Chapter 106

"Mimette, did you even bother to find out if that temple had been attacked before?" The Dark One hissed.

"Well..I didn't think to," Mimette said.

"You are such a fool Mimette."

"Possibly Dark One, but if I had enough firepower...I was thinking I could trap the scouts, not destroy them, but trap them...then I could uhm...well...get all the hearts you need. Then we would let the scouts go."

"Hmm...for once you are making some sense," The Dark One said and stood walking down the steps of her throne. "That will do Mimette, despite your failure you will have five daimons to command, go and make up a plan and bring it to me."

"Yes Dark One!" Mimette said and ran out.

"Puchirol! Cyprine!" The Dark One shouted. The two figures emerged from the shadows.

"I would be foolish to entrust such a mission to her, I have a different plan in mind," The Dark One said.

"We are listening your Darkness," Puchirol and Cyprine said.

At Juuban High School.

"Urawa Motoki, he's living at your house?" Serena asked.

"Only till tomorrow, I really hate him, but he was a student of my grandfather," Raye said.

"Do you have a picture of him?" Mina asked.

"Why would I?" Raye asked.

"We must have pictures," Lita said.

"Mina's gotten to you hasn't she?" Serena said.

"Absolutely not, it was my own choice," Lita said.

"Since there are no pictures we will have to go on your description alone," Mina said. "What is his height?"

"I don't know six-four I guess," Raye said.

"Weight?" Lita asked.

"I didn't weigh him?" Raye snapped.

"Is he muscular?" Mina asked.

"Yes," Raye said.

"Perfect," Mina said.

"He's mine," Lita said.

"What?"

"You heard me."

"I thought you wanted Masamune Sakaki."

"No, you can have him, I want Urawa Motoki."

"I want Motoki."

"You can have either Sakaki or Himura, why do you need Motoki?"

"Because he's muscular Lita."

"That's why I like him," Lita said. "You should get someone that has more in common with you."

"I'm plenty muscular," Mina said.

"Where? Your butt?" Lita snapped.

"Hey!" Mina asked.

"Actually there are quite powerful muscles in the..." Amy began.

"Amy!" The other four said.

"Huh..I guess that was more than you needed to know..." Amy said shyly and turned back to her book.

"Listen Lita, I saw him first," Mina said.

"You haven't seen him at all," Lita said.

"I saw Raye first, and she saw him first."

"So he's mine then right?" Raye asked.

"What?" The other two said.

"Well...isn't it?" Raye asked.

"You have no right to stake a claim," Mina said.

"Exactly," Lita said.

"Why not?" Raye asked.

"Because..you are not part of the sisterhood," Mina said.

"The what?" Serena, Raye, and Amy muttered.

"Yes, the sisterhood for wayward um...girls...in search of substitute boyfriends," Lita said.

"There they go with that whole substitute boyfriends thing again," Serena said.

"There is nothing wrong with it," Mina said. "It's the same concept as a substitute teacher."

"Only it's entirely different," Serena said.

"Yes," Mina said.

"No Mina," Lita said nudging her.

"That's right. No!" Mina said and stood up. "I believe that a girl when separated from her guy by either a large distance or a short distance in the case of your boyfriend being arrested and thrown in state prison, should have the right to acquire a new boyfriend for the interim period."

Lita stood up.

"With the provision that if the substitute boyfriend turns out to be a better performer in all activities, he will be able to continue as boyfriend from that point on," Lita said.

"Right," Mina said. "This is all assuming the substitute boyfriend has signed a contract freeing the girlfriend of all liability should she choose to dump him at any point during the time period."

"It will be done on acetate paper so each person in the couple may have a copy of the contract," Lita said.

"See..it's very clear," Mina said and sat down.

Lita did as well.

The entire cafeteria was looking at them.

"What?" Mina said.

"We're with you Mina," came one girl's shout from another end of the cafeteria.

"Yeah," another girl said.

"Ehh...you girls better watch it, we're onto ya!" the captain of the American Style Football team shouted back.

"Oh are you!" the cheerleading captain shrieked back.

"Yeah!"

And the entire cafeteria erupted into an argument between the girls and the boys over Mina and Lita's new theory.

"Good work you two," Serena muttered.

"Hey, you see what value we have for this system," Mina said.

"Besides, you would be with us on this too if Darrien was away," Lita said.

"Hah! I think what you're doing is wrong...even if you are right about me being with you..that still doesn't mean it's good," Serena said.

"Well..it can't hurt can it?" Raye said.

"What? Raye?" Serena said.

"Well..if I found someone, not Chad of course, he's too tempting, but maybe Urawa Motoki could become a very interesting catch, at least for now," Raye said.

"But Raye..." Amy began.

"No...this is just for fun Amy, don't worry..." Raye said.

"Urawa Motoki is mine!" Mina said.

"Only if I'm dead," Lita said.

"So be it," Mina said.

"Ehh.." Lita said.

"You two have no idea who you're dealing with," Raye said. She turned to Amy and Serena.

"To tell you the truth, I don't want to go out with Urawa, I just want to mess with Mina and Lita's minds," Raye said.

"Oh..okay..that's different," Serena said.

"Just don't live the part too much," Amy suggested.

"I'll be fine," Raye said.

"Pistols at dawn!" Mina shouted.

"We don't have any pistols," Lita said.

"Then make it at Noon then, we can buy some," Mina said.

"You're overreacting," Lita said.

"I know, but I'm starting to like all this," Mina said with a grin.

Mimette leaned against her beat up car and looked at Juuban High School.

"There it is, I'll simply hold the school hostage, and force the Sailor Scouts to surrender," Mimette said. "But how to do it? We'll see....the students all eat lunch at the same hour don't they? Yes that should be the perfect time. But I will present my plan to the Dark One and then come back tomorrow. This has to work."

She got into the car and drove off.

After school in Amy's room.

"So...I'm going over to watch the fun at Raye's place in a few minutes, you coming?" Serena asked.

"No, I've got work to do, I'm afraid some of our latest exploits have distracted me," Amy said.

"What are you only nine chapters ahead?"

"Actually, I'm only a couple of chapters ahead in all my classes, the material isn't that easy and biology is well..never mind," Amy said.

"Oh..I see..." Serena said. "Well maybe you should keep working then."

"Serena? There is one thing."

"Yeah Amy?" Serena asked.

"Well...I was wondering...when I was talking on the phone yesterday with Raye..well..she said that I had two love interests...and..I was wondering if you knew what that meant."

"Oh...I...don't know...um...well..." Serena said.

"Serena...please be honest with me."

"Okay..fair enough...Amy..it's just that we thought you knew."

"Knew what?"

"Well..don't you know there are two guys in love with you. I mean isn't it obvious from your point of view?"

"For one thing Serena, if you mean Greg's one of them, that's different, and I guess you might all think he's a love interest, but as for a second."

"Amy! You've gotta be kidding, do I have to come out and spell it out to you."

"Yes."

"Start with a P and end with an N and that's what you get."

"You're wrong about that, he's just a good friend."

"A good friend, maybe. But if you ask me, and if you ask us, you're a regular Persephone."

"What?"

"You know the Greek wife of Ulysses Grant or something...you know the Odyssey thing..by Homer Simpson."

Amy burst out laughing.

"What?" Serena asked.

"You mean Penelope, wife of Ulysses in the Odyssey by Homer."

"I was only wrong about her name then."

Amy grinned shyly again.

"But you see you have all these suitors is what I'm saying."

"Serena, I appreciate you answering me, but I really think you and Raye and whoever else thinks it is wrong."

"Oh come on Amy, the entire school's figured it out."

"What?" Amy said in shock.

"Sure, word travels fast, come on everyone wants to know about the romance of the girl genius, the boy genius, and the former maniac. This is big stuff."

"So have you been spreading rumors Serena?" Amy said.

"Absolutely not, to tell you the truth I haven't had too."

"I see....oh well..." Amy said. "You'd better get to Raye's, don't want to miss anything do you?"

"No I guess not," Serena said and walked out.

"That's all I need," Amy muttered and glanced at her wall covered with her pictures of her friends. Her eyes focused on the two she had sitting next to each other, one of Greg and the other of Patterson.

"I had to meet both of you didn't I?" She muttered and turned back to her book.

Urawa Motoki moved along the ground towards the Hino grave site behind the temple. Sitting there were the graves of Raye's parents and her Grandfather. Motoki knelt before the graves and began to pray.

Unknown to him, peering around a corner was Mina and Lita.

"Here's the deal, we each get to try our different methods, and whoever wins, wins," Mina said.

"Fine, I'm first," Lita said.

"No, me.." Mina said.

"Why you?"

"Let's not get into this."

"Will you two shut up, he might hear you," Raye hissed from behind them. "Don't disturb him while he's praying to the dead."

"You already have," Motoki said turning to face them. The three all froze.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Uh..nothing..we...were just..checking the walls...we had some repair work done," Raye said.

"Couldn't it wait until my prayer was finished?" Motoki said.

"Of course, and I was trying to tell my two idiotic friends here that, they're a bit slow," Raye said.

"Understandable," Motoki said.

"Hey!" Lita and Mina said.

"Uh..we'll go now," Raye said and pulled the other two away.

"Ehh..females are necessary for bearing children, otherwise..." Motoki muttered and turned back to his prayer.

The next day in the late morning.

Mimette crept along the side of the school followed closely by her daimons.

"Okay, you understand the mission right. We'll jump in, zap a bunch of them and grab some more then threaten to kill them if the scouts don't show up," Mimette said.

The daimons nodded.

"Then let's do it," Mimette said. One of the daimons launched an attack which blasted the wall to the cafeteria away. The group burst into the room and zapped several of the nearby students. The daimons then shot out energy that enveloped most of the students.

"Now.." Mimette began. "Sailor Scouts..show yourself."

The scouts, all hiding amongst the crowd of unzapped students, wondered what they should do.

"Come out now, or I will kill all these students," Mimette said.

The scouts all glanced at each other and realized that they may have to reveal themselves.

Then a strange thing happened. Mimette was hit with a blast of energy and blown apart. The daimons all looked around in surprise and then let go of their prisoners and went running out the hole in the wall.

"What happened?" Raye asked in surprise.

"Yeah, who hit that woman?" Lita said.

"Does it matter? Someone did?" Serena asked.

"I don't know, it could be important," Amy said.

"Yeah...the other scouts are on the moon, who could have possibly destroyed her?" Mina asked.

"They're gone aren't they?" Serena said.

There was massive commotion as sirens wailed and Principal Oksua rushed into the cafeteria.

"What happened here? Where's the wall?" Oksua asked.

Minutes later everyone had been sent home while things were figured out.

"Wow this is great, evil enemies attack and we go home early," Serena said.

"This just doesn't make sense, there has to be more to it," Amy said.

"Well..maybe..the evil forces just got tired of that woman losing all the time and they blew her up," Serena said. "See you guys later," she said and headed off in another direction.

"Maybe we can catch Motoki before he leaves," Lita said.

"Good idea," Mina said.

And the two rushed down the street.

"Oh no you don't!" Raye shouted and followed.

"This doesn't seem right at all..." Amy said.

She noticed a rose lying in the snow. She looked up to see Darrien's sports car sitting in front of the school. She hurried over to it.

"Darrien, you knew there was trouble," Amy said.

"Yes, get in," Darrien said. Amy did just that.

Darrien revved the car up and pulled away.

"I just arrived, but I heard what happened."

"There was no explanation for how Mimette could have been destroyed," Amy said.

"You think it was a trick?"

"I certainly think it was possible, I mean it's a very unconventional attack. The other scouts have already written it off. I don't think so."

Something started making noise.

"What's that?" Amy asked.

"I picked up a police scanner," Darrien said. "Felt it might keep me informed if anything really nasty happened. Let's see if there's anything out of the ordinary."

"All units, there has been another abnormal attack in progress as Central Junior High School..." the dispatcher said.

"There it is," Darrien said and sped the car up.

Amy pulled out her communicator.

"Amy to all scouts, come in," Amy said.

"What is it Amy. You shouldn't use these things for unofficial business," Serena said.

"It's not unofficial the negaverse is attacking Central Junior High!"

"It is!"

"What?" Raye said.

"We saw a diversion or something," Amy said.

"Well time to go back to work," Serena muttered.

"Don't worry I'll be there too," Darrien said into Amy's communicator.

"You're there...with Amy? How?" Serena said.

"Oh didn't I tell you Serena, I'm dumping you and making Amy my new girlfriend," Darrien said.

"WHAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT!" Serena said.

"He's kidding Serena," Amy said. "I am flattered though Darrien."

"Sure thing Amy," Darrien said.

"We're about to go through a tunnel Amy, you ready to transform," Darrien said.

"Sure," Amy said.

The red car sped through the dark tunnel, when they emerged, it was Tuxedo Mask at the wheel, and Sailor Mercury in the passenger seat.

"Hurry up! Get those hearts!" Puchirol and Cyprine shouted. The daimons moved amongst the crowd of unconscious students gathering up as many pure hearts as they could. They heard sirens.

"Oh..looks like the local law enforcement is here...guess we should take care of them," Puchirol and Cyprine said.

"Why don't I just handle it?" Puchirol said.

"If you want," Cyprine said.

"Very well...you supervise."

"Sure, just don't stay away too long."

"No problem."

Puchirol then moved out the doors of Central Junior High and out towards the cops. She sent an energy blast at them which they ducked while it smashed through some of their cars.

"You know she kind looks like my first wife," Chief Ozaki muttered from behind his car and started laughing.

"Well Chief, having a little trouble," came a familiar voice. Ozaki looked to see General Nagumo crouching nearby.

"About time you showed up," Ozaki said. "What have you got planned?"

A tank rumbled by and over a patrol car.

"Hey, those things aren't cheap you know!" Ozaki shouted.

"Neither was the tank," Nagumo said with a grin.

"Hah! Let's give them a pasting boys!" Colonel William Patterson shouted from the cockpit of the tank.

"Oh please," Puchirol shouted and sent an energy blast at the tank. The tank was hit and caught fire.

"Aw...is that the best they can do," Patterson said and drove the tank forward.

"Hmmm...that's annoying," Puchirol said and jumped out of the way before launching another energy blast which flew the tank several feet into a tree.

"Well that did it," Patterson muttered.

"Hah! You humans are just wasting your time," Puchirol said.

A rose smashed into the snow and blasted it away such that it stuck into the ground.

"Uh oh.." Puchirol said.

"I don't know why you evil forces hate schools as much as the students do, but I'm afraid that I cannot let you continue with these attacks," Tuxedo Mask said standing on top of a patrol car.

"Hey...you dent the paint standing up there," Ozaki said.

"Eh..come on and fight me cape boy," Puchirol said.

"Fine," Tuxedo Mask said and sent his fighting staff flying out. Puchirol stepped out of the way.

"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" Mercury shouted. The attack flew out instantly and enveloped Puchirol in a fog.

"What?" Puchirol said. "Uh oh!" she shouted and jumped up instinctively. A barrage of roses flew below her.

Cyprine inside could sense her sister's plight telepathically.

"They're here," she said. "Daimons! Get out of here! Now! Back to the van!"

How stupid travelling to and from battles in a van. She thought.

"Mars Fire Ignite!"

"Jupiter Thunder Crash!"

"Venus Crescent Beam Smash!"

The three attacks flew in the windows of the cafeteria and knocked three of the daimons backward.

"Moon Tiara Magic!" Sailor Moon shouted and through her discus. It hit a fourth daimon and knocked it off it's feet. The four sailor scouts ran in the door.

"It's too late..." Cyprine muttered.

"What do we do?" Puchirol said hurrying up.

"We run," the two said in unison and they dashed out the door.

"Jupiter Thunderclap Zap!"

"Venus Love Chain Encircle!"

"Mars Celestial Fireball Surround!"

"Mercury Ice Storm Blast!" Mercury shouted as she leapt in the door.

"Moon Spiral Hearts Attack!" Sailor Moon shouted. Attacks flew out and hit each of the daimons. The daimons shouted out battle cries and ran at the five scouts.

"Duck!" Jupiter said. The scouts dived out of the way. The daimon's stumbled and hit the ground, their death rush over. The pure hearts they had captured all started returning to their hosts.

"I wonder why that's happening," Sailor Mercury said.

"It's a good thing it is though. I mean...after all...it wouldn't be easy to track down whose hearts belonged to who," Jupiter said.

"Is everything all right in here?" General Nagumo asked walking in with Chief Ozaki, and a very dirty William Patterson.

"We chased them off, things should be fine," Sailor Mars said.

"That's good, but two attacks in one day, could their be three?" Ozaki asked.

"It's always a possibility, but hopefully it won't happen," Mercury said.

"Hmm....we'll remain on full alert anyway and someone find Maxfield Stanton," Nagumo asked and walked out.

"I'm right here General," Stanton said walking up.

"Oh..there you are, perhaps you can make some sense of all this," Nagumo said.

"I'll try, but this seems to be very out of my league," Stanton said.

"Whatever you can do," Nagumo said.

"Of course," Stanton said.

"Well you were right Mercury, it was just a diversion," Sailor Moon said.

"We should listen to you more often," Venus said.

"Yes, you should especially with your school work," Mercury said.

"Uh...that's a different story entirely," Venus said.

"Still...we don't exactly now what's going on? What are they after?" Jupiter said.

"That I have yet to figure out," Mercury said. "But I'll see if I can do something to change that."
