There's an evil new force in the galaxy,
A monstrous planet that consumes everything in its path...
And it's heading for the inner Sol system, where
For thousands of years a war has raged between a unique
Race of transforming magical beings, a battle between good and evil...
The Evil Youma Transformers
Led by the belligerent Queen Beryl have
Pursued the Heroic Senshi Transformers from
Their home on Earth's moon to the far reaches of the
System and back again, But the Sailor Senshi, and their
Leader, the soulful Queen Serenity are not easily defeated....
From secret staging areas
Across the system, and even within
The old dimension of the Youma, the Senshi
Prepare to reclaim their home, but the Youma are not so easily tricked...
<music playing in background, heavy drumbeat, powerful guitar lead>
Transformers!
Something Evil's watching over you,
Coming from the stars above
And there's nothing you can do.
<shot here - does anyone want to play with this and suggest a graphic for the
title sequence??>
Prepare to strike there
There'll be no place to run
As we flail in the grip
Of Wisemans evil hand!
Transformers!
More than meets the eyes
Transformers!
Magic girl disguise
Strong enough to break the bravest heart
So we've have to pull together,
No we can't stay worlds apart
To fight ourselves shall mean we'll surely fall
Until our darkest hour
When love's light shall save us all!
Transformers!
More than meets the eyes
Transformers!
Magic girl disguise
Transformers!
Senshi wage their battle to destroy the evil forces of
The Youma!
<Minna - Henshin Yo!>
It's judgement day and now we've made our stand
And for now the powers of darkness
Have been driven from the land
The battles over but the war has just begun
And this way it will remain
Until the day the evils gone
<original song "Transformers: main theme", Lion>
Deep inside the D-point, Antarctica, 2005 AD
Me'iou Setsuna sat in front of a large fire, crackling and spitting, it cast
light and shadows across the icy room. This was perfectly understandable - it
was COLD at the pole. However, it burned no wood, Setsuna's eyes focused deep
within the heart of the flames, at the glowing shape of the time gate, muscles
around her jaw clenching almost imperceptibly at the things she saw there. Not
that she needed the fire - Setsuna's chronomancy powers were sufficient so that
she could see the present and past in a cup of tea that hadn't yet been poured.
Looking around with a deeply frustrated sigh she bent her will to the burning
artefact ahead of her.
"So... Just what do you see?" Mused Queen Serenity softly from beside her,
peering into the flames with a lightly intrigued expression.
"Youma, labour gangs and terrified people... Your Majesty, when will we stop
hiding and take the war to the enemy - we can never win like this, expending all
our energies on concealment...." Sighing she looked for anything from her
monarch - hope sprang eternal... And Setsuna knew something was going to happen
soon - that much her enhanced senses made clear.
"Setsuna, I'd like you to take a small cargo shuttle -"
"But Your Majesty...!" Protested Setsuna sharply. The monarch raised a hand to
halt the inevitable protest.
"Yes I know they're slow and we could just teleport, but it leaves us
detectable, and uses too much energy...
"Take a cargo shuttle to Crystal Tokyo, and bring in a supply of the mana
crystals Ami is working on..." She spoke to empty air, Setsuna had already left,
a with a quick wink and an evil grin. Not that she'd ever let her guard down
around anyone else, but to her monarch it was disconcerting to see the last
touches of the girl who'd volunteered all those millennia ago to serve her
showing through.
Guilt could wait. There were things to do. Cupping her hands around the small
locket she wore on her bodice she concentrated, forming a picture in her mind,
then using the power of the gem inside to form a link between them.
[Haruka - are there any signs of the enemy in the area?]
{Your majesty...} an excessively formal thought came back {Nahh... Not a
sausage your majesty,} came a calmly amused, highly self-assured reply, (in
fact, it's so quiet I may just have to take up knitting!) teased the mental
voice. Serenity laughed gaily, a more unlikely occupation for the brash warrior
was hard to think of.
[Well, thank you very much... oh, and I'd like some new socks when you do,]
Serenity returned with impish good humour.
(*!*) came the spluttering reply as Serenity terminated the link.
"You may launch when ready," She directed to the shuttle. Watching it lift off
and begin the journey to Crystal Tokyo, she sighed.
"My hopes go with you, at this our most critical time...."
Unnoticed a small cat like creature, no larger than a slipper left, masked by
its own stealth and the shadows of the flickering flame...
Beryl looked up from her scrying ball, as she registered the arrival of the spy
in her throne room. Around the room her generals perked up, fresh information on
the Senshi was always welcomed. If nothing else, it made it hard to fear an
enemy who had their private moments of absolute humiliation displayed as
primetime entertainment.
"Ravage. Unlike some of my other warriors you seldom fail..." declared Queen
Beryl. Jadeite looked up sharply, but had enough wit to remain silent. His star
was not currently on the ascendant. "Playback what you have found for us,"
decided Beryl. The cat nodded and moved to a second crystal ball on the lower
dais, just below Beryl's feet. Placing his head against it the spy Youma played
the vents he had witnessed, the psychic sphere projecting them up and out as a
psychoplasm projection for all to see.
"I'd like you to take a small cargo shuttle..."
"But Your Majesty - !"
"Take a cargo shuttle to Crystal Tokyo..."
"...this most critical time..." whispered the projected Queen Serenity. Beryl
smiled in a most disturbing fashion.
"It will be critical when I'm finished with you... " she gloated. With sharp
insect-like movements she stepped down from her throne, and turned to her
generals. The peanut gallery grasped her meaning easily. With simple thoughts
the four left in bursts of multihued light, preparing their troops.
"Ah, this will be fun," chuckled Beryl, drawing a sword she hadn't used in more
than a thousand years. She glanced at it more sharply, peering at a patch of
rust critically.
<BGM: 'Instruments of Destruction', N.R.G>
Setsuna sat back, and watched as the autopilot calmly made a thousand or so
autonomous decisions every second, decisions that held them in the air and on
course. She turned to talk to her companions, Osaka Naru and Umino Gurio, when
all three of them heard the dull explosion in the rear of the shuttle.
Umino immediately bent to the controls attempting to minimise the effect, even
as Naru stepped up to go and physically check the damage. She never even felt
the second blast that exploded the side wall, filling her with shrapnel. She
fell unaware that she was dead. The other two were less lucky - the third blast
of energy opened a clear passageway in the side of the little shuttle, allowing
Youma to freely pour into the shuttle.
"NO! NARU!" Screamed Umino in horror as his wife was reduced to mince in front
of him. He went berserk as madness claimed him for its own.
"Fried Shrimp Transformation!"
He began to glow darkly, his normal nerdish clothes reforming into a crumpled
suit, his less than athletic build acquiring several ounces of muscle and many
pounds of magic, shrimp appearing in his fingers.
"DIE! Tuxedo Umino Kamen shrieked, hurling the combustible crustaceans at the
first Youma through the gap. The startled Youma ducked, the first barrage
falling harmlessly around them, the second merely wounding a few low level
Youma. Then he paled, the sight in front of him enough to shock him from his
grief and madness.
"Beryl...." he whispered in horror. If the Youma Queen had decided to take a
hand in the fighting then they were all in deep trouble. Setsuna finished the
hasty overrides to the shuttle A.I. - enough to keep them airborne, and was
leaping from her chair, her Henshin Wand already up and moving to activation
point when Beryl ran Tuxedo Umino Kamen through, incinerating him from the
inside out as death majicks poured through the blade. Setsuna's own magic
pulsed, and she wordlessly transformed to Sailor Pluto, no longer needing the
command phrase to trigger transformation.
She had fought a great many battles in her life. Her warrior's eye assessed the
horde of Youma still pouring through the breach. Almost instantly she knew she
was going to die. She also decided that she wasn't going to go alone.
"DEAD SCREAM!"
The pulse of magic tore back out of the hole, winging Jadeite as he forced his
way in, the volume of her normally whispered command adding to the power of the
blast. Already she could see sky along the path of the attack... until countless
more Youma refilled it. She span, aiming at a new set of targets, her staff
coming up to parry a Youma with swords for hands, her free hand clenched to fire
the magic again.
"DEAD - ......" She looked down at the crystal shard embedded in her chest,
sighed ruefully and collapsed bonelesly to the deck.
"You said it Pluto!" Zoisite grinned waving 'bai bai' to the body, then turned
and made 'whoopsie' gestures that set the Youma of in gales of mocking laughter.
From the first breach in the shuttle to the collapse of Pluto had only taken ten
seconds.
"This was almost too easy..." mused Beryl quietly to herself, already at work
re-sharpening her blade. She'd been hitting bone a lot recently.
"Much easier my Queen than the real target - the Senshi's strong hold at the
D-point!" pointed out Jadeite helpfully, hoping for a nugget of praise. Beryl
regarded him disdainfully.
"You idiot. Once we slip through their early warning wards in their own ship
and Crystal Tokyo is destroyed the Senshi will be vanquished forever!" Beryl's
tone dripped with vitriol as she turned away from Jadeite. She didn't see the
look of mortified rage or hatred he couldn't suppress. Or she may have. Either
way, it was clear that as far as she was concerned HE was no threat.
Pluto dragged herself toward the controls. There was still a chance to stop
this, she could over-ride the control board, abort the automatic repairs she had
programmed, crash the shuttle, and maybe kill someone high up. She didn't have a
prayer of killing all of the Youma, but at least they wouldn't get Crystal
Tokyo!
Beryl didn't even look up from sharpening her blade, with a cobra swift flick
she impaled Pluto through the eye. "Pathetic," she sighed as she flicked the
corpse off her sword. She'd dulled the point again. She began to methodically
re-sharpen her weapon.
The Shuttle flew on.
Crystal Tokyo
"OHHH! look at all this ice cream!" Gushed Usagi in stereo with herself. The
smaller Usagi agreed with the sentiment but not the flavour.
"But 'super deluxe double choc fudge mint toffee' [1] is the best, Right
onee?!"
"You said it spore," cackled the elder Usagi in a good natured teasing manner,
her hands already in her purse ready to purchase three. Two for her and one for
her annoying little sister. They left moments later, faces pictures of pure
girlish bliss, their mouths full.
"Ah this is the life, ice cream boys, and the video arcade is down the block -
it doesn't get any better than this!" Declared Usagi snr. with contentment, only
to be met by an amused look from her sister at the mention of boys. Chibi-Usa
could never see the attraction of a boy over a good ice cream. Well... not
unless it was Mamoru. Still just this once she felt she should be diplomatic,
and said nothing. Beside Usagi was paying.
In short order the ice creams vanished down the gullets of the two voracious
eating machines, and they stalked off in search of prey - cute boys or cool
games, or just cute games in Chibi-Usa's case. Chibi-Usa paused, and looked
behind her at her luna-P, which was meowing slightly. "Oh wow!" she enthused,
"There's a shuttle coming in! perhaps it's got Mamoru in!"
Usagi's eyes spaced, as she began a beautiful dream about the day when her
Mamo-chan would finally propose! She came back to reality with a harsh thud,
Chibi-Usa's mocking voice floating back with the clarity that only really
obnoxious younger siblings have mastered. "Hurry baka Odango-Atama or you'll
miss it!"
"Wahh!" screamed Usagi, hitting reality with a jarring thud. "Wait for me!"
<BGM: Dare, Stan Bush>
"Luna-P Henge!" called Chibi-Usa, as luna-P morphed into an umbrella and took
to the sky, dangling the young girl beneath it, in a manner eerily reminiscent
of Mary Poppins. "Sugoi!" she cried in joy watching the play of lights over the
city as the angles changed. She was so enraptured that she failed to notice that
she'd just begun rising into a washing line.
With a twanging of over-stressed elastic, the line stretched to its limits and
snapped back, firing Chibi-Usa back towards the floor with a squawk of utter
disbelief and annoyance. Usagi looked up, paused in her running, and with a
gesture removed her Amulet and hurled it high into the air.
"MOON ETERNAL TRANSFORMATION!"
The magic caught her mid stride, flinging her high into the air, her clothes
already reforming in to the fuku and wings of Eternal Sailor Moon, her
transformation amulet, as ever, miraculously landing in its usual position
nestled comfortably in her cleavage. A real mystery. She'd once thrown the
amulet over her shoulder when transforming and it STILL ended up as the
centrepiece of her costume.
Beating her wings hard she caught up to the descending Chibi-Usa, catching her
out of mid air, and kept flying on up. Below them luna-P reformed to its ball
shape and landed in a mailbox. They'd find it in the post in a week or so.
Chibi-Usa failed to note any of this - she was still caught up in the rescue and
the beauty of the city around her.
"If you're gonna fly, imouto, fly in style," smiled Sailor Moon to her
diminutive passenger. Chibi-Usa just stared in awe at the beauty of the city,
huge spires of crystal that grew from the earth, yet seemed as natural as the
trees that lined every boulevard. They reflected the sun back at the sky, yet
never dazzled the viewer... and the play of colour and light as one flew over
them... Chibi-Usa noted something was wrong."Um, onee, why ain't we going to the park to watch it land?""Relax, You can see everything from lookout tower!" She paused and continued in a conspiratorial whisper "and it's closer to where they all get off!"
"Rei isn't going to like that." "Heheheh...." They flew on in companionable silence.
Hino Rei was a very busy woman. In addition to her job saving the world, she was one of the major trouble-shooters in the construction of enhancements to Crystal Tokyo. So it didn't improve her day when she was buzzed by a airhead with wings doing 50 in a 30 zone. The air drag tore her notes from her hands,
even as a fading "SOOOORRrrrrreeeeee..." receded into the distance.
Makoto discreetly left while her bad tempered friend ranted about the things
she'd do to that brainless meatball head if she ever got her hands on her.
Sailor Moon eventually finished her near breakneck (certainly break washing-line, three lampposts and a small sculpture that had leapt out in front
of her... REALLY!) flight and gently touched down and lowed her over-excited
sister to the floor.Chibi-Usa turned the telescope towards the shuttle, on approach manoeuvres, and tried to see who'd come to visit. That wasn't right though. A hole? Whatever.
"Hey! There's a hole in the shuttle!" she called back gaily, before returning
to her examination of the cockpit. Sailor Moon was less blas�. She 'reached' for
her personal d-pocket, as Ami put it, and drew out her goggles, concentrating on
the shuttle, trying to see what her sister was on about. She gasped aloud in
horror when she saw."YOUMA! ahhhh!" without a thought she pulled her tiara from her forehead, posing for a few seconds necessary to build the magic.
"Moon Tiara Action!" she screamed, hurling the tiara at to the heavens. As it
flew the disc began to accelerate, and glow like a star, the ball of light
smashing into the engine block of the captured transport. It exploded,
disgorging huge numbers of Youma. Moments after that, a return blast destroyed
the lookout point.
Rei paused in her rant to look in bafflement as Usagi apparently started shooting at their own people.
"What in the name of the Kami's is she up to?" She screamed in total confusion,
she'd just been mad, but she wasn't quite ready to switch mental tracks to her
ditzy friend attacking their own. Then the Youma began to jump clear of the
falling hulk."Oh. Well... that explains that." That idiot was going to get herself killed!
Pulling out her Henshin Wand she began running and hoped she wouldn't be too
late."Mars crystal transformation! And if you're dead I'm going to KILL you Usagi!"
Mars paled at the effect her words had. She sprinted forwards and hoped that she
would be in time to help her friend.Around her the first of the devastating blasts from above began exploding over the city.
Mizuno Ami watched in horror as the Youma began devastating the one city on earth that they had thought safe from attack. Scanning with the Mercury Computer she quickly came to a conclusion she didn't like. Spinning she looked for Minako only to see the cheerful blonde stood where she had previously been looking.
"So what's the news then?" asked Minako breathlessly from her run, "what does
your computer have to say?!"Ami swallowed hard, even as Hotaru and Makoto joined them."A cursory evaluation of Youma tactics indicates a severe tactical deficiency on our part... "Seeing the blank looks on her friends faces she translated.
"We're outgunned, outnumbered, and shit outta luck."Minako boggled. Ami NEVER swore! Well... not often anyway. Only when things were ... real... bad. Oh dear.
A Youma spotted the small group and moved in for the kill. The girls grinned at
it, spooking it more than slightly - after all *it* was the one supposed to be
using the intimidation tactics! It bigsweated then, as in front of it the four
targets it had taken for civilians to play with pulled forth Henshin Wands.
"Venus Crystal Transformation!"
"Saturn Crystal Transformation!"
"Mercury Crystal Transformation "
"Jupiter Crystal Transformation!"
The Youma fled as the four young girls shifted to battle mode, a combination of
grace, beauty and deadly killing efficiency.
"Saturn, Jupiter, get the shields over the palace, Mercury, signal for
reinforcements, once you've done that team up in two's an good hunting ladies!"
Decided Venus swiftly , before sprinting off to spread the alarm. Jupiter
boggled slightly at the difference between her goofy friend and her stern,
serious, commander... Then ran for the palace, Saturn close to her shoulder,
surrounded by terrified civilians fleeing for the shelters of the palace.
Shelters that wouldn't survive a car crash, much less this invasion unless they
activated the shields. Jupiter ran faster.
Mercury was worried. Normally, to communicate with the other senshi, it was a simple matter of pulling out the communicator and stating the name of the person to be talked to. However there were such levels of dark energy floating through
the ether that she couldn't even raise Venus to report the delay. Thus she found
herself climbing the stairs to the topmost spire of the palace. The lifts were
shut down, teleportation was out; she couldn't jump solo without a massive mana
supply, and while the mana crystals gave her the option, the tactical portions
of her mind were conserving power for the siege to come.
She almost fell through the door to the comm. room, panting heavily. "Lu<gasp>
Luna, Art..emis, we've got to<wheeze> warn the Queen, Beryl's invaded the city!"
Luna went white. Artemis frowned. "We THOUGHT we felt Youma nearby, but .. how bad is it?" Queried Artemis whilst Luna struggled to regain her wits.
"Barring a miracle? We can last no more than 4 hours." Supplied Mercury
dispassionately. This time Artemis went white, blood draining from his face,
until it resembled the ghost he seemed to be doomed to become. "We're also cut
of. We can't signal conventionally, there's too much Youma energy to let us
talk. So... I need help to set up the distress beacon."The two cats grabbed themselves firmly by the backs of the necks, and shook themselves mentally. They nodded and positioned themselves opposite each other, with the senshi in the middle. Concentrating, the crescents on their foreheads glowed bright with unearthly power, before erupting as beams of light that speared Mercury, who herself began to glow, energy building for a one shot
gamble at communication, a brief psychic distress flare that they hoped could
pierce the jamming.
Beryl looked at the spire as energies gathered around it in preparation for the flare. She waved Nephrite over."Destroy it. Before it signals."
Nephrite bowed and gestured for a small troop of Youma to break from their
current task and aid him.
The energies were nearly at peak. From the outside the communications spire resembled a sparkler, as discharges were caught and re-rerouted back to those inside.The Youma crashed through as Mercury began her message. It was to be short and as informative as possible. As the Youma began to tear into the delicate crystal
lattice that contained the magics, she edited it even further.
"HELP" blasted the mayday signal, even as the room exploded in shards and
confusion.Nephrite looked over the damage, and the dazed senshi. His job was done, they could signal no more, and what was the chance that the message had made it
through magics THAT torn apart?He left, leaving the Youma to kill the dazed trio in the room. Mercury was immediately swarmed over by monstrosities.
"Run!" Shrieked Mercury as she fought to buy time for the cats to escape. "I'll
hold them off for you!""NEVER!" Screamed Luna, recovering from the intense drain on her energy with feline swiftness. Artemis seemed to agree, as they both switched to their little used battle forms, and pounced upon the enemy.
Their attack was swift, brutal and merciless, yet couldn't last long, the two
panther shapes could not stop the Youma except by inertia and suprise and they
were about to lose both. Yet to both of them it was better than abandoning a
friend. The tide turned, and counterblows started to fall from the Youma,
impacting with sickening force against already tired bodies.
"Mercury Bubbles Blast!" Called Mercury weakly, finally able to breathe. Freed
of the full attention of the Youma she had finally been able to gather herself
for the weak attack, all she could presently muster. It worked though, and cats
and humans fled through the door, sealing it behind them as they left, leaving
blinded Youma in heir wake."Do you think we got through to Queen Serenity?" Asked a lightly bruised Artemis.
"We'd better have," Mercury and Luna grimly commented together.
"That's what I was afraid of," sighed Artemis.They continued to run.
I could write this up as a whole story to be released in one lump... or I could put this out as mini segments, and let people out there argue over what Senshi
fits each part either way, consider this a teaser!
You may not want Pluto as Ironhide. You're GETTING Minako as Ultra Magnus<evil
grin>
Anyway, this is just a thought that's been in my head for a while. Hope you
like!
No, K'thardin's lil' Misakimus Prime spam had nowt to do with this!<twitch>

Out-takes from the set:
Setsuna sat back, and watched as the autopilot calmly made a thousand or so
autonomous decisions every second, decisions that held them in the air and on
course. She turned to talk to her companions, Osaka Naru and Umino Gurio, when
all three of them heard the dull explosion in the rear of the shuttle.
Umino immediately bent to the controls attempting to minimise the effect, even
as Naru stepped up to go and physically check the damage. A knocking came from
the side airlock. Being the polite person she was Naru opened the door. An
embarrassed Valkyrie jockey scratched the back of his head before proffering his
insurance documents.

With a twanging of overstressed elastic, the line stretched to its limits and
snapped back, firing Chibi-Usa back towards the floor with a squawk of utter
disbelief and annoyance. Usagi looked up, paused in her running, and with a
gesture removed her Amulet and hurled it high into the air.

Amulet over her shoulder when transforming and it STILL ended up as the
centrepiece of her costume.
Beating her wings hard she caught up to the descending Chibi-Usa, Sailor Moon
started to sing off key.
"Here I come to save the day!"
"CUT!" yelled the director.
???
Beating her wings hard she caught up to the descending Chibi-Usa, Sailor moon
paused, allowed the falling child past her, before turning to the camera and
asking sweetly, "So just what IS my motivation for this scene?"
Below Chibi-Usa bounced off the safety net and charged after Sailor Moon.
"I'll give her motivation!"
????
"It will be critical when I'm finished with you... " Beryl gloated. With a
sharp insect-like movement she stepped down from her throne, and turned to her
generals. The peanut gallery grasped her meaning easily. Sadly Kunzite and
Zoisite were too busy necking to pay any attention. Both of them leapt to their
feet as a blast of majick melted the ground beneath them.
"What?!" Protested Zoisite beating flames out of his trousers. "Did we have a
cue?"Beryl Facefaulted, along with the director.
"I'd say that was a yes," admitted Kunzite in embarrassment. "Can we shoot that
again from the top please?"
????
Behind them, the Wiseman finished his snack and looked towards the system ahead of him. Around him the energies of the micro-system he had consumed flickered
through him, empowering his aura, until it glowed bright. He peered ahead,
senses unknown to mortals stretched to the limit, and saw something that made
him laugh.
Then he burped.
"Par'n me" he rumbled before producing a toothpick and picking a small
communications satellite out of his back molars...
Hey wouldn't it be fun to play it the other way - Anime characters in the
transformers universe<snickers>(TF isn't anime. At least not the GOOD tf stuff)
And for what it's worth, my spell check thinks that Chibi-Usa is spelt
"Tibia's". go fig.
