Chapter 8: A Senshi From Across the Ocean! Fight Against the Blue-Haired Psycho Child! “Shingo-kun?! Is that you?” asked Makoto, hearing footsteps behind her. “Yes, Kino-sempai. Where are we?” asked Usagi’s brother, looking around them. They were in a strange world that looked almost as if they were inside of Mercury’s computer. “Let’s transform; that will be safer,” said Makoto. “Okay. Sun Cosmic Power!” “Jupiter Crystal Power!” “Make Up!” Sailor Jupiter stared in shock. “What the--Shingo-kun, you turned into a GIRL Senshi!” she exclaimed. “Yeah, well, I guess Senshi have to be girls,” said Sailor Sun, blushing. “Oh well, at least I’m not the only Senshi here. You know, I hear your sister used to have to be the only Senshi, until Ami-chan came along to help as Sailor Mercury,” said Sailor Jupiter. “Really? Stupid Usagi used to fight ALONE?!” Sailor Sun exclaimed, sounding rather impressed. “Well, lets explore this land...YAAAH!” Sailor Jupiter screamed as a bunch of giant numbers flew at her. “Let’s beat those dumb digits! Solar Energy Blast!” “Jupiter Oak Evolution!” The two attacks exploded in the air, blasting numbers everywhere. “Well, numbers aren’t as good as flowers, but I need to take what I can get,” said an elegant, girlish voice. The two Senshi whipped around and saw CereCere standing on a floating pink sphere. “What?! I thought you and your friends turned to our side! What are you doing attacking us?!” asked Sailor Jupiter. “And who are you, anyway?” added Sailor Sun, who, unlike the experienced brunette standing next to her, didn’t know who any of the old villains were. “Mystina gave me a new way to have fun, and showed me the true way to be! Now, smell my flowers!” shouted CereCere, throwing giant flowers at them. “AAAAH!!! Who IS this?!” Sailor Sun cried, trying to dodge the flying flowers. “She’s CereCere, part of the Amazoness Quartet. They used to be our enemies, but I thought they had turned to good,” said Sailor Jupiter, confused. “Are you through discussing my past, giantess girl?” CereCere taunted. “Hey! Taiki-chan’s taller than me, and she’s younger! Jupiter Oak Evolution!” shouted Sailor Jupiter, shooting her attack at CereCere, who jumped out of them way, but fell off her floating ball, crashing on the ground below. The ball, now free from her influence, fell as well and landed on her head. “How dare you, insolent Sailor Pumpkins!” shouted CereCere, throwing even bigger flowers at them. “Solar Energy Blast!” “Jupiter Oak Evolution” The two Senshi attacked again, not aiming for CereCere but for a giant pi symbol that was flying at the three of them. It exploded, sending CereCere through a never-ending warp hole. The two Senshi were teleported back to their individual homes, just like the others, the Silence Glaive flying behind them mysteriously. Meanwhile, back in the park, PallaPalla was laughing manically at Tuxedo Mask and Princess Fireball. Suddenly they heard a voice behind them. “Hey! I saw you on the news, Tuxedo Mask!” They turned around and saw who it was. It was a short girl of about 4’ 6” in height. She was decidedly fat, and she had brown eyes framed by thick, horn-rimmed glasses. She wore her rainbow-striped hair in a ponytail as well. “Who are you? How do you know my name?” asked Tuxedo Mask. “I said, I saw you on the news. I am Pikachu Miller, and I have been looking for you and the other Sailor Senshi. I’ve always wanted to go to Japan, and now I can finally live here with you Senshi! I’m from America, by the way. And I am Sailor Aurora. It looks like you need my help. Aurora Rainbow Power, Make Up!” As PallaPalla, Princess Fireball and Tuxedo Mask stared, shocked, this strange foreign girl suddenly transformed into a Sailor Senshi! When the light faded, Pikachu was standing there, looking as she did always, but now she was wearing a typical Sailor Senshi outfit, rainbow-striped for the most part with silver bows. “Sailor Aurora. I’ve heard of that name before, but I just can’t place it,” said Princess Fireball, furrowing her brow in thought. Sailor Aurora stepped up to her, a very interested look in her eyes. “Wow...that is so fascinating...I love thinking furrowed brows...” she breathed, clearly transfixed by the concentration-caused wrinkles that were between the alien Princess’s eyebrows. “Hey! No fun for PallaPalla! Pay attention to me!” shouted the attention-starved circus girl. “How dare you interrupt my fun! Aurora Rainbow Beams Slash!” shouted Sailor Aurora, and she shot six rainbow beams at PallaPalla, who flew aside nimbly on her little floating blue ball. “So, you want more fun? Have fun with PallaPalla’s doll!” retorted PallaPalla, and she shot her own energy beams out of a Sailor Moon doll, knocking Sailor Aurora back. “Don’t use the figure of Sailor Moon for evil! Take this!” Tuxedo Mask scolded, and he threw a rose at PallaPalla, who merely caught it. “PallaPalla caught a pretty flower!” she giggled. Noticing their enemy was distracted, Princess Fireball picked up a rock and threw it at PallaPalla, causing her to lose balance and fall off her ball. Tuxedo Mask and Sailor Aurora took the chance. “Aurora Rainbow Beams Slash!” The energy beams flew with the rose, and both destroyed PallaPalla upon impact.
