently as he worked on his computer.
>"Come on, come on...yatta!"  Underneath the falling Akuma, a hyperspatial
>hole suddenly opened, and the young man fell into it, only to be spit out of
>another hole, this time going back up.

>"What on Earth are you doing?" Yosho demanded as he took careful aim
>with the crossbow.  He fired the weapon, and the red bolt streaked off into
>the sky.  Moments before it impacted the dragon, it exploded into a huge
>web of energy that wrapped around the dragon and sent it plummeting to the
>ground.
Ash (singing) ...does whatever a spider can...
Miyuki: ^^;
>"One second...one second," Kesshu delayed as he intently watched the data
>scroll across his visor.  "Three...two...one...NOW!"  High above, the
>unconscious Akuma had nearly reached the peak of his upward journey
>when another hole opened in the sky above him, which he flew into
>moments before
>he came to a standstill.  The hole closed, and another opened at Sailor
>Moon's feet, dumping him out.  "Fastest portals in the quadrant, thank you
>very much," Kesshu said smugly, blowing on his fingers.
Ash: So -that's- how you prevent hard landings with portals.
>***

>The Senshi made appreciative noises as Eternal Sailor Moon made her
>attack on the dragon.  The Senshi excluding the original Sailor Moon, who
>was busy examining the Ginzuishou.
Ash: uh oh!
"Now THAT," Mars said, "is an attack I like."
Mason: Heh.
>"I wonder if I can do that too," Sailor Moon hummed to herself, and then
>looked deeply into the crystal.  "Those wings are so beautiful."  Suddenly,
>as if sensing her desires, the Ginzuishou burst into brilliant light.
>Sailor Moon shrieked as the light bathed her and the other Senshi.

>Everyone whirled to stared at Sailor Moon, and then gasped as they were
>bathed in the warm glow coming from the crystal, blinding them.  Suddenly,
>wings burst from Sailor Moon's back, then Sailor Mars', and soon the all of
>the Senshi had wings like princess below.  The air of the ship was filled
>with swirling feathers.
Ash, M&M: Ahchooo!
Miyuki: Shouldn't read 'had wings like THE princess below' ?
>As the light faded, Tuxedo Kamen took one look at the Senshi and turned
>away, deciding that the view out of the ship was much safer than the one
>inside it.  It wasn't long before the others picked up on the reason for his
>action.

>They were all stark naked.
Miyuki: (covers Mason's eyes with her tail) you shouldn't see this, Mason.
Mason: Come on, I want to see! (Removes tail and sees nothing but feathers)
Shimatta!
>As seven pairs of eyes turned to glare at Sailor Moon, she blushed and
>looked sheepish.  "Oops! Gomen nasai, minna."
Ash: Heh.
>Sailor Mars stormed over to the blonde and bonked her on the head.  "You
>baka odango-atama!  What are you trying to do?"
Miyuki: (usagi voice) well, I came to the conclusion that our miniskirts were
unfashionable, so I....
>"Well," she sheepishly tried to explain, "I saw the wings she had and I
>thought we'd look so pretty if we had them too..." she trailed off and
>looked around.  "I didn't expect this, though."
Ash: I just thought of something. If what I've read is correct, then the senshi
are at their most powerful state right now.
>Mercury made a few beats with her wings and gasped as she rose off the
>ground.  "But...but it just shouldn't work!  The aerodynamics would be
>impossible."
Miyuki: Just try and tell that to Shigeo-kun. He'd spouting off about Heritage
technology so fast your head would spin.
>Uranus snorted.  "Nothing's impossible where Usagi's concerned."  She gave
>the other girls appraising looks.  "I think I like the new uniform, though,"
>she saaid, then grunted as Neptune elbowed her.
Miyuki: There's a new one.
Mason: What's that?
Miyuki: I don't think anyone's 'saaid' before.
>Venus reached up to touch her wings, then looked at the others.  "You're all
>so beautiful," she whispered.  "You look like angels."  She paused, then
>turned to Toraneko.  "Please tell me you have a mirror!"

>Toraneko blinked in surprise and made one of the walls reflective.  Soon the
>Senshi were gathered in front of the mirror admiring themselves.
Ash: Heh.
>"Mamo-chan," Sailor Moon said, sidling up the man.  "What do you think?"
Ash: heh heh.
>Tuxedo Kamen buried his face in his hands and groaned.  "Sailor Moon," he
>complained, "PLEASE change them back."  He turned and grabbed her by
>the shoulders, forcing himself not to look down at her nudity.  "We're
>married, remember?"
Mason: Huh? When did that happen?
>Sailor Moon giggled.  "But Mamo-chan," she whispered, "this would be such
>fun in bed..."
Ash: Yeah, what's going on here?
>***

>The three conscious members of the team watched the falling dragon slam
>into
>the ground several hundred meters away, and demolish the small car it
>landed
>on.  It lay there stunned for a moment, then began to struggle wildly in the
>net that held it.

>"What are you waiting for?" Kesshu demanded of Sailor Moon.  "Get it!"

>Sailor Moon threw her wings wide, and a brilliant silver glow burst from the
>Ginzuishou on her chest and bathed the dragon in its light.  She took a deep
>breath, and called out the words that summoned the attack's full power.
>"MOON PRINCESS TEMPORAL HALATION!" The Ginzuishou pulsed
>repeatedly, and the dragon slowly faded out of existence with each pulse, its
>furious roars fading as it did so.

>"Well, that was...anticlimactic," Yosho said, 
Ash: y'know, he's right that was.
>and then turned to his brother.  "Akuma!  You lazy good-for-nothing, get
>up!"  He punctuated his final words with a light lick to Akuma's ribs, who sat
>up, yawned, and looked around.
Miyuki: Eeeeyuuuuu. That was gross.
Mason: and unsanitary to boot.
>"Hi guys," he said with a sheepish smile.  "We win?"

>"Yes," Sailor Moon said, kneeling and throwing her arms around him.  "You
>heroic baka, you scared me to death."
Ash, Mason: LOL
>"Aww, I was OK," Akuma said as Sailor Moon released him.

>Yosho snorted in derision.  "You were almost a grease spot.  If it wasn't
>for Kesshu's quick work, we'd be picking you up with a scraper."
Mason: He's Ayeka's son alright.
>"I'm telling you, I was fine!" Akuma insisted.  "I can more than take a
>little fall."

>"A LITTLE FALL?" Yosho yelled incredulously.  "You were breaking the
>sound barrier!"
Mason, Ash: So what?
>"So? A REAL man can take something like that!"
Miyuki: a so called 'real man' would say some thing like that.
>"Are you suggesting something, you barbarian?"
Mason: cool. I can see it now; AKUMA THE BABARIAN! Coming soon to a
mailer near you.
>"What if I am, aristocratic baka?"

>Kesshu sighed, and banished his computer.  "Guys, this really isn't the time
>for this..."

>"Shut up, Kesshu!" the two men shouted, and went back to their arguing.
?Kesshu scowled and pushed back his sleeves, about to re-summon his
>terminal when Sailor Moon placed her hand on his arm and shook her head.

>"Don't," she said.  "It'll keep them out of trouble until Sailor Pluto
>arrives to take us to the next time period."

>"That's just it," Kesshu said.  "She won't.  Tiamat is still in this
>period."
Robot: Curious. The dragon was dispersed, yet still remains.
>"Then the dragon...?"
Ash: is still with the Chicago police department?
>"I don't know," he admitted.  "It has the signature that Pluto told me to
>look for, but I'm still detecting it in this time, and the timestream is
>still in flux.  That means it's not over yet."

>***

>Toraneko took herself down to the surface of the planet and allowed the
>un-transformed-Senshi to depart from her body before morphing back into
>her
>teenaged self.  They watched with no little amazement as Akuma and Yosho
>argued.
Miyuki: Isn't Toraneko kind of redundant?
>Eternal Sailor Moon stared at them.  "Why are you..."
Miyuki: (Venus voice)m dressed like chickens?
>"Not in our Senshi forms?" Rei completed with a snort.  "Ask your mother."

>"I'd...I'd rather not talk about it, Chibi-Usa-er...Usako-chan," Usagi said,
>blushing.
All: LOL
>Giggling, Toraneko walked over to Eternal Sailor Moon and began
>whispering in her ear.  After a moment, she began to giggle helplessly.  "Oh,
>Usagi-chan," she gasped, "you didn't!"
Miyuki: She did.
>Any further conversation was stalled by the sounds of battle from the tow
>arguing brothers.  "Bakas," Eternal Sailor Moon muttered, and transformed
>back to her normal form.

>"Isn't that dangerous?" Ami wondered.
Ash: what's dangerous?
>"What started them this time?" Toraneko asked the third brother.

>Kesshu shrugged.  "What else?  Akuma's machismo."  He turned to Usako.
>"Usako-hime, shouldn't we clear out of this area?  I expect it won't be long
>before the police arrive."  He winced as a roar of outrage and pain came
>from Akuma.
Mason: (munching on pop corn) Cool!
>"How do you plan on stopping those two?" Minako demanded.
Miyuki: (usako voice) well, we usually start by hiking up our skirts, and if that
doesn't work we drop a piece of meat on string between them.
>Usako and Toraneko grinned.  "Oh, that's easy," the cabbit-girl said.
>"Ready Usako-chan?  Three...two...one..."

>The saccharine call rang out.  "Oh boys?"
Miyuki: Oh puhleese. 
Ash: Continuity problems aside, not bad. Looking forward to the next part.

                                                            The four leave the Theatre as the screen fades to black.
