Rescue Kousagi! Hitoshi Doi's
Plan
Hitoshi Doi
was hanging out with some of his friends at an RC raceway. RC racing was a
hobby of theirs. "What's the matter with you lately? You seem so pensive,
as if you're in another world," asked Megumi.
"Oh, it's just a problem I'm
trying to solve out in my head. Being here helps me think," replied
Hitoshi.
"If there's anything we can do
to help, let us know," said Takashi.
"Thank you. I think I'll take a
break for now. Let's see how badly my RC car beats yours."
"You're on," replied
Megumi and Takashi. They began racing their RC cars against one another.
A couple was walking down some
streets in Roppongi. They were on their way home from
a play they had recently performed in. "I love how the rainbow appears
after a rain drizzle," said Shigure Minazuki.
"Luckily, I don't have to wait
for rain to see my special drizzle rainbow," said Rei
Ujou, putting his arms around her.
They saw six trees appear alongside
the path they were walking down; to the left and right of them. They kept
reappearing and disappearing from sight.
They heard two voices speak to each
other. They looked around, seeing two spirits reciting jisei
to each other. "With the long passage of time, the long battle still
continues," said one of the spirits.
"I have long heard it said that
the one who can withstand the passage of time will win this battle of
Kawasaki," replied the other.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
asked Shigure.
"I am Abe no Sadato."
"I am Minamoto
no Yoshiie."
"If I remember my history, the
battle of Kawasaki ended long ago. What are you doing here?"
"What? It has? Thank you for
telling us. We can move on to the other side now. We've wasted so much time
reciting jisei," said Abe Sadato.
They disappeared.
Two wooden shurikens
flew out from behind some bushes, striking and killing the couple.
A spirit dressed in robes examined
them.
On the news that night, there were
reports of many people dying in the six trees area from wooden shurikens. Anna and Kiusakun were
watching the news. "Looks like there's some more wayward spirits causing
trouble again," said Kiusakun.
They turned off the TV. Anna pulled
the sheets off the bed, unveiling a beautiful silver ring with diamonds in it.
"Does this mean what I think it means?"
"Let's get married in Hawaii
like we've always dreamed of," said Kiusakun.
"Yes, as soon as we rescue Kousagi."
Yamata no Orochi was sitting on top of
the crag, fighting the spirit of an old man with a long beard, wearing a golden
robe with a white bow around the waist. He had a quiver on his back holding
arrows and a sheath around his waist holding a sword. He carried a light weight
stick in his hand.
He pulled the arrows out of his
quiver, throwing them with his hands at Yamata no Orochi since he had no bow. The dragon blew fire at him.
Holding up his light weight stick, he blocked the flames. The stick burned to
ashes.
"You are outmatched, Jimmu," said Yamata no Orochi.
"As the first emperor of Japan,
I will make you flee this realm."
The fierce dragon swung his sharp
tail at Jimmu. Jimmu struck
the tail hard with his sword. Jimmu caught on fire
from a fiery blast from Yamata no Orochi.
Jimmu disappeared, crossing over to the other side. Yamata no Orochi continued
keeping watch atop the crag.
Chibi Usa, Jun
Jun, Ves Ves, Palla Palla
and Cere Cere were at Hitoshi Doi's
house. "We don't have time to waste. We've got to get Kousagi
back," said Chibi Usa.
"That is precisely why I asked
you to come over. I believe I have figured out a way to help you get into the
crag."
"Are you serious? What is your
idea?" asked Ves Ves.
Hitoshi opened a drawer from a desk,
pulling out a ginzuishou. "Where did you get
it?" asked Chibi Usa, concerned.
"Don't worry. I got it from
Naoko Takeuchi. I told her of my plan and she is letting me borrow it. But for
my plan to work, I will need your ginzuishou as
well."
"Naoko's ginzuishou
and my ginzuishou are the only ones left that haven't
been shattered. If something should happen to them," replied Chibi Usa.
"I understand your concern, but
if you ever want to get into that crag and rescue your sister, this is your
best shot."
"I guess if Naoko trusts him,
we should, too," suggested Jun Jun.
"Okay, here it is," said Chibi Usa.
Hitoshi began installing it into a five
foot tall super computer. He put Naoko's into another one. "What are
doing?" asked Palla Palla.
"If my theory is correct, the
barrier around the crag is getting all of its energy from the country's power
supply. The country's been running on back up generators
because of it. If I can take back that power away from the crag, you should be
able to enter it."
"How are you going to do
that?" asked Cere Cere.
"I have written a program that
hacks into the power grid systems of the country. My program will start taking
back the power from the crag; thus removing the barrier around it. I need the
two ginzuishou's to help store the energy we will be
taking back. They will also help my two super servers process all of the
information at quick speeds."
"How long will it take?"
asked Chibi Usa.
"I don't know. But in the
meantime, we can pass the time playing Pokemon
baseball. Anyone want to learn how to play? I made this game up myself."
He pulled out some cards.
Mamoru and Usagi
were taking cover. Their palace was being attacked by the crag. Hadding was using the power of the crag to send large
energy blasts to attack them. Things were crumbling and falling apart.
"Where are the sailor senshi when you need them?" asked Usagi.
"They were investigating
something in the Roppongi area," replied Mamoru.
The palace continued shaking
violently.
Sailor Earth, Star, Virago, Kurozuki and Tsukineko arrived at
the six trees area to investigate. They didn't see anything out of the
ordinary.
Six trees appeared in the pathway,
surrounding them. The six trees turned into the spirits of six feudal lords.
They were each wearing metallic
armor and metallic helmets. Their hats had two large, sharp, wooden horns on
top.
"Who are you?" asked
Sailor Tsukineko.
"We are the six feudal lords of
this area. We will kill all who trespass against this area."
"You won't be doing any more
killing," said Sailor Earth.
Five of the feudal lords pulled out
the wooden horns from their helmets, turning into weapons. They each had
different weapons: a large wooden boomerang, a large wooden spear, a pair of
wooden shurikens, a long wooden javelin and a large
wooden stake.
The sixth preferred to leave the
large wooden horns on his helmet.
The large wooden stake was placed on
the ground, multiplying across the ground, creating a large bed of wooden
spikes. Sailor Tsukineko was dodging the thrusting
spear while trying to grab it at the same time.
The sixth feudal lord ran towards
Sailor Earth, with his horns facing forward. Sailor Earth ducked at the last
moment and tripped the feudal lord. The sixth feudal lord stumbled, falling
towards Sailor Tsukineko. He fell into the thrusting
spear, stabbing him in the chest.
Sailor Tsukineko
blasted the feudal lord with the spear onto the bed of wooden spikes.
Many javelins fell from the sky like
rain. Sailor Star made stars fall from the sky, destroying the javelins.
A large wooden boomerang was thrown
at them. Sailor Kurozuki destroyed the boomerang.
Two wooden shurikens
were thrown at them. Sailor Virago caught the wooden shurikens
in her hands. They grew leaves on them.
"You have power over
plants?" said a feudal lord, in disbelief.
Sailor Virago used her Storm Eye
attack. The remaining feudal lords were caught up in a powerful twister and
destroyed by the eye of the storm's powerful laser beam.
"I am most impressed. You have
defeated the annoying six feudal lords who have been plaguing this area
recently," said a voice.
"Who's there?"
The spirit of an old Buddhist monk
appeared, sitting in a large Ginko tree. The tree
walked towards them, carrying the monk with it.
"I am Shinran.
There is no need to worry, I will not harm you."
"You have command over that
tree you're riding. How do you do it?" asked Sailor Virago.
"I have a strong connection
with plants as do you. Now the plants and ancient trees of Japan can rest and
continue to beautify the Earth. I will give them the power of Zenpukuji." He disappeared.
The camphor trees, Hiroshima tree
and other trees regained their energy with Shinran's
help.
Sailor Chibimoon
and the Sailor Quartet were still playing Pokemon
Baseball with Hitoshi. "We've been here for three hours," stated Ves Ves.
"It shouldn't be much longer.
You should start making plans on what you'll do after you enter," suggested
Hitoshi.
"Good idea. Thanks for your
help," said Sailor Chibimoon.
The sailor senshi
were helping clean up debris at the Crystal Tokyo Palace. "Thanks for your
help, everyone," said Mamoru.
"Those who did this will be
dead soon," promised Sailor Kurozuki.
"That barrier is too
strong," said Sailor Tsukineko.
"Actually, we should be able to
get through it soon," said Sailor Chibimoon,
entering the palace with the Sailor Quartet.
"Really? How?"
"We'll explain on the
way," said Sailor Celis. They headed for the
crag.
"Be careful, everyone. Return
safely," said Usagi.
"I don't believe this! The
barrier is still up! Does Hitoshi know what he's doing?" complained Sailor
Juno.
Yamata no Orochi flew down from atop the
crag, landing in front of them. "You have finally come to meet your
death."
The sailor senshi
backed off and prepared for battle.
