Comments: Believe it or not, this was the first episode of Adventures of Sonic that the writer has ever watched (first one to remember, not sure if it was the first but one the first). Oddily despite the likelyness of the episode, I have struggled a lot due to characterisation mainly (no races or characters that fit into sneaky crafty casino owner type of bill). Now for... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Adventures of Usagi Tsukino (AoUTK) - Episode 104 (105) High Stakes Usagi - Casino Night Serena (American name) - Usagi Should Be So Lucky Outside on a street corner in Tokyo, a man wearing a striped green suit wearing a Carmen Sandiego style hat was standing with a mid 20s man who was wearing a red shirt and some black trousers that the person resembled Alex Kidd. The man begged, "Please, double or nothing." "Okay, if you lose this time you will own me ten maybe fifteen years of hard labour", grunted the green suit stranger in an American accent. As the red shirt man was stretching and the green suit person was blinking, out of nowhere the Alex Kidd in Miracle World Janken theme was playing in the background. After ten seconds, the Alex Kidd lookalike chose scissors while the suited stranger chose rock. The green suited person yelled, "I beat you and now you will be a slave, Taxi!" A yellow taxi suddenly came towards the red shirted man and a hand grabbed him inside towards the interior of the car. "To the airport and make it snappy", grunted Jeffrey Hunter. As soon as the taxi left towards the airport, the green suited man laughed and was waiting for his next victim. Meanwhile on a park bench, the blonde haired heroine and her blue haired pal were licking on their own ice cream cones when suddenly a plane took off above them and past them above in the sky. Ami counted and asked, "That's the one... second... third plane I've seen, what's going on?" The blonde haired girl started to think but she struggled so she flipped her hands thinking of an answer which is hard if a 300 IQ person asks a question which then another plane took off. "Gee, I don't know keed but it looks like it's coming from the airport", guessed Usagi. Very quickily the two Sailor Senshis have started to walk towards the direction away from Azabu which is where they live. Outside Tokyo International Airport, Jeffrey was waiting around looking for victims to do hard labour. The green suited man whispered, "Soon I would have another load of suckers in a few ticks". However at the other side of the entrance, the blonde haired heroine and her pal were spying on the green suited stranger. "I don't like the sound of this Ami, come on," spoke Usagi. A quick scene change reveals that Jeffrey Hunter has hired a shuffler who wore a top hat and had a long moustache which he had on a black suit to wear, opposite the stand were some tourists from North America has they wore caps and t-shirts of various colours as there were around 15 of them. Jeffrey muttered, "Here's what I'm going to do, since you've already lost everything you own..." He breathed out and continued, "I'm going to let you raise the stakes a bit, win and you get everything back." In front of the North American tourists was a black long haired teenager wearing a grey shirt and black trousers who was holding his hand up while looking nervous. "We get everything back even my Sailor Moon collectables but what if we lose?", asked the American teenager. Jeffrey replied, "You would work for my pal that's all." The green suited man then walked towards the stand where the shuffler was looking devious and was rubbing his hands. "For the rest of their lives that is", whispered the green suited stranger towards the shuffler. Very quickly the dealer bent his head down and started to shuffle some nuts which inside was a green pea which Jeff was supervising just in case of mistakes. The shuffler spoke, "Follow the pea win a spree, lose the pea and you owe me." Out of nowhere, Usagi and Ami pushed right in front of the American tourists from behind which the blue haired heroine looked angry. "That's not fair, these poor people would be cheated", angrily shouted Sailor Mercury. Suddenly the shuffler had stopped shuffling the phoney nuts, which at that point the blue haired heroine whispered to her pal where the pea is located that then she nodded. The green suited American pointed, "Is the hand quicker than the eye?" Very quickily Usagi picked up the left nut which revealed the pea which had caused both Jeffrey Hunter and the shuffler to be shocked that somebody has picked up the right spot. Like it was a life saving event, the North American tourists are cheering and started to run off as they won their freedom. The grey shirt teenager spoke in excitement, "Oh boy, I can have my stuff back." As soon as all the tourists left the terminal of the airport and waited in the departure lounge, Usagi clicked her fingers which very strangely her pal Ami had disappeared and the blonde haired heroine started to tap her foot while her arms are crossed. "How about making it a challenge, huh?", mocked the blonde haired schoolgirl. The shuffler had started moving the pea very quickly which then the blonde haired Sailor Senshi's large eyes were following the pea. Out of nowhere, the blue haired girl came back whispering her pal the correct answer which then the dealer stopped shuffling. Usagi picked up the left nut again which revealed the pea that caused the shuffler to be shocked again and started to panic. As the shuffler bent his head down to make it challenging towards the two schoolgirls, Jeffrey Hunter was running towards the terminal looking for his victims panicking that he might lose his labour workers. Yet again the blonde haired heroine's eyes were following the pea which the shuffler pulled a lever on the stand which the pea dropped out of the middle hole. Ami whispered, "I heard a dropping sound, Usagi." The blonde haired heroine started to think what caused the dropping sound so she did a cheesy grin and picked up both the left and the right nut which the middle nut without the pea was left behind. "So the pea must be in the middle nut, you dodgy dealer", smoothly spoke Usagi. The dealer then started to cry and ran out towards the exit of Tokyo International Airport which the blonde haired heroine was tapping her foot while looking very fruity which her blue haired pal came out looking very strangely behind Sailor Senshi. As soon as the shuffler was out of sight, the North American tourists were cheering for the blonde haired heroine for saving their lives came back from the terminal which they discovered that their flight has been delayed. Sailor Mercury was smiling to her pal while looking very cute as she helped the blonde haired heroine for the crooked deal. "Here's your stuff back and from now on, don' t risk what you can't afford to lose", suggested Sailor Moon while looking very happy. However behind the wall near towards the restricted area, the green suited crook looked very disappointed with his head looking down that his hired shuffler fled so he got out his celluar mobile phone and started dialling a number. The green suited stranger grunted, "This is Jeffrey Hunter, get me Queen Beryl." Meanwhile in Egypt, a group of men and women who were shirtless but kept their undergarments were building a pyramid which Nephrite was closely supervising looking angry. Just a few kilometres away, the blonde haired henchman who was called Jadeite was fanning down the long red haired dictator who was dressed up like Cleopatra with an expensive white gown laying on a lounger. "Work you lowlives, you owe me big time", yelled Queen Beryl. The grey haired henchman came running towards the meanful dictator holding a phone but he stopped to breathe in and out which he got hold of a bottle of water and drank it. Kunzite bellowed, "Call for Queen Beryl, sounds American." The long fingernailed, black tiara wearing queen was thinking on her lounger and picked up the phone waiting for good news. "Jeffrey, where is my next plane load for workers?", asked Beryl. The green suited villian replied, "One more bet and I would have them, they won thanks to Sa..." The dictator yelled, "You know how to cheat so do it without failing me!" Jeffrey Hunter moved towards the car park of the airport since the last message was full of noise from nearby aircraft. "Okay but we need better facilities and tactics", suggested the freelance crook. As soon as the sentence had finished, Kunzite got hold of a bowl full of green grapes and passed it towards the villain. Beryl replied while munching on a grape, "Then you will get better facilities and tactics, bye." The leader of the Dark Kingdom put down her phone and got up from her lounger looking very angry while the grey haired henchman started looking anxious by the quickness of the dictator getting up however the queen calmed down after eating another grape. "This is my plan, you and Nephrite will go to Las Vegas in America and encourage more workers for my pyramid", suggested Queen Beryl. Suddenly without any warning the evil red headed ruler of the Dark Kingdom pointed at Kunzite and grunted towards her henchman who was scratching his head. The henchman asked, "Why do you want a pyramid of your beautiness in Egypt?" "Well... Just so people think that I am not always in a dust lair and you go, Nutzite", yelled Queen Beryl. The grey haired henchman started to run as fast as he could and got hold of Nephrite which they are heading towards the casino city. Meanwhile back at the airport entrance, the grey shirted teenager and the other North American tourists were rubbing their eyes in disbelief that a fictional heroine had saved their lives. The grey shirted teenager asked, "Thanks for saving us but I have a question, are you Sailor Moon?" The blonde haired heroine had blushed that an American knows her name while trying to raise a smile towards the tourists of various shapes and sizes. "Yes, I am Sailor Moon", replied the blonde haired heroine. Suddenly everyone was shaking her hand with excitement after meeting a superheroine on their trip in Japan. The grey haired teenager got hold of a photo of Usagi ready to sign. The teenager stuttered out, "Can I have your autograph please since I'm a big fan of you?" Very quickly the blonde haired heroine signed the photo with her famous saying on it in English which she struggled writing the strange language towards the American tourists. As soon as the autograph was finished, Jeffrey Hunter came out of the terminal looking very happy and got hold of a megaphone. "Everyone gets a free flight to Las Vegas with one free bet, no questions asked and no hidden catches", laughed the green suited American. Suddenly the American tourists ran towards the check in desks, ready to gamble for free to Las Vegas, the casino city. However outside, Usagi and Ami were standing thinking that this maybe a trap. Sailor Mercury asked, "I think this is a trap Usagi, nobody gives free flights do they?" "Not really but we gotta check it out, scout", replied the blonde haired heroine while trying to impersonate Sonic the Hedgehog very poorly. So the two schoolgirls then followed the tourists towards the check-in desks with a determination look on them. In Las Vegas which is now late evening with the Strand being lit up and fake names of casinos to avoid copyright laws for the possible audience to see which inside a casino which was named Green Hill Casino, the Super Special Serena Search and Smash Squad were in the security room looking at the gamblers. Out of nowhere, the Casino Night Zone music in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was playing in the background. Kunzite enjoyably spoke, "No doubt about this Nephrite but I think this is our best plan yet." "Great to be back home, our highness would have more labour workers than she will know what to do with", laughed Nephrite. Busting out of nowhere on the security cameras, the locals who were the tourists came rushing in stampeding over the existing players on the slot machines and knocking into the butlers of the casino. Jeffrey then slammed the door open which shook Queen Beryl's henchmen and gave them a clipboard that the grey haired goon signed his name on and the green suited crook then left the security room. Outside the Green Hill Casino, Sailor Moon and her blue haired pal were taking a breath catching up with the tourists which the music changed to some swanky music with Sailor Senshis mentioned in the blonde haired heroine's role playing game. Usagi panicked and spoke, "I hope them tourists that speak a funny language would be all right, I would get upset if they're not." So the blue haired girl opened the casino door which revealed a few tourists on the slot machines pulling on the levers however a very annoying buzz came out which a machine got hold of their shirts and emptied their coat or trouser pockets. "I don't like the look of this", sighed the blonde haired heroine. Back in the security room, the brown haired henchman was looking at the monitors while his partner in crime was looking from the security door entrance for the action which suddnely the music changed back to Casino Night. Nephrite laughed, "One more bet and they will owe all their lives to Queen Beryl." "How are going to do this, Nepwrong?", asked Kunzite. "Every game, the slot machines and even the change machine is set to Queen Beryl's orders by me." "Are we cheating?" The brown haired henchman gave a smirk towards his comrade who was scratching his head and pressed a button. The leader of the SSSerenaSS Squad spoke, "Yes Kunzite, we are cheating and let's try something." So Nephrite pressed the red button which on the roulette table the ball started jumping violently which the tourists were cheering and stopped when the ball landed on double zero. Instead the gamblers were crying and left the roulette table with all their chips which the blonde haired heroine came and looked very shocked. "How did that happen Ami?", asked Usagi. Ami replied, "The ball had lots of friction which then jumped about on the roulette table or in simpler words, cheating." Sailor Mercury then looked at the top of the casino and saw a blinking red light from the top of the Wheel of Fortune game at the corner which Jeffrey started to sneak on, getting prepared for his next trick. "What are you going to do Usagi?", asked the blue haired heroine. The blonde Sailor Senshi replied, "For love and justice, the sailor suit beautiful girl fighter Sailor Moon will insure all people to have freedom, and you must stop the cheating my little buddy." Meanwhile on the Wheel of Fortune game, the green suited man was rubbing his hands when all of the tourists were gathering around the machine looking like that were impressed and made a "ooh" sound. "If the Win comes up on the wheel, it is going to be raining dollars but would it be freedom or bonded, only the wheel knows", bellowed Jeffrey. Very quickly the blonde haired heroine got out her disguise pen and pressed the lid which transformed her into an attractive latino dancer who was wearing a red dress and her hair style was a combination of Minako's length and the hair colour of Rei's. The dancer then approached Nephrite who was holding his chin. The latino dancer smoothly asked, "Do you know a good dance, you young gorgeous man?" The brown haired henchman started to stare at the latino dancer with his heart beating very rapidly and got out his hand which he held it on the disguise heroine's arm. So Nephrite got up and started to dance with his probable future girlfriend who was dancing and holding the hands of each other. Meanwhile behind the machine, Ami got out a small machine which she pressed the button on to stop the cheating of the Wheel of Fortune. Back on the dance floor, the attractive latino dancer was still dancing which the brown haired goon was swinging her in enjoyment thinking that he may quit the henchman job as he found someone better. Nephrite asked, "What is your name so I can call you?" "My name is Honey Tsukino, and I gotta go you brilliant man", replied the diguised heroine. So as Usagi gave a kiss to Nephrite which she left the dance floor and headed back to the Wheel of Fortune, the machine stopped at Win which as promised the casino floor was full of money which the tourists picked up in scoopfulls. The grey shirted tourist screamed, "It's raining money!" Back on the dance floor, the grey haired goon started pulling on the dancing partner in crime. "Sometimes she’s a driver, sometimes she’s a female photographer, and sometimes she’s a latino dancer... but her true identity is Usagi Tsukino", happily spoke Nephrite while saying an another anime character catchphase. Kunzite bellowed out while ignoring the continuity error, "The machine gave out the money while you was dancing with the latino." The henchmen looked at each other and walked towards the latino dancer who was chatting in Japanese, their native language with the blue haired heroine while Kunzite pointed at the latino dancer. "This place is awful, no ice cream cones", leaked out the disguised heroine while accidentally changing her back. The blonde haired heroine pressed on the lid of the disguise pen which changed her to a short black hair man who is wearing a proper tuxedo and a red bow tie like James Bond would wear and came back towards the henchmen. "Moon, Sailor Moon", spoke Usagi in a posh English accent. However Nephrite and Kunzite was not pleased that their enemy is in the casino and grunted at the schoolgirl which they started to catch the girl, however she quickly changed back which for the first time leaves her tuxedo costume while trying to get away from the Super Special Serena Search and Smash Squad. The blonde haired heroine dragged the blue haired girl and headed towards a computer café at the edge of the casino floor. The blonde girl suggested, "Look a computer café, you stay here going on the computer while I give them hectic henchmen the defeat that they deserve." The Sailor Senshis have arrived at the computer room while at the corner was a computer helper however despite five computers the place was nearly empty. "Yeah, at least I would be safe around here", happily replied Ami. As soon as Ami sits down towards a computer and the helper smiles, the blonde haired heroine dashes out of the casino towards the direction of Hoover Dam which the two henchmen followed. A quick scene change later shows that Usagi was inside the Hoover Electric Dam which the grey haired henchman got out his net ready to swoop her but instead caught his brown haired partner instead. Now the blonde haired heroine was near an open engine that had a window ledge and she stood yawning as it was starting to get very late at night and she was up all day. Usagi yawned, "I stay right here so you can catch me". Nephrite and Kunzite quickly walked towards the Japanese anime character but she ducked and the Super Special Serena Search and Smash Squad fell down the electric waterfall. "Sounds like them two are having a cruise", joked the blonde haired heroine. Back in the computer café, Ami was still on the computer enjoying herself knowing for once nothing strange will happen towards the blue haired girl. The computer helper asked, "Having a good time, honey?" However the Sailor Senshi started to look fed up on the computer as she was tired of the travelling that she has done from Tokyo to Las Vegas. "Kind of", shyly spoke Ami. The brown haired computer helper walked towards the intelligent blue haired girl as he thinks that she may need help. The stranger asked, "I forgot to mention that this isn't free you know?" The blue haired heroine scratched her head and sulked knowing that there would be some bad news. "One hundred dollars and fifty cents", bellowed out the computer payer. Ami started to get angry as she doesn't even have one American cent and stands up away from the computer ready to show her water tactics. Ami shouted, "I have only been here for ten minutes, I will take it up with the management." Very sneaky, the computer helper got out a photo of Queen Beryl wearing a blue business suit with the plaque saying Manager and showed it towards the Sailor Senshi. "The manager is Queen Beryl", replied the stranger. This had caused Ami to sit back on her seat looking very glum and is about to cry knowing that it would need a miracle to get out of this problem. The blue haired girl upsetly spoke, "I won't." Suddenly the computer helper pulled a lever from his desk which a trap door came out which was expanding towards the blue haired girl which she started to panic as computers were falling down. "Usagi, help!", yelped Sailor Mercury at her loudest voice. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: It took a while but the first part is done. Accidentally I think I made Usagi into Cutie Honey which is some anime character that did similar things by mistake. Since this was hard, it is going to be even harder for the next part. I still regret doing this story.
