The Ero-Sennin wrote a Sailor Moon Fanfic!
Was it a good sandwich?"

“Some folks are born made to wave the flag, ooh they’re red white and blue!†Sailor Moon sang along to the music in her headphones as she sat at the machine gun position on the helicopter, which skimmed the waves of Tokyo Bay. “And the band plays ‘Hail to the Chief’ ooh they point the cannon at you, lord.â€
Seated on the bench, Sailor Jupiter was playing air guitar as Luna nodded her head and joined Sailor Moon in the chorus. “It ain’t me! It ain’t me! I ain’t no senator’s son, son!â€
“It ain’t me, it ain’t me!†Sailor Jupiter joined the other two, “I ain’t no fortunate one, no!â€
In the front seat, Naru let out a laugh when she heard their voices over the music in her ears.
So this was “Helicopter Flying Music†as Luna called it. “Luna! We’re approaching the Maxfield; I’m going to bring us up to pass in front of its course in five minutes!â€
“Okay!†Luna called out before rejoining the singing.
Guiding the helicopter in a gentle turn, Naru began to make the approach. Their part of the plan was simple. Naru would drop Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter in front of the Maxfield so they could swim for the ship and board it.
From there, all Naru and Luna would be able to do is watch and hope everything went perfectly. She had to admit though; this was way too much fun. Sitting back and raising the helicopter just a little higher over the water, she kept aware of the instruments and the sky in front of her as she joined the others. “It ain’t me, it ain’t me! I ain’t no millionaire’s son no, no! It ain’t me, it ain’t me! I ain’t no fortunate one, no!â€
Back on shore at Motoki’s apartment, Motoki was lying in bed checking his phone. “Mamoru hasn’t checked in. Knowing him he’s already fighting.â€
From beyond Motoki’s bathroom door, Reika called, “Or he’s trying to pick up some girls and enjoying himself before he decides the party needs to get a little crazy.â€
Motoki laughed. “Yeah it’s probably that. He’s gone a while without a date now.â€
“How long is a while?â€
“Six, maybe seven months now, I haven’t seen him with anyone since he began doing the Tuxedo Kamen thing,†Motoki said, “He doesn’t want anyone else on the outside getting too close, you know? I mean, there are already three of us who know his identity.â€
Reika let out a gentle laugh. “Or maybe he just hasn’t found a girl because his tastes are too strict. He’s still fond of delicate, cute girls isn’t he?â€
Motoki laughed and immediately thought of Usagi. “Aside from one glaring anomaly, yes those are his type. I can’t blame him, though.â€
“So, you mean to say you prefer fragile girls too?†Reika opened the door, and revealed herself to be in not so much bed clothes as going to end up on the floor in the next thirty seconds clothes–Motoki’s reaction considered.
“Not at all,†he said with a growing smile, “I prefer fearsome women.â€
Reika smiled and walked over to the bed. “Good answer, Motoki-kun. Now stop worrying about Mamoru, okay?â€
“Yes dear,†Motoki said as he tossed his cell phone aside.
“Is that a helicopter out there?†Zoisite asked as he caught sight of running lights out ahead. Jadeite looked over to the other General, who was using Housenka, Grape, and Suzuran as a chair.
As a person who valued his subordinates for qualities other than their functionality as furniture, he truly wished Zoisite would die horribly.
“The Maritime Defense Forces and the American Navy run helicopters throughout the area. Ignore it,†Nephrite said. He knew full well where Zoisite was going with this.
Zoisite grinned. “Come on, it’s just one helicopter. No one would miss it… except maybe the families of the deceased.â€
Nephrite looked to Jadeite, who just shook his head. He wasn’t going to yank on Zoisite’s leash unless he had to. Accepting this, Nephrite turned his attention back to Zoisite. “That was your final warning Zoisite. Don’t even insinuate harming anyone but the Senshi.â€
Petulantly, Zoisite stuck his tongue out at Nephrite before he called over to Balm. “Hey, hairy bitch, go get me an Appletini!â€
Balm, possessing the patience of a saint, nodded gracefully and departed. “Yes sir.â€
Thetis, who had been in deep concentration to control the aspects of the ship, opened her eyes when she felt something amiss. She looked to Jadeite. “I think we have boarders.â€
Zoisite brightened and sat up. “Is it them?â€
He got up from his youma chair and leaned over Jadeite’s shoulder as an image appeared of the suspected entry point on the CCTV monitor, the stern of the ship. Nothing could be seen, however. Frowning, Zoisite set his feet down and huffed. “This is boring! Can I go investigate?â€
“No, you will not. Jadeite can search it out just fine,†Nephrite ordered.
Jadeite nodded, and teleported. Closing her eyes again, Thetis let out a sigh of relief. If she hadn’t looped that particular camera’s tape at that moment, Zoisite would’ve seen Sailor Moon and Sailor Jupiter boarding the ship. Hopefully, when he encounters them, they won’t try to kill him.
Down in the restaurant of the Maxfield, Rei and Mamoru were learning something shocking about Ami Mizuno: She could eat. Not in the sense of a normal human being, though. Her method of eating, her speed, and the sheer quantity of food that she could put away was nothing short of staggering.
But what amazed Mamoru and Rei the most was her cleanliness and her manners! She ate like a tiger gorging on a fresh freshly killed buffalo, but she was a tiger with class!
“Where… where does it all go?†Rei asked with a quiet, subdued horror in her voice. “Does she have a black hole in her stomach?â€
“I don’t know, but I’m glad I’m not paying for her food,†Mamoru said. Ami’s was a bill already approaching the hundreds of thousands of yen.
Wiping her mouth with a napkin, Ami actually stopped to breathe. “I’ve always been a big eater; my mother likes to say because my brain has a ridiculous energy requirement.â€
Mamoru whistled. “Can you even taste the food?â€
“Yes! It is very delicious!†Ami said happily.
Rei took a sip of juice, she had calmed down considerably since they’d started eating–Ami’s predatory eating habits aside–and was feeling a little relaxed. “So, uh… what do you do? You seem well off, not that I’m specifically interested in that.â€
Mamoru let out a gentle laugh. “Most of my money comes from good investments my family made on money I had gotten into when I was younger. I’m well off enough to retire now, but I wouldn’t know what to do with myself, so I’m currently going to college for business and economics.â€
“Oh! So you want to be a big time Bank CEO?†Rei asked.
Mamoru smirked. “I’ve always wanted to try out a golden parachute.â€
Rei’s eyes were full of sparkles. A bank CEO! With that kind of husband, she could buy her crows their own house! Even better, a castle! She’d call it the Rookery! Yes, they’d love that. “Wow, I wish you all the best in your efforts.â€
“Thank you. What about you ladies, what are your aspirations?†Mamoru asked.
Ami smiled. “I want to be a Doctor like my mother, but my passion is art.â€
“An artist, what do you draw?†Mamoru asked.
Rei quickly spoke for her. “She does all kinds of things. She’s really good, she could be a professional!â€
“I’m not that good…†Ami humbly denied, though her ego was purring like a kitten.
“What about you, Rei-chan?†Mamoru asked. “What are your plans for the future?â€
“A veterinarian, I really like animals, especially birds. I wouldn’t mind taking care of them for a living…â€
Ami had resumed eating as Rei and Mamoru talked, but her focus remained on Mamoru. After spending a fair amount of time with this charming man, it was almost all she realized she was getting a little worked up.
Clearing a plate, she set it aside and smiled when she caught Mamoru glancing towards her. His eyebrow briefly quirked, but he gave no other sign.
Rei looked from Mamoru to Ami, when she noticed the silent exchange. “What is it?â€
“Oh, it’s nothing.†Ami leaned back in her chair and stretched with her hands high above her head. “I’m feeling a little full.â€
“I’m afraid to find out how much you eat when you’re really famished,†Mamoru joked.
“I still want to know how you do it,†Rei said as she reached down and patted Ami’s stomach, “It’s not even bulging!â€
“Chew every bite with care, that way you don’t fill up as fast.â€
Rei rubbed Ami’s stomach, and Ami let out a soft sigh. “Still, you took a lot of bites.â€
Ami smiled gently to Rei, and both girls laughed.
Their booth suddenly seemed a lot cozier, as Rei cuddled closer to Ami and continued to rub her stomach, it felt nice, and Ami had no problem with it. When Ami put her arm around her in a hug, Rei sighed and rested her head on the other girl’s shoulder. Mamoru’s brows rose as both girls became a lot more relaxed.
Rei was enjoying herself immensely as she returned Ami’s embrace. Her face was flushed completely red, like Ami’s, as she nuzzled her cheek. “I feel really warm, Ami-chan…â€
“Me too,†Ami replied.
It was strange, but she had gotten no warning from her computer. She turned to look at Rei’s face. “You know, you’re really cute, Rei-chan. I like when you blush, best.â€
Rei giggled shyly.
Still staring at Rei, Ami leaned forward and tilted the other girl’s head up to kiss her. Mamoru’s eyes widened as he watched the pair’s lips draw close.
At the last moment, Rei stopped Ami. “Ah, no…â€
Mamoru suddenly felt as though someone had brought him a puppy… and then killed it.
Ami looked confused, and disappointed, before Rei skittishly and repeatedly glanced towards Mamoru and carefully forced her words out. “I really want to, but I… I want my first kiss to be with a boy.â€
Mamoru was suddenly a deer in the headlights as Ami turned her attention to him. Rei looked at him as well, out the corner of her eye. Smiling, Ami turned back to Rei and nodded.
“Mamoru-kun…†Ami purred in a voice that left Mamoru’s mouth dry and his heart racing.
At the stern of the ship in an unused guest room several decks down Sailor Moon shook the water out of her hair. “I think a shark tried to bite my ass.â€
She reached behind her and pulled a cracked tooth from a great white shark out of her skirt. “Huh, it didn’t even pierce the fabric.â€
Sailor Jupiter let out a laugh as she used her electricity to dry herself off, before doing the same to Sailor Moon. “So that was why you fell behind, it probably mistook you for a fat old seal.â€
“A ‘what’ seal?†Sailor Moon retorted.
Jupiter only laughed before both looked around.
“So, what happens now?†Jupiter asked.
Sailor Moon opened the door, and peered around before spotting a security camera. “Can you knock out the security cameras?â€
A zap of electricity did just that, knocking out nearly every security camera on the ship. Sailor Jupiter smugly turned to look back to Sailor Moon, who nodded her approval.
“I’m pretty sure they know we’re here now, but they’ll have a hard time tracking us. Go to the starboard side of the ship and make your way up. I’ll go from here. If you run into trouble, do whatever you like.â€
Sailor Jupiter nodded, and the two Senshi went their separate ways. As she continued on towards the bow, the lights in the corridor flickered and she stopped.
When they flickered again, she closed her eyes and smirked. “So, you did want to talk to me alone.â€
Jadeite was directly behind Sailor Moon, with his back to hers. “How much have you figured out?â€
“You’re not stupid, you figured out I could see through your disguises and put together that nifty one at the Shrine. Did you make that one up, or did you kill someone and steal their face?â€
“I assure you he was made up,†Jadeite replied.
“I just wanted to make sure. As I was saying, after that you pretty much go on TV and say ‘Here I am, Sailor Moon, come tear me a new asshole while you fuck me in my current one.’ You don’t want a fight, you want to talk, so what is it?â€
Jadeite chuckled. This was why they were being defeated by her so consistently. “My youma are terrified of you, and because of that want to serve you.â€
“Really?†Well, this was interesting.
“Yes you, they have no interest in dying at your hand, and the best way to avoid that is to fight alongside you, rather than against you,†Jadeite explained.
Sailor Moon nodded. “What about you?â€
“I care for my youma, ever since I began working for the Dark Kingdom they’ve served me loyally, so if they’re going then I’m going with them. They’re important to me,†he answered.
Sailor Moon huffed. “That’s a tough sell. What assurance can you give me that this isn’t a trick?â€
“I don’t have anything to assure you. You’re just going to have to trust me. Whether or not you take me up on my offer, you’re going to be facing a much stronger opponent soon. It’d be better to have all the help you can.â€
Slowly, Sailor Moon nodded. “And you came to me for the sake of your youma?â€
“Yes.â€
“Then you have a deal, Jadeite. I’ll accept you and your youma as my allies.â€
“But…?†Jadeite asked.
“But nothing, we have a deal so we have a deal. Do you trust me?â€
Jadeite smirked. “I have no choice, do I?â€
“So let’s go by that mutual trust alone.†Sailor Moon looked up. “So! Is it just you running this shindig, or is there a fight waiting for me?â€
“Zoisite, the General who attacked you with three youma at once when Sailor Mercury awakened, and Nephrite, he has been chosen by Queen Beryl to battle you next. He is considerably stronger and the quality of his youma is much higher.â€
“Are they expecting me?â€
“Of course.â€
“Where do we settle this?â€
“The main ballroom at the bow, the plan was to lure you there to finish you off.â€
Usagi grinned. “I’ll meet you there.â€
Jadeite nodded, and teleported out, leaving Sailor Moon to break for the stairs.
Sailor Jupiter was in a poor mood as she made her way towards the upper decks. She had heard the entirety of Jadeite and Sailor Moon’s exchange over their hands-free communication and objected to the idea of allying with the enemy even if they were defecting. There was no guarantee that they’d stay loyal to them in the long run. Had Sailor Moon’s previous actions and battles not shown her otherwise, Jupiter wouldn’t trust her judgment on this.
Don’t be wrong about this, she thought as she finally made up to the populated decks. Opening the door to peek out, however, she stopped and her eyes went wide. “What the hell?!â€
She closed the door and leaned against it, a bright blush across her face. There were people, passengers, doing everything from making out to outright having sex in the hallway. “What kind of crackpot scheme is this?!â€
Sailor Moon heard her exclamation as she made her way upstairs. “Ne, what is it?â€
“Perverts, the whole deck here is a full-blown orgy!†Sailor Jupiter quickly replied after she took a peek to confirm what was going on.
Sailor Moon whistled as she reached a doorway. “This party’s getting crazy.â€
Before she could issue the order “Let’s Rockâ€, Sailor Moon opened the door and found essentially the same scene that greeted Makoto. She stopped and stared. “Okay, really crazy.â€
On the plus side, people would probably be too interested in screwing to get in the way of any battle. On the downside, they’d probably be too interested in screwing to get out of the way of any battle.
Worse still, Ami and Rei had been aboard for a while now, what if they had succumbed to whatever was affecting these people to this level of depravity? On one hand, it’d be pretty hot, but on the other hand this was a battle.
“Game face, Sailor Moon…†She reminded herself as she pulled out her communicator and contacted Ami’s with a text message. “You’re just going to have to believe your friends are stronger than their desires.â€
Putting the communicator away, she looked down the long corridor of the first-class cabin deck of the Maxfield and then broke into a run, maneuvering around and over the various people almost mindlessly slaking their lusts. None of them even seemed to pay Sailor Moon any mind, even when she vaulted over a couple who had decided the middle of the deck was good a place as any.
“The walk of shame after this one will be one to be filmed,†Sailor Moon joked before a heavy wooden door opened in front of her. If Sailor Moon had been expecting it or been moving along a little faster, she likely would’ve gone clean through it. But she wasn’t. “OW!â€
She rubbed her face. “Wait. Ow? That didn’t even hurt.â€
Sailor Moon looked up as the person who opened the door and she froze. There was Kenji, wearing only a pair of hastily put on boxer shorts. He was looking to another group further up. “Hey, I’ve got a couple of ladies in here who want to play with a few more people, you guys interested?â€
“What,†Sailor Moon blurted before she covered her mouth.
A familiar voice called from the room, though not the one she was expecting. “Ken-kun, hurry up! Hurry up! Are they coming?â€
Sailor Moon peered around the door, and sure enough there was Haruna, naked as the day she was born, lying on the bed with an equally naked Ikuko. Sailor Moon’s mother was entirely too busy attending to her teacher to say anything.
Several people, men and women, had happily answered Kenji’s call and made their way over, prompting Sailor Moon to hide until they all went back inside and the door was shut. Seated against the wall, Sailor Moon just stared at the opposing wall for a moment, before she snapped out of her completely understandable reaction and let out a laugh.
“Oh I get it, this is karma for letting Naru nail me in my bedroom and freaking them out. I accept this spectacular defeat,†she said graciously before she got up and bolted for the ballroom.
“I’d just better not get another little brother or sister out of this.â€
Nearby, Mamoru wasn’t sure if he was going to be able to make it to their cabin. Ami, eager to get on with it, had pushed him up against the wall next to their door and began kissing him as Rei tried to find the keycard to their door.
“Where is it…? Did I leave it at the restaurant?†Rei looked to Ami, and saw she was cleaning his tonsils. “Hey… I wanted to kiss him.â€
Ami let out a moan that said “You’ll have your turnâ€, when Sailor Jupiter bounded by the adjacent corridor, something that Mamoru caught a glimpse out the corner of his eye. At the exact same moment, Ami felt her communicator buzz in her skirt pocket, and both were pulled just enough from their amorous states.
Both pulled away from each other, though they really did not want to. They stared at each other, and realized that neither knew how to get away from the other without raising suspicion. Mamoru then had it. “Do… do you girls have condoms?â€
Eureka, that was it! Ami quickly replied, “No! I mean, no I don’t think we do, can you go get us some? We’ll be waiting for you.â€
Yes, they would be waiting as soon as they killed every single monster on this ship.
Mamoru smiled. “All right, I’ll try not to keep you waiting too long.â€
Yes, he would not keep them waiting once he killed every single monster on this ship. As Rei found her keycard, Ami grabbed it and opened the door. “Mm, see you soon then.â€
She then ushered Rei in as Mamoru turned and bolted. Once the door was closed, she looked to Rei and quickly pulled out her transformation pen. “Rei, let’s go.â€
Rei nodded, and drew her own pen and both raised them to the ceiling. Out in the hallway, Mamoru rounded the corner as he drew a rose from his jacket and held it out to trigger his own transformation.
Opening the doors, Sailor Moon entered the ballroom of the Maxfield, and found it empty. She looked up at the main chandelier that hung overhead, and then across the interior of the room at the large windows near the ceiling.
Turning around, she looked towards the stage where the band would play, and the drawn curtains. Almost on cue, the lights went out, and a spotlight illuminated Jadeite at the center of the stage.
He gestured to Sailor Moon. “Welcome, Sailor Moon. This has been a long time coming.â€
“It certainly has,†Sailor Moon said before more spotlights illuminated the ballroom, revealing Nephrite and Zoisite. “Three of you now, I’m flattered.â€
“About time you showed up skank!†Zoisite called out to her from his cushion of swirling cherry blossom petals.
She looked from him to Nephrite, who quietly returned her scrutinizing stare. Three Generals in the same room, this was looking exciting. “I’m sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s get this over with.â€
Sailor Moon heard the sound of something rushing through the air and jumped out of the way of Grape’s vines before they impaled the floor where she stood. She quickly rushed backward in a series of flips to escape more of the vines as they ripped up the floor in her wake.
As she came to a stop, Suzuran’s bombs rained down on her and engulfed her in several explosions that shook the ship. When they cleared, Sailor Moon was gone. Clinging on the ceiling of the ballroom above Suzuran’s head, Sailor Moon kicked off and drove a kick into Suzuran that bounced the youma off the polished marble floor with such force the floor cracked ten foot radius.
Sailor Moon hadn’t even reached the ground, when Housenka attacked, her supersonic wave attack slamming her painfully into the wall and denting it deeply. Grape’s vines followed to impale Sailor Moon, but missed as she jumped over them.
“You can’t win without surprise!†Sailor Moon said as she removed her tiara and threw it. “Moon Tiara, Action!â€
Grape quickly evaded the deadly projectile, which quickly homed in on Suzuran in the middle of getting up. Spotting the tiara, Suzuran used her bombs to blast herself clear of the Tiara, which came around and returned to Sailor Moon’s hand. Teleporting, Suzuran rejoined Housenka and Grape as Sailor Moon put her tiara back on her forehead.
Zoisite pouted. “Hey, she’s actually pretty good for a skank.â€
With a smirk, Zoisite summoned several crystals in Sailor Moon’s blind spots before launching them straight for her. Had Sailor Moon not been keeping her head on a swivel, she would’ve never seen them. She jumped above the crystals and landed before more crystals appeared and shot towards her like a barrage of bullets.
“Whoa!†Sailor Moon dove away from the crystals as the embedded themselves in the floor. As she got up more appeared in the air and fired after her, embedding much deeper into the floor than Suzuran’s vines had.
Housenka appeared above Sailor Moon, and unleashed a blast of Supersonic Waves, the attack stopping Sailor Moon in her tracks. Grape and Suzuran prepared their attacks as Zoisite aimed more of his crystals.
Jadeite tensed as Zoisite grinned and waved his hand, giving the order to fire.
“Bye, skank!†Zoisite called out and his crystals shot towards Sailor Moon with the youma attacks.
A blinding light filled the room in the form of Sailor Jupiter’s lightning crashing down on the projectiles and the Plant Trio youma. When the light cleared, Sailor Moon lowered her arms and smirked as she looked back to Sailor Jupiter.
“Being fashionably late doesn’t make you a hero, you know,†Sailor Moon chided.
Sailor Jupiter laughed. “I was just letting you have your fun. Can we get serious now?â€
Sailor Moon nodded. “Sure.â€
Zoisite stared at Sailor Jupiter. He was completely taken aback by the new arrival. “Damn, her tits are huge!â€
She heard that and looked to Zoisite, who went rigid with mock fright at her glare. “Hey, can you clean up here? I’m going to go kill that guy.â€
The Supreme Thunder attack had done a lot of damage, but Grape, Housenka, and Suzuran had managed to survive. All three looked towards Sailor Moon, and only caught a glimpse of her before she suddenly slammed a kick into Suzuran’s head.
As Suzuran went into an adjacent wall, Housenka jumped back while Grape fired her vines. Dodging them, Sailor Moon grabbed the bunch and then yanked Grape around into the path of the supersonic blast Housenka fired at her.
Grape went flying past, Sailor Moon jumped and kicked Housenka in the stomach before performing a somersault kick that put Housenka into the ceiling up to her waist.
Zoisite looked down at Sailor Jupiter and smiled, as his youma got the worst of it from Sailor Moon. “‘Kill’ me, is that what you Japanese are calling it these days?â€
He suddenly teleported, leaving his cherry blossom petals to be incinerated by Sailor Jupiter’s lightning. The instant he reappeared, he teleported again to avoid another blast, before he appeared behind her with an energy blast aimed at her back.
Right as Zoisite fired the blast, however, Sailor Jupiter knocked the hand holding the energy ball clear, sending the shot smashing into the wall behind her as she drove a charged punch into Zoisite’s stomach that threw him backward.
“Ah! You bitch!†he yelled as he teleported to evade the burst of lightning that followed.
He summoned a barrage of crystals and sent them after Sailor Jupiter, only to watch as the Senshi not only evaded them, but even destroyed those targeting her vulnerable blind spots.
Nephrite watched this with interest. I wonder how she’s predicting his movements.
Zoisite appeared after avoiding another lightning blast and glared at Sailor Jupiter. “Hey! Nephrite! Jadeite! A little help would be nice!â€
“Very well…†Nephrite said before he and Jadeite unleashed energy blasts straight for Sailor Jupiter. Looking towards both attacks, she snorted in indignation as both blasts were deflected off into the wall beyond her by her electricity.
“She’s using her lightning to create a magnetic field, brilliant.†Nephrite realized before Sailor Jupiter pointed to the ceiling and fired a blast of electricity that danced off the ballroom’s chandelier and then came raining down on all three Generals, forcing them to teleport clear of the attack.
Zoisite appeared in the air above Sailor Jupiter and growled. “What the hell?! Why the hell is she so freaking strong?!â€
Sailor Jupiter just smirked and charged up to attack before a gigantic sphere of water crashed into her and smashed her into another wall, denting and cracking it. Flashes of light were prelude to the water exploding away from a rapidly drying Sailor Jupiter. In front of her Thetis, in youma form, narrowed her red eyes at her as she was joined by Murid and Kyurene.
On the other side of the ballroom, Housenka caught Grape and both hit the wall hard before Suzuran unleashed a bomb attack that Sailor Moon evaded with ease. Using the explosion to propel her forward, she grabbed Suzuran by her shoulders and flipped, throwing the plant youma into her sisters.
Immediately Balm and Iguara appeared in front of the three sisters. Shuffling a deck of tarot cards, the former drew five and threw them at Sailor Moon like razors. When she evaded them, Ramua suddenly descended from above, aiming a spear for Sailor Moon’s back.
At the last moment, Sailor Moon sprang out of the way and slid back away from the armed youma. “Ha!â€
Raising her apple, Murid joined Kyurene and Thetis in firing a combined blast at Sailor Jupiter, which she only managed to barely block before she leaped out of the way and joined back to back with Sailor Moon.
Jupiter looked back at her compatriot. “I can see why you enjoy yourself so much for sure, now.â€
“Being a Sailor Senshi can’t be beat,†Sailor Moon replied as they were surrounded by Jadeite’s and Zoisite’s youma.
Jadeite looked to Nephrite and Zoisite briefly. Turning back towards the standoff, he clenched his teeth in anticipation.
With the battle most certainly going on, Naru brought the Helicopter in close. With the youma in battle and everyone else screwing like crazy, the ship was drifting off course. Skillfully hovering over the bridge Naru looked over to Luna as she prepared to jump out. “Are you sure you can control an entire ship, Luna?â€
“I have no choice but to try, now do I?†Luna called out. “I just pray that those girls don’t blow a hole in the boat or set it on fire! Good luck, Naru-chan!â€
With that, Luna jumped from the helicopter to the bridge, allowing Naru to get clear. Bounding through the window, Luna found the bridge silent and empty, the numerous systems running the ship unsupervised. Walking over to the helm, Luna sat down and her forehead’s crescent moon symbol began to glow.
“Oh… oh my… this will be much easier than I thought. Thank goodness for that.†She said in relief as she quickly began to understand the aspects of the ship.
She then looked towards the security cameras, and saw the drama unfolding in the ballroom. “Oh dear, where are Mars and Mercury?â€
“My, my, the little skanks are in a pinch,†Zoisite taunted as Grape, Housenka, and Suzuran prepared their attacks with Jadeite’s youma.
Nephrite watched the Senshi carefully, cornering them only made the situation more unpredictable; this had to be done in one fell swoop. Jadeite was tense and silent, as he too awaited the next move; the ball was now in the Senshi’s court.
Sailor Moon, staring directly at Thetis, adopted a fighting stance as the water youma raised her hand and summoned another sphere of water. Thetis cast a quick look to Murid, who parted her lips and breathed out just as a window overhead shattered. Nephrite, Zoisite, and the Plant Trio looked up in surprise, but it was too late.
“Mercury Sabão Spray!†Sailor Mercury yelled out before she filled the room with mist.
Right behind her, Sailor Mars took aim at the Plant Trio.
“Mars Fire Soul!†she yelled out, the intense flames sending the three youma scattering in fright.
Housenka leaped upward to escape the mist. However, Sailor Mercury appeared behind her, and punched her straight into a wall. As Housenka impacted it, Mercury kicked her into it, causing her to vomit into her mask before a second kick shot her through the wall and sent her hurtling to sea.
Suzuran produced several bombs as she jumped back against a wall, and prepared to throw them when Sailor Jupiter’s lightning danced among the bombs she held, setting them off in a tremendous explosion. It was then followed by a blast of lightning that blew her through the wall and off the boat.
Grape, realizing quickly that she was alone, immediately launched her vines at the shadow of Sailor Moon in the mist to her side. “I got you!â€
The vines reached their target, and revealed it to be nothing but a shadow cast in the mist before Sailor Moon’s hands shot from the mist directly in front of Grape, and Sailor Moon brought her head down on the youma’s face in a vicious headbutt that likewise knocked her out through a pair of doors and overboard.
Sailor Mercury’s mist cleared, revealing just the Sailor Senshi and Jadeite’s youma. Ramua, gripping her spear, gulped as she stared at the four of them. She then looked to Thetis, who only nodded and prepared to attack. Murid and Balm readied their respective weapons, as Iguara and Kyurene growled and prepared to attack.
Nephrite smirked, and then began to clap his hands. “Well done, Sailor Senshi, well done, you’re as formidable as I’ve observed and then some.â€
“Thank you. We’re going to kill you all, now.â€
“Bold. However, I’m afraid this is going to be the end for you here. We’ve lured you in, and now it will be us who finish you off.â€
As Nephrite spoke, Sailor Moon turned her attention back to the youma, particularly Thetis.
“Is that so?†When Sailor Moon retorted, Thetis nodded, but in an odd upward fashion. Sailor Moon glanced up, and saw the main chandelier of the ballroom.
“Yes. Like the buses before, the energy we’ve collected tonight is going to be used for one thing, destroying you,†Nephrite revealed.
Zoisite then piped in. “And if you don’t take your beating like a proper ho, we’re just going to kill everyone on the boat.â€
Sailor Moon smiled in amusement. “Fine, we’ll fight it out, oh Sailor Mars, Sailor Jupiter.â€
“Yes, Sailor Moon?†the two Senshi asked.
Before Nephrite’s eyes, Sailor Moon pointed directly up at his trump card, the main chandelier of the ballroom, where all of the energy collected to be used against the Senshi was stored. “Destroy that chandelier.â€
Nephrite froze, as both Senshi launched their attacks to do just that. “What? No!â€
Fire and lightning crashed into and shattered the chandelier, unleashing a blinding light as the stored energy of hundreds was released all at once. Zoisite and Nephrite covered their eyes to shield themselves. Jadeite did the same, but behind his raised arms, he was grinning like a madman.
“Impossible… how did they know?!†Nephrite growled before a silhouette suddenly appeared before him.
His eyes widened as that silhouette turned out to be Sailor Moon, swinging a kick down on him. The force of his body hitting the ballroom floor below actually caused the ship to list slightly to starboard.
As Nephrite lay in a rather deep hole, Zoisite quickly began to surround himself in his cherry blossom petals. “Oh nice one, bitch, but now you’re wide open!â€
He raised his hand, as though to launch an attack, when Tuxedo Kamen’s rose impaled it. Zoisite hissed in pain and clutched his wrist. “Oh God, that hurts!â€
Tuxedo Kamen then swooped down on him, with his cane raised. “Hello Zoisite.â€
Before Zoisite could do anything, Tuxedo Kamen bashed the young General in the head, sending him crashing into a window and hurtling out into the ocean. Descending, Tuxedo Kamen landed next to Sailor Moon and tipped his hat to the Senshi. “Good evening, ladies, enjoying the cruise?â€
“So sexy…†Sailor Moon moaned to Tuxedo Kamen before she and the others looked towards Thetis and the other youma.
Tuxedo Kamen prepared for battle, when Sailor Moon raised her hand to stop him. “It’s good.â€
Thetis relaxed and nodded. “Thank you for giving us the benefit of the doubt. We’ve been kicked around enough.â€
Ramua, still uneasy being around the Senshi, nodded. “Yeah, so uh… we want to become good guys… or at least not be your enemies.â€
“Can we join your club?†Murid said, mocking the awkwardness of the moment.
Tuxedo Kamen was surprised, and even more so when Jadeite joined the youma. He looked between them and the Sailor Senshi. “They want to defect?â€
“Yes, and I’m okay with this,†Sailor Moon said to Tuxedo Kamen. She then turned to Jadeite and his cadre. “But if you’re going to be allies of justice, you’re going to have to prove it to me.â€
Jadeite nodded. “I have to keep up appearances, but I will be leaving the Dark Kingdom soon myself, and doing so in an appropriate blaze of glory. I trust that you’ll assist me with that?â€
“One faked death coming up,†Sailor Moon replied, “Just don’t involve as many people in your swan song, okay?â€
“I’ll try not to, this plan wasn’t quite how I’d envisioned it going… but this was a plan Beryl formulated. I fear she may do so again next time. So be prepared.†Jadeite warned.
“Okay†Sailor Moon then looked back at Nephrite, still out of it. “What do we do about this guy?â€
Murid smiled. “I’ve taken care of him, don’t worry.â€
Sailor Jupiter snorted. “We could just kill him here.â€
“There’s no need for that,†Both Tuxedo Kamen and Jadeite said together, before they stopped and looked to each other in surprise.
Jadeite then narrowed his eyes at Tuxedo Kamen, and looked to Sailor Moon before he explained. “Nephrite is a good friend of mine; there may be a chance to convince him to defect as well down the road.â€
Sailor Moon scrutinized Jadeite. “Are you sure?â€
“Definitely!†Jadeite quickly returned. “Nephrite is loyal to the Dark Kingdom, but he’s also the sort who can be swayed, he just needs time to come around.â€
Folding her arms, Sailor Moon hummed. “I’ve trusted you so far, so I’m going to give you a little more leeway. If you can bring him home… then we won’t kill him.â€
Sailor Jupiter stood down with that. “This had better not blow up in our faces.â€
“If it does, then it’s on me,†Sailor Moon replied.
Jadeite bowed deeply. “Thank you, so much. You should leave, now, you’ve won here.â€
Sailor Moon nodded. “Okay, good luck and see you for the final act, Jadeite.â€
The Sailor Senshi, a bemused Tuxedo Kamen, and Jadeite’s youma quickly left. After they left, Jadeite pressed his hand against his chest and fired a weak energy blast that blew off part of his shirt and burned him, before he fell to his knees and shook his hair into a mess.
On hands and knees, Jadeite crawled over to where Nephrite lay, as the other General was getting up. Blinking awake, Nephrite saw the injured Jadeite. “Jadeite…â€
Looking past Jadeite, he saw Sailor Senshi and Tuxedo Kamen standing over the disintegrating remains of Jadeite’s youma. All were looking towards the two injured Generals. Jadeite, blood seeping from his mouth, let out a single, raspy word.
“Run.†Jadeite then collapsed onto Nephrite, who caught him as he rose to his feet.
“Jadeite! Jadeite!†he called out, “Hang on… I’ll get you out of here!â€
He looked back at the Senshi, all an illusion of Murid’s, and then teleported out with Jadeite, cursing them as he vanished. “You’ll pay for this!â€
The moment he left, Sailor Mercury peeked in through the door of the ballroom, and saw they were gone. She then turned around and gave a thumb’s up to the other Senshi and the youma. “He fell for it!â€
“He’d better have, I gave my all for that illusion!†Murid said indignantly.
“This is just surreal,†Tuxedo Kamen said as the youma quickly assumed their human forms.
Sailor Jupiter was in agreement. “You’re telling me.â€
Sailor Mars stared at the now disguised youma. “Wow… they’re so pretty…â€
She covered her mouth. “I mean… for youma!â€
Sailor Mercury patted Mars on the shoulder and sighed. Thetis stepped up to Sailor Moon, and then extended her hand. She smiled. “So… shall we shake on it?â€
Sailor Moon responded with her fist… held out at arm’s length with a sidelong look towards Thetis. Staring at Sailor Moon’s fist, Thetis’ smile grew and she held up her own fist. “Fine, fine…â€
Their fists met, and Sailor Moon nodded. “Yeah, I think we’re good.â€
“Attention passengers, this is the First Mate speaking,†Luna’s voice then came over the intercom. “The time is now 23:00. The seas are calm and the skies are clear. We will be rounding the Miura Peninsula and continuing onward towards Yokosuka. The bars and restaurants, and other recreational areas are still open, but the ballroom is regrettably closed due to renovations. Thank you and do continue to enjoy your evening aboard the M/S Maxfield.â€
“Wait… Luna’s controlling the ship now?†Sailor Jupiter asked.
“How does she do it without hands, this is a legitimate question!†Sailor Mars demanded.
Thetis looked out towards the shoreline of the Miura Peninsula. “This is where we get off I suppose. It was nice partying with you girls.â€
“It’ll be nice not getting pummeled by you girls next time we meet on the battlefield.†Murid said as the youma began to teleport out. Ramua, her face flushed a bit, stuck her tongue out at Sailor Moon and Sailor Mercury before they were gone.
Sailor Moon stretched. “Well… now what?â€
Sailor Jupiter shrugged her shoulders. “Go to the bridge and relax until we reach port?â€
“Sounds good to me, we can sing ‘I’m on a Boat’ on karaoke!†Sailor Moon said, before she turned to Sailor Mars and Mercury. “Will you be joining us, or do you have plans?â€
“Actually… yes…†Sailor Mercury said. “Mars and I… we’re going to um… go back to our quarters.â€
Sailor Moon gasped, and looked at Sailor Mars. “I was just teasing! Honest!â€
Sailor Jupiter blushed and smiled. “Well, have fun I guess?â€
Sailor Moon sighed as Mars and Mercury, their faces now as red as the former’s uniform, quickly turned and headed back to their cabin. “No fair, I wanted sloppy Rei makeouts…â€
“You’re terrible,†Jupiter quipped.
Sailor Moon then brightened. “I know! Tuxedo Kamen, would you like to…?â€
He was gone.
“God damn it!†Grabbing Jupiter by the arm, Sailor Moon stormed off in a huff. “Come on, we’re gonna pig out and get drunk and have our own party! With blackjack! And hookers!â€
“Wait. What?!†Jupiter asked as she was pulled along.
“Forget the blackjack and the hookers then! Let’s just eat good food, get drunk, and party!†Sailor Moon yelled to Jupiter and the night above.
Having transformed back, Mamoru was wondering if he forgot something as he made his way quickly back to Rei and Ami’s cabin. Pure willpower and the magic of his transformation had prevented him from succumbing to the lust that was burning in his blood, and with the battle out of the way he was ready to give in.
Reaching their door, Mamoru knocked and waited impatiently, and as he waited for it to open he remembered exactly what he forgot. “Damn, damn, damn…â€
The door opened and Ami stood in the doorway with a bath towel around her. Mamoru stared for a moment, before he cleared his throat. “I uh… couldn’t find any protection…â€
Ami held up an entire box of condoms and tossed over her shoulder for Rei to catch, so she could grab Mamoru and drag him into the cabin with such speed his shoes were left behind outside the quickly slammed door.
The next morning the M/S Maxfield came into Yokosuka and its passengers were disembarking, some happily, some in shame, and some with a noticeable limp. Naru, Usagi, and Makoto were waiting on the wharf for Ami and Rei, but Usagi especially wanted to catch one couple in particular coming off the boat.
“Ah… I haven’t had that much fun in years!†Ikuko declared as she hung on the arm of her husband. “You spoil me, Ken-chan~!â€
Kenji let out a laugh before Ikuko looked past him to Haruna and addressed her. “Haruna-chan, we need to do this again.â€
“My place is always free if you ever want to come over and play,†Haruna replied, before all three noticed Usagi waving slowly to all three. They kept walking however, all still wearing happy faces, and they walked right past Usagi, Makoto, and Naru.
“She’s not here,†Kenji said aloud.
“No she is not,†Ikuko added.
“And if she or her friends were, they’d never mention a word of this to anyone, ever,†Haruna put in thirdly.
Naru was just dumbstruck as she watched the three walk past. “Usagi… was… was that…?â€
“Yes.â€
Naru turned to watch them go. “Were… were they…?â€
“Yes.â€
Naru looked at Usagi. “Together?â€
“Ménage à trois.â€
Naru turned back. “Lucky.â€
“You’ve ruined this girl,†Makoto said to Usagi.
“God, I did,†Usagi said, not sounding as ashamed as she ought to.
Mamoru came strolling down the ramp; wearing something of a dopey smile.
Spotting him, Usagi bristled. “What the Hell is that bald asshole doing here?!â€
“Obviously he was trying to get laid. It’s also pretty obvious he’s succeeded,†Makoto said as she watched him stroll by.
Usagi snorted. “He probably has something, I feel sorry for the poor woman he did it with.â€
“Hi guys!†an entirely too cheerful Ami and Rei immediately called out, making Usagi jump into Makoto’s arms.
“Oh, hey, did you enjoy yourselves?†Makoto asked.
“Yes, we had a good time.†Ami turned to Rei. “Didn’t we?â€
“Yes, it was wonderful!†Rei chirped.
Naru glanced back towards the direction Mamoru went, and grinned. “So! What all did you two do during the night?â€
Ami blushed cutely. “Ah, well… we just bummed around and spent time together, it was nice.â€
“Very nice, it was entirely platonic and most definitely did not involve hours of torrid, headboard-grabbing, bed-shaking, knee-weakening sex.â€
Rei stopped, and blushed brightly as she looked down and scratched the back of her head. “I mean… um…â€
She couldn’t help herself and giggled. “Well… maybe a little? Oh God this is so embarrassing!â€
Hands on her cheeks, Rei burst into giggles as she swayed from side to side giddily. Usagi, in one of those rare moments of lucidity, was staring at both Rei and Ami in complete horror as it all began to piece together in her head. There was no way.
She looked back in the direction Mamoru went, and then turned to Ami and Rei. “Did… with him…?â€
“Oh! No! No-no-no-no…†Rei trailed off under the scrutiny of Usagi, Makoto, and Naru. She then giggled again and broke down. “Okay, yeah. We both did! Together, at the same time, with Mamoru-kun, and it was wonderful!â€
Her hands clasped together at her cheek, Rei bounced up and down on her feet. “My first time was with a really handsome boy! I’m so lucky!â€
Ami sighed and shook her head. “She just can’t keep her mouth closed.â€
Makoto shook Usagi. “Hey, you okay?â€
“My Rei-chan, no…!†a limp and pale Usagi gurgled.
Naru sighed. “Drama queenâ€
Ami laughed. “She’ll get over it. Come on, we should go before people realize there was technically no one in charge of the ship.â€
“You’re right. Stop dying and let’s go, Usagi.†Makoto agreed, and the group melted off into the crowd.
Sitting on the bow of the Maxfield, and wearing a nautical-themed Pashmina Afghan, Luna watched the Senshi and Naru leave, and then stared out at the sea as she sang.
“Shawty. Shawty. Yeah, yeah, yeah…â€
