Part 2

	The next morning at the Masaki household, breakfast was even more exciting
than usually (which was saying something, considering that this is Tenchi's
house for crying out loud). 

	"Oh! Tenchi!  Why didn't you tell me that your friend was coming over last
night, huh?"  Ryoko pouted as she draped herself all over the beautiful
looking Kamui.  "I'd have welcomed him well."

	"That won't be necessary, Ryoko-san."  Kamui said in a strained voice as
he sipped on his tea.   

	"Oh, I assure you that it is VERY necessary," Ryoko purred as she pressed
herself even tighter against him, "I LUVE to make a guest feel welcomed."

	Feeling her ample blossoms against his shoulder, Kamui turned an
interesting shade of red as he choked on his tea.  Aeka gritted her teeth
at Ryoko's effect on the boy, and slammed a hand onto the dinning table.

	"Ryoko!  Shame on you! Your lack of modesty is making our guest
uncomfortable!"

	Ryoko gave her a sideways-glance as she sneered.

"Stuff it, ironing board.  Kamui here has never been as comfortable as he
is now in a REAL woman's embrace."

"What?!  How dare you speak to me that way!"

The usual fight between the two ensued, and Tenchi was secretly glad that
for once, it wasn't focused on him.  That was the most relaxing breakfast
he had ever had since Ryoko and Aeka's arrival.

Mr. Masaki slid over to Tenchi and whispered to him.  "Son, are you just
going to let sparkle-eyes here take your women for himself?  Do something!"

Tenchi shot his father an annoyed look: "Father . . ."

It was then that he noticed how the less handsome (and slightly underage)
Shinji was sitting by himself at a corner of the table, unnoticed by
anyone.  Frowning a bit, Tenchi decided to what's bothering the strange,
reserved boy.

"Hey, Shinji, you're being awfully quiet. Are you alright?" 

The boy looked startled as Tenchi settled himself beside him.  Smiling a
little awkwardly, Shinji made an excuse for himself:

"No . . . eh, it's just that with our new . . ." he lowered his voice so as
not to let the others hear him, "duties and all, I felt kind of overwhelmed."

"I know how your feel.  Besides, you're probably missing your friends, eh?"

At this, Shinji nodded hesitantly: "Yeah . . . me and my friends, we have
this abstract but close bond between us."

Tenchi smiled, glad that he could at least talk to one of them.  "And your
parents, you probably miss them."

To Tenchi's surprise, Shinji looked bitter as he answered rather edgily.

"I've been missing my mother for as long as I can remember, and there is no
way on earth that I'd miss my father: I won't give him that satisfaction."
 
Tenchi was shocked.  Never before had he seen anyone disliking his own
father so much.  Annoyed with, maybe . . . but to actually hate him?
Before he could ask Shinji about why he didn't like his own father, Sasami
had switched on the TV to wait for the morning cartoon while playing with
Ryo-oh-ki.  The morning news was currently on, and Tenchi soon find himself
distracted from his question as he heard what the broadcaster was saying:

**Around 5 am this morning, the police found several teenage males lying
unconscious on a bench of Nerima Park.  When taken to the local hospital,
it was found that they had all been mysteriously drained of their bodily
fluids to the blink of death.  None of the victims had visible wounds on
their bodies, even though one of them was found with a note taped onto his
lower abdomen. The note calls for a group of . . . Tuxedo Senshi to come to
the park by midnight tonight.  According to the police, they were baffled
by the . . . ridiculousness of it all, and had dismissed the suspect as a
third-grade anime maniac.  They refused to send any officer to further
investigate this case for fear of wasting the taxpayer's money . . .**

Kamui, who had escaped from the brawl between Aeka and Ryoko to watch the
news frowned.  He then spoke up with a look of distaste on his handsome
face. "In other words, they are too scared to get involved."

"But you've got to admit,"  the 8 year old Sasami said, "something like
this is just too childish and absurd to be taken seriously . ..  OOH!!
Twinklet Angels is on!"

"Meow!!"  Ryo-oh-ki leap up and down in excitement as well. The two began
watching their favorite children's show as they tuned out the rest of the
world.  Tenchi, Kamui, and Shinji sweated for a while, then nodded to each
other as they headed up to Tenchi's room to discuss the upcoming
confrontation.

*		*		*		*		*		*		
At the same moment, in a certain apartment of Tokyo:

Yusuke was watching the news intently as he absently combed his hair in his
"Grease" style.

**Around 5 am this morning, the police found several teenage males lying
unconscious on a bench of Nerima Park.  When taken to the local hospital,
it was found that they had all been mysteriously drained of their bodily
fluids to the blink of death.  None of the victims had visible wounds on
their bodies, even though one of them was found with a note taped onto his

third-grade anime maniac.  They refused to send any officer to further
investigate this case for fear of wasting the taxpayer's money . . .**

"Those chicken police . . . could this have to my dream last night?"

A new voice came from behind him, startling the boy into dropping the comb.

"Yes, it has definitely got to do with the visions that we've got last night."

Yusuke whirled around to glare at the androgynous redhead standing behind
him.  "Don't scare me like that, Kurama!"

The redhead sighed.  "It's Shuichi in the human world, Yusuke-san."    

"I know, fox-boy, I know . . ." Yusuke grumbled, then spoke up again, "so,
you've had the weird dream with the Tuxedo Guy too, didn't you?"

Kurama nodded. "Yes.  I tried to trace the dream back to its origin with my
magic, but it didn't work.  In the end, I still don't know who . . . or
what gave me those dreams."

"You think we should tell the other guys and alert Koenma?  We're still
kinda working under him, you know."

Kurama shook his head, rich, red hair fluttering against the sides of his
beautiful face.  "Somehow, my instincts told me that we should handle this
case alone: I have a feeling that we will be facing a very different kind
of opponent this time.  I don't want to involve Hiel and Kazuma
unnecessarily."

Yusuke flexed his knuckles.  "Oh well. Between the two of us, we're strong
enough to take down any youkai on our own . . ." 

"No."

"What?"

Kurama frowned as his green eyes narrowed. "Our opponent . . . it isn't a
youkai, I'm sure of it."

Yusuke blinked.  "Not a youkai . . . so that's why you don't want the
others to get involved, huh?  You don't want them to get hurt, is that it?"

Kurama nodded.  

"Heh, Hiel will probably fry you alive if he ever heard you saying that,
and that idiot Kazuma will probably just ignore your warning.  Okay, I
won't tell them." Yusuke looked out his window and smirked confidently.
"Either way, we'll find out who the hell had been giving us those dreams by
this coming midnight, right?"

"Right."  Kurama smiled,  "I have to go to school now, bye."

"Yeah, see you tonight."

With that, Kurama vanished into thin air as Yusuke prepared himself for
another day of delinquency at his own school. 

*		*		*		*		*		*		
Later that morning, at a certain high school in Tokyo:

Haruhiko was deep in thought as the absently sat through his math class.

"A and B are the upper and lower boundaries of . . ."

<Tuxedo Warrior . . . a confrontation tonight . . . it almost seemed like
another scheme of Shiron's to try and kill me again.  No . . . I shouldn't
think of him like this, I deserved it the last time.>

"And the integral of this equation is . . ." 

<Only one way to find out for sure: I'll have to go to the park tonight . .
. alone.  And this time, there is no way I'm going to let Tamura-san get
involved: he had been through far too much for me already.>

" . . . antiderivative of the function."

<Tonight, I shall have my answer.>

*		*		*		*		*		*

Later that afternoon, at a certain dojo in the Nerima Ward:

"We're home!" Ranma announced as he stepped into the Tendo house together
with Akane.

"Ah, Ranma, you came back just in time."

Soun Tendo came up to the pair, together with the head of the neighborhood
watch who visited the Tendo whenever there was a criminal case in the area.
 Immediately, Ranma knew that something was up. 

"Yo!  What's it this time?  If you're still after the panty thief, then
rest assure that it will be futile: no prison on earth can possibly
imprison him for very long - OOF!"

"Baka!"  Akane elbowed Ranma in his ribs as she whispered harshly: "Don't
remind him that we are sheltering a criminal in here!"

The neighborhood watch person pretended that he didn't hear the exchange.
"No, Saotome-san, what we've got in our hand is a rapist with an
inclination toward teenagers at Nerima Park . . ."

"NANI?!"  Ranma and Akane both gasped at hearing that.  Completely
forgetting about her previous sentence, Akane blurted out.

"Happosai is a lecher, but even he wouldn't resort to rape!"

"Besides, I don't think he can . . . you know . . . function."  Ranma
pointed out.

The man shook his head: "We already know that it can't be him."

" . . .?"

"The victims are all teenage BOYS."

Ranma facefaulted as Akane turned a bright shade of red.

"Oh, THAT kind of rapist . . ."

"Anyway, Saotome-san," the man spoke up again as he looked at Ranma with a
slightly embarrassed expression, "seeing that you are a male, teenage
martial artist, the neighborhood watch community had decided to ask you to
act as a decoy and capture the rapist for us."

"NANI?!"  Ranma shot up from his facefaulting position and began backing
away.  "No, man.  There NO way I'm gonna be a bait for some . . .
boy-raping pervert! Get some effeminate looking kid to do it!  I know, how
about Konatsu at Ucchan's okonomiyaki? Now that's a -"

"Actually, according to the police, the rapist is most likely female . . ."

"Oh . . . for a moment there I thought . . ."  Ranma slapped his forehead
as he visibly relaxed. "It's alright then, I'll go.  With a REAL MAN like
me being there, the rapist will show up for sure!"  
 
"What do you mean that it's ALRIGHT?!"  Akane growled and whipped out her
mallet as Ranma backed away defensively.  

"Wait, Akane!  No need to get jealous over a rapist-"

"Ranma no BAKA!!!  I'm just angry because you are such a . . . a  . . .
PERVERT!!!!" 

"AHHH!!!!!!"

And the usual chaos of the Tendo household ensued.



 *		*		*		*		*		*		
Later that night, inside the recording room of a certain music studio
specializing in grooming idol singers:

Within the soothing darkness and exotic music, one of the hottest idols of
the studio was singing yet another one of his sultry, husky song that was
guaranteed to make young women swoon and young men shiver into the microphone:

"Sweet dreams are made of these,
Who am I to disagree?
Travel the world through the seven seas,
Everybody's looking for something.
Some of them wanted to use you,
Some of them want to be be used by you.
Some of them want to abuse you,
Some of them wanted to be abused ~WO~WO~"

As the boy finished up the song, the album director yelled cut, and
everybody breathed out a collective sigh of relief.

"Very good," The director said with a smile, "you may all leave now."  

The boy pulled back his long hair into a ponytail as he let out a yawn,
exhausted.  Singing 5 numbers again and again in one day could do that to a
singer, not to mention the series of snapshots that was taken of him for
the upcoming album.  As the cool night air met him outside the Studio's
gates, he sighed to himself.  

<What would I give for a can of beer . . .>

Just then, an opened can of beer miraculously appeared in front of his very
eyes as a familiar voice spoke up from beside him:

"Hey, want some?"

"Thanks, Takuto, I needed that."  Kouji said as he gulped down the beer in
mere seconds, then neatly tossed it into a garbage can some distance away.
Turning back to his soul mate, he asked. "So, where do you wanna go this
Friday night?  There is this new bar called YS 4 blocks down."

Takuto sighed.  "You know, before knowing you, I never used to hang around
bars at night . . ."

Kouji smiled sultrily as he put an arm around the smaller boy's shoulder.
"Nor did you share your bed with another, so what's the point?"

Takuto mock-pouted.  "Quite true.  You've corrupted me to the core, you
burnt out rock star."

Kouji smirked, long eyes sparkling with gallant mischieve. "And you've
always longed to be corrupted, my clean-cut soccer player.  It's no fun
being a boy-scout, and you know it."

Takuto smiled back. "Baka rebel . . . oh well, at least I don't have school
tomorrow . . ."

Warping their arms around each other's shoulders like a pair of overtly
intimate friends, the two of them slipped into the glamorous night scene of
Tokyo's red-light district and disappeared into the crowd.

*		*		*

Midnight, at Nerima Park:

Standing on the central clearing of the park were three tuxedo-clad boys,
one unarmed and the other two each carried a wand and a spear.  All three
of them were waiting to see what will happen now that they had taken up the
strange enemy's challenge.

"Our enemy is late."  Saturn observed.

"Maybe she had decided to cancel the fight at the last moment?" Moon asked.

"Not likely," Pluto said, "now that all three of us are here, this is the
best time for whatever pawn Galaxia had sent to get rid of us before we
could activate the other Tuxedo Senshi."

Just then, out of a corner of his eye, Tenchi caught a glimpse of people
heading their way.  "It's more than one person."

Saturn frowned.  "They looked like normal people . . ."

"Everyone, hide!" Pluto hissed, and the three of them immediately leapt
soundlessly up onto the tall branches of a thickly leafed tree. The two
teenage boys, one with short dark hair while the other had long red
tresses, came up into the clearing and began to look around suspiciously.

"I sensed a strange energy somewhere around here."  Kurama said as he
looked around with his overtly intelligent-looking green eyes.  "But it's
too subtle for me to locate it."

Yusuke took a deep breath, and yelled out to the dark surroundings: "Hey!
You $%$#$%$^% who gave us weird dreams!  Stop hiding and come face us like
a man!!  C'mon!  Aren't you MAN enough to confront us, now that you have
called us here?"

Kurama sweated as he turned to his friend.  "Yusuke-san, I don't think
swearing would lure our enemy out."

"Maybe not," Yusuke shrugged, "but it will surely piss him off."

Before Kuruma could tell him that he would probably only succeed in amusing
the enemy with this stupid display of immaturity, he noticed another person
walking up towards them some distance away.  He was rather overdressed,
wearing a flamboyant white party suit with gold-lining, exaggerating
shoulder pads and an elaborate, lacy black bow tie. Flipping a hampered,
narrow pigtail over one shoulder, he smiled to himself.

"Heh . . . see if any boy-crazy women can resist THIS . . . she'll fall
into my trap for sure.  Ranma Saotome, you ARE the man-"

"Eh . . . ano, who the hell are you and what are you doing?"  Yusuke asked
with his left eye twitching while Kurama simply stared blankly at the
strangely dressed boy.   

"Huh?!"  Ranma looked a bit taken back at the sight of the two other boys.
"You two are the serial rapists preying on young boys?!"

Kurama facefaulted as Yusuke exploded. "The #^$^%?! What the hell are you
talking about?!"

"What am I talking about?!  I'm sent here by the Nerima neighborhood watch
to catch the rapist haunting this park!  What are you two doing here?"

"A bait, huh?  Well," Yusuke stared at Ranma's get up critically, "that
explained the monkey suit . . . "

"What are you calling a monkey suit?!  This is a perfectly fine getup."
Ranma snapped.  "And what the hell are you two doing here?  Don't you two
know how dangerous this park is at night?"
  
"We're trying to nail the-"  Yusuke's sentence was abruptly cut off as
Kurama put a hand over his mouth while smiling back at Ranma.

"We're just passing by.  Sorry to disturb you and good luck on your mission."

With that, Kurama quickly dragged Yusuke out of sight as Ranma called out
after them.

"Just stay out of my way, and get out of here as quickly as possible: this
place is dangerous!"

Once they were out of Ranma's view, Kurama released Yusuke as the latter
snapped at him.

"What were do doing, Kurama?!"

"Shhh!" The fox boy held a finger to his lips, silencing him.  "With that
boy as a bait, we could easily take out our opponent by surprise while it
was focused on him!"

Yusuke's eyes widened in realization: "Yeah!  That could work.  And this
way, the monkey-suit guy would be taking the risk for us too!"

Kurama smiled a narrow-eyed smile: "Exactly."

"Man, fox is a cunning animal after all, " Yusuke snickered as Kurama
winked back at him.

"Especially when it had lived through 4 hundred years in the demon world."

*		*		*		*		*		*		

Leaning against the lamppost placed at the clearing, Ranma was soon
becoming impatient as he swatted at the mosquitoes that were getting into
his pant leg much to his annoyance.

"Dammit!  Why won't that rapist woman come out!  Aren't I hot enough for
her?!"

Unknown to him, a delicate-looking, dark skinned boy was hiding in the
bushes right behind the lamppost.  Looking at the turn of events, Haruhiko
sighed inwardly to himself.

<Maybe this really isn't Shinon's doing after all. I wonder who those
tuxedo clad boys were?  Wait a minute . . . one of them, he looked like the
boy from last night's dream . . .>

Just then, his train of thought was interrupted by the sight of an overtly
curvy woman walking up towards the pigtailed boy leaning against the lamppost.

*		*		*		*		*		*

"Hello there . . ."

Ranma looked up from swatting at his leg, and saw a VERY well-endowed woman
in a slinky sailor suit walking up towards him.  Her face, with its overtly
dramatic makeup, resembled a harsher, much more evil version of Miss
Hinako.  Ranma couldn't help but blush.

"Umm . . . hello." 

The woman smiled as he licked her crimson lips.

"So, what's a pretty looking boy like you doing so late at this park?  It
wouldn't have to do with what is on the news this morning, would it?"

Hearing that, Ranma's demeanor changed instantly narrowed his eyes.

"So, you were the one preying on teenage boys, huh?"

The woman laughed. "Quite so.  And you are the one who had come to take up
the challenge, I presume?"

The various boys who were hidding nearby gasped as they heard that.

Ranma cracked his knuckles and smirked cockily.  "Quite so.  I don't like
hitting women, so surrender yourself peacefully and-"

He never did get to finish his sentence, as the woman darted toward him
with blinding speed and aimed her sharp nails at his eyes.  Years of
training kicked in as Ranma quickly dodged and slashed out with a kick,
which the woman dodged with ease.  Shifting into a feminine martial arts
stance, she smiled evilly at him.

"So, you've come alone, Tuxedo Moon. How foolish of you."  
 
Ranma was taken back as he heard that. "Tuxedo Moon?"

Yusuke and Kurama were having similar reactions from where they're hiding.
"Tuxedo Moon . . . the one who gave us those dreams?!"

"Tuxedo Moon . . . the boy in the dream . . ." Haruhiko whispered.

Meanwhile, the woman began a rapid series of attacks in lighting speed, and
Ranma was shocked to find that for once, he was SERVERLY outclassed.
Tripping over a piece of rock, he fell backwards onto the stone pavement,
and the woman immediately straddled him as she licked her lips hungrily.

"Now, you've mine, Tuxedo Moon."

"I have no idea what the $^$%& are your talking about!"  Ranma spat.  "Let
go of me!!"

"Hmhmhmhmhmhm . . . really?  After I'm done with you, I'll take your star
seed.  Then we will see if you are lying or not."  She said as she leaned
down towards Ranma with a lustful, crazed look on her face as Ranma's eyes
widened in horror as he noticed her mouthful of sharp fangs for the very
first time.

"AHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Up on the tree, Moon tensed himself, preparing to interfere.  Just then,
however, one of the bow ties in his pocket suddenly slipped out of his
pocket and began rotating as it floated up into the air.  Moon, Saturn and
Pluto were all shocked by the strange sight.

"What . . . what the . . ."

As Ranma screamed, the bow tie abruptly stopped, and shot towards the boy
much to the senshi's bewilderment.

Meanwhile, the woman was growling in a rather twisted voice.  "I . . .
Sailor Succubus, shall now give you a glimspe of hell's various pleasures."
 With that, she sliced open Ranma's pants with her sharp finger nails as
the boy struggled vainly.

"Ahhhh!!!  Pervert!  Freak!  Nympo!!"

Just then, the bow tie attached itself neatly over his original one, and
Ranma became very still as he felt a new rush of energy entering him.

Sailor Succubus seemed to notice this too.  "What?  This aura . . ."

Just then, a huge wave of energy busted out of Ranma's body and threw the
evil sailor off him. Immediately, the boy's body turned into a figure of
light as his clothes vanished. Tendrils of light came out of the bow tie,
enveloping his figure and quickly turning into a classical style tuxedo.
During all this time, Ranma's body was shifting through various gallant
gestures on its own as stars flashed around him. 20 seconds later, the
pigtail boy was transformed into the hot-looking Tuxedo Mars.

Facing the monster with new-found confidence, Mars began going through
various macho poses as he lectured the bewildered demon.

"While boys do like girls who are forward and daring, forcing herself upon
them is simply too much!  In the name of the planet of masculinity, Mars, I
SHALL punish you!"  

"Tuxedo Mars . . ." Sailor Succubus growled angrily.

"Tuxedo Mars . . .?" Haruhiko wondered out loud.

"Another senshi!"  Moon exclaimed excitely. "Yes!  We've found another one
of us!" 

"Is this for real?"  Yusuke asked no one in particular as Kurama simply
sweated at the turn of events. 

"No matter!"  Succubus growled.  "You shall be mine!"

With that, she charged Mars again, as the later shifted into an attack stance.

"Mars . . . Fire . . . Moko Takabisha!"

A strong blast of unearthy flame shot out from his palms towards Succubus,
who narrowly dodged the attack and closed in on the startled boy.

"THIS ENDS NOW!" She growled while darting towards the stunned boy.  Just
then, a deep, mysterious whisper echoed through the park, starting Succubus. 

"Dead . . . Ki."

A strong blast of energy that resembled the planet Pluto shot towards the
she-devil in an impressive arc, forcing her to adjust her momentum and away
from Mars.  Turning around, she saw three tuxedo-clad boys standing in
various poses.  The unarmed one spoke up in a determined voice as he too,
like Mars, went through some unnecessary poses.

"I am Tuxedo Moon, the champion of justice!!  Pawn of Galaxia, I shall
defend the earth from the likes of you!  In the name of the Moon,"

"Saturn!"

"Pluto!"

"We WILL punish you!"

Succubus gritted her sharp fangs in anger as Mars ran to their side.  "A .
. . ano . . . can somebody tell me what is going on?"

He was a bit taken back as Moon took his hand firmly as he smiled at the
startled looking Mars.  

"You're one us."

Mar's eyes widened in recognition.  "You!  You are the guy in my dream!
How -"

"We'll explain later!"  Pluto turned to him impatiently.  "For now, let's
concentrate on the -"

"HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAH!!!!!" Succubus' laugh cut him off she leapt towards them
like an enraged beast.  "Let's see how good you are, second level senshi!"

Darting in front of his distracted teammates, Saturn pointed his spear at
her and shouted.

"Berserker Strike!"

An immensely powerful beam of energy shot out from his spear toward
Succubus, who narrowly dodged in time to spare herself from being crushed.
Just then, however, a wave of ESP power hit her right on her flank.  She
dropped to the ground, howling in pain, as another new boy stepped out from
the bushes that he was hiding behind.

"That's enough!"  Harihiko said angrily as he clutched at his pounding
heart to prevent it from jumping out of his chest: using ESP powers always
seemed to be extremely stressful on his heart condition.  "I . . . I won't
let you hurt them, whoever you are!"  He then turned to the stunned looking
Tuxedo Moon and spoke up hesitantly: "You.  I think . . . I KNOW you're the
one in my dream!"

Moon's eyes widened as he heard that.  "Another senshi?!"

Taking out a bow tie from his pocket, he walked up to Harihiko and pressed
it onto his throat. Haruhiko's eyes widened in shock as his body turned
into a figure of light as his clothes vanished. Tendrils of light came out
of the bow tie, enveloping his figure and quickly turning into a classical
style tuxedo.  During all this time, Harihiko's body was shifting through
various gallant gestures on its own as stars flashed around him. 20 seconds
later, the cute, dark-skinned boy was transformed into the even more
handsome-looking Tuxedo Mercury.  He looked at himself in shock.

"This . . . this is . . ."

"Welcome to the team, fellow Tuxedo Warrior."  Moon smiled, while Mercury
was still in shock.

"Mercury . . . but that wasn't were I was from . . ."

Out of a corner of his eyes, he saw Succubus getting up from the ground.
Immediately, he prepared himself for an attack that seemed to come
naturally to him.

"Mercury . . . aqua . . . ESP wave!!"
  
An extremely strong ESP wave that resembled flowing water shot out from
around him and toward Succubus, who managed to get out of the way this time
. . .

. . . and landed right where Kurama and Yusuke were hiding.  The two
immediately tried attacking her with their respective youkai magics, but
she beat them to the game by rapidly grabbing them around their throats.
Turning back to the Tuxedo Warriors, Succubus laughed evilly.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Don't move or I will kill these little boys right before
your eyes!"

The Senshi tensed, none of them knowing what to do.   Succubus laughed
triumphantly, until she noticed a thorny vine sliding rapidly out of
Kurama's shirt collar and up her arm like a serpent as the redhead smiled
at her with dark playfulness.

"AHHH!!!!"  Succubus gasped and loosened her hold on the boys to struggle
with the fast growing, snake-like vine.  Taking the opening, Yusuke
immediately blasted the she-devil with his S-class youki, sending her
tumbling through the heavy shrub of trees.  The two of them stepped out to
the stunned looking scouts.

"I appears that you are not our enemy after all, Tuxedo Moon."  Kurama
smiled at Moon, who was still looking incredulous at the pair.  "You were
the one who sent us those dreams, am I correct?"

"Actually,"  Moon said while rubbing the back of his head, "I don't
remember sending anyone dreams."

"Sailor Pluto said that all the rest of the Tuxedo Senshi shall awaken
together with you," Pluto suggested, "perhaps that's why they have been
getting impressions of you?"

"Right!"  Moon said as he slapped a fist into his palm as he spoke up
excitedly.  "So, you two have been getting visions of me too?  This means
that you're both Tuxedo Senshi as well, destined to protect the earth from
the upcoming invasion of Sailor Galaxia!"

"I am?  Wow . . ." Yusuke began debating whether saving the universe is
worth wearing an outdated tuxedo for, while Kurama simply smiled.

"Yes, it would appear so.  The visions all make sense now."   

"Will you two accept your duties?"  Moon asked as he took out two more bow
ties.

"Yes."  Kurama replied without hesitation.  Meanwhile, Yusuke was still
looking uncertain.

"Um . . . give me another minute, will you?"

Staring past him, Pluto spoke up with a frown.  "I'm afraid that you won't
have this luxury . . . talk a look behind you."

Yusuke turned, and sweated at the sight of Succubus floating in midair
while an unholy purple aura flared around her.  Her face now seemed even
more demonic than before as she growled like a beast.  Immediately, Yusuke
grabbed a bow-tie and put it onto his throat.

"Tux is good!"

 Kurama calmly put on his bow tie at the same time.

 ". . ."

Immediately, the boys' bodies turned into figures of light as their clothes
vanished. Tendrils of light came out of the bow ties, enveloping their
figures and quickly turning into two classical style tuxedos.  During all
this time, the boy's bodies were shifting through various gallant gestures
on its own as stars flashed around them. 20 seconds later, Kurama was
transformed into the ultra-bishonen Venus while Yusuke became a cooler
looking Jupiter.  Mars whispered to Moon as he saw this: "Was I that cheesy
looking during my transformation?'

Before Moon could reply Pluto beat him to it with a cool, disinterested
voice: "Even more so." 

Mars glared at Pluto as the later remained totally unfazed.  Meanwhile,
Jupiter and Venus were attacking the she-devil with their new found power.  

"Jupiter . . . Youki . . . Evolution!!"  Jupiter shouted as Youki thundered
out of his hands towards Succubus.  Twirling an energy whip admist a
whirlwind of red rose petals, Venus also shorted out his attack.

"Venus . . . Lovely . . . Rose-Whip!!"

The whip made a cut on Succubus's face as she shrieked in pain. Seeing how
badly Succubus was doing against the two, Kamui spoke up with a cold smile.
 "Give it up, demon.  You have no chance of winning."

Succubus' eyes began to glow red, making her look even more evil than before.

"Don't be so sure, little boys!" She spat.  "You are, after all, males.
And as such, you are all under my power!  SUCCUBUS ILLUSION!!!"

Immediately, the woman seemed to spit up into seven different counterparts.
 The Tuxedo Senshi all gasped as they saw how the counterparts looked like:

Ryoko, Mokulen, Akane, Keiko, a pretty looking vixen, Asuka, and Kotori,
each one of them smiling seductively at their respective Senshi suitor.

"Oh, boy . . ." Mars whimpered as Akane began to pull out her
inter-dimensional mallet.

*		*		*		*		*		*

"Ah!  That was fun."

"Baka, you're such a show off!"

The two slightly drunk young man were walking through the Nerima Park back
to their shared apartment as they struggled to stay somber through the
effects of the alcohol that the two had consumed.

"Were not!"  Kouji growled as he slapped Takuto on his back, almost causing
the smaller boy to throw up.  "You're just saying that cause you threw up
half way during the drinking contest."

"I do NOT believe I would let you talk me into that!"  Takuto whined as he
put a hand over his mouth.  "Kami, I don't anticipate the hung over that
I'm going to get tomorrow . . ."

"Brrr . . . just take it like a man!"  Kouji slurred.
  
"Why you . . ."  Takuto's sentence trailed off as he noticed the strange
scene in front of him.  Shaking his head a bit, he looked again, just to
make sure that it wasn't a side effect of his drunken state.

A gang of around seven boys, all clad in Tuxedos, were fleeing desperately
from seven girls, who all bore looks of animal rages on their faces as they
chased after the boys while shouting like banchees.

"Hmmm . . ." Kouji scratched his chin while forcing down the urge to vomit.
 "that's a prom night turned sour if I've ever seen one."  
  
"Baka! There's still another couple of weeks to go before school ends."
Takuto replied drunkenly as he stared at the scene for a while.  ". . . is
it just me or are they running towards us?"

"Drunk as I am," Kouji said, "I think they ARE indeed running towards us."

"Aren't we going to move out of the way?"

"Nah.  I'm too tired."

*		*		*		*		*		*		
The scouts were fleeing from their respective crushes franticly as they
each ran as fast as their legs could carry them.

"Oh my god!  Not only does she look like Ryoko, she even fought like Ryoko!
 There's no way we can win!"  Moon screamed as he avoided another blast
from the Ryoko double.

"Oh Mokulen!  How can a sweet gentle girl like you become so violent!?"
Mercury asked as he ran for dear life.

"These are VERY good doubles!"  Mars said while dodging a mallet strike.
"She is just as clumsy as that tomboy is!"

"And Keiko's punch still rocks . . . yah!!!"  Jupiter screamed as he sailed
towards the night sky from an uppercut.

"Asuka, why are doing this?!  Stop it!!"  Saturn yelled as he dodged a
knife-swipe from a berserker Asuka.  Tears of anger and fright were
steaming down his eyes as he did so.

Venus, meanwhile, remained quiet as he busily dodged the serpent like vines
that were spouting out of the vixen's paws.  The same could be said for
Pluto: neither of which believed that their attackers where indeed their
loves. Yet, evil with the knowledge, neither of them could bring themselves
to attack the fakes either.

"Hey!"  Mars yelled as he saw the two figures staggering up.  "There is a
punk guy and a geek in our way!"

"Say, the long-haired guy is Kouji, the hottest idol of XXX studios!"
Jupiter said as he studied the pair nosily.  "Oh wow, could the other kid
be the gay lover that he was rumored to have?  Wait till I tell Keiko about
this . . ." 

"We have to save them!  If Succubus' split images get a hold of them, then
they're as good as dead!" Moon yelled as he and Mercury darted forward and
carried the boys in their own arms while they kept on running with the rest
of the gang.

"Hey there, like what you're cupping in your hand?"  Kouji slurred
drunkenly as Mercury sweated.  Takuto, carried by Moon, fumed at hearing that.

"Baka Kouji!  Stop being such an infidel!"

Moon's face flushed as he began to get a hint of the relationship between
the two drunken boys.  Distracted, he tripped on a piece of rock and the
two boys fell in a heap.  The rest of the wild women leapt towards them
like a pack of wolves as Moon and Takuto yelped in fright.  The other
Senshi all screamed out in horror at the scene.

"Tuxedo Moon!"

Kouji, meanwhile, was also shocked back into being somber.

"Takuto!"

Just then, a hail of small, hard objects abruptly shot towards the crazed
girls like bullets, forcing them away from the senshi and the boy.
Everybody was stunned by the appearance of an extremely glamorous woman in
a classical red gown who was carrying a small metal object between her
fingers.  

"Shameless delinquents!  How dare you imposters confuse those poor boys by
taking the forms of their loves?  By the power of the earth, your
delinquency will stop right here and now!"

"Wow . . . she's gorgeous!"  Jupiter drooled as the other boys simply
stared at her with looks of admiration in their eyes.  Tenchi find himself
blushing as he took in the flowing long hair, the glamorous face, and the
tall but curvy figure.  The woman turned to him, and instructed: "Hurry,
Tuxedo Moon, use the bow ties on the two young men now: they are the only
ones who can defeat Succubus' evil."

Tuxedo Moon immediately took out his two remaining bow ties.  Before he
could even put them on, the ties flew out of his hands and attached
themselves to the two boys. Immediately, the boys' bodies turned into
figures of light as their clothes vanished. Tendrils of light came out of
the bow ties, enveloping their figures and quickly turning into two
classical style tuxedos.  During all this time, the boy's bodies were
shifting through various gallant gestures on its own as stars flashed
around them. 20 seconds later, Kouji was transformed into the seductive
Uranus while Takuto became a handsome looking Neptune. Shifting into a cool
pose, the now completely somber Uranus and Neptune stood back to back as
they made their speeches.

"Invited by the new age, born of the guardian of the sky, Tuxedo Uranus,
ready to rock you!"

"Likewise, born of the guardian of the ocean, Tuxedo Neptune, ready to
crush you!"

The figures of the seven girls blurred back into that of Sailor Succubus,
now snarling at the two like an enraged beast.

"Heh, we'll see about that!  SUCCUBUS ILLUSIONS!"

Uranus and Neptune immediately prepared themselves for Succubus's attack.
They began to sweat as nothing came of it.  Succubus herself seemed to be
in shock: "Na . . . nani?!  Why can't I turn into their favorite women?!"

Jupiter slapped a fist into his palm as he realized something.  "Ah-HA!  I
see!  These two are not affect by Succubus' magic because they aren't in
love with any woman at the moment!"

Mar frowned as he studied the pair.  "You mean to tell me that those two
still haven't got their own girlfriends?  Really, they need to go out more
often . . ."

"Baka!  Can't you tell?  The two of them are in love WITH EACH OTHER!!"
Jupiter exclaimed exasperatedly as Mar's took a few steps back.

"You mean . . . those two . . . what a pair of -"

His sentence was cut off as Pluto stuck his wand into Mar's mouth.  "Please
keep your opinions to yourself.  They are the only ones who can help us
defeat this evil!"

Meanwhile, Uranus and Neptune were joining forces in their attack of
Succubus as they exercised their new powers.  Forming an energy guitar from
between his hands, Uranus struck the strings and sent out a various beams
of highly concentrated musical energy at his target.

"World . . .ROCKING!!!" 

Neptune meanwhile, simply kept on materializing solid water balls out of
nowhere for his rather aquatic attack.

"Deep Submerge . . . SOCKER STRIKE!!!"

Both attacks managed to hit Succubus at the same time, fazing the demonic
woman.  Turning to Moon, Saturn shouted.  "Tuxedo Moon, use your power now!"

"Hai!"  Forming an energy sword out of his right hand, he slashed at
Succubus as he shouted: "Moon Cleansing Power!!"

The sword sliced right through Sailor Succubus, and the totally evil woman
disappeared in a shower of sparks.  Moon turned back to where the
mysterious woman was, ready to thank her, but found that she was already gone.

<Who was she?>

*		*		*		*		*		*		
After the explanation from Tuxedo Moon was done and everybody had became
better acquainted, the new Tuxedo Senshi Warriors all made a vow to defend
the earth no matter what.

"Mokulen's dying wish from her last life was to protect this planet: I
won't fail her."  Mercury stated.

"Heh, it is a martial artist's duty to fight evil."  Mars smirked cockily.

"If the earth in taken over, then the demon world as well as the spirit
world will be taken over too.  As a human and a part time demon warlord, I
won't allow that."  Jupiter cracked his knuckles.

"For the sake of my human mother, and the fragile but beautiful lives of
all those on earth, I shall defend it." Venus stated.

"Well, if the earth is taken over by evil, then who will listen to my
songs?"  Uranus smirked.

"I am doing this to protect my younger sister and brother."  Neptune said
seriously while clutching a fist.

"Thank you, everyone," Moon smiled, "with all of us fighting as one, I know
we can defeat this great evil threatening it.  Galaxia will be coming to
Earth within 9 days.  During this time, we must learn to open up to each
other as true friends do-"

"Actually," Mars spoke up while looking sideways at Pluto, "I kinda have a
problem with Pluto's obnoxious attitude . . ."

Pluto merely tilted up his chin while staring down coolly at Mars.
Meanwhile, Neptune was glaring at Mars.  "Talking about attitudes, I kinda
have a problem with Mars' homophobia myself . . ."

Mars glared back at Neptune.  "If my mom had a son like you, then she'd get
you to cut open your stomach and commit seppuku for sure!" 

Neptune, who still bored the scar given by his mother as a child (though
for a different reason), looked ready to use his Deep Submerge Soccer
Strike before Jupiter restrained him just in time. 

"Hey, hey!  Calm down," Jupiter said while holding Neptune back, "while I
have nothing against it, let's just say that BBS isn't exactly socially
acceptable in Japan to begin with . . ."   

 "By the way," Uranus's eyes narrowed as he stared at Jupiter, "don't you
find it amoral to pry into the personal life of a celebrity?  Why did you
condone it?"

"NANI?!"

"Mars," Venus spoke up in a reasoning tone of voice, "where I come from,
male-male pairings are just as acceptable as male-female ones, and I don't
think it's right to look down on others just because their sexual
orientation is different from yours."

Mars looked unimpressed.  "You're just saying that cause you're one of them!"

Venus' face darkened.  "I am not."

"Yeah right! What kind of hot-blooded guys have girlish hair like yours?"
Mars sneered.  "Besides, you didn't even drool at the sight of that
mysterious woman."

"In case you didn't know, I was busy wondering what is her stand in this
battle." Venus replied coolly.  "As for my hair, it isn't much longer than
your own, from what I can see."  

"Well, mine is different.  My hair don't have your feminine feel to it."
Mars persisted. 

"In other words: you have thinning hair while mine is rich and voluminous.
Simple as that." Venus smirked coyly while running a hand through his own
rich locks.

"WHAT did you say?!"

The Senshi spent the rest of the night fighting each other as  Moon sighed
to himself: with that bunch as his teammates, saving the earth is NOT going
to be a easy mission.  Thinking back to the mysterious woman, Moon couldn't
help but blush.

<Wow . . . she's so beautiful, even more so than Ryoko!  I wish I can see
her again . . . baka!  What am I thinking!  A mature woman like her
couldn't possibly fall for a plain boy like me . . .>  

Looking up into the sky, he saw an image of the woman smiling back at him
with sophisticated playfulness. 

<. . . could she?>
