"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... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | A WTF Production | | Tuxedo America: | | 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. Three hours later, he was busy finishing up. 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. *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 café, 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. "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. "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.
