Title: Alternate Identities, Part V - New Mission, New Senshi Author: Mina, Warrior Princess Rating: PGish, or PG-13ish Feedback: sailor_v@mail.com Disclaimer: I'm not Naoko Takeuchi, nor that guy that created Ronin Warriors.

Author's Note: Hola mina-san!! Sup???? Okay, this author's note is going to have nothing to do with this chapter in particular, but I've just got a few things to say, and what better place to say them than in the Author's Note, right? *^_^* First, are you guys liking the story so far? I'd really like to hear whatcha think. It's pretty much satrical-sort of comedy right now (like most of my work is, especially if you've read SMG!! ^_^) but it will get serious a little later. Also, make sure you guys read my new short story entitled "Hopelessly Devoted". Believe it or not, it's NOT a Usagi/Mamoru romance thingy!! I'm sure you guys are all sick and tired of them. Instead.. it's about *snicker* MINA AND CYE!!! *hehehehehe* So make sure you all read it!!! Pleeeeeease??? :) Second, I'd like to say a few words about the title of the story, "Alternate Identities". It has a bunch of meanings as we move farther into the story... at first, it can be related to the main enemies, the demons, as they take on the identities of the characters' fellow senshi to trick them. (i.e. they take on 'alternate identities'.) Also, it has to do with the characters as they become Senshi, they get 'alternate identities'. It will have another, 'deeper' meaning later on in the story... but I won't spoil it now! :) Now... READ!!!!! ^_^ It's a loooong chapter, so get goin'! ~ M i n a ~ P.S. As always, WRITE ME!!!! ^_^;; And THAT... MEANS... YOU! Sailor Venus Says... C ya!! *teehee* ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ A l t e r n a t e * I d e n t i t i e s ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ p a r t 5 - n e w m i s s i o n , n e w s e n s h i I hate those stupid demons. And that whole thing about taking Chris' identity? That just plain pissed me off big time. So there I was, trying to find my way back to the main chamber of the Time Warp. On the way, I started thinking about a lot of things. Okay, to be a little more descriptive, these things have names: Cerra and Sabrina. Yeah. Well, to start, I was wondering why Cerra was being so goddamn nice to me. It almost made me feel a little guilty for hating her guts. Almost. Also, I remembered the way Mandi looked as she found out that Sabrina was Sailor Neptune. Sabrina is a girl in our grade who has tried multiple to seduce her boyfriend, Shawn. The expression on her face was that of one of pure, undisputed anger. I could practically feel her fists pulsating. Not to mention that you could practically wipe the drool off Shawn's face with a towel as he saw Sabrina in that Sailor suit. All these thoughts were running around in my mind, when all of a sudden... "VEEEEEEEEEEEENUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS!!!!!" Naturally, it was Darien. Who else? ^_- I looked over in shock to see three guys trapped in a corner at the hands of 6 demons. How unfair, I thought. These stupid demons play dirty, and they really know how to piss me off!!! "VENUS, HEEEEEEEEEELP!!!!!" "OKAY OKAY ALREADY!!!" I hollered over. "YEAH!!! SHE'S BACK!!!!!" : : anime sweatdrop : : "Yeah... um..... yeah. NOW to kick your demon asses!" I ran over to the demon directly in front of William, picked it up, and threw it over my head. Triumphantly, I took a battle stance. "MUAHAHAHAAA!! That's what you get for messing with Sailor Venu-aaaaahaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Another demon had done the same to me, lifted me HIGHER, and I was flying through the air... "Ugh.." I groaned, as I hit hard on the ground. "VENUS!!! SAVE US!!!" Darien continued to scream. Highly annoyed, I clenched my fists and teeth together tightly. "I'm WORKING ON IT!!!!!!!" I grunted angrily at his impatience. "Yeah lady, YOU'RE the one with powers, so hurry up and save us!!" William added. "I HAVE a NAME!!!!" Was my response to THAT. I held up my index finger, which was glowing with 'Crescent Light', and screamed.. "COME AND GET IT, YOU BLOODY DEMONS!!!!" "BLOODY!?! What are you, English or something?!" Darien commented. I paused for a moment, rather surprised that I had said that. And then I ran frighteningly fast towards two demons. "As a MATTER OF FACT, I * A M * ! ! !" I yelled, as I kicked a demon in the stomach area. Surprising the crap out of me, it grabbed my leg and swung me over it's shoulder, my orange skirt flipping up as I landed flat on my face on the ground. "Teehee..." Darien snickered. "USE YOUR POWERS STUPID!!!" Ducky informed. "Errr.... men," I grunted, standing up again. "As if I didn't know that... CRESCENTA.... BEEEEAM!!!!" I announced with a frightengly realistic Japanese accent. * cue a cool sequence in which the wicked cool Sailorvenus (aka me ^_-) puts her hand on her other arm, and blasts out a beam of light.... * The demon that had taken my leg was blown to smitherines by my beam. "YEEEEEEEEAH!!! GO VENUS!!!!" Darien cheered happily. The other two (Ducky and William) applauded, somewhat sarcastically. Yeah, I knew I was awesome. And those demon bastards were really easy to kill. Problem was... there was just too many of them!! "CRESCENTA.. BEAM!! CRESCENTA.. BEEEAM!!!" I did a few more Crescent Beams, blasting out more beams of laser light and blasting more demons apart. "GO VENUS.. GO VENUS..." Darien proceded to dance around like an idiot. It was sad, very sad. But... I was trapped in a corner. There must have been 80 or so demons blocking any escape that I might have had. I knew that my Love Chain wouldn't do shit on that amount of demons. And I had already used my Meteor Shower (and everyone knows there's a limit on THAT particular attack in Sailor Moon once per 50 episodes!! -authors joke). Love and Beauty Shock might do the trick... "BINASU..... LOVE AND BIUUTI... SHOOOOOCK!!!" Yet again, NOTHING HAPPENED!!! "ERRRRRRRGH!!!!!" I screamed, the demons decreasing the distance between us by the second. I was beginning to wonder if the Butt-kicking Venus was going to be able to make it out of this one, when I heard.... "FIIIIIIIIIIIIAH... SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUL!!!!!!" A huge blast of fire came sweeping through the demons, and I cowered in my corner trying not to be hit by it. "SUPREEEEEEEEEME... THUNDAAAAAAA!!!!!!" "SHABOOOON... SUPARAAAAAY!!!" Another blast, this time of lighting enveloped the demons, followed by a huge wave of fog. I couldn't see anything! "What the-" I asked myself, standing up. "The Inners.. saved me?! Who are they?" I tried desperately to see who and where they were, when... "MOOOOOOON...... PRIIIIINCESS..... HALAAATION!!!!!" Suddenly, a wave of moon-shaped typed things were all around me, and I could see a little again, but only a bunch of demons shriveling up and shrieking in pain. "Eeeeeeww!! GROSS!!!" I heard Darien shout. And then, "MANDI?!?!" "HUH???? What's going o-" I stopped short when the fog cleared a little more and I could see who the Inners were. "DANI???" I asked shocked, looking at Sailormars. She smiled. "BECCA???" I asked Sailormercury. She nodded. "...and JESSY???" I asked Sailorjupiter. "In the flesh!!" She grinned. "So... you guys are-" "Battling in the name of the red planet, I strike with a piercing flame attack derived deep within my soul. Facing the new threat with determination, I am SAILOR MARS!!!" "For Jupiter, planet of storms, I will vanquish evil with the ten-thousand bolt power that comes from my hands. Facing the new threat with strength, I am SAILOR JUPITER!!!" "With the elements of water and ice, I will use intelligence and reasoning to destroy these demons with a wave of liquid power. Facing the new threat with wisdom, I am SAILOR MERCURY!!!" "Geesh," I smiled at their speeches. "Pretty good lines... when did you find the time to practice them??" "They kinda just came to me," Becca smiled. "Same here," Jessy agreed. "I didn't even have a clue who Sailorjupiter was..!" "We FOUND the time while YOU were over here getting your wimpy ass kicked by these demons," Dani sneered. "Oh can it sis," I grinned. "Venus?" Sailormoon smiled. It was Mandi!!! "So you ARE Sailormoon!!" "YEAH!!!" "This must mean that Shawn is Tuxedo Mask!!" I shouted. "YEAH!!!!!" She agreed loudly. "YEAH!!!!!!" I screeched, and we jumped up and down. Jessy, Dani, William, and Darien gave the two of really weird glances like we were some sort of freaks. "Umm... hehe," I giggled. "Yeah," she did likewise. "We'll calm down now." "Someone's on crack, and it's no-ot me-ee..." Dani sung very quietly. I turned to look at her, squinted evily, and then turned back to facing Mandi. "FREAKS," Darien said in a loud faking cough. Jessy and Becca chuckled. Mandi and I just rolled our eyes. "Hey everyone, I've got a great idea," Ducky announced. "And what would that be?" I asked. "HOW ABOUT WE FIND THE OTHER SAILOR MOON PEOPLE SO WE CAN FIND A WAY OUT OF THIS DAMN PLACE!!!!!" "Yeah, good idea." Mandi smiled. He sighed loudly. "Just one question. WHERE on Earth is my boyfriend!?!?!?!?" We all looked around for Shawn. Amazingly enough, he was no where in sight! "Gosh, I can't believe I didn't even notice he was missing," William asked. "Me neither," Ducky and Darien said together. "That's because the author hasn't given him a major part in the story yet," I informed the group. "She's um, kinda lazy when it comes to characterization of the characters she doesn't find interesting or attractve, like Shawn. He'll probably show up again eventually." "Ohhhhhhh," everyone answered, sounding rather enlightened. "Now I understand!!" Jessy exclaimed. "Yeah, I was really confused there for a minute," Becca nodded happily. "It all makes sense now," Dani said cheerfully. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * We started walked along for a really long time, and my feet were starting to hurt. "My feet hurt," I announced. "I'm so hungry," Jupiter complained. "I've got a splitting headache," Mars put in. "I'm tired," Mercury added. "Quit complaining girls," William very quickly muttered. "My legs-" Darien started to add to the list, and then realised what William had just said. "Yeah you three, quit your complaining. Especially you, Venus!" I rolled my eyes at his stupidity. "Not to mention that it's so goddamn foggy in here, thanks a LOT Mercury," Dani groaned sarcastically. "Those Mercury Frickin' Bubbles were REAL effective." "Quit being mean," Becca responded meekly. "And they're called SHABON SPRAY." "Spray, bubbles, it's all the same useless fog to me. Besides, I wasn't being mean, just stating a fact," the ever-indignant Dani argued. ::sigh:: "Oh, brother..." I groaned. "Here we go again." "Kate, this is between me and your self-absorbed sister!!" "Yeah, YOU stay out of this Venus Love-Me-Chain!!!!" God... I was beginning to think that its harder to survive this group's arguments than to survive the demons!!! "You poor thing," Sailormoon came over to me. "You have to LIVE with her..." "Yeah, no kidding," I rolled my eyes again, and looked over at Ducky, William, and Darien, the Three Pathetic Musketeers. Jessy was talking with them about something, and the four of them were laughing. They were completely ignoring Mandi and I and the argument between Dani and Becca. I giggled, finding their actions somewhat amusing, and then my mind wandered to a very different topic... "You know, Mandi," I smiled kindly. "I wonder where Brian is." She sighed, annoyed. "Is he all you think about?!" "Yeah, pretty much," I grinned. "Well, I'm guessing he's where the other people from school are. Wherever the heck that is." "Since he's not here with us in the Time Warp, does that mean that he isn't a Senshi?" "Maybe. Or maybe he IS here, we just haven't found him yet." "That could be," I said with a somewhat sad tone. "Hey," she put her hand on my shoulder. "If Ducky, Will, and Darien, the three wimpiest loser guys on the planet can be Senshi, then Brian could be one no problem." I giggled at that, watching Darien making an extremely messed up face at Ducky, him laughing hysterically. "Yeah, I guess you're right." Our 'bonding' session was interupted by an angry voice...... "HALT!!!! WHO GOES THERE!!!!!" ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ e n d p a r t 5 ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^
