"Goodbye, Dumplinghead."
"Goodbye, Mamo-chan. Be sure to call soon!" Sailor Moon said, stepping
out of Mamoru's arms and over to the other scouts, linking her hands
with Mars' and Mercury's.
"I will, Usako," he said, as the Scouts charged up and vanished into
thin air returning to Japan. Mamoru looked at the spot where they stood
for a moment, then headed for the stairwell, wondering when he would see
his love again...

| Chapter 9: Cleanup in Aisle 4 |
| By Rei |
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mamoru looked the apartment over. And over. And over again. A large
bead of sweat formed on the back of his head. The apartment was
trashed! Having the girls spend the night was a Bad Idea. They had
stayed up most of the night because of the time difference. And HE was
responsible. *Sigh* and he had to clean it up because his roommates
had classes today. <Better get started...>
Three hours later, he was busy finishing up. <Just need to put these
shirts in this closet and I'll be do--> He stopped and stared at the
floating sword in the closet. It was the same sword Killian used
against him before. The Excalibur.
A beautifully handcrafted shining blade, arcane rune's covering it and
it's leather hilt. He KNEW the sword. Yet now it was different. It is
the same sword yet it wasn't. It seemed to be... well not as dark,
brighter and less evil looking... and he felt a pull from it toward
him. A tug. A will.
He stared at it with rapt attention as his hand slowly reached toward it
as if under its own will. His fingers graced the blade, and ran up it,
coming to rest on the handle. He griped it and a silver light flowed
off the tip of the blade, across the sword and up his arm, coating the
sword and Mamoru completely. Then it shattered.
And there stood Tuxedo Mask, in his black Tux. But instead of white, it
was lined with a silvery material, to match the new silver cane he held
in his hand.
He looked down and studied his new outfit, then closed his eyes and
shifted, his tux becoming armor and the cane doubling in length to
become the sword Excalibur again. The blade was perfectly polished with
a hilt of white stone. He studied the sword, giving it a few test
swings, Then Suddenly looked up. "Trouble." he muttered, and changed
back to Tuxedo mask. Seconds later, he was out the window.
~~~~~~~~~~
Sally looked up and out the window. Something strange was going on out
there. Something bad. She looked up at the clock, and back to the
test. <And I'm stuck here.> *Sigh* she thought as she went back to her
test, trying to ignore the tug from outside...
~~~~~~~~~~
Kelly and Keith looked up at the attack occurring right outside the
caf�, and they were not impressed. The yoma seemed to either be blind,
an idiot, or a very bad shot. All he'd managed to drain so far were
three pigeons, and a Doberman. They calmly sliped into the back room.
"NIGHT COSMIC ENERGY!"
"SOLAR FLARE COSMIC ENERGY!"
They yelled as they changed. Leaping out the back window, they ran
around to the front of the store, arriving at the same time as Tuxedo
mask.
"Wow. New suit." Nightshade muttered, distracted by Tuxedo Mask's new
outfit, didn't see the car the yoma threw at him.
Solaris DID notice, so she dove at Nightshade and pushed him away,
rolling across the ground with him in her arms.
"AAAHHHGGGHHRR!! *Sob Sob* I can't even Aim right!" Aardvarkden yelled
and rushed the group, looking kind of silly with tears streaming from
his eyes.
Tuxedo Mask sighed, then shrugged. He held his cane out, and charged
forward with a battle cry of "CHARGING CANE SLASH!" He suddenly seemed
to vanish and reappear behind Aardvarkden. Putting his cane away, he
turned back to the yoma, only to find it was still there..
"I'm alive? I'm ALIVE!!!" Aardvarkden jumped up and down. Only to find
that Tuxedo Mask and the American senshi were staring at him strangely.
He felt a sicking sensation and droped to the ground. He reached out to
tried and pull the dust back into himself. "No. NOOOOoooooo...." he
yelled, blowing away in the wind.
"I think I'll stick to the original version..." Tuxedo Mask said,
nodding to the two American senshi, and then leaping to the rooftop.
~~~~~~~~~~
Bloutite winced as he shifted the weight off his left foot. <I'm pretty
sure it's broken. She's getting more and more unstable each day. If...>
"Aww. Look how much the great Bloutite has fallen. Did he hurt his
foot?" The short redhead said, tapping Blounite's foot with her toe.
"AHAHHHGGRRRGHGHGH!!!" Bloutite screamed. And glared at the young
woman. "Go away, Espenite. You know the qu... er, The Lady doesn't like
us fighting."
"But I wasn't picking on you. I was just... feeding." She said,
grinning. <And confirming that my listening device was working.>
"Anyways, the Lady wanted to see me. See you around, Bloutite." She
waved at him as she entered the Lady's chamber.
"AH. ESPENITE... I SEE YOU ARE HERE." The Lady Said, while recoiling
her whip and attaching it to her belt.
"Yes, my lady. I am here to report that most of my advanced tactics
class has been given their projects and will be implementing them at the
end of the month. We should have plenty of energy at our disposal
within a week, with little or no effect on our victims. If everything
goes to plan. I also have plenty of free time since the students'
projects require very little supervision. I could take over another's
class or do some more subbing for the others..." Espenite saID, bowing
on one knee to the Lady.
"AH. GOOD. SOON, THE CITY WILL BE OURS. AND MY REVENGE WILL BE
COMPLEAT... BA AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" the lady Cackled.
"Umm. Sure." Espenite said, as she sweatdropped. "so I should be
getting back to class now. Bye!"
Espenite then finished in a blurred teleport, though the Lady was too
into her maniacal laughing to notice...
~~~~~~~~~~
Athena looked up at her Student and frowned, her cute little nose
twitching. "Well, it wasn't my fault you stepped on your pen. At least
you retained your abilities."
"Yes it was. You're the one who told me to transform and let you examine
the pen! You're the one who knocked it off the table!!" The young lady
was wearing black windbreaker, a 49'ers T-shirt, Nike shoes, and cut-off
Jean short said. She looked down at the heavily modified gun in her
glowing white hand, then to the three crystal tipped bullets in her
other hand. "#@$@! Only three oracons left. Need a distraction." The
girl looked around, her eyes coming to rest on Athena. "Hmmmm."
"I tried to warn you! you... HEY! PUT ME DOWN!!!" The bunny screamed,
squirming.
"Well, Athena, it's up to you." The girl said, smirking.
"Nononononno you're not!" The bunny screamed before being flung into
the air. Her screams were barely heard as the sky around her filled
with energy attacks.
The girl was already rising, her gun shutting closed as she brought it
inline with the yoma and took aim. The yoma spoted her, but it is too
late for them to turn their aim from the bunny to the girl.
*BAMBAMBAM*
The three yoma slumped to the ground, headless. "Perfect. As always."
she said.
Athena winced as her body impacted the ground a meter away from the
girl. "Don't do that! That hurt! AAHH!!!" the bunny's eyes went wide
as she watched a tank with a yoma hanging out the top roll over a nearby
hill.
The girl looked over her shoulder. "Oh, $#%#!!" she swore as she
holstered her gun, scooped up the bunny, and ran like hell. She dashed
foward along the edge of a clff overlooking the Golden Gate Bridge.
Running for her life.
NOTES:
Oracons: forgot exactly where I found these. A type of bullets tipped
with orihalcon crystal. Very effective VS. magical creatures.
Writer's Notes:
Well. Filler stuff for the series.
A slight power up for Mamoru. Just the cane is a little stronger. Same
attacks though.
Espenite. Got her from a pervious part. She is the substitute. Also,
the eventual replacement for Bloutite.
And as for that last part, well, let's just say it's a glimpse of the
problems the last member has been having. And where she and Athena are
going.
I would also like to thank Lawrance and Kate. they preread my part. and
it would have been a lot worse if they had not been there.
