Chapter 17: Pretty Sick Sailor Soldiers?  Battle For the Cure!
    “Goodbye, Hotaru-chan.  Hope you can find a cure for this disease 
at school,” said Michiru, sighing a bit as she snuggled deeper into the 
couch the next morning.  “I don’t get this.  We’re still just as sick as 
before.  What kind of disease is this?” Haruka growled.  “I’m not sure.  
I heard that it could be cured if we were to fight a monster and win,” 
said Setsuna weakly, sipping some green tea that Hotaru had fixed for 
her earlier.  Suddenly Bertie, Avery, and Prizma of the Four Sisters 
burst through the door, knocking it off the hinges.  “Where’s that 
scythe-wielding girl who killed our sister with that blue-haired nerd?!” 
shouted Avery.  “Hotaru-chan killed someone?” Michiru asked sleepily, 
not quite knowing who these strange girls were.  “Yes!  She and that 
Sailor Mercury twit!” snapped Prizma.  “Sailor Mercury--is this a 
battle?” asked Haruka.  She started to get up, leaned too much on the 
coffee table, and knocked it over, the nearby lamp landing on her.  “Oh 
no!  Haruka!” Michiru gasped, standing up quickly.  Just as quickly, 
though, she felt very dizzy and promptly fell over onto Haruka, who now 
had a lamp, the coffee table, and Michiru on top of her.  Meanwhile, 
Avery, Bertie, and Prizma had cornered Setsuna.  “Do you know where 
Sailor Saturn is?” snarled Bertie, shining a flashlight into Setsuna’s 
garnet eyes.  “I swear by the power of Pluto that I will not reveal that 
information,” said Setsuna firmly.  “Are you so sure about that, stoic 
Time Guardian?” jeered Prizma as her hands started to crackle with 
electricity.  “Michiru, help me!  We need to save Setsuna-san!” gasped 
Haruka, feeling crushed underneath her trap.  “Yes, that’s right.  We’re 
Sailor Senshi.  Neptune Crystal Power, Make Up!” Michiru pulled herself 
to her feet, leaning against the couch, and transformed.  Then she 
pulled the furniture off her lover.  “Uranus Crystal Power, Make Up!”  
Now both Senshi were transformed and angry.

    Setsuna’s situation was still dire though.  Struggling not to 
scream from the pain of Prizma’s attack, she started to inch her hand to 
her pocket, where her trusty transformation stick was kept.  “Oh no you 
don’t,” snapped Avery as she tied up Setsuna’s hands with her whip 
attack.  “You let her go!” shouted a voice.  “Who’s there?” asked 
Prizma, saving Setsuna from more shocks for the time being.  “Invited by 
the New Age, I am Sailor Uranus, appearing gracefully!”  “Same here, I 
am Sailor Neptune!”  “Sailor Your-Anus?!  Never heard of that name.  Who 
are you, some psycho in a skirt who likes to talk about people’s butts?” 
snarled Bertie.  “Don’t speak to me like that!  World Shaking!” Sailor 
Uranus shouted, rolling her energy ball at them.  Unfortunately, the 3 
sisters jumped out of the way, and the attack hit Setsuna.  “Haruka!  
Watch where you’re attacking!  Let’s call some of the other Senshi for 
help,” said Sailor Neptune, but before she could reach the phone, Prizma 
grabbed it and threw it out the window, where it promptly smashed on the 
street.  “Our phone!  You’ll pay for that!  World...Michiru, I’m dizzy,” 
Sailor Uranus moaned as she stumbled and crashed into Sailor Neptune.

    “Haruka, try to get help somehow.  Setsuna-san is bleeding over 
there, and is barely conscious,” gasped Sailor Neptune, trying to 
breathe under Sailor Uranus’s weight.  “I’ll try to help Setsuna-san 
while you divert those three villains, okay?” said Sailor Uranus, 
pulling herself to her feet.  “I’ll try,” answered Sailor Neptune, also 
getting to her feet.  Sailor Uranus started to make her way to the 
fallen Setsuna, but Bertie blocked her path.  Meanwhile, Avery and 
Prizma ganged up on Sailor Neptune, who was leaning on the couch again, 
feeling nauseated.  Then, losing much of her usual grace, Sailor Neptune 
vomited on the two sisters.  Prizma and Avery screamed with disgust and 
backed away from the aqua-haired warrior.  By that time, Setsuna had 
started to get up and finally got her transformation stick.  Shouting 
“Pluto Crystal Power, Make Up!”, she transformed into Sailor Pluto.  Now 
that all three of them were transformed, things looked a bit worse for 
the Black Moon sisters.  “Dead Scream.”  “World Shaking!”  “Deep 
Submerge!”  Each Senshi shot her attack at a different one of the 
sisters.  This time, they were all luckily on target, and the three 
villains were destroyed, as well as the disease that had been plaguing 
the Outer Senshi.  Finally they were cured, just like Taiki!
