Episode 9
"Hot Day, Chill Of Night"
Weather Man: ...and if you've been outside
Kinoko: ..it's a scorcher, right? right?!
Weather Man: it's pretty, heh, warm..
Kinoko: ohh.. almost knew what he was going to say
Weather Man: many people are probably getting ready to go to the beach, heh, I think I will
News Man: I would.. but I'm stuck here...
Kinoko: shut up
{click}
Kinoko: but that sounds like a good idea... a very good idea
{knock} {knock}
Kinoko: who could that be?
She walks up to her door and opens it.
Kinoko: hello?
Akira: hi, it's me!
Kinoko: who'd have guessed?
Akira: guess what Kinoko..
Kinoko: (sarcastically) hmm.. let me think... is it hot outside?
Akira: yeah.. it is.. can I come in?
Kinoko: why?
Akira: my house is hot, and the air conditioner's broke
Kinoko: so go to one of your friend's houses
Akira: {fake cough}{fake cough}
Kinoko: what?
Akira: hm hm (looks around)
Kinoko: oh I get it, I'm your friend right?
Akira: huh huh
Kinoko: {sigh} ....hmm, ok, you can stay
Akira: thanks Kinoko-chan
Akira walks in along with Kinoko. They both sit on the couch.
Akira: you doin' anything today?
Kinoko: nope, just staying.. doing nothing but staying warm.. or cool
Akira: geez, how exciting..
******
Both Usagi and Luna lay on Usagi's bed.
Usagi: oh man, it sure is hot today
Luna: I know that.. it must be over 90 degrees
Usagi: tell me about it
Luna: it's funny how just yesterday it was warm and comfortable
Usagi: yeah, what was it? 70 degrees?
Luna: I wonder if this heat has to do with the Master..
Usagi: yeah, or that ninja or that robot
Luna: is it possible for them to increase the heat of the sun?
Usagi: I hope they aren't that powerful
Luna: I hope not too..
Usagi: hey, what if they could control the sun?
Luna: then.. I don't think that we could beat them.. seeing how they have been beating us a lot
Usagi: so, are you giving up?
Luna: no.. I can't, we can't.. I just don't want you guys getting hurt
Usagi: thanks for the concern.. but I think that we can beat them.. we just need to get the ninja de-brain washed, so he can help us.. plus, I think Kinoko-chan is a big help, we just need to train her real good
Luna: I would like to do both of those things, but I just wouldn't know how to do that, it's just too much for us
Usagi: too much, eh? hey I got an idea.. let's take a break
Luna: take a break?
Usagi: yeah.. when was the last time we had fun?
Luna: beats me
Usagi: well, how about we all take a little vacation to the beach
Luna: but it's too hot
Usagi: that's what the beach is for, the water should be perfect
Luna: I guess a small trip to the beach wouldn't hurt.. I just hope no monsters attack
******
The Master: heh heh heh, excellent, making the sun get hotter is bringing people out to the beach.. heh heh, I can gather many people and much energy, this was a good idea my dear dark friend
A-51: thank you Master
The Master: do you have someone to do the job? or are you doing it alone?
A-51: I have someone to do it, along with the chosen one
The Master: oh? are you trusting him again?
A-51: something was wrong with him.. when I turned his mind evil, well, it didn't work, I think I triggered some of his own intentions
The Master: evil? or good intentions?
A-51: well, he destroyed one of my monsters, plus he attacked me
The Master: did he attack the sailor senshi?
A-51: I think so..
The Master: hm hm hm.. that is very interesting, he wasn't good, he wasn't bad... tell me, why did he attack your monster?
A-51: it was because I ordered my monster to get rid of his girlfriend...
The Master: ha.. that could be it
A-51: I'm going to find the chosen one now
The Master: good, take your time, oh yeah, the ninja's deadline is over
A-51: you want to kill him now? but we have a job to do
The Master: I said nothing about killing him yet.. the chosen one is your responsibility now, you get to take care of him
A-51: what if he turns good, and tries to stop us from taking over?
The Master: well, first, I would kill him... then I would have to kill you
A-51: uh ok, I'm going now (disappears)
The Master: heh, the second chosen one has no power compared to me... I will finally take over this world! my armies will be ready soon, this world has no chance.. ahh, what a relief it is, I can't believe this planet is so hard to take over, I have to give credit to the sailor senshi, they put up a good battle.... with Queen Beryl that is, and the Dark Kingdom, but then, they were weak as well
******
Makoto sits in her dining area, with a fan blowing in her face.
Makoto: where did all this heat come from? it's so hot...
{knock}{knock}
Makoto: hm? who would be outside in this weather?
She walks up to the door and opens it, finding Kinoko.
Kinoko: hi Mako-chan
Makoto: hey Kinoko, what are you doing?
Kinoko: I'm gonna go to the beach
Makoto: hey, that sounds like a good idea
Kinoko: cool, you wanna invite anyone? hint hint..
Makoto: invite Kyuu-chan? yeah, I can do that, I'm sure he'd like to take a break from studying
Kinoko: good, now, how are we gonna get there..?
Makoto: you're telling me that you didn't think about that?
Kinoko: ok ok, how about the bus?
Makoto: works for me
Kinoko: good, now I'm gonna call up the others... you get Kyuu-chan, hee hee
Makoto: heh, ok..
{ring goes the telephone}
Kinoko: hey, your telephone is ringing
Makoto picks up her phone.
Makoto: hello?
Usagi: hey Mako-chan
Makoto: hey Usagi, what's up?
Usagi: I was wondering if you wanted to go to the beach
Makoto: well, Kinoko already asked me
Usagi: she did? wow, we think alike
Makoto: you sure do
Kinoko: who is it?
Makoto: it's Usagi
Usagi: is someone there with you? oh, I know, don't tell me, it's Kyuu-chan, right?
Makoto: no, it's Kinoko
Usagi: oops, guessed wrong, oh well, I already asked Rei, Ami, and Minako, they said they're going too... are you gonna ask Kyuu-chan?
Makoto: heh, yes, I am going to ask Kyuu-chan
Usagi: good, well, I'll see you guys later.. get ready, oh yeah, we're also taking the bus
Makoto: ok, I'll see you later
Usagi: bye
Makoto: bye
{click}
Kinoko: what did she say?
Makoto: she already asked everyone else
Kinoko: good, I'll be gettin' myself ready
Makoto: ok.. I'm going to get ready, then I'm going to ask Kyuu-chan if he wants to go
Kinoko: all right, I'll see you in a couple of minutes
Kinoko leaves. Makoto runs into her room and starts to get ready. Upstairs, Kyuuichirou sits on his couch. His living room is dark.
Kyuuichirou: what are all these weird things in my head.. these, feelings, most of them hurt, but I don't know why... I feel good when Mako-chan is around me though, but I also feel that she could be in danger when I'm around her
{knock}{knock}
Kyuuichirou: {sigh}
Kyuuichirou gets up and answers the door.
Kyuuichirou: Mako-chan.. hi, how are you?
Makoto: I'm fine (hugs Kyuuichirou) how are you?
Kyuuichirou: great
Makoto: that's good, so, how would you like to go to the beach?
Kyuuichirou: the beach?
Makoto: yeah, with Kinoko-chan, Usagi, Rei, Minako, and Ami-chan
Kyuuichirou: uh.. [maybe I shouldn't go, if monsters do follow me around.. I better not go] well, I have to study, I'd love to go, but I can't
Makoto: but you always study, you need a break... Ami studies a lot, but she knows when to stop and have some fun
Kyuuichirou walks up to Makoto and kisses her.
Kyuuichirou: I have to stay, you guys go and have a good time
Makoto: but..
Kyuuichirou: I have to stay..
Makoto: um, ok...
Kyuuichirou heads back into his apartment. Makoto walks slowly to her apartment.
Kinoko: hey Mako-chan.. what's wrong?
Makoto: Kyuu-chan, he didn't want to go
Kinoko: what? why?
Makoto: he said he had to study... but, it's no big deal
Kinoko: what? that's nonsense, let me talk some sense into him..
Makoto: no, leave him alone
Kinoko: oh, ok.. [what's up with Kyuu-chan, why won't he go... I thought Kyuu-chan loved being with Mako-chan all the time]
******
Sometime soon, everyone meets up at Rei's temple. They all gather around.
Luna: ok guys, I want you all to be careful, make sure you have your transformation sticks..
Usagi: don't worry Luna, no monsters will attack us
Luna: you must be alert anyway
Usagi: yeah, whatever
Makoto: {sigh}
Minako: what's wrong Makoto?
Ami: is Kyuu-chan coming?
Makoto: no
Rei: what? why not?
Kinoko: he says he "needs to study"
Minako: what for?
Kinoko: that's what I'm saying
Ami: why is he saying that? I thought he would come for sure
Usagi: yeah, you think he'd want to spend time with his girlfriend instead of books
Kinoko: I know, he should be with Mako-chan, not books, I think we should go to his apartment and pry him off those books
Makoto: stop making a big deal about
Usagi: huh?
Kinoko: what?
Ami: sorry
Kinoko: [I don't see why he'd rather be with stupid books than with Mako-chan]
Makoto: just don't bother him..
Kinoko: sorry
Artemis: well, you guys be careful when you're down there, ok
Minako: we will
Luna: if there is any trouble down here, we'll contact you
Usagi: ok ok, let's go guys
Everyone starts off to the bus stop. Luna and Artemis walk up to the temple.
Luna: {sigh} Usagi said we need to take a break..
Artemis: "we" meaning you and me, or "we" meaning Usagi?
Luna: who knows..
Artemis: heh.... {sigh}
Both Luna and Artemis start to stretch. They both lay down.
Luna: I can't believe how hot it still is
Artemis: well, it is the afternoon
Luna: {sigh} you know, I thought that maybe the Master might be responsible for this heat
Artemis: huh?
Luna: I thought that the Master might be able to increase the temperature of the sun
Artemis: that wouldn't be good
Luna: I just hope that he's not capable of doing so
Artemis: yeah...
Luna: I'm also worried if monsters attack everyone at the beach
Artemis: hmm... are you saying that the Master is taking control of the sun and heating it up so everyone gets hot and everyone goes to the beach so the Master can send monsters out to capture all the people?
Luna: huh? that could mean that he is creating a trap... at the beach
Artemis: uh.. you think that's it?
Luna: well... I'm sure that if anything happens, Usagi and the others can take care of it
Artemis: I hope so..
Soon, Haruka and Michiru walk up to the temple. Luna and Artemis get up and walk toward them.
Luna: hello Haruka, Michiru
Haruka: hi, where is everyone?
Artemis: they went to the beach
Haruka: did Kyuuichirou by any chance go with them?
Luna: no
Haruka: good
Artemis: why do you say good?
Haruka: well, I was meaning to tell you this, I already told Rei, Ami, Usagi and Minako
Luna: what?
Haruka: well, Kyuuichirou is a dangerous person
Luna: Kyuu-chan? I thought he was a nice person
Michiru: well, he is...
Haruka: but, he is dangerous as well... Michiru and I saw him destroy two monsters, single-handedly
Artemis: what?! he killed two monsters?
Luna: that can't be... it takes at least, all the senshi to beat one monster
Michiru: we didn't believe it either.. but we saw it with our eyes
Artemis: ...well, that's great! we got someone to help us!
Haruka: but, the thing is, we don't know if someone planted that fight for us to see, to make us think he was good
Luna: does Makoto know about that?
Haruka: I told her to keep away from him, just in case.. but she refuses to
Michiru: we want her to stay away from him until we find out if he's good or bad
Artemis: I can't see how he's bad
Luna: yeah.. but we have to be careful
Artemis: we could sure use some help though
Luna: I know
Michiru: do you know if there's a way to find out if he's good or bad?
Luna: uh.. I can't really think of any way
Haruka: we'll find out some how
Artemis: he better be good... we don't need any more enemies
******
On a bus heading for the beach.
Usagi: I can't wait to get there.. it's so hot
Rei: you got that right
Ami: I hope I didn't forget anything
Kinoko: like what?
Ami: well, I brought some books and..
Minako: oh Ami, don't you ever get tired of reading
Makoto: I wish Kyuu-chan would
Minako: Mako-chan, don't worry... hey, maybe he might surprise you and show up
Makoto: you think he would?
Minako: yeah
******
In some secret hiding place.
A-51: ok, I need to find the chosen one.. he's going to the beach... but first, I need to call on my good monster, Tymats!
An orange monster appears next to A-51. He looks like the other monsters, but orange.
Tymats: yes boss?
A-51: we're going to have some fun at the beach..
Tymats: heh heh heh... which one?
A-51: you know which one
Tymats: oh yeah... ha ha ha ha!
A-51: hm hm hm.. you go on ahead, disguise yourself, and I'll meet you there soon
Tymats: yes sir
Tymats disappears, and so does A-51.
******
At Kyuuichirou's apartment, he sits on his couch reading, and thinking as well.
Kyuuichirou: .....ugh, I can't stop thinking about her, maybe I should just go, even if monsters attack, I'll kill them if they even try
He stands up, puts his book away, and walks into his bedroom.
Kyuuichirou: but if Mako-chan sees me attacking those monsters... she might become scared of me and I don't want that
He starts to look through his dresser.
Kyuuichirou: I'll tell her about this weird power I have.. and I'll tell Ami as well... she deserves to know why I ran away from school
Kyuuichirou walks out of his apartment, then locks up the door. In his hand is a bag which has his swimming trunks and other things for the beach. He continues to walk away from the apartment building when suddenly, A-51 appears. Kyuuichirou drops his bag.
A-51: guess what? you're needed again
Kyuuichirou: who are you?
A-51: what? you know who I am... oh yeah, the memory thing.. ok, let me jog your memory
Kyuuichirou: you're not doing anything to me!
A-51: oh, yes I am
Small wires shoot out of A-51, heading for Kyuuichirou. Kyuuichirou quickly dodges the wires.
A-51: whoa, when were you so fast?
Kyuuichirou: I'll show you fast...
Kyuuichirou quickly jumps up into the air. He whips out a kunai with one hand and pulls another kunai out of nowhere with his other hand. Then, while in mid-air, Kyuuichirou throws both kunais at A-51. A-51 dodges them.
A-51: ha! you think you can hurt me with those knives?
Suddenly, fifty kunais head toward A-51 at a great speed. A-51 quickly evades the kunais just before they smash into the ground.
A-51: damn! where the hell did those come from!!??
Kyuuichirou lands on the ground.
Kyuuichirou: are you going to attack yet?
A-51: hmm, you've never attacked me like this before
Kyuuichirou: I've never seen you before
A-51: whatever
More wires shoot out of A-51. Before they reach Kyuuichirou, Kyuuichirou quickly throws five shurikens at the wires, cutting them.
A-51: aghh! where are those coming from?! how are you doing that!
Kyuuichirou: it's a gift
A-51: heh, I'll give you a gift [screw this, I'll kill him now, I can kill the senshi without him]
A-51 puts his hands together and begins to gather some energy. An orange light begins to glow within his hands. A-51 shoots a blast of fire at Kyuuichirou.
A-51: heh heh..
Kyuuichirou: METSU KEN!
Kyuuichirou shoots a blast of energy, with his hands, at A-51's fire blowing it away and then the blast heads for A-51.
A-51: damn! (disappears)
Kyuuichirou: huh? where'd he go?
A-51 appears behind Kyuuichirou. Then, Kyuuichirou quickly turns around and punches A-51 in the face.
Kyuuichirou: aghh! ow..
A-51: heh heh, I'm not no crappy 20th century robot, I'm made from the best material the future has to offer
Kyuuichirou: you're from.. the future?
A-51: (sarcastically) yes, I'm from the future sent to the present to destroy you
Kyuuichirou: what? what for?
A-51: heh, might as well tell you... you, my friend, are the chosen one, well, the second chosen one actually
Kyuuichirou: second? chosen one?
A-51: YES, the first chosen one was sent a millennium ago to destroy my Master... luckily, the chosen one defeated my Master
Kyuuichirou: who sent you from the future?
A-51: my Master
Kyuuichirou: so.. he lived to be over a thousand years old?
A-51: yeah well.. he don't look too healthy in the future
Kyuuichirou: ok.. how am I the chosen one?
A-51: beats the hell out of me... but, in the future, you will help the Sailor Senshi create the Holy Light
Kyuuichirou: what's that?
A-51: no one is sure, except for you, the senshi, and Neo Queen Serenity
Kyuuichirou: ....what?
A-51: don't worry, you won't have to worry about all that, cause I'm gonna kill you
Kyuuichirou: ......[the chosen one? me? maybe that's why I have this weird power.. maybe that's why monsters are always around.. to kill me.... I bet if I found the Sailor Senshi, I could get some answers]
A-51: are you thinking about something? your future? what will be of you? heh, how about your girlfriend? and your other friends? well, I have your answers, you will die, your girlfriend will die and your friends will die
Kyuuichirou: what?! no! I won't let you!
A-51: ha ha ha! say, what's up with that bag you're carrying?
The bag floats up to A-51.
A-51: heh heh, were you going to the beach? well, guess what, I sent a monster to capture all the people who are at the beach
Kyuuichirou: no!
A-51: you should thank me for stopping you from going there
Kyuuichirou: [no, Mako-chan and the others were heading to the beach, I gotta get there to protect them]
A-51: hey, look at the time, you gotta die
Kyuuichirou: no way
Kyuuichirou throws a smoke bomb at the ground, blinding A-51. Kyuuichirou quickly escapes.
A-51: ha ha ha.. you can run, but you can't steer clear of your fate, I will find you again
Kyuuichirou starts to run toward the temple.
Kyuuichirou: I know that before Makoto, Ami, Usagi, Rei, Minako and Kinoko go anywhere together, they always meet up at Rei's temple.. I just hope they haven't left yet
******
Back at the temple, Luna and Artemis lay on the ground, next to the temple.
Luna: it sure is good to finally get some rest
Artemis: yup, no worries what-so-ever
Luna: ......{sigh}
Artemis: are you worried about something?
Luna: no no, not worried about a thing
Artemis: me either.. and that's because I know that Kyuuichirou will be on our side
Luna: why are you thinking about that?
Artemis: because, look, there are no guys in this team, except for Mamoru and me, and Mamoru doesn't show up often
Luna: that's what you're thinking about?
Artemis: yeah! we need more men on this team
Luna: ok Artemis..
Artemis: you're not taking me seriously are you?
Luna: sure
Artemis: bwa ha ha ha!!
Luna: (looks at Artemis).....
Artemis: I'll be sleeping
Luna: [maybe he needs a vet]
Suddenly, Luna and Artemis hear someone coming up the temple steps.
Luna: hmm? who could that be?
Kyuuichirou runs up the steps, then he looks around.
Kyuuichirou: oh no, I'm too late.. I need to warn them about the monster
Artemis: [monster?!]
Luna: [what?]
Kyuuichirou: hey, Luna, Artemis..
Kyuuichirou walks up to them. Luna looks at Artemis.
Kyuuichirou: man, they left.. maybe I can find a fast way to the beach
Artemis: [I wonder if we should tell him about us..]
Luna: [if there's a monster around, I have to warn Usagi and the others]
Kyuuichirou: I gotta hurry up, I'll catch you later Luna and Artemis
Kyuuichirou runs off. Artemis starts to walk toward the temple steps.
Artemis: he said he needs to warn them about a monster.. does this mean a monster really is going after everyone at the beach?
Luna: so, there's a trap at the beach.. we need to contact everyone
Artemis: ok, let's hurry up
Luna: [who would have thought that we knew what the Master was up to]
******
Somewhere in the middle of downtown, on a busy street.
Driver: my god... look at this traffic, I'm going to be late for work! what causes these stupid traffic jams?
Suddenly, A-51 smashes onto the driver's car's hood.
Driver: AHHH!!
The driver quickly exits his car and runs away. A-51 looks around. Many other people also begin to run out of their cars after spotting A-51.
A-51: heh, look at all these insects, soon they will be servants to me and the Master, ha ha ha! ha ha ha! now, where is the chosen one?
Up where the traffic jam begins.
Akira: damn it grandma! can't you hurry!!??
Akira's Grandma: now now son, watch your mouth
Akira: agh!! why did mom stick me with this old fart?
Friend: wow, you're nice
Friend 2: yeah
Akira: hey, if you had a crappy grandma you'd complain
Akira's Grandma: where is that dog-gone beach...
******
At the beach, Ami, Kinoko, Makoto, Minako, Rei, and Usagi finally arrive.
Kinoko: here we are!
Usagi: yea, watch out people, here we come!
Rei: (sarcastically) yippee
Ami: hey, does it feel a bit warmer?
Minako: yeah, I think it does
Makoto: maybe it's because of the bus' air conditioner
Kinoko: come on guys, let's go find a good spot
Usagi: I'm right behind ya!
Rei: don't get yourself lost
Usagi: oh, it ain't too bad
Kinoko: actually.. look
The entire beach is crowded with people.
Usagi: ohh.. I didn't see that
Minako: you can't even see the beach
Makoto: you can't even see the sand
Rei: so.. who wants to search for the beach?
Kinoko: I'll find it
Ami: how might you do that?
Kinoko: the only way I can... plow through!
Kinoko starts to walk into the sea of people.
Minako: I suggest that we follow
Everyone begins to follow Kinoko.
Kinoko: look out people! excuse me, coming through!
They, they make it to the sandy shores of the water.
Kinoko: and here's the beach... just took a little aggression
Usagi: wow.. that was weird
Rei: hey, I found a good spot to stick our stuff
Rei walks up a couple of feet into the sand.
Rei: here..
Guy: um, sorry
Guy 2: this spot is reserved
Rei: what? I'm sure you can move a bit, there is plenty of space
Guy: it's reserved
Kinoko walks up to the guys.
Kinoko: she said to move a bit, guys!
Guy: oh.. uh, Kinoko-chan.. um, we reserved this place, uh, for you all
Kinoko: move please
Guy: ok... take all the space you want
Guy 2: ..she said please
Both guys start to walk off.
Usagi: Kinoko-chan, you are amazing
Kinoko: tee hee
Minako: hey, lets go hit the beach before we fry up here
Rei: (sarcastically) don't hit the beach too hard Kinoko-chan
Kinoko: oh, ha ha ha (smiles)
They all begin to take off their clothes. Under their clothes are their swim suits. Amazingly, Usagi's swim suit is pink, Ami's is blue, Makoto's bikini is green, Rei's swim suit is red, Minako's suit is orange, and Kinoko's bikini is white.
Usagi: hmm, since it's hot, we better put on some sun screen, we don't want to look like burnt potatoes
Ami: that's right
Minako: ok.. where is it?
Usagi: uh, you bring some Rei?
Rei: I think so..
Somewhere on the beach, close to Usagi and the others, is Akira, who is wearing gray trunks.
Akira: finally, no more grandma
Friend: dude, why'd we have to hitch hike with that speeding motorist?
Akira: hey it got us here quick, right?
Friend 2: yeah.. a little TOO fast, if you know what I mean
Akira: nope.. now lets go a-cruisin'
Friend: dude, we have only so much money
Akira: ok then.. let's go a-strollin'
Friend 2: I don't do strollin'...
They look at each other.
Akira and his friends: strut!
They begin a-struttin'.
Friend: hey man, where's that music coming from?
Akira: what disco music?
Friend 2: (quietly) who said anything about disco?
Back where Usagi and the others are.
Usagi: so, uh, Rei.. you think the water is warm?
Rei: find out yourself
Usagi: but sometimes the water likes to fool you... one day it's warm.. and the next it's..
Rei: cold!
Rei begins to force Usagi into the water.
Usagi: ahh! ...hey, it's warm
Rei: it is.. hm, I thought it was gonna be cold
Usagi: so.. did you want it to be cold so I can freeze?
Rei: well.. yeah
Usagi: (looks at Rei) take this (splashes water onto Rei)
Rei: hey! (splashes back) take that
Usagi and Rei playfully splashes water at each other. On the sand, Ami sits on a towel reading. Makoto walks up to Ami.
Makoto: are you just gonna be here?
Ami: yeah, I just want to relax for now
Makoto: ok.. well, Minako, Kinoko and I are going to walk around for a while
Ami: all right, I'll see you later
Makoto: we'll be right back
Makoto joins up with Minako and Kinoko. They start to walk off.
Kinoko: geez, it sure is crowded
Minako: you got that right
Makoto: not many people are in the water
Kinoko: you know, these people are also generating much heat, since it's so crowded
Minako: uh, yeah.. speaking of heat, we better hurry and get some drinks and while we're at it, find a few good men
Kinoko: yeah
Minako: and I'm sure that Kyuu-chan is somewhere on this beach
Makoto: you think?
Minako: of course.. he was probably on the bus for all we know
Kinoko: don't you think we would have noticed?
Minako: well, Mako-chan, remember the other day when Kyuu-chan sneaked up on us?
Makoto: yeah
Kinoko: he sneaked up on you?
Minako: yes, he was just playing around... but the thing is, we didn't even notice him, it was as if he just appeared out of thin air
Makoto: well, he is pretty quiet at times
Minako: maybe a little too quiet, if you know what I mean
Kinoko: no I don't
Makoto: I hope he is here
On the crowded beach, many people begin to fall asleep.
Ami: {yawn} I sure am getting a bit drowsy.. wonder why.. {yawn}
Akira and his friends strut passed Ami, then Akira backs up and stands above Ami.
Akira: hey.. aren't you Kinoko's friend?
Ami: {yawn} yeah.. are you Kinoko's friend?
Akira: yep
Friend: hey. you think Kinoko is here?
Friend 2: dude I'm gonna find her
Akira: whoa horsey, if you go lookin' for Kinoko, she'll beat you up, but if you happen to run into her, we might get to talkin'
Friend: then let's go run into her
Akira: no.. we'll just walk around
Ami: {zzz}
Akira: must be asleep
Friend: must be the heat
Friend 2: well, let's go now
Akira: ok
Somewhere on the beach stands a man, about 6'3", he has short blonde hair and blue eyes. Unfortunately, it is Tymats, disguised as a human.
Tymats: heh heh heh, the plan is doing excellently, many people have retreated to the beach to escape this heat.. little do they know that they will soon be slaves of the Master, ha ha ha... my sleeping spell should start working soon, so A-51 better get here quick to help gather up these people

Back at the temple, Haruka, Michiru, Setsuna and Hotaru arrive, meeting up with Luna and Artemis.
Setsuna: is something wrong?
Luna: well, we have bad news, and good news
Haruka: go ahead with the bad news
Artemis: monsters are going to attack at the beach
Setsuna: {gasp} we must get there quickly, we can't let the Master gather all those people
Hotaru: gather people?
Setsuna: that is the Master's plan.. just like in the Silver Millennium..
Luna: also, Haruka and Michiru, we believe that Kyuuichirou is on our side
Haruka: how do you know?
Artemis: well, he came up to the temple looking for Usagi and the others.. he wanted to warn them about the monster
Michiru: so he is on our side
Setsuna: ...we must stop him from creating his army
Haruka: Setsuna.. what are you talking about?
Setsuna: the Master.. there are so many people at the beach
Luna: you guys transform, we'll try to contact the others
Haruka: all right
******
At the beach, in a beach bag, many beeps go off, next to the bag is Ami, who is sound asleep. Above her stands Kyuuichirou, who is wearing his blue swimming trunks. He seems a bit built.
Kyuuichirou: [it's a good thing I found a fast way to the beach.. and so far, nothing's happened]
Ami: uhh..
Kyuuichirou: Ami-chan? you awake?
Ami: huh? (opens her eyes) huh?! Kyuu-chan? is that you?
Kyuuichirou: yeah
Ami: you look so.. uh, strong, I never noticed
Kyuuichirou: well, yeah.. uh.. [it's the training]
Rei and Usagi step out of the water.
Usagi: you never fight fair
Rei: it's cause you're a wimp
Usagi: hey, look! someone's talking to Ami
Rei: huh? that guy looks familiar
Both Rei and Usagi walk up to Ami.
Rei: uh, hello?
Kyuuichirou: (turns around) hi
Usagi: huh? Kyuu-chan? [he looks so strong..]
Rei: oh, hi Kyuu-chan.. I didn't notice you at first.. must be my vision
Usagi: hey Kyuu-chan, I thought you weren't going to the beach
Kyuuichirou: well..
Usagi: so you wanted to surprise her, huh? I get it
Kyuuichirou: well, I..
Rei: hey, where is Mako-chan? and Minako.. and Kinoko?
Ami: hmm.. I remember that they said that they were going to walk around
Usagi: well then, Kyuu-chan, go find her!
Kyuuichirou: but..
Usagi: (starts to push Kyuuichirou) hurry up, you don't want to keep her waiting
Kyuuichirou continues to let Usagi push him. Then, he begins to walk forward. Behind Kyuuichirou, Usagi gives him a thumbs up.
Usagi: good luck!
Usagi walks back to Rei and Ami.
Usagi: hey guys, lets go see what happens
Ami: {yawn} I don't know.. I'm getting a bit {yawn} tired
Usagi: what for?
Ami: I'm so... (lays down) {zzz}
Rei: hey, that's not like Ami.. she usually doesn't go to sleep like that
Usagi: maybe it's just the heat..
Rei: no, I don't think so
Usagi and Rei remain silent for a moment, then they hear a beeping noise.
Rei: that's the communicator!
Rei runs up to her bag and searches for her communicator.
Rei: here!
{beep}
Rei: Luna? Artemis?
Luna: guys, get yourselves ready, a monster might be attacking
Rei: where?
Luna: at the beach
Rei: really? how do you know?
Luna: Kyuu-chan, he said he was heading for the beach to warn you guys
Rei: what?!! we just met him a couple of minutes ago, he didn't say anything about monsters
Luna: did he say anything?
Rei: no.. actually, Usagi!
Usagi: what?
Rei: you didn't even let him say anything!
Usagi: what was he going to say?
Rei: just forget it.. Luna, how did he know?
Luna: I'm not sure
Rei: well, we better ask him a few questions
Luna: all right... oh yeah, what took you so long? we were trying to contact you..
Usagi: Rei..
Rei: Usagi, I'm trying to talk to Luna!
Usagi: Rei! Rei!
Rei: what? what's so important?!
Usagi: look at all the people
Rei: what? everyone's sleeping? so?
Usagi: look at the life guard
Rei: he's sleeping? maybe he's slacking
Luna: did Usagi say that people are falling asleep?
Rei: yeah
Luna: maybe that's part of the Master's plan.. Setsuna says that the Master is gathering people for his army
Rei: well, what do we do?
Usagi: we better wake up Ami
Luna: Ami's sleeping? quickly, get her up!
Usagi: Ami (shoves Ami) Ami-chan! wake up!
Kyuuichirou searches for Makoto.
Kyuuichirou: geez, I didn't even warn them about the monster
He begins to notice people laying down on the ground, everywhere.
Kyuuichirou: hmm, why didn't I notice this earlier?
Now, Kyuuichirou spots Makoto, Minako and Kinoko talking to a tall man with blonde hair.
Kyuuichirou: that has to be Mako-chan.. her hair is in a ponytail, and that's Minako, she has that red ribbon.. and I think that's Kinoko-chan, but who is that man?
Kyuuichirou begins to walk up to Makoto and the others. Kinoko and Minako talk to the man, who happens to be Tymats, and Makoto just stares at the ground.
Tymats: [heh heh heh, I'll take these girls and make them my personal slaves... ha ha ha ha!] so, you girls wanna go get a bite to eat?
Minako: uh.. yeah [this guy looks cute..]
Kinoko: I can go for that.. [he looks pretty cool, blue eyes, blonde hair.. but his smiles seems a bit queer]
Makoto: no thanks
Tymats: well, why not?
Makoto: it's just that, um, I'm waiting for my boyfriend..
Suddenly, Makoto receives a kiss on the cheek. She quickly turns around and finds Kyuuichirou, looking back at her.
Makoto: Kyuu-chan.. you're here
Kyuuichirou: sorry for taking long
Minako: [is that Kyuu-chan? wow, he seems so.. uh, strong]
Kinoko: Kyuu-chan? you're here? [he looks buff..]
Tymats: [who is this guy?] so, uh, you girls still wanna get something to eat?
Kinoko: huh? oh yeah..
Minako: sure
Suddenly, Akira and his friends happen to run into Kinoko.
Akira: ouch.. hey Kinoko!
Friend: ...dude
Friend 2: yeah.. ditto
Kinoko: go away, this guy is inviting me out to lunch
Akira: what?! no way.. that's not fair
Kinoko: why is that?
Akira: well... I wanted to go out with you first..
Tymats: you heard her.. go away boy
Akira: whoa, don't go calling me boy, ass-monkey
Kinoko: Akira!
Tymats: heh.. (walks up to Akira)
Akira: ...go ahead, hit me
Friend 1 & 2: bye bye (run away)
Kinoko: Akira! don't do anything!
Akira: {sigh} ..ok Kinoko
Tymats: how weak..
Tymats strikes Akira across the face, knocking him to the ground. Kinoko runs up to Akira.
Kinoko: Akira!
Minako: hey! why'd you hit him?! he didn't want to fight
Kyuuichirou: yes, that is true
Tymats: ha! a loser like him couldn't even fight
Kinoko: (kneels down next to Akira) Akira? are you ok?
Akira: ughh.. (looks at Kinoko) I'd rather listen to you... than fight with him... (eyes shut)
Kinoko: ...he's knocked unconscious (stands up) you knocked him unconscious..
Akira's friends are hidden somewhere close.
Friend: dude.. she's pissed beyond belief
Friend 2: it just boggles the mind, man, thinking of what she'd do
Kinoko: how could you go and JUST HIT ONE OF MY FRIENDS?!!!
Tymats: you don't need an ant like that for a friend
Kinoko slowly walks toward Tymats. Akira's friends watch as she draws near to Tymats.
Friend 2: he's dead..
Minako walks up to Makoto and Kyuuichirou.
Minako: we better calm her down
Makoto: no.. she knows what to do
Kyuuichirou: hmm
Kinoko steps up to Tymats.
Tymats: my dear.. you don't need him
Tymats sets his hand on her shoulder.
Friend 1 & 2: sh*t..
{CRACK!!}
Tymats: (with almost no breath) ....ah.. da..mn
Tymats falls on his knees in extreme pain, with his arms around his stomach. He then rolls on his side.
Kyuuichirou: goodness, I've never seen ..well, a girl do that before
Minako: ouch.. well, he deserved it
Makoto: now I see why Akira said people are afraid of her
Friend: good god
Friend 2: I want her for my bodyguard
Kinoko: who's weak?
Tymats: (still out of breath) ugh... [how can this be??!! I've never felt anything like that...] you're... going.. to.. pay
Akira's friends walk up to Akira, and so does Kinoko.
Kinoko: guys, take him home or something
Friend: yes'm
Friend 2: psst, we can't drive
Kinoko whips out some money.
Friend: amazin'
Kinoko: shut up.. take this and get a cab
Friend 2: as you say
Akira's friends take Akira away.
Friend: hey.. why ain't she comin'?
Friend 2: geez, are you stupid? Kinoko ain't finished with that dude
Friend: aw, man, I wanna see
Friend 2: lets just follow orders
Back where Kinoko and the others are at.
Kinoko: .....
Minako: you think she's still mad?
Kyuuichirou: I hope not
Kinoko walks up to Tymats, who is still on the ground.
Tymats: you are in big trouble little girl
Kinoko: so? you want a fist sandwich now?
Tymats slowly rises.
Tymats: so you are strong? heh, well.. I can be strong too....
Makoto: what? [oh no, he could be..]
Kyuuichirou: [...the monster]
Minako: what's he doing?
Usagi, Ami and Rei walk up to Makoto, Minako and Kyuuichirou.
Usagi: what's Kinoko doing?
Makoto: uh, guys..
Tymats skin begins to glow.
Kinoko: uh oh..
Suddenly, Tymats bursts into flames, blowing Kinoko away next to Usagi.
Usagi: Kinoko-chan!
Kinoko: ugh.. I'm ok
Everyone looks at Tymats, finding him in his true form.
Tymats: ha ha ha! now lets see how strong you are...
Kyuuichirou steps up.
Kyuuichirou: don't even try to hurt them
Tymats: you know, I don't like you either
Kinoko: (looks at Usagi and nods)
Usagi: huh?
Rei: (whispers) lets transform
Usagi: oh yeah...
Makoto walks up to Kyuuichirou.
Makoto: don't try to fight him
Kyuuichirou: I can't let him hurt you
Tymats launches a fireball toward Makoto.
Makoto: {gasp}
Kyuuichirou grabs her and hits the dirt, dodging the fireball.
Kyuuichirou: you ok?
Makoto: yeah..
Minako: [we gotta get Kyuuichirou away so we can transform]
Tymats: so.. you think you can dodge me boy? well, lets how you do with many fireballs!
Tymats begins to throw many fireballs toward Kyuuichirou. Kyuuichirou picks up Makoto and starts running and dodging the fireballs.
Usagi: come on Kyuu-chan.. you can make it
Kinoko: he's out of sight now.. lets transform so I can show this guy who's stronger
Rei: ready guys?
Ami: I am
Usagi: transform!
Tymats: heh.. what's this?
Ami: MERCURY CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!
Rei: MARS CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!
Minako: VENUS CRYSTAL POWER, MAKE UP!
Usagi: MOON ETERNAL, MAKE UP!!
Kinoko: hyaa!!!!
A great white light rises from below Kinoko. When it dims down, the Silver Senshi is shown, looking toward Tymats.
Silver Senshi: let's dance..
Sailor Neptune, Uranus, Pluto and Saturn arrive, standing next to the other senshi.
Sailor Uranus: where is Jupiter?
Eternal Sailor Moon: Kyuu-chan has her
Sailor Uranus: he captured her?!
Eternal Sailor Moon: no no, he saved her.. reminds me of Tuxedo Kamen..
******
Somewhere else on the beach, more toward the boardwalk-ish place, Kyuuichirou still has Makoto in his arms. Kyuuichirou looks behind himself.
Kyuuichirou: I think we lost that monster.. (lets Makoto down)
Makoto: thanks for saving me..
Kyuuichirou: Mako-chan, I will always protect you
Makoto: thanks Kyuu-chan..
Kyuuichirou: ..oh no, the others, I gotta help them
Makoto: don't worry, I bet the Sailor Senshi will save them
Kyuuichirou: [the Sailor Senshi... I need to ask them about my power..] Mako-chan, I need to go still, to make sure
Suddenly, A-51 drops in front of Kyuuichirou.
A-51: well hello there..
Kyuuichirou: Mako-chan, go! run!
A-51: heh heh
Kyuuichirou: leave her alone
A-51: did you notice that there is no one on the beach?
Makoto: what? (looks around) hey, that's right..
A-51: yes, more energy, more army
Makoto: why did you capture these people? don't you think someone will notice?
A-51: well, yeah.. but it doesn't matter, our army consists of powerful people.. we concentrate your puny human energy, and turn it into real power
Makoto: the Sailor Senshi will take you guys down
A-51: ha ha ha!! yeah right! heh heh heh.. if it wasn't for my DAMN ninja, I would have them all dead now.. but no, the senshi are no match for us
Makoto: they will defeat you!
A-51: sorry, but your world is doomed, the first chosen one, he won't help you.. the second chosen one..
Kyuuichirou: ....
A-51: yeah right..
Makoto: [second chosen one?]
A-51: ok, enough talk..
Kyuuichirou: Mako-chan, RUN!
******
Back at the fight with the senshi. The only senshi standing are the Silver Senshi, Sailor Pluto, and Eternal Sailor Moon. The Silver Senshi is hurt badly.
Sailor Pluto: Sailor Moon, just go, run
Eternal Sailor Moon: no, I'm gonna fight with you guys
Silver Senshi: no, you're the leader right? if the leader goes down, we go down.. just like ants.. if the queen dies, the other ants fall as well
Eternal Sailor Moon: no, you can make it, we can make it
Tymats: ..you wanna try again Silver Senshi? so far you're the only one who has hit me.. I sure can't wait to tell the Master who the Silver Senshi is too, same thing with the other senshi
Silver Senshi: grr.. you won't live to tell him!!
The Silver Senshi charges toward Tymats. Tymats quickly shoots many fireballs at her. The Silver Senshi dodges the fireballs, but gets hit on the sides. Then, the Silver Senshi shoots a blast of energy toward Tymats. He quickly jumps up dodging the blast and then he shoots a powerful fire blast toward the Silver Senshi. She tries to dodge the blast. The fire blast strikes the ground, missing the Silver Senshi, but knocks her onto the sandy beach.
Eternal Sailor Moon: no!!
Sailor Pluto: Eternal Sailor Moon, leave now!
Tymats: no you don't
Tymats disappears, then reappears next to Eternal Sailor Moon. He strikes her in the face knocking her down.
Sailor Pluto: NOO!!!
Tymats appears in front of Sailor Pluto and knocks her down as well. Although her vision is a bit blurred, the Silver Senshi watches as Eternal Sailor Moon and Sailor Pluto get knocked down unconscious.
Silver Senshi: ...no
Tymats: heh heh heh.. not a problem at all, I can't believe that stupid robot couldn't do this
The Silver Senshi slowly rises, staggering. Her whole body is burnt and bruised. She cups her hands together.
Silver Senshi: (weakly) I can't let him do this.. we can't let it end yet.. I will use the last ounce of energy I have to stop him.. even if it kills me
Tymats: what the living crap? the Silver Senshi? she still has some life? I didn't think she was that strong.. but I'll end it now, I'll burn all the senshi at once! ha ha ha ha!!!
Tymats begins to create huge balls of fire which begin to surround him.
Tymats: now die at the hands of the great Tymats!!
A tiny ball of light rises from the Silver Senshi's cupped hands. She looks at the small light. The light suddenly bursts into a bright sphere of light, the size of a softball. Tymats is then blinded by the light. The Silver Senshi tosses the ball of light toward Tymats, then she falls back down to the ground. The ball of light hovers in front of Tymats. Tymats' fireballs suddenly disappear and his fiery skin turns into a light grey color.
Tymats: what the?!!
Silver Senshi: now.. I must protect my friends..
Pea sized balls of light appear over all the other senshi. Then, a force field appears over them. The ball of light still hovers in front of Tymats. The great light still blinds him. Then, the ball of light gives out a burst of energy which starts to crush the ground below the blinding sphere and it begins to crush the blinded monster.
Tymats: aghh!!!!
His bones begin to crush. Then, just before his body is flattened, Tymats bursts into flames and turns into dust. The bright sphere hovers over a huge crater in which it created. The crater reaches from where Tymats died to where the Silver Senshi lies. All the other senshi are in the crater, but they are protected by the force field. There is a small spark in the ball of light, and a huge explosion erupts.
******
Where A-51 and Kyuuichirou stand. They both hear an explosion and spot the great light.
Kyuuichirou: oh no..
A-51: what the hell..
Kyuuichirou: maybe... that was the senshi
A-51: well, if it was.. they won't enjoy their victory for long!
A-51 shoots into the sky.
Kyuuichirou: no you don't!
Kyuuichirou quickly runs after A-51. A-51 lands on the crater, which now has been widened.
A-51: all the senshi seem dead.. but they aren't.. who did all this!!?? the whole damn beach is now a hole in the ground..
A-51 looks at all the senshi with his ruby red eyes. He aims his fist at the senshi.
A-51: DIIEE!!!!
His gun shoots out of his forearm and he starts shooting away at the senshi.
A-51: YAHHH!!!
A-51 runs out of ammo.
A-51: grrr..
A cloud of gun smoke clears. A-51 finds all the senshi in one piece.
A-51: what the? a force field? but how?
He looks around for a while, then finds the Silver Senshi laying in a puddle of water, in the middle of the crater.
A-51: you...
Kyuuichirou runs up to A-51.
Kyuuichirou: found you!
A-51: (turns around) grr.. I HATE YOU ALL!!
A-51 blasts into the sky. Kyuuichirou watches him as he flees. Makoto walks up to Kyuuichirou.
Makoto: how'd you get here?
Kyuuichirou: I followed.. the robot.. are you ok?
Makoto: yeah
Kyuuichirou: (looks at the senshi) oh man.. the senshi..
Makoto: I hope that they're all right
Luna and Artemis arrive. They look at everything.
Luna: [no!! this can't be!]
Kyuuichirou kneels down next to Eternal Sailor Moon.
Kyuuichirou: I can hear her breathing..
Makoto: [thank god]
Kyuuichirou: I think that they will be all right.. but, they are injured pretty bad
Makoto spots the Silver Senshi in the middle of the crater. She runs up to her.
Makoto: (whispering) oh no.. Kinoko-chan..
Kyuuichirou walks up to Makoto.
Kyuuichirou: she looks like she took the most hits
Makoto: will she be ok too?
Kyuuichirou: I think so
Makoto: [I'm sorry guys.. I wish that I could have helped]
Kyuuichirou: I bet the police will be here any second.. I think we should take all the senshi to some place safe
Sirens start to sound.
Kyuuichirou: I hexed it..
Makoto: there are to many to carry..
Kyuuichirou: oh, I wish that.. something would happen, so the senshi will be safe
Makoto looks around again.
Makoto: where are they?
Kyuuichirou: what?
Makoto: the senshi.. they're gone
******
At Kinoko's apartment, everyone is crammed in, again, except for Makoto. Kinoko lays on her couch asleep.
Luna: I am so glad that you guys are all right
Usagi: ughh.. so much for a small break
Ami: I bet that the beach will be closed for sometime
Minako: geez.. think about all those people who were captured
Setsuna: yes, we weren't on time
Rei: how can we be losing like this?
Haruka: it is a harsh reality
Michiru: I wonder how many more battles we can take?
Hotaru: I don't think I can take any more
Artemis: {sigh} I know one good thing
Minako: what's that?
Artemis: I believe that Kyuuichirou is on our side
Rei: I think he is too.. the way he saved Mako-chan
Usagi: that is so true
Ami: but, if Kyuu-chan could fight, why didn't he help us?
Haruka: good question
Usagi: it was because he was trying to save Mako-chan
Rei: but, he could have fought the monster.. instead of running away he could have just blown that monster away, if he is powerful
Usagi: but he was trying to save Mako-chan
Luna: please don't start fighting.. Kinoko-chan needs to rest
Usagi: sorry
Rei: I'm sorry
Minako: .....hmm, hey, what do you think teleported us here?
Kinoko: Kyuu.. Kyuuto, Kyuu-chan, he wished.. that we be safe..
Usagi: Kinoko-chan?
Hotaru: are you ok?
Kinoko: um.. kinda
Usagi: you sure do heal fast... I know I don't
Minako: hey Kinoko, you did a good job kicking that monster's butt.. but, how did you do it? I didn't see the whole battle
Usagi: me too
Kinoko: I'm not too sure.. I just, used whatever.. I don't know what I did
Luna: I think you destroyed half the beach.. was that bright blast yours?
Kinoko: I think... I don't know.. I didn't see anything bright
Kinoko begins to sit up.
Luna: Kinoko, please rest
Usagi: she's a fast healer.. the benefit of being the strongest senshi
Kinoko: I'm not the strongest..
Usagi: hey.. after what that monster pulled out, you still kicked his butt, just think if you weren't weak... we might not have a beach at all
Kinoko: I wouldn't want that
Usagi: hey Luna, we should start training Kinoko-chan.. then we can start to kick more monster butt
Rei: don't expect Kinoko to bail you out all the time Usagi
Usagi: what? I would help her
Kinoko: guys, don't fight...
Minako: you know what?
Ami: what?
Minako: where is Mako-chan and Kyuu-chan?
{knock}{knock}
Kinoko: I can get it
Kinoko walks up to the door and opens it.
Kinoko: hi Mako-chan
Makoto: oh Kinoko-chan.. are you ok?
Kinoko: I'm fine
Makoto walks in.
Makoto: guys.. I'm so sorry, I wish I were there to help you fight
Usagi: uh no... you should be thankful that you weren't there
Makoto: are you all ok?
Minako: we're all fine.. pretty much
Haruka: where is Kyuuichirou?
Makoto: at his apartment
Usagi: what were you two up to?
Makoto: well, we just tried to find a way home.. by the way how did you guys get here?
Kinoko: teleported
Makoto: huh?
Kinoko: I don't know exactly how.. but Kyuu-chan wished for us to be in a safe place
Makoto: that's right.. did you hear him?
Kinoko: yeah..
Makoto: did you teleport everyone Kinoko?
Kinoko: no.. I just thought of this place and boom, we're here
Makoto: interesting
Haruka: well, we better head home
Michiru: yeah.. it's already night
Kinoko: time flies when you're almost dead
Setsuna: we'll see you soon
Hotaru: good-bye, bye Kinoko-chan
Kinoko: bye Hotaru
They all leave.
Minako: {sigh} maybe we should head home too Artemis
Artemis: whoa, you mean you wanna go home? you don't want to stay up?
Minako: how sarcastic of you Artemis
Artemis: sorry
Luna: you should get some rest too Usagi
Rei: yep.. and Usagi, lets never take a small break again
Usagi: (sarcastically) hey.. think of what would happen if we took a vacation
Luna: (sarcastically as well) maybe the entire world would be in ruin
Kinoko: (sarcastically) how positive we are.. and hey.. while we're at it, I'll blow up the entire Pacific Ocean, then we won't have a beach for a while
Every starts to laugh and laugh. Then, there is a knock at the door.
Kinoko: (sarcastically) hey, maybe it's one of those guys who give out free airline tickets, then we can take a vacation
Kinoko opens the door. There is a man. He has short blonde hair, blue eyes and wears black glasses. He wears blue jeans and a blue shirt.
The Man: hi Kinoko....
Kinoko: ....it, it can't be
Minako: who's that?
Kinoko: Koichi!! I can't believe it! [hey, in a way, I was right]
Kinoko begins to hug him with excitement. Koichi looks at everyone with saddened eyes.
Makoto: [is something wrong?]
Usagi: who is he? a boyfriend?
Kinoko: no no
She quits hugging him.
Kinoko: this is Koichi.. my best friend, and my dad's best friend too.. hey, has dad called you?
Koichi: well.. uh
Makoto: [why is he sad?]
Kinoko: where have you been? what are you up to?
Koichi: um.. Kinoko, follow me
Koichi grabs Kinoko's hand tightly and walks toward the couch.
Kinoko: ow.. what's up?
Koichi: (sternly) please sit down
Kinoko: ok.. (sits down)
Koichi starts to pace around a bit.
Kinoko: what are you doing?
Koichi: I don't know how to say this...
Koichi turns away from Kinoko and looks at everyone else again. His eyes begin to moisten.
Koichi: [I don't want to do this.. but I'm the only one who can tell her..]
He takes a deep breath and rubs his eyes as if he had something stuck in them.
Usagi: [is he crying? but why? did someone d.. oh, no..]
Kinoko: Koichi? are you ok? are you tired? I can make some coffee for you
Koichi: no, just sit.. (turns around) it's.. about your dad..
Kinoko: [he seems sad.. did something happen to daddy??! no, wait.. maybe he's here! maybe Koichi is just acting.. I get it] hmm.. I get it..
Makoto: huh?
Kinoko: (begins to smile) don't hide it.. I know dad's here.. he's just trying to surprise me, right? dad! you can come out! you can't trick me!
Kinoko gets up and rushes toward the door.
Koichi: {sigh} oh, god I can't tell her..
Makoto: (whispering to Koichi) what's wrong? tell me
Kinoko: uh.. dad? you there? no wait! he snuck in right?
Kinoko then rushes to her room, with much glee, but Koichi grabs her by the shoulder.
Koichi: Kinoko! no.. he's not here
Kinoko: are you crying Koichi?
Koichi hugs her tightly.
Koichi: he.. he's dead
{crack}{crack}{break}
Kinoko: wha..? what?
Makoto: no..
Rei: oh Kinoko...
Luna: [oh dear.. poor Kinoko]
Kinoko: what? what? no.. no.. that's not right
Koichi: Kinoko.. I'm so sorry.. I..
Kinoko: no..
Kinoko's voice begins to sadden and break down.
Kinoko: daddy.. he's fine..
Makoto walks up to Kinoko.
Makoto: Kinoko..
Kinoko: no Mako-chan!! he's fine!
Ami: Kinoko..
Minako: please Kinoko...
Kinoko: no! I'm.. he's..... he's...
Kinoko runs off to the door, tears falling out of her eyes. She slams the door open and runs outside.
Koichi: Kinoko...
Rei: you picked a bad time you know!
Koichi: I'm sorry..
Rei: you can't just come in here and announce something like that!!
Koichi: I thought that she would know by now..
Usagi: wait.. calm down.. first, we gotta find Kinoko
Makoto: that's right, lets go find her
Everyone quickly exits Kinoko's apartment, Luna and Artemis follow them. In the hallway stands Kyuuichirou. No one notices him at all.
Kyuuichirou: Kinoko... she lost her father, and she really loved him.. that must be because her father loved her..
Kyuuichirou stares into the star filled sky. He begins to walk.
Kyuuichirou: my father never loved me.. he didn't even care for me, but my dear mother, she is the reason why I still live.. and thanks to that fighting tournament, my dad would never hurt me again.. I just wish that my mother was still alive.. but she died when I was young.. I had to live on my own ever since I was 5.. now Kinoko has no parents to take care of her, she doesn't deserve to suffer with such a loss.. but she does have her friends, to be there, to support her
Kyuuichirou then follows after everyone.

In the park, Kinoko sits on a bench, under a lamppost. She looks straight to the ground.
Kinoko: this day is a nightmare.. I wish it were, so I can wake up, but it isn't a dream.. how can I even go on now? the reason why I decided to become the Silver Senshi was just because I wanted to protect my dad.. I didn't really want nothing more..
Kinoko lays down on the bench, putting her hands against her head. She closes her eyes.
Kinoko: what do I do now? I have nothing
Koichi: what about your friends?
Kinoko: Koichi?
Makoto: he's right, we're here for you
Kinoko sits up.
Kinoko: how'd you know where I was?
Ami: luck, I guess.. we didn't know where you would be
Kinoko: I'm so sorry for running out like that
Minako: it's ok
Kinoko: Mako-chan..
Makoto: yes?
Kinoko: I'm sorry for screaming at you.. I was just mad.. angry, confused.. and I still am
Makoto walks up to Kinoko and sits next to her. Makoto begins to hug Kinoko.
Makoto: I'm sorry that you lost your dad
Kinoko: Mako-chan.. I.. I just don't know what to do now
Koichi: are they good friends?
Usagi: yeah, Mako-chan lives next door to Kinoko-chan
Koichi: that's good to know.. she had someone taking care of her while her dad was gone
Kinoko: Koichi..
Koichi: yes?
Kinoko: how did.. how did it happen?
Koichi: oh.. um, his plane.. it crashed
Usagi: his plane? it crashed?
Makoto: ...I'm.. I'm sorry Kinoko-chan
Kinoko: {sniff} it's ok.. I think I can handle it
Makoto: just let it all out, cry as much as you want...
Kinoko begins to cry on Makoto's shoulder. Everyone is silent. In the shadows of the trees stands Kyuuichirou.
Kyuuichirou: I don't think I should disturb them..
******
Myk: Kameko? where are we going?
Kameko: we're going to Nevada
They are still in their hotel room, packing up.
Myk: what for?
Kameko: well.. in the future, there is a weapons factory in that area.. that factory created some powerful weapons
Myk: like those tanks?
Kameko: yeah
Myk: so?
Kameko: I think that the factory might exist today
Myk: what? how would you know?
Kameko: didn't you see what those tanks had printed on the side?
Myk: uh.. a.. m.. o? amo? wait I get it.. ammo, as in "those tanks contain ammo," or there is "amo" inside.. like computers have int...
Kameko: I don't think so
Myk: ok, then, what is amo?
Kameko: hmm, I don't know.. but the tanks we had in the future had no "amo" signs... they were just plain tanks.. and they weren't even black
Myk: so.. some guy decided to make custom made tanks.. but wait.. the tanks we have in this time have no legs.. just wheels
Kameko: so someone else from the future must be here.. giving out blue prints of future weapons
Myk: [wait a minute.. I just remembered something.. the battle.. right after I won, Beano just sent everyone back to the park.. I told him about me losing my power, then I told him about the second chosen one, and how he was born on the moon.. then that black robot monster came out of nowhere.. he heard everything I said and Beano said that he had to travel back in time in case that robot decides to kill the second chosen one.. so that robot must be serving.. the Master? so the guy who is making the tanks is... the Master..] uh oh..
Kameko: what? what is it?
Myk: the Master.. he created those tanks..
Kameko: so you think he did it?
Myk: yeah... I know who came from the future too
Kameko: who?
Myk: a robot.. a big robot, it had red eyes.. it was black and.. it was big
Kameko: a robot came from the future, eh? ..hey, you think that "amo" could be the Master's name?
Myk: it could be.. if he made those tanks.. that must mean.. Amo, the Master.. he's already going to take over the world!
Kameko: no he's not Myk.. we still have you to save it, besides, I bet he doesn't even have an army
Myk: {sigh} [Amo..]
******
The Master: hm hm hm.. are my weapons done?
Soldier: yes it is sir
The Master: excellent.. how is, uh.. A-51 doing?
Soldier: well, he is still trying to destroy the senshi.. and I believe the second chosen one is alive as well
The Master: (sarcastically) oh dear.. so, where is our dear friend, Mr. Takumi?
Soldier: um.. we lost contact with him
The Master: good, anything else?
The Master leans back on his nice 100% leather chair.
Soldier: um... someone named, uh, My.. k, has destroyed some tanks on the east coast of America
The Master falls back on his chair.
The Master: WHAT!!??
Soldier: (scared) uh.. there weren't many..
The Master: no.. Myk.. he's the chosen one! I thought he was gone!
Soldier: um.. (flips around in his notebook) uh.. this was sometime back.. but, the first chosen one disappeared, we couldn't trace him
The Master: grr.. the great warrior is back, now I can't rest again
Soldier: but sir.. isn't he weaker now?
The Master: yes, yes.. when I sent.. what's his name.. to find and kill the great warrior, it was too easy.. and when Myk won the battle, his highest peak of power didn't even come close to mine.. we can try my new weapon on him, heh heh heh
Soldier: ok sir.. so, are you going to address to the U.S. about what you're going to do?
The Master: yes yes... it will all be over soon
******
At Kinoko's apartment, Kinoko rests in her bed. Everyone else sits in the living room, talking to each other.
Usagi: I'm Usagi
Rei: I'm Rei
Ami: I'm Ami
Minako: Minako
Makoto: and I'm Makoto
Koichi: it's nice to meet you all.. I just wish we didn't have to meet on such a bad circumstance
Makoto: that's all right..
Minako: so, uh, where are you from?
Koichi: well, I am from Tokyo.. and before I came here tonight, I was staying in California for sometime
Ami: what for?
Koichi: well, I do lots of things with computers
Usagi: [hey, is this the guy that helped Kinoko-chan with that box n' wire thing with the TV?]
Rei: so, you're in to computers?
Koichi: yeah.. something like that
Usagi: so uh.. are you and Kinoko good friends?
Koichi: oh yeah, we are, I've known her since she was a baby... her dad and I were neighbors, he's the one who got me interested in computers.. he was a brilliant man, very smart
Makoto: yeah? that must be why Kinoko is so smart.. she got it from her dad
Koichi: um.. actually.. don't tell Kinoko this but.. she was adopted
Rei: what?
Ami: adopted?
Makoto: why can't we tell her?
Koichi: well.. Kinoko's dad told me not to tell her.. I guess he wanted her to think that he was her real dad, and he wanted to think that she was his daughter
Ami: was Kinoko's dad ever married?
Koichi: no, he wasn't, but he loved kids
Makoto: do you think we could try find her real parents?
Koichi: we could try.. but it won't do any good.. you see, Kinoko was found on her dad's doorstep
Minako: so her real parents abandoned her?
Koichi: I'm not sure of everything.. I just know what Kinoko's dad told me
Luna, who has been listening to everything, lays down.
Luna: [so.. Kinoko was adopted, if we could only find her true parents.. maybe we could find out why Kinoko is the Silver Senshi]
