"Sailor Moon! Wake up!" Sailor Venus, who was heretofore unmentioned because the current author tossed her in for convenience's sake, shouted. "The Yoma-of-the-week is actually going to wreak some havoc! He might send some people to another dimension! Oops, wrong dub. Hey, wake up! WAKE U--" She was cut off and Sailor Mars simply walked over and kicked Sailor Moon in the head. The other sailors were going to protest, but were quite startled when Sailor Moon actually rose from the ground, albeit clutching her head almost comically. "No time to lose!" Venus shouted as she picked up Usagi's locket and tossed it to her. "Hurry up and transform! For real this time!" Usagi blinked at the locket. "But this doesn't go with my outfit!" she whined as she pointed at her brand new Team Rocket Uniform(tm). Venus groaned. "Just shout 'MOON PRISM POWER!' and GET ON WITH IT!" "Oh, fine," Usagi sighed dramatically. "MOON PRISM POWER!" The generic henshin sequence began, with the Team Rocket uniform dissolving, Usagi's naked flesh revealed to all around her...including Usagi herself, who opened her eyes and passed out again. Everybody let out a groan, except for Mercury, whose hard drive suddenly went whirling, setting her back to drool mode. * * * * * ROCKET SCIENCE Chapter Four of Three: Rusty Gears by Lawrence Chu original starter by Illyria * * * * * "Forget it!" grumbled Venus, as she ran down the street into the heart of the city where Dark General Petrified Woodite had sent his Yoma to perform some nefarious deed. Mars followed behind, carring a still-naked Usagi like a shapely lolicon flag with meatballs in its hair. "Halt, evil yoma!" Venus shouted as she spotted the monster trying to go door-to-door selling couch insurance. "Attempting to secure funds through...um...immoral practi..." She turned to her teammates. "These speeches aren't my specialty. Is Usagi still passed out--" None of them were there. "PREPARE FOR TROUBLE!" Sailor Mars' voice echoed in the distance. "AND MAKE IT DOUBLE!" responded Sailor Moon, also from nowhere. Several lines about 'protecting devastation' and 'surrendering to blasts of light' or something, a double swan-dive from a rooftop onto the yoma's head, and a triple-KO later, Venus decided she didn't know these people and skirted off nervously, much to the delight of the fanbo*OW!* "That's SKIRTED OFF, not TOOK MY SKIRT OFF, you PERVERT!" Venus shouted as she launched a Venus Love Me Chain through the fourth wall and at the author. But back to the story. Luna walked up to the unconscious pair and the yoma and pawed them awake. (The pair, not the yoma.) "Are you guys all right?" The pair's eyes snapped open, and with a quick flash of light, neither the yoma nor Luna were there. A pair of pokeballs clattered to the ground in their place, and Rei and Usagi clapped and happydanced. * * * * * "What do you have for me now?" Giovanni growled into his viewscreen. "Two new samples, Giovanni, sir!" James chirped as he...she...whatever snapped off a crisp salute. She then pulled out two pokeballs from somewhere, which disappeared in a flash of white. "We hope they'll prove useful!" "Very well. Now hurry up to the next reality. If you spend another minute there, you'll regret it!" "Y-y-yes, sir, Giovanni, sir! Gatchabaguse!" Jessie chirped as she gave him another crisp salute and turned off the communicator. "Enar ssecnirp fle ot ecnerefer detcepxenu yletelpmoc a saw taht," Giovanni muttered to himself, before looking at the pair of balls he now had cupped in his hand. "Hopefully those idiots didn't mess up this time. Let's inspect the specimens..." He clicked the 'open' buttons and-- * * * * * "EEEEK!" James shouted. "This is horrible! I'm a--" "--talking frog!" Jessie finished in horror. "And just LOOK at this! My clothing is...absolutely boyish! Light blue is NOT my color! Although I will admit that this pendant looks BEAUTIFUL on me..." The two of them looked at the young man with spiky red hair. "Why, no!" Jessie responded. "Nothing's wrong at all!" James continued with, "We're perfectly fine, uh..." They looked at the young man some more. "Chrono! That's right. We're perfectly fine, Chrono!" They stopped and thought for a second. "How can we hear you if you're not saying anything?" Jessie asked. They looked at him again. "I suppose that makes sense," James responded. All three of them noticed a man leaning on a streetlamp at once. "Hey," he said, as he tipped his hat. * * * * * "Igor! Prepare the random filler scene!" "I'th thowing right now, Mathter!" "Good! Finish the random filler scene!" "Yeth, Mathter!" * * * * * "For the last time," Giovanni thundered, "I do not have a couch I wish to insure! Now go out and ask the good people of Cerulean City the same question!" "Ah, _I_ get it," the yoma responded. "Not enough money, right? Think you're spending too much to make sure that couch doesn't get stained with wine after a night of drinking? Tell you what, I'll give you my card--no, wait, I've got a pen for my SPECIAL cust--" Giovanni tugged on a string, sending the yoma down a trapdoor. Looking over to Ultros, he commented, "That was a waste." "Sure was, boss!" Ultros commented as he jotted down five memos and played a game of Jan-Ken-Pon against himself (don't ask how he formed the shapes). "...yes. *ahem* So where is our other specimen?" * * * * * Luna was scared. Very, very scared. Any moment now, that...that THING could spot her, and it wouldn't be a pretty sight. She peered around the corridor, making sure she wouldn't run into IT, and darted across. Then she looked back, and-- "I LOVE YOUSE!" Meowth shouted as he tried to pounce on her. "Fly ME to the moon!" "No! Get away from me!" * * * * * Meanwhile, the puddle of drool was still expanding from underneath Sailor Mercury. * * * * * Author's Notes: Sorry, this was really rushed. This was done in a single sitting of two hours, with the exception of two sentences added in later on. I effectively had only a day to write it since I'm leaving on vacation for Italy tomorrow. I also have no Sailor Moon experience to draw upon. ^_^; Hope you find this funny, though. ^_^; Lawrence
