Beryl-rabbit sat in the basement of the Dark Kingdom, idly munching on
a carrot. *How did I get myself into this?* she
wondered. *Now if I had left
one general alive to turn me human again...*
Suddenly a shadow appeared above the quivering rabbit. "Thought you
could get rid of me so easily, did ya?" the thundering
voice said. Beryl gulped in
fear.
Metallia reached over and picked up the terrified Beryl. "I'm back,
I'm bold,and much more beautiful than you ever were!
You thought you could get rid of
me using DiC as an excuse? Well you were wrong, all wrong!
Ha!" The rabbit sweatdropped.
(Well, I certainly thought it was
a good excuse! -Cheryl)
Beryl held up a sign: *Gulp*. In her other paw she held up another
sign: Eh- heh heh heh heh... mercy, please?
Metallia smiled broadly as stars clouded her eyes. "Why of course,
mercy! You're my favorite sorceress. In fact, you're
my only sorceress. Your body with
live forever- but I will be living inside it!!! HAHAHAHA!!!"
The rabbit shrank away and clawed desperately at air to get away.
Metallia stretched her mouth open wide, like the
Coneheads, and swallowed Beryl whole.
Suddenly, in place of Metallia, there was a big, fat, rabbit. And
it was growing. Fast.
Sailor Moon was waiting impatiently for the rabbit to stop growing.
"Are you done yet?!?!" she yelled. "I don't have all day
you know."
The giant rabbit paused in its growth and turned to face Sailor Moon.
It held up a sign: What, are you in a hurry to die or
something?
For once Moon actually tried to read the sign. "Hey!!! I've
got things to do, you know. Unlike some people, I lead a very
busy life that has to do with pigging
out, reading comic books, talking, eating some more, then sleeping... sleeping
some more..."
Suddenly Cheryl and Michelle were there again. "Wow," Cheryl commented.
"You know, Michelle, your life and hers are
very alike."
"What do you mean we are alike? I think you meant to say that you
and Sailor Moon are alike," Michelle retorted.
"Me?" Cheryl said innocently. "But you suck, and I don't. Sailor
Moon sucks too."
"WHAT?!?! I don't suck you do!" Michelle and Cheryl proceeded
to alternate between arguing senselessly and beating the
crap out of each other while Sailor
Moon and Metallia sweatdropped.
Metallia-rabbit turned human again, while keeping her size, and cast a
spell to banish the two authors back to their own
reality.
"Thanks," Sailor Moon said. "We needed that."
"Sure thing." Metallia looked at her watch. "You know, I think
we have to go back to our script. But I really think it sucks.
And so do our authors."
"HEY!!!" two voices thundered from beyond the sky.
"You take that back this instant! Do you hear me!"
"We're taking both of you out of the fanfic for that!"
Sailor Moon stuck her tongue out at the furious pair. "Well you can't
take me out of this one! I'm the star of the show!
Nyah-nyah nyah-nyah!"
Metallia was ticked off that Sailor Moon would be selfish enough to save
herself and leave her to be taken out of the fanfic.
Then shecame up with a truly sinister
idea. "Hey authors," she sweetly called. "Why don't you make
sure that Endymion never
comes back to Princess Serenity?"
"Hmm... that's a truly good idea..."
"Yeah... let's do it!"
"Hey, wait!" Moon protested. "We're destined to be married!
What will happen to Chibi-Usa then?"
Cheryl and Michelle exchanged looks. "I think the world would truly
be better off without her..."
"Hmmm... I've got it!" Cheryl exclaimed. "Why don't we give her to
Dimando? Then we can make sure Chibi-Usa never
exists!" *And
we can sentence Dimando to eternal torment...* she thought.
"Perfect! Finally, they can be together! Dimando's cool..."
Michelle had stars in her eyes, fantasizing about the future
Black Moon bad guy. The two
authors left the reality.
Sailor Moon was really pissed off. "YOU..." she growled at Metallia.
"You'll pay for my pain!!!"
Metallia was equally angry at Sailor Moon. She liked Dimando, and
she pitied the guy for having to be stuck with the bratty
senshi. "Ha!!! You don't
even know how to use the crystal!"
"I do too!" Sailor Moon searched the surface of the ginzoushou, trying
to figure out where the instructions were. "Come on,
come on, I know they were around
here somewhere..." she murmured frantically.
"Nyah-nyah, I was right..." Metallia gathered her strength and prepared
to blast Sailor Moon. "Now I can take over the
show and save Dimando from his hideous
fate!"
"What! No!!" Sailor Moon called upon the spirits of the inner
senshi, her friends. "Help me, please..."
"Why should we?" Mars asked. "Do it yourself!"
"Oh, come on guys, we might as well, I guess," Jupiter said.
"Traitor! She didn't exactly miss us when we died..." Venus said.
"Well, why don't we help her so we can go back, defeat Metallia, be reincarnated,
and beat up Usagi?" Mercury suggested.
The three girls were astonished. "What a good idea! Thanks
Mercury!"
"Don't mention it," she smoothly replied. "Now let's go!" The
four senshi' spirits came back from the dead and quickly
instructed Sailor Moon how to use
the ginzoushou before Metallia struck.
"Gee, thanks!" Moon said.
"Just hurry up and blast Metallia out of the fanfic..." Mars replied.
"Oh, fine. Here... goes!" Sailor Moon twirled in place for
a few minutes, then waved her hands around while shouting some
gibberish. Meanwhile, Metallia
was sweatdropping while the spirits of the four senshi sat down talking.
"Did you really know how to use the crystal?" Venus asked. "I didn't."
"Neither did I," Mercury admitted.
"No idea whatsoever."
"Nope."
"Oh well," Venus cheerfully commented, "at least she can die and we can
beat her up as ghosts." The other four girls
nodded, watching.
Sailor Moon topped it off by doing some backflips, walking upside-down,
and a speech about lowering taxes. Then spreading
her arms apart while standing on
one toe, she balanced the ginzoushou on her nose. Finally, she formed
a spit-bubble and watched
it slowly float across the ice towards
her enemy.
Metallia gulped. *This was not supposed to happen!* she thought.
"You can't do this to me!!!" she screeched, as the tiny
bubble bounced on the ground a few
times, then squeezed her inside. "I'll be back!!!"
Sailor Moon dropped the crystal on the ground and sat down. Suddenly
Metallia appeared next to her. "Okay, next time,"
she said, "make bubbles the right
size. Here, let me show you how to do it." So, for the next
hour or so, Metallia instructed Sailor
Moon on creating spit bubbles and
making them the right size.
"Oh, thanks. Now I might be able to do it better next time!"
"Anytime." Then Metallia returned to the tiny bubble and resumed
her screaming, because there simply wasn't enough space
in the bubble.
"Ugh," Sailor Moon groaned. "I've learned too many things in one
day. I must... sleep..." Then she keeled over and died.
"Please, Queen Serenity," Michelle pleaded. "You must reconsider!"
"Certainly there can be another star of the show- Venus, maybe?"
The regal queen shook her head sadly. "I'm sorry, girls, there is
not much I can do about it. My decision is final."
"I don't suppose we could threaten her..." Michelle suggested.
"No! Queen Serenity is cool. Neo-Queen Serenity doesn't come
near her coolness," Cheryl whispered back.
"Well, we tried. Thank you, Queen Serenity." Michelle bowed,
then turned to Cheryl. "You going yet?"
"You go ahead," Cheryl replied. "I'll be there soon." Michelle
vanished with a splash of color- more elegant now that she
was leaving by her own will for
once- that left both Serenity and Cheryl dripping wet.
"Ugh, not again... I'm sorry, I'll have to talk to her about that," Cheryl
apologized.
Queen Serenity smiled, wringing out her beautiful dress. "So, what
was it that you wanted to talk to me about?"
"Well... I... um, well, you see-" Cheryl began. Seeing the calm look
in Serenity's eyes, she got her words straight. "I was
wondering if there were any senshi
positions available."
"Senshi positions?" Queen Serenity pursed her lips, deep in thought.
"I'll have to think about it."
"Puh-leaaaassse?"
Serenity smiled, then made an offer. "I know," she said, "I'll make
you a senshi for an episode, and I will continue searching
for an empty position."
"In return?"
"Let my daughter marry Endymion. Although I feel sorrow for him-
with Usagi acting like a pig, a slob, and spoiled brat and
all," Serenity paused, feeling compassion
for the doomed prince. "Maybe some of his influence will rub off
on her." Then she
grimaced. "Or he'll just learn
to put up with her."
Cheryl immediately accepted. "Thank you, thank you, oh thank you!"
The author vanished in a sudden bluish breeze.
Mammoru walked down the street, trying to block out his head pain.
"From whence did mine headache come from?" he
mused, trying to recall the last
few days. He couldn't really remember anything... except for a horrifying
ordeal involving a tall
red-head and a pair of yellow meatballs.
"What a strange dream..."
He looked across the street and noticed a screaming mass of yellow dashing
through the streets, blocking up traffic and
hurling cars aside. Another
flurry of yellow hair rushed through the sidewalks, but it was quieter
and posed less of a threat to
human society. One of them,
the noisier, seemed familar... but he just couldn't place it.
Sighing, Mammoru turned to the newspaper stand and picked up the latest
edition. The headline read: MYSTERIOUS
BISHOUJO SENSHI SAILOR CHERYL SAVES
TOKYO. *The Sailor Senshi? Why dost that name ring a bell?*
He
looked at the blurry picture of
a familiar robber being held captive by the senshi in question. The
grinning girl wore a dark
blue-and-white fuku with an outrageously
short skirt, while the robber appeared to be shouting at the senshi.
*Michelle...? How do I know her name?* Mammoru sighed again
and walked home, waiting for the next season to
begin so he could regain all his
lost memories.
