25. Koisuru kairiki shoujo, Jupiter-chan (21. Jupiter Comes Thundering In)

    In the Negaverse...
    "Long time ago, Queen Serenity of the Moon used the power of the Imperial Silver Crystal to capture the seven strongest warriors of the Dark Kingdom in seven crystals known as Nijizuishou... and sent them to Earth, to be reborn as a Cereal......"
    "Wait a second...a Cereal?!!!?" Zoisite and Kunzite shouted at the same time in disbelief.
    "Yes.  And in her favorite cereal, Lucky Charms, which is the one we, the bad guys, hate the most.  It is also believed that her easy defeat was due to having too much of that and having cavities, which lessened her strength..." the two remaining generals of the Dark Kingdom stared at Queen Beryl, not wanting to believe what they were hearing.  Queen Beryl continued, ignoring the two.
    "They were captured in seven crystals known as Nijizuishou, in color of rainbows.  Those seven crystals are the ones that I want 'cause I feel like having them, and theywill make me really powerful because it's going toreveal the Imperial Silver Crystal.  Get it?  It's N*i*j*i*z*u*i*s*h*o*u.  Don't forget that word.  By the way, this is the Kurozuishou.  It will guide you to the carrier of the Nijizuishou," Queen Beryl tossed a dark crystal toward Zoisite, who caught it in midair gracefully.  Very happy to
 finally get a mission, he decided to try it at once, in an attempt to impress Queen Beryl and Kunzite.
    "Kurozuishou, show me the one with the most probability of carrying the first Nijizuishou!"
 Zoisite shouted, proudly throwing the Kurozuishou into the midair.  There was a silence...as the crystal helplessly fell on the ground.  NOTHING HAPPENED.
    "Um...Queen Beryl?" Zoisite sweatdropped.
    "Oh yeah, I forgot to recharge it," Queen Beryl hit her forehead with her right palm lightly.
    "We'll have to wait until the next thunder recharges it again."
    All Negaverse Creatures: "......"

    "I'm LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATE!!!" Usagi yelled as she stormed outside the door in a hurry, with a sandwich in her mouth.  "I'm late, I'm late, I'm Reeeeeealy late!! Again!!"
    Usagi kept running until she bumped into a tall guy with a long, dark brown hair.  They both collided onto the pavement, but soon got up.  Usagi, standing up, noticed his uniform's nametag with the word 'Nephrite' on.   "Nephrite?!!?" Usagi yelled in surprise, still staring at the man who was passing by her.  But he stepped on Usagi's feet by mistake during this process, Which led to another one of....
    "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! That HURTS!!!" Usagi yelled in her highest voice possible.  The man looked back, and seeing Usagi crying, came running back.
    "I'm so sorry," he apologized in a polite tone.  "I really didn't mean to.  I hope you're okay.  If you'll excuse me, I have a job I'm already late for, so......"  The man turned around, and Usagi stared at him with eyes that were still teary, yet with hearts in them.  That was when both of them heard a rumbling sound across the town......
    "How DARE you?!!?" A tall girl with brown uniform and a brown ponytail glared at the man, as she blocked his way. Usagi and the man just stared at her blankly.  And the next thing Usagi knew...the girl has started beating up the guy, who attemped to run away several times with no success.
    Finally, when the guy started crying, the girl let him go.  Usagi just stared at the girl blankly, forgetting to go to school.
    "I HATE impolite guys!!!" she yelled, and also started laughing simultaneously.  "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.....it's SOOOOOO much fun to beat up guys!!!"  She put a big trashcan on her back and started running toward somewhere.
    Luna, Usagi: "......"

    Umino was annoying.  Couldn't he see that she was BUSY?  Usagi strolled down the school ground, in an attempt to lose Umino.
    "Look, Usagi!  There's the new girl!" he excitedly shouted, raising his huge glasses.  "She got kicked out of her old school because she kept beating up the male teachers, and because the principal got beaten up by her, too! Just stay away from he... Usagi?" Umino sighed as he saw that Usagi had already disappeared to who-knows-where.
    Meanwhile, Usagi was with Makoto, the new transfer student.
    "You're the one who beat up that guy in the morning, right?  You're so strong..."
    "Oh, thanks," Mako blushed a bit.  "That's because I always have Lucky Charms for breakfast.  You know, it's so delicious?"
    "Yeah, they are my favorite too!" Usagi agreed eagerly.
    "I always have them for lunch, too!  But for some reason Walgreens didn't have them for the past two days..." Mako spilled out the contents of the garbage can, and bunch of cereal boxes appeared in front of Usagi's eyes.  She squealed in delight, but as if happened to remember something, she took out a white stack of paper and started going through them.
    "What's that?" Mako asked as she peered in.
    "Oh, the script.  I think we have to go and meet Crane Arashi no Joe now... we don't have the time to go to the arcade.  Let's meet him in the street!"
    "Okay," Mako reluctantly agreed, grinning inwardly.  'Good,' she thought.
    'Maybe I can beat him up as well......'

    "This sucks," Zoisite retorted as he carried two bagful of Lucky Charm cereal boxes, all of them obviously visible to have been opened once.
    "How am I supposed to find the Ninjashou among all these Cereal Boxes?  And WHY did that Serenity have to put it in LUCKY CHARMS, of ALL OTHER ONES?!!!?  Only if that stupid Beryl recharged the crystal earlier, I won't have to go through this stupid trouble of finding that crystal like this...
    I could have just picked on ONE person!!"  Zoisite kept grumbling as he strode along, until she saw a man with a cap on, who had THREE bags of mini Lucky Charm Cereals.  Zoisite slowly approached the man, who eyed him suspiciously.
    "I didn't steal 'em," he said, hiding the bags behind his back.  "I got 'em from the UFO Catcher Cereal Boxes in Crown Game Center."
    "YOU are the first NINJASHOU carrier!!" Zoisite shouted as he came into realization.  "I got all the ones from Walgreens and you have MORE than me!!"
    "A...what?" a puzzled Joe just stared at Zoisite, who charged toward him.
    "Gimme 'em!!"
    "No, I won't give you 'em!!!"
    "Just gimme 'em!!"
    "Not 'em!!!"
    They kept fighting over 'em.  Then Usagi and Mako came to the scene.     "Oh no!" Usagi cried.  "Moon Prism Power!!" A cheezy music started to  play, and the lengthy transformation began as usual as Usagi was enveloped  in pink ribbons, complete with a stamp and all.
    "Wow, you're Sailor Moon?" Mako exclaimed.  "Am-a-a-a-azing!!!"
   Meanwhile, Zoisite had knocked Joe unconscious and was wolfing down Joe's  Lucky Charms, until he bit into a rainbow-shaped one that just wouldn't crush.  He took it out of his mouth, and it turned into a red crystal.
    "The first of the Nijizuishou!! Mine, mine, ALL mine!!!" Zoisite started laughing maniacally (just like Kodachi Kunou), and disappeared.
    "...Tsukini Kawatte, Oshioki yo! Huh, where did he go?" when her long transformation and speech was finally over, Zoisite was long gone.  Instead, she found Makoto beating up Joe.   "Mako! Matte! What are you doing?!"
 Usagi yelled, but Mako didn't seem to listen.
    "You jerk!! Why did you let him take it?  Now the world is in a great  danger because of you!"
    "Mako-chan, stop it!" Sailor Moon stepped between Mako and Joe, ending the fight.  "Anyway, how did you know the world was in danger because of  it?"
    Mako laughed nervously, sweatdropping.  "Actually, I didn't.  But I just needed an excuse to beat him up......" Luna and Sailor Moon both sweatdropped.  They were sighing heavily, not noticing Game Machine Joe approaching Makoto from her back.   "I'm Game Machine Joe!" Joe rose from the dea- um, unconsciousness, by transforming into one of the seven strongest warriors of the Dark Kingdom.  He tried grab Mako by her hair...
    "Oh, shut up!  Can't you see I'm busy, talking?" ...but Mako was proved to be too fast for him, and threw him over her head before that happened.
    As she did, the Jupiter sign appeared on her forehead, and Luna recognized her as Sailor Jupiter.  Overthrown Game Machine Joe was detransformed back into normal joe with a cap on.
   "Well done," Luna complimented Mako.  "as the reward, you can have this henshin stick that represents the power of Jupiter."
   "Gee, thanks!! Now I can beat up more guys!!!" Mako was fairly amused.
   "Hey, can I join?" Sailor Moon got along with being exciting.
   Luna sadly shook her head, seeing the two scouts laughing together.
   Thousands of sweatdrops appeared on the back of her head.  "I think we got one more of an airhead as an addition to our team..."
