Act XXV
The foreign Roppongi, Kousagi’s one on one

Merrill was in his room talking with Valsurania. “I have been making sure everything has been running smoothly and I have been keeping everyone
in line,” said Merrill. “What of your new band member? How is he doing?” asked Valsurania. “I have spent many hours training him. He is getting
our songs down very well,” said Merrill. “Good, I appreciate your efforts
and await your next progress report,” said Valsurania. “It is always a pleasure to serve someone as excellent as you. I will report back to you soon,” said Merrill. The hologram of Valsurania disappeared.

Callister and Groce Jr. were sitting on a sofa in their apartment as
Nebekker walked in the room. “Where’s Merrill?” asked Nebekker. “Oh, you know him. He’s sucking up to Valsurania again. All he cares about is being
a leader and in charge of people,” said Groce Jr. “He may just get what he wants since he’s such a shameless ass kisser,” said Callister. “I’m so sick
of him acting like that. He only works hard because all he cares about is
his status and bragging to everyone else,” said Nebekker. “I hope he
hurries; we have some more songs to practice with Yuuichirou. He’ll be at the garage in twenty minutes,” said Groce Jr.

The band met with Yuuichirou at their garage where they rehearsed their songs. They practiced for a couple of hours and had a good session. “So, when will I get to see the apartment? I assume I will be living there with you guys since I’m an official band member now,” said Yuuichirou. “Um,
we still have to clean out a room for you and get rid of the last band members’ junk,” said Callister. “Okay guys, lets practice a few more times until we get it right,” said Groce Jr. “That’s it for today. We’ve practiced enough for now,” said Merrill. “No, we are not done. You all need a lot
more practice,” said Groce Jr. “And what about you?” asked Callister. “I’ve already perfected our songs. I’m the smartest and most talented in everything I do,” said Groce Jr. “Just get out of here you arrogant
bastard,” said Nebekker. “You all are impossible!” said Groce Jr., walking
out of the room. “Don’t mind him, he’s always been conceited and stuck
on himself,” said Merrill. “It’s ok. I don’t let that kind of thing bother me. Anyways, I’m gonna go home and crash guys,” said Yuuichirou, leaving
the garage.

Chibiusa had scheduled a sailor senshi meeting at Rei’s Hikawa shrine.
They were talking about what Setsuna, Ami and Tari had discovered about the space pods in the forest. “Where is Tari anyway? Wasn’t she
supposed to be here and tell us more about what they found out?” asked Anna. “Yeah, she said she might be a little late, but that she’ll be here,” said Chibiusa. They continued conversing for a few more minutes when
Tari slid the door open and walked in the room. The sailor senshi stopped talking as their jaws were gaping and staring at Tari.

Tari had walked into the room completely nude. “What are you doing?
Where are your clothes?” asked Kousagi. “Oh, since I know you all now
and am comfortable around you all, I can be myself. I am a naturist and mostly walk around nude. My clothes are in the back room,” said Tari. Tari sat down by them. “So, I’ll tell you more about what they discovered
about the space pods,” said Tari. “It’s gonna take a while to get used to
you being nude during our sailor senshi meetings,” said Lutina. “Just don’t stare too long,” said Anna to Kiusako.

“The strange devices we observed in the forest were burned a little bit on the outside. Probably got a little charred while entering the Earth’s atmosphere from space. There was enough room in each of the devices to carry four beings in them. They’re pretty sure that they are the devices
that the enemy has used to come to Earth,” said Tari. “If they have come from space, why hasn’t anyone noticed any large spacecraft out there
from where these could’ve come from?” asked Kiusako. “It must be very
well hidden or else someone would’ve noticed it out in space before. Ami and Setsuna are convinced it’s the same device Himeko and Kakeru had
seen a few months ago. They are in an observatory right now trying to
find its location,” said Tari. “It’s going to be impossible to defeat the
enemy if they’re all the way out in space,” said Kousagi. “Yeah, that is a major obstacle,” said Chibiusa.

Later the next day after school, Kousagi was walking home with the daughters of the other sailor senshi. They usually passed up Roppongi on their way home from school nearly every day. “Come on guys, lets go see what the foreigners are up to,” said Mina. “I don’t know. My mom says it’s
a real sleazy place. We could get in trouble,” said Ami. “Oh come on, I’m
so curious to see what’s over there,” said Mina. The other girls were
curious too and went over to Roppongi. “Wait for me guys,” said Kousagi, trying to keep up with the rest of them. As they got deeper into Roppongi, they saw many foreigners and many places for adult entertainment.
Kousagi finally caught up with the rest of them. “Wow, this place is so different,” said Mako. “I’m getting scared. Let’s get out of here,” said Kousagi. “Oh, you’re always such a wuss Kousagi,” said Rei. A strange looking woman came up to them wearing a long trench coat. “Would you girls like some special candy?” asked the woman as she opened up her
coat. Her coat was filled with lollipops and other kinds of candy for kids. “Um, what makes it so special from other candy?” asked Mina. “It’s got a special ingredient called p-funk,” said the woman. “What is p-funk?”
asked Ami. “Oh never mind. What are you all doing here if you don’t want some of the good stuff,” said the woman as she left.

“What was that all about?” asked Mako. “Hey, isn’t that our teacher Mrs. Okamoto?” said Kousagi pointing to a woman talking to a man nearby.
“Hey, you’re right. I think it is our teacher. Let’s go see what she’s doing here,” said Mako. “But won’t we get in trouble if she sees us here?” asked Kousagi. “Oh, don’t worry about that,” said Rei as the girls walked
towards their teacher. They approached their teacher. Their teacher was shocked to see them at Roppongi. “What are you girls doing here?” asked Mrs. Okamoto. “We just wanted to take a look around here. What are you doing here?” asked Mina. “I’m here with my husband. His name is Saitou,” said Okamoto as she introduced her husband to them. “Your husband? He looks like your brother or something,” said Rei. “Rei, stop being so rude,” said Mako. “It’s alright girls. He is quite a bit younger than me. Six years
to be exact,” said Okamoto. The girls were shocked. “Where did you two meet? If you don’t mind my asking,” said Ami. “He was a student of mine years ago. When he got old enough, we got married,” said Okamoto. “You married a student?” said the girls in bewilderment. “I didn’t always used
to teach elementary school like I do now. I used to teach junior high,”
said Okamoto.

“You girls should really stay away from here. It’s dangerous with all the gangs around here. I know because I used to be in a gang that used to
hang out around here,” said Saitou. “Yeah, let’s go guys,” said Kousagi. “What are you two doing here?” asked Rei. “I’m one of the local
undercover policemen that work around here,” said Saitou. “I just came to meet my husband as his shift is almost over,” said Okamoto. “It was nice
to meet you,” said the girls to Saitou. “See you girls in class tomorrow,”
said Okamoto. “They are cute kids but they really need to stay away from places like this,” said Saitou as Okamoto agreed.

Merrill was on the phone with one of his creatures. “I’m glad to hear of
your progress. With this plan of mine, Valsurania will have no choice but
to choose me as the band leader,” said Merrill, hanging up the phone.
There was a dark, short and chubby man at Roppongi who had just
finished talking with Merrill as he began roaming the streets nearby.

Kousagi was at her home talking to Luna, Artemis and Diana about her teacher. “Don’t you think it’s weird that she’s six years older than him?” asked Kousagi. “Well, that sometimes happens. Sometimes the guys go
for older women,” said Artemis. “Like you and mom,” said Diana. “Well,
she’s only three months older than me,” said Artemis, as he coughed.
“Are you guys sick?” asked Kousagi. “No, I just think its old age. Twenty years old is old for cats,” said Luna.

The next day as Kousagi and the other daughters of the sailor senshi
were walking home from school, they walked by Roppongi again as that
was one of the places on their walk home. A short and chubby man
walked up to them. “Are any of you girls interested in some goods?”
asked a man as he opened up his coat, revealing many bottles of pills. “What are all of those? If I need any prescription medication, my mom
will buy some from the store,” said Ami. “Well, these are special pills.
They are great pick-me-ups,” said the man. “Okay pal, put your hands
up,” said Saitou, as he was behind the man and holding a gun to his
head. The man raised his hands as Saitou checked his pockets. “Oh, it
says here your name is Manuel Cobarubius,” said Saitou, reading his identification. “I haven’t done anything bad officer,” said Manuel. “Oh you haven’t have you? We’ve had our eye on you for a couple of weeks now
and have finally caught you red handed in selling prescription drugs to
kids. You’re the one who has been involved in selling drugs to kids and hospitals for four times the amount they’re worth. You’re under arrest,”
said Saitou as he put handcuffs on Manuel. Manuel just laughed. “You
don’t know who you’re dealing with,” said Manuel as he broke the hand
cuffs off and as his body turned into a hard, red material. His body was rough and looked like a large, red gem.

Saitou shot at him with his gun and chipped away a little at his body. Cobarubius hit Saitou as he fell on the ground and passed out. The daughters of the sailor senshi had already run off. “No, I can’t be scared.
I must help him,” said Kousagi as she transformed. Sailor Parallel Moon
used her Mochi rabbit love attack and chipped away at Cobarubius’ body. Shards of his body broke off and fell on the ground. Cobarubius was
shocked that his body was being damaged so easily.

“I must get even stronger,” said Cobarubius as he popped a few bottles
of pills into his mouth. Cobarubius became quicker and stronger. He
chased after Sailor Parallel Moon and tried catching her. Sailor Parallel
Moon hid behind a wall nearby. ‘I sure wish the others were here to help,’ thought Sailor Parallel Moon to herself. She hid for a few minutes when Cobarubius found her.

“There you are,” said Cobarubius, jumping towards her to try and catch
her. He fell on the ground and grabbed Sailor Parallel Moon’s leg. “Let go
of me you weird freak,” said Sailor Parallel Moon. Cobarubius’ body began
to crack from the impact of his body landing on the concrete ground. Parts
of his body began to shatter and fall off. “What is happening?” said Cobarubius. Sailor Parallel Moon shook his hand off of her leg and
watched as Cobarubius’ body shattered to pieces. His once strong and
rough gem body quickly turned brittle and shattered. Sailor Parallel Moon was relieved that the fight was over and walked home.

‘Just wait till I tell the other girls that I took on that thing all by myself,’ thought Kousagi to herself proudly. Saitou regained consciousness and
soon remembered what had happened to him prior to getting knocked unconscious. He looked around for Cobarubius everywhere and finally
found some shattered, red gem pieces on the ground with some partially digested pills underneath them. ‘I don’t know what happened, but that’s
one less dangerous person on the streets,’ thought Saitou to himself as
he walked back to Roppongi.
