"Why won't my hands just write?" Michiru whispered to her computer. "I just can't seem to get this darn report finished."
Michiru sat there, staring blankly at her computer, her mind wandering in all directions. Finally she pinpointed a subject to write about. "I'll write an autobiography about what happened last night! This is a creative writing course, so I don't think that Ms. Janaki will even realize that this really happened." Michiru cited. "Besides, who would think that I am Sailor Neptune?" She furiously started typing away at the computer. Her fingers flew over the keys like she had no control over their actions. When she was finished, this was her story...
"We're at the arcade, so why can't we play some video games?" whined Usagi as she tugged on Ami's coat. "I heard the new Sailor V game is really wicked cool!"
"This is official business, Usagi, and we don't have time for games." Ami replied, looking around for Minako and Makoto, who had not yet arrived.
"Yeah, Usagi, you should know better then that by now. Why do you always have to make such a scene? You're really starting to get on my nerves!" Rei said coldly.
"WAAAAHHHH! I (sniff)... just wanted to (sniff)... have a little fun." Usagi whimpered. "You should try it sometime, Rei, it might fix that attitude of yours!"
Haruka leaned back in her chair. "Come on, you two, is this fighting really necessary? This is all that you ever do."
"Well, she started it!" Rei and Usagi yelled in unison.
"Come now, does that matter? What we really need to do right now is look for Minako and Makoto. They should be here by now. It's not like them to be this late; they should have been here twenty minutes ago." Michiru interjected, sounding concerned.
Just as that was said, Minako and Makoto came running up, looking very wet, and very embarrassed. "We missed (pant) the bus!! That's why we're, (pant) so late! We had to run all the way here!" Makoto said, very out of breath. She had what looked like Niagara Falls coming down off of her ponytail, and looked very much like a drowned cat.
"Well maybe we wouldn't have missed the bus if you weren't drooling over that guy!" Minako snapped. She was obviously not too pleased with the present situation. Her shoes were caked with mud, her coat was ruined, and the big red bow that always sat atop her head was half way down the side of her sweater.
"OH, but he looked exactly like my old boyfriend... that jerk." Makoto replied, her whole demeanor softening, and then hardening a second later. As for the rest of the girls, they all had rather large sweat drops on their foreheads.
"This conversation is getting us no where, we need to start the meeting." Ami said, sounding ever so impatient. Because of this, everybody sat down and paid attention, knowing that something was really wrong if Ami was irritated.
"Ami is exactly right, this is very serious business," Luna whispered (she couldn't make her voice too loud, because not many people would like the idea of a cat talking). "To make a long story short, we, the court of the moon kingdom, decided to send a message out into space to contact another peaceful planet. The message contained mostly information about the moon princess, or Usagi. However, the princess got into the rocket that carried the message. While looking at the things inside, she cut herself. The blood was left in the rocket, and was sent out into space along with it. The planet that received the message cloned Sailor Moon with the DNA from the blood, and sent her here to take over our planet. This means that we have an evil copy of Sailor Moon running around. This wouldn't have been hard to deal with if it were just Sailor Moon, but unfortunately, there are copies of all of the other Senshi out there, too. When the planet found out that there were more of you like Sailor Moon, they scanned you all for your DNA and made clones of you, too. So you see, we have evil clones of all the Sailor Senshi running around out there and causing trouble. You girls have to stop them!"
"So basically, your saying that this is all the fault of a little experiment that you guys did back a thousand years ago? Nice going, Luna." Usagi huffed.
******************
That night Usagi was watching the news at home. She had just finished eating dinner, and was whining for more food when a story about Sailor Moon came on the television.
"This just in. Sailor Moon and the Sailor Senshi have started a rampage downtown. Stay in your homes. I repeat, stay in your homes." the newscaster said, sounding scared.
"Oh no, Mamo-chan is downtown right now getting groceries!" Usagi screamed. "He'll think that Sailor Moon wanna-be is me! Time to bookit!" Usagi called the Senshi on her communicator and told them of the present situation. They met downtown, where all the trouble was going on. "C'mon, let's waste those clones! Crisis Makeup!" she screamed.
All the Senshi followed suit.
"Mercury Star Power, Makeup!"
"Mars Star Power, Makeup!"
"Venus Star Power, Makeup!"
"Jupiter Star Power, Makeup!"
"Neptune Star Power, Makeup!"
"Uranus Star Power, Makeup!"
After transforming into the real Sailor Senshi, the girls broke apart and headed after the clones of themselves.... that is, everyone but Sailor Moon. She stayed behind and "watched their backs". When Ami saw this, she ran back to Sailor Moon and dragged her to the middle of the fight, which had already started.
"Sailor Moon, it's your duty to fight for the protection of Earth! Get out there!" Ami yelled at Usagi. "If you don't fight, we don't have a chance!" After saying this, Mercury departed to fight her alter ego. "Shine Aqua Illusion!" she shrieked as a blast of water went right towards her enemy. The evil Sailor Mercury had already known what Ami was going to do, because she was really a part of Ami, and she just jumped out of the way. The attacks go by very quickly, and it is much too hard for any normal enemy to just move on by one of these attacks. Sensing this, Ami ceased firing and tried to think of what to do.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" the evil Sailor Mercury yelled as another stream of water came, this time towards the real Ami. Ami was caught off guard because she was thinking so hard, and was knocked backwards many feet. She skidded to a stop right in front of Sailor Venus, or at least someone who looked an awful lot like her.
"Venus Love Me Chain!" the person yelled as a long chain of hearts flew over towards the other Sailor Venus, who was standing several feet away. The chain hit, and the Sailor Venus stood there, entwined in the hearts for a few seconds, then ollapsed to the ground. Seeing this, Sailor Mercury staggered to her feet and took out her mini computer. She scanned the Sailor Venus that had just launched the attack. The screen showed her that this was not the Minako that she knew, and Ami limped away to the bushes. The bushes, it turned out, were not uninhabited. There she found Sailor Neptune, crouched in a ball with her eyes shut tight, very deep in thought.
"Sailor Neptune! What are you doing in here?" Ami asked, very surprised.
"That clone was reading everything that I was doing..." Michiru replied, with her eyes still shut. "I couldn't do any damage to her. I came here to try to think of a plan."
"That's a good idea. I came here to do the same thing. Maybe we can work together. You know, two heads are better then one."
As soon as this was said, the clones of Sailor Mercury and Sailor Neptune came charging through the bushes. Sailor Neptune's clone initiated her attack, and Ami and Michiru scrambled to their feet. "Deep Submerge!" it shouted.
The real Michiru was a bit startled, but began her attack as well. "Deep Submerge!" she hollered. The two attacks met in the middle with a huge blast of water. After the initial splash, nothing else happened. It seemed that the two attacks had hit each other with such force that they were both destroyed.
*********
"Come here you fake! When I get my hands on you you're going to be so sorry that you messed with Sailor Jupiter!" Makoto howled as she ran at her clone. She started to throw punch after punch, angered to a point that should never be reached. As these punches were flung at her, the evil Sailor Jupiter ducked up and down, from side to side, missing every punch. When Makoto finally got real close to her copy, the phony Sailor Jupiter charged her with an assault.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" it yelled, hitting the authentic Sailor Jupiter so hard that she was launched through the window of a fine crystal shop across the street. She lay motionless there among the shards of broken glass, wounded badly.
While this was going on, Sailor Uranus was engaged in a very competitive battle with her copy. "World Shaking!" she shouted as she threw a large ball of energy into the ground around her replica. Seeing this, the evil Sailor Uranus ran straight ahead to where Haruka was standing. She jumped right over the blast of energy thrown by her and started her own attack.
"World Shaking!" the imitation Sailor Uranus cried out in mid air as she flung a ball of energy directly to the ground in front of Haruka.
Sailor Neptune was watching this, and ran from her own fight to the battle between the two Sailor Uranus'. She got there right before the orb of energy came above ground; pushing her partner/best friend Haruka out of the line of fire so she could take the blunt of the attack.
"NOOOO!" Sailor Uranus cried out in horror as she watched Michiru blasted to the ground by the force of the attack. She ran over to her friend and kneeled in front of her.
*********
"I sense the evil coming from you and your other friends. I cannot allow you to take over this planet!" Sailor Mars yelled to her simulated self. "BURNING MANDALA!"
"Do you really think that you can beat me with that, my friend? You are mistaken. Of everyone here, I thought that you would be the one to realize that you cannot defeat us. Give up now before I have to destroy you!" the evil Sailor Mars threatened as she dodged Rei's attack.
"Don't refer to me as 'friend!' I'll never give in to you!" Rei screamed.
"Then have it your way! BURNING MANDALA!" screeched the copy of Rei. Sailor Mars had no time to get out of the way, and lay on the ground; badly injured by the forces of this clone.
**********
Throughout this ordeal, Sailor Moon had been chasing her clone around the area. Finally the impostor stopped to speak to Usagi.
"Don't you realize by now that you can't beat us, Usagi? This was just a test to see the strength of your Senshi." cackled the evil Sailor Moon. "I should tell you, next time you will be destroyed. We can read everything that you do, or did you forget that we are part of you?"
"You might have come from us, but you'll never be part of us!" Sailor Moon yelled.
"Very well, have it your way. I'll see you next time Sailor Moon, and I won't be running then."
"Yeah, same to you. PLLLTTT (said while sticking tongue out and pulling the bottom of one eye down)!!!!"
"Come evil Senshi, let us go now! We can finish this fight later!"
With that said, all of the impostors gathered around her. After forming a circle around Sailor Moon's alter ego, they started flickering with light. After doing this for a few seconds, the evil Sailor Senshi vanished into thin air.
"Where'd they learn to do that?" Sailor Moon muttered.
********
After everyone's wounds were healed, there was a Sailor Senshi meeting held at the Jhusenkyo Tea House. Fortunately, no one was late this time. Usagi, Minako, Ami, Makoto, Rei, Michiru, Haruka, Luna and Artemis all sat around a table at the back of the restaurant; not wet like last time. That is, except for Usagi. She had managed to spill her whole glass of ginseng tea into her lap.
"I wish I had something dry to wear; I look like a wet my pants!" Usagi wailed. "WAAHHHH! What if my Mamo-chan saw me now? I'd just die right here and now! I know he's just going to come right through th-"
"Can you stop your incessant whimpering for just one minute?! You are such a crybaby! Get over the stupid tea!" Rei interrupted. "You need to concentrate on something important, like how you can keep a figure like that with all the junk that you stuff in your face!"
"Well I've managed to stay trim so far, haven't I? That's more then I can so for some people, Rei....."
"How dare you accuse me of that? Your the one who's turning into Miss Piggy!"
Before Usagi could reply, Ami stood up and slammed her fist down on the table. The force of it rattled the white dishes on the table; the sound echoed through the whole building. "Could you two stop fighting for just two seconds? This is really important business!" Ami declared. After saying her part, Ami realized that everyone in the tea parlor was staring at her. Her whole face blushed to the color of a ripened cherry; she wanted nothing more then to crawl into a hole and hide.
"Well, now that we have EVERYONE'S attention, let's get back to business." Makoto mumbled.
"Yes, we really need to figure out how we can defeat these clones. They can read everything that we do; we can't touch them." Minako cited.
"Well, maybe we can...." Michiru whispered.
Haruka looked over at Michiru. "Do you have a plan?" she questioned. "Please share with the rest of us."
"Well, I was just thinking. We can't defeat our own clones, right?"
"Right..."
"Well, what if we fought someone else's? They wouldn't be able to read our moves because they aren't our copy."
"And if they can't read our moves, they can't get out of the way when we attack." reasoned Ami. "The next time those evil Senshi come, we'll be ready!"
************
The following afternoon, Usagi, Makoto and Minako went out shopping for a cool new pair of shoes for Usagi.
"Ooohhh. Look at those. They're so shiny." Usagi whispered.
"They're also the ugliest shoes I've ever seen in my life," groaned Minako. "Who in their right mind would buy a pair of pink-patent-leather-boots?"
"Well, Usagi for one." Makoto pointed out. Usagi was already in the store handing her money over to the sales clerk. When she emerged from the store, she was proudly wearing her brand new pair of shoes. Usagi was also wearing an ear-to-ear grin, very happy with her newest purchase.
"Uh, Mako-chan, I asked who in their right mind would buy those, and I'm not quite sure that Usagi qualifies..."
Usagi came running out of the store wearing her new purchase. "What do you think? Are they me?" she asked.
"Yeah Usagi, they really are YOU." Makoto said, stifling a laugh.
Suddenly there was commotion across the street. Usagi, Makoto and Minako rushed over to see what was the matter. When they arrived, they saw that the evil Sailor Senshi were attacking innocent bystanders. Seeing this, the girls ran off into the ally way where they transformed.
"Crisis Make Up!" Usagi yelled.
"Jupiter Star Power!" Makoto shouted.
"Venus Star Power!" Minako cried.
After transforming, the girls called the other Senshi on their communicators. After alerting the others of the impending danger, Sailor Moon, Jupiter, and Venus headed out to stop the clones before they induced any more pain.
"In place of the moon, I will punish you!." Sailor Moon shrieked at the evil Senshi.
"Oh, so you're back for more, Sailor Moon. Just try to stop us!" Usagi's alter ego cackled.
"It'll be my pleasure!" Sailor Moon countered. "You will be defeated this time!"
"Oh, yeah, by you and what army?" the evil Sailor Moon demanded.
"This one, you impostor!" Sailor Uranus yelled. "We have arrived!"
"And this time you won't slip through out fingers!" Sailor Mars shouted.
"So prepare to be moondusted, evil doers!" Sailor Moon called out to the evil impostors. After this was said, all of the Sailor Senshi took off to fight a clone. They made sure that it was not their own, though, for they would not be beaten in this final battle.
*******
"Hey 'Sailor Venus'! Heads up!" Sailor Jupiter cried as she ran toward Minako's clone. Makoto started punching at her violently, and the fake didn't have a chance. She would back up, looking startled, but could not manage to move herself out of the way. After Sailor Jupiter had her partner's copy on the ground, helpless, she took it upon herself to finish her off. "This is what I do to people who impersonate my friends and try to take over our planet! Sparkling Wide Pressure!" she screamed as she flung her attack towards the evil Sailor Venus. It came hurtling towards the clone, but all she could manage to do was look at the impending doom with horror. When it hit; nothing but her tiara remained. Sailor Jupiter picked up the tiara and ran off to find Sailor Moon. She figured that Usagi could use a little help in fighting her clone.
**********
"This is it, your time is up!" Sailor Mars shouted to the evil Sailor Mercury.
"I don't believe you have the heart to destroy me. I am your best friend, you are too nice of a person for that." Ami's clone cited.
"If you were the real Sailor Mercury, you wouldn't underestimate me! I can sense that you aren't her, and I know that you plan on enslaving this planet. You must be punished!"
"Shine Aqua Illusion!"
"Burning Mandala!"
Both of them began their attacks, but the powers of the evil Sailor Mercury were no match for the fury that was driving the assault by Rei. Burning Mandala pushed right by the Shine Aqua Illusion. The fire struck Sailor Mercury and knocked her to the ground. As she tried to stand up, Sailor Mars launched her offensive action again.
"Burning Mandala!" she shouted.
When the attack hit Ami's alter ego disappeared. Her tiara was all that lingered there. Sailor Mars took the tiara with her as she went off in search of Usagi.
*********
"Do you really think that you can beat me?" Evil Sailor Uranus coolly asked Sailor Venus.
"As a matter of fact, I think that I can!" Minako shouted. "Venus Love Me Chain!"
Sailor Uranus's clone rolled out of the way of the orange string of hearts, but missed seeing Sailor Venus running toward her. When she looked up from the ground, she saw Minako standing there over her. Minako gave a quick Sailor V kick that knocked the evil Haruka back to the ground, then launched her magical attack once more.
"Venus Love Me Chain!" Minako cried.
Sailor Uranus's alter ego was hit with the final blow, then vanished, leaving only the golden tiara from her forehead behind. Sailor Venus picked the tiara up and left to find Usagi.
*********
Meanwhile, Sailor Neptune was trying to figure out how to beat Sailor Mars' clone. "If I launch my attack at the same time she does, I can cancel them both out." Michiru thought. "If I do my second offense immediately after my first, then I'll catch Rei's copy off guard and she'll be weakened."
"Burning Mandala!" screamed the evil Sailor Mars.
"Deep Submerge!" Sailor Neptune hollered.
The two attacks hit each other, and as soon as they did, Sailor Neptune did hers again. "Deep Submerge!" She yelled. Her onslaught went right towards the evil Mars, and when it hit, she was thrown into the air. But what comes up, must come down, and come down she did. Sailor Mars' alter ego came down to the ground and landed with so much force that she evaporated, leaving nothing but her lone tiara. Sailor Neptune picked up the tiara; leaving to help Usagi in her battle.
The first thing that Sailor Neptune found, though, was her partner Haruka trying to fight the evil Michiru. All that Haruka had the heart to do was get in one World Shaking attack, and now she was just defending herself. It seemed that Sailor Uranus didn't want to destroy someone who looked so eerily like her best friend. Sailor Neptune, on the other hand, had no problem with destroying this impostor.
If Haruka won't finish this fight, then I will, Michiru thought. "Deep Submerge!" She yelled as she flung her attack at the evil Sailor Neptune. This caught the clone offguard, and she was reduced to air when the water hit. The tiara that she left was taken by Haruka, and Sailor Neptune and Sailor Uranus walked together in their search for Usagi.
**********
As everyone searched for Usagi, Sailor Mercury was still in a heated battle with the evil Sailor Jupiter. Ami was not prepared for all of the hand-to-hand combat that Jupiter's clone threw at her, and was having a hard time keeping away from her punches.
"If I want to defeat this enemy, I'm going to have to use my brain." Sailor Mercury thought. "This using my body thing just isn't working. She's much too big for me to stay away from."
Suddenly, Sailor Mercury had and idea. She had started watching Sailor Jupiter's alter ego more closely, and realized that she was expending lots of energy trying to hit Sailor Mercury, so Mercury started to use her height as an advantage to keep away from her enemy. Ami was small enough to duck out of the way when the evil Makoto attacked. Sailor Mercury decided that she would just tire Jupiter's clone out to the point that she couldn't defend herself. When this time came (it really didn't take too long), Evil Sailor Jupiter collapsed to the ground, solidly panting.
Seeing this as an opportunity, Sailor Mercury launched her attack. "Shine Aqua Illusion!" She yelled.
The copy of Sailor Jupiter was reduced to air, with nothing but her tiara left. Sailor Mercury took the tiara off of the ground and then joined in the search for Usagi.
**********
Sailor Moon and her clone were involved in a heated battle, but neither one of them could seem to get any attacks in. Suddenly, the Sailor Senshi arrived to fight on Sailor Moon's side.
"Give up now, you impostor, we have destroyed your Senshi! There is nothing left for you to do!" Sailor Uranus hollered.
"You see, we love this planet too much to let you harm it!" Sailor Mars shouted.
"Very well, then. I'll have to fight you on my own!" the evil Sailor Moon screamed. "Moon Spiral Heart Attack!"
The attack hit the Sailor Senshi with much force, but they stood tall.
"If we all work together, we can beat her! Start your attacks now!" Sailor Moon cried.
"Shine Aqua Illusion!" Ami screamed.
"Burning Mandala!" Rei shouted.
"Sparkling Wide Pressure!" Makoto called.
"Venus Love Me Chain!" Minako cried.
"Deep Submerge!" Michiru yelled.
"World Shaking!" Haruka hollered.
"Moon Spiral Heart Attack!" Usagi wailed.
All of the attacks combined into one, sparkling, powerful assault that hurtled through the air at the evil Sailor Moon. All that she could do was stand there, speechless. As the attack hit, she was reduced to nothingness; only her tiara staying behind.
Sailor Moon walked over to the tiara and gently picked it up off of the ground. She stared at the jewel in the middle of it, wondering what happened to the evil Sailor Senshi. Abruptly she threw the tiara into the air, where the rest of the cloned Senshi's tiaras leaped from their holders and floated into the air to meet it. They climbed and climbed into the sky, where they would stay until some unsuspecting person found them and released the evil inside each one.
**********
The seven girls sat around a table at the Mr. Frosty Ice Cream Parlor, eating their frosty deserts with pleasure. For the first time in several days, they all had big smiles on their faces. A smile wasn't all that Usagi had on her face, though! She had a huge mess of chocolate ice cream smeared across her mouth and chin.
"Usagi, use a napkin! You are such a pig!" Rei shouted across the table.
"Why should I? Anyway, I wouldn't be talking about being a pig if I were you, Rei. You seem to know a lot about it yourself!" Usagi countered.
"Here we go again!" Makoto, Minako, Ami, Michiru, and Haruka all groaned in unison.
