Usagi tripped and fell nearly caught in the avalanche of ice cream that engulfed her table and trapped the others. Buried up to their necks in ice cream and unable to reach their henshin pens or even move, it looked like they would be out of this fight until someone could dig them free.
A simple trip to Usagi’s favorite ice cream shop had turned into yet another battle, but somehow the fact that one of ‘her’ favorite places was being defiled made it feel worse. Being caught by a youma while in civilian ID was bad enough, but here? This was almost her second home. The owner had engraved her name on a plaque and mounted it on one of the tables for god’s sake! He had even put her in his will.
One quick set of transformation sequences later and one very surprised youma was trying to deal with the majority of the sailor senshi in close quarters. Strangely enough Icee was doing better then a dark general would have in a similar situation.
The Sailor Senshi were of the ‘Shoot it till it glows, and then shoot it in the dark’ school. Hand to hand combat was not exactly their specialty. The few members with some hand to hand combat experience were currently on ice(cream) and unable to do anything. The others couldn’t use their attacks because of the lengthy warm up time needed and the massive collateral damage that would result. A definite no-no when friends were part of the collateral.
Icee wasn’t exactly gifted in the hand to hand combat department either, but her attacks had practically no warm up time and didn’t do a lot in the way of damage except maybe to someone’s diet. So the weakest of all the youma that had been released by Jedite was doing the best of any so far.
Only four of the Senshi had managed to avoid being caught. Usagi had gotten up to get yet another banana split and tripped avoiding the surprise attack, while Ami and Hotaru had just walked in the door when it had all gone down. Rei had to finish her chores so help was unlikely to show up anytime soon.
Saturn had lasted all of four seconds before getting caught in a “Mocha Supreme Blizzard” and was enjoying life as part of one of the most heavily caffeinated iced beverages ever developed. You could just barely see her trying to drink her way out of the giant frosted plastic cup she was trapped in.
Ami was holding out rather easily as ice attacks, even ice cream flavored ones, were of limited effectiveness against the Senshi of Ice.
Usagi was just plain hard to hit, as all the tripping and sliding on the ice cream covered floor made her look like a cross between an experienced break-dancer and someone having an epileptic fit.
The edge of a “Frozen Dreams” attack had finally frozen Usagi’s feet to the floor, freeing Icee to finally deal with the one Senshi who kept managing to free herself from attacks that hadn’t missed.
Mercury had just gotten backed into a corner by a series of equally swift and silly attacks involving sprinkles and toppings of various types when...
