With the Sailor Senshi was a fourth figure. This figure was not
able to run at speeds of moving traffic. As a result, he was being
carried.
Piggy back style in fact.
Better than doggie-style, I suppose.
"Nothing. Just keep running." He abruptly had a mental picture of
himself, standing on Sailor Moon's back, holding her pig tails like reigns
and screaming 'Mush, Mush, you doggies!'
WAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Oh god, that's quite the picture.
He shook his head. 'I need
more sleep.'
With Setsuna
"No. Look, drop me of by the side of the road,
Jupiter did as she said, releasing him while she was still running at sixty
miles an hour. The sound of him hitting the telephone pole was not a pretty
thing.
Mars and Venus were both waiting at the Tower when the other
three showed up.
Curly: Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk. You called?
"Yeah, but how? From what I've seen, our attacks are meaningless.
I managed to burn it last time but
time, but
it must have been able to regenerate
>from that." Mars seemed very frustrated by her lack of success against it.
"That's because we have not actually attacked it yet, only its outer
shell."
shell,
Ami replied. She had opened up her computer and was typing fast
and furious. "When Cyanide saved my life, I say
saw
him put a bullet right
between it's
its
eyes. It dinged and ricocheted off."
"So normal weapons won't hurt it either? How are we supposed to
win?" Moon whined.
"I think I figured out its signature though. Its
It's
a cyborg."
cyborg,
There was a short pause. Then all seven said something as one.
"Ewww."
"Cyanide is going to be here in a few minutes. We need a plan by
then," Moon said.
"If we could ambush it, maybe our combined attacks would burn
its armor of." Mars really didn't want to think about burning its skin of,
off
"What's that?" Artemis asked.
"Well, some of our attacks are going to be almost pointless. It's a
machine, but it's not magic or evil.
Obviously it's not running with Microsoft software. That's as evil as you
can get.
"Oh," seemed to be the general response.
"But it's evil! It tried to kill us all!" Jupiter declared.
"Who is the evil one, the rock that hits you in the head or the rock
thrower?
Jupiter: The rock. See. Our attacks will work.
"You see, Milord! It can't fail!" Sodium, it appeared, took that
particular revelation much better than the Senshi did.
"Hmm."
"It still hasn't won. And there is Cyanide, don't forget. He could tip
the balance into their favor." Onyx spoke one
on
"Anybody want a peanut? I'm selling them cheap?"
"I'll take one."
"Me too."
"Gimme a pack."
Heh
"Milord, why not send several other monsters back to assist the
agent in the destruction of the Senshi? After all, what do we have to
loose?
The agent succeeded in killing them once, before the chronomancy of
Pluto gave them another chance at life. you
You
"Argentium, that's brilliant. You're my new military advisor."
Diamond favored his new lieutenant with a smile.
"Hey! I'm your military advisor!" Came a cry of distress from the right.
ZAP!
Ah, typical evil overlord action.
"Like I was saying, Argentium, you're my new military advisor."
Diamond blew on his fingers.
A toady raised his hand, about to protest that he was next in line
for that position. Then he paused, had a brilliant idea, and put his hand
down.
That alone is a brilliant idea.
"Gimme a sec. I need something to clear my mind." And with that,
Cyanide lit up. <Marlboro Reds, a 100 for those of you who are curious>
"You smoke!?"
Cyanide: Only when I'm on fire.
Came an exclamation from all three of the Senshi
present.
"Brilliant deductive skills. I'm amazed."
"But that'll kill you!" Moon informed him.
"No. That damn Terminator could kill me. These'll just clear my
head."
As Cyanide lit up, he felt his lung suddenly turn cancerous and kill him.
It was amazing how the Gods of Irony enjoyed screwing around with people
from time to time
"Could you please not use those words?" Mercury asked
Cyanide: Fine. That damn walking tin box could kill me.
"You shouldn't smoke! That could give you lung cancer," Jupiter
said. Though she admitted to herself, it did make him look quite dashing.
Burning some plant material in his mouth makes him look dashing, eh?
"Yeah."
Yeah,
Cyanide continued to tremble in rage, hate, and something else. He
didn't realize it but tears began to drip from his eyes. His arms were
trembling ever harder, his knuckles white as he clenched the triggers as
tight as he could yet he fired not. He began to pant and then cry in
earnest.
"Damn, damn, damn, damn, DAMN! You, you...why did you...damnit,
why did you-"
What? Did she kill him in the past or something.
"What did I do?"
You were a cold hearted bitch that tore his heart into little pieces and
laughed about it. But don't worry. That behavior is inherent in all of your
gender. ^_^
The other Senshi circled around her as quiet tears steamed down
her face, lending support and love. They couldn't do anything else. And
Mars looked after him, and knew that for some reason, him hating her was
a fate far worse then death at the hands of the monster that chased them.
And below, unmindful of the scene above, the monster walked
through the store. It had death on it's
repeat after me. 'its'
Nice work. Will get to more later.
