Act LVI
The Adequate Chibi Project

The Sailor Quartet was around the computer, laughing at something. "What's so funny?" asked Chibi Usa, walking up to them.

"We found this website with some really dumb rumors on it," answered Ves Ves.

"This one here says Luna was your mother," said Palla Palla.

"What? Are these people just misinformed or stupid?" asked Chibi Usa.

"I don't know, but it seems like this "Guy Rickles" likes to make stuff up. He must be really bored," replied Ves Ves.

"Let's go to the college now. We can look at more stupid rumors later," said Drana.

"There used to be a lot of confusion about a lot of things regarding Sailor Moon back in the day. But we know better now," said Emma, tagging along.

"Remember, if anything happens, just run to a safe place," said Jun Jun.

"I will," replied Emma.

They entered the college building. They asked some of the employees there where college students typically had clubs on campus. Nothing turned up at the places they checked.

"Next on the list is a place where the physics club used to meet. Let's check it out," said Chibi Usa.

They arrived on the fourth floor of the science building. There were a few classrooms and a hidden door in a corner on the west side.

On the hidden door was a sign reading, "Stony Brook Physics Club". The room was dark and only lit by the LED's of the computers running in the room. It was a room where some transfer students from New York went to.

Drana turned on the lights. They saw a dozen people tied up in chairs and gagged. "What the hell?" said Diana.

Lutina walked over, taking the rag out of one of their mouths. "Thank God you're here. He said you would come," said a girl.

"Who are you?" asked Drana.

"I am Karla. We used to work for him, but he left us here for dead. We were merely sock puppets to him. Please, get us out of here."

Some of the other people who were tied up and gagged were Ninfea, James, Ceres, Atome, Shara, Morrigu and Koyokujin, to name a few. "Who did you work for? The ambassador?" asked Kiusakun.

"Yes. He's not really an ambassador, though," explained Karla.

While they were helping them get free from their constraints, everyone heard a beeping sound. "What is that sound?" asked Lutina.

"I don't know. It's coming from somewhere in this room," said Kousagi.

"Get out of here now. It's a trap," said Jun Jun.

"But what about saving these people?" asked Cere Cere.

"We don't have time for that. They'll just have to meet their fate," replied Jun Jun.

They quickly ran out of the room, leaving the sock puppets behind. "Please, don't leave us here," begged Karla, scared out of her mind.

The sailor senshi closed the door, running down the hallway as fast as they could. Fifteen seconds later, there was an explosion, killing everyone in the room and destroying the equipment there.

"It's too bad we couldn't save at least one of them. They could've given us more information on the ambassador," said Chibi Usa.

"That's the price they paid for working with evil," said Tari.

"It was a trap all along. He knew we would come here looking for him," realized Drana.

"Damn, where is this guy?" said Anna.

"I don't know. It looks like we've got to do more research," said Emma.

They went back to the moonie headquarters. Chibi Usa was checking her emails and noticed a message from her father. The email read as follows, "How are things going over there for you guys? I hope all is going well. I've heard America can be a dangerous place, so I've recruited some help for you over there. Please write back soon, your mother and I get worried. Love, Dad." Kousagi also read the message.

"I wonder what he means by that?" asked Kousagi.

They continued doing research on where the false ambassador Uranus might be. "Now it makes sense that we couldn't find him online at any of the embassies. He isn't really an ambassador; just posing as one," said Lutina.

"It seems he's always a step ahead of us," said Ves Ves.

"It's getting late; we're going to crash for the night." Kiusakun and Anna left.

The others soon followed, except Chibi Usa. She stayed up late until she fell asleep at the keyboard.

"Wake up! It's 10:00 A.M.," said Emma, nudging her awake.

"I can't believe you were here all night. You need to stop working yourself so hard," said Emma.

"Yeah, she's right. We'll take over the researching for a couple of days. You need to take it easy," agreed Kiusakun.

"Yeah, maybe you're right," agreed Chibi Usa. Chibi Usa, Kousagi, Drana and the Sailor Quartet left to look around the city.

"Isn't this much better than sitting in front of the stupid computer all day?" asked Palla Palla.

"It sure is relaxing," agreed Chibi Usa.

They saw a small group of people wandering around, as if they were looking for something. "Do you guys need help finding something?" asked Ves Ves.

"I think we're getting close," said a boy, holding a GPS unit.

"What are you doing?" asked Palla Palla.

"We are geo-caching for an object," answered a girl in the group.

"What is geo-caching?" asked Kousagi.

"You've never heard of it before? Well, it's like a treasure hunting game," explained a girl.

"Sounds fun," said Cere Cere.

"Would you like to join us?" asked a boy.

"Sure! That is, if everyone wants to," said Jun Jun, looking at the others.

"Why not? Let's have some fun," agreed Chibi Usa.

"I think we're getting very close now," said the boy.

They found a box, hidden behind some bushes. Inside was a small, plastic Chibimoon figure. It was damaged. "What the hell? Is that me? What happened to it?" asked Chibi Usa.

"Different experiments have been done on it," answered a girl.

"The people who started this geo-caching game are in town right now. You should come with us and see what they do. They're pretty funny," said a boy.

They decided to go. "This is so weird. I didn't know they made small dolls of you," said Kousagi.

"I wonder if anyone has made any dolls resembling us?" asked Jun Jun.

They went into a building where there were booths set up representing different organizations. They walked up to a booth named "The Chibi Project."

"Welcome, everyone. Our organization specializes in testing the durability of different action figures. We first began implementing various experiments on a small Chibimoon figure. You can read about all of our past experiments on our web site," said a person in the booth.

They read about the experiments on the small Chibimoon figure on a laptop there. Being run over by a train, set on fire, sawed in half and being blasted off by a rocket were just a few of the tests they had performed in the past.

"I don't believe this. This is awful," said Chibi Usa.

Kousagi and the Sailor Quartet couldn't stop laughing. "I'm sorry, but it's just so funny," said Kousagi. Chibi Usa glared at them.

The toy was barely recognizable being charred and cut in half. "That Chibimoon figure is pure evil. She's almost indestructible," said a scientist at the booth, laughing.

"How mean! She's not evil!" yelled Chibi Usa.

"It's all in fun," said the scientist, trying to calm her down.

"I want to file a complaint," said Chibi Usa, angrily.

"You aren't serious, are you?" asked the scientist.

The small Chibimoon figure started shaking. The two separate pieces fused together and enlarged to twenty times its original size. Everyone ran to safety. It headed towards the sailor senshi. They ran out the building with the large Chibimoon figure following them. "What the hell just happened?" asked Jun Jun.

"I don't know. Is the so-called "ambassador" playing another game with us?" thought Ves Ves.

"I think you're right," agreed Drana.

They hid behind a dumpster in an alley, but it still managed to find them. They weren't able to hurt it much with their attacks. "Those scientists at the booth were right, this thing is virtually indestructible," realized Sailor Menard.

"Evil Bitter Dark Attack!" said the Chibimoon figure. Many black hearts with horns struck them hard. "Ouch, that hurt like a mother..," said Sailor Juno.

A blue rose flew through the air, striking the Chibimoon figure in the head. "As the essence of an ice rose permeates the winter day, I, Chibi Kamen, cannot forgive you for harming these young ladies," said an adolescent boy, dressed up in a blue tuxedo, blue hat and mask. The sailor senshi were speechless.

The Chibimoon figure pulled the rose out of its head.

"I will destroy you myself in honor of the sailor senshi," said Chibi Kamen, pulling out a cane. He pressed a button on the cane, causing spikes to protrude from it.

He swung his cane at it. The spikes stuck into it. His cane got stuck. The Chibimoon figure smacked him with her PVC fists, knocking him down.

"Let's think back about this. Out of all the experiments that were done on this thing, the most effective were explosives and cutting it with sharp blades," remembered Sailor Chibimoon.

"You're right. I can take care of the explosives," said Sailor Juno, using her Bomb Action attack.

Sailor Menard clasped her hands together. A white light shined from them. She raised her hands in the air. The white light shot up high into the sky. She moved her hands downward towards the Chibimoon figure. The long line of white light descended, slicing through it. The Chibimoon figure reverted back into its original size. It was like it was before, blown up and cut in two.

"Are you okay?" asked Sailor Chibimoon, walking up to Chibi Kamen.

"I am quite alright, maladies. Glad to be of service."

"Who are you? How did you know about us?" asked Sailor Chibimoon.

"I was recruited by your father to help protect you while you were over here in the states."

Sailor Chibimoon took off his mask.

"What are you doing? You aren't supposed to know my secret identity yet!"

"Enough with the secrecy; who are you?" asked Sailor Chibimoon.

"My real name is Lemay. I am the American defender of the sailor senshi."

"Listen, we really don't need someone risking their life for us. I appreciate what you and my dad are trying to do, but the less people that get involved in this mess, the better," said Sailor Chibimoon.

"But, my skills with the rose and cane are unsurpassed."

"Please, just go. I can't risk having a foreigner being hurt or killed for us. I'll tell my father about this. It was nice meeting you.

Lemay left.

They returned to The Chibi Project booth and handed them the small Chibimoon figure. "Get that thing away from us. We always knew it was pure evil," said the scientists, cowering in the corner.

"You don't want this anymore?" asked Chibi Usa.

"No, just get it away from us."

The girls walked off, throwing the small Chibimoon figure in a trashcan.

"Are you still mad about what they did to your likeness?" asked Drana.

"Nah, I'm ok. I think they're pretty freaked about the whole thing anyway. Got what they deserved."
