Episode 14

"Preparing for battle"


 

A-51: well, here we go again, the Master is gone and I'm in charge... but this time, I have the second chosen one, I have to hurry up and destroy the Senshi before it's too late... I should go to Totend and make the Master retreat

******

Kinoko meets up with Rei, Usagi, Minako, Ami, and Makoto after school. They begin to head for Rei's temple.

Kinoko: hey, Mako-chan

Makoto: what?

Kinoko: I got Akira to talk to Kyuu-chan

Ami: you did? What did he say?

Kinoko: well, Akira said that Kyuu-chan was too nice to him

Usagi: what?!

Kinoko: I couldn't believe it either, but that's what happened

Makoto: so, he's nice to Akira, but he's not nice to us?

Kinoko: that really ticks me off... Ami, have you talked to Kyuu-chan yet?

Ami: yes, I have

Usagi: we all did

Minako: he told us to leave him alone

Kinoko: geez

Rei: but, Mako-chan did point something out

Kinoko: and what's that?

Rei: well, we'll tell you when we meet up with Luna and Artemis

Kinoko: what? You can't tell me now? That's not fair

After so long, they begin to walk up the temple steps, finding Luna and Artemis.

Kinoko: so, you gonna tell us?

Artemis: tell us what?

Makoto: well, I thought about it, and I think that maybe the Master is controlling Kyuu-chan

Luna: what?!

Artemis: what?!

Kinoko: what?!!

Makoto: it does sound weird, but it has to be true... Kyuu-chan shouldn't be acting this way

Ami: and I agree

Usagi: me too

Kinoko: well... Akira did say that he was acting weird, so maybe it is possible... but why would the Master pick Kyuu-chan {gasp} unless the Master knows who you are Mako-chan!

Luna: what? The Master knows who you are?

Artemis: well now we're in trouble

Makoto: I don't think that the Master knows who I am, if he did don't you think that he would try to get me in school or something?

Artemis: I guess you just have to be careful around Kyuuichirou

Minako: if you think about it, this means that we have to de-brainwash two people, the ninja and Kyuu-chan

Kinoko: the challenges just keep on piling on

Ami: I wonder what the Master gains by doing this

Setsuna: another person for his army

Usagi: Setsuna-san! Michiru! Haruka! Where have you been?

Haruka: we've been trying to find the Master's hideout

Michiru: we couldn't find him though

Setsuna: now, since Kyuuichirou is a part of the Master's army, you never know when he will fight you

Makoto: what?

Usagi: that's right, remember when those monsters talked to us?

Rei: they were regular human beings... just transformed into monsters

Kinoko: oh yeah... all those monsters were humans

Makoto: do you really think they would send Kyuu-chan out to fight us?

Setsuna: it is very possible

Haruka: {gasp} [that's it... they must have seen Kyuuichirou's power when he fought those monsters, they probably needed someone strong to beat us and Kyuuichirou happened to be the person... but, I still feel that there's more to it]

Michiru: is something wrong?

Haruka: no, I'm fine...

Luna: this is really getting out of hand, we have to hurry up and find the Master and defeat him

Artemis: by the way, we still have no luck finding him

Kinoko: I know how to find the Master

Everyone: HOW?

Kinoko: uh... well, I'll just go up to that robot guy, beat him up and make him tell me!

Minako: sounds good

Makoto: do you really think you can do that Kinoko-chan?

Kinoko: hey, it works on people, why not robots?

Usagi: easier said than done

Rei: if the robot was a human, then maybe it might work

Kinoko: you guys just watch

Setsuna: I have a bad feeling... you guys should be careful when you fight the robot and his monsters, and if you find the Master, be careful when you fight him

Ami: we will

Kinoko: we always have

Minako: we'll get the Master and that robot soon

Makoto: I'll get Kyuu-chan back soon

Usagi: and I'll get Mamo-chan

Rei: yeah, sure Usagi, just think about yourself

Usagi: hey, but, they... grrr!

******

Now, Mamoru, Kameko and Myk are somewhere near the plain states of America. Mamoru continues to bug Myk about practicing using his powers.

Mamoru: ok Myk, you see that big rock over there?

Myk: yeah

Mamoru: I want you to blow it up

{BOOM}

Myk: there

Mamoru: (sweat) ok... now make all those pebbles float this way

Myk: what?

Kameko: do what he says Myk

Myk: traitor

Myk looks at the pebbles; nothing happens.

Myk: I can't do that!

Mamoru: sure you can... hey, if you can levitate these pebbles, you might be able to levitate yourself and you can fly

Myk: I think I used to fly once, after I died, I think

Kameko: so, you were an angel, Myk?

Myk: I guess

Kameko: that's cool, you were an angel... did you have a halo?

Myk: I don't remember

Kameko: you're my personal angel, right?

Myk: uh, yeah sure

Kameko: (smiles)

Mamoru: ok, back to the levitating

Myk: {sigh} this is too hard...

{BANG}

Suddenly, Myk catches a bullet that almost hits his face.

Myk: what the...?

Kameko: just making sure that you're paying attention

Myk: Kameko!! You could have killed me!

Mamoru: actually, that was a good idea, it'll help you with your reaction time... and I'd have to say that its pretty good, heh

Myk: hey, you're right

Myk looks at the bullet.

Myk: Kameko, have you killed people before?

Kameko: you mean with my gun?

Myk: yeah?

Kameko: no, but I have been practicing various times shooting at things

Myk: various, heh, you think you'd have a thesaurus on you

Kameko: what ever are you talking about?

******

In space, Beano continues to float.

Beano: is this a dream? Is the earth actually getting closer? Or is it just getting bigger? No, no, I'm getting closer!! I'll be there soon! Hang on everyone!

As Beano gets closer to earth, the Master gets closer to his downfall. On Totend, the Master is having big problems with the Totend Army.

General: sir, this battle isn't looking to good for us... the Totend Army has already destroyed one quarter of our army!

The Master: one fourth?!! Is this out of my entire army, or is it just the army I sent here

General: it's only the army you sent here

The Master: good...

General: not really sir, one quarter is still a bit too many

The Master: grrr... maybe that message was right

General: we are supposed to get a prototype of the Destruction Tank for this battle

The Master: at least our weapon factories are hasty

General: yes sir

The Master: general, leave now

General: yes sir

The general leaves.

The Master: I can't believe it... only a couple of days into battle and I've already lost one fourth of my army... maybe I should quit attacking now, capture the chosen one and the Senshi, then make them join me, and I can attack Totend again... oh yes, and the "Holy Light", that powerful thing A-51 talks about so much, maybe that will help me out

******

Makoto, Minako, Rei and Usagi start walking to Makoto's apartment.

Usagi: Mako-chan, do you have anything to eat?

Rei: ugh...

Makoto: sure

Usagi: good, 'cause I'm hungry

Rei: are you ever not hungry?

Usagi: yeah, when I sleep

Minako: so Mako-chan, how do you think we will get Kyuu-chan back?

Makoto: I'm not sure, maybe I should tell him about what's happening

Minako: he might not even believe what's happening, we can't just go up to him and say, "hey, you've been brain-washed"

Makoto: it does seem far-fetched, but we have to do something about it

Usagi: I'll tell you one thing, I sure would like to get a piece of that stupid robot

Rei: what for?

Usagi: for everything!

Minako: yeah, capturing all those people...

Makoto: destroying everything...

Usagi: and trying to kill us

Rei: good point

Suddenly, A-51 lands in front of everyone, along with the ninja.

Rei: {gasp}

Minako: oh no

Usagi: never mind...

Makoto gets in front of everyone.

Makoto: what do you want?

A-51: oh god, you again...

Usagi: huh?

A-51: you must know where I will appear

Makoto: sorry, but I don't know where you appear, I guess it's just luck

A-51: [why is the chosen one's girlfriend always conveniently where I will be attacking? She's almost as bad as the Senshi... but then, I can test out the chosen one's loyalty to me]

The Ninja: what should we do?

A-51: I dunno... (grabs Makoto by the neck)

Usagi: Mako-chan!

Minako: let her go!

A-51: Mako-chan, eh? Well, well, I'll try to remember that name

Makoto: agh! let go...

A-51: my dear ninja, what should I do?

The Ninja: I only follow your orders

A-51: ok...

A-51 sets Makoto down, punches her in the stomach, and then knocks her down to the pavement.

A-51: beat her up or something, then do the same for the others

The Ninja: as you wish

Usagi runs in front of Makoto.

Usagi: no! Don't!

The ninja jumps in front of Usagi and pushes her away from Makoto. He raises his fist and starts to gather some energy.

Silver Senshi: you better save all your energy!

A-51: oh dammit all

Sailor Mercury and the Silver Senshi appear behind A-51. A-51 turns around.

The Ninja: it looks like the Senshi found us

A-51: such good timing... they just always know where we are too

Sailor Mercury: you better leave them alone

Silver Senshi: you're gonna have to get through me first!

A-51: you just gotta love her fighting spirit... get her

The Ninja: yes

The ninja quickly charges toward the Silver Senshi. The Silver Senshi gets into a fighting stance preparing for impact. Then, the ninja quickly pulls out his kitana and passes by the Silver Senshi and then passes by Sailor Mercury. Afterwards, the ninja appears next to A-51 and sheathes his sword.

Silver Senshi: what the..?

Sailor Mercury: aghh..

All of a sudden, Sailor Mercury's arm starts to bleed and she falls to the ground.

Silver Senshi: Mercury!!

Then, the Silver Senshi's arms and legs start to bleed as well.

Silver Senshi: agh! What happened?

The Silver Senshi begins to stumble around.

A-51: heh, is he too fast for you? Would you like to see him do it in slow motion?

Minako: leave them alone!

Rei: try fighting someone your own size!

A-51: I have, it's just more fun to play with her... hm?

A-51 turns toward the Silver Senshi. She is gathering energy in her right hand.

A-51: damn, get her!

The ninja hesitates a bit.

A-51: what are you doing?!

The Ninja: her power is great...

A-51: forget you

A-51 jumps toward the Silver Senshi at a quick pace.

Just before A-51 reaches her, the Silver Senshi throws the ball of energy at A-51.

Silver Senshi: HAA!!

A-51: damn!

An explosion lights up the area, sending debris everywhere.

The Ninja: what power...

Instantly, the ninja is gone. The light begins to fade.

Silver Senshi: yes... I got him...

The Silver Senshi walks next to Sailor Mercury and helps her up.

Usagi: oh no...

Rei: he's still...

A-51: grrr... you little twit

Silver Senshi: what?! He made it?!

A-51: you will pay for that...

Rei: hey! Your ninja ran away!

A-51: what?! Grr... You just wait little girl, I will find you and your Sailor pals and destroy them one by one... next time we will not let you get away so easy

A-51 disappears.

Silver Senshi: wuss...

Sailor Mercury: what happened?

Silver Senshi: I guess I scared that robot away

Sailor Mercury: way to go

Makoto finally awakens.

Makoto: ugh.. What happened?

Usagi: Mako-chan, you ok?

Makoto: yeah... (gets up)

Rei: Kinoko-chan just beat up that robot

Sailor Mercury and the Silver Senshi walk toward the others.

Silver Senshi: we gotta get some bandages quickly... I feel woozy...

Makoto: god, you're all cut up

Sailor Mercury: the ninja did it

Rei: come on, let's hurry up and do something about those cuts

They begin to head for the apartments.

******

In the secret hiding place, A-51 begins to talk to the ninja.

A-51: what the hell did you do back there? Running away?

The Ninja: I am sorry

A-51: why didn't you just kill them when you had the chance!? But no, you had to play around with them... they want to kill us you know

The Ninja: I understand

A-51: grr, we have to get rid of the Senshi before the Master gets back... he probably wants to take over this planet a.s.a.p.

Soldier: and you're right

A-51: what?

Soldier: the Master sent a message to us ordering us to prepare for take over

A-51: hmm... I guess this means we have to get rid of the Senshi the next time we meet, understand?

The Ninja: yes

A-51: good

******

Kinoko: AHH!! AHH! OW!!

Ami: please hold still

Rei: the more you fidget, the worse it'll hurt

Kinoko: ughh...

Makoto: it looks like the ninja is really under A-51's control

Usagi: yeah, it'll be real tough de-brainwashing him

Minako: we aren't making much progress here

Makoto: if we just find the Master and get rid of him, it'll all be over

Usagi: that's only if we beat him

Makoto: we just have to train ourselves real hard

Kinoko: AHHH!!

Rei: hey, stop screaming in my ear!

Kinoko: it's not my fault that it hurts!

Ami: calm down you two

Makoto: wow, Kinoko sure hates that iodine

Usagi: I know I hate it

Minako: Ami was calmer than that when we put iodine on her

Makoto: well, Kinoko isn't Ami

******

Kameko: come on Myk, make me levitate

Mamoru: you can do it

Myk: ok... {grunts}

Myk clenches his fist and closes his eyes.

Myk: [come on... come on]

Kameko: oh Myk... don't worry, just because you can't make things levitate doesn't mean you won't beat the Master... I'm sure there are other things you're good at

Myk: grrr

Mamoru: {sigh} she's right Myk, you probably don't need to master this

Myk: {grunts}

Suddenly, Myk starts to float up off the ground.

Kameko: {gasp} he's doing it

Mamoru: amazing

Myk: {grunts}

Then, Kameko notices that she's floating off the ground.

Kameko: huh? Oh my god, he did it!

Myk: grrr

Mamoru now starts to float up.

Mamoru: ok Myk, you did it! Now you can let us go

Myk: hmm

A wind begins to pick up and small rocks begin to float up.

Kameko: cool, Myk's doing something

Mamoru: I think he's overdoing it

Myk: HAA!

A big slab of rock suddenly breaks off from the ground and rises from the ground.

Kameko: Myk! Stop it!

Mamoru: Myk, you can quit now!

Myk: grrr... {sigh}

At that moment, everything that was hovering off the ground falls.

Kameko: ouch

Mamoru: ugh... that was kinda strange

Myk: ... (opens his eyes) I did it?

Kameko: yeah, you sure did

Mamoru: try to control it now

Myk: YES! I did it!

******

Myk continues to prepare himself for battle and Kameko and Mamoru stand behind him 100%. The Master continues to try to take over the omnipotent planet Totend. But so far, it seems hopeless for the Master. Also, A-51 and the ninja await a battle with the Sailor Senshi, a battle to the death. The Senshi continue to ponder the whereabouts of the Master and his evil army. And finally, Beano prepares to enter the earth's atmosphere. When Beano finally arrives, will he be able to help the Senshi? And will he be able to find the two chosen ones?
