Pretty Soldier Sailor Moon HYBRID Presents: UNSonic
Episode 3: Haunting Phantoms?! Michiru Kaiou and Haruka Ten'ou

All right, my third episode!!......Oh, here's the third chapter.

What's in store for our friend Tails? Read on!

- Jessica

Inside the red light in outer space, the dark shadow resided in the large throne room. A pair of red eyes flashed from the mass. On one side of the throne room, a bright light illuminated from ceiling. At the shadow's summoning, a large crystal ball appeared, showing the events of the battle that had occurred several hours ago. It showed Aniro and Orina's deaths from the flashes of light. At that moment, the mysterious female silhouette appeared bowed down.

"I have come to your summoning, master."

"What is the meaning of this, Mahjong?" The shadow demanded. "This is the second time that your men have failed me! This will not be tolerated for much longer!"

"I understand, master..." The silhouette looked up.

"If Operation Doubletime is to be completed as we want it to be," the crystal ball showed an image of Sonic, Tails and Rotor stopping at a toolbooth in front of the city of Creecreeopolis, "we must get rid of the boy and those...those...fools!"

The crystal zoomed into the image of Tails. "They have a special preference to that boy for some reason," the silhouette Mahjong said wistfully. "If we can rid of him sooner, they might just give up, right?"

 "Of course not!" the shadow laughed. "Now, you know how I am with failure. So don't let you men get defeated this time!"

"They won't!" promised Mahjong. She stood up, revealing herself to be small dark-skinned woman clad in a black suit. "I have summoned our greatest warriors. The Four themselves! They won't let you down."

"Let's hope they don't."

"I shall prepare one of them to depart for the atmosphere of the city within the next hour, master." With that, Mahjong disappeared.

The shadow turned back to the image of Tails.

------------------------------------

The city of Creecreeopolis was a marvelous city, bigger than anything Tails had seen to that point. It was apparent as he looked around at the entrance of the city. The streets were very clean, and cars lined up the boulevard.

"Wow!" He turned to his companions. "This place is HUGE!!!"

"Yeah, Tails..." Sonic didn't look very interested in the city. "It's nice."

"Creecreeopolis." Rotor let out a deep breath. "The largest city of the Clover Belt. Home of the Clover Congress and it's president. The current population is about 10 million people. It's industries include manufacturing, textile and other stuff like that." He nodded. "This would be a logical place for Eggman to plant a base! To cut off Creecreeopolis from everyone would be like cutting of the Clover Belt's small intestine."

"That sounds lovely." Sonic gave a shudder. "This place is freezing! What's going on here?!"

"It's a different hemisphere, so it's winter here."

"Winter?! God, you could have told us that before we left Knothole."

"Well," Rotor shrugged. "The important part is that we made it here."

"No thanks to those weird monsters." Tails looked at the scratch he had on his arm from Orina. "Those guys were hard to beat! I still feel sick from what they did."

A streetcar drove up. Slightly weary from the journey, the three jumped on board. There were five humans and six animals on their car.

"Now all we have to do," Rotor said, "is look for a place to live and find out who sent that notice to us."

"Why do we have to find out that?" Tails asked.

"To make sure that the threat's authentic. We still don't know if it's an Eggman trap..." Sonic looked up. "Like that last time."

"Oh, yeah..."Tails turned red.

"This place is huge...it's bigger than the Presidential City," Sonic marveled. He looked up again to see a large structure made of crystal. "What's that?" he pointed. "A statue?"

"That?" Rotor shook his head. "That's the Monolith. It's home to the Clover Congress and its senators. It's the largest building on Mobius. It's actually two monoliths connected. That Monolith, it's such a marvel, isn't it?"

"Yeah..."

Tails looked out from the streetcar. As his eyes went to the street, his ears perked up. "Violin music!!" he thought. He looked to the left of the car to see, indeed, a figure playing a violin. It's face was shadowed, but Tails could tell that it was a woman with her hair flowing behind her.  As they passed the figure, a thought stuck Tails.

"Can it be?" he watched as the figure started to disappear on the street horizon. The thought of his superhero came to mind. "My superhero!"

Without thinking, he jumped off the streetcar and ran in the other direction.

"Tails?!" Rotor caught him running down the street. "Sonic!"

"What is that crazy kid doing?!" Sonic suddenly became angry. "What in hell is wrong with him?! We've got to stop him before he kills himself!"

"Uh...right!"

Meanwhile, Tails ran to the spot where he saw the woman, amid pushing crowds and garbage cans. He huffed when he stopped at the spot the woman stood, still playing the song he had heard on the streetcar. She wore a long brown coat and red scarf, with green fingerless gloves. On her feet were blue-green vinyl boots that disappeared under her coat.

"Excuse me..." Tails huffed.

The violin stopped playing. The woman took the violin from under her chin and looked at him with blue eyes. Tails looked up and stared at her matchless beauty, and he started to blush furiously.

"Hello." The woman's soft voice sounded very familiar. "You seem breathless, little boy."

"I'm sorry..." Tails was still huffing slightly. "What was that song that you played?"

"My song?" The woman notioned toward her violin. "It's an old, old song. It's supposedly from another time, another place, far away from here. I just might be the only one who knows it." The woman smiled. "Did you enjoy it?"

"Yeah." Tails looked at the violin. It was very beautiful. "Where did you learn how to play like that?"

"TAILS!" Tails heard Sonic shout. He turned to find Sonic and Rotor running towards him.

"Oh, hey miss, these are my..." Tails turned around to face the woman, only to find her gone. "Huh?!"

"Tails?!" Tails turned around to see Sonic with his eyes slightly slit.

"What were you doing, jumping off the streetcar like that!!"

"I..."

"You weren't thinking again." Sonic couldn't help roll his eyes. "I swear, sometimes I wonder about you..."

"Actually, Sonic..." Rotor butted in.

"What?"

"I think he did it to show us this." He pointed to a bulletin. On it was a piece of paper. "Look at what this says."

Sonic walked up to it.

"TENANTS WANTED," it said. "APARTMENTS FOR RENT, OF GOOD QUALITY AND QUANTITY. AFFORDABLE PRICE EVERY MONTH, WILL EVEN NEGOTIATE FOR LOWER. AVERAGE APARTMENT: 2 BED ONE BATH, HEATING, PLUMBING AND KITCHEN INCLUDED. CALL OR COME TO FOLLOWING ADDRESS: 3028 5TH STREET AT MADAME MAGIC CUPS OCCULT STORE."

"Woah..." Sonic jumped back a little bit. "Sounds really seedy."

"When did that ever stop you before, Sonic?" Tails asked.

"It has nothing to do with that." Sonic gave a little chuckle. "I just don't want to be turned into a frog. Now where's this 5th street..."

As they walked off, the woman watched them.

"Are you all right?" A man's silhouette appeared behind her.

"I'm fine." The woman replied.

"Where do you suppose those people are going?"

"Who knows..." The woman looked at them.

-------------------------------

"Well," Rotor looked up, "here we are."

The three stood in front of a green five-story building. It was in a section of connected townhouses, and it was the smallest of the buildings. On a sign, it read, "MAGIC CUPS".

"I guess so." Sonic noticed a sign on the window. This one said, "NON-DISCRIMINATORY TATTOOS AND PIERCINGS BY APPOINTMENT. CALL FOR TAROT READINGS, 24-7!"

"Sonic," Tails asked, "What's a nondiscriminatory tattoo and piercing?"

"Ahem..." Sonic gave a cough. "It's...uh...they do humans and animals."

"Oh!" Tails smiled.

"Rotor..." Sonic noticed Rotor smirking. "Shut up."

"Okay, okay..." Rotor still had a smirk on his face as they entered the building.

Inside, they found themselves in a semitypical magic shop. There were potions, tarot cards, spell books and such. One difference that Sonic noticed, however, is that the employees weren't wearing sorcerer's garments.

"Say, I wonder who we-"

"AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!" A loud scream penetrated the room. Tails gave a screech.

"WHAT'S THAT?!" he whined.

"Oh..." A woman passed by. "That's just the owners' freak show."

"There's more than one owner?"

"Yeah." Another scream came. "Just ignore him. They give a torture show every day."

"Torture show?!"

"You should see what that guy can take. It's amazing he's not dead." With that the woman left.

Sonic looked at Rotor.

"Why not?" Rotor turned to Tails. "Stay out here. It might be disgusting."

 The two went in to find seven people lined up at a bar, drinking. In front on the bar was an electric chair with someone strapped into it. The unlucky denizen was covered in a white sheet as he/she/it was strapped in by skin-tight belts. Near the control panel was a creature smocked in a surgeon's cloak, its hand on the switch.

"Now ladies and gentlemen," the smocked creature announced in a surprisingly normal female voice, "I am going to ask my lucky assistant (here Rotor and Sonic heard chuckles) what he think about the concept of God. Does he exist, assistant?"

"Why are you asking me?" A muffled male voice answered her. "How should I know? Say...uh...what am I in?"

"You're about to find out, aren't you?" The smocked woman turned to the side. "Yo, Nathan, turn the current on!" she screamed.

"Current?!" Everyone could tell that in the chair the assistant was shaking. "You're not..."

"Current's on!" the reply came.

"No - you wouldn't!" The unlucky man struggled to get out of the sheet.

"You better pray, buddy boy." The woman turned the switch on.

 Rotor's mouth opened wide. Sonic covered his eyes as the whole room was filled with bright static electricity. After about a minute, the woman turned it off and walked over to the chair.

"So, she asked cheerfully. "What do say? Is there a god?"

"I hate you..." came the muttered reply.

Everyone, including Sonic and Rotor, paused before applauding.

"Thank you, thank you." The woman pointed towards the door. "All of you may exit that way..."

After everyone left, Sonic and Rotor decided to approach the woman as she started to take off her smock.

In the lobby, Tails watched everyone leave. Suddenly, the woman came into his sights as one of the attendees!

"No way!" he thought. He decided to follow her. He followed her all the way to the next block, where he finally caught up with her.

"Wait!" The woman heard Tails behind her. She turned around to see Tails panting again.

"Hello." The woman smiled. "You're a fast runner."

"Where are you going?" Tails asked. "Every time I see you, you're leaving. I don't even know you're name!"

"Michiru..." A man came up to her. "Are you ready? We've still got a lot to do."

"Of course." Michiru turned back to Tails. "If you're in need of some assistance," she took out a watch and gave it to him. "just take this."

"Uh...okay..." Tails stammered as his face turned red. The man and woman walked away. He looked at the watch, confused. "Why did she say that..."

"Hey there!" Tails turned to see a large box with two legs waddling towards him. The box stooped and leaned against a wall, revealing a boy who was carrying it. He looked at the woman, Michiru, and the man as they walked away.

"Oooooh..." he mused as he started to walk again.

Suddenly, his feet slipped, and he went flying. The box flew out of his hands. "Ack!" he screeched. "Help me!!"

"Oh!" Tails jumped up and caught the box. He flew back down to the ground and gave it to the boy. "Here you go."

"Thanks." The boy gratefully took the box. "Manic and Sonia would have killed me if I had dropped these. It's for their store. We just finished our torture show, and I have to get these killer lobsters to the store in the next ten minutes or they'll die of dehydration."

"Killer lobsters?"

"Yeah." The boy started to walk again. "You know about the show, right?

You were in the shop. I saw you."

"You work for them?"

"Yup. I also board in their building." They were at the door. "My name's Nathan Olsen..." The boy attempted to give his hand to Tails. The box started to tip over.

"N-nooo..." Tails quickly took the box. "It's okay. We can do that later."

"Ok. Fine." The two entered the shop. They were met by the woman who had performed the freak show. She turned out be a magenta-colored hedgehog with long, pink curly hair frizzed all over her shoulders and face. She kept pushing her hair as she talked to Nathan.

"It's about time you didn't kill those poor lobsters." She dove in and took a particularly large one out. "Here you go, Manic, these are going to be crawling over your body tomorrow!"

"Come one, Sonia!" Manic, a green hedgehog, protested as he combed the electricity out of his hair. "Why can't I torture you tomorrow? You're always torturing me!"

"Oh, well." Sonia adjusted her blue bikini top and mini shorts. "If you want to get arrested again like you did last time..."

"But that wasn't fair either." Manic walked over to the cash register. "I only said, 'I'm going to put my assistant in a tank of boiling oil', and the police show up and arrest me for abuse!! It totally sucks that women can abuse men."

"I'm not abusing you."

"I don't know...with the electric chair..." Manic muttered as he left the room.

"Oh..." Sonia smiled as he left. "Don't pay any attention to him. He's always cranky." She turned to Tails. "What can I do for you?"

"Oh, I-"

"There you are!!" Sonic rolled his eyes as he came into the room. "I should've figured."

"Oh, no he was just helping me with these crabs." Nathan, the boy, suddenly stepped in. "It's perfectly all right with me, and it's all right with you, right, Sonia?"

"Uh huh." Sonia swished her hair around. "If it's all right with you," she echoed. She shoved Sonic aside before leaving the room.

"Hey!" Sonic turned around, slightly infriated. "You've been a bitch to me and my friend about the rooms, now stop or I'll-"

His answer was the abrupt slamming of a door in his face.

"Ah, she's always like that..." Nathan shrugged. "She's a bitch by nature. She hates guys."

"Hates guys?"

"Yeah. She's one of those anti men people that burn their bras and stuff like that."

"Oh, we got the pick of the draw." Sonic turned to Tails. "Seems you picked an apartment building whose owner is a bra burning feminist who wants to kill her brother."

"Not feminist!" Nathan ran over and covered Sonic's mouth. "Womanist."

"Womanist?"

"She hates feminists too. Don't call her that or she'll kick you out for sure."

"Oh, great." Sonic shook his head. "This has to happen to me, doesn't it..."

"Don't worry, Sonic, you'll feel better about it in the morning!" Tails noticed that Nathan was having trouble with the lobsters. "Here," Tails took the box and put it on a shelf. "That should do it, Nathan."

"Thanks." Nathan wiped his brow. "Hey, I should pay you back or something."

"With what would you pay me with?"

"I would do it with money..."

"Don't trust Tails with money," warned Sonic as he went upstairs.

"Don't listen to him." Tails gave a chuckle. "He's been that way since we encountered those monsters."

"Monsters? Where?!" Nathan's eyes grew big as he quickly swerved his head around.

"No, not here, out in the Belt."

"Oh, okay!" Nathan gave a laugh and a shrug. "Well, anyway, I want to do it with money and all, but..."

"But..."

"I don't have any. Sonia won't pay me anything for what I do. Only Manic does, and it isn't much. Just minimum wage." Nathan started to search through his pockets. "But...I do have...these." He took out two tickets. "This was supposed to be a date with me and my girlfriend but she backed out. It's tonight."

"Hey! Cool!" Tails looked at the tickets "A concert! But," Tails kind of shook his head. "I don't think that I'll be able to with us just moving in this city."

"Well, why don't you ask your brother?"

"My brother?"

"That guy."

"Oh, Sonic isn't my brother. He's my best friend." Tails nodded. "I'll go ask him just to see. You never know."

"If he says yes, I'll be here in three hours to take you there. Remember," Nathan added as Tails bounded up the stairs to the apartments, "It's payment for helping me! Make sure you tell him that!"

Manic came out of another door.

"What did you give that kid?" he asked.

"A concert ticket, I hope."

"A classical music concert in Imperial Park?" Manic looked at the ticket.

He laughed. "I wish I could go. Nothing'll happen there to touch my skin." He kept laughing as he left the room.

-------------------------------

The stage for the concert was set up. As dusk started to sink in, a small dot appeared in the sky above the stage.

"Haha!" Eggman leaned over his craft. "This is interesting! What could be happening that would attract so many people at one time? A concert? What glory!" He took out a pellet. "My instant superbots can take care of them at the peak of the concert! In one special pellet, you can create many powerful allies by making the conditions just right to insure their births." He examined the pellet. "What have we here? Waggles and Quinnlio! Specially made to be immune to that obnoxious music!" With that, he threw the pellet down to the ground as he crazily laughed. He then sped away. "I'll be back shortly, but I need to check something first!"

Scant minutes later, a figure appeared on the stage. She wore a revealing black dress that went to her thighs. Around her neck was a collar with a clover on the front.

"Well, well, a gathering place!" she laughed. "For sure, that little brat will be here. Those two may also come as well!"

She lifted her hand, and a monster appeared.

"Your commands?" the monster bowed.

"Wait here until the concert is at the peak of it's attendance," the woman waved her hand toward the empty park. "Once you start to see people leave, attack! And I want you to find one particular two-tailed fox. Bring him to me like the master ordered, and you can do whatever you want to the crowd!"

"That's a deal, master!" The monster brightened.

"It's not a deal, Fargotone." The woman shook her head. "It's an order."

"As you wish!" The monster disappeared.

The woman laughed as she disappeared.

------------------------------

"Hey, I'm really happy that you came, Tails. That's your preference, right?"

"Yup." Tails looked over to the crowds they were in. "There's so many people here."

"Classical music is popular in Creecreeopolis. Say, how did you convince your friend to let you come?"

"I got everything he told me to do right and finished."

"Right?" Nathan looked at him.

"Well...I tend to sometimes do stupid things," Tails admitted.

"Just like me." Nathan laughed. "You know," he bent down to whisper, and as he did his eyebrows went up and down. "I think we can be good friends. We're so alike."

"Really?"

At that moment, an announcer came on and announced the beginning of the concert.

"This is going to be interesting." Nathan took out popcorn. "Want some?"

"Thanks!"

For several sets, nothing happened. The music was very beautiful, and the artists included a choir, a bagpipe troupe and a symphony.

"Wow!" Tails was awe-inspired. "They're so good..."

"Would you like a concert book? They're free!" Nathan was suddenly handed a pamphlet. Before he could object, the person giving them out walked away. "Thanks." Nathan handed the book over to Tails. "You can have it."

Tails accepted the book and flipped the book open. After a few seconds he gave a yelp.

"Oh my god!"

"What!?" Nathan swerved around to face Tails. "What's wrong?"

"Look!"

Nathan looked on the pamphlet and, lo and behold, the woman from that afternoon was there!

"What?" Nathan took the book from him and scanned the book. "That doesn't sound right. Most of these people are well known. I don't even know her!

What's up with that?!"

"Noooooo!!" Tails threw his hands up. "That's the woman who gave me the watch this afternoon!"

"What watch?" Nathan asked.

"This one!" Tails showed him the sea green watch that the woman had given him.

"Are you sure?" Nathan looked at the pamphlet again. "Her name is Michiru Kaiou."

"The man with the woman called her Michiru." Tails replied, his eyes wide. "She had the same green hair, the same blue eyes. It's her!"

"Ladies and gentlemen," the announcer boomed. "Violinist Michiru Kaiou, accompanied by pianist Haruka Ten'ou."

The two turned toward the stage. Walking on the stage was none other than the woman from that afternoon, Michiru Kaiou, wearing a taffeta dress and a chiffon scarf. Behind her was the man, Haruka Ten'ou, who wore a tuxedo.

"No way!" Nathan couldn't believe it. "What are they doing, following you wherever you go?!"

"Maybe they're stalkers..." Tails thought about it, then shook his head.

"No. They can't be."

"Why not?"

"Because..." Michiru started playing her violin. "I know that sound. I heard it in Knothole during the Night of Stars."

"Night of Stars?! What's that?!"

"Well, it's..." Tails then went on to explain the Night of Stars, the Ubermench that followed and the comet that had crashed into the ground, and the vision that he had seen with it of the silhouette. He then explained the dream and the second battle. "I think she might be it!"

"Who? The superhero?" Nathan made a face. "She doesn't look like one."

"She must be! I...I know it sounds crazy..."

"Not as crazy as some people I know." Nathan turned back to stare at Michiru. "I know people who've told stories that make yours seem real."

"Really..."

Michiru's eyes met with Nathan's. She gave him a quick wink, then returned to her violin.

"Oh my god!" Nathan almost screamed. "Did you see that? She's hitting on me!"

"Huh?"

"She's winked at me. It's a sure sign!"

Finally, Michiru's set was over, and another band took their place. Tails noticed that some of the people were starting to leave.

"Hey, it's getting late." Nathan noticed too. "I say we start to leave..."

Suddenly, screams surrounded the two as the people leaving started getting electrocuted!

"What?!" Nathan looked up to see a roll of energy fly toward them.

"Help!" he screamed. Tails picked him up and flew him to the stage as people started to panic.

From the corner of his eye, Tails saw Haruka and Michiru peer out at the debacle. They quickly started to retreat to the back stage.

"We've got to follow them!" Tails yanked Nathan behind him as he ran.

Meanwhile, the robots that Eggman had made were attacking scores of people. The revelers tried to run, only to suddenly hear a voice from the stage.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!" The black clad woman gave an evil smile.

"There!" Meanwhile, Tails saw the two run into a room. "I've got to get to them!"

His approach to the door was met by its' slamming into his face.

"Hey!!" Nathan stood up and pounded on the door. "Michiru, Hongjuje, whatever your names our, let us in!" he shouted.

"Oh, no! Look!" Tails pointed to the floor. A bright light was pulsing through the door.

"What are they doing? What's going on?"

"We'll just have to try harder to get the door down!" Tails kept pounding.

"Woah, wait!" Nathan stopped him. "What's that?"

"What's what?"

"That noise."

The two stopped and listened.

"-To show you some wonderful tricks that we are about to perform for you tonight," a woman's voice boomed. "I would like, as the wonderful person that I am, to introduce you to my partner. You can come out now!"

"With pleasure." A warped voice replied. The two gasped.

"We've got to do something about this!" Tails and Nathan bolted for the stage. As they left, the door to the room slowly opened.

Meanwhile, the crowds of screaming people were trapped between two giant robots on the left and an energy force field on the right. Up in his hovercraft, Eggman, not yet aware of the other presence, laughed maniacally.

"Yes, YES!!" he yelped. "They've trapped the people, they've trapped them! I'd like to see Sonic come and-what's this?"

He looked onto his monitor. It showed a scantily clad girl with a creature next to her upon the main stage.

"What's this? Freedom fighters?!" Eggman growled "What are they doing here?!"

The girl pointed to the robots. "Get them!" she ordered.

"As you command!"

The creature suddenly jumped up towards the robots. One of the robots tried to blast the creature but it dodged. The creature then opened it's mouth and let out a huge belch, spraying a huge energy attack as it did. Tails and Nathan, huffing slightly, came out in time to see the robots explode from the attack.

"No way!" Tails screamed. "That creature just destroyed both robots!"

"NOOOOOOOOO!!!!" From his hovercraft, Eggman's face turned beet red with anger. "I won't let them get away with destroying my beautiful creations!!"

The girl turned around to see Nathan and Tails, still standing petrified.

"Fargotone!" she ordered.

"I see him!" the monster flew over to the girl. "What do I do with him, Lady Cleona?"

"Kill them." The woman grinned as she turned to Tails. "I would certainly like to see you get yourself out of this one!" She laughed as she disappeared.

Fargotone took out a ball and threw it at Tails. Tails dodged the ball as it missed his head by an inch. It went through the back wall and exploded.

"Holy shit!!" Nathan screeched. "What do we do now!! Why does this always happen to me!? I go out for one friggin concert, a friggin three hour deal of rest and relaxation, and I come out like friggin mashed potatoes!! It always happens!"

Fargotone chuckled as she took another aim. However, she was blasted by a laser.

"Fool!" Eggman's hovercraft loomed over the stage. He pointed at Tails. "How dare you to think you could stop my marvelous plan, you brat! Now you and your two freedom fighting friends will pay!"

"Oh, no! Eggman too?!"

"What do you mean, Eggman too?!" Nathan noticed that the monster, in attacking them, had cut a live electrical wire. "Why does this happen to me?!" He whined. He covered his hands with his jacket, gave a scream and dashed for it, only to be blasted by Eggman's laser. The blast sliced through his sleeve but only nicked his skin.

"Heheh..." Eggman chuckled. "Trying to kill yourself with that live wire, eh? I'll deal with you two later!" He turned towards Fargotone. "As for you, my energy blasting friend, your days of mortality have been numbered!"

He aimed his laser. Suddenly, as he fired, Fargotone leaped up and dodged the blast, landing on the hovercraft. Her hands sizzled with energy as she landed.

"What?!" Eggman almost jumped back. "Another creature faster than my laser?! Impossible!!"

"Heheh...fat man..." Fargotone's hands balled into fist, and she punched down on the hovercraft, causing it to malfunction. The hovercraft spun around as it threw itself into the air like a balloon filled with helium.

"No way! She doesn't work for Eggman?!"

"Now for you, you little brat..." Fargotone charged after Nathan and Tails.

Finally, Eggman regained control of his hovercraft and turned on the onboard computer, only to see the monster attacking the two boys.

"Inconceivable!" he laughed. "That creature isn't a freedom fighter at all!" He paused. "But she doesn't seem to be my ally as well. Who is she...?"

Finally, Tails and Nathan were backed in a corner. Fargotone created a large energy ball, preparing to blast them.

"Now what do we do?!" Nathan looked hopelessly to Tails, "And you told Sonic that you'd be coming home in one piece!"

"I...I don't..." Tails looked down. The watch was on his wrist, and he remembered what Michiru told him on the street. "Right!"

"Huh?" Nathan looked down at him.

Tails clicked a button on the side of the wrist, only to find that, when the top popped open, the watch wasn't really what it looked like, but that it was a communicator!

"Help!" Tails shouted into the watch. "Help us! Anyone who can hear me, HELP!!"

"What the hell are you doing, Tails!" Nathan was confused.

"Now!" The monster's voice came up again. The two boys looked up. "Now. In the name of Cleona, you die."

The monster lifted her hands up. Suddenly, huge blue sphere blasted Fargotone in the side, submerging her in water. The energy ball was knocked out of her hand, and it careened towards Tails. Tails started to scream as the ball got closer and closer.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

The energy ball furiously slammed into the wall, missing Tails head my mere centimeters. Tails started to shake.

"What...what is this!" Fargotone looked up towards the rafters and gasped.

"YOU!!"

Nathan looked up to find two silhouettes standing there. Both were tall, but one was like a giant. Fargotone's face became pale.

"No..."

"How dare you to disturb this peaceful gathering!" The taller silhouette jumped down, revealing a straw-haired woman in a navy blue sailor suit.

"Approached by the new crisis, the magnificent Sailor Uranus!"

"The power of tranquillity will always conquer the essence of the darker side." The other silhouette jumped down, revealing a green-haired woman in a sea green sailor suit. "Approached by the new crisis, the elegant Sailor Neptune!"

"World Shaking!" Uranus slammed her fist to the ground, creating a huge yellow energy ball.

"Deep Submerge!" Neptune lifted her hands up, water swirling around them until it all formed a huge green energy ball. She threw it at the creature.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Fargotome screamed as she was torn to pieces.

Uranus looked at Neptune.

"Too close..." Neptune replied.

Up in the air, the two soldiers suddenly saw a faint white dot. The faint white dot was actually Eggman's hovercraft, with Eggman cursing while he was riding. His dashboard computer blipped off.

"What is this!!" He slammed his hands down on the dashboard until in shattered. "What's going on, and who are these damn people invading my new territory!" He clenched his fists. "They won't get away...THEY WON'T!! I'LL SHOW THEM!!!"

He laughed as he disappeared into the night. Down on the ground, Neptune and Uranus watched with some slight confusion.

"What the..." Nathan stood up and faced their mysterious saviors. He looked at their faces closely and realized the truth. "We knew it!" he cried. He turned to Tails, who was heavily breathing. "We knew it." He turned back to the two and pointed to them. "We got you down! We knew it all along!" He turned back to Tails. "You were right! It's them, Tails, it Michi-"

Tails promptly fainted.

"Tails?!" Nathan jumped down and lifted Tails up. He rolled his eyes as he looked up to the sky. "WHY DOES THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME?!?!"

To be continued...
