Power Switch.
Don't know if this will end up being comedic or serious. The idea came to
me in math class. Don't ask. But I've always wanted the Inner senshi to have a
fair chance at beating a good youma WITHOUT Sailor Moon. Hope you like it.
Actually, now I'm adding this note in half-way through the story. It is
comedic. If you don't like it, please don't hurt me! This is my first attempt
at a Sailor Moon `funny' fanfic. I'm a beginner, alright?!?
The rights to Sailor Moon and all associated characters belong to Naoko
Takeuchi and Toei Animation. I'm not making any money off this, so please don't
sue me.
Power Switch.
"Haruka, are you ready yet?!" Michiru said, rapping onn the door to
Haruka's room.
"Just a minute!" Her ally was quite busy trying to look her `charmingest'
for the Inner Senshi. The pride she derived from making them blush was
shameless. Michiru felt the sudden urge to tap her foot. "Done!" Proclaimed
Haruka as she stepped outside in a Tux. Michiru's jaw dropped.
"Har- What on Earth are you doing!?"
"What? Don't think they'll like the bowtie?"
"We're going for a meeting, not a full-fledge Senshi extravanganza! Get
out of that right now!"
"Here?"
"Of course her-" Michiru paused as her partner grinned, "No, in there!
There!" She shouted, pointing at the room. Haruka winked.
"What if I need some help?" Michiru raised her nose as she answered her
carefully thought out answer. She prayed the reaction would be as good as she
hoped.
"If you need help-" Haruka nodded eagerly, her eyes glowing with promise,
"Ask Setsuna." Haruka's jaw dropped close to the ground as she face-vaulted.
Michiru walked away, her dress swaying gently behind her.
"Luna, you know we don't like working with the Inner Senshi." Setsuna
said calmly as Luna looked at her.
"Yeah, what's the meeting about anyways?" Haruka asked, speaking loudly.
Makoto had begun to stare at her. It was the first time an Inner Senshi had
managed to make her feel so uncomfortable. Minako waved a hand in front of
Makoto and, when she recieved no sign of reaction to confirm she wasn't a
vegetable, `hmmphed.'
"Well, I was wondering..." said Luna. The Outer Senshi leaned closer.
"Yes?"
"Well....I was wondering if..."
"If?"
"Um....well.....nothing...uh......um......" Haruka took that cat off the
porch, shook it hard, and sat it back down. Luna's eyes were spinning
uncontrolibly, but she managed to cough out,
"If--hack...The Outers would do a temporary negative-
positive...hack....energy... with Inners," The cat fell unconcious as all the
Outers stared at Setsuna.
"What did that mean?"
"She means, would we trade energy levels with the inners."
"So we'd be like, weaklings, right?" Hotaru said, smiling at Haruka. Rei
stood up and considered how she would react. This was a good day so far....and
Yuuchiru was being extra-nice, she had had ice cream, no chores, hadn't argued
with Usagi, Usagi was far, far away, Chibi-Usa was back in he thirtieth century
where she belonged, she had won a C.D off the radio, took a walk, a good fire
reading, excellent horoscope...
"That's right, Hotaru." said Rei kindly.
An hour later in Tokyo General.
"I'm fine, doctor, really. Fine. I just had a good day, that's all..."
said Rei as the doctor injected her third dose of morphine.
"Askuro.." she said, then realized that the doctor was an absolute hunk.
"Oh...never mind..."
Back at the meeting.
"How would we do this power switch?"
"I can.....hack...execute it..." said Luna. She coughed out a thick black
hairball. "Oh, thank goodness. Had that since the Millenium, you know. Terrible
for the windpipe." The senshi shrunk away from the black lump and relocated to
the back of the temple.
An (yet another) hour later.
Luna carefully place her paw on the Outer Senshi wands as they glowed
with the aura colour, then turned and placed her paw on the Inners. (Mars had
left hers. No, not quite accurate. While Makoto and Haruka had held her down,
Minako had maniacally grabbed at it and began laughing as she held it in the
sky. They dragged Rei away.) the eight aura colours clashed in the air and the
senshi closed their eyes at the shock of white light.
Pluto messed around with time. Don't ask.
The new power stick shone brightly. Minako lunged at hers.
"I have a power stick! I have a power stick!" She fell backwards and
laughed as she tapped Setsuna's chin. "I have YOUR power! Heh heh heh..."
Everyone stopped to stare at Minako. Setsuna just stared at Minako in absolute
horror.
"Chronos....help us..."
Ten Seconds later. (The author loves these things. No need to properly
finish a paragraph!)
"Alright, senshi. HENSHIN YO!!" Luna shouted. Artemis walked up to her.
"Why do they always script YOU to say that? Why can't I ever say that?
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY?!?"
"Because this is a `magical girl' story. I, being female, am your
ultimatly a superiour and a higher life form than you."
"Oh. Right." Artemis, feeling the enlightenment of this answer, walked
away.
"MERCURY OUTER STAR POWER MAKE UP!"
"JUPITER OUTER STAR POWER MAKE UP!"
"VENUS OUTER STAR POWER MAKE UP!"
"URANUS INNER STAR POWER MAKE UP!"
"NEPTUNE INNER STAR POWER MAKE UP!"
"PLUTO INNER STAR POWER MAKE UP!"
"SATURN---oh my gosh...guys..." The other senshi stopped in mid-henshi.
"What is it?" Tears were brimming in Hotaru's eyes.
"I HAVE A HENSHIN!!! SATURN INNER STAR POWER MAKE UP!"
The senshi looked at their new get-ups. The Inner's now had solid
coloured fukus, and the Outer's striped. Haruka closed her eyes and felt for
the Space Sword. Concentrating, she felt its firm handle in her hand. She
opened her eyes, and collapsed. Jupiter ran up and held the talisman.
"A Space Dagger is okay, right?"
"Oh, and look, Haruka!" said Venus, "Your gems have been replaced with
synthetic SEQUINS! I LOVE SEQUINS!!!" Haruka gasped at the small dagger and
began hyperventallting. I would write out exactly what she said, but the only
really conherent line, repeated a few hundred times, was:
"My sword....my beautiful sword...My sword....my beautiful sword...My
sword....my beautiful sword...My sword....my beautiful sword...My sword....my
beautiful sword... My sword....my sword...my beautfiul sword...My sword...my
beautiful sword...My sword....my beautiful sword...My sword....my beautiful
sword.....My sword....my beautiful sword...My sword....my beautiful sword... My
sword....my sword...my beautfiul sword... My sword....my beautiful sword...My
sword....my beautiful sword...My sword....my beautiful sword...My sword....my
beautiful sword.....My sword....my beautiful sword....My sword....my sword...my
beautfiul sword...My sword....my beautiful sword...My sword...my beautiful
sword...My sword....my beautiful sword...My sword......my beautiful sword...My
sword....my beautiful sword... My sword..my sword...my beautfiul sword..."
The other senshi began passing small dagger around while Neptune held
Haruka. She would face whatever fate her partner face. Brave the same
dangers...She closed her eyes. For you...my love...The Aqua Deep Mirror
appeared. Haruka giggled.
"My sword....your mirror....hahhahahahahahahahahaahhaa.." Two men walked
up, put Haruka in a black and white stragiht jacket and dragged her away.
"HARUKA! NO! SUBMARINE-" Michiru stopped to look at her mirror.
"A POCKET MIRROR? A POCKET MIRROR?????" Michiru ran up to the van with
Haruka in it and jumped in just as they drove away.
"What...my sword....are you....my beautiful.....doing?"
"I'd rather spend the rest of my days in a mental institute with you,
Haruka, then look at myself in that mirror."
"Gee, thanks."
Pluto dared to look at her Keystaff. Makoto's eyes shined.
"My element! A wooden key staff!" Makoto smiled happily and visions of
gigantic forests danced in her head.
"Wouldn't that break, Setsuna?" Asked Minako. Now, Setsuna has a duty.
She will not do anything to comprimise her position or mission. However, for
the good of the world, something had to be done. Rising the Keystaff in the
air, Setsuna brought it down squarely on Minako's head. For a glorius, glorius
moment, one of the kind where a second stretches out into the oceans and the
infinities, Minako was silent. Not only was she silent, SHE HAD NOTHING TO
SAY!!! Thousands of viewers at home began clapping, stood up and gave Setsuna a
formal salute. Setsuna blushed.
"Thank you, thank you..."
Back at Tokyo General...
"MARS DESTRUCTIVE FLAME CINDER!!!" Rei had only had to concentrate on her
henshin stick for a moment to make it appear. The white-hot flames burnt
through the wall and left her an escape. Still woozy from the morphine, Mars
jumped out the hole in the wall. There was about a three second delay between
that and the moment she realized she was on the fifteenth story. Sailor Mars
got her first flying lesson.
At the meeting...
"People, we need to get the original Outer Senshi back to pratice. This
IS only temporary!"
"BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE!!!" shouted Minako joyfully. Setsuna did one
of those eye things where the pupil dilates and the entire eyeball wobbles. She
reached to the ground, ignoring the broken keystaff, and slammed the Garnet Orb
at Minako. Minako carefully blocked. Setsuna nodded.
"CHRONOS TYPHOON!" She shouted at the truly insane senshi garbbed in
gold. The Garnet orb glittered, then nothing. Setsuna stared at the largest red
orb. Strange little elastic things were coming out of it... "A KOOSH BALL?!?! I
GET A KOOSH BALL?!?!" Setsuna growled as Minako laughed. "FINE! CHRONOS SONIC
KOOSH!" Thousands of red strand flew at Minako.
"VENUS LOVE AND CHRONOS SHOCK!!!" The gigantic orange heart flew at Pluto
and knocked her down. A secoond later, it reappeard and struck again. It did
this for the next five minutes, strategically jumping ahead in time and
knocking Pluto down.
"Venus, can't you turn that thing off?"
"Uh......no."
At the Tokyo General Psychiatric Wing...
"I'm telling you, Doctor, I'M THE REAL SAILOR URANUS!!!" The Doctor
laughed in a very maniacal way from his chair, grasped deep within the shadows.
"Why not do a `World Shaking' then?" The Doctor said in a low voice.
"BECAUSE I CAN'T!!!" Sailor Uranus whined.
"Why not try?"
"You want me to try?!? FINE! Uranus Sand Breeze!" A small gust ir orange
wind filled with sharp sands blew in.
"You're weaker? THEN I SHALL DESTROY YOU!" Shouted the doctor.
"Hun?" This was a reaction Haruka had not expected. She had heard all
kinds of terrible things about shrinks, but really....
Professor Tomoe swivled in his chair and laughed maniacally.
"AH!" shouted Uranus as she dove for cover.
A minute later...
Haruka was still croutching under the desk.
Tomoe was still laughing an hour later.
Back at the meeting...
"TURN IT OFF, VENUS!" Shouted Pluto, now becoming exsasperated.
"I CAN'T!!!" Jupiter and Mercury shrugged at one another.
"Mercury, what should we do?"
"Just switch the two's powers back, I guess."
"YOU GUESS?!?"
"Well, I don't have to know everything ALL the time, right?"
"YOU GUESS?!?"
"YES I GUESS!" Mercury shouted at Jupiter, suddenly towering over her.
"AND ANOTHER THING! I WANT TO HAVE PERMENANT BETTER POWERS AND BEAT UP SOME
YOUMA! I WANT TO GO FIND CHAOS AND ANNIHALATE HIM! I WANT TO BECOME A PHYS ED.
TEACHER! I WANT TO DUMP URAWA! D O Y O U U N D E R S T A N D M E,
JUPITER?????"
"Uh......yes..." Jupiter mumbled.
Back at the Psychiatric Ward...
Tomoe was still laughing.
Back at the---oh, never mind.
"Alright, prepare for Venus-Pluto power switch," said Luna.
"WAIT!" Shouted a voice. The senshi (the ones not currently in a
hospital,) swivled around.
"Who's there?"
"The soldier of training and superiority..."
Venus: "blah blah blah..." she mimicked,
"I am Sailor Artemis!"
Tomoe's laugh began to echo across Tokyo.
"ARTEMIS????" Shouted Luna. Artemis, now in his/her female for, ran up
and shook her paw.
"You were right, Luna! Girls get all the best parts in this show. I just
ran to Kinmoku and asked for advice! Look! I'm a SAILOR SENSHI!!!"
"I told you he was a transvestite," mumbled Minako to her compact and
`boss.'
An Earthquake occured in London, Ontario...
"On the news tonight, massive earthquakes have been happening world wide.
Waves hidden deep within the Earth, seemingly coming from..." the newscaster
turned in his seat and whispered to the off-set, "are you sure this is right?"
A man behind a camera wearing an `X-Files forever!' T-shirt nodded. The
newscaster shook his head and coughed, "The waves appear to be coming from a
Psychiatric Wing in Tokyo..."
After the senshi had gotten rid of Artemis, (Combined attacks strike fear
in to almost ALL hearts...) Luna proceeded with the power switch. Pluto closed
her eyes and felt the waves of her old energy wash over her.
"Chronos....THANK YOU!" Minako let out a little whimper. Luna coughed.
"To complete the rest of the power changes we need the other senshi back.
Outer Jupiter and Mercury, go to the Psychiatric Wing of Tokyo General and Find
Uranus and Neptune. Venus and Pluto, go find Mars." Mercury stood up.
"I DON'T WANT TO!!!"
"Mercury, if you don't, we'll...we'll...."
"Make you sit through the 24 hours Brady Bunch marathon!" Pluto said
decisivly. Mercury shook into convulsions.
"I'll, I'll do as you say, Luna. Anything but that!"
"She IS wise," whispered Jupiter to Venus, indicating Pluto.
"I don't know about that,"
"You're right. She WAS stupid enough to trade powers with you..."
London shook and the author's computer flashed. If she didn't finish this
infernal fanfic soon it would end up handwritten.
"Uranus!" Shouted Neptune as she ran into the room.
"Cover your ears!"
"Why?"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!"
"Oh." Haruka stood up and branished her Space Dagger.
"To save the world we must sacrifice the laughter of this insane
psychotic!"
"Uranus, was that really necessary?"
"Yes. It's encrypted in my genetic code."
"Oh."
"Are you ready, Neptune?"
"Yes. Minisub Reflection!"
"Space Dagger Blaster!" The combination of the two attacks hit Professor
Tomoe squarely on the chest. He stopped laughing and looked down. The attack
faded into nothingness. He smiled. Then he started laughing again. Uranus and
Neptune whinced.
"Do you have a sock?"
"Nylons. Sorry."
"Mercury Aqua Shock!"
"Jupiter Lightning Wave!" The two attacks blasted Tomoe to the floor.
There, standing in the (new) hole in the wall, were two overly dramatized
possed senshi.
"On behalf of water and with the powers of ocean, I am the Senshi of
Mercury!"
"On behalf of lightning and with the powers of sky, I am the Senshi of
Jupiter!"
"Would you two give us a break?" Said Uranus as she got up. Makoto's eyes
melted into little hearts. Uranus and Neptune began walking out the wall.
Jupiter's eyes followed the fading figure. As Neptune passed, she gave Jupiter
a well-placed elbow to the stomach. Mercury looked over her friend.
"See if we ever help you again! On behalf of-"
"Mercury?"
"Yeah?"
"Shut up."
"Where do we go, Pluto?"
"How am I supposed to know?"
"You DO know!"
"Yeah, well....I'm forbidden to say."
"Are you forbidden to write?"
"Yes."
"Are you forbidden to....cook?"
"No."
"Are you forbidden to.....date King Endymion?"
"Uh..." Pluto blushed, "Uh....."
"Don't worry. I won't say anything!"
"Domo arigato, Mina-san."
"Time Gates are pretty boring, hun?"
"I'm not a liberty to say."
"Great. Where did Mars go, anyways?"
"She harnessed Hotaru's powers. If we don't find her soon, the world will
be destroyed in towering infernos."
"Sometimes, Setsuna, I really, really REALLY wish you didn't know
everything already!"
"Deal with it. look," Pluto said, pointing to the horizon that had
suddenly gone red, "That must be her."
"Prepare for Neptune/Mercury and Uranus/Jupiter power switch."
"And here's some candy for you, and some for you, and some for you, have
a sailor mars bar, here you go, chocolate? Sure have some chocolate, have some
candy. You want my necklace? Take it. Candy, candy for you, and you, and more
for you, have a yen, you want a dolly? I'll go get you a dolly," said Sailor
Mars happily. Venus and Pluto looked at her in shock.
"The soldier of war...."
"Has become a sissy?" Venus added insightfully.
"Crudely put, but....yeah."
"Mars?" said Venus as she walked up to her friend, "Mars?"
"VENUS! HI! Would you like a dolly?" Mars said as she stuffed an ugly
doll from the crane game in her face.
"No....no! No! NONONONONONONNONONON no n o n o n o
n..nnnnnn....nnnn....n o n o n o o o o o o o o!" You could here as
she ran off in the distance. Sure enough, the very sight of the cursed crane
dolls had sent the soldier of love into a psychotic panic.
"Mars?" said Pluto, ignoring the screams of terror from the fading figure
of Venus.
"WOULD YOU LIKE A DOLLY?" Pluto looked at the doll Mars was stuffing in
her face. She looked at it carefully, a thoughtless expression on her face.
"No."
"Oh..."
"Mars, we need you to go back and switch powers with.....
with...with....uh.....ho hum.......I knew a minute ago, I know I
did.....uh......um.....wellll......I guess it's not important
uh...." As Pluto `ho'ed and `hum'ed for another few minutes, Mars gave away the
rest of the remaining dollys.
"Ready to go?"
"Yes." Mars smiled.
"That's good. Because today is a HAPPY day!!!" Mars `la la la la la-ed
all the way to the temple as Pluto hung her head in despair.
`I'm going to go back in time and kill Luna before she does any of this,'
she thought with a sigh.
"Prepare for Mars/....uh......uh...." Luna trailed off. Hotaru waved her
hand madly in front of her. "Uh......uh......uh......"
"ME!"
"Uh.........."
"SAILOR SATURN!!!!!!!" Luna looked down at her calculator. Let's
see.......9 pages, line 8", that means....she typed in a few figures..."You've
been mentioned directly or indirectly or indicated 8 times so far.....that
means.....lets see, that's more than 90% of the story you've been in, that
would mean...." Hotaru looked on anxiously as Luna counted, "Let's
see...looking at me anxiously, that puts 'er up to nine....Yes, I think we can
mention you 3 more times to be acceptable..." Hotaru sighed.
"Great."
"Prepare for Mars/Saturn power switch,"
The sun shone brightly overhead. Everyone was feeling more or less
normal, and having a good day. A picnic lunch, ice cream, (Everyone had been
careful to tell Usagi to get into a least 5 fights with Rei. No need to repeat
the previous scenario....)
"Luna," said Minako, looking at the black cat who was spread out over the
grass to expose her self to the sunlight, "Where's Artemis?"
"At your house."
"N....no...."
"I don't know!"
Four lights flashed above in the sky. The senshi shielded themselves with
their arms.
"Hey!" Shouted a figure.
"Who?"
"The Sailor Star Lights!"
"AND SAILOR ARTEMIS!!!!" All the senshi sweatdropped. Artemis gave them a
ditzy smile. Seiya stepped forwards to give Usagi a hug when....
A tidal wave washed over Japan...
Massive earthquakes hit the U.S...
Canada was subjected to massive ice storms ; )
England was covered in a fog.....
Lightning began striking a random in Mexico and China....
The clouds grew dark and ominous.
The senshi henshined and looked around.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!" Laughed professor Tomoe.
(It's the end of the world as we know it....)
"Here we go again...."
